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

[lollol]

Meh he took the Aussies apart aswell. But i think theyre gonna have to have a go after the 8th or 9th over.
we'll need 300 +++ to be sure of a win.

Believe me, 300+ is NOT enough for a win....

Ur living in denial if u think that

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

india doing well so far in keeping the runs down

 

[dblock]

6 overs for 14!

What on earth, our bowlers would have given half in extras and half in boundaries within 2 overs.

 

[Poison]

Just keep wickets and hand and try to get 4 runs an over. That would work, yes.

The Karachi Khanjars look like they could accelerate the Pakistani runrate a bit

 

[Momo]

They are trying to do a repeat of Kitply final. I am not sure if they will get two centuries today though!

 

[TaZ]

14 is what sehwag will get in a few balls!

 

[iZeeshan]

I don't get it. Is the bwoling really good? Or are they just bad?

Btw, I am watching...

 

[Poison]

Believe me, 300+ is NOT enough for a win....

Ur living in denial if u think that

Note the three plusses [+] after the 300. I thought to write 340, but that would be jinxing the side.

 

[iZeeshan]

We have to lose 3 wickets first

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

india building pressure here

 

[Isolation]

sup with the timing and placement....

 

[Isolation]

poor start from pak...hopefully they will imrove...not sure wat they are thinking

 

[iZeeshan]

2.05 per over.

 

[Inswinger]

Decent start by the openers but I hope they dont throw it awa now.

 

[Random Aussie]

Come on, the ball is not swinging and this bloke is military medium....

Yawn

 

[lollol]

After 7 overs, only 15 runs scored )

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

No wickets lost - good stuff.

Remember ladies, there are 50 overs to this game.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

thats the difference between pak and india openers.

this is a good batting wicket....shewag and gambir wouldbe intimidating the bowlers.

these two r not

 

[lollol]

Here comes arun lal, damn i hate that guy

 

[iZeeshan]

Look at those girls going GooGooGaaGaa over Malik.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

malik n butt both of them are one of the good batsman of our team...at least one of them should try to play his shots

 

[iZeeshan]

No wickets lost - good stuff.

Remember ladies, there are 50 overs to this game.

I know, I completely understand. But if its a flat wicket, shouldn't they be scoring AT LEAST at 3.7 an over?

 

[Dhonifan]

looks like salman butt is determined to be there till the 50th over
too cautious for my liking. we need to have him take some risks

 

[Momo]

the problem is that unless you dont go after the bowlers, they wont be thrown away from their line and length.

 

[Inswinger]

Butt having difficulty finding the gaps.

 

[Random Aussie]

First target 50 off 20 overs

 

[Poison]

Haha you wish mr India. will get 100* again

 

[Plasma]

Somebody should tell them that hitting the ball straight to the fielders is not a good thing.

 

[DM]

Look at those girls going GooGooGaaGaa over Malik.

***approaching 'breaker-inciting levels of observation***

 

[pakistani pride]

way 2 slow. this is modern day 1 day cricket guys !

 

[in_cutter]

a flat track & 15 runs off 7 overs

c'mon boyz!!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

even the pak passion commentator is getting frustrated.....

 

[DM]

I hope they really start going after the bowling

With this wicket, India can chase 500 down with their batting

 

[moumotta]

Steady start by Pak openers. Good stuff.

 

[McBoom]

The ball has stopped swinging and Praveen is bowling his slow bowling with a long run up. Make use of the field placings and hit him over the top.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

indian bowlers have really done their homework

 

[161]

nonsense ... these guys aren't even picking up singles.

horribad !

 

[D BHAI]

Baiju : "I think Pakistan has changed their strategy against India. From the Kitply final onwards, they are trying to keep their wickets during in the initial overs and then trying to attack in the last 20 overs. I think that strategy is good also. If the wicket loss of at the end of 30 overs is 2 or less then they can score more than 150 in the last 20 overs. They have good hitters like Afridi, Yousuf etc"

is this can be happened every time?

 

[iZeeshan]

Going at less then 2 an over.

I must say that even without losing wickets, this is pathetic.

 

[Poison]

the First ball of the RP singh over shud have been put awaya.

 

[lollol]

Hmm, i think 90%+ of all the balls hit are going straight to the fielders.

Lawson should spot this, and fix it!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

I know, I completely understand. But if its a flat wicket, shouldn't they be scoring AT LEAST at 3.7 an over?

One big over, and the run rate will shoot up.

Thats right, just one over.

 

[Inswinger]

A maiden.....
Comr on guys get a move on!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SameerM]

welcome welcome

Pak v's India - take 3 !!!


Wins total so far: Pak 2 (extra point for the Final) - Ind 1

 

[Raz]

15-0 after 8 overs

A bit too slow going for my liking, even though the bowling has generally been quite accurate. Need to step it up a bit.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

i wonder if pak r practising for a test match?

 

[Plasma]

Milk the Teeli!

We gonna need 200 in the last 20 overs.

 

[Raz]

Ishant Sharma on to bowl

 

[moumotta]

3 runs in last 4 overs. Keep up the good work.

 

[DM]

From Cricinfo:

) I love how they include "etc" as if there are more. Gone are the Moin/Akram/Afridi/Razzaq/Azhar lower order days

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

They should go after this female.

 

[Dhonifan]

Haha you wish mr India. will get 100* again

I hope you just jinxed him

 

[SameerM]

maybe Fawad would have suited this style of tight bowling - atleast he would get singles!

 

[D BHAI]

they waste 8 overs to keep wickets in hands!

 

[Isolation]

Oh My Days !!!! 444444444

 

[Plasma]

444 for butt!

 

[Random Aussie]

Yay a single

Is it mandatory for every Indian bowler to wear a bouncy gold neck thing?

Edit now 444444 at last

 

[Inswinger]

finally a 4

 

[Mercenary]

The breeze is behind Ishant, it pushe dhim over at the end of his run up and he fell down!!

 

[Momo]

I am afraid they have gone a bit too negative. 50 - 8 = 42
remember boys, you wont be allowed to carry the remaining (not-out) wickets home once the 50 overs finish unlike the points won from this match.

 

[Raz]

Down the legside and Butt flicks that away very fine to the boundary.

[Inswinger]

Just remember what happened in the last match..........

 

[pakistani pride]

this is not a strategy LOL they just cant find the gaps !

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

india would have been min 40 or so

 

[Raz]

Butt makes room for himself, smashes that very hard, but Gambhir dives and saves 4 runs.

 

[Inswinger]

Butt cant get a break, he hits the ball hard but right at the fielder........

 

[SameerM]

steady start - must be the new tactics.. keep wickets no matter what happens

dont even get singles, incase u get run out !!! cmonnnn booooost the Runrate u snails

 

[Poison]

Meanwhile, the only real Arab in the UAE team bowls a 10 ball over. ))

 

[lollol]

No wide called?

 

[Oxy]

DOwn leg side - not called a wide???

 

[Isolation]

***

Down Legside And No Wide Given!!!

 

[Random Aussie]

Finally India get warned for running on the pitch, they did it all last time too....

 

[Raz]

The final ball goes down the legside, but the wide is not given by Tony Hill.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

this is not a strategy LOL they just cant find the gaps !

looks like they giving the indians fielding practise

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

How was that NOT a wide????

Down the legside you dumbass!!

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

at least 4 an over boys

 

[Plasma]

Umpire doesn't call a wide, sharma surprised as well.

 

[Momo]

this is not a strategy LOL they just cant find the gaps !

I agree. They are struggling. A few flukes (misfields, byes, legbyes) might change the game a bit.
