[ZAK]

1 to Umar

 

[Sledger]

50 up, seems like this innings has lasted forever.

 

[ozymandias]

Did you?

But I was being facetious.

Not me.
did.

 

[insaaniyat]

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

Spot on

[Sparhawk]

I looked at the score and i was shocked! All this effort including those two sixes and weve only made 50

 

[ZAK]

1 to Akmal

 

[adarsh_bang]

afridi needs to play to the match situation here...something tells me. . .he will

 

[TalhaSyed]

I looked at the score and i was shocked! All this effort including those two sixes and weve only made 50

[ZAK]

51/4 after 16 overs

 

[Momo]

Not me.
did.

Oh did he?

No wonder nobody took notice.

 

[haizen]

I really really REALLY hope this was 1st match nerves for the two debutants...CENTURY for Hasan against India

effort?

awesome french cut by afridi there.

 

[ShehryarK]

Afridi playing very sensibly so far.

Might just be his day.

But a HUGE ask. The Top 5 have done him no favours, that's for sure.

 

[Poison]

Afridi does not like this Sri Lankan mussalmaan.

[Shaheerthe2nd]

57/4

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

One of those who don't like fawad alam, actually anti fawad, but must admit, he is the kind of player for these sort of matches. He is good in getting 1 and 2 and scoring at strike rate of 60-70

 

[Poison]

) I think Afridi just told off Dilshan

 

[Momo]

I am coming out of the closet. I absolutely love Fazeer Maharoof.

 

[ZAK]

57/4 after 17 overs

 

[Momo]

Afridi giving a valid reason for not going for the second run: "Uska arm achha hai."

As if he does everything for a reason.

 

[Poison]

Sensible cricket from Captain Fantastic so far.

[TalhaSyed]

mashallah so far afridi showing his test skills

 

[ZAK]

1 to Akmal

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

63/4

 

[Strike!]

Both of them playing sensibly.

 

[ZAK]

63/4 after 18 overs

 

[Momo]

Akmal advising Afridi.

One of these days he will learn that that (usually) is a futile exercise.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Single to Lala

smooth

 

[Sparhawk]

Like this partnership

 

[ZAK]

2 to Umar

 

[Sledger]

Everything Afridi's saying which is being caught on stump mic is absolute GOLD! )

 

[Sir john]

Akmal advising Afridi.

@momo what you expecting about match contest.

 

[Momo]

Sensible cricket from Captain Fantastic so far.

And ever so concerned for his charges (who he considers his sons):

"Wo kapra tang to naheen kar raha?"

 

[ZAK]

2 more to Umar Akmal

 

[The Chaudrey]

Firstly, from the youngsters at our disposal, Fawad Alam looks the most impressive but his treatment by the selectors has been really puzzling. Apart from the ODI series in Australia he has never been given an extended run in the team. Look at his performance in that series, along with Umar Akmal they formed an impressive middle-order. Needs to be brought back for the England series.

 

[The Chaudrey]

Is it me or does Pakistan seem incapable of batting 20 overs? Sanga and Jayawardene showed Pakistan what they were missing with their experienced players rotating strike and keeping the bowlers under pressure. Look at our pathetic response.

 

[ShehryarK]

Guys - please don't use this thread to share links, thanks.

It's Pakistan's match (inshaAllah).

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

68/4

 

[Sparhawk]

That slower one was like a leg spinner from maharoof.. unplayable!

Isn't that what Afridi and Akmal are doing?

 

[haizen]

InshAllah a century apiece to Afridi and Umar Akmal

 

[ZAK]

68/4 after 19 overs

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

The magician on.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

murali on

 

[Poison]

Pitch is turning, danger.

 

[hashbb]

It's Pakistan's match (inshaAllah).

InshAllah

 

[ZAK]

Murali comes into the attack.

 

[Sledger]

Murali averages under 20 here with econ. less than 4.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Magician vs Beast.

 

[The Chaudrey]

Maharoof to Afridi, no run, That was a superb delivery!! slow leg cutter from Maharoof, Afridi does not read that, looks to play across the line, Afridi misses, the ball misses the stumps and the keeper collects it. Maharoof can't believe this! That missed the stumps by a whisker!

Afridi needs to take it easy - we have plenty of overs left ! ! !

 

[Eagle_Eye]

whats with akmal and that impulsive late cut against the spinners!!!...

 

[ZAK]

1 to Umar

 

[Sledger]

First stupid shot by Umar there. No need to reverse sweep.

Not really Afridi's fault, credit to the bowler it was an outstanding slower ball.

1 to UA

 

[ZAK]

71/4 after 20 overs

 

[Poison]

First stupid shot by Umar there. No need to reverse sweep.

Especially since its against the turn, and he saw how much it turned when he cut the ball earlier in the over.

 

[Sledger]

Good partnership thus far.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Umar

 

[Vegitto1]

I dnt wanna jinx him, but Umar Akmal looks Ominous for Srilanka

 

[Momo]

The more I see of Farveez, the more I fall in love.

 

[hashbb]

hope razzaq and Kamran fire today, we're going to need'em
