[LegCutter]

Result of the game?

If Lanka wins the toss, then we can call of the match and give them the trophy.

 

[LegendAli]

If Lanka wins the toss, then we can call of the match and give them the trophy.

so true.

 

[talha3]

It was a joke but there was some seriousness in it.

If we lose the toss, we have very little chance of winning.

 

[Poison]

Relax guys we're going to win.

 

[LegendAli]

Still no feed from ATN, what is going on?

 

[khalil1986]

Relax guys we're going to win.

I usually share your optimism and still do somewhat but that last performance was just

Unless we restrict them to below 200.

 

[Poison]

Pakistan regularly show up when it matters ... butts will get kicked if we lose this series and nobody wants an ass-kicking

If we bowl first we'll chase around 180ish to win
If we bat first we'll defend 240 or so.

 

[talha3]

Win the toss, no excuses this time.

[cricketpassion]

PK won toss/batting 1st

Thanks .So Inshallah we will win the match as well

 

[LegendAli]

Unless we restrict them to below 200.

Which never happens hence his quote.

 

[Asif321]

Younis khan out imran farhat
ajmal rested sami in

 

[waqar goraya]

younis out for farhat

 

[khalil1986]

Toss won

 

[talha3]

SAMI in FOR AJMAL AND FARHAT FOR YOUNIS

Please tell me this isn't true.

 

[Poison]

Big selection decisions there ... it looked like Ajmal needed a rest so that's fair enough but the YK dropping is big, could be his last ODI series.

 

[LegendAli]

OMG!! NOO!! AJmal rested? for what???

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I hope hafeez scores othrwise i honestly believe he is not a captani type player. I rather let shoaib malik captaincy then him.

 

[thecricket]

Please tell me this isn't true.

True it is

 

[talha3]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Younis out
Sami in
Ajmal out
Farhat in

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I would have drped gul for sami and rehman for ajmal.

 

[talha3]

Wait, does this mean Hafeez won't open?!!?

Maybe it's not such a bad move.

 

[LegendAli]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Younis out
Sami in
Ajmal out
Farhat in

This.

So happy Younis is gone, wooo might actually throw a party.

 

[Asif321]

wht happned to misbah ) saed ajmal is left out i cant belive
younis should have been dropped for sami that was enough

 

[waqar goraya]

ajmal

 

[cricketpassion]

Ajmal out :

 

[waqar goraya]

wht happned to misbah ) saed ajmal is left out i cant belive
younis should have been dropped for sami that was enough

i believe its a whatmore call

 

[Amjid Javed]

Younis Khan is "rested due to his form" (Misbah will make a good politician, looking at his skill for not using the dreaded word, but sending the message across).

-----------------

Should never play ODIs again!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Farhat and Sami in.

So whose going to open?

 

[waqar goraya]

Wait, does this mean Hafeez won't open?!!?

Maybe it's not such a bad move.

imo akmal again will be sent at 6....

 

[lahoriyah1234]

koi baat nhi ajmal ko bht phnti pade rhi thi, no need for him to play wen he is not being threatning.

 

[Asif321]

Rameez and Waqar very much Unhappy with ajmal being left out

 

[Pakistaniboy]

They are resting Ajmal for the tests.

Good move since this ODI is useless.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Umar Akmal should have been dropped , terrible this series.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

farhat and hafeez to opn azhar at 3

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Maybe they are trying Hafeez lower down the order.

I hope so and they should send Umar at 3

 

[JilaWatan]

Umar Akmal should have been dropped , terrible this series.

for who?

 

[waqar goraya]

Umar Akmal should have been dropped , terrible this series.

so you wanted to play with only two batsmen.....ridiculous

 

[Pakistaniboy]

farhat and hafeez to opn azhar at 3

So good, we can have 0/2 then

 

[kamran_uk]

Waqar just said they should have dropped the keeper but Ajmal

 

[JibranAnsari]

farhat and hafeez to opn azhar at 3

Misbah is losing his captaincy touch...

 

[Poison]

Umar Akmal should have been dropped , terrible this series.

Took us home in the 1st ODI, got a terrible decision in the 2nd, 3rd was washed out and failed in the 4th ... what've you been watching?

 

[Asif321]

Cricinfo :
Younis Khan is "rested due to his form" (Misbah will make a good politician, looking at his skill for not using the dreaded word, but sending the message across)

 

[JilaWatan]

ten cricket's coverage is horrible. their screen aspect is all EFFED up

 

[TaZ]

Farhat and Sami in.

So whose going to open?

Id rather Sami opened the batting instead of Farhat. He is the definition of tried and tested failure. Useless.

 

[JibranAnsari]

so you wanted to play with only two batsmen.....ridiculous

Yes let's play 7 bowlers , batsmen are useless anyway :ahmed

 

[saajidrox]

Dark skies. Weather the only factor to be worried about for now

 

[Poison]

Lol at Weerakoon, takes 600+ first class wickets, gets 1 international cap and then gets dropped.

 

[waqar goraya]

So good, we can have 0/2 then

liked that

 

[JibranAnsari]

Took us home in the 1st ODI, got a terrible decision in the 2nd, 3rd was washed out and failed in the 4th ... what've you been watching?

4 balls duck , can't play anything outside off of a fast bowler.

 

[TaZ]

Should have dropped sarfraz. Got Umar Akmal to keep and then played Ajmal as well.

 

[waqar goraya]

4 balls duck , can't play anything outside off of a fast bowler.

no one can my friend...

 

[kamran_uk]

Should have dropped sarfraz. Got Umar Akmal to keep and then played Ajmal as well.

said something on the same lines as I have mentioned above

 

[Ismailtoca]

waqar tearing into Pakistani batting line up

 

[Asif321]

lets hope its farhat and azhar opening not again hafeez

 

[waqar goraya]

Should have dropped sarfraz. Got Umar Akmal to keep and then played Ajmal as well.

this could prove a shocker

 

[Hassan0987]

I think Hafeez and Azhar will open, with Farhat at 3 and Shafiq dropping down to 4

 

[Poison]

4 balls duck , can't play anything outside off of a fast bowler.

Got 3 bumpers and fished at one outside off from two very good bowlers ... seriously do you want Bradman every match? It was effectively his first failure on tour.

 

[TaZ]

this could prove a shocker

Why? Dravid did it. We need a keeper who can bat and sarfraz isnt doing anything

 

[talha3]

Hafeez still opening

 

[Hassan0987]

Wow, Hafeez and Farhat opening

 

[LegendAli]

Result of the game coming up in 5 mins.

Talha bhai confirmed the results, let's see if he's correct.

 

[talha3]

Azhar not opening

 

[talha3]

Talha bhai confirmed the results, let's see if he's correct.

Let's hope so.

 

[qamar84]

and farted farhat damad ji opening

 

[Asif321]

hafeez opening again )

 

[VTEC]

Hafeez and Farhat are opening

 

[Poison]

Azhar not opening

Probably a good thing, Azhar will end up at 3 if all plans go well.
