[Sledger]

Good luck to both teams, if we get half as good a game as yesterday it should be a cracker.

Hope the crowd turns up in numbers and doesn't dissapoint after Karachi's departure.

 

[Umta]

I want Faisalabad to win this match. Go Wolves

 

[irfan21987]

[gameovais]

Which channel on SKY in the UK is broadcasting this? I might watch some of it.

Right Arm version of MJ :Sami

Geo.

 

[Sledger]

Openers have come out, Asif to open the bowling.

 

[Ayyub]

if hafeez make 50 today i will not mind if he get selected for world cup t-20

 

[Sledger]

Off the mark with 1 straight away, not a huge crowd but ok in size.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Off the mark,straight away..

 

[sanakazmi]

Asif! Bowled.

 

[Sledger]

BOWLED im!

 

[Seen Sheen]

And gone...Asif Hussain departs..

 

[Sledger]

Full, swinging away inside edge onto the stumps.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Now pressure is on middle-order...!...

 

[irfan21987]

OUT!!

1/1

Asif Hussain bowled by M. Asif for 0

 

[Sledger]

Keeper in at 3, flirts with a wide one. Almost nicked it behind.

 

[Inswinger]

Zameer Haider is one of the umpires. I think he has some international experience.

 

[Sledger]

Asif getting a lot of away swing with the Karachi sea breeze.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wicket-keeper,Salman is the new batsman..

 

[Inswinger]

Who's this annoying commentator?

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez almost chopped on, what a start..2/1.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Zameer Haider is one of the umpires. I think he has some international experience.

definitely,he has supervised quite a few odis and t20s..

 

[volcyz]

Asif Hussain is absolutely useless.

 

[Sledger]

Who's this annoying commentator?

You'll have to narrow it down more than this.

 

[Sledger]

aq starts with a no ball, free hit.

 

[Ayyub]

Hafeez ,Misbah And Salman is key for Faisalabad .

 

[Sledger]

Crowd are with Faisalabad btw.

 

[Seen Sheen]

aq,free hit..

 

[Sledger]

Free hit, dot ball. Razzaq stops it with his foot.

 

[Inswinger]

You'll have to narrow it down more than this.

The guy who is speaking now.

 

[Sledger]

Keeper wants to change his bat.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Drilled down the ground..

 

[Sledger]

New bat works, big hit down the ground for four.

 

[Inswinger]

Is this the same Salman whom Rashid Latif called the best keeper in Pakistan a few years ago?

 

[Lethal]

Clubbed down the ground for 4 by Salman

 

[saeed-sohail]

Has anyone else noticed Geo ticker saying veena malik has sent asif a legal notice to pay her 34 lakh rupees he owes her or she will file an FIR.

 

[Lethal]

Good comeback by A.Razzaq.

 

[masterblaster]

you get TWO runs in t20 for NO BALL?? :S

 

[Sledger]

Good comeback by Razzaq, risky shot by the batsman. It would be wise to see off Asif and Razzaq for one more over each because the ball is doing a fair bit.

 

[Lethal]

A.Razzaq strikes.

Salman gone.

 

[Seen Sheen]

2 down..salman gone.. should come in now..

 

[Sledger]

Good comeback by Razzaq, risky shot by the batsman. It would be wise to see off Asif and Razzaq for one more over each because the ball is doing a fair bit.

Didn't listen.

Misbah in now?

 

[Inswinger]

Hard to believe but Cricinfo has ball by ball commentary for the final.

Bad start by the Wolves. Hopefully they get a good total because we don;t want a one-sided final.

 

[saeed-sohail]

all depends on misbah and hafeez now

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez Vs Razzaq for the first time.

 

[Lethal]

New batsman Ali Waqas.

 

[Sledger]

Ali Waqas is the new man.

 

[Lethal]

9-2 after 2 overs.

 

[saeed-sohail]

keeper to fielder ball noo thalle mar thalle.

 

[Sledger]

9/2 after 2 overs. Stallions well on top.

 

[Rizwan25]

Test match ka pehla din....

 

[Sledger]

Asif continues, keeping it very tight.

 

[Saj]

Hafeez and Misbah, the key men here.

Sialkot looking really pumped up

 

[Lethal]

Asif continues.

Good ball to Waqas.

 

[prepare]

Mohammad Hafeez's big chance!

Wolves 2 down early on in the final.....Bowlers will include Asif, Rana, Rehman, Malik and Abdul Razzaq......I have a feeling if Hafeez scores big today he will get picked for world cup especially since he is a very good fielder and can bowl restricting off-spin!

Can he step up to the occasion?

 

[gameovais]

Oh god, this commentator is awful.

Looks from the body language of the players in the middle and the team staff on the boundaries, Fasialabad are afraid of a superior outfit.

 

[Sledger]

Another dot for Asif, looks like he didn't appreciate the way the interviewer said he was being spanked with the new ball in the last match's post match ceremony.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Clear nick..umpires are ..

 

[irfan21987]

clear edge not given

 

[Lethal]

Hafeez and Misbah, the key men here.

Sialkot looking really pumped up

Should Misbah have come in before Ali Waqas. Haven't been following this team so don't know when Misbah comes in. But big stage, big final. His team in trouble, should he have come in now?

 

[Inswinger]

Zameer Haider missed the edge. This guy has umpired in some international matches....

 

[Lethal]

Asif on the money so far.

 

[Sledger]

So much for Zameer's international experience.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wolves on the back-font..Hafeez should look to up the rate..

 

[Lethal]

10-2 after 3 overs.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

what an Umpiring?????????????wah

 

[Lethal]

A.Razzaq continues.

1 run to Hafeez.

 

[Sledger]

Waqas doing a Ghani atm.

 

[ShehryarK]

Salam bhaiyo....

Good game.

This Asif knows how to ball, what? Eh?

Shocking umpiring by Zameer - Asif had a DEFINITE wicket there.

 

[Lethal]

Hafeez clips for 2 off his pads.

 

[sanakazmi]

This Abdul Rehman is a good fielder.

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez looking a different player than in the last game against these two bowlers, but hey he can ball and field so get him in the international team. :Sami
