Kasprowizc receives the worst beating of his life...

Or at least the professional career...


1.1 Kasprowicz to Imran Nazir, FOUR, pitched up delivery and Imran hits high in the air down the ground to long off fence.
1.2 Kasprowicz to Imran Nazir, FOUR, full and down the leg side, whipped away to backward-square leg fence, that rocketed to the fence.
1.3 Kasprowicz to Imran Nazir, FOUR, pitched up delivery and smashed along the ground to the long on fence, good striking.
1.4 Kasprowicz to Imran Nazir, SIX, goes all the way, a short delivery and Imran swings it high in the air and over midwicket fence, great striking.
1.5 Kasprowicz to Imran Nazir, SIX, another massive hit down the ground and over the sight screen and into the crowd for maximum.
1.6 Kasprowicz to Imran Nazir, SIX, that is gone as well, swings it high and dry over wide long on fence for another maximum. This is wonderful batting, excellent stuff.

then Van der Wath jumped in

2.1 van der Wath to Imran Farhat, FOUR, smashed in the air to cover fence, another good shot.
2.2 van der Wath to Imran Farhat, SIX, it is massive again, short and Imran Farhat swings it high and over square leg fence for maximum.
2.3 van der Wath to Imran Farhat, SIX, again he swings it high and into the crowd to the midwicket fence, pleasing to the eye, what hitting. This is the fastest 50 in the ICL.
2.4 van der Wath to Imran Farhat, FOUR, full toss sliced in the air behind point to the fence, amazing stuff.
2.5 van der Wath to Imran Farhat, OUT, mishits it miles up in the air to wide deep-mid off, taken by Powar and Imran Farhat goes.


thats 50 runs of 10 balls

Sounds like they're playing on a Subitto board ... or else the Rose Bowl with the boundaries in 30 yards!!

ICL circus - phurt ...

the sixes of the fast bowlers were huge(except the one in the 1st over)

Imran finished his innings with 4 sixes in a row after playing a maiden

Astle said after the game

"Its a shame that such a talent is not allowed to play international cricket"....

Spot on Nathan, spot on.

Shane Bond in particular must be back ASAP.

Is this the ICL?

Didn't know it had started. Really.

Any English players taking part this year?

Paul Nixon is the only one I know of...

Faisal,

Will Pak play tests at Abu Dhabi?

Can some one fix the title please

@ chandan

Most probably.

BTW Chandan
I know you have written to BCCI in the past and they have contacted you back so can you please write to them again and demand them to lift the ban on all ICL players(especially mention Shane Bond) because now even the ICC lawyers have given up.

thanks in advance

Ja that van de Wath is useless also.

Imran Nazir was an erratic scattergun when playing for Pakistan. One look at his record suggests that he's hardly being missed.

It's your thread, dude, you can fix the title by editing your first post.

Please do, for some reason I thought Roebuck was involved.

Yeah they 'should' be allowed, but they won't play.

Apparently this sort of stuff is the "future of cricket".

I know most will disagree but i will have him in the test team, remember this is the same guy who at the age of 17 or 18 scored a ton against Walsh and Ambrose when his side was in serious trouble and has made numerous other contributions at the test level. In t20 he should certainly be a part of the squad.

Secondly its not JUST about international cricket its also about domestic cricket. When players of the quality of A Razzaq, H Raza(PAK's Ramprakash), Nazirs etc are taken away from a domestic structure that is already in terrible shape(23 teams full of out of shape and Sifarshi players) then thats a MAJOR hit.
