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

[Lethal]

another 2 to Afridi.

Good running.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

2 runs to end the over - Afridi batting sensibly here

Pak 63-1 off 8 overs

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

14 off that over without doing anything stupid

 

[aamir]

Very good positive batting without much risk by Kamran and Afridi, this is what Malik, Misbah and Younis need to be doing as well.

 

[Inswinger]

63/1 after 8
Good start.

 

[hasanb]

well placed shot for another 2 very good over that!

 

[Lethal]

63-1 after 8 overs.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

10 an over from this point will take us to around 180 which would be canny

 

[Phuzz]

Afridi looks like he's back in form.

 

[Momo]

I was hoping for a clean 900 on this pitch

Me too. Very disappointing effort.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

2 runs - again smart and sensible running

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I have seldom seen a ;pakistani pair run like this.

 

[Lethal]

Good running.

Another 2 for Afridi.

Actually against NZ he batted sensibly and used his brain

 

[Afridi_Fan]

awesome fielding effort

 

[Lethal]

73-1 after 9 overs.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

this is how he bats in First class cricket nice to see to see him do similar in International cricket

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

excellent bit of fielding there

 

[hasanb]

full toss smacked but good fielding saves the four, 73/1 still a good over

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

I wish Afridi could always bat like this!

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 73-1 off 9 overs

Akmal 26*
Afridi 20*

 

[karachiite]

this has turned into a great start for us. Should be looking upwards of 170

 

[Lethal]

McCallan coming to bowl his off spin.

 

[sehsan]

glad to see how he is playing today. Good to have him in form, can play at the top order and razzi at the bottom.

 

[t_kaay]

good platform here and if razzaq fires later......

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444

Dangerous bowler on now... and Afridi hits him for 444444444 first ball

 

[Lethal]

Shot by Afridi.

Afridi one shot too many

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

afridiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii goesssssssssssssss crappppppppppppppppppppppp

 

[Inswinger]

Afridi is out after a good innings.

 

[Sparhawk]

Good cameo from Afridi we need to keep this momentum going now. No less than 8/over

 

[Lethal]

Afridi goes next ball.

 

[Momo]

Afridi Gone.
Well played.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

hope they send another hitter

 

[Phuzz]

Good innings by Afridi, and that was a good ball to get rid of him

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Afridi looking to go down the ground and finds the fielder

Still a good knock from him 24 off 13 balls

 

[hasanb]

ah shame that...still a good innings from afridi, hes got a little bit of batting form

 

[t_kaay]

well batted afridi he has set us up nicely......now to keep it up

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Younis Khan to bat now

 

[aamir]

Afridi gone, should have continued with his restrained batting, he was doing so well. Good knock anyways.

 

[karachiite]

why has younis come in???

 

[Lethal]

Younus Khan is the new batsman

 

[Couch Cricketer]

with the number of wickets we have we should score atleast 100 in the last 10

 

[Sparhawk]

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

 

[shabbu1]

nice little knock...given us a good base

 

[sehsan]

very good bowl by off spinner. Good cameo by Afridi

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not bad innings from a Bowler I suspect.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

great over for Ireland so far

 

[Momo]

Afridi gone, should have continued with his restrained batting, he was doing so well. Good knock anyways.

He played his part admirably.

Others need to keep the score rate up.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 79-2 off 10 overs

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good irish over 79 for 2 off 10

 

[The Slogger]

send Fawad Alam after younis please, then Razzaq to finish it off

 

[Lethal]

One of these has to continue to play shots.

Who will it be?

 

[MIG]

score updates pls...
