Hameed consistingly falling over, coming too much across. he nees to sort out this quickly...

 

[Hash]

Jacques Akmal

 

[Isolation]

Afridi ownes Kallis

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Hameed just looking if umpires are playing LBW or not.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 18/0 after 4 overs...

 

[smoothcriminal]

Afirdi's so lucky to be still there. He is playing with almost zero technique right now.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Afridi with good shot there 1 run.

 

[inzamam_1]

Afridi takes single after a wild swing

 

[junaid78]

Afirdi's so lucky to be still there. He is playing with almost zero technique right now.

whast new hehe

 

[12thMan]

Afirdi's so lucky to be still there. He is playing with almost zero technique right now.

that is the key

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Yasir could have been useful in the tests. Is he trying to impress the test selectors with his leaves?

 

[12thMan]

chokkkaaaa by Afridi to covers

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Afridi 4 over covers.

 

[Caved12]

Love him or hate him, but you can't ignore him.

 

[smoothcriminal]

I know, I can never ignore him. As much as I hate Afridi, he always has me on the edge of my seat.

 

[the_game]

Man, Hameed is really struggling. Wonder why he was being considered as the "savior" for our opening problems a day or two ago.

 

[Caved12]

28/0, when was the last time we saw an opening partnership of 28 without a loss

 

[NeVerMind]

pull shot from Hameed for 4! Should do his confidence good. It's understanble he will be nervous after coming back into the side after some time.

 

[12thMan]

Hameed a four to square leg
Pak 28-0

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Afridi playing the 'slog then single' game, good play. Sadly Yasirs playing the 'leave then block' game.

 

[Caved12]

believe it or not, afridi is playing sensible, I never thought I would say this.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Our batting back up is soooo pathetic we always revert to the third rate no hopers like Hameed, Nazir, Butt, Hafeez, Farhat again and again. It is so depressing. That Khalid Latif is no better his foot movement is worse than the aforemtioned quads.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Afridi has fielders all on edge of circle.

 

[Caved12]

another 6 by afridi, I am loving every single second of it.

 

[xbox]

4 and then 6...lets say if he takes a single here

 

[12thMan]

six by afridi

 

[inzamam_1]

Waqar " I have a feeling ... (ball goes for 4) that was my feeling" LOL

 

[Amjid Javed]

Afridi going nuts on polly here!

 

[12thMan]

inside edge goes to four
Pak 42-0

 

[xbox]

comeon afrid few singles here

 

[xbox]

dumb

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Opening combination problem sorted...we can all go home now!

 

[12thMan]

Afridi out

 

[Caved12]

Afridi has done his job, no complains

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Waqar " I have a feeling ... (ball goes for 4) that was my feeling" LOL

Classic Waqar.

 

[Shahid A]

better thn an opener going for 0 good entertainment aswell well done afridi

 

[Caved12]

look how easy the target looks from here, only because of afridi

 

[Amjid Javed]

Afridi has gone but his done his job! shabash!

 

[pak4life]

well done beasty boy. it was better then being 15 for 3

 

[xbox]

Yassir Hameed is falling too much

 

[Amjid Javed]

Passenger Khan in now...

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Afridi took the pitch out of the equation with his knock.

 

[12thMan]

Zaheer complaining about afridi batting maybe

 

[Amir]

Passenger Khan in now...

With the strike rate Hameed is playing at......who is driving the car if they are both passengers?

But great job Afridi, he did his job. I just wish he didn't have to get out to Pollock. He gets so happy when hegets a wicket and does that dumb fist clench.....even after he got demolished 4-6-4 in his over.

 

[Caved12]

somebody talked about technique earlier, no technique questions should be asked for afridi, that's just the way he plays, but speaking of technique, what kind of technique is yasir hameed using?

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

At least Pollock didn't bowl 3 or 4 maidens looking at Hameed and the others before him this would have happened and the pressure would have built up. Now Younis khan can get run out for a duck as he likes to build pressure.

 

[darkmoon459]

yasir hamead sux like all other openers we have .

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 43/1 after 8

 

[161]

yasir hameed undoing afridi's good work....

he looks quite rusty.

 

[Lightning]

WTH happened to Hameed. I don't remember him falling over this much before..? He's always been an offside player but he looks awful right now! Top order bat continuously falling over.

 

[kablooee87]

what a typical afridi innings. It had all the ingredients.

1. Crowd going beserk
2. Dropped catch
3 trying to play sensibly but beastliness takes over
4 over as quick as it started

 

[Caved12]

yasir hamead sux like all other openers we have .

ohh well, atleast he has a batting average of 39, lol
