[The Chaudrey]

[Oxy]

Whose side are you on

 

[Oxy]

208 - 6

14 balls left

 

[Pathan007]

no free hit bcz waist height

 

[The Chaudrey]

one big over at this stage (i.e. 15-20 runs) would give us an enormous boost

 

[Sheikh]

Arey Rehman, you fortunate fella you!

 

[inzibhai]

good over for pakistan......nice.....50 partnership....great..

 

[Oxy]

OUtside edge - over the keeper! 4!

212-6

Good over

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Very very very good over. Just what we needed. A bit of luck.

 

[Sheikh]

Theres the big over! Lets get to 230 now!

 

[Pathan007]

Whose side are you on

they were hoping for rehman to get out so i joined in the bandwagon.

 

[inzibhai]

got 18 in this....can we get another 20 runs in last two overs?

 

[Oxy]

BIg push for last 2 overs.

20+ and I'll be satisfied all things considered

 

[saffer]

macth not gone at all..S.A have been batting terribly lately...

 

[The Chaudrey]

12 off 4 balls is a good start to this over

 

[Sparhawk]

18 off the over. Game definitely on.

 

[Oxy]

214-6 off 48 overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good over 18 runs from it, we need another 2 like that!

 

[saffer]

wow....how lucky !

 

[Oxy]

Dot ball. Was virtually straight - KAmi moved too far outside leg!

 

[Oxy]

single for Kami

215-6

10 left

 

[inzibhai]

how about AR gets to his 50 in next 10 balls....GO AR...

 

[Pathan007]

now Dentonic boy missing. stay in the crease man. don't move

 

[The Chaudrey]

one big over at this stage (i.e. 15-20 runs) would give us an enormous boost

Well, 18 off that over gives us exactly what we needed at this stage.

 

[Lightning]

Hahaha excellent from Rehman. Afridi would have been proud!

 

[Amjid Javed]

morkel starts penlutimate over well with 2 yorkers..

 

[Oxy]

Boundary for REhaman - great placement!!

219-6

9 balls left

 

[inzibhai]

4444444444444444 by Rehman.... no wonder Danish can not make it into odi ahead of this guy

 

[Sheikh]

Who needs Razzler when you have Rehman!

The commies sound like they wanna cut themselves!

 

[Pathan007]

230 should be OK.

 

[Oxy]

REhman bowled by Morkel

219-7

8 balls left

 

[inzibhai]

bowled him.....here comes Rao....i can see a couple of huge six's coming fromh is bat....

well played rehman

 

[Sheikh]

Good innings by Rehman and the end of a valuable partnership!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good yank pull shot from rehman for 4!

 

[Lightning]

nice seam position from Morkel.

 

[The Chaudrey]

Just realised how good this partnership has been for us - 60 off 65 balls. Or is this indicating that anyone can bat on this pitch?

 

[Oxy]

Excellent little knock by REhman. Good find for PAk

 

[Pathan007]

stupid. y move?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well batted Rehman!

 

[Oxy]

RAW comes in to bat

 

[Pathan007]

Excellent little knock by REhman. Good find for PAk

that was total luck.

 

[Sheikh]

I may have gone with gul instead of rao.

 

[Sparhawk]

He did his job, and then some. Rao is the next man in.. wow his average has really gone down.

 

[Oxy]

that was total luck.

WOuld you have prefered a more skillful 4 off 2 balls?

 

[Pathan007]

Just realised how good this partnership has been for us - 60 off 65 balls. Or is this indicating that anyone can bat on this pitch?

it's a belter bro. even 300 would've been ez to chase. this score is nothing.

 

[Oxy]

NIce shot by Kami -only 1

221-7

Last over to begin...

 

[saffer]

I think the pitch is good for batting .......but S.A will feel big pressure being 2-1 down and having to chase after their recent batting....will be interesting I think..

 

[Sheikh]

it's a belter bro. even 300 would've been ez to chase. this score is nothing.

Then turn off yout t.v and go do something else.

 

[Lightning]

that was total luck.

yep, edges flying all over the place.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 221/7 and 6 balls to go...

230-35 please

 

[Oxy]

Final Over to be bowled by Botha

 

[Sheikh]

Take 20 off this over. Theres 6 from 1.

 

[Oxy]

1st ball goes for SIX!

227-7

 

[Pathan007]

Then turn off yout t.v and go do something else.

i'll after this over,go to sleep.

 

[Oxy]

And KAmi does an Afridi - OUT.

227-8

4 balls left

 

[The Chaudrey]

221-7 : Another 15-20 off this over will be another boost for us

 

[Sparhawk]

That was an axellent six!

Out now.. he did his job as well 28 (32) just what we needed.

 

[Sheikh]

Ooooh, that could have gone again. Instead Akmal top edges to short third. Good innings. We need a few more from the last 4 balls.

 

[Oxy]

Gul can hit it.

And then sometimes (usually - he cant)

 

[Sheikh]

i'll after this over,go to sleep.

Sweet dreams, or nightmares...whatever gets you off.

 

[Oxy]

228-8

3 balls left

 

[Pathan007]

should've been a six. kami, u r useless.

 

[Oxy]

229-8

2 balls left

 

[Sheikh]

We need 10 from the last 2.

 

[Sparhawk]

I think the pitch is good for batting .......but S.A will feel big pressure being 2-1 down and having to chase after their recent batting....will be interesting I think..

Plus they will be playing under lights. The pitch isnt too bad but its difficult to score off and its getting turn.. which is of course a big plus for pakistan.

 

[Pathan007]

we r still 40runs short of a modest total. let c if asif will justify his inclusion.

 

[Oxy]

Out!

229-9

 

[Sheikh]

Atleast it's 230 minimum now. Come on Botha, bowl a no-ball.
