Pakistan vs New Zealand | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | 3/11/09 | Pak Innings

[Afridi_Fan]

Bouncer to start.

 

[Poison]

Bouncer to start.

Bond doesn't know that if you put the first ball on the stumps Butt will unchangedly give his wicket away.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Stability.

A stable Butt Hmmm..................

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Would you believe it, the cable is gone.

 

[ace_allrounder]

Shuru ho gaya hai! Shuru ho gaya hai!

SHHH!

 

[Digital]

Gone salman buttttt

 

[IAJ]

Butt gone! ANDE pe!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt ) )

 

[Syndrome]

lol butt sahab ne aukaat dikhaadi

 

[kamranO]

butt gone

 

[DonJee]

hez gone for a duck....bloody hliarious!!!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

The Stable Butt gone ...............

 

[Sheikh]

Haha, Butt's feet going nowhere, just dangling the bat there. Too easy.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

I saw this coming, keep on picking that worthless opener...

 

[Poison]

A stable Butt Hmmm..................

Ok maybe I was wrong.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And the look on face was priceless. )

 

[Paradox]

Yes, and I would like to repeat the question:

WHY HAS SALMAN BUTT BEEN SELECTED?!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Looking forward to see Farhat in the 2nd ODI....

 

[Usman Chadda]

That is one heck of a comeback from Salman Butt

 

[Digital]

Poor shot errrrrrrrrrrrrrr..............

 

[kamranO]

This salman butt crap surely for this innings

 

[ace_allrounder]

He's GONE!

GREAT COMEBACK BY SALMAN BUTT!


issed: issed: issed:

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

How can we expect YK to perform when the openers keep failing!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now dont tell we will miss here

 

[shabbu1]

Somehow....that was all too predictable.

 

[Isolation]

cant help but laugh

 

[PapaBear]

What Khalid bowll...spin or medium pace.??

Off Break

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wicket maiden.

 

[MIG]

Butt said that he will continue doing what he has been doing ...

 

[Digital]

Wicket maiden ...

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

It would have an a huge investment if Azhar Ali was given a chance in the opening dept... at worst he would have been gone first ball just like Butt today......senseless selection for opening ...... I don't know when we are going to try our young openers...(May be when the all the young performing openers are old enough )

 

[ahmed16]

Malik back for 2nd odi, looking forward to Akmal senior opening tomorrow...lets see what that laloo Latif is made of.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

cant help but laugh

You definately are not alone. )

 

[dhump]

As expected from salman butt.

 

[pak4life]

what techinque was that! The guy is a failure seriously what were the selectors thinking.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistani fans wanted a regular, stable opening pair despite us getting decent starts in the CT. This is what you get when you get too greedy

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Tim Southee

 

[Oxy]

What or who the hell are 'Cool & Cup'??

 

[IAJ]

These idiots need to play like Sehwag, they don't have the skills to block/stop the ball. Had Butt been agressive we would have two boundaires by now, but now he has put preassure on younis.

 

[Digital]

Butt said that he will continue doing what he has been doing ...

)

 

[Inswinger]

One thing is for sure Salman has played his last match of this series. The look on Inti and YK's face said it all.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Now dont tell we will miss here

why not YK himself come as opener as he is our virtual opener today also.... and by the way we miss Azhar Ali today...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wow man, isn't looking Kewl.

 

[Poison]

Pakistani fans wanted a regular, stable opening pair despite us getting decent starts in the CT. This is what you get when you get too greedy

Maybe he shouldn't take strike in the first over. I don't know if the occasion gets to him or something but he seemingly is extremely vulnerable in the first over.

 

[cricketpassion]

Now dont tell we will miss here

I am aready missing him .He would have servived longer than buttt sab

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt said that he will continue doing what he has been doing ...

) )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

There is some movement, which is not a surprise.

 

[Oxy]

Wow man, isn't looking Kewl.

His feet or him?

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

what techinque was that! The guy is a failure seriously what were the selectors thinking.

Imran Nazir was alot better than Butt....Infact Imran would have given us a flying start....

 

[Oxy]

Southee Arabia? Dear me Rameez.....

 

[MIG]

In all this excitement, we should not forget that Butts English is very good.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

His feet or him?

How about both?

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

Butt sticking to his routine..

 

[Inswinger]

In all this excitement, we should not forget that Butts English is very good.

Future captain...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I hope Dasti is watching and Geo contact him after the game.

 

[rash]

Why was butt selected, useless guy should b kicked out, nazir would have scored few runs

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Well....Salman Butt can only get selected for the next ODI only if Pakistan wins today..otherwise he is gone for good.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

In all this excitement, we should not forget that Butts English is very good.

Thats what we need to keep in mind for sure.

 

[Inswinger]

Afridi's got some serious athlete's foot. Keeps rubbing.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Why was butt selected, useless guy should b kicked out, nazir would have scored few runs

and that too at a fast pace...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why was butt selected, useless guy should b kicked out, nazir would have scored few runs

I dont think he is even in ODI squad.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Maybe he shouldn't take strike in the first over. I don't know if the occasion gets to him or something but he seemingly is extremely vulnerable in the first over.

I think Butt should retire until he can sort out his mentality. He is an absolute wreck when he goes out there to bat. No doubt the guy can be classy, but you have to have the right attitude to succeed in international cricket

 

[IAJ]

Rameez was sleeping during the pitch report. There is grass on the wicket and ofcourse the ball will seam around in the beginning.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

2 maidens to start the innings and with the loss of one wicket.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

I think for the long term YK should be opening for us or we may give a young opener a chance along with Khalid Latif (by the he is also young one)

 

[sehban]

0/1 after 2
another struggling start by our batsmen
usually in Abu Dhabi 240 is very competitive, we shud just look for that

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Imran Nazir was alot better than Butt....Infact Imran would have given us a flying start....

OH Please .................. another tried and tested failure.

 

[Gulf of Gold]

younis gone

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Haha Butt is such a joker - he continues to do what he does best

Anyhow lets hope Latif-YK can recover this situation

 

[Inswinger]

2 maidens to start off. No wonder people support Nazir, even with all his issues.

 

[IAJ]

Captain is also gone! wow what a start!

 

[Da Best]

This is just brilliant. Butt is one of a kind. Sorta would have been surprised if he actually scored some runs today.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

chalo, we are slow starters

 

[sehban]

younis gone also

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ouch!

Pakistan 0/2 after 2.1 overs. YK gone chasing a wide delivery

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

younis gone

Perhaps i spoke too soon

Malik will save the day

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Kuptan is gone. Giving his 200%

 

[Inswinger]

Nice job YK. Another true captain's knock.

 

[shabbu1]

Great start!!! 0/2

 

[hashman]

wow 0-2 after 2
