Sri Lanka v Pakistan | T20 | Colombo | 12/8/09

[Usman Chadda]

Another slog by Imran. Gets an inside-edge down to fine-leg for 2

 

[immubhai]

Afridi, the captain, walks in. What a sight , Nazir at one end and Afridi on other...cant wait to see more 44444s and 666666666

 

[Mercenary]

Replays show Malik was unlucky, ball kept a little low

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Afridi take it easy for a few ball please.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Malik can play run a ball innings like he did in WC08. Doesn't get a big score when he starts sloggin!

 

[cricketpassion]

great shot by nazir

 

[Mohsin]

WHAT A SHOT!

threaded through!

 

[pak4life]

4 pure timing!

 

[Usman Chadda]

OH WHAT A SHOT! Read the slower one from Kulasekara! Placed the ball between the fielders for a four!

 

[Big Mac]

That's a beautiful shot, hopefully Nazir will realise that he doesn't need to take a baseball swing every ball when he can time the ball like that.

Judging by the next ball I guess he won't learn anything

 

[cricketpassion]

good yorker but well played by nazir

 

[cricketpassion]

66666666666

 

[Mercenary]

Brilliant stop by Imran Nazir after running down the track

 

[undisputed]

Nazir Six!!!!!!!

 

[Mohsin]

What A Shot!!!

66666666666666666666666666666666666666666

 

[Usman Chadda]

HIT HIT HIT! SIX! Charges Kulasekara and deposits him over mid-wicket!

 

[Big Mac]

hahahahahahahahahaha there's the only man in YK's faction

 

[Inswinger]

Not many batsman could have stopped that yorker from getting through. Especially after walking down the track.

 

[Mohsin]

Younus Khan we miss you!

 

[JeeraBlade]

Injecting momentum into the innings especially with that 1 over and gone to a good ball which kept low.

I was just joking.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan 48/2 in 5 overs! What a start

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Our batsmen move about too much. Still head is the key to big shots.

 

[Mercenary]

Kamran still in his pads watching the game, he knows he doesnt want to miss this batting

 

[Usman Chadda]

I heard something, definitely edged that

 

[GLORY OF '92]

need to get 180 from here. that will be very tough to chase.

 

[Mohsin]

Malinga gonna get Nazir i think, Nazir just losing it a little now

 

[Osman]

Nazir and Afridi in .... Razzaq Misbah Akmal Rana still to come .... that is some batting line up for T20

 

[Inswinger]

3 lives for Nazir. Needs to make the most of it.

 

[Usman Chadda]

He has surely got to connect one!

 

[Big Mac]

Wow, how much luck can Nazir get?

 

[12thMan]

5.1
Malinga to Imran Nazir, no run, appeal for caught behind, the short one by Malinga catches Nazir by surprise, came onto him really quickly, went for the pull, got a thin edge straight to the keeper, there's a huge appeal but the umpire is unmoved, wrong call

 

[GLORY OF '92]

malinga bowling quick. if imran can last this over......

 

[Usman Chadda]

Finally connected, raced off the bat but well fielded by Udawatte

 

[JeeraBlade]

3 dot balls. Nazir may get impatient and get out.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Nazir needs lives to survive. The guy has so much talent but no brains.

The good thing is that cry baby sanga would be in a mess right now coz of the wrong calls

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 dot balls. Nazir may get impatient and get out.

Don't think he cam swing harder

 

[Usman Chadda]

Malinga bowling well

SL have been lucky Nazir hasn't been able to connect any pulls that he has played so far

 

[sehsan]

patheic batting to be honest, cant believe it. Pakistan is lucky they havent lost more then 2 wickets at this time. Just dont understand why you have to hit every ball. Imran is good timer and he should time the ball rather then hitting out of the park.

 

[undisputed]

Boy this is exciting!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Shocker! Afridi left a ball in T20 match!

 

[12thMan]

Captain's innings so far by Afridi

 

[Rudi hater]

Another life for Nazir thanks to the umpire.....

You make your own luck mate.

 

[Mohsin]

Powerplay over................Nazir will probs be on his way now

 

[immubhai]

Afridi 0 off 3 balls? unbelievable

 

[Mohsin]

444444444444

Sanga appealing as usual

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

3 lives for Nazir. Needs to make the most of it.

Remind me. How many lives does a cat have?

 

[Rudi hater]

everyone is praying for Nazir's dismissmal...lol nice supporters we have.

 

[norman1979]

a team full of afridi's

 

[Usman Chadda]

Murali on. Nazir sweeps him for four first ball!

 

[pak4life]

patheic batting to be honest, cant believe it. Pakistan is lucky they havent lost more then 2 wickets at this time. Just dont understand why you have to hit every ball. Imran is good timer and he should time the ball rather then hitting out of the park.

lol yaar your getting confused with test matches this is wwf fun cricket

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Nair deserves some luck....so do we.

We get more than our fair share of bad decisions.

 

[Rudi hater]

Remind me. How many lives does a cat have?

So and your point?

 

[undisputed]

afridi nervous as captain, but this is T20 just slog and have fun

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sharp turn! Afridi gets an edge and gets off the mark

The ball is really turning

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Afridi what will he do now....

 

[Rudi hater]

Afridi sahib is not his normal self.

 

[Mohsin]

56-2 after 7

Things quieting up, pressure building

 

[Osman]

Umpiring around the world is of a horrible standard right now

 

[Usman Chadda]

Thushara back into the attack

 

[GLORY OF '92]

afridi getting his eye in.

 

[Rudi hater]

Afridi got life there.

 

[12thMan]

Sharp turn! Afridi gets an edge and gets off the mark

The ball is really turning

6.4 Muralitharan to Shahid Afridi, 1 run, appeal for lbw, spun back in sharply from a good length outside off, Afridi failed to read it well, missed it and was rapped on the pads in line with middle and off, given a run when it was nowhere near the bat, an extremely close call, Ashoka de Silva the man in the hot seat

 

[Mohsin]

Educated slogs please

 

[Usman Chadda]

Afridi 2 runs off 6 balls

 

[GLORY OF '92]

aleem daar simon taufel only class umpires who are reliable.

 

[Mohsin]

If this was anyone but Afridi, people would be going crazy by now!

 

[Usman Chadda]

This pitch is more than helpful to the bowlers. The short ball is really taking off at times!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Educated slogs please

Educated Slogs --- An oxymoron!

 

[xkalibur80]

Both Afridi and Nazir benefitting from some dubious umpiring decisions. Nazir should be no where close to this team....if you need 3 chances to score 40, you are better off playing in the ICL. Go back Nazir

 

[Mohsin]

Surprise surprise OUT!

 

[tauseefm]

Nazir goneeeeee

 

[norman1979]

bubbye nazir

 

[Big Mac]

Three strikes and you're out for Nazir

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Afridi clearly under pressure

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nazir gone for 40. Connected decently but couldn't clear the boundary

Pakistan 59/3 in 7.5 overs

 

[12thMan]

Current partnership 24 runs, 3.5 overs, RR: 6.26 (Shahid Afridi 3, Imran Nazir 20)

 

[Inswinger]

There he goes.

 

[saeed-sohail]

nazir gone

 

[Mohsin]

Too Many Big Hitter Coming In!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

damn. need a good 50+ partnership now.
