[LegCutter]

[nadiramazingkhan]

[Down2Earth]

pakistan to score 400-2 after 50 overs
afghanistan bowled out for 40 after 7 overs.

Inshallah

[ash 68]

I hope Pak bat first

[AZ]

Afridi to take all ten wickets, then break his own fastest 100 record.

[khalil1986]

Anybody know where it will be shown?

[ShaazE]

The television, and the internet.


... Ten Sports/Cricket and Shamshad TV

[Zeeraq]

Imran Farhat to score a 50 ball century .

[khaleelrs]

showing this on ten sports..50 mins to go cant wait...wonder the pathans who come to watch will be supporting afghanistan or afridi hmmm

[AZ]

Of course Afridi.

[AFG_Brit]

I think the pakistani pathans will be supporting Afridi but Afghans ( pathans, tajiks, hazara and uzbeks) will be supporting Afghanistan..

[ASAD NAZEER]

Pak Lost the toss

[ekpakistani]

meanwhile in BPL - Gayle and shehzad are toying with the opponents

Pakistan will thrash Afghanistan insha'Allah

[ASAD NAZEER]

Afghanistan elected to bat first

[khalil1986]

Nobody showing it in the UK?

[talha3]

Afghanistan first.

That means no Afridi fastest century. I'm predicting them to be bowled out for 150

[PakPosheeda]

Afghans bat first I hate when minnows decide to spoil the party for everyone.

[khalil1986]

Boring as they will make a crap score but it's their best chance to get a win.

Is it really though? I think you'll find that most minnow victories over the years have come after the strong side has bat first and failed.

[Osman]

well can forget entertainment....afghan batting first....expect a 9/10 wicket win

[Osman]

horrible team selected!
we are playing afghanistan ffs

[akheR]

Originally Posted by Osman horrible team selected! we are playing afghanistan ffs

Well, at least we'll see Wahab.

[Zeeraq]

(Playing XI): Imran Farhat, Mohammad Hafeez, Younis Khan, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq(c), Shahid Afridi, Umar Akmal(w), Shoaib Malik, Saeed Ajmal, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz

At least Wahab is playing.

[Zeeraq]

Top 5 is full Tuk Tuk.

[khalil1986]

That plonker Malik has got in somehow, I don't care if we lose this series but just want Malik gone he is useless and makes no sense playing him.

[anakwalajinn]

salaam. can only watch the 2nd inning bcoz of ischool oh well. afghan batting first. wanted to see shehzad in action

best of luck to Afghanistan! I hope we get a great game and u guys have a lot to be happy about!

[khalil1986]

Farhat, Younis and Malik should be in this team.

[Osman]

looks like they want to groom umar akmal as the odi keeper...not a bad shout if he is not playing tests....1 less burden

[JibranAnsari]

Malik , he will score a century to cement his place for nex 100 matches

[W63L35]

Originally Posted by JibranAnsari Malik , he will score a century to cement his place for nex 100 matches

I hope we them out for 100 and Malik does not get to bat.

[anakwalajinn]

what? took the place of a youngster

no as well...

yaar ko to khila lete, at least...

[khalil1986]

Your right, we aren't the best chasing but with the team selected you can't see a collapse happening anyway when I said best chance the percentage was still below 1%

[Osman]

unless farhat gets a duck he will make the 11 vs england *sigh*

[WiiiCKET]

hahaha Malik playing as a bowler. He is at no.8

[khalil1986]

Originally Posted by JibranAnsari Malik , he will score a century to cement his place for nex 100 matches

The problem is he won't get a chance to bat and they will have no reason to drop him. I'm sorry but on what basis was he selected?

from cricinfo

Waqar Younis isn't very happy with Malik's inclusion. He says they should have tried out Hammad Azam.

[W63L35]

Waqar Younis just blasted the selection of Malik in playing XI .... during team analysis before the match vs Afghanistan. He said, he does not understand why was selected after he failed miserably against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. He came this close to saying that Malik's selection is politically motivated/forced. He said, Hammad should have been selected.

[ekpakistani]

why is malik playing?

[khalil1986]

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

He is bang on, stupid team selection.

[Asif321]

should have given hammad a chance too
didnt like the selection ... overall

[anakwalajinn]

guys, I have a VERY important lecture from 12-14.

SHOULD I skip it? Yes/no?

[ekpakistani]

malik ki parchii bahut bari hey .. i hope he gets smashed when he gets to bowl ..

can't stand him .. should have played azhar ali or hammad instead or even chota akmal

[insaftak]

Misbah you moron.

Why play malik and not against the mighty Afghans

What a Buffoon!

[JibranAnsari]

I am pretty sure that misbah will promote malik to 1 down position.

[Sledger]

Malik ahead of Hammad against Afghanistan.

[ekpakistani]

according to Aghans were in Sharjah for 20 days to train for this match .. some commitment

[purepak]

any channel covering this in the UK?

[thurkeebaba]

Guys, anyone showing this in the UK

[lonex]

It would be nice if Malik goes for a duck against Afghan attack. May be some heads will shake for his selection next time.

[Khabri420]

Easy on Misbah guys. Take a deep breath and calm down.

[W63L35]

I think, we all know it was not Misbah's decision. His name is being used falsely by PCB.

[Amjid Javed]

Waqar annoyed that malik the sirafirshi has been picked ahead of Hammad Azam.

rightly so, pathetic selection to have this fool in the side again!

[WiiiCKET]

maybe this is the last match for Malik and Misbah knows it and Hammad going to play the full series against England

[ekpakistani]

I hope malik drops catches .. gets thrashed by afghan bowlers and gets out on a duck ..

[zains_rulez]

stupid decision ... playing Malik & farhat , i wish they both get injured for atleast 1 year...

[Foozee]

lol hope Malik.. comes good

[Muhammad Waleed]

I feel like Misbah know Shoaib Malik would fail to perform so get rid of him he has selected him in the team.

[WiiiCKET]

Misbah called Malik to Finish his career forever. Our Captaan is very smart.

[Sledger]

It's a 'crispy afternoon' according to Ramiz.

[ekpakistani]

poor afghans .. they have to face Mr. Happy

[Muhammad Waleed]

On the other hand the news is Aqib javed has resigned as the bowling coach of Pakistan Cricket Team

[JibranAnsari]

Our one day team will always have useless baggage with them. Malik , farhat and younis and I can only thank god that is not playing.

[carbon11]

gul to open the bowling

zadran is ganja for someone so young

[ekpakistani]

Its like Akmal's have a contract for keeping wickets for Pakistan

[khalil1986]

Oh well I guess it's a good thing as he is guaranteed to fail against England, if they do let him play I hope he plays in top four so he can be exposed once and for all.

[hazen_batti]

This match wouldn't last the length. The afghans should should've bowled 1st.

[Muhammad Waleed]

See the people going wild as soon as ball goes out of stand

[W63L35]

Umar Gul's first ball barely reaches keeper.
