Tasmania v Pakistan | Tour Match | Hobart | 19-21 Dec 09

[Nazir_ Rules]

Umar on 38, 7 boundaries. He is producing a Kamran innings here.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Pakistan 2/110 (26.0)

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Run Rate jumps again, 4.23

 

[sultanator]

I've been thinking, if YK can't make it to Oz, Nazir should go as a number 3. He started scoring heavily after moving lower down the order in the QEA. A quick 50+ will really set things up for the rest of the order.

 

[Random Aussie]

Run Rate jumps again, 4.23

Ah Krejza is bowling.

Not amused

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Ah Krejza is bowling.

Not amused

Another 4!!!!

 

[octavian]

Umar on 38, 7 boundaries. He is producing a Kamran innings here.

U mean an AKMAL innings

 

[sultanator]

AGAIN

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Current Run Rate: 4.40, Pakistan 2/118 (26.5)

 

[Inswinger]

How hard is it for Faisal to rotate the darned strike? Waste of freaking space!!!

 

[McBoom]

Averaging 57 with the bat this season and is an outside chance to play for Australia this summer. Really starting to come on as a player.

Nice to know that. He did came close to playing the 2007 T20 World Cup though, was named in the 30-man preliminary squad but couldn't make the cut.

As I type, Junior is going mental and Bhanja has yet to hit a boundary.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

U mean an AKMAL innings

YEp, i mean what you mean. :akmal :umarakmal

 

[PapaBear]

How hard is it for Faisal to rotate the darned strike? Waste of freaking space!!!

Under no circumstance a strike rate of 37% is justified

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Cant beleive it Faisal Iqbal* 25 from 69 balls, with 0 BOUNDARIES!!!!!!!!

Strike RAte, 36.23

 

[Random Aussie]

Might think about making them bat again.....

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Kreja gone for 5 runs so far in this over, still one ball to go

 

[sultanator]

50!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

And Umar Brings up his half century, off 47 balls

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Mashallah well played Junior sahab!

 

[Inswinger]

Might think about making them bat again.....

Its our batting that needs the practice. Although we need some catching practice as well.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

1 wide, followed by 3 runs for umar.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Over 28.3: Drew to Akmal, three runs, full, angles the bat and runs it to deep third man
Over 28.2: Drew to Akmal, wide, bouncer, very short and very high

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Pakistan 2/129 (28.3)

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Current Run Rate: 4.53, it just keeps going up, and im lovin it!

 

[d0gers]

Akmal's run out. maybe Fawad Alam will get a knock in.

 

[sultanator]

 

[itduzz]

Akmal run out

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

damn iqbal, he ran akmal out!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Over 28.5: Drew to Iqbal, no run, OUT, glides straight to gully, inexplicably the batsmen take off for a single, Krejza throws down the stumps with Umar well short of his ground

 

[sultanator]

THAT WAS ALL FAIL'S FAULT issed:

Umar should've said no and got rid of the snail.

 

[d0gers]

damn iqbal, he ran akmal out!

and you deduced that how exactly? seems like Umar was running to the danger end so it would've been his call.

 

[saadjhussain]

misbah scores 1 against a domestic side. seriously enough's enough. i'm sure he'd still play though, we're the only team in the world that has players in the team to catch in the slips. how pathetic.

 

[d0gers]

Over 28.6: Drew to Alam, no run, played back down the wicket, Drew gathers in his follow through and fires back at the stumps striking the batsman in the back, he is quick to apologise

Ouch!

 

[saadjhussain]

THAT WAS ALL FAIL'S FAULT issed:

Umar should've said no and got rid of the snail.

umar akmal just stands around and only decides to move his ass when the other player begins to run. it's his own fault for not learning. i hope waqar's told him what to do

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

and you deduced that how exactly? seems like Umar was running to the danger end so it would've been his call.

Over 28.5: Drew to Iqbal, no run, OUT, glides straight to gully, inexplicably the batsmen take off for a single, Krejza throws down the stumps with Umar well short of his ground

 

[sultanator]

Seriously, Fail should just retire. Yeh, from the game, the sport and LIFE.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

challo, iqbal bhi out!

 

[itduzz]

Fail out

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

And the infamous collapse begins...............

 

[d0gers]

Over 28.5: Drew to Iqbal, no run, OUT, glides straight to gully, inexplicably the batsmen take off for a single, Krejza throws down the stumps with Umar well short of his ground

and your point is? it says batsmen, so both of them were involved. and it was played to gully so the closest end to the fielder was the striker's end, which was where Umar was running, so it would've been his call.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

WOW! Abdul Rauf is batting, i expect Saeed Ajmal to come in next, with kamran comming last.

 

[saadjhussain]

misses a cut shot and hits the stumps? *** was he thinking trying to cut a ball so straight?

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

and your point is? it says batsmen, so both of them were involved. and it was played to gully so the closest end to the fielder was the striker's end, which was where Umar was running, so it would've been his call.

Challo, both out, baat kattam.

