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

[Osman]

for an average cricketer Matthews sure is cocky

 

[xkalibur80]

Imran still is our top scorer...lol

Doesn't take much to please you does it

 

[Waseem]

Razzaq is in, Misbah would have taken too long to settle so good decision.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

btw Pak should not play the scoop shot. only teams like SL who don't have many power hitters need that shot.

 

[Waseem]

2 runs off the first 3 balls
Need a boundary in this over

 

[Usman Chadda]

6 wickets in hand and 27 balls to go. Definitely should go all out now

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

well if you understand cricket then what are ur thoughts about our strong bating lineups performance against the SL in the first 2 test matches and also in ODI's. I would pick Nazir on those shaky legs any day. At least we r not wasting balls

your post is off topic and contradictory. We are talking about scoring runs without giving a lot of chances.

So that you know, in tests it is OK to waste balls!

 

[Waseem]

WIDE!!!!!
No more bouncers allowed.

Come on Afridi, a slower bouncer is coming

 

[waqar_ahmad]

180 looks really hard to get now.

 

[Rudi hater]

Doesn't take much to please you does it

No when we so many crappy oppeners Imran is a legend compare to them he scored 40 more than the rest...lol

 

[Muhammad]

6 wickets in hand and 27 balls to go. Definitely should go all out now

Must make they don't give chances, or benefit from umpiring decisions, they will have to give those runs back, they won't count.

 

[Gollum]

Razzaq has to justify his inclusion by batting till the end.

 

[Waseem]

4444444

What an intelligent shot by Afridi

AMAZING

 

[Mohsin]

Great shot lala 444444444

 

[GLORY OF '92]

180 is on 52 off 27

 

[cricketpassion]

[Gollum]

[GLORY OF '92]

[Usman Chadda]

OH MY GOD! That was an insane shot from Afridi! Flick of a wrist and away the ball flies!

 

[Big Mac]

haha what a ****ing shot, I'd break my wrists if I tried to emulate that

 

[Mohsin]

3 T20 50 in a row!

 

[Waseem]

Afridi 50 in 35 balls
What is the world coming to??

3 consecutive 50's by Afridi

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan 139/4 in 16 overs

 

[Rudi hater]

May be you have not seen Imran bat in the last WC T20 in SA. He was our one of the best batsmen. Imran is like Afridi you got understand. He will score you quick runs on his day. T20 is made for him.

 

[Osman]

this guy is something else!!

 

[Inswinger]

Priceless look on Sanga's face!!!

 

[cricketpassion]

well played afridi 50

 

[aamir]

Shahid Afridi fifty in the first game as captain. InshAllah with many more 50 plus scores to come!

 

[Gollum]

If only we had Afridi 2.0 five years ago....how many tourneys could we have won?...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 T20I 50s in a row. Take a bow Captain.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Imran still is our top scorer...lol

No his batting ave. today was 10! 3 chances + out.

 

[JeeraBlade]

OH MY GOD! That was an insane shot from Afridi! Flick of a wrist and away the ball flies!

You mean he does hit some sane shots also?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Gollumbird i reckon we would have won them all

 

[Mohsin]

Afridi gone!

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Afridi gone, shiiitt

 

[Gollum]

Well played Afridi. Good inning.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Thushara is very lucky to get away with that full toss

Another full toss and Afridi smacks it straight to the man at long-off

Pakistan 139/5. Well played Afridi!

 

[Waseem]

Afridi caught for 50

Rana to come, we can still score 40 runs.

Misbah coming in, i hope he doesn't take 4 overs to warmup

 

[aamir]

And out but job very well done.

 

[Inswinger]

Now it's up to Razzler to keep the RR up. Rana should be in ahead of Misbah.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Fawad wellwisher get a grip eh. Wake on the wrong side or what? the guy got us off to a good start. get over it.

 

[Osman]

and Afridi gone .... but a great knock!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Oh damn. Misbah is in. 170 ki chutti ho gai

 

[Inswinger]

I would rther see Rana at this satge.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Misbah getting the Fawad treatment here. Comin in at #7!

 

[Waseem]

3 balls without a run
Come on RAZZAQ, you have to get at least ONE boundary

 

[GLORY OF '92]

22 balls 40 runs

 

[Usman Chadda]

Why Misbah, would much rather have had Rana!

 

[Gollum]

Chaloo...the rest of batsmen...keep the momentum going!

 

[saeed-sohail]

misbah is under pressure needs a strong finish here.........

 

[Usman Chadda]

Need to get to 170 somehow!

 

[Gollum]

Not a single convincing stroke from these two!

 

[Osman]

need some big hits from Razzaq here

 

[Usman Chadda]

28 runs from 18 balls. Simple equation really

 

[Rudi hater]

No his batting ave. today was 10! 3 chances + out.

Yeah, you are being childish. Fact is that they wont go by your stats but official stats which is 40. )

 

[GLORY OF '92]

should get at least another 30.

 

[Waseem]

Only 5 runs in last 8 balls

Come on guys!!!!!

 

[Inswinger]

Come on fellas. Can't be lethargic now.

 

[Waseem]

Misbah needs to take risk as he is better against spinners but he is no mood

 

[GLORY OF '92]

man need more than singles now.

These 2 are half asleep most of the time.

 

[aamir]

Man do these guys know there are only 4 overs left.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lazy cricket from Misbah and Razzaq. Should have put more pressure on the fielder!

 

[Mohsin]

OK Misbah's the spinners player....start sloggin!

 

[Waseem]

LUCKY 3 runs but good to see Misbah at least showing intent

 

[saeed-sohail]

com,n misbah n Razzaq we need 180 here.........

 

[Mohsin]

Good running!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

kulas over will have to go for 20.

 

[Usman Chadda]

150 up for Pakistan. 1 ball to go in the 18th over

 

[Mohsin]

151-5 with 2 overs to go

 

[Waseem]

Now there should be no excuse for Razzaq, he needs to launch some SIXES in the stands.

 

[undisputed]

2 overs left , would like 175+

 

[Rudi hater]

I am glad Fawad is not playing. He would have wasted too man balls like he did in the ODI he played in.

 

[Waseem]

2 runs off the first ball
Where is that boundary???

Come on!!!!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Yeah, you are being childish. Fact is that they wont go by your stats but official stats which is 40. )

Which answers your question why the selectors will select him for the next tour as well. Like you they really don't the in depth analysis but instead go with misleading stats!

Please continue to deceive yourself!

 

[Inswinger]

Sending Misbah ahead of Rana could be the difference b/w 165 and 180.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Kulasekara back into the attack

Razzaq chips the ball over the covers for 2 first ball

 

[Mohsin]

Razzaq shud enjoy Kula, full medium pace

 

[Waseem]

Hhahaha
What a miss, misfield for FOUR
