[Poison]

5 sixes so far, and 1 four.

 

[Da Best]

5 left to break the record, but i'd rather he calm down and win the game for us

What's the record?

 

[azk]

they should see off malinga.. no chances against him .

^this. i was hoping umar would farm the strike when malinga came on and maybe repeat one of those amazing sixes against him but

 

[adnan yasin]

single single ka game hai ... pressure already been taken off ..

 

[Gotham Cronie]

[Momo]

Afridi targetting the 'weaker' bowlers.

The weaker bowlers have heavy bodies and scary eyes (+eyebrows).

 

[ZAK]

1 to Kamran

 

[Gollum]

Afridi playing well, Kamran needs to play the anchor role now. Just rotate the strike and give maximum opportunities to Afridi.

 

[adnan yasin]

bad shot by afridi ... come on yaar ..

 

[Poison]

Sahibzada lucky, shouldn't try to pull anybody.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

[Gollum]

bad shot by afridi ... come on yaar ..

can't afford to lose another wicket, wickets are more important than runs atm

 

[adnan yasin]

AFRIDI should see the scoreboard... single single . hai yar ..

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Can Kamran and Razzaq do a 3 November 2009?

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

We need a real good partnership, May Allah Help the Pakistani Team, and may they help themselves as well ameen!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Almost threw it away..He should keep this in mind that Murali is bowling from the other end..

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

WHAT????..OMG I thought Afridi was out!)

 

[Momo]

Afridi is heads and shoulders above anybody in Cricket. In all sport actually!

 

[Gollum]

lets hope just a lapse in concentration...CONCENTRATE!!!

 

[adnan yasin]

can't afford to lose another wicket, wickets are more important than runs atm

exactly .. he should see the score card.. see off thee best bowlers

 

[Poison]

This is heart in mouth stuff; what a contest between Murali and Afridi.

 

[talha3]

they say double the score and wickets at 30 overs to get the score. by that theory, it should be a tight game.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Lala

 

[Gollum]

Afridi is heads and shoulders above anybody in Cricket. In all sport actually!

sometimes i think you are making fun at the expense of Afridi...

 

[azk]

Afridi is heads and shoulders above anybody in Cricket. In all sport actually!

[Seen Sheen]

Murali has got the beating of his life today....

 

[Momo]

Murali's privacy has been invaded so many times that there is talk of giving Afridi official permanent quarters somewhere.

 

[ZAK]

A Huuuuuuuuuuuggggeeee by

Single to Kamran

 

[KingKhanWC]

Murali goes for a forth time. 6

 

[Abdullah22]

Afridi playing like a batsman today.

 

[Momo]

27.6 Muralitharan to Shahid Afridi, SIX, 85.8 kph, Monster hit! Shahid Afridi is da Boss! He is tonking Murali today.. This time he rushed down the track and lifted it over wide long-on boundary.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Afridi only four sixes away from equal the record of most sixes!! What a beast.

 

[Cover Drive]

Single taken by Afridi

 

[Poison]

Afridi is tiring, I think if we get another 40 or so with this pair we'll be right in the game.

 

[ZAK]

Another single to Afridi

 

[adnan yasin]

this .. 60...70 will be waste of an innings.. if AFRIDI out in this fashion gifting his wicket...

 

[Cover Drive]

Afridi leading by perfectexample. Taking many chances himself etc

MashALLAH

 

[Strike!]

Kamran needs to keep rotating the strike.

 

[bantu]

This is the afridi fans want to see......... Is there enough runs for him to reach his 200 ??
He likes SL bowlers very much.........

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

133/5

 

[Gollum]

Kamran Akmal is doing good...playing second fiddle to Afridi

 

[strongman123]

afridi has earned the respect of his team mates with this knock...

 

[iZeeshan]

This is some innings by Afridi.

Would love to see him get a 100

 

[Poison]

Murali has gone for 42 off 5 overs, including 4 sixes.

 

[ZAK]

Kamran keeps the strike

133/5 after 29 overs

 

[Sparhawk]

This is the best ive seen Afridi play in a long time, love it!

 

[Momo]

"Sangakarra not wasting time with Muralitharan." :shastri

 

[Strike!]

Kamran playing a test innings.

 

[Dr. Khan]

The best thing has been that he has been looking to hit straight

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

i wonder if sarfraz nawaz and MR Dasti have already booked interviews"THIS MATCH IS FIXED"lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How's it going lads?

 

[Dr. Khan]

Got a question, what is Kamran doing

 

[Poison]

Kamran playing a test innings.

Not like we need 10 an over, so all is well. He just has to get set.

 

[ZAK]

Kamran is getting bogged down.

 

[iafzal]

Refreshing to see afridi play such and inning, last time was WC 2009

 

[akamaka]

Kamran playing a test innings.

he knows afridi can finish this is 40 balls, thats why!

 

[ZAK]

Single to Kamran

 

[Eagle_Eye]

444

 

[Ali888]

you can see why these match-fixing comments follow akmal around

pathetic innings being played, stealing the strike at end of overs

very suspicious

 

[MB]

Kamran playing a test innings.

There's no need for him to take risks. The run rate isn't the problem right now .. the wickets are. He's playing a very good supporting role for Afridi.
