Watch highlights from Canada vs Pakistan – the Group A game from the 2011 World Cup played on March 3, 2011
Scoreline: Pakistan 184 all out (43) – Umar Akmal 48 (68), Misbah 37 (68) | Harvir Baidwan 8-1-35-3, Cheema Balaji and Hansra 2 each
Canada 138 all out – Jimmy Hansra 43 (75) | Shahid Afridi 10-23-5
Extras: Ramesh Powar’s Canadian cousin Balaji Rao involved in a sledging duel with Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Gul (Canada Bat 4 – kind of starts at 3:10 as he walks in. But the main bits begin from 5:00 onwards). Stump mics turned on, and from what I could hear, sounds like Little Balu’s asking Shehzad a pertinent question – what did you hit, ______
Afridi’s tactical captaincy might be questionable, but sometimes captaincy is about passion and believing you can win. At this point it seems like Pakistan’s progress this World Cup will be mostly because of this aspect of his captaincy.
very near to another upset of the mega event but thanx to Afridi he saved pakistan in the end …… He is realy leading from the front… Congratz Pakistan
expect d unexpected:p
isn’t?
Congratz guys…..!!!!
That was a great match. Thanks to ALLAH for this victory. B00M B00M is just Rocking yaar !!! Congratulations !! Aur yeah Balaji Rao kuch zyada hi ‘L’ pe nahi char raha tha? Bohot hi buri hui,,, Umar Gul ka bouncer aur Afridi ka run-out
So, I finally decided to sign up after this game lol. I hate sledging in general but I find sledging between desis hilarious (Harbhajan vs Akhtar for example). Our swears are unique and Balaji definitely takes the crown lol. Ahmed should stfu since he didnt score s**t. Pakistan cannot win games like this. Afridi is a good bowler but batsmen from any other team would’ve survived his onslaught. Good game overall but scared me a little after Pak batting (i hadnt looked at the scores yet) because it would’ve been embarrasing to lose to Canada just like Ireland. Good thing Ireland won against England lol…most will forget about Pak defeat…for now.
Admin you are doing a great job and thanks for giving this match priority over SA vs Netherslands because you knew that supporters like me were getting twitchy.
Also its just a matter of time before Akmal’s bad keeping causes us to lose a game….he is doing good with bat but should focus on whats important.
New paragraph for a complicated player that I’m upset with….Hafeez…why on Earth does he laughs or giggles when he is getting owned by the batsmen? Dedicated bowlers such as Gul, Riaz, Akhtar, Afridi, Ajmal, Rehman, etc. would usually be upset and get ready for revenge.
Omg…so many questions that pop into my head once I’m finished typing…last question…why so many reviews? I thought the limit was 2.
hey man.
have you seen nehra after he’s been hit
if you have a successful review, it doesn’t count
Thank you so much for the explaining the review system. I never realized that reviews went down after the unsuccessful ones and vice versa.
On Nehra, I’ve seen the clip where he lets loose at Dhoni…we seriously need more of this because its just funny. You also posted a clip where Afridi encouraged Hafeez to dive at the boundary by using some interesting words in the vocabulary lol. I just love it.
i was actually referring to nehra’s maniacal smile after getting hit
it should be a clean game without any sledges ,
OK if bowler does goes forward 2 batsman caz he puts in alot of effort.
But fielder shouldn’t sledges , it just looks bad especially when u hear them on mic (like balaji )
I live in Canada supporting both countries , but i want to see great game of cricket .
Good bowling Afraidi and well tried Canada
cheers!
Good luck Pak against NEZ
is he really ramesh power cousin they both look like twins
haha no. this guy played for tamil nadu i think in the ranji trophy before moving to Canada
Haha.. too funny. Yeah, Balaji was in the U-19 India squad and as admin mentioned, TN Ranji team.. I think even Railways for a bit.. then moved to Canada.
