Sri Lanka v Pakistan | Asia Cup: Match 1 | Dambulla | 15/06/2010 | Pakistan Innings

[Momo]

Shahzaib goes. Koi baat naheen. Bacha mulk aur qaum ka naam roshan kare ga. Bohat waqt hai.

Is it Afridi in?

 

[Rizie]

he does look like a lion

 

[Abdullah22]

there goes the improved shahzaib.

 

[Strike!]

why is every 1 blaming shahziab .........r u guys nuts?? he is also playing his 1st odi......give him a break for god sake.......

His 15th.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Next match - open with Akmal and Butt, Amin one down.

 

[ZAK]

In comes Lala

 

[d0gers]

lol at this batting lineup. Are we expecting these guys to perform in Tests in England?

 

[Vegitto1]

Yeah they always bat their openers in the middle order how about a few examples to back up your argument and don't mention Watson he was brought in as an allrounder.

Who said anything about openers? I was talking about batsmen who bat in the top order. which starts from 1 down. i.e. number 3 position.

Even Ricky Ponting was not a number 3 bat from the word go.

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

i can feel the struggle, dont liek saying it but...

 

[Poison]

Well thats the end of Shahzaib's international career.

 

[Sledger]

Afridi having a slog second ball.

 

[adzzy786]

I got work now. but i cant mvoe boom boom is in

 

[haizen]

His 15th.

uh no its his 1st

good try at being cheeky though (Y)

 

[azk]

brave decision by afridi to come in so early. might be a foreshadowing of how he does in tests.

 

[Awesome_Username]

They need to play for the draw.

 

[Vegitto1]

Make or break period for Pakistan.

 

[Momo]

His 15th.

His 15th what?

 

[Poison]

Moral of the story ... bat first in Dambulla lol

 

[ZAK]

1 to Afridi

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

You guys are all being jerks..and harsh towards the two young debutants.

But thats the case for most of the Pak fans.They scream for selection of young talent and when they fail to perform on their first match,they scream curses.

Hypocrisy at the best

 

[Momo]

Well thats the end of Shahzaib's international career.

You spoke too soon.

 

[Poison]

Make or break period for Pakistan.

We're 4-33 in the 14th over, its panic stations not make or break.

 

[azk]

lol at this batting lineup. Are we expecting these guys to perform in Tests in England?

anderson would destroy them if they can't play such bowling. however in tests butt/farhat might stick it out and amin has good technique.

 

[Rizwan25]

Thank god this dasskaraa kid is gone!!!!

He need to go back and join his gaali ki tape ball team. That's were he can play big shots.

I say OFF WITH OUR HEADS!!!

Its not surprising given how poor Shahzaib looks out there. He was out of place. Umar Amin deserves more chances, Shahzaib looked scared.

 

[hashbb]

But lala likes him so we might see him again

 

[Momo]

Moral of the story ... bat first in Dambulla lol

The real lesson is, don't lose toss.

 

[Vegitto1]

We're 4-33 in the 14th over, its panic stations not make or break.

We all know what we only need Afridi and Umar at the crease for 15 overs to win the game. hence make or break.

 

[chill79]

brave decision by afridi to come in so early. might be a foreshadowing of how he does in tests.

sometime such comments make me laugh meray bhai 4 wkts are down ab nahi to kab aayega

 

[ZAK]

Wide

 

[d0gers]

We're 4-33 in the 14th over, its panic stations not make or break.

And the guy we really need in these situations we've decided to leave home. Umar Akmal and Fawad Alam are all too familiar with a situation like this.

 

[Sledger]

200+ runs needed at a run a ball with hit and miss bats left.

Hmm..

 

[Abdullah22]

Rameez is a traitor, it's as if he is singing "Pakistan struggling"

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[strongman123]

six

 

[Sledger]

Afridi hits a sixer.

 

[azk]

oh my. heart in mouth moment courtesy of afridi there.

 

[Momo]

Afridi launches one into orbit. What a man!

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

:6!

 

[Poison]

Afridi I'd like to see a cameo even though this match is nearly a lost cause.

 

[strongman123]

secind six

 

[chill79]

The real lesson is, don't lose toss.

No the moral of the story is players who knows how to rotate strike are much effective than power players : I was reffering to Alam

 

[Awesome_Username]

sometime such comments make me laugh meray bhai 4 wkts are down ab nahi to kab aayega

Yeah the decision was made for him by his top order.

 

[ZAK]

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Another

 

[Boi]

That was a big one from Lala.

 

[talha3]

well looks like afridi going for that 6 record

 

[adarsh_bang]

afridi ! On crease, six ! Looks like the young kids didn't do very much ,and a second six as i type

 

[Poison]

ANOTHER SIX! What a man

 

[Sledger]

What a shot that second six was!

How many till he overtakes Jayasaurus?

 

[Sparhawk]

Those last two shots were so beautiful

 

[Gabbar Singh]

 

[Dr. Khan]

If afridi keeps this up - I might become a fan

 

[Momo]

Afridi is a real he-man! Another one.

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Omg Another!

 

[Boi]

Beast.

 

[strongman123]

lol this innings has more sixes than fours

 

[ZAK]

Another to

 

[ozymandias]

The real lesson is, don't lose toss.

: I told you so.

 

[hashbb]

Afridi Calm down, you can break the record later

 

[ZAK]

1 to Lala

 

[Momo]

If afridi keeps this up - I might become a fan

[haizen]

Boom Boom. Period.

 

[strongman123]

afridi did in 2 ball which shahzaib couldnt do in 33 ..

 

[Poison]

Make or Break Poison

You must know I back the Afridi But I know what'll happen if he gets out now.

 

[d0gers]

Rameez is a traitor, it's as if he is singing "Pakistan struggling"

So what do you want him to say about how a team is doing when it's 50/4 in 15 overs? A flying start?

 

[cric_crazy]

Well thats the end of Shahzaib's international career.

U r worst than pakistani selectors........wt a pathetic statement...

 

[Momo]

: I told you so.

Did you?

But I was being facetious.

 

[Dr. Khan]

Hoping the debutants failed due to first-match pressure.
Have to say, liked the look of Amin till that shot.

Will give 'em another match

 

[Sparhawk]

Your services are not required.

No vacancies

 

[Poison]

U r worst than pakistani selectors........wt a pathetic statement...

Were you watching the game?

 

[TalhaSyed]

how awesome would that team look if you slot it at number 3

 

[cric_crazy]

afridi did in 2 ball which shahzaib couldnt do in 33 ..

now u r comparing shahzaib wid afridi........one has played more than 200 games and one was nervously making his debut.......have some knowledge of cricket and then care to make a comment.....

 

[ZAK]

Single to Afridi

 

[Vegitto1]

surprised tht Umar isnt off the mark yet.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Quick single.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

50 up.
