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

[babu]

Shehzad Strike Rate : 47
Hafeez Strike Rate : 50

 

[NJamal]

37/0 after 12 overs

 

[Badsha]

Shahzad is one boring batsman. Pretty awful s/r this guy places at.

He can fix his strike rate in one over.

 

[Noman]

ball not coming on bat

 

[babu]

Required Run Rate is almost 5 now.

 

[cricfan4ever]

if this was an Australian or South African attack, we'd have lost 2-3 wickets already simply because of openers getting frustrated at lack of boundaries...they simply can't milk the 1s n 2s...

 

[iHammad]

get a move on!

 

[Badsha]

Showing some intent at least.

 

[Rizz Khan]

Single.

 

[Munna]

bowlers are not giving the openers a room :vicky

 

[NJamal]

almost Run Out

 

[PakistanCricketForever!]

Taking some singles now

 

[Badsha]

Nice dive. Commitment!

 

[Rizz Khan]

Good Single.

 

[Badsha]

If our openers get 50. I'm happy. I'd take this start almost every other game. Except. In 10 overs. Not 13.

 

[PakistanCricketForever!]

Get misbah on! He will speed up the rr

 

[Statsman]

Atleast smash Sammy. The guy needs to be shown the door.

 

[mon858]

this is the difference b/w our current batting line-up and players like yusuf and inzy, who could keep taking ones and twos to start the innings, which would not let your run-rate go down to 3/over and build pressure, while you were getting set without taking risks.

our current crop of batters generally only knows 2 modes:
-> hit fours and six
-> defend.
-> once in a while take a risky single or take one of a shot where there should've been 2.

 

[Markhor]

Mr Pakistan

 

[Rizz Khan]

Pakistan 41/0 After 13 Overs.

 

[NJamal]

41/0 after 13 overs

I agree big time.

 

[Theo_14]

This approach from the openers is quite similiar to the one in the opening World cup match - except this time... Both of them haven't given their wicket away cheaply.

 

[Markhor]

PAK 41-0 | 13 overs

48 balls since last boundary

 

[Badsha]

Take some singles!

 

[Markhor]

 

[Badsha]

[Rizz Khan]

 

[iHammad]

 

[saajidrox]

[Theo_14]

Hafeez switching his gear to 6 from 2 - top stuff!

 

[PakistanCricketForever!]

51 runs from 80 balls

 

[Pakistani93]

50 partnership up

 

[Looney]

the crowd did not even cheer that 6

 

[NJamal]

50 up for Pakistan

 

[Badsha]

Now relax. You've got the runs this over. Just take a single if you can. DON'T LOSE YOUR MIND.

 

[Markhor]

Partnership of 51 off 80 balls.

 

[Strike!]

Hafeez woke up it seems.

 

[PakistanCricketForever!]

Ahmed shezad for test captaincy

 

[Munna]

youngsta beauties on fire

 

[Markhor]

the crowd did not even cheer that 6

Bit like the Mohali crowd when it comes to silence !

 

[A.M.]

back to back 50 partnership for these two

 

[Badsha]

What is Bishop on about? Hafeez didn't even bowl that much in his early days.

 

[Theo_14]

Shehzad seems more composed and mature - let's hope he can keep that up.

well said...Saeed and Sohail were the same, not only did they know how to hit boundaries but they knew the importance of rotating strike as well...

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

He can fix his strike rate in one over.

Or he could get out in one over.

He's been in there for 50 balls. He shouldn't be going at a s/r of 50 now.

 

[pakistan_pride1]

[PakistanCricketForever!]

Sammy bowling faster then India phast bowlers

Good over for Pakistan!

Bishoo v Shehzad - tough time for Shehzad ; Round 2!!

 

[PakistanCricketForever!]
