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

[hasanb]

7 overs to go

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 103-3 off 13 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan should get 160-70 from here if Misbah is awake!

 

[cricwiz]

Pakistan with loss of 3 wickets is still going good & in a comfortable position...

I hope the next batsmen coming up doesnt chew up balls, and go for their shots...

 

[sehsan]

good move to have misbah in when there are some overs left

 

[adilmomin]

it felt like we bashed the ball around everywhere, but its only 103 in 13

 

[Zaad]

we need to score 70+ in the last 7 overs!

 

[adilmomin]

maybe im a little greedy kami gotta go on it now

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

We still have Razzaq to come so we can still get a big total aslong as Misbah/Alam set it up nicely for a late Razzaq charge

 

[Lethal]

2 to Akmal.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Run rate is slowing down here

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 109-3 off 14 overs

36 deliveries left

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

irish pulling it back here only 6 off that over

 

[slix10]

Misbah- need atleast 3 good overs from him.

 

[Lethal]

109-3 after 14 overs.

Need some boundaries.

 

[hasanb]

the spinners are tying us down a little bit, however we're not getting totally stuck either...keeping things going even when wickets fall.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now what we dont want is slowing down.

 

[Lethal]

3 to Akmal. Edgy shot.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Oooooh - got lucky there

Went in the air BUT missed the fielder - got 3 runs for it

 

[hasanb]

just over the fielders head and gets 3 runs for it.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

mishit for 3

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan should be putting foot down here still 7 wickets in hand!

 

[Rana]

180 is a must!

 

[Momo]

The pehelwaan is not a bad bowler.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good bowling from West here

 

[Lethal]

What! Was that a leave shot from Misbah?

 

[Inswinger]

We really can;t aford dot balls right now.

 

[Rana]

Kamran has played a one day innings so far!

 

[hasanb]

im worried abuot misbahs attitude here so far

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Akmal-Misbah need to hurry things up - not many deliveries remaining BUT we have wickets in hand

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

What! Was that a leave shot from Misbah?

It was Akmal i think

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

only 6 off this over

 

[Lethal]

Pakistan seriously need to hit boundaries otherwise too much pressure towards the end.

 

[cricketkashmir]

They should go for their shots now..

 

[Rana]

why is there no aggressive approach?

 

[The Slogger]

116/3

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

only 7 off this over pak needs to press the gas

 

[Inswinger]

We can;t afford these 7 run overs.

 

[hasanb]

commentators saying this pitch looks a bit more spin friendly, which may be good news for our spinners in the 2nd innings!

 

[The Slogger]

They will go for it now, especially akmal.

 

[Saj]

no idea what Misbah is doing out there. Is he playing a test match ??

 

[Rana]

this is riddiculous!

 

[Lethal]

116-3 after 15 overs.

These two need to start playing some shots now. With A.Razzaq, S.Malik and Fawad waiting in the wings.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Pakistan seriously need to hit boundaries otherwise too much pressure towards the end.

simple 2s can do it too

 

[Momo]

5 overs to go. 116.

Go for it guys.

 

[slix10]

They need to start thrashing the ball for 6's right about now...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 116-3 off 15 overs

Need to go for 12 an over

 

[hasanb]

5 overs to go and 7 wickets in hand, a good platform

 

[Rana]

pakistan have played every match in odi fashion so far!

 

[karachiite]

this slow batting is gonna trouble us later in the tournament

 

[cricketkashmir]

50 for akmal.well played

 

[The Slogger]

well played Akmal, 50 off 46

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

50 for kamran good knock

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Akmal gets his 50 off 46 deliveries

Canny knock BUT needs to hurry up

 

[hasanb]

well played akmal, great 50!

 

[Lethal]

Cusack back on.

50 for Akmal. Well played. Needs to play some shots now.

 

[imrank_88]

pakistan have played every match in odi fashion so far!

we are practicing for the world cup next year we look in good touch!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

akmal 50

 

[Sparhawk]

Time to use the long handle

Akmal hasn't been great today i have to say. 50(46*) is about 10 deliveries too slow

 

[Momo]

Kami 50. Backbone innings. Well done.

Now throw the sink.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I have to say pakistans middle over approach all tourney has been poor!

 

[Inswinger]

Now let 'em rip!!!

 

[adilmomin]

with the drinks comes the message...

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good 2

 

[slix10]

116-3 after 15 overs.

These two need to start playing some shots now. With A.Razzaq, S.Malik and Fawad waiting in the wings.

No one likes to get out for the team

 

[junoon]

We must try to beat Ireland by atleast 50 runs

otherwise our NRR would not be good enough

 

[Zaad]

we do need more six - Wasim

now need to score fast

misbah needs to stop playing ODI here

 

[pun500]

this is v slow batting if pak wants to win this cup they need to fix up the middle order

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Misbah needs to hurry up or get out - nudging for singles is pointless

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

good running for 2

 

[Lethal]

2 to Misbah but tuck tuck is not good Misbah. Play some shots.

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for Kami but pretty slow as he played out a lot of dot balls!

 

[saqeeb90]

50 for kamran akmal..
what is predicted score?
170 for me..

 

[hasanb]

these quick 2's and 3's are equally as important as the boundaries

 

[Rana]

well done!

 

[Sparhawk]

Misbah's lost his mojo

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Misbah is looking lost out there - might aswell go for the shots

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

Misbah needs to hurry up or get out - nudging for singles is pointless

misbah is playing himself in

 

[Rana]

Whers the sixes man!

 

[cricketkashmir]

What are they doing now? They are just trying to rotate the strike. ome on guys we have Razzler to come.. four finally by Akmal
