Pak_Forever Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Come on Pakistan! It's time to live up to reputation of snatching finals. SL is so so going down!! :two_thumbs_up:
Guest Hiten. Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Pakistan: Salman Butt, Khurram Manzoor, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik (capt), Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal (wk), Sohail Tanvir, Iftikhar Anjum, Umar Gul, Sohail Khan Sri Lanka: Sanath Jayasuriya, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Thilan Kandamby, Chamara Kapugedera, Thilan Thushara, Farveez Maharoof, Nuwan Kulasekara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis It will be interesting to see how this guy fares against a Test-nation. There are heaps of praises showered for this guy by Waqar, when SK broke Pak domestic record (correct me if I am wrong).

There are heaps of praises showered for this guy by Waqar' date=' when SK broke Pak domestic record (correct me if I am wrong).[/quote'] Indeed he has done exceptionally well in domestic circuit and bowls 90+ with ease. Hopefully he will get a go in the final, not sure who would he replace, possibly either Tanvir or Akthar. Little info. on his short domestic stint. "Hailing from Malakand agency in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), but based in Karachi, Sohail Khan had a debut first-class season in the 2007-08 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy few in Pakistan have equalled. The right-arm fast-medium bowler, playing for Sui Southern Gas Corporation (SSGC), took 65 wickets in his first nine matches, with as many as eight five-wicket hauls. The second of his ten-wicket match hauls was 16 for 189, which shattered Fazal Mahmood's long-standing national record for best haul (15 for 76)."
EnterTheVoid Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I got a gut feeling Pak will win this one
DomainK Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I think Lanka will win this. Pakistan did well to win the first match, but their bowling is simply not good enough....especially given that their main strike bowler has been bleeding run, unable to complete even his quota of overs and does not have the captain's confidence. Their best shot is to prepare a batting paradise and hope to win the toss.
Guest dada_rocks Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 it all depends on lankan openers if they somehow stitch 100 run partnership and sri ends up with 250 then it's goodbye farkistan
graphic23 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 it all depends on lankan openers if they somehow stitch 100 run partnership and sri ends up with 250 then it's goodbye farkistan Yup. It depends on how well Dilshan plays. There's also the whole Jayasurya factor.
EnterTheVoid Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 ? everybody forgot about mendis already? I suppose you only make the news if you take 5 / 10 wicket hauls every math you play
graphic23 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 ? everybody forgot about mendis already? I suppose you only make the news if you take 5 / 10 wicket hauls every math you play No its more like its a given. :P
Pak_Forever Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 I would love to see a Jaya onslaught today. Mendis, Murali, Jaya and Dilshan will get owned. And I got a good feeling that Afridi will come good today. Watch out everyone, his sixers might crash near by you. :weights:
DomainK Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Mendis' date=' Murali, Jaya and Dilshan will get owned. [b']And I got a good feeling that Afridi will come good today.

EnterTheVoid Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 ^^ .... .... i doubt akhtar's playing ...... what a shame if we dont get to witness your prophecy

SachDan Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 SL won the toss and chose to bat No Actor for Pak
DomainK Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Lankans are missing Actor.:haha: What a good decision it is not to play Actor. This is very good opening from the Pakistani bowlers. If actor was playing, SL would have been off to another great start.
SachDan Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Sri Lankans finding it very difficult to score..29/0 in 10 ovs Conditions heavily in favor of bowlers
Guest dada_rocks Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 It's waqar's turn to grow beard like a goat
DomainK Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Who are the guys in the commentary box? From the accents I assume one is Pakistani and one is Lankan. They are irritating.
