Scotland vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Edinburgh | 5/17/13 | Scotland Innings

[Shayan]

So Pakistan reach a competitive 231. I imagine it should be enough with our bowling lineup.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

not really competitive, considering its against scotland. should have scored at least 275 odd, at least should have bashed minnows

Well no, the fact that it's against Scotland IS what makes it competitive!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Well no, the fact that it's against Scotland IS what makes it competitive!

in another context, yes it is competitive. but you never can really count Pakistan out of or in the game until the last over, you never know.

 

[PakHammer]

Well no, the fact that it's against Scotland IS what makes it competitive!

A bit defensive there.

Me thinks you will get more defensive if Pakistan's batting does not improve in the next few weeks.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Well no, the fact that it's against Scotland IS what makes it competitive!

IMHO the first five overs will be crucial
Scottish boys have to score one more run than us, i am not sure about their batting abilities but do think that our bowling line up is much better than what ever they had to offer.

 

[saiyan0312]

guys we can win this..... our bowling is better then our batting. scotland better get ready.

 

[Shayan]

Don't really understand what you mean by that? This score is competitive because I imagine Scotland's batting is weaker than other teams, hence I think we'll defend it.

If we were playing India I wouldn't be as confident!

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

Don't panic. They will start slowly. The key is the number of practice games we have.

 

[bablu_khan]

It is going to be very hard formscotland. You know these associatr nations cant chase easily against good bowling attacks.And if they are about 120-4, I fancy pskidtan to win by 30+ runs. Only way I see Scotland winning is by keeoing wickets and being 190 something for 3-4 down.

[HASHAM2]

Hafeez bowling very well here

 

[Energetic]

I do not understand why the top 6 associate teams do not get to play much Cricket because clearly they deserve to and is only good for the sport overall. ICC (Stupid) say they are 'spreading' the game but really there's not much evidence to support it especially when they at one stage tried to reduce the World Cup teams to just 10 (ridiculous). My view the top 6 associate teams should be part of the ODI and T20 ranking table and play just as much limited overs games as the top teams. This can only be good for Cricket. We already lost Kenya and now Canada but cannot afford to lose teams like Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands and Afghanistan.

 

[saiyan0312]

over midwicket.

 

[HASHAM2]

Four

 

[HASHAM2]

6 runs in Adil last over

 

[parwezzkhan]

looks aadil need time

 

[saiyan0312]

coertz goes by hafeez.

 

[parwezzkhan]

Mohammad Hafeez to Coetzer, OUT, straight ball which he tries to work down the leg-side, gets a thin clip which Karman Akmal takes well

 

[IAJ]

Is this match telecasted?

 

[parwezzkhan]

Mohammad Irfan to Iqbal, no run, dropped!Iqbal goes feeling for the cut outside off, nicked through to the keeper and Kamran shells it diving low to his right, not an easy catch but he should be taking that

 

[saiyan0312]

and kami drops.

 

[saiyan0312]

irfan gets a wicket and its timber.

 

[parwezzkhan]

Mohammad Irfan to Machan, OUT, played on! Good delivery outside off which Machan looks to cut away, but he can only get the bottom edge on to the stumps, advantage Pakistan now

 

[m.shah]

they are playing Adil easily ...seems to be uneffective
