Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka | T20 Warmup | Centurion | 09/09/07 | PAK WIN

[Usman Chadda]

Damn we are panicking a little now. Younis now gone, lbw to Jayasuriya for 15

 

[Shahid A]

what will he do?

6 or out?

 

[hellopak]

Good captaincy from Jaywardene, he brought in Malanga for Afridi.

 

[Saj]

My guess - YK was lbw playing the sweep shot.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Younis gone for 15....Afridi in

 

[Shahid A]

Malinga back into the attack

 

[Saj]

meanwhile Kenya looking good to beat Bangladesh today

 

[Shahid A]

129/3 15.0

 

[The Godfather]

what score is it now

 

[deviously~fading~away]

need to score quick runs, let's see what happends

 

[Saj]

129 for 3 from 15 overs. 34 needed from 5 overs

 

[Shahid A]

what score is it now

129 for 3 off 15 overs

Afridi 7*
Malik 7*

 

[Usman Chadda]

Required run-rate is going up all the time. We now need 34 runs from 30 balls

Great captaincy by Jayawardene. Bringing back his pacemen for Afridi

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Afridi wacks 4...7 off 8 balls now

 

[Hash]

We are cruising along to victory here.

 

[Easa]

good early morning mr.

I'm sitting in intro to programming class..

The teacher thinks I'm a star student.

not to worry a 6 here from afridi & a six there from malik & we will be back in business

LoL, hope it is not too hard. Study first, you could always get scores since it is not real commentary.

 

[dirk diggler]

needed this kinda finish against top opposition to test us

 

[Easa]

crapinfo seems to be stuck at 129/3.. any latest updates?

 

[hellopak]

If SL is not strong opposition, then who would be so strong of an opposition?

 

[dirk diggler]

glad murali's not playing

 

[Muddaser]

crapinfo seems to be stuck at 129/3.. any latest updates?

Another wicket gone?

 

[Shahid A]

134/4 16.0


Afridi Gone !!

 

[Usman Chadda]

134/4 now Pakistan

Afridi goes for 7, caught by Jayawardene off Fernando

Amazing how two overs can change the complexion of the game completely!

 

[Easa]

LoL, hope it is not too hard. Study first, you could always get scores since it is not real commentary.

Its a computer class yaar.. no studying here.. just playing with animations and other stuff.. but strictly no internet so I'm being careful!

 

[Saj]

Another wicket gone?

yes Afridi gone for 7.

29 needed fom 4 overs.

 

[darkmoon459]

Afridi gone ,Pak 134/4

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Another wicket gone?

Malik or Afridi
Afridi gone for 7! 134-4

 

[dirk diggler]

If SL is not strong opposition, then who would be so strong of an opposition?

that's what i meant that SL is no uganda, kenya bangladesh, they're a "proper" team

 

[Usman Chadda]

Required run-rate now upto 7.25. Sri Lankan bowlers giving nothing away. Must be a cracker of a game for the people in the stadium!

 

[Easa]

Afridi gone now..

 

[Hash]

Relax people.........we have won this match

29 from 24 with 6 wickets in hand. Could do it with our eyes closed. We are just trying to give the crowd their moneys worth since we are such nice people.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Afridi gone now..

What was that about an easy victory Easa?

 

[hellopak]

Akmal promoted in the batting order, and protected SOLID MISBAH in the dressing room for some hard times in future matches.

 

[Re-Verse]

This should be the true test for Pakistan.........Can they win when they have decent opposition and no big hittter like Razzler left for the crucial end..... Having said that they have always got Misbah to come in.....

 

[Usman Chadda]

Should have sent Fawad after Afridi's dismissal

 

[Hash]

What was that about an easy victory Easa?

This has been an easy win

Sri Lanka never looked like winning. 7.25 per over for 4 overs with 6 wickets in hand is nothing to write home about.

 

[hellopak]

Relax people.........we have won this match

6 wickets including a BIG wicket of Misbah.

Malik is a big hitter and a much much much much much better batsman than Razzaq

 

[Shahid A]

143/4 16.5

 

[Saj]

143 for 4.

