[Saj]

short ball from Rehman.

pulled away for 4 by Chanderpaul

 

[Shayan]

4 off Rehman, nice placement.

 

[Shayan]

Rehman tries to run Lara out, gives away a single.

 

[Shayan]

8 off the over so far.

 

[Saj]

9 from the over. 151 for 3 from 35 overs

Windies looking to up the tempo now

 

[the true passionist]

Sami/Gul should come in for Hafeez for a change of pace since these two are playing the spin with ease.

 

[Saj]

poor fielding from Sami allows Lara a single.

 

[Shayan]

stunning shot from Lara, over extra cover for 4.

 

[Shayan]

thats 10000 ODI runs for Lara.

 

[iZeeshan]

10K for Lara. He's the xth now?

Sachin, Inzi, Lara

 

[Imran_The Man!]

FOr those of us who are not watching, can someone say how how the pitch is playing ? Is it easy to bat on , or have the bowlers been too lax ?

 

[the true passionist]

we need a wkt here. Lara/Chanderpaul may run away with the show in the last 10 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

FOr those of us who are not watching, can someone say how how the pitch is playing ? Is it easy to bat on , or have the bowlers been too lax ?

A bit of both. Lara and Chanders having an easy time batting. Though I believe it is getting easier to bat.

 

[iZeeshan]

Malik should come in at three. Maybe he can revive his beastly form at 3.

 

[Imran_The Man!]

A bit of both. Lara and Chanders having an easy time batting. Though I believe it is getting easier to bat.

Thanks.

the pitch is as easy as you get in ODIs. Pakistan will have to chase a big score here. But this is building up to be a good match.

 

[iZeeshan]

Gul on.

 

[Saj]

FOr those of us who are not watching, can someone say how how the pitch is playing ? Is it easy to bat on , or have the bowlers been too lax ?

Flat and easy paced. A belter for batting.

Gul comes onto bowl.

 

[Shayan]

166 for 3, 37.3 overs.

 

[Saj]

Sami onto bowl, with the score on 168 for 3 from 38 overs.

 

[iZeeshan]

Will be a test for him to see if he can contain the runs here.

 

[Saj]

4 singles from the over. Tidy stuff from Sami.

The Windies preparing for an onslaught, with wickets in hand.

 

[the true passionist]

good over from sami.

 

[the true passionist]

yes spinner still have about 4 overs to go.

 

[khilari]

good over from sami.

yupp.. filling in well for our top bowlers... I hope he keeps it up

 

[Saj]

Sharp fielding by Hafeez at point, stops the Windies from getting a single.

On drive by Chanderpaul, 1 more run.

 

[Saj]

Lazy keeping by Akmal, who is regularly getting sloppy in each match. 1 bye

 

[the true passionist]

all bowlers apart from Razaq have bowled well up to this point.

 

[Saj]

9 from the over.

181 for 3. 10 overs to go

 

[Shayan]

181-3, 40 overs.... we need a good last 10 now.

 

[the true passionist]

Lazy keeping by Akmal, who is regularly getting sloppy in each match. 1 bye

the slower delivery beat him. awkward bounce.

 

[khilari]

gotta get some wickets soon or we could get butchered by these two lefties in the middle.

 

[iZeeshan]

10 overs to go.

Around 260. Should get more though.

 

[the true passionist]

anything less than equal to 7 an over from here is good.

 

[khilari]

is lara just kidding with us or he is really uneasy around sami...

 

[iZeeshan]

WTH? That should have been out!

 

[the true passionist]

i applogize to blind cricket players but Razaq have just fielded like them ( i have seen some blind cricket)

 

[Saj]

High one Razzaq doesnt bother going for the catch.

Can someone check Razzaq's age, because he's fielding like a 50 year old !

 

[iZeeshan]

is lara just kidding with us or he is really uneasy around sami...

Lara is not in a position to kid around.

 

[khilari]

excellent fielding by hafeez... brilliant

 

[Saj]

great fielding from Inzi. Full length dive, saves a boundary

5 from the over

 

[azcali78]

Great stop by Inzy saved certain few runs

 

[the true passionist]

inzi shocks the girls in national stadium with that dive

 

[khilari]

wow... now Inzi with a DIVE.... the crowd cheers up... finally getting to hear Karachi...

