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

[ZAK]

gets his hundred. Well played Lala!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Momo]

What a century! The best innings I have seen in a while!

What a specimen Captain Qalandar is!

 

[azk]

Popeye the Sailor has his second third and fourth gears missing. So it's either slogging (which I love) or else thuk thuk (which I abhor).

that thuk thuk fest saved us in that 39 for 6 test match )

 

[Sir john]

that is 100.
welldone.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

fanstastic know. one of his best. go on mashallah!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Gongrats lala got 100

 

[azk]

surely afridi's best odi innings? or maybe if he carries his bat through or ensures the win.

also loving these sedate celebrations first from shoaib and now afridi. keeping their heads down until the job is done.

 

[pakmania]

100 ! Well done Afridi.

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

Wow!

One of the best hundreds in odi history.

lol bit of an over statement but terrific innings none the less.

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

What?? Batsmen always have a runner for cramps. . Remember Anwar 194? ,Its when u carry an injury into a match you are not allowed one

Rules have changed since 1997. There was a big issue with Graeme Smith (last year i believe) where he wasnt allowed a runner and the reason given was that he was suffering from cramps (which doesnt qualify as an injury)....it's an issue of not having good physical fitness

 

[Poison]

Why does Sanga not want to give him a runner?

 

[Da Best]

48 needed. Afridi gets 100, now can he beat his highest of 109?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

196/6

 

[Poison]

Oh well he'll go numb soon, insha'Allah

 

[ZAK]

1 more to Afridi

 

[ZAK]

196/6 after 40 overs

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Congrats to Afridi

Seems like the captain stepped up when needed - good stuff

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Wide.

 

[bantu]

Afridi 100...........captain's knock...........Can he finish it off now?

 

[ZAK]

47 needed off 60 balls

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

Sahibzada Beastullah Ball Biter Afridi Khan well played

 

[Da Best]

His last century was against India 5 years ago.

 

[Momo]

that thuk thuk fest saved us in that 39 for 6 test match )

True. But the trouble is, this is not 'that 39 for 6 test match'. :younis

 

[asifp]

Play Murli out. DOnt lose your temper

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Sanga what a cnut

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[Desi]

LOL Ball up Afridi down.

 

[strongman123]

...the beast has no LIMITS

 

[azk]

afridi. what a champ. he can barely walk out of his crease and still manages to plaster murali.

 

[saj001]

i think sanga dont know kay,...Zakhmi sher bhi khatarnak huta ha

 

[Poison]

Six for Afridi ! This man is a collosus!

 

[asifp]

Allah na kare koi major injury na ho

 

[adzzy786]

No Afridi No :'(

 

[dilojaanpakistan]

murli is gone out again..

afridi is in pain

 

[adnan yasin]

6666666666666666666666


he is in pain .. man ... y arent he callig for runner.. y he is taking so much risk ... next series behe hain ..

 

[GQ]

Well played Afridi. Leading from the front!

 

[Da Best]

46 needed of 10 overs. Easy from here on in, IF they these two are still there.

 

[Sledger]

This is an absolutely EPIC innings.
Someone needs to make a montage of this one with a nice soundrack.
One legged six with a collapse halfway down.

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Shooot! What hapepned Afridi?

 

[pakmania]

A movie will be made about this innings, what drama!

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

afridi raping himself.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

monster 66666

 

[MB]

He's been eyeing every single Murali ball with glee.

 

[ZAK]

 

[Momo]

Afridi hits one out of the ground and falls down for the count! )

 

[Abdullah22]

Afridi please don't die. I'm serious.

 

[Poison]

Play Murli out. DOnt lose your temper

He is on last legs, only one option now.

 

[asifp]

Get a RUNNER

 

[adnan yasin]

yaaar tuu sher hai par ... runnner bulaa. dont stretch ur legs

 

[Seen Sheen]

What?? Batsmen always have a runner for cramps. . Remember Anwar 194? ,Its when u carry an injury into a match you are not allowed one

Remember graeme Smith incident?,he was not allowed a runner by Strauss for cramps..And umpires gave complete discretion to Strauss to decide about it..

 

[Da Best]

Even a cramped Afridi can hit a six, wonder if he still needs a runner....

 

[uzy99]

Afridi should probably go off the field for a bit. Boys need to get their fitness level up.

 

[Boi]

 

[Gotham Cronie]

This is the 4th most balls faced by Afridi ever.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Monster hit from the beast and he is down again.

 

[pakmania]

Who says ODIs will die ? This is what cricket is all about not racking up 300s.242 is more than enough

 

[asifp]

this not getting a runner is a joke.

 

[ZAK]

2 more to Afridi

 

[GLORY OF '92]

lol bit of an over statement but terrific innings none the less.

How? 32/4 and taken murali to the cleaners at one of his favourite grounds.

 

[On_the_up]

havent been following the game that thoroughly, has afridi been refused a runner?

 

[asifp]

Who says ODIs will die ? This is what cricket is all about not racking up 300s.242 is more than enough

TBH Srilanka innings middle period was so boring

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Most balls he's faced in an ODI in 9 years.

 

[azk]

lol @ movie ideas. sanga can be the typical moustached villain.

damn afridi out.

 

[strongman123]

out

 

[pakmania]

Cmon,gotta take advantage of the spinners.

 

[akamaka]

Goneeeeeee

 

[Momo]

Legendary comment by cricinfo:

40.2 Muralitharan to Shahid Afridi, SIX, A hobbling limping Afridi hits another six! what a champion. And he goes down to the ground. He rushed down the ground and crashed it over long-off. One would have thought with this condition, he wouldn't have risked going down the track but then this is Afridi. This is Lalla He does things differently

 

[strongman123]

matched his highest score

 

[ZAK]

Wonderful innings by captain awesome!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Razzaq better step up and take Pakistan to victory or drop him for life.

 

[pakmania]

Oh damn.

 

[Desi]

Geez I don't remember the last time he's scored 100. Can he beat his highest score of 109?

 

[Poison]

Afridi goes for 109; brilliant innings. Razzaq and the tail need to finish it off now.

On a side note, beauty from Murali to get him.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Afridi gone!

 

[Gunner786]

hes gone now!
damn!
powerplay tiime!

 

[adnan yasin]

that was a Reallly good delivery and a fantastic catch to get rid of him ..

 

[Boi]

Noooooooo!

Top innings though. Loved every moment. Hope the tailenders keep their cool now and win it.

 

[bantu]

Afridi out after a stellar innings........... cramps/tiredness getting the better of him
