42nd Match - Ireland v Pakistan (15th March)

[smash84]

whatever the total, Pakistan stll have to chase this down.

 

[ankitj]

according to an analysis on cricinfo, teams have been doubling their total after 200 balls in this world cup. So 300 should be on.

not very productive power plays. May be 85 in last 10 overs is fair expectations, taking the score to 273.

lol

 

[Zinzan]

It wasn't wrong just because it didn't come off. It was silly. Being 4 down going into the powerplay is not ideal for most teams. Lose 2 wickets and suddenly you are looking to not even play out 50 overs well. Its just common sense, unless you can boast batting like Aus or Ind.

Nah you're misrepresenting my original point & hence arguing against a strawman. All I said was Wilson needed to be the aggressor in the PP when he and Porterfield were batting together for the exact reason that I wanted Porterfield to bat through.

Since when has it been silly to have at least one aggressor in a PP when you're 4 down in ODIs in 2015?

 

[Jimbo the giant]

Ireland have a pretty lame attack. Should be easy for even Pak

 

[smash84]

these last few runs are valuable additions for ireland. Sohail khan should just get 2 wickets this over and end it

Against a good bowling attack and when your batting isn't arguably some of the best in the world, since then

 

[Burgey]

Is this the standard of Smali posting in all Pakistan match threads? Holy ****

 

[Zinzan]

Pakistan have bowled well, but maybe this wicket isn't as easy as it looked once the shine is off the ball. They just haven't been able to hit if off the square since the 35th over.

err, what last few runs? They've barely scored for the last 2-3 wickets.

 

[Flem274*]

reverse with a less than 25 over old ball?

bottle caps. Pakistan wag!

with waqar as bowling coach he sure as hell would be passing on the tricks

 

[ankitj]

Nasty. Call the physio please.

 

[silentstriker]

The reverse-scoop-to-throat shot...

 

[jonbrooks]

Holy crap. How come that isn't a broken wind pipe?! Man, that must have hurt. :-( Hope he's ok.

 

[smash84]

damn, that would have hurt, ouch

 

[Fusion]

Look at that, another easy catch held. Amazing!

 

[smash84]

how many catches has khatmal taken today? Is that a record for a pakistani fielder (non-wk)?

 

[Daemon]

It's amazing that Umar has taken more catches in the field than he probably would have behind the stumps

 

[Flem274*]

dammit

Hussain: "Four catches for Umar Akmal...yes, that's right...four catches for Umar Akmal."
