100 for yousuf inshallah.

highest aggregate of the tournament - yousuf inshallah

 

[12thMan]

nicely done by Lara. 2 for Yo Yo
37-2

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 37/2 after 10 overs

205 needed from 40 overs.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

37/2 off 10 overs

 

[faisalm]

We need a big over soon because we are falling behind the rate.

 

[desidudecool]

may be younis khan is looking forward to his captaincy job after the world cup

 

[the true passionist]

things are calm...feeling like something got to give here.

 

[Ilyas]

Mbangwa in the commentary box is someone who I would term as a "naish". Keeps saying Windies need MY out.

This is just the beginning of World Cup 2007...

Many things like that will come...

Especially when World Press will put players under pressure...

World Cup is a game of mental toughness...

 

[Amjid Javed]

2nd powerplay been used.

single for hafeez to fine leg

38/2

 

[UJ]

Required RR is now over 5. Just need to push the singles along and hit the occaisional boundary.

 

[Amjid Javed]

good quick single.

Pak 39/2

 

[Sabika]

thing should stay clam we can make a hundred in the last 13 overs no problem

 

[DotCom]

little cricket, small cricket is what we need..

 

[faisalm]

NO!! Hafeez gone.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez Gone!

Poor slog across line and gives Lara an easy catch!

39/3

 

[Usman]

Hafeez gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sabika]

right now we need to ease the nerves and build a partenership
or else the next thing you know someone will be hooking again

 

[Rob H]

What a brainfart ). Nazir and Afridi-esque

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan in HUGE trouble! Hafeez is gone!

 

[Sabika]

so musch for that

 

[DotCom]

hafeez ... so a 19 avg with a 60 sr is CLASS ?

PK in trouble now.. big trouble

 

[Ilyas]

2nd powerplay been used.

single for hafeez to fine leg

38/2

By the end of this 2nd Power Play, Pakistanis should try to be at minimum 65...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yet another Gift wrapped Wicket from Pakistan.

 

[Sabika]

sigh* was it a poor shot againn!!

 

[UJ]

Need something special from the big man now...

 

[desidudecool]

hafeez gone..man they are choking

 

[Sparhawk]

what in the world was that?? I just can't believe how hafiz could do that in an international match, in the WC no less...... damn!!!

 

[the true passionist]

things are calm...feeling like something got to give here.

i am sorry. i could see that happening.

 

[azfar wali]

the next batsman is inziam_ul_haq

 

[pakistani pride]

quite boring stage ! they need to get singles atleast . . . . could have hit easy !

 

[Amjid Javed]

Inzamam new man in.

Time to peform inzi in a world cup!!

1992 is to long time ago!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan in huge trouble now. Will take an Inzi or Yousuf special to take us out of this now

39/3

Poor batting by the top three, they deserve a good kick up the backside!

 

[TheSaint]

Inzi & Yousuf--crunch time boys- this is it!!

 

[Usman]

We might as well just hand the game to the Windies.

 

[octavian]

Mr. average below 20 goes !!.... what a joker

 

[faisalm]

It's time for the big guy to shine. We need the Yousuf Inzi partnerships of old when they took us to wickets from similar situations.

 

[Sabika]

hmm if inzi or Moyo go were doomed because malik can not make 200 with kamran alone
its the end

 

[iafzal]

Terrible stuff from Pak. They cannot seem to handle the big stage. This is not a big score and the bowling is not deadly but we are falling like flies. Almost all outs (maybe not Nazir) was batsman's fault.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Inzi off mark with single, should have ran 2.

Pak 40/3

 

[Noddy]

Inzi walking across the stumps very early on....

 

[UJ]

Cant afford to lose another wicket until about the 30th over....big partnership from our two best batsmen is what we need. Lets go Inzi and Yousuf!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Till we get good solid opener, we cannot expect decent starts. Poor batsmen like Hafeez and Nazir work once in three games, they cannot be depended upon all the time

 

[Amjid Javed]

100+ Partnership needed here between these two!

 

[Ilyas]

We might as well just hand the game to the Windies.

If Pakistani players also have the same kinds of spirits, then how can we expect to win WC'07...

 

[DotCom]

Nazir scored 6 off 3 balls, and got out...
Hafeez scored 11 of 28 and SLOWED it down so much that YK gave up his wicket..

and now Inzy and MoYo are in a JAM

 

[iafzal]

They both need to take it to 100 at least, but 150 will be nice.

