Pakistan making heavy weather against Canada. 115/4 from 30 overs.

Judgement Day · 03-03-2011 12:55pm

Not anymore - Pakistan powering along at 161/5. I need them to stop before they reach 253.

g5fd6ow0hseima · 03-03-2011 1:13pm

181/8 now... madness.

Could Canada chase this?

d'Oracle · 03-03-2011 1:14pm

Canadistan are doing well now.
About to keep Pakistan under 200.

D3PO · 03-03-2011 1:16pm

I would love if they pulled off the win. Would be a lovely two finger salute to the ICC fingers crossed I think its a huge target for them versus the Pakistan bowling on this pitch though

g5fd6ow0hseima · 03-03-2011 1:18pm

I cant see them handling Afrida though. He has been on fire this tournament so far. Hopefully they can dig in. If the openers can somehow post good 30s or 40s, who knows what will happen

mike65 · 03-03-2011 1:26pm

All out for 184 off 43 overs

Nice one Canada. A 16 year old opening batsman! :eek:

D3PO · 03-03-2011 2:23pm

solid start by a 16 year old and 19 year old opening pair.

They need to just keep hanging around for the first 15 - 20 overs and punish the bad balls and Canada have a real shot.

In the words of Kevin Keegan I would just love it if we beat them. love it

:D

D3PO · 03-03-2011 2:25pm

there goes my jinx again. Im glad I didnt post during yesterdays game !!

Cremated · 03-03-2011 3:53pm

Pakistan are missing Akhtar, I don't think the Canadians could have handled him...

riffmongous · 03-03-2011 4:18pm

50 run partnership for canada now, 96/3, making a good go of the chase, I wonder will they have the power to carry them over the line though?

g5fd6ow0hseima · 03-03-2011 4:23pm

If they win it, it will trounce Ireland's achievements of 2007 and yesterday. It would be like Uruguay beating Australia in the Rugby World Cup

131-8.

Game over. Ah well.........

riffmongous · 03-03-2011 5:01pm

131/8 now, why don't they take the batting powerplay and have a go? Not much point in leaving it any later

Mongarra · 03-03-2011 5:05pm

Afridi 5 for 23 off his 10. Some World Cup!

According to cricinfo he can bowl one at 80mph!

Xavi6 · 03-03-2011 5:08pm

What a run out by Afridi!

Judgement Day · 03-03-2011 5:17pm

All over for 138. Pakistan's bowling attack is something fearsome. Glad I held back from any silly bets near the end. Roll on Sunday.

From the associates perspective, the Canada / Pakistan game is a good result. Restricting Pakistan to under 200 was an achievement in itself for the Canadians

Placebo · 04-03-2011 12:01am

nearly lost it.
i bet a 5er on canada, nearly won me some monies

betting against your own country, win win situation.

total wake up call. I wish we had amir, poor young soul got lost in foul play.
Other than that im not sure whats happened to shohaib akhtar, he came on like lightning and just stopped taking wickets. Gul not doing so well either.

fairplay to afridi, hard to believe this guy has the fastest century ever, 35 balls !
remember watching the match back in the day

Mothman · 04-03-2011 10:55am

Oh dear Bangladesh....57/8

And NZ 10 runs away from a 10 wicket win against Zimbabwe

Royale with Cheese · 04-03-2011 10:58am

I take it Bangladesh getting hammered is a good thing? Haven't done the maths yet but my vague guess is that all Ireland would have to do is beat Netherlands and then not get destroyed by any of the big teams. Would go through with 4 points on net run rate?

Assuming Netherlands or Bangladesh don't cause any more upsets that is.

Only 4 go through. Bangladesh being out of it is good, but we need to finish ahead of the Windies or England as well. Our game against the West Indies is a cup final, essentially.

toomevara · 04-03-2011 11:11am

Home crowd, shall we say, a wee bit peeved...hope it doesn't deteriorate.

sounds to me like to think only 2 teams are knocked it when its 3.

we have to most likely beat the West Indies and holland. 4 points will not be enough to qualify

although your probably right I dont think you can write them off yet. They should beat Holland and then there jsut one big upset playing at home from really causing havoc in this group.
