RBS Twenty/20 Cup | Day 6 Matches Thread | 05/Mar/10

[Sohaib-789]

inshallah akhtar will peform well and be selected for the world cup

 

[umarf76]

Knowing our selectors and their lack of selecting ability. Hafeez can be picked for t20 WC. Scary to say the least.....

What is wrong with that? I think he or Shahzaib should open with Kamran until and unless Imran Nazir can remind us in the next 2 RBS games that he can still bat.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

fantastic opening bowl. Look at thar run up!

 

[Ayyub]

Shoaib akhtar fitness is awful by seeing his first 2 balls.

 

[Poison]

Massive wide lol

Loosener

 

[Pakistani tigers]

come on that was out!

 

[Poison]

Akhtar is bowling very quick.

 

[IMMY69]

shoaib is looking fit and bowling is looking sharp!

 

[Pakistani tigers]

bowled him!

 

[Pakistani tigers]

wow!

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Out

 

[Poison]

WHAT A BEAUTY !!!!

!

 

[P4K1 #1]

bowled him!!! beuty by sheebi!!

 

[IMMY69]

good ball...but very very baaaaad shot

 

[kamranO]

gone

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Good Night Hafeez

 

[taaveez]

Poor technique by the batsman and a great delivery

 

[sanakazmi]

shoaib's bowling with two slips, aah to have a fast bowling captain!

 

[Pakistani tigers]

he is bowling late 140k i would say

 

[AZ]

Got Him!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sarmad1983]

MY MAN...... SHOAIB AKHTAR...... him in his prime was the best thing to happen to pakistan cricket since wasim and waqar's prime

 

[Poison]

good ball...but very very baaaaad shot

Mate the ball was brilliant. It seamed back from a mile outside off to knock out LEG STUMP.

 

[taaveez]

Hafeez hopefully is left behind in Pak

 

[kamranO]

shoaib you beauty

 

[Ayyub]

Shoaib Akhtar still to work hard and i think 3 week fitness camp for T-20 World cup is good enough to check him to book his ticket to west indies and england .

 

[Paradox]

That was an absolute beauty.

Shoaib!

 

[IMMY69]

actually the delivery looks better on reply..it swung in nicely..

 

[Poison]

I think he's bowling about 145-150kmh.

 

[Paradox]

My lord, Shoaib is bowling lightning quick - still faster than any of the fast bowlers we have playing in our team right now (Gul, Aamer, Asif, etc)

 

[sarmad1983]

no Misbah at 1 down.........woman

 

[pak4life]

I think he will break down next over

 

[IMMY69]

Mate the ball was brilliant. It seamed back from a mile outside off to knock out LEG STUMP.

yes just seen the replay...but it was inswing rather then seam movement..

eitherway, very good delivery.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Seems to be bowling at a decent pace

 

[McBoom]

good ball...but very very baaaaad shot

What else would you expect from the wonder boy Hafeez.

 

[imranhk786]

POLICE GUYS SITTING WITHA HOT CHICK ..i makes me feel like joining pak police ...chalir zindabad

 

[IMMY69]

the difference in pace between the constrictor and the actor is startling...

 

[Poison]

GIVE RAO THE NEW BALL :iRao

 

[Poison]

Akhtar's upper body looks shredded. His back is huge. :arnie

 

[IMMY69]

lol...it was azhar mehmoud..no wonder there is such a huge difference in pace..

As usual, I am getting it all wrong!

 

[Ayyub]

POLICE GUYS SITTING WITHA HOT CHICK ..i makes me feel like joining pak police ...chalir zindabad

hot chick i must say

 

[Poison]

Islamabad's team looks pretty weak if you take out Akhtar + Yousuf.

 

[kamranO]

In 2005 Asif hussein was good as sehwag courtesy rameez commentary in 2005

 

[Pakistani tigers]

this over they need 2 wickets.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

azhar has let him down with a bad over

 

[sarmad1983]

how is mahmoods bowling.....are the 4's good shot, edges, bad bowling??

 

[sanakazmi]

That tukka six off a Shoaib bouncer reminds me of 1999.

 

[Poison]

What A Shot !

 

[IMMY69]

who's the leftie?? Anyone?

He looks pretty good.

 

[Paradox]

FAST stuff.

Only disadvantage is, batsmen can use that pace of the ball to hit it to the boundary, they only need bat on ball.

Wow, that was extremely quick too, defended back to Akhtar

Lovely stuff

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Shoaib still carrying too much weight

 

[sanakazmi]

Do you guys think something has changed in his run-up? It looks a tad restrained?

 

[Poison]

Islamabad uniform is CRAP.

 

[Sledger]

Shoaib rushing all batsman atm, moving it both ways too - Hafeez was out to an excellent ball.

 

[IMMY69]

Shoiab is already blowing hard...

 

[ShehryarK]

how is mahmoods bowling.....are the 4's good shot, edges, bad bowling??

Wayward bowling, no pace. And that after Shoaib Mohammad bigged him up for his line and length and control etc!

 

[Paradox]

Very smooth runup, he's also running in very fast which is a good sight.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

beuaty of a ball!

 

[ShehryarK]

Shoaib definitely looks leaner and fitter, even younger - first match back, but still very smooth run-up and delivery.

Bowling very fast, causing the batsmen and keeper all sorts of problems.

Could have had two wickets already, on two beauties.

 

[kamranO]

bowling is good but he is fat gaaay now

 

[Eagle_Eye]

whose been biting the ball... its changed shape

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Afridi's team playing next ?

 

[taaveez]

Very smooth runup, he's also running in very fast which is a good sight.

His followthrough looks a bit tired though

 

[Sledger]

Shoaib was moving the ball around, batsman have probably complained.

 

[sanakazmi]

aaah, how did that miss the stumps. excellent stuff from shoaib!

 

[Poison]

LOL at the Pakistani way of 'making the ball old' )

 

[Pakistani tigers]

oooh!

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Ohhh almost

 

[TalhaSyed]

beauty by akhtar!!!

 

[Paradox]

MY GOD the last ball of the over by Akhtar was SUPERB!
I have NO idea how the batsman felt safe leaving that inswinger, that was also around 155ks easily

 

[Sledger]

WHAT an inswinger by Shoaib, that was an Imran Khan, unlucky to have missed the wickets.

 

[Poison]

MY GOD the last ball of the over by Akhtar was SUPERB!
I have NO idea how the batsman felt safe leaving that inswinger, that was also around 155ks easily

I doubt that lol. He may have hit 150 once in this spell, he's not bowling express but he's bowling very phassst.

 

[Sledger]

LOL at the Pakistani way of 'making the ball old' )

I know, and they wonder why Pakistanis have a reputation as tamperers when its basically permitted for the umpires.

 

[IMMY69]

Akhtar now needs to get himself even fitter and must maintain his fitness...

I dont want to get ahead on myself..but amir, akhtar and asif is a mouthwatering test match line-up!

 

[Sledger]

Wonder if Shoaib will carry on for a 3rd.

 

[McBoom]

Mahmood looks worse than a club bowler.

 

[Sledger]

Azhar is losing this game on his own.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Shaoib shud have given the ball to Rao this over...

Azhar is out of sorts in this match

 

[TalhaSyed]

Azhar releasig all the pressure

 

[Sledger]

Mahmood bowling far too straight.

 

[Poison]

Akhtar has to bowl all 4 now. Not enough runs.
