Pakistan vs South Africa | Lahore | 2nd ODI | 20/10/07 | Pak Inns

[Bailan]

Hameed is ten times the batsmen Nazir ever will be.

problem is that hameed still makes someone like Akash Chopra look like a batting god, and thats not saying much, any ways ...

[the true passionist]

he isn't playing

that doesn't mean that we have got rid off him. He will be back in a couple games since Akmal will fail as opener.

 

[Plasma]

well folks the pitch is tough for batting(Kamran's dismissal being the prime example) so lets not be too pessimistic(at least for now)

who the hell told shoaib to bat first?

 

[tauseefm]

some one should bomb PCB ,get ride of all the idiots and start all over.

half of the problems will be solved if we hang all the curators. if they stop making useless pitches, we wouldn't have useless and technical faulty batsmen

 

[inzibhai]

wow 2 50's in 20 innings...that is some great stuff from the greatest opener pak ever produce....

 

[Plasma]

two 4s by younus

 

[darkmoon459]

2 boundries in a row from YK,

 

[inzibhai]

ok guys here is the deal.....give me 20 matches and if i dont ave better than 20 throw me in jail for the rest of my life......

 

[inzibhai]

who the hell told shoaib to bat first?



haha we can't bat first, cant bat last....where should we bat? maybe find a place somewhere in the middle....

please someone tell mushy to stop starting and ending every sentence with defi...please..

 

[tauseefm]

Let the wrist slitting commence - get out those sharp knives and go to town!

leave ur fone number in case we are short of blade )

 

[the true passionist]

who the hell told shoaib to bat first?

the pitch isn't going to get any better. It is going to get worse with time and hopefully the spinners will come into play if Pakistan can post a competitive total.

 

[darkmoon459]

ok guys here is the deal.....give me 20 matches and if i dont ave better than 20 throw me in jail for the rest of my life......

free room and board ,nice move Inzibhai

 

[tauseefm]

who the hell told shoaib to bat first?

please someone tell mushy to stop starting and ending every sentence with defi...please..

yaar, atleast he better then "I must say"

 

[Bailan]

last 20 innings from Hameed and now you think, why is Nazir even in the team, that is not to say that hameed should be let back in.

[UJ]

he isn't playing

Get him out of the squad too, he may be giving batting tips to the other batsmen.

 

[Easa]

So your happy with the outcome of the match so far

Well of course not but I don't start 'drop so and so' after 10 overs or completely lose hope and then backtrack later when we are in a good situation.

 

[inzibhai]

yaar, atleast he better then "I must say"



thats like comp Imran Nazir and Mo Hafeez....they both suck big time...

 

[Plasma]

cracking 4 by Moyo

 

[darkmoon459]

Beauty of a cover drive fr 4 from MoYo.

 

[inzibhai]

another nice shot by moyo for 4....

[the true passionist]

Yousuf getting back into some serious form for India...

 

[inzibhai]

another nice shot by MOYO for 4...

and now by MYK...nice

 

[Bobaran]

Yousuf is starting to hit. If both of these guys can hang around, we can still post a decent total.

42/2
RR: 3.54

 

[Bailan]

Another Four from Younis

 

[darkmoon459]

this time a beauty by YK for 4.

 

[iafzal]

YK an MY are starting to play some positive cricket. once the ball gets a little soft it will be hard to hit as the ball is not coming on the bat

 

[Bailan]

1 from Pollock's over

 

[Easa]

good partnership this one..

Langeveldt into the attack.

 

[the true passionist]

Pakistan can post a decent total if these can stay together a the crease till the 25 over mark.

 

[Bailan]

47/2

 

[FAM]

50 up!

 

[darkmoon459]

Have you all notice that the slower the bowler hard to score runs ,look at aloo palak and langarfelt.

 

[Indiafan]

Let the wrist slitting commence - get out those sharp knives and go to town!

yaar fans have a right to be dis-satisfied with the opening partnerships, its going on long enough. i dont think anyone has given up on the match yet.

 

[the true passionist]

I hope we can exploit morkel..he is not the greatest of threats.

 

[161]

does the pitch still look that bad ?

 

[Bailan]

^ nope, has settled well since Akmal fell

 

[darkmoon459]

Mushys "definatily" and Zaheers "i must say" driving me nuts .

 

[Haris]

We need a patnership from yousuf younis of minimum 100 runs.