 

[the true passionist]

Pakistan in a spot of bother here...

 

[Noddy]

Very poor shot selection by Youni and Hafeez....
Imran Nazir, I expect it from him....
When the opners dont perform and provide the platform for any side, there is immense pressure on the rest....

 

[Sabika]

im gonna go cant watch

pray and hope they can come througH YeT AgAin! for us

 

[Amjid Javed]

Collymore onto bowl now...

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Our opners are a disgrace.. when ever we play a test or ODI its like we starting 0/2 its
been like this for years !!

 

[desidudecool]

this is where imran khan's criticism of inziman is justified.he should be leading from the front coming at no3 when younis khan is out of form but he does nt .

 

[DotCom]

big up for MALIK .. commentator giving him props and Akmal too

 

[Amjid Javed]

Starts with a wide.

41/3

 

[Sparhawk]

these two needs to put on atleast 70+ here.

 

[Sabika]

If Pakistani players also have the same kinds of spirits, then how can we expect to win WC'07...

Yeeahh
no one is expecting us to win this world cup
if we win teh world cup i'l eat my shoe
ive never wanted to be proved wrong so much in my life though

 

[Ilyas]

Nazir scored 6 off 3 balls, and got out...
Hafeez scored 11 of 28 and SLOWED it down so much that YK gave up his wicket..

and now Inzy and MoYo are in a JAM

Hafeez was doing absoluetly correctly...

When one is chasing 242 off 300 balls, that is how innings need to be built...

However after doing everything correct, he shamefully slogged...

 

[kashmiri]

Scheiße

 

[saffer]

taylor and powell look a potent force for the future........big trouble here boys...

 

[Amjid Javed]

After world cup dead wood player like Razzaq, I nazir, Rana and Y khan should be dropped from ODI side.

 

[Usman]

We need to have atleast half the runs acheived before Malik or Akmal join one of these two.

 

[xbox]

Inzi keeping getting hit on pads ..

 

[Ilyas]

Yeeahh
no one is expecting us to win this world cup
if we win teh world cup i'l eat my shoe
ive never wanted to be proved wrong so much in my life though

)

 

[Sparhawk]

Yeeahh
no one is expecting us to win this world cup
if we win teh world cup i'l eat my shoe
ive never wanted to be proved wrong so much in my life though

be sure to get it on video

 

[faisalm]

these two needs to put on atleast 70+ here.

More like 110+. We don't have Razzaq down the order so it might be up to Malik and Akmal to steer us home.

 

[xbox]

Younis Khan needs to play at No.5 and just score his 40 - 45

 

[iZeeshan]

Need something from Inzi! Not looking to good right now. They need to take us to AT LEAST 125, because no other batsmen besides Malik and Akmal.

 

[Ilyas]

Inzi keeping getting hit on pads ..

Corry always does this to Pakistani Batsmen...

He is one of the most dangerous bowlers for West Indies against Pakistan...

 

[Sabika]

be sure to get it on video

lol dont worry it wil never come to that

 

[Sparhawk]

After world cup dead wood player like Razzaq, I nazir, Rana and Y khan should be dropped from ODI side.

And change the selectors, otherwise they'l only pick more dead wood players.

 

[xbox]

Sad part is not one batsman got out on good ball.

 

[Noman]

I really think we need top open with Malik

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single for Inzi.

Pak 43/3

 

[faisalm]

Younis should open and Afridi replace Nazir when he returns, with Akmal opening.

 

[Sabika]

im going ot make a prediction inzi out in 2 or 3 overs time
hope im wrong but thats what im predicting at the moment

 

[number09]

You must be mad asking for Y Khan wanting to be dropped after the world cup. Dead wood?

 

[Ilyas]

Sad part is not one batsman got out on good ball.

Be happy that good balls have not got wickets...

Otherwise Pakistanis would have been 7 wickets down by now...

 

[Amjid Javed]

I said before start of tourney pakistan was a genuine middle order batsmen short and i blv that will be shown to be true thru the tourney!

 

[Noman]

Corry always does this to Pakistani Batsmen...

He is one of the most dangerous bowlers for West Indies against Pakistan...

Yeah,, He somehow make pak batsman struggle
