Warm up game: Pakistan -vs- Sri Lanka Cricket XI

[observer1]

Bring Asif and Akhtar back.

Do it.

Asif is finished. Live with it.

Akhtar will struggle to bowl his quota in a T20 let alone a test match.

Once again people on this board go nuts.

It's a warm up game.

This team is fine. Though personally i'll have Afridi in place of Kaneria anyday.

even a third (1/3) fit akhtar is better then anything else pakistan has!!!

 

[Uzi]

Razzaq and Malik's place in the test team is very much debatable. I personally wouldn't have picked them.

Afridi pulled out of the tour otherwise I would have picked him in Kaneria's place.

 

[Savak]

If this the first Pro Akhtar statement i have ever seen you make?

 

[IMMY69]

lol, i was going to add, 'but forget that because he's not even 1/100 (one one hundreth) fit!!!

sorry savak, you wont get any pro akhtar statements from me....

 

[IMMY69]

Razzaq and Malik's place in the test team is very much debatable. I personally wouldn't have picked them.

Afridi pulled out of the tour otherwise I would have picked him in Kaneria's place.

malik is a 100pct certainty as far as i'm concerned...

 

[*sallu*]

very discouraging sign that not only have we managed to pick only 3 wickets but conceded almost 270 runs in 65 overs.

Having said that this attack is without Gul and Younis Khan was trying things. Lets not paint the whole picture from just the warm up matches. Remember most of us had written of the team after the t20 world cup warm ups as well and the rest is history

 

[Inswinger]

Take it for what it is, a warm up match.

 

[who_dares]

304/3 after 75 overs

 

[who_dares]

new ball due in five overs

 

[who_dares]

something called Gihan Rupasinghe is in coz Kapugedera seems to hurt himself

 

[taqi]

afridi is much better option even in tests then keneria
keneria start finding his line right after 50 overs

 

[who_dares]

^
^

so they should try Danish right after 50 overs...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Our Premiere Spinner Mr Danish Kaneria is going about 5 runs per over (4.77 to be exact).What a Champion he is.

And then he wants to play in Pakistan's ODI and T20 side.

Are you kidding me?

 

[Khabri420]

I hope this match is the only one Kaneria plays in. Unfortunately that probably won't be the case

 

[who_dares]

I hope this match is the only one Kaneria plays in. Unfortunately that probably won't be the case

Unfortunately there is no backup of him in the current squad..

 

[ataullah]

kaneria getting hammered

 

[ataullah]

kaneria should b sent to terry jenner for a year

 

[ataullah]

328-4

 

[ataullah]

ajmal bowling more economical

 

[Afridi_Fan]

OMG Kaneria gets one more wicket and secures his spot for the entire series )

 

[ataullah]

why hasnt aamer had a bowl today? maybe being saved for new ball

 

[ataullah]

oh no kaneria is equal to warne now

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hang on, the 2 batsmen are still playing, so who is out?

Is it one of cricinfo old mistake?

 

[who_dares]

why hasnt aamer had a bowl today? maybe being saved for new ball

new ball is due but is still going with spin

 

[ataullah]

no declaration yet?

 

[Khabri420]

Kaneria is going for 5 runs per over. I am sure our part-timers could do better.

 

[ataullah]

Nice to see aamer not being over bowled like zahid was

 

[ataullah]

*Saeed Ajmal (ob) 23.2 4 69 0 2.95 (0nb, 0w)
Danish Kaneria (lb) 19.0 2 95 1 5.00 (2nb, 0w)

 

[who_dares]

OMG Kaneria gets one more wicket and secures his spot for the entire series )

even if he doesn't get any wicket his position is still secured ) ) )

 

[ataullah]

kandamby playing very patiently

 

[Afridi_Fan]

OMG Kaneria gets one more wicket and secures his spot for the entire series )

I am sorry Mr Kaneria I credited you a wicket, when the Batsman was out Retired Hurt.

Please accept my apologies.

 

[ataullah]

331-4

 

[who_dares]

i think retired "hurt + practice match = out" (according to cricifo)

 

[ataullah]

can kaneria get another wicket?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Kaneria nearing his well deserved hundred.

