Tour Game: Pakistanis vs Northamptonshire (Updates)

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Taufeeq is playing. Read the news report.

Great show Northants - come on boys - play like this in the championship!!!

still think AR White should have played.

 

[Toony™®]

I think Taufeeq should have played this match as he is in line to make a comeback.
Gul has picked up a inury? Is that the reason he's not bowled. Or was it that he was in the team just to make up a playing XI

Anyways, 6 bowlers have bowled so far

And why would you want a warmup in the middle of a series??
The response is most of the regular players dont want to play due to fear of picking up an injury )

I think he(Taufeeq) is playing and the lineup with Gul in it is a typo...

Lineup with 6 bowlers in it is too fancy...especially one that aint bowling... if he was injured he wouldnt be named in the lineup unless he picked up the injury on the field within the first hr..which is very unfortunate/unlikely..also he normally is opening or first change.

 

[Toony™®]

afzaal gets his 50.

 

[sneekysneeky]

Nah, just read on bbc, jani and arshad are playing league cricket in England and were brought in, coz half the players didn't want to play, and rightly so.

oh ok...

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

surely najaf should have been brought in then?

 

[iZeeshan]

Najaf would have been a good idea. Where was this report Amit, on Toffy?

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

cricinfo said he was on team. not in scorecard but in a preview or something.

najaf is in stoke.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

250/2

just resumed after tea

[Oxy]

Why are so many thinking that Sami is the answer if tthe Old Trafford pitch is quick?

Sami is now MEDIUM PACE!!!

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

yes oxy i did think that but then came to conclusion yasir arafat is best option.

 

[iZeeshan]

Yasir Arafat also isn't special.

Oxy bhai, Sami was told to bowl medium pace, I am sure of it. I am sure Inzi will change the tactics if he sees the pitch.

Where's Noddy bhai!!!!???

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

sami was told? lol

so on a flat wicket medium pace is better than genuine pace?

 

[yk]

Northants declare on 269/3

Well done and thanks Northants for giving our batsmen a chance to bat, unlike England A.

grow up. Peters actually plays a half decent innings though. Never really seen him play well.

 

[iZeeshan]

So its two for Samiullah, good work. I'm wondering however, if it was luck or if it was genuine good bowling.

So Northampton declare, in attempt to win. Looks liek Pakistan have a full 27 overs to bat. I wanna see Taufeeq and Butt open.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Ganguly didnt fancy the Pakistani attack

yeah rob first time i have seen him bat well lol - he doesnt even get in our strongest side.

 

[yk]

grow up. Peters actually plays a half decent innings though. Never really seen him play well.

Grow up? wat did i say that sounded immature? I was only applauding Northants......u've gone mad.

 

[shan]

outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt Peters gone!

 

[shan]

wow unlike England A they declare

 

[Uzzy]

outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt Peters gone!

You're not very quick are you

 

[aggarwald]

wow unlike England A they declare

That's bad! I wanted to see Ganguly's breakdance :-(

 

[shan]

You're not very quick are you

i know )

 

[yk]

You're not very quick are you

Let the guy express his emotions man......

 

[iZeeshan]

So who opened? Unfortunately, my Crapinfo isn't working so I'll need a little help...plz?

 

[yk]

Salu and imran open

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

charl pietersen the kolpak is opening. isnt the greatest i have to say. we struggle with pace bowlers at northants - maybe because of our pitches - maybe because they are just rubbish!

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

salman out for 4

4 off 4 - ct behind by riki wessels

 

[yk]

Poor Salu, he's struggling HARD CORE!!!

 

[Uzzy]

)

Butt is utterly useless! I have no idea why he is even near the team. The boy needs a time out from cricket.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahha

butt gone first over caught by keeper...woohoooooo drop this great batsmen.......and we thought he had it in him.....his buble has burst...drop him.....he shouldnt touch another bat again......

ahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahaha

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

6/1 after 1.5

dont know who is in yet

 

[yk]

Lol, u lot are out of order to little Salu. He spends HOURS in the nets, always the last to leave, but still struggles. He's got a mental problem i think.

