afridi

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Just 1 run coming off that over and we lost a wicket

[hasanb]

RR not good at all

 

[Sparhawk]

Is that Butt wearing an Akmal mask?

 

[Lethal]

I noticed with Shazaib that he was not playing a shot in anger. He was just trying to loft or clear the in field without much power. Just trying to time. But plenty of talent/potential.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

west in

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Afridi is on strike and will be facing Regan West

 

[KA$H]

Shahzaib 23 off 18 - good knock from him

and why is that a good knock

are we satisfied when our openers only last 5 overs? come on -

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 38/1 after 6 overs.

Pakistan needs to get atleast 160 here!

Ofcourse we are not satisfied BUT when you are used to Salman Butt opening the batting then this is a good knock

Afridi was aiming for Lords here mistimes for one.

 

[hasanb]

RR nudges upto 7 an over with a long batting line up to come

[Inswinger]

Superbly struck by Afridi.

 

[hasanb]

slower ball spotted and smashed for 4!

 

[saqeeb90]

run rate is not good enough............
i think they should get at least 200 and plus in order to be on safe side..

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good single

 

[Afridi_Fan]

One more, good running by this pair.

 

[Momo]

Afridi takes over from where Shahzaib left.

very good running this!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

4444444444444444444444444444444444444444 good shot

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

What are we aiming for here? I'd be happy with 160+ from this position

I would be dissapointed with anything less than 160 tho i reckon 130 + will win it for us BUT need to think about the RR

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sweeps for 444444444444444444444444

Nice shot from Akmal - scooped it

 

[MIG]

run rate is not good enough............
i think they should get at least 200 and plus in order to be on safe side..

I was hoping for a clean 900 on this pitch

 

[karachiite]

these 2 running well here but akmals running is still leaving me nervous

 

[Afridi_Fan]