 

[sultanator]

umar akmal just stands around and only decides to move his ass when the other player begins to run. it's his own fault for not learning. i hope waqar's told him what to do

It's Iqbal's fault for taking the run, he's on strike, he hit the ball, he has a better view.

 

[Shah]

umar akmal just stands around and only decides to move his ass when the other player begins to run. it's his own fault for not learning. i hope waqar's told him what to do

That's right. In the 3rd NZ test, U. Akmal was standing at the non-striker end leaning on his bat and not moving forward with the bowler's release of the ball. W. Younis was quite upset while commentating.

 

[Random Aussie]

Its our batting that needs the practice. Although we need some catching practice as well.

True but winning is a good habit.

 

[shane]

Two handy dismissals there for Pakistan. Umar Akmal did not need the batting practice and Faisal Iqbal has hopefully ensured that he will play no more test cricket. Now let's hope Alam can take advantage and make a big score.

Agree, now that waqar is the coach, should tell him to fix that problem.

 

[d0gers]

It's Iqbal's fault for taking the run, he's on strike, he hit the ball, he has a better view.

sultanator bhai, it's always the batsman running to the danger end who makes the call. in this case, Akmal, who showed in the NZ test series that he doesn't back up at the non-striker's end. hopefully this run out will be a wake up call.

edit: mean to say non-striker's end.

LOL! Should play waht he is best at, HONG KONG 6's!

 

[sultanator]

I think Rauf's sitting out the whole tour, so Kami's keeping him happy by letting him bat a while, it's the only time he'll get to play after all

 

[shane]

I think the normal rule is that, if the ball goes in front of square then the striker makes the call. Otherwise, it is the non-striker's call. Of course that is not to say that this is the way that every batsman does it.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Over 30.4: Drew to Alam, one run, punches into the covers, takes off for a single, Cowan swoops on the ball and fires at the bowlers end, ball bouncing over the top with the batsman well short of his ground

Another chance was there.

 

[d0gers]

i think they need to pick 2 out of Faisal Iqbal, Fawad Alam and Misbah. because we need a number 3 and a number 6. i'm gonna guess Misbah will miss out, bhanja will go in at 1 down and Fawad Alam at 6.

 

[saadjhussain]

hmmm, gul only got 5 overs in this warm up match to gain some form, i wouldn't be surprised if they've had enough of him which is why they've sent rauf in to gain some batting form

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

I think Rauf's sitting out the whole tour, so Kami's keeping him happy by letting him bat a while, it's the only time he'll get to play after all

WEll, in that case, make the most of it.

I guess so. Thank you for the polite explanation

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Rauf hits a 4!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Over 31.5: Krejza to Rauf Khan, FOUR, drives through covers, poor misfield from Doolan

 

[saadjhussain]

Rauf Khan with a cover drive )

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Current Run Rate: 4.27

[Geordie Ahmed]

Fawad Alam only made 2 - I guess thats Misbah playing in the 1st test

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Rauf Khan with a cover drive )

Lol! yep! i think he watched kamran in the first innings, and now umar. :akmal :umarakmal

 

[Random Aussie]

Scorecard has lost the plot

 

[sultanator]

FAIL is back in with 9 runs and Fawad is out?????????
Can you say confuuuussseeeddd?

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

THey still show Faisal Iqbal as the batsmen. lol!

[saadjhussain]

Lol! yep! i think he watched kamran in the first innings, and now umar. :akmal :umarakmal

let's hope the akmals are careful when they play at the MCG though

 

[d0gers]

whoa what happened there?? all of a sudden Faisal's batting with 12 off 84 and Fawad Alam's out bowled.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Its TeA!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

let's hope the akmals are careful when they play at the MCG though

Yep, inshallah!

 

[shane]

you're right, and that's what i said as well, the batsman running to the danger end makes the call. if the ball is hit in front of square, it's usually the striker's call because the non-striker's end is the danger end. and behind square, the striker's end becomes the danger end so the non-striker makes the call. in this case the ball was played to gully, which is behind square, so it would've been Akmal's call.

I would add to this that the reason for this rule of thumb is because, when the ball goes in front of square then the striker has a clear view of ti and is able to make a proper call. When it goes behind square then the striker will normally need to look around, or behind, in order to see where it went and this may eat up a precious second or two.

 

[d0gers]

Cricinfo says it's 132/4 in 31.0 overs.
Faisal Iqbal 27* (76 balls)
Abdur Rauf 0* (2 balls)

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Allright guys, im off, its getting late here. Shabba Khair!

 

[Khabri420]

Poor stuff from Fawad

 

[sultanator]

Game over apparently

And with the tea break comes the end of the game with both captains deciding to call the game off, the final result being a draw

 

[161]

according to cricinfo faisal is still around with 27 from 76

 

[Random Aussie]

Good showing from Pakistan

 

[shane]

Alright so it looks like Alam was the one dismissed rather than Iqbal? That's very disappointing. Im a big fan of Alam but, assuming that the scorecard is now correct, he really is not doing himself any favours at all.
