[Amjid Javed]

Pak 309/3

 

[ZAK]

2 to Misbah.

 

[chui_kadoo]

single off the last ball

 

[NJamal]

312/3

 

[Pak_Jazba]

People here asking for the win, what happens here if we lose 2-3 quick wickets and are exposed to the tail for the last 15?

 

[rarara01]

no one thinks Pakistan are going for it....yet we are scoring around 4 an over....could it be a trojan horse? are we remotely that smart?

 

[zulfiqar]

Misbah needs to continue rotating the strike if he's not going for the boundary... I'm pretty sure YK is going for the win

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 3/312 | 109 Overs | Younis 117*, Misbah 65* | Need 139 runs to win from 22 overs

8 off the over!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Misbah. 312/3.

 

[Phuzz]

Might as well try and go for it.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Rameez gonna be in any moment now. :vicky

 

[aqeelPK]

lol saffer commentators believe Pakistan have no chance to win this one.

 

[jattafridi]

140 off 132 balls

 

[rarara01]

can the umpire extend the day if there is a result possible?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Looking at this thread most ppers look confused if we are 'going for it' or not. Imagine what the players must be going through...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Seems like Pakistan are going after Botha and looking to see steyn off!

 

[Noork85]

A win would be a bonus

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

what a time for mohammad akram to arrive in the box...love et!!!!

 

[chui_kadoo]

M Akram is bak

 

[Phuzz]

140 off 132 balls

If only Razzaq was playing.

 

[zulfiqar]

People here asking for the win, what happens here if we lose 2-3 quick wickets and are exposed to the tail for the last 15?

People here asking for the win are asking for some intent... 6 RRR doesn't require you to be reckless

 

[aqeelPK]

Might as well try and go for it.

Not yet. They should continue batting like this for another 12 overs.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Keppler Wessels wants them to shake hands now and take the draw.)

 

[Obeid]

It's a simple T20 equation!

And if Smith puts the field back, then its a single every ball, which is basically 6 runs an over, which is the required rate. It's not like its at 8 or 9, we don't even need boundaries

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

he's getting tense )

 

[Phuzz]

Go for it I say. The pitch is still very good for later batsmen.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Smith wont do that. He knows even 10 overs are enough for a Pakistan collapse

 

[Blitz]

Okay, lets talk prespective.

22 overs left. 1 wicket.

Umar Akmal. Coule be out easily.

Adnan akmal. ) Steyn will get him in an over.

Then theres the tail.

What is wrong with you people? 1 wicket and SA will be faves again.

Exactly what Obeid said! Putting the field back will actually help us, as long as we keep the pressure on them now and keep looking to score...

 

[Obeid]

I just don't get why can't we make history for once in our lives (for the right reasons)

 

[ZAK]

This is Pakistan's 6th highest 4th innings total.

 

[zulfiqar]

Damnit Misbah... 3 dots, that won't help

 

[Blitz]

If we were on a 5 test match win streak, then I would be all up for it. Not now, I've been scarred for life by the collapses in the last year.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Okay, lets talk prespective.

22 overs left. 1 wicket.

My Word. People here are being irrational

 

[chui_kadoo]

5 wides

 

[Seen Sheen]

Keppler Wessels wants them to shake hands now and take the draw.)

And ten overs or so ago,he was hoping for a collapse..)

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

FOUR!!!!

Pakistan going for the win!!!!

 

[Blitz]

Steyn, 5 wides.

SPOT FIXING!

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

 

[Phuzz]

Misbah is just lame.

 

[NJamal]

What a wide by Steyn

 

[rarara01]

SA going for the WIN....oh NO!

 

[chui_kadoo]

[ZAK]

5 s

 

[MRSN]

spot fixing??

 

[rash]

Rameez gonna be in any moment now. :vicky

dont want manhoos till the match is over

 

[zulfiqar]

HAHAHA, 5 wides!!! But seriously, is asking Misbah to take a SINGLE TOO MUCH FOR HIM???

 

[KingKhanWC]

Down the legside should be given wides because of the match situation.

 

[chui_kadoo]

5 off the over

 

[Blitz]

By the way, we are still not stating the obvious. 60-80 of the last 10 is impossible. Negative fields and wide bowling!! This ain't ODIs.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

No.. We are not looking for a win anymore..

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 3/317 | 110 Overs | Younis 117*, Misbah 65* | Need 134 runs to win from 21 overs

5 off the over!

 

[rarara01]

CAN the umpire extend the day????

 

[Amjid Javed]

5 wides was a good gift!

 

[ZAK]

317/3.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

134 needed in 126 balls...

can get extra half hour in if we can get the result....both teams agreed to play in the lights....

 

[*sallu*]

CAN the umpire extend the day????

No.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Steyn wants us to win



WIDES

Steyn is trying to do a Nazir. :iamlegend

 

[Obeid]

I swear Misbah, you're gay

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

spot fixing??

Who assumed that as a 5 wide to be called as spot fixing???

 

[zulfiqar]

I seriously hope YK keeps strike for the majority of the remaining overs.. he needs to take a single on the last ball of every over

 

[hur rizvi]

Smith has set a Defensive field for YK

 

[ZAK]

Single to Younis.

 

[Blitz]

Misbah

 

[NJamal]

444444444444

 

[Phuzz]

Misbah the clown will always be a loser just like he was in the t20 2007 final

 

[aqeelPK]

 

[Schickelgruber]

Another 4... hmmm I think we are doing a Trojan horse here.

[Amjid Javed]

CAN the umpire extend the day????

Not on final day! Umpires will call Last hour shortly where teams can agree on a draw or a minimum of 15 overs/Hours play will take place.

On days 1-4 an extra half hour or 8 overs can be claimed.

 

[Seen Sheen]

FOUR...Sweeps well..

[WithLoveFromCanada]
