Smith to open Should take the new ball..........

i dont think misbah will change his tactics just bcz he got devon 4 out of five times.

 

[Sledger]

Covers coming off.

 

[fumaster]

Covers are off, looks like game starts soon

Awesome - thanks!

 

[Kianig89]

Raining cats and mouse teams going back to hotel..............#kidding

 

[Sherlock]

Smith is opening?

Does that mean Gayle will come lower down, if so it's ingenious.

Whats the update on weather conditions. raining heavily or is it just a passing shower?

Heavy but probably a Passing shower.

 

[Bullet Drive]

20 minutes delay so far.

 

[Sam18696]

[Kianig89]

Give one over to hafeez when Smith is on strike

 

[saiyan0312]

Uwaisul Karnain: "Talking about Ashes, Aussies will definitely welcome an innings from Misbah now"

this one is funny.... they certainly need a misbah there.

 

[A.M.]

tough decision for misbah to decide whom to open with hafeez or Irfan and Junaid if Devon Smith opens

 

[PakGirl!]

Probably this series need rain more than a winner, the series atm going no where

Haha,perhaps u r rite!

 

[A.M.]

its good Pak is till backing Wahab if they would have dropped him now his confidence would have completely demolished

 

[saiyan0312]

Heavy but probably a Passing shower.

thanks.

Give one over to hafeez when Smith is on strike

That requires flexibility which misbah doesn't possess. all a plan.

 

[Sledger]

Inspection in ten minutes.

 

[Kianig89]

no chacne yet....

 

[fumaster]

its good Pak is till backing Wahab if they would have dropped him now his confidence would have completely demolished

very true

 

[Kianig89]

Inspection @ 9 30 local time

 

[HASHAM2]

any news

 

[Kianig89]

Sky now showing 3rd game highlights so delay might be longer

 

[saiyan0312]

opening with smith and having gayle in the lower order.... it may work.

 

[ritzy_123]

thanks.

haha i agree..!!

 

[Batman]

Inspection at 9:30 local time

 

[cricketfanfirst]

With shortened match, Pakistan will benefit. Do these games have reserve day?

 

[HASHAM2]

Hopefully game start on 6.45 Pakistani time

 

[A.M.]

any news?

 

[imshally81]

No , it is standard practice to cover the strip if it looks like it is going to rain & is the groundsman's call who is the local man . Ten cricket now running a rain delay sticker so right decision .

I know
But what about the first Odi when rain came n they didn't stop the game

 

[Zain]

Any updates when play is due to start

 

[HASHAM2]

Hopefully 45 Overs match

Bcz it will be Good for Pakistan

 

[Kianig89]

Steve Davies umpiring today

 

[Kianig89]

frustrating..........

 

[Indiafan]

I know
But what about the first Odi when rain came n they didn't stop the game

Because they had already started the game?

 

[Kianig89]

Yup crapinfo not updating........

 

[Batman]

Any updates when play is due to start

any news?

Inspection at 9:30 local time

 

[A.M.]

[A.M.]

This

thanks

 

[Batman]

so 2 minutes to inspection ?

No, 2 hours of inspection, Is that enough for you wait that long?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sure we are meant to start now?

 

[Ims1]

I know
But what about the first Odi when rain came n they didn't stop the game

A game on & about to start are treated differently . When the game is on,it is the umpires who decide when to go off .

 

[Batman]

There she goes Afridi in Highlights

 

[HASHAM2]

Cricinfo why no update

 

[Arsal_AK]

What about the start time any news?

 

[Batman]

Sure we are meant to start now?

Inspection doesnt mean start straight away without any judgment of the track, calm down

 

[saiyan0312]

ok whats the inspection as cricinfo is stopped. .

 

[Munna]

Roza lag raha hai, match shuru karwao

 

[HASHAM2]

any news

 

[A.M.]

No, 2 hours of inspection, Is that enough for you wait that long?

calm down!! :adnan

btw this rain might help pakistan to liven up the pitch more

 

[lestaboy]

Any chance of game today

 

[Red Devil]

Any updates??

 

[Mr. Logical]

Uwaisul Karnain: "Talking about Ashes, Aussies will definitely welcome an innings from Misbah now"

this one is funny.... they certainly need a misbah there.

believe me even now aussies would not play such negative player as misbah

 

[WNC]

Lol, I am not angry, its just a question for him who seems to be angry at cricinfo..lol

Damn, chill fellas. It was just a fun comment

 

[Batman]

any news

No, no news

 

[saiyan0312]

rozay lag rahay hai yaha har kisi ko.

 

[lestaboy]

Any news

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rain wasn't that heavy when I saw it :S

 

[Nuekboi]

Inspection where art thou?

 

[lestaboy]

Seems like no match ... lemme switch to ashes

 

[fumaster]

Apparently there are no clouds around so this should hopefully be the only delay

 

[Batman]

It wasnt there in the other game too but its bound to come after the toss

 

[HASHAM2]

Play should start soon

45 Over match will be Perfact for us

 

[yadunoe]

who hear would have chosen razzaq over wahab

 

[Batman]

From Cricinfo:

Noman Baqai: "It seems to be the contest of who is more defensive in their approach towards batting as despite the fact that 2 matches are won by team batting first and even in the tie one the team batting first had upper hand till the very end, they keep on choosing to field first."

 

[asronline]

I have a feeling Misbah will use Wahab a lot through the middle, no more death overs from him.

[taqi]

Any update when it will start no updates on cricinfo or cricbuzz

 

[PakGirl!]

Awww come on now,this is getting frustrating!!

 

[A.M.]

who hear would have chosen razzaq over wahab

not me Razzaq hasnt been playing domestic for a while nor has he performed for Pakistan in the recent past but Hammad Azam if in the team would ideally be playing

 

[saiyan0312]

really hope there wont be rain interruptions during play.

 

[A.M.]

no updates on cricinfo or cricbuzz

 

[Sakss]

cricinfo not updating anyting

 

[saiyan0312]

I have a feeling Misbah will use Wahab a lot through the middle, no more death overs from him.

thats his place... without reverse swing he is no longer a death specialist.

 

[hur rizvi]

Looks like it's raining hard, no update from anybody

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

What's going on

 

[Ottoman]

Covers still on

 

[A.M.]

Cricinfo:

Covers still on, but hopefully we will get a restart soon..

 

[taqi]

9.40 am Covers still on, but hopefully we will get a restart soon..
Cricinfo

 

[hur rizvi]

So covers are still on

 

[asronline]

thats his place... without reverse swing he is no longer a death specialist.

Yeah, I just hope Misbah realises that. You can tell he hasn't been dropped because Misbah probably thinks he can bat should they get into the tail.

 

[HASHAM2]

Match going to start soon

Sky is clear

 

[saiyan0312]

finally an update. covers on but restart to happen soon.
