*Official* Match 6 - Kenya v Pakistan

[salman85]

Misbah to do the job again.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Come on Kenya. Great start by them.

 

[hick2010uk]

Pakistan 12/2 could their be an upset on the cards?

 

[alvarez]

Dropping Obanda seems pretty harsh to me though. Looked more technically competent than most of the batsmen; odd scapegoat.

Mishra is definitely a more technically correct batsman then Obanda, but yeah, was pretty harsh.

 

[Jayzamann]

yeah fans of Pakpassion website were asked to design the wc kit, done a good job from what I see.

That's a really good idea, Pakpassion has always had a really nice design to it.

 

[Prince EWS]

I have $50 on Shehzad to be Pakistan's leading tournament run-scorer; that innings suggests I might as well have thrown it at the bus. Dire stuff.

Rehman adds more with the bat and in the field though with 8 batsman I doubt you need someone @ 9 for the batting prowess.

lol......buddy u were saying something 12/2

 

[Prince EWS]

Mishra is definitely a more technically correct batsman then Obanda, but yeah, was pretty harsh.

Yeah, I was kind of surprised he didn't play the first game; I've seen him bat a few times before and he looked olay. Obanda looked a lot more technically able than Obuya, Tikolo, Ouma, Patel and Kamande in that first game, although to be fair there are strong reasons to retain all those guys as well. Obuya and Patel scored runs (comparatively) despite looking crap, dropping Tikolo would be insane, Ouma is keeper and Kamande is captain.

Pakistani batsman and an Indian fast bowler falling away after a bright start are one of those unexplainable facts of this universe.

 

[_Ed_]

Sloppy stuff from Kenya in the last few overs. They've allowed the run rate to double.

 

[vcs]

These Kenyan bowlers are really pissing me off with these ****ing fulltosses. Talk about wasting an ideal start.

 

[kingkallis]

I vote for Pakistan even though on a bad day they can lose to teams like Ireland

Looks like its the bad day again

The frustrating thing is Akmal should have been run out a couple of balls after the 2nd wicket fell, as well. The bowler failed to collect for some inexplicable reason. Really sloppy cricket from both teams.

not so fast pal.........we have the bowling attack to wreck most teams........even in the loss to Ireland we had them 7 down

I hope Akmal makes a big score tonight. He is the wk in Blaze and my team here in the WC draft.

 

[salman85]

Man,Akmal looks in good touch.

As much as i hate him as a wicketkeeper,he is brilliant when he's on song with the bat.Not your average everyday Afridi-esque slogger,but a genuinely good aggressive batsman.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ongondo in for Odhiambo next game then?

 

[Turbinator]

Pakistan, either win by 124 runs or don't bother winning at all.

 

[smash84]

lol........I think they will win by 80 or so runs. 124 is too much for the beginning of the tournament win for PAk IMO. They are generally slow starters

 

[salman85]

If Younis and Akmal stick around for a while,then i guess the margin could be bigger than 124 runs.It all depends on how long these two bat together.If they're together till the 30 or 35th over,we'll be going at over 5 an over for sure.And then the lower order can explode.However,if a wicket goes down now,that could change things.

4 NBs already. I don't think that many have been bowled in the entire tournament so far.
