Pakistan v Kenya

[Richard]

Well, the ultimate match of lower-order bowleds.
Amazing, all the last 7 wickets involved the bails being removed (including the run-out).
How many leaves?
And what a collapse! 9 for 27 or something!
Pakistan top the table.
But why did I get such a feeling of inevitability about Malik and Afridi's dismissals?
Rather spoilt Malik's excellent record at the top of the order, that did.

Afridi and Malik dismissals? Caused by over-confidence, IMO. Yup, definitely ruined his record. He was what, 500 runs in 10 matches?

BTW, how do you think Afridi will fare against India? I know he took 4 wicket against them last time they faced-off, but what do you think about this competetion? I think Malik and Afridi will be key against India.

Dunno, he averaged 46.44 at one, three and four before this.
That's all I'm certain of.

Depends on the pitch.
If we get a turner it could be Harbhajan and Kumble against Malik and Afridi.

 

[nightprowler10]

Both Kumble and Harbhajan are playing? Hmmm, it will most definitely be interesting since the match is scheduled to be played on the same pitch where Afridi was 5/11 today.

P.S: I hope Inzi is able complete his 10,000 runs in the coming up competetion against India. He's 23 short!!

Well, I don't know, do I, we'll find-out on the morning, but if we get a turner I'd think those two would be a better option than Agarkar!

I'm pretty sure that if it's rained off, Pakistan are ahead on RR and would go through - but that would deprive the cricketing world of a great day.

Last I saw the forecast for the next 4 days is set fair.

Didn't the ICC announce that no matches will be cancelled due to rain, but rather be played the next day?

 

[Deja moo]

That's what happened.

The Duckworth/Lewis method?

Two misses and it's off, I'm afraid. Still, better than one...

yes. The other good thing is that matches will be continued the next day , not restarted .
