Score thread - Aus v ROW (2nd odi)

[yk]

Nice to see you're still capturing the spirit of a World XI..

SPIRIT??!! What spirit???

I don't care what happens in the series, all i'm worried about is our Boys.

Infact i'd rather have the aussies thrash the World XI, so that gavaskar hangs himself.

 

[Billy]

Well likewise.. but I wouldn't laugh if Shoaib pulled his hamstring.

Well, I'd try not.

The thought would be there at least.

Unless he rolled around a bit anyway.

 

[yk]

Well thats poor and shocking!!!.....How can u laugh at one of our lads??? Don't u care about Pakistan Cricket, or don't u realise Shoaib is the key to defeating the English.

When he went of today after only 5 overs, to get his knee strapped, I nearly had a heart attack!!!

May Allah protect him in cotton wool, during this 'super series', so that he may deliver for us against England.

 

[Big Mac]

I'm sure I lipread Pietersen saying "cramp" when he pulled up anyway, I think he'll be fine

 

[Billy]

No, I'm pretty sure it's an injury that will keep him out of the last game and maybe a week after that. It isn't long term at all though and he will be totally fit for Pakistan.

I think it's contagious as well so Fred might not be able to play in the super test.

*crosses fingers*

 

[alghazzali]

Sehwag proving us all wrong about his inclusion so far. But Afridi is still more destructive

 

[AT1]

sehwag out

 

[Amir]

Sehwag proving us all wrong about his inclusion so far. But Afridi is still more destructive

You were saying?

 

[alghazzali]

You were saying?

Mods, delete that post pleeeeeease!!

 

[Amir]

Erm why? Find something offensive?

 

[alghazzali]

Afridi would have scored the quickest century today.

 

[alghazzali]

Not your comment Amir. Mine about Sehwag's inclusion.

 

[Amir]

Should have sent out Lara at 3, because we need to continque scoring fast and i am not sure if Sangakarra has the ability to do so.

 

[Saqib]

Great delivery by Brett Lee, the ball rised and the batsman was in 2 minds defending or playing the poolshot no footwork, ball hitted the handel an easy catch for Ponting.

By by shewag, it will be clear now that Afridi will play in the 3rd match, because after teh World XI has played 2 matches the spinners have done the best job so far. The fast bowlers couldn't get the run rate low.

It gives for Pollock 3 spinners, + Afridi has done very well against ponting,damien,symonds.

 

[yk]

HAHAHA Sehwag gone....Happy Slap gavaskar!!!

 

[Officer Barbrady]

Knowing Pollock we'll probably see Kallis in next.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

shez, have u found out who is showing it in the UAE?

YES I HAVE TESNSPORTS! They will show the 3rd odi live and the test only. And the highlights of the 1st and 2nd test on sat.

 

[whyhkk]

Gayle isnt that bad wacking a few 4s and a 6

 

[yk]

This could be a classic run chase, if world XI can get a few partnerships going.

(I hope i haven't spoken too soon)

 

[Billy]

Dear Santa,

For Christmas I would very much like Chris Gayle to become an England player.

Thankyew, Billy

Great post!

'Thats his Fiftyyyyy'...says Tony Greig, WHAT a classic commentator!!!

 

[yk]

Kumarrr Sangakarrrrrrrraaa.....Hatrick of fours

 

[pakistani_banda]

world 11

118/1 15 overs have been bowled

 

[AT1]

what good players i tell you, sangakara and gayle.

gayle with the unorthodox shots and sangakara showing brilliant class

 

[yk]

Still neck and neck...211 needed of 210 balls (35 overs).

 

[alghazzali]

It's a good partnership. You wouldn't think they could 'gel' so well together in the middle.

 

[AT1]

and another four by sangakara

 

[pakistani_banda]

4 by sangakara!!!!!!!!!

 

[alghazzali]

Still neck and neck...211 needed of 210 balls (35 overs).

It should be easy with the line-up to come - Lara, Pieterson, Flintoff. As far as Dravid and Kallis are concerned, me thinks they can only lose the match from here.

 

[pakistani_banda]

i think world 11 has a chance if these 2 guys jam jayee (dont get out) .....just keep on batting like that.............

 

[pakistani_banda]

123/1 16 overs

 

[alghazzali]

GayleOut!!

