WI v Pak [Group D/Game 1] Pak chase 242 to win - Updates

[Bilsher007]

Drop nazir for next match and play azhar mahmood, akmal and hafeez to open .

Nazir will never learn. We are missing salman butt.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good ball from powell, swing, pace, and bounce!

 

[Salman]

good ball from Powell...

 

[tauseefm]

dman, powell is bowling good out swingers..

 

[Bilsher007]

I really don't understand why younis wants to rung silly risky singles.

 

[Ilyas]

Imran Nazir needs to continue...One can not drop him right away...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Powell bowling a very good line here.

Yk almost drags one back onto stumps.

 

[Salman]

Still waiting for YK to do something funny...

 

[akpower]

what a massive slogger this man nazir is, i cant believe he made it to the world cup based on 1 innings. afridi shd come in for the 3rd game in place of this fool

 

[Noddy]

Am glad ppl see that he will 'never learn'
.....

Anyway, thats the way i goes and he is there, so we have to go wiht what we have and you can never say never in cricket and more so the WC..


Its a good track to bat and bowl on so its going to be a tough 1st 15 overs for us...Windies tails will be up wiht the wicket and the 6 off the last ball of their dig...

 

[desidudecool]

That is what Inzi told him and that is what he did...Like Afridi did in 2003 against England hitting a huge six in the first over and then getting out in the same over...Imran Nazir hammered one of the best shot of the day only to depart next ball...Now you should not complain that why he got out too early...This is what you suggested to him...

he would gotten out even for a 0 if you had told him to be defensive lol.atleast he hit a 6..not much you can do about guys like that who have a low i.q level.gilchrist and jasurya are agressive too they dont spend time at the crease to setlle down but they know which ball to hit or defend

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 Maiden in a row.

10/1 after 3 overs.

 

[Rob H]

another maiden. 10/1 off 3

 

[Salman]

Another maiden 10/1

Pakistan RR 4.00
Required RR 4.88

 

[iafzal]

If Nazir bats like this then we are one bats short. Maybe one of the guys will give a good phenti to Nazir one of these days so we can get Butt as his replacement.

 

[Ilyas]

Wow: Powell produced real pace, bounce & swing on the first ball of his second over...Sami must have been ruing...

 

[Bilsher007]

Imran nazir has put pakistan team under pressure.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Leg bye run

11/1

 

[Salman]

leg bye, single taken, 11/1

 

[Salman]

Imran nazir has put pakistan team under pressure.

No pressure, Nazir is a wildcard...

 

[Salman]

Driven for four, YK

Pak 15/1

 

[Amjid Javed]

lovely straight drive for 4 by YK

gun barrel straight!

15/1

 

[Bilsher007]

Younis khan strokes a nice boundary straight on

 

[Amjid Javed]

single now thru legside.

16/1

 

[Ilyas]

No pressure, Nazir is a wildcard...

Superb point...

 

[TheSaint]

Great shot by Younis-- he needs to stay but I think this pitch is more a Yousuf, Inzi pitch

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez off mark with single past gulley.

17/1

 

[Bilsher007]

That's what we need nice rolling shots on the ground, hafeez takes a single.

 

[Noddy]

top shot for 4

 

[Salman]

Gone..... YK gone...

 

[Rob H]

edged and gone. YK what have you done. Tried to hook and edged it straight through to Ramdin.

 

[tauseefm]

younis goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Mike Bassett]

Younis Gone

 

[Noddy]

and then a very poor one to follow.....

 

[Amjid Javed]

Younis Khan gone. poor looking poke outside off-stick!

nick behind!

17/2

Pakistan in trouble!

 

[Gunner786]

the stage is set for inzi!!

come on inzi!!

 

[TheSaint]

That was a poor shot but I had an inkling Younis was not going to last long today

 

[Mike Bassett]

Please not another collapse

 

[Bilsher007]

A big wicket... Younis departs Thank you imran nazir for this situation !

 

[desidudecool]

oh man nevermind nazir.what was younis khan doing there.out

 

[Amjid Javed]

Oh well the Two consistant ODI failures are out.

Nazir & Y khan.

its down to Moyo/inzi/malik now...

