Match to start in 9 minutes

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Pakistan have won the toss, and will BAT First!!!

Yeah!!

 

[Straight Bat]

jayasuria, malinga and amanersiginadha are out, warpura fernando and perera are in.


JAYASURIA WAS THE CAPTAIN OF MY FANTASY, NO!!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Pakistan team is unchanged

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Why is Jaya out?

 

[DM]

Yusss...batting first is best

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

KING KING KABABIII

lol I love that ad

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Is DM expecting Afridi to get a promotion of some sort up the order?

 

[Rob H]

Edited my fantasy team accordingly. Jayasuria, Tharanga & Malinga out with Gul, Razzzq & Nazir in. Hoping for another Afridi special.

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Match to begin now

Salman Butt and Imran Nazir walking out!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

)

Rob, this is probably the day where Afridi makes 10 off 6

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

If Nazir and Afridi klicks then I think Pak can make 300+ runs.

 

[Rob H]

Yusss...batting first is best

if you add an A to best you get "beast" too

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

VVaqars commentating!!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

If Nazir and Afridi klicks then I think Pak can make 300+ runs.

ifs and buts!!!

 

[Rob H]

Rob, this is probably the day where Afridi makes 10 off 6

I know, it's sods law with Afridi which is always the problem.

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Ok, I can see SL doing worst tonight with their batting

No Jayasuriya, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

 

[Straight Bat]

king king kebab )

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Salman Butt 4 runs away from 1,000 runs in ODI Cricket!

 

[Straight Bat]

lanka walking out..

 

[DM]

Is DM expecting Afridi to get a promotion of some sort up the order?

I don't mind his current position away from the new ball, but I also don't mind him coming as early as possible due to the fact that it mathematically increases the chances of him burying the ODI score record by a greater factor

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Why Shastri?

IMO Hes not a very competent umpire, nor is Tiffin

We might get screwed over tonight...

 

[DM]

if you add an A to best you get "beast" too

I like your style

 

[JammydodgA]

Rob, this is probably the day where Afridi makes 10 off 6

If he can get into double figs 2day, I will be impressed. It will mean his consistency is improving Praying for another onslaught tho

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Bensons the only competent umpire in the COUNTRY?!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Lets play!

 

[Straight Bat]

perera is going to be opening.

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

No ball first bal!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Pakistan 1-0 in 0.0 overs

This run rate is brilliant

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

cmon Butt, hit some aggressive shots

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

WIDE!!

Very wide!!

 

[Salman]

my stream seems about 5 minutes slow : (

 

[Straight Bat]

Good start

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Now we've got a very good run rate, 12 runs an over

Now we should get 600 with this rate

 

[Straight Bat]

same here salman, I've just seen the first ball

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

444444444444

 

[MIG]

SL showing signs of wear and tear - resting their players etc - its really upto Pakistan to use this tournament to get back into some kind of winning form !

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Great shot Salman!

And he gets 1,000 runs in ODIs!!!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Salman plays the ball off his pads, trademark shot

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

1000 runs for butt with a 4

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

And four more!!

 

[DM]

Current RR 18

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Great shot by Salman, this time he plays the ball through midwicket!

 

[Yasin]

1000 runs for Butt in ODIs. 2 conscutive boundary to him.

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Current RR 18

)

 

[DM]

Are we aiming for 500?!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

10 off first 3 balls )

Runrate of 20 now

 

[JammydodgA]

Great shot Salman!

And he gets 1,000 runs in ODIs!!!

 

[Straight Bat]

good shot four four! 1000 runs

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Dang, Salman middles the ball straight to short midwicket

 

[pak4life]

the ground shoud fill up by the time afridi comes to bat

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Salman could have got a 4 through the covers off that ball...

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

another 4

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

the ground shoud fill up by the time afridi comes to bat

If I lived in Abu Dhabi, I wouldn't even come close to the stadium

All the missles Afridi launches

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Salman gets 2 more!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Good shot again through midwicket

Pakistan 12-0 in 1 over

 

[Yasin]

Awesome start by Pakistan.

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Fried Onions... mmmmmm

 

[Straight Bat]

Good shot again through midwicket

Pakistan 12-0 in 1 over

I'm on the 4th ball )

 

[DM]

Hooohaaa forget 500 let's aim for the moon!!

Great going by Butt

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

So at this run rate of 12, we should get around 600?

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Fernando coming in from the other end

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

and look at Salman's S/R

I wonder what Nazir's will be

 

[Straight Bat]

he palys off his pads really well

 

[DM]

I wish i could watch the stream, really feel like listening to Waqar when he commentates

 

[Rob H]

"Glenn McGrath is a mean machine" quality Waqar

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Pff, Mini Boom Boom bringing our run rate down

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

44444444

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

Nazir gets the ball off middle stump, and works it to the square leg boundary

 

[Rob H]

flicked through square leg for 4 by Nazir. Ripper!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

and four more!!

 

[Straight Bat]

my second over hasn't started yet!!

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

BRILLIANT start by Pakistan, Nazir plays the ball through the offside, just punches it, trademark shot!

 

[Rob H]

What a shot to follow. Cultured batting by Nazir. Backfoot cover drive doesnt get better.

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

my second over hasn't started yet!!

Stop the stream, and turn it back on

 

[dinakar]

from the Srilankan team selection it looks that they really are not very keen to play at that venue in this climate!

 

[Straight Bat]

Nazir has a solid defence, good to see

 

[TheNewLegacy-ShoaibMalik]

So, we're aiming for 550 runs I think

 

[pak4life]

top shot on the back foot could watch that all day

 

[JammydodgA]

44444444

really?? thats amazing!!
