West Indies v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Gros Islet | 25/04/11 | Pakistan Innings

[NJamal]

Misbah comes to bat

 

[CrickFan]

Mr.Afridi does not have one experimental bone inside his body .Same predictable batting line up

 

[Hamxa89]

Let the rrr go till 8 now and then Misbah will wake up

 

[pakistan_pride1]

tuk tuk will make this match interesting

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

nice one bro

we are so impatient..when we used to have batsmen that would just get out..we used to cry stay on the wicket..now that they are implying ourself..and toughing it out...its "boring"

on a side note...WI fielding good!

WTH WAS THAT!

True.... Not sure why Misbah was sent in....

Umar Akmal isnt going to learn anything in the hutch!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

His figures seem decent. Picked up a wicket which is good. mmad

Yep looks good! Heard he got carted in the last over that was given to him for a few in which a 6 came too! But a good start for the yougster mmad

 

[Hando]

Well atleast Shezad has a chance to score a 100, Mibah not gonna score

 

[JibranAnsari]

why can't we change the batting order?

 

[Looney]

Misbah will make this game more interesting - he will sleep until we need 88 off 39 balls

 

[NJamal]

Misbah off the mark

 

[pakistan_pride1]

good stuff from tuk tuk

 

[CricketBuff]

Shahzad to be blamed for this Shafiq run out. Stupid calling and then backing out !!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

hope misbah gets out soon

 

[pakistan_pride1]

finally they show lala

 

[NJamal]

134/2 after 34 overs

 

[Fireworks11]

Hope Misbah looks at the RRR.

 

[sam]

Afridi doesn't even have pads on. Hammad slated to come in next, then?

 

[syd_pak]

all relax....!!!

you all sound like its a big surprise! chill out

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah will be looking to score and not Tuk. Mark my words!

 

[NJamal]

Roach back

 

[pakistan_pride1]

roach in

 

[Badsha]

Shehzad will rip Roach now.

 

[Kray_jackson7]

Mr.Afridi does not have one experimental bone inside his body .Same predictable batting line up

What do you suggest? He throw in the new guys and get hammered for making their first innings so tough? Im sure if the situation was right for it they would have been pushed forward but right now they is pressure building so it is the right decision to keep them away and try finishing the game without having to push them in at the deep end

 

[attock]

Don't know but ever since the last few years we get proper ages.

That's what I've heard from a lot of people.

Acha didnt know about the test..........so he is actually 19......

 

[sam]

Shahzad to be blamed for this Shafiq run out. Stupid calling and then backing out !!!!

More than that, Shehzad to be blamed for getting out Shafiq and getting in Misbah.

Criminal.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Roach back on as W.I need more wickets.

 

[Badsha]

Misbah is showing more intent that Shafiq was.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

What do you suggest? He throw in the new guys and get hammered for making their first innings so tough? Im sure if the situation was right for it they would have been pushed forward but right now they is pressure building so it is the right decision to keep them away and try finishing the game without having to push them in at the deep end

Best thing would be to send Umar Akmal in....

he needs to be trained up.....

 

[attock]

Umer should have come in

 

[sam]

Misbah is showing more intent that Shafiq was.

You mean more intent to get the RRR to 8?

 

[Badsha]

Acha didnt know about the test..........so he is actually 19......

That's what I heard.


I heard the new Generation of players are of the correct age.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Umar should've been sent in ahead of Misbah...MBA already had a good outing in last match...

 

[Boi]

Misbah to get the RRR up to 9...

 

[pakistan_pride1]

hit some boundaries

 

[NJamal]

136/2 after 35 overs

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 2/136 | 35 Overs | Need 85 runs to win from 15 Overs

2 off the over!

 

[attock]

Best thing would be to send Umar Akmal in....

he needs to be trained up.....

100% agree let him get trained to situations like this as he is our future...aah well captain has got different ideas...

 

[Hamxa89]

Poor tactics by Pakistan. This is risky stuff. Sending in Misbah will up the rrr and if, god forbid, a wicket falls; panic will set in.. You cant expect youngsters to guide you home then.

Send in Umar.. let him play his natural game.. He'll score a quick fire 40 and ease the runs to ball gap.. Even if a wicket falls then; Misbah can guide us home.

 

[Cosmic]

tuk tuk 1

 

[Badsha]

If shehzad keeps batting this way we'll most probably win the match but I want to Shehzad attack for my own entertainment.


He's also milking the spinner now which shows it's not that he is capable of doing that.

 

[Khan6575]

This is where Afridi lacks thinking on his feet, Umar should have came ahead of Misbah even if he got out you had Misbah to consolidate and rebuild the innings. Poor stuff from Afridi. Now a lot of pressure will be on Shehzad to increase his scoring rate and same thing will apply to Akmal.

 

[pakistan_pride1]

pakistan trying to make it interesting

 

[CrickFan]

What do you suggest? He throw in the new guys and get hammered for making their first innings so tough? Im sure if the situation was right for it they would have been pushed forward but right now they is pressure building so it is the right decision to keep them away and try finishing the game without having to push them in at the deep end

Did not realize that Umar Akmal was playing his debut series ..and it might be a better idea to try out players in more important matches like a semi-final of the World Cup

 

[Cosmic]

I think afridi Daughter should be as manager of this pakistani team

 

[Fireworks11]

Pak need to learn the PP.

 

[pakistan_pride1]

wat a shot

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 2/140 | 36 Overs | Need 81 runs to win from 84 balls

4 off the over!

 

[NJamal]

140/2 after 36 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

81 needed from 84 balls now.

 

[sam]

This is where Afridi lacks thinking on his feet, Umar should have came ahead of Misbah even if he got out you had Misbah to consolidate and rebuild the innings. Poor stuff from Afridi.

If Umar gets out, Misbah will come in and freeze dead and Afridi/ hammad won't be able to overcome the Misbah effect.

 

[Badsha]

Pakistani advertisements are lame and cheasy

 

[iRfaN_LA]

game on now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

i feel for bechara umar akmal, his talent is being ignored. poor chap.

 

[tahir_dj]

wow is shazad doing GAVASKAR>>??

 

[pakistan_pride1]

good looking shot but well supported in the deep

 

[NJamal]

4444444444444 by Misbah

 

[Badsha]

Take that Misbah haters.

 

[pakistan_pride1]

[Watsupdoc]

Pakistani advertisements are lame and cheasy

What are you talking about? They are the best thing on TV! after cricket of course!

 

[Amjid Javed]

lovely wristy flick for 4 by misbah.

 

[pakistan_pride1]

welcome boundary woooooooooo :444444444444

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

If shehzad keeps batting this way we'll most probably win the match but I want to Shehzad attack for my own entertainment.


He's also milking the spinner now which shows it's not that he is capable of doing that.

I think you have hit the nail on the head there....

People want attacking cricket for entertainment purposes.... (and so do I)

But what people need to realise is that there are times when its better for batsman to tough it out... it results in more wins.

 

[Foozee]

this match is soooo boring

 

[Khan6575]

If Umar gets out, Misbah will come in and freeze dead and Afridi/ hammad won't be able to overcome the Misbah effect.

Misbah would have no choice but to go for it otherwise he will probably lose his place.

 

[attock]