 

[ataullah]

seems like a very flat pitch

 

[Khabri420]

can kaneria get another wicket?

sure he can - only if he bowls another 40-50 overs.

 

[ataullah]

332-4 with kaneria reaching a century

 

[ataullah]

sure he can - only if he bowls another 40-50 overs.

its worth it for him...no?

 

[Khabri420]

Kaneria nearing his well deserved hundred.

great strike-rate as well! what a find this man has been for Pakistan!

 

[who_dares]

I am sorry Mr Kaneria I credited you a wicket, when the Batsman was out Retired Hurt.

Please accept my apologies.

your appologies accepted, he got wicket of someone called Tharanga

 

[ataullah]

OMG..3 runs of the latest kaneria over...his confidence is getting back

 

[ataullah]

kaneria zindabad

 

[ataullah]

kaneria shud become a seamer

 

[who_dares]

OMG..3 runs of the latest kaneria over...his confidence is getting back

he already bowled 2 maidens but i don't know how much that cost

 

[Khabri420]

Maybe Kaneria is focusing more on his batting now - his bowling is just a bonus

 

[Afridi_Fan]

your appologies accepted, he got wicket of someone called Tharanga

That was yesterday, I was reffering abt today where I went wrong.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Afridi_Fan]

OMG Younis is biased he didnt let Kaneria complete his 100, alam into the attack.

 

[Khabri420]

Younis Khan decides to replace Fawad Alam with Kaneria. Will this prove to be costly?

 

[who_dares]

OMG Younis is biased he didnt let Kaneria complete his 100, alam into the attack.

kaneria should take retirement for this ) )

 

[Khabri420]

OMG Younis is biased he didnt let Kaneria complete his 100, alam into the attack.

Politics

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Rauf comes on.

cheers mate

 

[Savak]

What was Qadir's or Mushtaq Ahmed's average by the end of their career's?

 

[Khabri420]

...and the SL XI declare their innings at 345/5

 

[who_dares]

23.24 for and 25.67 for mushy

 

[who_dares]

...and the SL XI declare their innings at 345/5

y ?? atleast they should have waited for dani to complete his century.. lankans are not showing game spirit here

 

[Xoib]

Rauf outbowls Aamir

 

[who_dares]

good for Abdur Rauf he outbowls the quality bowler, well done

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Well Now lets see what Mr Butt does, will he be able to replicate his test form from T20.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt Sahib hits a boundary.

 

[Savak]

Kaneria has the worst average out of all of them. Qadir has an avg of 32.8 and an eco rate of 2.71. Mushtaq has an avg of 32.97, an eco rate of 2.92 and our beloved Kaneria has an avg of 34.87, eco rate of 3.01. Funny thing is that Mushie has a strike rate of 67, Kaneria 69 and Qadir 72.

But still somehow based on how poorly Kaneria has performed in the last 3 years since the tour of England and the fact he always get 4-5 wicket hauls for 150-200 plus runs, i just dont believe he deserves to be mentioned in this league at all let alone being mentioned next to Warne.

Very Well Said Savak.

 

[siccric]

So do people think Rauf should be selected ? He got two caught behind wickets

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Khurram hits a boundary.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt Sahib ka aik aur Choka.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Aik aur by Butt Sahib.

 

[siccric]

Salman Butt is turning it on
Hope he finds some kind of form.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt is batting much quicker than he was in T20 WC.

 

[who_dares]

i think he is not feeling well

 

[Afridi_Fan]

He was in amazing test form during T20 WC.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i think he is not feeling well

Or he is playing for a spot in next T20 side.

 

[insaftak]

can someone tell butt that this isn't 20/20

 

[Afridi_Fan]

can someone tell butt that this isn't 20/20

He should know that by himself by looking at his own strike rate.

 

[Xoib]

Yup Aamir should not be risked in this series bowling in SL during July is pretty exhausting. We lost Zahid due to the same reason, Amir should be handled carefully he's 17 his timew will surely come.
