Pakistan vs India | Asia Cup | Karachi | 26/06/2008| Pak Innings

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi now???

 

[Inswinger]

YK is gone
2 new batsmen now. It will be tough now

 

[iZeeshan]

Damn, wrong man goes. Misbah and Yousuf.

 

[MIG]

Word from the dressing room is that Misbah was having a drink from the fridge when Malik came back - and MoYo ran out to bat.... Misbah not happy as Afridi says he is next ....

 

[jusarrived]

pak loosing Yk at the wrong time .....if misbah takes time to settle down as usual 300 will be max pak can get !

 

[TruSachFan]

now two new batsmen in. Will take time to settle. Come on India

 

[Zeenix]

land younis goes

 

[Sparhawk]

I am bewildered at this move, yousuf coming in the slog overs.
Younis gone now, it should be misbah and afridi at the crease right now.

 

[DM]

At Toshiba, we believe innovation is a journey, not a destination.

 

[iZeeshan]

MoyO on rampage mode!! 2 runs in 3 balls !!


YK is outtttttttttttttttttt

Fixed.

 

[Poison]

see, now we have a settler, yousuf, and misbah or afridi out there

 

[DOOSRA95]

Younis the MUG

 

[Zeenix]

On this pitch pakistan nothing less then 330 would be defendable..

 

[SameerM]

probably be misbah

 

[MIG]

what the hell our coach and captaan sahab was thinking by sending MOYO in.

and it begins....

 

[DM]

Misbah in

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Misbah!

 

[Oxy]

Come on Mizbi!

Why so slow

 

[Goldbrain]

Oops wrong timing

 

[Zeenix]

I think Indian fielding hasn't been good today. Probably the crowd pressure got to them

 

[SameerM]

Boundary Munching Maniac, Misbah

 

[Oxy]

Wkts fell at the wron g time - 2 new batsman in

 

[Sparhawk]

Yousuf two dots against yuvraj...........

 

[Oxy]

Send Sohail TAnvir in

 

[Dhonifan]

On this pitch pakistan nothing less then 330 would be defendable..

i wouldnt be so sure. if wkt gets slower later it will be hard to chase even 250

 

[iZeeshan]

I am not feeling too good right now...

 

[MIG]

People seem to forget that there were times when MoYo was likened to Bevan...

 

[DM]

Terrible from Moyo so far. He's got to improve

Completely agree with Aamir Sohail, Afridi should have been sent in.

 

[jusarrived]

2 dot balls and a single from yuvis over ...another dot now : D

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi padded up. He will be next.

 

[Zeenix]

Afridi is padded up

 

[Oxy]

Didnt have to wait long for the 1st potential run-out with Moyo!

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

only 3 runs

 

[Sparhawk]

3 off that yuvraj over.. this could hurt us.

 

[Dhonifan]

amir sohail's voice becoming really low and chilly as he wonders why afridi is still inside

 

[iZeeshan]

Just 3 runs off the over. 42 gone.

Still need at least 80-100 more runs.

 

[Zeenix]

i wouldnt be so sure. if wkt gets slower later it will be hard to chase even 250

Has the pitch slowed down yet

 

[Oxy]

i wouldnt be so sure. if wkt gets slower later it will be hard to chase even 250

) Are you watching the game? This is a 350+ pitch!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

We have 4 batsmen left - these guys should try and hit every ball as hard as they can

 

[jusarrived]

People seem to forget that there were times when MoYo was likened to Bevan...

never , MoYo was never the finisher Beven was.....but he did score much faster then !

 

[Oxy]

Has the pitch slowed down yet

He's winding us up!

 

[DM]

amir sohail's voice becoming really low and chilly as he wonders why afridi is still inside

I wonder if Afridi's wrist is still injured

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Pakistan is probably the only team in the world that wouldn't send out afridi to bat after 40 overs with 1/2 wickets down. Atleast give afridi the chance to score some runs 'if' he clicks, whats the use of him coming in to bat when only 3-4 overs remain!

 

[DM]

Ramiz and Lal now also surprised Afridi isn't out there

 

[moumotta]

India doing every thing they could to lose. Surprise they are still in with an outside chance.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Huge cheer as Afridi is showed on the screen!

 

[adi 101]

Afridi has been in terrible form i wont be surprised if he comes out and scores a duck, over hyped slogger.

 

[iZeeshan]

Why is YOUSUF IN NOW?

 

[deviously~fading~away]

41st over brings in 4 runs...
42nd over brings in 3 runs...

 

[DM]

OH MY GOODNESS ) ) )

Camera went to Afridi and the crowd go BERSERK!!!!!!!

Amazing effect this guy has on people

The crowd absolutely love him )

 

[Zeenix]

44444444444`

 

[the_game]

Stupid decision to not send Afridi in (will probably cost us about 30 runs).

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

44444444444

Superbly "whipped" by Yousuf

 

[Easa]

They always do this

Keep Afridi for the last three overs, then when every ball does not go for SIX, its his fault. Ridiculous.

 

[iZeeshan]

Need another boundary this over. Yes, its the last ball.

 

[Zeenix]

Single to Yousuf.

 

[TruSachFan]

anotheer single

 

[DM]

No matter what Afridi has done with the bat of late, the crowd still LOVE him

amazing

)

 

[lollol]

rr dropped to almost 6 in last 5 overs...


This is looking BAD!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, I dont understand why Yousuf is out there. No disrespect, but he sucks in the slog overs.

We REALLY needed 330.

 

[Zeenix]

4 by yousuf

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

4444444444

 

[Zeenix]

Another 4 by yousuf

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

One thing about Yousuf, he will find the gaps.

 

[DM]

They always do this

Keep Afridi for the last three overs, then when every ball does not go for SIX, its his fault. Ridiculous.

Exactly

And then the usual few start criticising him for not managing to take us to 400 runs


Afridi should have been brought on much earlier

 

[iZeeshan]

Nice 4 from Yousuf. But still...

 

[Dhonifan]

) Are you watching the game? This is a 350+ pitch!

yeah, i'm watching and with good bowling it aint gonna be a piece of cake to chase 300+, and if we lose quick wkts anything can happen

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

44444444444 again!!

 

[Sparhawk]

Back to back 44444444444's to yousuf.

Well now!

 

[sehban]

i think so 300 will be a good score and no matter what kind of wicket it is 300 is never easy to chase and i think so pakistan have the arsenal to restrict india and win this match..i think so only thing pak team will be really worried is their fielding if they field well i think so pak should win this match easily

 

[jusarrived]

wow 3 boundries of last 4 balls for MoYo

 

[Zeenix]

Single to yousuf

 

[Zeenix]

Arun Lal is hysteric

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Solid start to the over!

 

[DM]

COME ON GUYS BIG SLOGS!!!!!!

with every delivery, more and more pressure on Afridi

 

[sehban]

whats the exact score guyz right now?

 

[Zeenix]

Good return.. Chance of a run out

 

[Sparhawk]

We need about 12/over from this point onwards.

Run out appeal against yousuf.

 

[Zeenix]

Probably in.. But very very close

 

[DM]

just give it in