 

[naddo]

Dreadful shot from Younis. That was never on. Good start for the WI.

 

[UJ]

OUCH...didn't need that!

 

[Sabika]

YOunis DEPARTSSS???
noooooooooooo

 

[classic]

its hafeez and Moyos' day today...inshallah

 

[Salman]

'It's all down to Inzi and Moyo...

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Shabash Younis Khan

 

[sayed.jaffar]

This is a disaster. Younis Khan played a terrible shot, he was never there to play such a shot. We are giving every reason to Windies to come back into the match.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moyo new man in...

Pak 17/2 after 4 overs...

 

[octavian]

17-2 now.. pak batting at it again

 

[Sabika]

yeah start off with a six and two wickets here

 

[DotCom]

so Nazir who plays a conventional drive and gets out is bashed, but Younis VC plays a stupid pull shot to one outside off and its ok ...

this is b/c of Hafeez playing maidens...

 

[iafzal]

The one thing they had to avoid and that is exactly what they are doing losing wkts. No pressure to score fast just keep those wkts man.

Yousuf in, Inzi I guess is going to go to his standard #5.

 

[akpower]

what a shocking stroke by younis. it just boggles me why the man can not get going consistently in the shorter version of the game.

 

[Saj]

A really really really poor shot from Younis there. What was he thinking !

 

[Sabika]

being too agressive here
chill
yousuf is the man for right now who can do that

 

[Amjid Javed]

Powell bowling a good line here to Hafeez.

 

[Ilyas]

Yes: They do not need extravagant stroke play...

 

[Sabika]

so thisis the kind of pitch we have
no wonder our bowlers did so well
lol

 

[Sparhawk]

this is where we need to dig deep and anchor. Forget runrate boyz, its all about seeing out the new ball.

 

[UJ]

Ahh Yousuf at 4...guess those reports of Inzi at 4 were just rumours

 

[TheSaint]

tough on us now - but thats what seperates the men from the boys- Inzi & Yousuf need to play it cool here

 

[SameerAhmad]

Cmon Pakistan, please don't dissapoint now, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[octavian]

oh hafeez.. at least get the balls away that are on chicken legs !!

no use just playing maidens

 

[Rob H]

on drive for 4 by Hafeez. That's a cracker of a shot.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Crisp on-drive for 4 by Hafeez

21/2

 

[Mike Bassett]

good shoot hafeez head up and straight bat

 

[Sabika]

hmmm
i was hoping nazir would do something great
not to be
younis dissapointing

 

[Salman]

Shot from Hafeez.... FOUR

 

[Sparhawk]

so thisis the kind of pitch we have
no wonder our bowlers did so well
lol

the wicket is good for bowling but its not a bowlers paradise, the batsmen fell to bad shots.

This is the way to get fours in such situations, beautiful 4444444 to Hafiz!

 

[Usman]

good shot for 4!

 

[classic]

nicely plaid by hafeez

 

[Ahmad]

so thisis the kind of pitch we have
no wonder our bowlers did so well
lol

Oh for Christ's sake...! Don't think they played poor shots do you?! Its always the pitch isnt it..

 

[Salman]

21/2 Not looking to good..

 

[Sabika]

what hafeez make a half century that owould secure his place for the next year or so
on the other hand watch him get out

 

[Sabika]

Oh for Christ's sake...! Don't think they played poor shots do you?! Its always the pitch isnt it..

the lol ussually mean im joking

 

[TheSaint]

Hafeez is playing sensibly - no problems playing 1-2 maidens in a tight situation to settle the nerves and get the ball older

 

[Ilyas]

oh hafeez.. at least get the balls away that are on chicken legs !!

no use just playing maidens

Brother: 270 Balls are left to make 221 odd runs...Take it easy...

 

[xbox]

This is the second or 3rd I have seen YK getting out like that (trying to hook or cut a really bad ball..throwing his wicket away).

Pakistan is making a big mistake by sending YK at No.3 there are only 2 players in squad who can play big innings and score 100.

1. Yousuf
2. Malik

One of them has to go at No.3. And please get rid of Imran, he may score 60 in next game but game after that he will get out again.

 

[classic]

its just the wc first game jitters ...Pakistan will come back Very VERY strong once settled .Inshallah