 

[AT1]

gayle out, wide delivery, chased after it only to find a nick to be caught be gilchrist

 

[alghazzali]

Well hope Lara comes out now.

 

[AT1]

and in walks kallis..
i think it would have been a better idea to have put lara in and keep the momentum going

 

[pakistani_banda]

kallis is the next batsman

 

[alghazzali]

Kallis strike rate will be the main cause of Sangakkara's dismissal.

 

[alghazzali]

SangaLara and Gayle's Partnersip 125/2 (16.1 ov); Partnership: 98 runs, 12.0 overs, RR: 8.17

 

[AT1]

good 50 from sangrakara

 

[AT1]

50(38)

 

[pakistani_banda]

50 for sangakara

 

[pakistani_banda]

man these guys r risking their wickets...by taking their chances by doing these runs.....

 

[alghazzali]

HAHAHA! They put the power play on for Kallis.

 

[hasan316]

Lara should have come now. kallis will get out soon. Kallis is a very slow and boring player

 

[pakistani_banda]

sangakara OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Amir]

not also did he slow down the rate, he ran out the man in form and on song Sangakarra, what a dolt!

 

[AT1]

OMG st\upid kallis

sangakara run out, kallis should have given up his wicket cuase sangakra was on good form and was playing amainzg
kallis is on rubbish form and he plays slowly where sangakara was playing quick

 

[hasan316]

kallis is the biggest ________ in the world. got his partner runout.

 

[Raz]

Kallis should have been run out. He should have sacrificed his wicket. But then again he will never do that will he?!

BTW, Hi all. Im back home from uni now.

 

[alghazzali]

Lara should have come now. kallis will get out soon. Kallis is a very slow and boring player

I don't know of anyone who'd like to watch Kallis bat. Dravid is different, once he's set, he can be very aggressive. You'd be lucky to get more than 6 runs from Kallis in an over.

 

[pakistani_banda]

that kallis ........sangakara got out..........................

 

[yk]

SANGAKARRRRAAA....despatches symonds for 6...and then gets out

 

[alghazzali]

makes me sick!! Also what's the point of having Dravid if he's to come in at 6.(Gavaskar)

 

[alghazzali]

Kallis trying to lose as usual.

 

[alghazzali]

Kallis - Another biased inclusion.

 

[Raz]

Hope Lara gets a biggie now.

 

[Pathan007]

kallis nucklehead he should've gotten out. he is just losing the way for W XI to chase. pathetic strike rate.

 

[Raz]

Kallis - Another biased inclusion.

Agree with you there. With Pollock as captain there was no way he was going to or is going to be out of the team.

 

[Pathan007]

Sanga was playing so welll as USUAL.

 

[hasan316]

ME TOO. The Prince is here

 

[Pathan007]

now the run rate gonna come down to 5

 

[Raz]

Thats like the millionth time Kallis has found the fielder.

 

[Pathan007]

i hope kallis gets out. he's missing the balls. MAiden over to say the least. really selfish batting from kallis

 

[Pathan007]

last 2overs 3runs. HAHA they r really trying to win ehhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Raz]

i hope kallis gets out. he's missing the balls. MAiden over to say the least. really selfish batting from kallis

To be fair to him he is trying to thrash the ball around but he isnt managing to find the gaps. And Lara gets dropped now by Gilly. How costly is that going to be!

 

[hasan316]

yaar thank God drop hogaya.

 

[Pathan007]

lara got dropped not kallis

 

[Pathan007]

these 2 are really playing crap . no wonder they call it W XI bcz of some selfish ppl in it

 

[yk]

Just look at that run rate drop!!!

 

[Raz]

Lara out! Caught in the covers by Symonds. BIG WICKET this!

 

[Pathan007]

last 3overs 6runs. and the run rate keeps dropping down

 

[AT1]

i think we should put our hands together for kallis as he gout sanga out, playing slowly and just being himself!


lara just got out

 

[pakistani_banda]

OUT!!!!!!!!! lara at 5

an easy catch................. caught by symmonds.....

 

[Pathan007]

lara played crap in both innings. AFRIDI would've been far better choice then the OLDER lara. who seems to be nowhere near his game since he is getting old

 

[Raz]

Kallis may be out here

 

[pakistani_banda]

dravid in

 

[Raz]

Yep hes gone RUN OUT!

 

[hasan316]

game over i will go and sleep.

 

[yk]

What HAS happened to Lara???
