Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Asia Cup | Dhaka | 15/3/12 | 2nd Innings

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez and Younis should never have been our ODI line up

 

[xkalibur80]

still don't understand why YK is being selected?? He can't score to save his life in ODIs - an odd 50 or a 100 against minnows is saving him

11.2
Prasanna to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, what a tame dismissal, Mohammad Hafeez c Chandimal b Prasanna 11 (35b 1x4 0x6) SR: 31.42

Just to point out, this is what TUK TUK mentality does builds unecessary pressure and you end up throwing your wicket.

they are chasing 188 not 240-250 2 maidans dont make such a diff the skill set is lacking. Hafeez i have mentioned is no good against top teams

 

[CalculatedRisk]

why are your legs shaking? it is an easy total...enjoy the chase...hit some shots, pressurize by good running

 

[chui_kadoo]

Just image if SL had 250 on the board

 

[LegCutter]

I really hope Whatmore is taking notes....

 

[Justcrazy]

How can Pakistan beat better teams???

 

[Asif321]

shafiq is sitting out becoz of this

 

[LegCutter]

These guys are the only two proper batsmen in our team it seems...

 

[chui_kadoo]

This now is the key partnership

 

[saeedhk]

If the batsman cant go at least 4 an over,its better to replace them with tailenders.

 

[LegCutter]

the pressure is our main enemy now, Misbah needs to stay at the crease no matter what happens

 

[Munna]

How can Pakistan beat better teams???

By being 'Pakistan'...and not this defensive madness!

 

[LegCutter]

This is what attacking captaincy is; it seems the whole fielding side is inside the circle. This is how you build pressure, Misbah should take notes from Jayawardene

 

[chui_kadoo]

40-3 after 15

 

[Bhaijaan]

This Umar Akmal's chance to show what he got. Too many excuses, stage is all set for him this time around.

 

[Asif321]

everything on Misbah

 

[iRfaN_LA]

40 runs in 15 overs !!! )

 

[Gattuso]

Is it really that hard to take singles

 

[carbon11]

watch misbah make umar do a brainfart.

 

[LegCutter]

Well Sri lanka were 66-4 at this stage so all is not lost....

 

[CalculatedRisk]

pak has managed to make this a test match chase lol

 

[sachin__]

Go on the offensive for a couple of overs for God's sake

 

[Bhaijaan]

RR- 4.25

Still well within reach.

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not understand why Pakistan have such poor quality batters?

 

[CalculatedRisk]

it looks like a 4rth inning chase

 

[Bhaijaan]

If Pakistan plays 50 overs, Pakistan wins. But you gotta play those normally.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Misbah hits a 4

 

[Square Drive]

Bad performance by our batsmen so far. But let's still hope for the best.

 

[LegCutter]

watch misbah make umar do a brainfart.

Misbah is batting great, stop blaming him for the rest of the crap batsmen.

 

[Bhaijaan]

And here we were talking a bonus point win

 

[Munna]

Better approach frm our captain today!

 

[Square Drive]

:4

 

[Lara400]

they are chasing 188 not 240-250 2 maidans dont make such a diff the skill set is lacking. Hafeez i have mentioned is no good against top teams

It shouldn't but it did!

 

[shehzadd]

watch misbah make umar do a brainfart.

Misbah building pressure on U akmal like Younis did with Hafeez.
As so called senior batsmen they would have rotating the strike.
Insha Allah he will hit sme 444

 

[Bhaijaan]

Misbah's playing best right now. On a mission.

 

[Square Drive]

Question: It seems hard, but what do we have to do to win via bonus point?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Mard-e-chakka on fire.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar Akmal will win us the match.

 

[Lara400]

13 off 16 Misbah I see the slow down cometh

Good start though relieves the pressure doesn't it!!!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Misbah is 13 off 16 balls. What's going on? This is an amazing S/R for Misbah.

 

[Gattuso]

Emad: "Shocking how India can bat over 300 and still possibly lose and Pakistan can restrict to 188 and still possibly lose....I'll offer the Indians a trade: Aizaz Cheema for Suresh Raina."


Fat chance !!

 

[Asif321]

Hammad and Sarfraz the only batsmen left

 

[shahidafridi123]

 

[Asif321]

misbah come on .........

 

[xkalibur80]

Emad: "Shocking how India can bat over 300 and still possibly lose and Pakistan can restrict to 188 and still possibly lose....I'll offer the Indians a trade: Aizaz Cheema for Suresh Raina."


Fat chance !!

Not Aizaz Cheema but YK for Raina...

 

[Square Drive]

Another :4 MashaAllah!!

 

[Justcrazy]

cannot be blamed for the club like batting of the top order, its time for changes and hard decisions.

 

[Munna]

Shots like those really make this pitch look so easy for batting

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Why do we always lose early wickets and put ourselves back in every situation?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Rameez is torturous. A while ago I heard him say "Pakistan is making a mountain out of a mole" (instead of molehill).

 

[akamaka]

Not Aizaz Cheema but YK for Raina...

why would they want yk?

 

[shehzadd]

Now misbah learns how to build pressure after taking quick wickets. After takingquick wickets he let hafeez bowl for 10 overs. what rubbish captaincy.

 

[Inswinger]

And here we were talking a bonus point win

When are you coming out of the closet?

#obvioustrollisobvious

 

[Green]

Misbah really leading this team of mouses!

 

[Justcrazy]

bats well against the Lankans

 

[smoothcriminal]

Lol the Daikon advertisement is getting a bit out of control.

Prasanna to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, what a tame dismissal, Mohammad Hafeez c Chandimal b Prasanna 11 (35b 1x4 0x6) SR: 31.42

Just to point out, this is what TUK TUK mentality does builds unecessary pressure and you end up throwing your wicket.

I was thinking the same

 

[shehzadd]

why would they want yk?

For younis khan they will give not thr batsman but an umpire.

 

[lilFlip]

Misbah is 18 (21) * MashaAllah nice SR

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal needs to man up

 

[Green]

Akmal bounced!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Misbah going at a good strike rate so far

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah is 18 (21) * MashaAllah nice SR

Surprising to say the least

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

How long can these two last?

 

[Britstani]

Hafeez should be dropped, YK should be dropped, Misbah should step down, Watmore is a useless coach.

Another day at the office for pakistan team and fans lol

 

[shehzadd]

Surprising to say the least

Because he knows if he dont perform now than he is no more.

 

[carbon11]

change for me give younis the boot and bring in shafiq

make akmal open with jamshed

and drop hafeez down the order

also against india i would get rid of afridi and play wahab or abdur rahman

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Need tuk tuk from misbah.

 

[Gattuso]

battle of the akmals.

 

[Munna]

Did gavaskar just call misbah quality?

 

[Looney]

lulz had Shafiq or Ali been playing with that SR , we would see a million threads opened up discussing their dismal SR and his inability to play LOIs .


Just saying

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 134 runs with 7 wickets and 32.0 overs remaining

 

[akamaka]

what a four

 

[lilFlip]

Bullet Drive they call it

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

.

 

[Asif321]

shaba

 

[carbon11]

and they say he can't play text book cover drives

 

[whyamir]

Finally...Umar might save us tonight lol.