20 to win from 19 balls

 

[Usman Chadda]

Cricinfo well and truly stuck now (at the same time gone gaga too). Pakistan's score right now is 143/4 yet we need 29 runs for victory

EDIT: They corrected it

Pakistan need 20 from 19 balls now

 

[hellopak]

Seem like Kenya is competing with Pakistan, whenever Pakistan lose a wicket, Kenya lose one too. Pak need 20 runs in 18 balls, Kenya need 20 runs in 19 balls, both have 6 wickets in hand.

 

[Daoud]

Only an attempt to give them a glimmer of hope before cruelly crushing them

(or so thats what I hope)

 

[Re-Verse]

Malik is a big hitter and a much much much much much better batsman than Razzaq

I am just putting things into context....Having a big hitter near the end is always useful. No doubt Malik is a good striker of the ball but if he goes who is left to come in...Alam can score but is he used to pressure situation in International Cricket?

hmmmm

seems dodgy to me that does. Think something fishy is going on.

If he goes Kamran is still there. And then there is still Yasir Arafat.....both of whom are good strikers of the ball.

May be DNA instructed

 

[Hash]

May be DNA instructed

I can ask him if you want.

 

[hellopak]

152/5

 

[Easa]

Usman, I never doubted that we are going to win..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Cricinfo really getting stuck a lot

 

[Hash]

less than a run a ball needed now

 

[Muddaser]

Akmal gone.

Pakistan 152/5 needing 11 with 12 balls remaining.

Misbah new man in.

 

[Usman Chadda]

We need 11 runs from 12 runs now. hellopak's most admired batsman is at the crease now with Malik

Pakistan 152/5

 

[hellopak]

Usman, I never doubted that we are going to win..

12 balls 10 runs to win and 5 wickets. No worry

 

[Shahid A]

152/5 18.0

 

[The Godfather]

it should be all over

 

[Re-Verse]

If he goes Kamran is still there. And then there is still Yasir Arafat.....both of whom are good strikers of the ball.

I really hope you are right when we are playing teams such as SA, Aus, NZ who have good death bowlers and guys such as Arafat, Alam and Misbah coming in near a pressure cooker situation...Experience does count

 

[hellopak]

We need 11 runs from 12 runs now. hellopak's most admired batsman is at the crease now with Malik

Pakistan 152/5

He is born to carry water but DNA made him carry bat, so he comes at point when match is almost over, and he gets his pay check and stay not out without any real contribution to game. I am sure Hash could have done better and could have made some money too.

 

[Hash]

Pakistan win by 5 wickets with 7 balls to spare.

As I predicted.......an EASY win. We NEVER looked like losing this one...not even for 1 ball. Great stuff from Pakistan.

 

[darkmoon459]

163/5

 

[Shahid A]

pakistan win by 5 wickets

163/5 18.5

 

[The Godfather]

can anyone tell me when pakistans first match is at the 2020 world cup

 

[Easa]

We won with 5 wickets with ease..

[Usman Chadda]

Match over. Malik goes crazy in Malinga's last over and finishes off the game with a flurry of boundaries

Sri Lanka rolled over quite easily. Next target: Scotland!

 

[nitrous]

can anyone tell me when pakistans first match is at the 2020 world cup

wednesday, against scotland

 

[The Godfather]

thanks nitrous for letting me know

 

[dirk diggler]

misbah showing form with a s/r of 100, selectors must be pleased!

 

[dirk diggler]

that's...5 victories on the bounce?

salman butt gets bowled :

 

[harrybeg]

great pictures thanks alot , pakistan are really doing good in the warms ups they are undefeated , their getting use to it and having some experience .

they'll be organised in the championship match (20/20) .
but teams like India and Eng they haven't done warm up matches so their not fully practiced.

Insallah pak will win the 20/20 cup!

 

[iZeeshan]

Pretty sweetness eh? Never lost a 20/20 game yet...

Beauty stuff from Butt today actually, and Hafeez also brilliant. Nazir should still be opening however, with Hafeezo down the order.

 

[Shahid A]

shoaib Malik hits through the off side :

 

[Shahid A]

Mohammad Hafeez plays the reverse sweep :

 

[Oxy]

Pak performing well ON the pitch despite all the off-field distractions.

Lets hope they can take this form and confidence into the T20
