[Sohaib-789]

Cant wait to see Akhtar in the attack

[Sledger]

3 dot balls, but its free hit time.

 

[Sledger]

4 runs off the freebe.

 

[Sledger]

It was another no ball.

 

[Sledger]

Edged and out, 6/1,

[TalhaSyed]

Misbah vs Akhtar
haha akhtar will be all over him

really hope Akhtar has the type of game he had first up in the IPL. might miss his overs tho coz of Jummah

 

[Waseem]

Asad Ali takes a LOT of wickets with Samiullah, it will be interesting to see him in action.

 

[Sledger]

Am looking forward to Yousuf Vs iDone
and also Shoaib Vs Misbah (I predict Hafeez will fall to a away swinger).

 

[Ayyub]

link plz

 

[Waseem]

Asad Ali gets Raheel Majeed.

Yousuf new batsman

 

[Sledger]

Yousuf beaten first ball, hits 2nd for four.

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

Morning all!

Moyo is in and seems like crippled fatty is playing too.

 

[TalhaSyed]

wants his T20 spot

 

[Waseem]

Brilliant shot by Yousuf, trying to prove that he still wants to play T20 cricket.

 

[Ali888]

LOL yousuf trying to prove something?

 

[Ayyub]

Asif hussain of faisalabad is T-20 specialist.

 

[Sledger]

Morning all!

Moyo is in and seems like crippled fatty is playing too.

Come on, Azhar isn't crippled.

 

[TalhaSyed]

[Ayyub]

Match link plz

 

[Sledger]

Umpire checking if the ball was bitten.

 

[Sohaib-789]

akhtar should come in next as a pinch hitter just like rana did yesterday

 

[Sledger]

Faisalabad are one of the few teams who have a good kit.

 

[Ayyub]

give me other link this link is not working for me ..

 

[Sledger]

Brilliant timing for four.

 

[Waseem]

Both Asad Ali and Samiullah swing the ball a lot and that's the reason they take so many wickets as our batsmen struggle against swinging deliveries.

Beautiful shot for FOUR by Umair Khan, he has decent technique

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

Come on, Azhar isn't crippled.

Morning Sledge! thanks for the early morning laugh.

 

[TalhaSyed]

why would these players rather play footy while fielding and risk causing serious damage by getting their spikes stuck in the ball rather then trying to dive and stopping it?

 

[TalhaSyed]

looks like filder has stepped on the ball and damaged the ball

 

[TalhaSyed]

Umpire warming up

 

[Sledger]

Morning Sledge! thanks for the early morning laugh.

Morning.
One of the umpires trying to tamper the ball atm, smashing it into the pitch about 10 times. :rana

 

[umarf76]

why is naveed latif not playing? he is a terrific t20 player.

 

[Ayyub]

will akhtar be selected for T-20 World cup if he bowls today 4 overs and takes 2 to 3 wickets .

 

[Sledger]

This left hander has timed everything pitched up.

 

[TalhaSyed]

will akhtar be selected for T-20 World cup if he bowls today 4 overs and takes 2 to 3 wickets .

hel be made captain

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

15/1 in 2. Moyo has developed a very annoying habit of constantly talking to Umpires and the bowlers!

 

[Ayyub]

Asif Hussain is another guy to watch out talented player

 

[Sledger]

Yousuf lets the ball go and asks for a new bat.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Finally good fielding!

Great catch to remove

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

Moyo is trying lots of yeeehaa without much result.

 

[Sledger]

YOUSUF OUT! Huge wicket.

iDone getting iPampered on the boundary.

Shoaib Mohammad showing off his English again, at least we don't have to deal with :mirzaiqba

 

[TalhaSyed]

score board operators wont be getting to use the "Nice Catch" sign much

 

[Sledger]

4 off 7 for Moyo, I was looking forward to him against .

 

[umarf76]

lots of movement for samiullah and asad

 

[umarf76]

clumsiest catch ever been appreciated by commentators .. only in Pakistan!

 

[Sledger]

It was an easy catch made to look hard by a Pakistani. Commentators creaming their pants.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Shoaib Mohammad sounds like Himesh Reshmiya. Its soooo annoying

 

[umarf76]

umair khan flicks a four .. looks like a good player ..

 

[TalhaSyed]

nice flick off the pad for

 

[Sledger]

4 runs, good shot.

Am surprised Nazir didn't open the bowling.

 

[Poison]

Naan and daal shot

 

[TalhaSyed]

back to back s

 

[Sledger]

Beautiful shot, that. Took it off the stumps and whipped it away..

 

[TalhaSyed]

Free Hit Coming Up!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Free hit goes for a wide so another free hit

 

[Sledger]

That was a huuuge wide.

 

[Sledger]

Umpires are ****, missed a few no ball calls already. Shoaib Mohammad having a go.

 

[Sledger]

WHAT a shot, blasted down the ground.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Umpires are ****, missed a few no ball calls already. Shoaib Mohammad having a go.

can get away with 94 mph yorkers from 18 yards away from the batsmen

 

[Sledger]

31/2 after the first 5.

 

[TalhaSyed]

smacked for four!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Dropped by the keeper!

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

35/2 in 5.1 and beloved Mirza iqbal is in the house now.
Catch dropped.

 

[Sledger]

Mirza on, time to go to sleep.

 

[TalhaSyed]

good attempt but he got to it and should have held on

 

[Sledger]

Here we go, Iqbal starting to go on about past, useless and unrelated facts.

 

[Sledger]

:Samiullah bowling well here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Come on the Wolves!

 

[Waseem]

Umair Khan and Fayyaz are both looking quite good.
Both play confidently.
Umair played against England A but couldn't do much because he isn't T20 player. He is more suited to Tests and ODIs.

Good bowling and good batting so far.

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

Calling is terrible. Fair few run out chances already.

I am sure moin wants to kick Iqbal's behind but he just cant.

Hafeez to bowl now..36/2 in 6

 

[Sledger]

Islamabad struggling bit here to get a move on, come on you leopards.. hang in there!

 

[umarf76]

where is Naveed Latif? Was he not a Faisalabad player? He is quite good in this format.

 

[Sledger]

iDone being held back, part time offies on.
