RBS Pentangular One Day | Federal Area Leopards v Sindh Dolphins | Karachi | 26/04/10

[Sledger]

Rameez can't control the slower one, both drifting down leg.

 

[TalhaSyed]

crap fielding continues

 

[ZAK]

Yaya Hussaini seems to be a sha'ir. He's trying to impress the Karachites with his Urdu skills

 

[mon858]

hope federal area can win this as this is their last match and if they loose sindh and baluchistan will play the final

really!! in that case, i hope its a tie... i want both fed and sindh in final. sindh cause i'm originally from there and fed cause i want shoaib to keep firing away!!

 

[TalhaSyed]

four. Game Set & Match

 

[TalhaSyed]

commentators having a dig at rameez's bowling in this tourny which IMO is completly unfair

 

[Sledger]

Sarfraz looking a bit better now.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

crap fielding continues

now you know why our batsman that scores loads of runs in First class
are unable to score in international cricket shots that usually go for fours for them get stopped to singles. But they never run Butt is one of the major culprits for me.

 

[TalhaSyed]

well looks like Sindh will be in the final with B Bears. Unless KP beat B Bears and beat them reasonably well but taht cant see that happening well done to B Bears the dark horses of the tourny but Sindh looklike they will take the cup with ease

 

[Sledger]

And now a spinner from the other end.. odd captaincy.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Can some one please tell Bazid Khan that as great form as might be in right now he cant take runs away from Sindh!!!

 

[TalhaSyed]

and now only 19 needed in over 4 overs

 

[Sledger]

4 for Sarfraz.. Commentators having a go at Bazid's 'tactical blunders' and rightfully so.

 

[srh]

guys keep updating the score please

 

[Seen Sheen]

Bbye FA leopards..

 

[Sledger]

17 needed off the last 4.

 

[TalhaSyed]

well looks like Sindh will be in the final with B Bears. Unless KP beat B Bears and beat them reasonably well but taht cant see that happening well done to B Bears the dark horses of the tourny but Sindh looklike they will take the cup with ease

Oh unless Punjab trash Sindh & KP beat B Bears in which case it could be Punjab & Sindh in the final but thats higly unlikely

 

[Sledger]

And now its Shoaib to try and produce a miracle.

 

[TalhaSyed]

now akhtar comes on...unles he gets a bunch of wickets for less the 2 runs this game is gone

 

[Sledger]

Hasan Raza again looking WEAK against the short ball! )

 

[TalhaSyed]

256/4 16 needed from 22

 

[Sledger]

Slower Ball well picked, Sarfraz takes one. Game is fading away.

 

[TalhaSyed]

only a hat trick can bring FA back

akhtar should go for the double bluff and york Raza Hassan

 

[Sledger]

Would be very clever if Shoaib bowls a yorker here with Raza expecting the bouncer.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hasan=ugliness personified..

 

[Sledger]

LOL, great minds think alike.

 

[Sledger]

Now the bouncer?

 

[Sledger]

Bouncer pulled for 4, Shoaib losing his touch.. I'm reading him like a book.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Raza pulls for four....shuda stuck to the yorkers even if Raza was strugling with the bouncer....not enough runs to play around with the bowling

 

[Seen Sheen]

Commentator calling a 'Buurha Sher'..

 

[TalhaSyed]

Poor start and end by akhtar today

10 overs only the one wicket for 57

which isnt the the worse seeing how his last 6 went for 21...but on the whole dissapointing

 

[Sledger]

That was BRILLIANT batting from Hasan Raza.
Shoaib changed his action to the 'pull back' he does in delivery stride before a yorker, Raza picked that and went well back in his crease (almost touching the stumps) to mess up Shoaib's line. He did and flicked it away for four. Superb thinking, very impressed.

 

[TalhaSyed]

FA started the tourny so well but ruined it in the last 2 games

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Bouncer pulled for 4, Shoaib losing his touch.. I'm reading him like a book.

I don't consider Akhter an ODI bowler to me he is at his best in test cricket
where he does not have to worry about the runs he is going for.
But sadly his body and fitness is more suited to 2020 cricket

 

[TalhaSyed]

Sindh VS B Bears in the final with Sindh taking the cup

He's good in whatever form of cricket because he'll always take wickets. It'll be very rare that he bowls all 10 for no return. Can be expensive but can turn a game around whatever the format.

 

[Abdullah22]

Sindh VS B Bears in the final with Sindh taking the cup

Is it final or can FA make it.

 

[Sledger]

4 needed now.........

 

[Sledger]

Sindh win, Raza lofts it over square on the off side.

 

[mon858]

can someone explain why bazid bowled 4 overs from umar amin (who went for 8.5/ov) when he had 4 remaining from shehzad (who went for 4.5/ov)!!! thats probably where they cost this game.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Is it final or can FA make it.

technically FA & PS can still make it but will take a couple of miracles.

For FA, KP have to trash BB & SD have to trash PS.

For PS, KP have to trash BB & PS need to trash SD

or the much more realistic possibility is that can decide who he wants to see in the final

 

[srh]

Hasan Raza should have come before Faisal Iqbal.

 

[Abdullah22]

According to commentator he got unfit.

 

[Sledger]

Faisal Iqbal's Haircut............... )

 

[srh]

Where is Shahreyar Ghani in Sindh team? He should have been selected before Faisal Iqbal.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Well played, Shahzaib and Khurram. Shahzaib has got a hat trick of half centuries. Shahzaib vs Akhtar was a good contest to watch!
Asad Shafiq looked a little off color today. But one thing I like about the guy is that he doesn't give his wicket away easily and fights his way (bit like Fawad Alam).

 

[pakcricketfan]

He is Sind's 12th man.

 

[Sledger]

Abdur Rauf and Mohammad Irfan are on BKBH now if anyone wants to know.

No congrats to Umar Amin?
85* 7 4s SR: 108
What do you think of him?

 

[pakcricketfan]

Asad Shafiq has a solid defense don't know about his attacking ability.

He has attacking ability, too. I've been following him since his FC debut..have seen him bat several times. He is a good prospect for Pakistan. The guy is a complete package! He can open the innings, come at #3 and even bat in the middle order. He also bowls, is an excellent fielder and also a part time wicketkeeper.

 

[pakcricketfan]

No congrats to Umar Amin?
85* 7 4s SR: 108
What do you think of him?

I was just talking about the batsmen from the winning side.
As for Umar Amin, I think he along with Asad Shafiq are ready to be drafted into the national team. Umar, Asad and Shahzaib have been the most impressive batsmen in this tournament.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Is Azeem Ghumman in the Sind squad??

 

[Boi]

Is Azeem Ghumman in the Sind squad??

I think he has been playing those U-19 games against Pakistan A and regional teams.

 

[pakcricketfan]

I think he has been playing those U-19 games against Pakistan A and regional teams.

That series has finished. If I remember correctly, the last match was on 19th April.

 

[Ali888]

yes very positive day for Shahzaib, Umar Amin and Shoaib Akhtar
