[cricketkhan88]

I can't understand the reason why they played yousaf in place of inform asad shafique...........

 

[Sledger]

Can Hafeez win Pakistan a match?

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 4/106 | 19 Overs | Need 212 runs to win from 31 Overs

6 off the over!

 

[ZAK]

107/4 after 19 overs.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

a bit short pitched ball from botha and Hafeez hammered away for s

 

[iRfaN_LA]

:4 Hafeez cheetah.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Hafeez trying to make the openers position his own...

One of thefew positives from the series...

 

[Seen Sheen]

Dismissive pull by

 

[iRfaN_LA]

we have to keep the run rate up and not go in a hole.

 

[Friend786]

required rate touching 7 with 211 runs still to get , very difficult !

 

[t_kaay]

ramiz leaves the room.....expect a good partnership now

 

[Sledger]

Game is still alive - need these two to bat 20 overs at at least 5 an over.

 

[chui_kadoo]

2 to Akmal

 

[cricketpassion]

Good Running

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

2 to umar

 

[ZAK]

2 to Akmal.

 

[786warrior]

guys the bottom line remains - battles are won before the first shot is fired- when your own side/ management conspires to pick a weak team composed of gutless/ over the hill/ incompetent players - expect nothing less - yes we will win an occasional tussle but not the battle, and never the war!!!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Still to come:

Boom Boom Afridi
Bang bang Razzaq
Boom Boom Wahab

But we need a partnership..at least 70-80 runs.

 

[ZAK]

Leg bye.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

so much for the strong line up today........ Moyo and Yk gone cheaply today....

Alam is a sitting duck anyway... so that was expected

 

[chui_kadoo]

I can't understand the reason why they played yousaf in place of inform asad shafique...........

Maybe get him prepared for the test matches. Thats the only thing I can think of. Test match only days away

 

[Schickelgruber]

Collapsistan

 

[t_kaay]

well run

 

[ZAK]

1 to MH.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Commentators discussing Alam's footwork and they say he needs to work on it

At first These Commentators need to work on their common sense, Fawad plays the way he likes to. It works for him..

 

[Seen Sheen]

's stint again proving to be a disastrous one for us...

 

[chui_kadoo]

I can sense a run out soon

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Why is it always SA losing the game rather than PAK winning it? - according to the commentators.

 

[JibranAnsari]

these two needtoplay till 40th over

 

[ads101]

if it's any consolation these are the only two batsmen who are likely to score at a high enough run rate to keep the match alive before afridi and razzaq come in.

come on umar.

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

Rahul Oak: "I think Hafeez takes his role as 'bits-and-pieces' cricketer rather seriously. It's almost as if he thinks he is not supposed to score more than the odd 40. Someone go tell him that he can score more runs. Interesting to see how much he scores today." He's done well so far
cricinfo

 

[Sparhawk]

Run rate is still fine but we need a partnership... just to state the obvious

I have a feeling Afridi will fire today

 

[Shoaib356]

Collapsistan

lolz


sa on a role

 

[MRSN]

Well don Fawad alam

Shahzaib>>>>>>>Fawad

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez has been very impressive with bat and ball. Could be a contender for Man of the series

 

[NJamal]

112/4 after 20 overs

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 4/112 | 20 Overs | Hafeez 57* | Need 206 runs to win from 30 Overs

5 off the over!

 

[Friend786]

I can't understand the reason why they played yousaf in place of inform asad shafique...........

he is injured !

 

[JibranAnsari]

this slow ball would have been outa ground id bolwed to razzak

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Mike says nelsons on the board. he thinks, its unlucky for pak as well,but Pak passed the nelsons without any trouble though they are in deep trouble by losing 4 quick wickets.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Umar.

112/4 after 20 overs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

its game over for muhammad yousuf

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Depressing...

 

[ZAK]

1 more to MH.

 

[JibranAnsari]

yousuf should nt have taken his retirememnt back

 

[hashbb]

Afridi Please be the Asia Cup Afridi today come on its the last game!

 

[NJamal]

We need a 100 Partnership from these 2

 

[Seen Sheen]

Almost threw it away...

 

[chui_kadoo]

its game over for muhammad yousuf

he should never play ODI ever again. He just a rusty gate

 

[Shoaib356]

with only razzaq and afridi (who can barely bat) left gma eis all sa's to win........................................i see no hope for pakistan............both players who could anchor innings are out

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

's stint again proving to be a disastrous one for us...

he needs to be bald to open his brain to think rightly.. ) )

 

[Friend786]

should we take the batting power play ?

 

[Sledger]

Almost a soft disimssal. Please, please go on and make a hundred Hafeez, if he does it will be a close finish.

 

[JibranAnsari]

umar akmal totally out of form

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

1 to Umar akmal and 3 off the over 115/4 after 21overs

 

[S_K]

What kind of a shot was that from Hafeez? What was he trying to do?

 

[NJamal]

115/4 after 21 overs

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 4/115 | 21 Overs | Hafeez 58* | Need 203 runs to win from 29 Overs

3 off the over!

 

[ZAK]

Single to Umar.

115/4 after 21 overs.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

even if the RR goes upto 10... we need these 2 to be there till the 35th over

 

[hashbb]

yousuf should nt have taken his retirememnt back

had we he not taken the retirement back we wouldnt have won the England Test!

But he should retire from ODI's

 

[mhraja]

3 off Botha

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

I HOPE WE DONT START CURSING THE PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE ANSWER IS NOT WHOLESALE CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!

But identifying the improvement areas and then improving.............

 

[Sledger]

Is that Lion King music being played?

 

[t_kaay]

think they need to get after these spinners

 

[ZAK]

1 to Umar.

 

[NJamal]

Peterson into attack

 

[JibranAnsari]

umar akmal needs to grasp this opportunity

 

[iZeeshan]

If these two can take Pakistan to 200 around the 37th overish, we'll win

 

[Sparhawk]

should we take the batting power play ?

No way. Should wait until Afridi or Razzaq are at the crease or at least till we have 200+

 

[Friend786]

required now 7 !

 

[ZAK]

Single to Hafeez.

 

[NJamal]

WTH is Umar doing

 

[Afridirocks]

i thought that was plumb

 

[Desi]

Peterson looks like Obama

 

[cricketkhan88]

clear lbw not given.............

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Wicket Keeper was not apealing thats why its not Out mr. Mike and Mabangbawa ( freak )
