[shahidafridi123]

Match over

[saeedhk]

Tuk Tuk time now

[Justcrazy]

[Asif321]

*** !!!!!!!!!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

What was that

Braun fart of epic proportions, he bottled it after playing and missing the ball before.

[Markhor]

Shoaib Malik in.

[Lala-Afridi]

let the star shine my foot

[MVP26]

stupid umar

[ninjafirstslip]

[dhump]

what is the point of coming after swan when it is clear that they are not able to hit him properly by far really really stupid.

[talha3]

The best we can hope for is 140.

[Sledger]

Malik the saviour in.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Can't any of these guys just play sensibly for a few overs?

[shahidafridi123]

Seriously Malik!

[TigerJat]

smelling a wicket maiden

[MoinHaroon]

what a stupid player and everyone calls him pakistan future

[adilmomin]

It's gonna be a slow 10 overs now because our hitters basically had a brain fart. Might get 120

[the Great Khan]

lol..and he lives upto his name "brainless the boywonder" strikes again!!

[Iffitheking]

Due to Shoaib Malik... these player are playing pathetic... to ask Kaptaan... you and Shoaib score...

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan targeting 180 , idiotic strategy here.

[ninjafirstslip]

malik just gets better.

[shahidafridi123]

********* *********** ********** Umar Akmal

[osee_bhai]

That's the problem with all these sloggers, they are idiots.

[MoinHaroon]

Get these Akmals out of the team and we will prosper

[musaarthali]

No need to worry..still 5 wkts left

[DOOSRA95]

4 wickets for 12 runs wow what happen to umar akmal went for namaz and another 2 down.

[ads101]

Malik should just go for his shots. If he's trying to play himself in it won't work. Play some shots get some confidence and if that works build on it.

[Sledger]

And people want Umar in test matches.

[Geordie Ahmed]

These 2 need to stick it out for 5 overs before going for it

[TigerJat]

I think the team has lost its confidence, they keep crumbling every match

[dhump]

I dont think they will get another 70 another 50 more.

[the Great Khan]

malik is there for guidance!

[shahidafridi123]

About to be a double wicket maiden in a T20

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was a very good catch

[shahidafridi123]

It is

[talha3]

Double...wicket...maiden.

Innings killer.

Anyone still defending Umar Akmal's brain fart today ?

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan cant even bat friggin 20 overs with out collapsing! really pathetic stuff!

[Geordie Ahmed]

double wicket maiden for Swanny

73-5 after 11 overs

[munna_]

wow .. a double wicket maiden for a mediocre bowler in sub continent conditions

[MoinHaroon]

Why are Shoaib and Misbah playing?

[dhump]

what always happens to him.

[A-khan]

wth! why malik ahead of hammad

[Sledger]

73/5. Time for some Tuk20 cricket now.

[VolcanicAsh]

People compare this hack with Kohli. This brainless slogger will never learn he doesn't have the capacity to think through. Get him out of the team, potential my @ss, Ukmal is nothing more than a hack, that's the reality.

[cricketworm]

what a collapse

[ninjafirstslip]

if me malik playing tests.

[MoinHaroon]

England win by 7 wickets

[Markhor]

Idiot in the background is annoying.

[MoinHaroon]

Why is malik in the team

[Geordie Ahmed]

Samit Patel to bowl now, reckon he will get Mr Mirza out soon

Also Misbah has struggled against him

[iRfaN_LA]

who is this guy at the speaker? terrible voice.

[ninjafirstslip]

the comedy continues!

[Asif321]

Wht shttt shot was tht by Uak hitting staright to long off

[UP]

Someone please punch that guy who is shouting in the mic

[Geordie Ahmed]

Misbah will get out lbw to patel soon

[Justcrazy]

This shows pakistan is poor against spin.

[Sledger]

What predictions? I never expected Akmal to bat for 6 overs, just wanted him to, and I'm trying to anti-jinx Malik.

[Hasan]

Hot lips gone!

[TigerJat]

I don't knoiw what to do now, ;(


I hate Malik, but I want Pakistan to win, if Malik scores even 30 or so, he will become a fixture in the side???

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

I didn't hit the panic button after the ODI white wash.I thought that we should cut our team some slack after performing so well in the tests.After this collapse I am very inclined to hit the panic button now.Not because of this game, we probably have lost this one already , I am panicking about Pakistan's pathetic batting.We NEED new faces ASAP.

[MoinHaroon]

OUt of huge population of pakistan we can't find batsmen but we can find three players from one family lousy team

[iRfaN_LA]

do we have DRS in T20s?

[ninjafirstslip]

bat before wicket

[Geordie Ahmed]

Misbah with the sweep shot, not in control

[hashmist]

What the hell Misbah!

[iZeeshan]

From 46 in 5 overs to 70-odd in 11.

What a joke.

[TalhaSyed]

Back to back idiotic and stupid shots by the pak batsmen!
The last four wickets have been absolutely foolish shots and have thrown wickets away!
Were in such a strong position and as Inthikab Alam would say "mentally retarded" performance by the batsmen!

[Looney]

In the end , our RR will be 4.36

[ninjafirstslip]

misbah block!

[ads101]

Yep.

I really despair the way we worry about wickets. No one else really does in T20. One wicket lost, we go into our shell. There's no point, continue to bat positively and aggressive. If a batsman gets out and you come in, don't get worried and cautious over that, you've got to keep the momentum going.

It's the mindset we need to change. We consistently lose wickets because we panic that our last batsman got out. It's a stupid reason to get out for in T20s. Just keep your cool when wickets are falling and play your natural T20 game.

[musaarthali]

Happens...he went for a counter attack

[the Great Khan]

150?? lol I'll be surprised if we get 120 with Tuk tuk Man and now the Joker batting together!

[Justcrazy]

PPers want to play in test matches

[Asif321]

tht start of 36/1 from 3 overs gone into waste

thx to hafeez afridi and Uak

[MoinHaroon]

Misbah is going to play slow but he would not want Hamaad in
SELFISH like INZI said

[TigerJat]

Tuk Tuk continues,

at least rotate the strike man!!!!!!!!!

[talha3]

No point blaming Misbah or Malik for a conservative approach now. The main damage has been done thanks to Afridi, Umar and to a lesser extent Hafeez.

[iRfaN_LA]

We will get 120, if lucky.
