Pakistan vs Scotland, Warm Up ODI [26/6/06]

[nadeem]

21.5 Lyons to Mohammad Yousuf, 1 run, well I never … Inzamam called for a quick single and made it with something to spare. The fielders sneak accusing looks at each other as if that is something that should never happen. In fairness to Inzamam, he looks in good shape

) ) ) ) )

 

[sam]

OUT...

Rana, your prayers have been heard.

 

[HAFRIDI]

[ShowStopper]

Lyons to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, the pressure eased with a savage pull of a ball that was far too short to get Afridi off the mark

 

[Pakistani tigers]

take this seriously yaaross...afridi is not as important as a face saving win...as someone else wrote on this forum, cricket is about the only sport that we play well.

I really wish we could spend more money on developing our nation in other sports and science rather than spending it on our military! a nation of 140 million needs to be better in more sports than just cricket.

p.s. i do want afridi to hit a 30 ball 80 though

[samisback]

[Oxy]

Great - the rest of us can now join in this thread

 

[sehban]

pak 93/5 25 overs

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

He seems to be in poor form with the bat.. even for Ireland he didnt play all that at al !!

 

[HAFRIDI]

'A Team with all these great players, theyre always playing, travelling around, always fit and WE are giving them a game'

 

[HAFRIDI]

what ? what ? ?

Yes kick him out on the basis of one warm up, im with Nauman wherever he is!

 

[sam]

Really? when?

)

Its ok, Haf! There is always a next game.

 

[HAFRIDI]

4 runs..to who? i have no idea

 

[sam]

Moyo hits a 4.

 

[cornered paktiger]

relax guyz its just warm up game

it is actually an official ODI

 

[sam]

Moyo hits another 4.

 

[Bangla Tiger]

scotland can be a hell of a side at home...they beat us in an unofficial ODI in 2004 to draw the series 1-1...and of course WC 99 we were 24-5 batting first.

 

[ShowStopper]

Pakistan 109/5 (29.0 ov

 

[inzibhai]

who is this idiot doing commen on cricinfo?

he seems to find probs with everything a **** player does...what a moron...

his latest comments

27.6 Lyons to Abdul Razzaq, no run, cross-batted swish which was just what the situation didn’t demand. The 12th man immediately trots on with a selection of replacements as if the shot was the bat’s fault rather than the man holding it

he also had some issues with when moyo got hit ....get a life man..

 

[sam]

He isn't wrong with what he says, Inzibhai.

It was Razzaq's fault than his bat. )

 

[sehban]

whats the score?

 

[F16]

With MoYo and Razzak at the Crease Pak will definitely win this match but they could have done much better than this .

 

[veez]

who was that desi commentator?

 

[KA$H]

easy inzibhai - the cricinfo comms guy's a comedian

 

[sam]

112/5 in 30 overs.

 

[sam]

Misfield goes for 4.

Scotland paying back with the same coin. Hopefully it continues this way.

If only they could drop/ misfield Afridi's hit too...

 

[sehban]

128/5 33 overs

 

[sehban]

hope pak wins becuz if we lose i think so we will lose the no.3 spot

 

[inzibhai]

dont worry guys....have some confidence in DK...he is yet to come ....he will take us home ..

 

[Uzzy]

444444444444. 50 to Moyo!

 

[KA$H]

some sensible cricket from these 2 - exactly whats required

 

[Uzzy]

44444444444

 

[MIG]

Why play sensible when we can live on the edge?

 

[Uzzy]

Why play sensible when we can live on the edge?

Hate to say it but more often than not we end up losing the match

 

[KA$H]

Why play sensible when we can live on the edge?

i see what you're sayin - this way every1 gets a bit of battin practice yea?

 

[sam]

54 runs to win.

 

[sam]

Consecutive 4s by Moyo.

 

[sehban]

pak 154/5

 

[GQ]

No matter how much you criticize Razzaq, at times when you need him to play sensibly, regardless of personal achievements, he delivers. His bowling has suffered dramatically, yet he provides those crucial breakthroughs and although his batting style has changed a bit, he's still capable to hit the ball hard or block it to play safe.

His bowling nearly lost the game and now his batting is nearly winning the game. Massive contribution and from both sides.

 

[sehban]

these commentators dont tell the score at all
only talk about scotland cricket

 

[HAFRIDI]

[ZM]

[Uzzy]

I think Raz wrote an article on a finisher for Pakistan and he mentioned Razzaq, boy was he right!

 

[HAFRIDI]

pitch invasion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
big pakistani support in scotland

We are everywhere, son

 

[Easa]

Well played, Pakistan/

 

[HAFRIDI]

I think Raz wrote an article on a finisher for Pakistan and he mentioned Razzaq, boy was he right!

Yeah and what an article it was

 

[Raz]

I think Raz wrote an article on a finisher for Pakistan and he mentioned Razzaq, boy was he right!

More specifically I mentioned the requirement for Razzaq to contribute more during chases as a match finisher and today he did just that.

 

[Hash]

Well a comfortable victory in the end......not quite as comfortable as I would have liked but the important thing is more batsman have got time in the middle.

The seemed to be a bit of experimentation with the line up and that is good; if we can't experiment against Scotland then when the hell can we experiment?

As always, we will get better and better as the series progresses. Congratulations to Pakistan and sorry Scotland, but you just aint good enough.

 

[Uzzy]

And with that Moyo is the MOTM!

Funny statement by the comms. They reckon the England bowlers wont perform aswell as Hoffmann against Pakistan.
