Aaargh! Another day-night match! Is the subcontinent overflowing with electricity or what?!

I want to see Kenya pulling an Ireland on Pakistan (come on Tikolo, give us something to remember you by in your last show on the big stage!). But, according to CI preview, the match will be played on a flat batting surface, which makes Pakistan even harder to beat!

Anyway, I will love to read commentary from my fellow BCiets (who will watch it) on the match, when I wake up tomorrow morning

Pakistan may upset Kenya !! First upset on the card !

I am worried about the pakistan cricketers and whether they will be able to concentrate on the game today... things are way too peaceful in their camp... and whats worse even Izaz Butt isn't making some of his inllectual remarks to the press to bring back the attention!... I guess now its left to Waqar and Shoaib to heat things up between them during the tournament so that normalcy can return to the team...

Watching Kenyan bowlers, I am missing Syed Rasel. Why can't we find another good slow medium pacer like him?!

Eshen · #9 February 23, 2011, 04:26 AM

Wicket! Hafeez gone!

WTG Lions!

Jadukor · #10 February 23, 2011, 04:27 AM

Pakistan are digging themselves into a hole here... i smell a wild slog and a wicket...

Jadukor · #11 February 23, 2011, 04:28 AM

lol... there u go!

Eshen · #12 February 23, 2011, 04:28 AM

Kami came in as one down.

Nadim · #13 February 23, 2011, 04:29 AM

Match fixing?

Eshen · #14 February 23, 2011, 04:30 AM

Waters play for Surrey 2nd XI - good for him!

Nadim · #15 February 23, 2011, 04:30 AM

8th free hit.

Only Kayes who hit a boundary of FH in this WC so far

Eshen · #16 February 23, 2011, 04:34 AM

Pitch actually has a good amount of juice on it! Got a lesson not to pay much attention to CI preview!

Nadim · #17 February 23, 2011, 04:34 AM

haha..another wicket............

Eshen · #18 February 23, 2011, 04:34 AM

2nd wicket! Shehzad gone!

magic boy · #19 February 23, 2011, 04:36 AM

Eshen · #20 February 23, 2011, 04:37 AM

Thanks Kenya! They are certainly making it worthwhile to stay up so late!

Mate, it's Pakistan we are talking about, you never know how well or poorly they will play on a given day!

magic boy · #22 February 23, 2011, 04:39 AM

run out missed !!!!!

Nadim · #23 February 23, 2011, 04:39 AM

Runout missed

I love Sri Lankan wickets as opposed to the slog fest wickets of India... Bowlers with skill will be successful in the matches here...
on this wicket in september 2010, an unofficial test match between Pakistan A and Sri Lankan A finished within two days... 20 wickets fell on the first day... and 13 fell on the next day...

Eshen · #25 February 23, 2011, 04:41 AM

See, what a difference the pitch makes! Other day Shafiul got slaughtered for bowling in same lengths!
