Pakistan vs Zimbabwe | 4th ODI | Faisalabad | 30/01/08 |

[Sheikh]

Alright now bring on Sohail for Sohail!

 

[Lightning]

Hussain showing his experience. Another good delivery zoning in on the inability of the Zims to play inswing from the left arm angle.

 

[kablooee87]

Masakadza had no clue against the inswing.

 

[prince_of_hell]

malik will be feeling bad about sarfaraz making all these saves... he's running out of excuses of not playing him instead of kamran

 

[Sage]

lbw given by de silva, mazakadza gone

 

[Daoud]

Zimb batsman just plant their leg out before the ball is bowled

Reminds me of the test match they had against England once in Durham back in 2003. Richard Johnson on debut ran through them with 6 wickets, a good number of them lbw

 

[Lightning]

Kamran Hussain reminds me of Vaas.

 

[Sheikh]

Beauty by Hussain. Well, he definitely looks better than that joker Khalil, that's for sure.

 

[161]

beautiful bowling from kamran

 

[Sage]

13-2 after 6

 

[Sage]

waqar, mushtaq on

 

[prince_of_hell]

4 wides in one over by tanvir.... seems like tanvir is trying to break our sami's record of bowling the most balls

 

[asifp]

hhaha Mushy Jigar , "Sohail Tanvir is in good knick"

knock knock Mushy he is bowling not batting

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Pankha is experimenting quite a bit with his inswingers. He would be a much better bowler if Waqar was the bowling coach.

 

[Sage]

mushtaq - that's a good delivery sohail tanvir...has been a very good nick

 

[Lightning]

Ahahahaha, commentary is so BAAAD.

 

[161]

pakistani commentators complaining against LBWs given to their own bowlers ..

would u guys ever expect indian commies to do the same ?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Wow Taibu is coming down the pitch against Kamran and just played a fine pull shot for 4

 

[Sage]

4

 

[Lightning]

I'm still not impressed with K. Hussain. Unless he's a very clean hitter - his bowling doesn't have the bite against the stronger teams.

 

[161]

Pankha is experimenting quite a bit with his inswingers. He would be a much better bowler if Waqar was the bowling coach.

all of our bowlers would benefit tremendously from waqar ..

clearly lawson isn't doing the job .. most our bowlers have looked wayward under him.

 

[Sheikh]

Come on...bring on Khan already!!

 

[Lightning]

Sohail Khan being held back longer than I expected...

 

[prince_of_hell]

should be tanvir's last over

 

[Lightning]

OMG Malik almost killed Sarfraz. All for his little friend... DISGUSTING.

 

[Sheikh]

Apparently that last Tanvir ball was 83.4 kph. There is something seriously wrong with the speed gun.

 

[ihsandar]

tanvir i am not sure he can pass 130km he looks very slow

 

[Bailan]

Malik sabotaging Sarfarz? lol

 

[Megadeth]

fastest ball so far 127.5km/h. I'm no speed gun fanatic..but that is really slow for opening bowlers(who aren't bowling spin).. atleast 135 plus shud be the norm

 

[161]

Sohail Khan being held back longer than I expected...

oh yaar .. relax .. kamran and sohail bowling very well out there .

 

[prince_of_hell]

wat just hapend with sarfraz thingy? i kind of missed it... wat did malik do?

 

[Sage]

some ninjas in the crowd not too happy with the camera

 

[Sage]

good stop by afridi

 

[Sheikh]

After this slow start, I fully expect the Zimbabweans to go after Sohail Khan.

 

[161]

fastest ball so far 127.5km/h. I'm no speed gun fanatic..but that is really slow for opening bowlers(who aren't bowling spin).. atleast 135 plus shud be the norm

quit lying plz ... kamran has hit 130's.

 

[Sage]

[asifp]

Sohail Khan is going to be a 130ish bowler , wait and watch

 

[Megadeth]

quit lying plz ... kamran has hit 130's.

i'm not watching the match..thats what cricinfo said..