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan keeping it tight here. Inzi is fully committed. We may see a big one from him today.

 

[Saj]

48 deliveries to go.

Rehman onto bowl. Testing period for Pakistan.

 

[the true passionist]

pakistan has done well thus far.

 

[Saj]

cut by Lara for 4. Great placement.

Lara finds the gaps with such ease - class act

 

[iZeeshan]

Direct hit. That was out..

 

[khilari]

edit.. nahhh

 

[iZeeshan]

Well it looked like it was.

 

[Saj]

knee problems again for Chanderpaul holds up play.

 

[khilari]

yeh dekho... yousuf and akmal testing shiv's bat

and look here.. inzi giving serious advice to the 'youngster' ..... pleasant it is...

 

[the true passionist]

oh my God...
Ramiz kills Sanjay on that one ) )

 

[Saj]

199 for 3.

42 deliveries to go.

Pakistan should be looking to restrict the Windies to under 250.

 

[Saj]

Rana onto bowl.

starts with a dot ball.

 

[the true passionist]

Sanjay objecting on runners to be allowed in modern day cricket.
Ramiz replies but Sanjay tries to beat in the point.
Ramiz: "I know where you are coming from. Saeed Anwar's 194 still haunts lot of indians"

 

[Saj]

Asad Raouf, together with his lots of black hair dye decides that the ball should be replaced.

 

[Saj]

leg glance, 1 to Chanderpaul

 

[kablooee87]

Sanjay objecting on runners to be allowed in modern day cricket.
Ramiz replies but Sanjay tries to beat in the point.
Ramiz: "I know where you are coming from. Saeed Anwar's 194 still haunts lot of indians"

classic. Keeping Sanjay in line the probably the only use this man has in the world.

 

[iZeeshan]

Windies not really getting a move on...

 

[Saj]

Got him ! The big one.

Lara bowled by Rana. Full delivery, off his pads and onto the stumps.

 

[the true passionist]

RANA bowled Lara

 

[iZeeshan]

BOWLED! What a delivery!

 

[azcali78]

That was good ball, but Lara helped the ball on its way to stumps. Great bowling anyhow, 200-4. Ramdin walks in

 

[Saj]

Ramdin into bat.

 

[the_game]

Guess who's back in form? R-A-N-A!

 

[Saj]

Rana getting some swing here with the changed ball.

Could that have been Lara's last innings in Pakistan, as he waved to the crowd when he was dismissed.

 

[Asim2Good]

Lara's last Inn in Pakistan comes to end

Good Bye Lara from Pakistan

 

[Saj]

200 for 4.

36 deliveries left. Lets have some support from the other end for Rana

 

[iZeeshan]

chanderpaul on attack: 15/0 (10 runs of this over from Gul)

?

 

[Saj]

1 to Chanderpaul from the bowling of Rehman.

Chanderpaul really struggling out there. He must be the weakest and most injury prone cricketer ever !

 

[Asim2Good]

Rana getting some swing here with the changed ball.

Could that have been Lara's last innings in Pakistan, as he waved to the crowd when he was dismissed.

did he got standing ovation from crowd ?

If management had announced before match, I m sure he would got gr8 standing ovation

 

[the true passionist]

?

you pulled that out from the start of the game.

 

[iZeeshan]

250 AT MOST now...

 

[Saj]

Rehman bowling a bit too short here. 1 more to Ramdin

 

[Saj]

did he got standing ovation from crowd ?

If management had announced before match, I m sure he would got gr8 standing ovation

They were shouting his name as he walked off and he waved to them as he left the field - a nice touch from the Karachi crowd

 

[Saj]

Malik drops an absolute dolly of a catch. Schoolboy stuff there.

Disgraceful,

 

[iZeeshan]

Looks like Malik jus lost his award....

 

[Shayan]

Malik drops an easy catch... Ramiz calls him a crap fielder!!!

then ramdin out next ball.
