Pakistan vs Ireland | T20 WC Super8 | OVAL | 15/06/09

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan should have sent one more hitter in to follow on the good work from the 1st two.

YK needs to get into gear quickly!

 

[hasanb]

thats a good over from mcallan...we'll have to be a little careful with him, RR comes down to 7.9

 

[t_kaay]

Almost wanted to see Razzaq next.. but it would be ideal if he comes in around the 15th over

agreed he is good in the death

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

trent is back

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 79/2 After 10 overs.

 

[Momo]

Not bad innings from a Bowler I suspect.

But his batting stance is not 'proper'.

 

[Lethal]

79-2 after 10 overs

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

He played his part admirably.

Others need to keep the score rate up.

Exactly - he more than played his part

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good ball by trent

 

[adilmomin]

kami will go for it now, after one out will be razzler, misbah, ...

 

[The Slogger]

One of these has to continue to play shots.

Who will it be?

Kamran Akmal ofcourse

Younis needs to carry the innings now, Others have to accelerate.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

hard luck single but 2 good balls

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

overthrow from Ireland - we pick up a single

 

[asian_rulez]

yeah pak still going good

 

[hasanb]

overthrow gives us a singles and gets us off a sequence of dot balls

 

[Lethal]

2 runs to Younus

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Younis Khan is off the mark with a single

 

[hasanb]

YK off the mark straightaway with a well placed 2

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444

[Geordie Ahmed]

4444444444444444444

Slower delivery and punished by YK to the legside

 

[Lethal]

Shot Younus.

Pulled for 4.

 

[Sparhawk]

YK didn't take long to get into his groove

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

younis waited for it well played

 

[hasanb]

slower ball easily spotted by YK and he just pulled the ball into the fence for 4

 

[slix10]

He played his part admirably.

Others need to keep the score rate up.

Yep.

In T20 I expect a batsman to last 4 overs or so with a SR of atleast 150.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

and now he picks up a single - YK moves onto 7 from 3 deliveries

 

[Momo]

Younis 4.

Great going Mashallah.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

deftly by kamran for 4444444444444444444444444444444

 

[The Slogger]

Kamran Akmal ! 4

[saqeeb90]

[Geordie Ahmed]

Yk sweeps it for a single - the score is ticking over nicely

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Another good shot from Akmal - gets 2 runs for it

 

[Sparhawk]

I cant believe this is the same Pakistani team i've become accustomed to. Pacing the innings perfectly so far.. 180 looks very much in reach

 

[Lethal]

2 to Akmal.

 

[slix10]

Pak is on track for 165+.

Let's do this.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

YK loves the sweep shot

 

[The Slogger]

Younis bhais sweep is so cool to watch

96/2 - 12 overs

 

[Lethal]

[Inswinging Yorker]

96 off 12 good over for ireland

 

[hasanb]

ooh akmal a bit lucky there, mcallan proving tricky to get away

 

[karachiite]

younis shudve let one of the others in

 

[Lethal]

Younus plays the sweep shot the best

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[Geordie Ahmed]

DAMN - Younis Khan is OUT

 

[Inswinger]

Younis Khan bowled.

 

[Sparhawk]

YK goes trying to push the run rate.. great to see intent from his though

 

[Lethal]

Younus clean bowled.

 

[saqeeb90]

out...............

 

[Momo]

If there is a wrestling tournament amongst cricketers, this left arm spinner will be hard to beat.

And he bowls Younus.

 

[hasanb]

YK gone...

 

[pak4life]

hope alam comes in next wishful thinking

 

[Phuzz]

not good younis has gone.. but we've got a really strong batting line up so i'm not concerned at all.

 

[The Slogger]

aww bad choice by younis, no room to slog that one, hes gone

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Younis Khan bowled by West

Pak 102-3 off 12.4 overs

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Misbah or Alam?

 

[Sparhawk]

Misbah should be next in

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Its Misbah to bat - need a good knock from him

 

[Lethal]

Misbah is the new batsman

 

[Couch Cricketer]

misbah good choice we need him in form

 

[hasanb]

oh god its misbah...hope hes awake today!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good over for irish only 6 and a wicket

 

[Lethal]

103-3 after 13 overs.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

misbah in

 

[sehsan]

Kami really batting well, thats how he should bat. Sometime he try to hit every ball. He is one of the batsman who should play good cricketing shots.