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Very slow pitch this. ZIM 25/2 after 10 overs

 

[prince_of_hell]

Haroon is not impressed: "what's up with the Pakistani bowlers? they are barely bowling fast. the fastest they have bowled today is 127.5. That isn't even considered medium any more."

 

[asifp]

more Tanvir

 

[prince_of_hell]

get in sohail

 

[Megadeth]

Haroon is not impressed: "what's up with the Pakistani bowlers? they are barely bowling fast. the fastest they have bowled today is 127.5. That isn't even considered medium any more."

@ kashif.. ditto...

 

[asifp]

I think dead wickets such as these are having a huge impact on the lack of pace in Pakistan bowlers. Only an idiot would want to bowl at tear away pace on these for 4 days

 

[Megadeth]

Sohail Khan is going to be a 130ish bowler , wait and watch

 

[Megadeth]

Sohail Khan is going to be a 130ish bowler , wait and watch

I can picture the nxt thread "condemning" Sohail Khan if he turns out to be a 130s bowler... all the "waqar" hype..

 

[161]

i'm not watching the match..thats what cricinfo said..

well either u or cricinfo are mistaken.

anyhow .. here is a link if u want to watch - acricket.com

 

[asifp]

I can picture the nxt thread "condemning" Sohail Khan if he turns out to be a 130s bowler... all the "waqar" hype..

hahah , Shoaib Malik wants all the shine off the ball before giving the ball to Sohail Khan

 

[prince_of_hell]

hey kashif, wher r u from in NY?

 

[Karachi]

some ninjas in the crowd not too happy with the camera

Please don't talk about your family.

 

[Lightning]

Awesome pick up and throw from Captain saab.

 

[asifp]

shot !

 

[Lightning]

We want Sohail Khan! This over has to be it..

 

[prince_of_hell]

bring in sohail khan for goodness sake

 

[Lightning]

And it is!

 

[Sage]

4

 

[asifp]

arright guys here we go Sohail Khan

 

[W63L35]

Sohail Khan....at last!

 

[W63L35]

1st ball....a loosner!

 

[Lightning]

First ball is 118 ks. Slower ball.

 

[asifp]

first ball reminds me of Azhar Mehmood

 

[prince_of_hell]

alrite guyz... keep ur coments ready bout the new guy in the block

 

[kablooee87]

Ok, I'm buying into the hype....cmon, let's see something from this kid.

 

[Lightning]

second ball is 135 ks.

 

[Sage]

118.8 for khan

 

[Lightning]

already almost 140 ks. Woo!

 

[daily_dreamer]

Building it up.....139.5k's.

 

[asifp]

I think Waqar Younis should be this guys coach

 

[Lightning]

Definitely has pace. But runup and follow through very raw.

 

[Lightning]

Woo that was very very fast on this dead pitch! Ripping short ball. WOW

 

[prince_of_hell]

139.5, not bad

 

[daily_dreamer]

Bloody quick bouncer...I don't care what the speed gun says....that was faster than 137 k's! Bring it!!

 

[161]

pace from sohail .. 140 KPH in his third delivery !

 

[wanted_desi]

I didn't like his action, any take on that?

 

[Lightning]

Good reply from Taibu. Cuts short wide ball for 4.

 

[W63L35]

I didn't like his action, any take on that?

Whats wrong with it?

 

[Sheikh]

Touching 140 on a slow, flat pitch. Seems aggressive, has a good bouncer, and pitches it up regularly. Looks like all the hype has a reason.

 

[kablooee87]

First Over:

118.8
135.7
139.5
137.1
137.0 (bouncer)
136.8


He walks like Akhtar

 

[asifp]

Heed needs a LOT and I mean a LOT of work on his actoin

He runs in like a medium Pacer
plus i think he needs to open his body up a more like Waqar or Rana

 

[Lightning]

I see loads, loads of potential in S. Khan. And his runup and follow through is awful. Imagine how quick he'll be once he fixes that. 150 k bowler in the making guys.
