[Shakil_pkcricket]

Both of them should rorate the stike and not get bogged down against murali...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

[insaftak]

akmal lucky there, sanga missed the stumps

 

[iZeeshan]

Does anyone have a link? I'm desperate.

Please email me at zeeshan 1 anwar @ gmail dot com

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol damn they looked pretty scared out there

 

[the true passionist]

Akmal just blocking everything from Murali...this might not be the best approach against Murali. It allows him to go onto the attack.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

we have batting till no. 10 today.....

 

[ahmed16]

Umar needs to rotate the strike more.

and Alam needs to get runs.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Akmal just blocking everything from Murali...this might not be the best approach against Murali. It allows him to go onto the attack.

He should rotate the strike to disturb the line and length of Murali....

 

[Momo]

Sanga makes a mess of a stumping in his effort to look cool.
lol

 

[sohaibsyed]

thank god they made a mistake

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Come on keep the singles going.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is cricinfo slow on their updates or something?!

 

[coca-cola]

mahela jayawardene and jayasuriya: two candidates for the hottest men alive

 

[adeelsid]

What pakistan needs is grafter.. someone like javed miandad or saleem malik. someone who hangs around. isnt in a hurry to get back to the dressing rom to have chai...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whats the score?

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

I hope U Akmal to score the century today and cement his place in the playing eleven..

 

[IAJ]

Afridi enjoying redbull

[CricnPak]

Haha Afridi drinking Red Bull...sucking in his own juice.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fawad can be the 1 considering his temprament and determination...

 

[coca-cola]

tauseef ahmed, another hunk

[Shakil_pkcricket]

If Fawad and U Akmal score big today....then certainly both of them will have permanant place in the playing eleven.....and at last YK is able to consistantly drop under performing seniors

 

[coca-cola]

issed: i think we know...

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

4 by alam

 

[sohaibsyed]

what was kumar saying to fawad there?

 

[adeelsid]

Fawad can be the 1 considering his temprament and determination...

Yes thats something that impresses me about Fawad. He really wants to be part of the playing eleven.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

U akmal is expected to score a 100 today....

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

135/4

 

[MIG]

U akmal is expected to score a 100 today....

Inshallah!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

runrate 4.76....it would be great if they can continue at this rate till the 43rd over (next 15 overs) and let Afridi and Razzak blast the srilankans.

 

[pak-admirer]

k and u akmal and alam: the three cutest cricketers in the world

 

[coca-cola]

tuk tuk shurro bhai

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Fawad too many dot balls. Pressure building on him.

 

[Sheikh]

Important partnership here, for many reasons present and future.

Will stick to the present: need these two to last at least another 10 overs, going at about 5 an over. That'll set it up very nicely for Afridi and Razzaq.

 

[sohaibsyed]

there seems to be a big gap in communication out there

 

[IAJ]

All of us were talking about how bad Misbah is to rotate the strike and how good fawad is to take those sigles but Fawad is apparantly struggling with rotating the strike.
Maybe red bull will help him?

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

We should give more chances to youngsters in the playing eleven rather than having them in the squad and not playing them....I think credit must go to YK for giving so many opportunities to youngsters (Alam, Ajmal, Aamir, U Akmal...., Nasir Jamshed., Khurram)

 

[IAJ]

Rana seems to have more hair than afridi now

 

[saeed-sohail]

Fawad is over rated.

 

[Sparhawk]

what the heck that was a wide ball!!!?

Umpire asoka looks like hes day dreaming

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Mathews figures....7 overs 1 for 25 ...... amazing how well he has bowlled today....

 

[ahmed16]

This isnt a knee jerk reaction...but from what ive seen of Fawad Alam in the tests and all three odis...he will have a good career for Pakistan...but wont be prolific.

 

[Sparhawk]

Fawad has lost his rythm a little bit. He needs to keep giving the strike to Akmal for now.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Now just keep batting guys. Easy and calm does it.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

U Akmal 21......good going .....keep it up...

 

[cornelius]

Fawad has GOT to stop with the shuffling to outside offstump. he seems a decent bat, dont know why he keeps doing that though.

 

[the true passionist]

It seems that Alam's career will mirror the career of Younis Khan.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fawad struggling to rotate the strike. Umar Akmal might lose patience here

 

[Sparhawk]

This isnt a knee jerk reaction...but from what ive seen of Fawad Alam in the tests and all three odis...he will have a good career for Pakistan...but wont be prolific.

Based on his first class average i disagree. I think he could be one of our best batsmen once he settles into his natural game.

Lets see how he does in this innings, everyone has bad days but some batsmen are better at handling it.

 

[coca-cola]

fawad "tuk tuk" alam

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Not good fawad

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Alam survives lbw shout.....

 

[Ali888]

This isnt a knee jerk reaction...but from what ive seen of Fawad Alam in the tests and all three odis...he will have a good career for Pakistan...but wont be prolific.

well he is more prolific than the seniors like Malik, Misbah and yousuf with a first class average of over 50 and an ODI average of over 50 as well

just imagine how much better he can become with more expereince

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan needs at least 120 runs in the last 19 overs

 

[saeed-sohail]

Fawad is trying his best to take misbah role here.........
Wasting balls.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

260 will be a competitive score....

 

[Usman Chadda]

What the hell?! Somebody go smack Fawad in the shins, he is playing Matthews as if some McGrath is bowling to him. SR of 41 is criminal at this stage

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

U Akmal strike rate 76....

 

[shane]

Fawad is a good player but it is getting depressing watching him bunt everything straight to the infield, especially as Umar is really trying hard to rotate the strike.

 

[iafzal]

Fawad taking his time but he needs to make it up and not get out now

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fawad looks very limited to me
