Pakistan tour of England - June 2003

lo, bas bolne ki der thi, apne log Tareef ke qaabil hi nahin

Pakistanis 73/4 (16.3 ov)

Yousuf 0
Younis 16
Bilal Asad 34 ... better than anyone so far
Responsibility now on Shoaib Malik and Y Hameed

too bad.. Bilal! well played though :smack:

so M Hafeez has become our bowler or wht???

You guys get the match in England? Damn hella lucky.

Ouch, Youhana again, what is wrong with him. Why are they waiting so long to send Mohammad Hafeez and why isn't Misbah Ul Haq playing? What does this guy have to do to get on the field.

Lets see how Yasir Hameed and Shoaib Malik hold up. I think they are on the same team in Pakistan domestic cricket.

Who is wicket keeping?

Pakistanis 137/4 (29 ov)

Yasir Hameed 45 not out
Shoaib Malik 34 not out

nice batting by these two so far...

148 runs needed of 21 overs... lets see :)

rising smoke over possiblities.

Shoaib Malik gone.

Umair said that Yasir Hameed was keeping the wicket.

What the hell, Hafeez run out too? Yeh Ho kiya raha hai? Why are these fool giving away their wickets? Is Yasir Hameed that bad of a runner?

itne bure din aagaye ke Shoaib is coming number 8

**Yasir Hameed gone for a very well played 82 :k: **

Pakistan 190/7 need 95 off 12 overs.

Pakistan's target should be 200, will they make it???

Pakistan 190/8.

All over bar the shouting.

ehsan bhia.. yeh kaun sa match aarah hai????

Pakistan 234 all out. Essex win by 50 runs.

Another inept display by the team. The plus points were Shoaib Malik (as usual), Yasir Hamid and Asad Bilal.

The negatives, Youhanna, Younis Khan and the extras given by Paksitan which resulted in nearly 3 extra overs being bowled by Paksitan. The biggest culprit in this respect was Sami. It is no good saying that Akram used to give too many extras as well, but Sami is no Akram, not by a million miles yet.

Looking at this performance I remember the recently concluded Eurovision song contest where Britain got 0 points for their song. The song was so bad that one newspaper wrote that they were lucky to get 0.

I wanted to see some of the new guys performing and Yasir Hameed did well. I am not worried about Younis Khan but Youhana needs to do some fixing, he has only played 2 decent innings since the WC, and both of them were in Sharjah.
Too many extras, but not worried about bowling, batting needs to improve if we are going to win a single game against England.
Nice to see Yasir Hameed, Bilal Asad perform, I want to see more of Yasir Hameed, Athar and Mizbah.

Are you telling us Wasim Akram is an Alien :) . Thora Miles kam karo yaar.

Anyways - I think Sami is going to do well in this England series. Pakistan lost today because of It's top order batting .
