[MIG]

280 to defend and pride to play for Pakistan.

 

[hasanb]

players walking out onto the field now, come on pakistan.

 

[Khabri420]

Need to stick to the basics. No wides/no-balls/misfields etc.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That ball just jumped a bit on Tharanga - Good ball to start with by Aamir

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's bruised a finger I guess the Physio running on

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He needs the magic spray already

 

[hasanb]

Aamir strikes tharanga on the gloves from his first ball, the ball really reared of the pitch there and tharanga requires help from the physio.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Murali out too in the park

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Beauty by Aamir 2nd ball

 

[Inswinger]

Damn. That should have been for Sanga.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Great length from Aamir

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tharanga gone!!!!! AAMIR STRIKES!

 

[hasanb]

GONNNEEE brilliant bowling aamir!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Omar Akmal at slip with the catch!

 

[Inswinger]

Excellent!!

 

[Khabri420]

Aamir you youngsta beauty!!! :younis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You could sense that coming, Well I did atleast!

 

[Inswinger]

c U.Akmal b Aamer

Hope to see many more of that in the future!!!!

 

[karachiite]

Good aggressive captaincy by yk with 2 slips.

 

[dirk diggler]

brilliant start from PAK

 

[Rana]

Aamir you youngsta beauty!!! :younis

i have to laugh with you there :younis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Runs to 3rd man and Mahela off with 2 runs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

137 k's by Aamir

 

[hasanb]

jayawardene off the mark straight away, rather streakily though down to third man. We need to get him out early since hes in good form.

 

[dirk diggler]

nice take that by umar

 

[dirk diggler]

lovely bowling

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good over by Aamir

2 for 1 after 1 over

 

[Juggernaut]

great over from Amir ... Rana needs to back it up

 

[hasanb]

excellent bowling from aamir, great over...2-1

 

[Rana]

lets get this required rate to above 6, that will give us some momentem!

 

[Inswinger]

Rana needs to keep the leash tight.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rana's hair looking good

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good ball to start off with by Rana comes a jag in back to Jaya

 

[Juggernaut]

good first ball to Jayasuriya ... just keep it there

 

[dirk diggler]

Pak shouls appeal for evrything tonite!

 

[Juggernaut]

lbw appeal .... too high?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

LBW Shout by Rana but NOT OUT by Davis

Good ball by Rana

136 k's

 

[rash]

good over by aamer keep the pressure on boyssssssss

 

[dirk diggler]

man that looked out!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was hitting the stumps but probably the height was the only concern there

 

[hasanb]

rana naved doing well by curving the ball into the jayasuriya...that lbw shout seemed out.

 

[dirk diggler]

no chance was that a wide, it shaped away

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That wasnt too wide - Shaped away and wide given

 

[Deewana Mastana]

139.3 k's by Rana

 

[Inswinger]

Ah come on. That wasn't wide.

 

[hasanb]

so he cant see a straightforward lbw, but hes sharp enough to give a harsh wide? pathetic.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Afridi cheering the boys

 

[dirk diggler]

i'm impressed by rana's mane, will have to tell one of my friends who's thinning on top

 

[Rana]

Pak shouls appeal for evrything tonite!

they will certainly get done for excessive appealing, its pakistan!

 

[dirk diggler]

good over by Rana

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just passes the outside edge

Good over by Rana

 

[hasanb]

4-1 after 2 overs, good start this from both rana and aamir.

 

[Rana]

let us know, is pakistan giving the mouth back to the lankis?

 

[WNC]

What the hell was Sanga whining about? He should be the last person to say anything considering he went up for an lbw of a BIG inside edge and got it in his favour and then asking YK to walk when it was clear he didn't edge it?

But Aamer struck, awesome!

 

[Inswinger]

A very bad appeal by the Pakistanis this time.

 

[karachiite]

Aamir getting great lift. Really troubling the batsmen.

 

[karachiite]

overdoing it with the short ball on that occasion.

 

[Inswinger]

What bounce!

 

[Khabri420]

Come on Aamir no need for these wides

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wide again by Aamir

But they have a good body language they look charged up which is good!

 

[karachiite]

Great cover drive by Jayawardene.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mahela strikes a 4 off Aamir it was a good shot

 

[hasanb]

we need to be careful with these extras

 

[dirk diggler]

aamir overpitches, jayawardene drives for 4

 

[Rana]

Great bowling attack today for pakistan, even without Gul

 

[ahmed16]

shot by Jayawardene...pure class.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pulled away for 4 this time

 

[karachiite]

Expecting the short ball on that occasion and rocks back beautifully to put the short one away. Aamir still has a lot to learn.

 

[Khabri420]

Poor bowling from Aamir. Inexperience showing

 

[afridi.rocks]

2 4's in a row

 

[hasanb]

the 2 extra deliveries did the damage.

 

[rash]

come on guys.....dont give any loose balls..... keep it tight

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jaya smacks that over the fielders for 4 runs

 

[dirk diggler]

SL now starting to cut loose

 

[afridi.rocks]

Jayasuriya 4

 

[dirk diggler]

[WNC]

[Deewana Mastana]