SHOIAB MALIK WHERE R U?????!!!

 

[Uzzy]

Butt has been persisted with long enough. Its time they drop him and bring someone else in.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

18/1 after 4.2

still no word who is at 3

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Salman should declare himself unfit

 

[yk]

Looks like imrans batting on his own, last man standing.

 

[iZeeshan]

LOL! Salman Butt gone for 4. This is just too much. V ery funny though!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Well the full score board says nothing about No3 as yet

 

[inzibhai]

and Imran gone as well..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Let me guess why they declared...Hmmmm Coz Ganguly was afraid to come out to bat against Pakistan?

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

24/2

yk is in

 

[Gunner786]

thats taufeeq umar official for the next test then,
or the miht replace butt with younis and have akmal or faisal opening

 

[Gunner786]

and farhat gone too!!

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

haha good logic afridi fan - northants also have one of the best batsmen in england - hardly a fear factor there.

 

[yk]

Oh dear!!!!

Opening problem still exists then.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

batsmen have 8 but no extras

where does 24 come from

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

boundary off first ball of 7th over

 

[yk]

thats taufeeq umar official for the next test then,
or the miht replace butt with younis and have akmal or faisal opening

Relax, salu and imran will open, at OT

 

[Amoeba]

I thought it was a flat wicket? Our openers plumb further depths.
Butt should be dropped to concentrate more on growing his moustache.

 

[iZeeshan]

LOL This is too funny, Farhat gone also.

Btw, how do we have 24 runs?

 

[Amoeba]

Relax, salu and imran will open, at OT

& that should make you relax?!!!

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

amoeba - wantage road is slow wkt that turns a lot for spinners. hardly somerset or the oval but still good for pakistani batsmen ud think. northants attack is also one of worst in county game.

 

[yk]

LOL This is too funny, Farhat gone also.

Btw, how do we have 24 runs?

Some invisible batsman is on 20, i think its faisal or taufeeq.

28/2 after 6.1

 

[sneekysneeky]

) at the openers... lanat hai yar...

 

[Uzzy]

And maybe get a haircut. Seriously it makes him look like a girl.

thats the answer to opener problem!

 

[Amoeba]

I know - I'd cry if it wasn't so funny.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

mixed feelings for me - im northants fan but want pak to do well.
still this is only a warm up.

 

[lahori@denmark]

we got 20 in bonus score for not including sami in the team...lol

 

[yk]

Taufeq umar is at 3, he's 20 not out.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

good idea for fantasy cricket lol

or else 20 for being brave enough to have him

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Taufeeq On 20 Not Out From 18

 

[yk]

Come On Tafeeq Get Some Runs And U'll Be Playing At Ot.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

) at the openers... lanat hai yar...

Lolz,i like the lanat thing mate


and in between Umer is on 20

 

[yk]

4444444444444 by taufeeq 32/2

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

4 more Taufeeq

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow! Taufeeq giving an impressing! 24 off 20? Thats great stuff. Just hope its not rubbish.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

This is a huge chance for Taufeeq! get a big 100 here and you will be playing at OT

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

taufiq should be in team anyway guys

 

[Uzzy]

taufiq should be in team anyway guys

I agree. But hopefully the selectors will finally see some sense if Taufeeq gets a big one here.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is a huge chance for Taufeeq! get a big 100 here and you will be playing at OT

Said too early i guess mate he is a pakistani player can get out any moment

 

[J-Essence]

is there an audio or video for this game

 

[yk]

4444444 by taufeeq......36/2 taufeeq on 28

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

28 off 21 taufeeq - loving it

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

no media coverage

 

[shan]

again our both openers failed now it's time for Taufeeq

 

[yk]

this 7th over seems to be going on forever

 

[KA$H]

well both openers falling for exactly the same score - they're really gonna be feeling the pressure - best thing that pak can do is assure them that they will play next game - taufeeq here is just goin to exasperate the p[ressure.

personally cant see him doing any better - even if he does score in this game

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

28 off 21 taufeeq - loving it

Me and you both agree about this player my indian friend. I remember you posted something on him when he made a 100 in a domestic game. Plus he is a good slipper.