 

[inzibhai]

haha Zaheer Abbas said "Yousuf is playing well and Waqar Younis is playing well" didn't know Waq made a come back for pakistan..

 

[tauseefm]

Zaheer abas can't even speak proper english.. how come he got this contract?

 

[Caved12]

Zaheer just said that yousuf and waqar yunus are playing very well, lol.

 

[Pathan007]

does the pitch still look that bad ?

u know like. definitely! na pitch looks absolute belter, u know like. nothing wrong, u know like. no signs, u know like. definitely

 

[Bailan]

Younis getting into that ... lets throw my wicket away now

 

[tauseefm]

Zaheer just said that yousuf and waqar yunus are playing very well, lol.

hahaha yup i have noticed too but ignored it cuz i have been listing to his BS since this series started

 

[the true passionist]

haha Zaheer Abbas said "Yousuf is playing well and Waqar Younis is playing well" didn't know Waq made a come back for pakistan..

this is not the first time he has reffered to Younis as Waqar Younis. He did that in tests as well. How can he not get fired for such repeatedly petty mistakes?

 

[Indiafan]

Mushys "definatily" and Zaheers "i must say" driving me nuts .

They arfe commentating together

 

[inzibhai]

"this is not the first time he has reffered to Younis as Waqar Younis. He did that in tests as well. How can he not get fired for such repeatedly petty mistakes?
"


and he dont even apologize for it....the guy sitting next to him is the biggest loser of all ....he can't even correct this idiot..

 

[tauseefm]

They arfe commentating together

i hope not

 

[inzibhai]

good running between the wickets by the 2 Y's

 

[the true passionist]

Highest score from Younis since the 2nd ODI in SAF and second highest since PAK's tour of ENG.

 

[inzibhai]

is zaheer able to tell the diff between the flick and shot?

 

[FAM]

50 runs partnership!

 

[darkmoon459]

They arfe commentating together

I wish they were commentating together that way we have to listen to their BS for only a session at a time ,

 

[Plasma]

are we in for a good match here??

 

[Plasma]

haha i love the drinks wagon!! superb

 

[inzibhai]

I wish they were commentating together that way we have to listen to their BS for only a session at a time


and maybe Waq bhai join them as the 3rd man...

 

[the true passionist]

run rate last 5 overs : 3.6

Pakistan should start scoring at 4.5-5 an over from here.

 

[Plasma]

rao has a better batting average then most if not all our openers... or it might have been amistake yesterday. aver of over 30....

 

[darkmoon459]

are we in for a good match here??

only if these 2 can bat till the 40th over and manage to score 5 an over ,and then lahti bazi from Mali,afridi and sohail in the last 10 0ver and we will then have a good match on our hands,

 

[inzibhai]

what nonsense is zaheer talking about?

 

[darkmoon459]

what nonsense is zaheer talking about?

swear to god my 82 years old Grandma with no formal education speaks better english and makes more sense then Zaheer a.k.a "I must say".

 

[Plasma]

both batsmen feeling reasonably comfortable now.

 

[iafzal]

No, MY has a brain freeze as usual and get YK runout

 

[inzibhai]

poor running.....MYK gone...

 

[Plasma]

lahori girls are so hot...

 

[mamoo gogo]

Younis Khan run out.

 

[the true passionist]

terrible running...straight to the fielder.

 

[lakha84]

finally malik comes b-4 misbah thank god

 

[Saj]

Yousuf sold YK down the river for that one.

Did his usual few steps and then stopped

 

[darkmoon459]

8000 ODI runs for MOYO and he celebrates by getting YK run out.

 

[the true passionist]

these two have to bat together till the 30 over mark.

 

[Indiafan]

is zaheer able to tell the diff between the flick and shot?

wll flick is a shot you know

 

[inzibhai]

guys chill....i can see SA choke in this crucial 2nd odi....

 

[inzibhai]

Good shot, middle of the bat and the comments stop right there from Zaheer, i must say..

 

[FAM]

rao has a better batting average then most if not all our openers... or it might have been amistake yesterday. aver of over 30....

No, he's been not out in most of his innings, that's why. Before the world cup he was averaging in 70s. Lol. His average will be lower in todays match.

 

[Plasma]

Mr I must Say is forcing me to swear... fuc* stop restating every freaking thing that a fuc*ing two year old will notice.

 

[inzibhai]

Hey guys congrats...the wish has been granted....Mushy and Wicky bhai in the box now....
