Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

^ hahahahha. I missed that bit

A very up and down and rather disappointing performance.

After a rollicking start, Pakistan came back really well in the game. But just when Misbah should not allowed Dhoni or Rohit to get easy singles, he did. Saeed was bowling really well and could have nicked one or two. At that stage it would have really benefited.

Nice performance by Saeed Ajmal, his doosra is impressive. Sohail had a bad day. But Abdur Rauf generated some unexpected bounce from this placid track.

oh well even if we win this one, our run rate is not going to be enough. But lets hope for a fighting performance from our batsmen.

Actually that bit was on only on the "World feed"....so if you are in Pak you wouldn't have seen it.

Tanvir's figures are the most expensive ten-over spell by a Pakistani bowler in an ODI v India. It beats Ata-ur-Rehman's 1 for 85 in Sharjah in 1996.

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

Good positive start from Butt and Jamshed.

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

Good start. 27-0 in 5th over.

Man Nasir Jamshed can play some gorgeous shots.

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

Another boundary from Nasir, charged down the pitch hitting it past bowler.

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India…2nd July 2008…

3rd boundary in the over :k:

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

35-0 in 5 overs.

Nasir Jamshed hammering the crappy Praveen Kumar.

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

Its not so much about the flat wicket as it is about Praveen giving way too much width to the batsman.

He is undoing all the good work Pathan is doing from the other end.

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India…2nd July 2008…

Butt is turning it on :jhanda:

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

50 up in 7 overs.

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

3 consecutive boundaries by Salman. His love affairs with Indian bowlers continues. :)

Salman Butt :eek: :eek: - chaa geya aaj :k: :k:

here’s hoping he continues with it - inshaAllah

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

Pak 60-0 in the 7th over - its been a while since I saw our openers bat so well - and for the most part, it's been risk-free.
