Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

Kamran just dropped a straightforward regulation catch.

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

1st wicket down
Hamilton Masakadza c Akmal b Tanvir 14(27)

cricinfo
Sohail Tanvir to Masakadza, OUT, brilliant reflexes! pitches on a good length bang on off stump, the ball holds its line, Masakadza pokes at it, gets a thick outside edge which flies low to Kamran Akmal who plucks it one-handed diving to his right
After all the criticism directed at his keeping skills, this should make him feel a lot better

cricbuzz
Tanvir to Masakadza, out Caught by Akmal!! fullish delivery on the off, shaping away from the right hander sharply, inviting him to drive it on the rise, Masakadza doesn't get a stride forward and looks to stab it through the line, thick outside edge and the ball flies to the extreme right of the keeper, Akmal judges it quickly, flies to his right and takes a sensational catch, this is wicketkeeping at it's best! Tanvir draws first blood!

gggggrrrrrrrrrrrr..........

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

now Akmal misses an easy catch. Can someone kill this loser already? I think thats the only way to get rid of this joker. Im seriously thinking of just boycotting watching the Pakistani team play cuz I cant stand this idiot behind the stumps with his zero wicket keeping skills.

The ex legends with their expert analysis of the game.

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

Afridi into the attack

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

There must be a big crowd to watch this highly competitive match in the impressive ‘National Stadium’?

:hmmm::hmmm:

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

Afridi strikes...Taibu gone, LBW

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

Taylor gone for 2....stumped Akmal and bowling Malik

So with 1 catch and 1 stumping against a super team like Zimbabwe, im sure Akmal has sealed his place for at least another 10 years after this brilliant performence as wicket keeper, with 1 catch and 1 stumping and only dropping one catch and giving away under 10 byes in one match.

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

Pakistan won by 104 runs.

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

Can some one enlighten me on why was MIsbah utilized as bowler?? Whats that as for a tactics?

On the Victory: Pakistan Zindabad! :jhanda: :jhanda:

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

^ because the game was already in the bag.

What a record-breaking boring day?

cricinfo
We have a few records here. The eight half-centuries is a world record for most fifties in a match and Pakistan's five is a record for a single innings.

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

Pakistan bowlers not getting the Zimbs all out within 50 overs is a failure. Not impressed by the tactics. Why not fully utilize the regular five?

Akmal's performance was good. A catch or a stumping is the same whether against Zimb or Australia.

Re: 1st ODI, Pakistan vs Zimbabwe at National Staidum Karachi

^He dropped some easy catches...how can you declare that as good. And I dont like these tactics either. Match should be taken serious til the last ball. Its practise time for your bowlers...this is the time to learn not to fool around with part time bowlers.
