Australia (204/8) beat Pakistan (203) by 2 wickets in a low-scoring thriller in the first ODI

[RedwoodOriginal]

Even rauf supporters are in shocked . This is extraordinary over by him.

What Rauf supporters?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan pacers bowling like this just makes the game of cricket so much better.

Shame it's so sporadic.

Rizwan cramping up as usual.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

China pace charging up slowly.

China Aussie fans are now quiet on this thread.

 

[mango_bite77]

This looks like a Wahab spell #nostalgia

 

[TheSultan]

Yea cheers riz

 

[Rana]

Excellent Rauf

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Tough chance for Riz. That ball flew.

Haris bringing back Pak nostalgia vibes here.

 

[mango_bite77]

Lucky Hardie, a taller keeper would have taken it perhaps

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Shpuld Abdullah lovers take a stand?

No but fake Aussies can buzz off too

 

[mominsaigol]

If Travis head was here, this would have been over.

 

[Rana]

Yea cheers riz

That one was a bit difficult tbf

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Facing Shaheen after that over from Haris must feel like halwa bowling.

 

[hamzie]

so unlucky yaar

 

[kingusama92]

Rauf is a great momentum bowler like Wahab. Brings the when he's on.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I'm turning off the tv, I don't wanna watch this match anymore

I think you can still win this. That early Inglis drop by Niazi was crucial

 

[mango_bite77]

Facing Shaheen after that over from Haris must feel like halwa bowling.

He has bowled better, yes not so quick

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Afridi coming round the wicket is such a dead bowler man.

 

[mominsaigol]

No but fake Aussies can buzz off too

Must he a horrible year for you.

First you advocated for t20 accumulators by highlighting smith as a t20 opener only for smith to get dropped before wc 2024.

Then you were against sajid khan coming back into the test squad and he won the game for Pakistan.

Then you claimed rizzu was spin bradman only for him to get out to Rehan and labu.

And finally you claimed Abdullah shpuld go to Australia and he collapsed like a house of cards.

Shame shame shame

 

[Rana]

Shaheen has been brilliant. Down on pace but he’s bowled really well

 

[AAli98]

Great captaincy bowl your best bowlers now game ain’t going beyond 33 overs.. good signs for future.

 

[TheSultan]

Shaheen looks like a spinner

 

[mominsaigol]

I think you can still win this. That early Inglis drop by Niazi was crucial

Idk because I'm getting wc 2015 pak vd Sa flashbacks.

Sa had no rhyme or reason to lose that. The only difference is aus isn't known for choking but those wickets makes me feel as if I'm watching sa chase in a world cup

 

[mango_bite77]

Pak got the moral victory, better compared to previous tours.

 

[TheSultan]

Shaheen has been brilliant. Down on pace but he’s bowled really well

He’s bowling like a good part time seamer that keeps it tight. dont have a problem with that but he shouldn’t be taking the new ball

 

[Rana]

Massive over coming up

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Haris is a very flawed bowler. He lacks bowling sense far too often. But he is by far the best express pacer that Pakistan has and the only one capable of bringing genuine pace and fire. When he's on he can be seriously destructive. That's why he should be backed.

 

[mango_bite77]

Interesting fielding by Rizwan

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Must he a horrible year for you.

Shame shame shame

Yes a poor man’s Devon Malcolm

 

[Rana]

Just keep a conventional slip

 

[mango_bite77]

144.4 by Rauf, fastest of the match

 

[Ahmed216]

Hack Fraser-McGurk exposed by Rizwan's troops

 

[mominsaigol]

Stopped reading after 'must he'

Naw, it's cause you can't actually respond to some of your genuis takes.

You were wrong on 4 separate occasions.

I'll keep count.

Replacing an ATG like Warner is tough. Even for Australia. 100% sure that if Warner left the commentary box and went into bat , he'd look better than anyone in Australia except Travis Head for this format even now.

 

[mango_bite77]

As usual drama by pace factory

 

[sindhiboy]

Loving how Australia are rolling out green tops for every international game in the past year.

So much better than the highways they used to roll out in 2017.

Can you make him bat please . He's the go to guy for bashing pakistan into next week

 

[Nikhil_cric]

so you want it to be legal if they have a fielder sitting in the seats of the stadium, jumping and throwing the ball back in to prevent a 6?

Way to miss the point.

Are fielders allowed to field on the seats?

 

[Rana]

Give Rauf a break

Try Hasnain for a bit

 

[hamzie]

Way to miss the point.

Are fielders allowed to field on the seats?

whats the difference between being in the seats or past the boundary line

 

[Shafi]

Its almost impossible to beat Australia in Australia after such a low score. Our bowlers always give their best but batters fail most of the time.

 

[Rana]

Full on the pads Hasnain

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Thoughts on Hasnain action?

Seems a bit sketch at times but I dunno if its paranoia from me because he's been called before.

 

[mango_bite77]

Naseem and Rauf stretching hamstring

 

[mominsaigol]

You're always paranoid 24/7. It's nothing new.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The outfield is soft. Even Starc got injured

 

[DeadlyVenom]

thats out !! appeal karo kanjaro

 

[PakPremi]

If Travis head was here, this would have been over.

If Sharjeel or Asif Ali were here Aussies would had been chasing 300.

 

[Asif321]

Wow those late order contributions really mattered

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This was why I said earlier that Pakistan needed 260 at least only if the top 4 had made contributions.

Hadn't it been Shaheen, Naseem hitting out in the end it would have been barely 150.

 

[mominsaigol]

If Sharjeel or Asif Ali were here Aussies would had been chasing 300.

It would be a cracker of a game if both sides played at full strength, Australian players are on paternity leave.

Pakistani players are unfortunately not not playing full strength due to rizzu circus.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Naw, it's cause you can't actually respond to some of your genuis takes.

I'll keep count.

Didn't you say Fakhar and Salman were useless in a thread that someone literally just bumped? How right were you about that? The only thing you should be counting are your number of braincells because by the looks of it they are declining in number rapidly

 

[Nikhil_cric]

thats out !! appeal karo kanjaro

MCG pitch hai. Multan nahi. Bouncing over

 

[mango_bite77]

Pak need just 2 wickets

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Aussies on the rope here. We need someone to step up and deliver a KO

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This is amazing

 

[DeadlyVenom]

MCG pitch hai. Multan nahi. Bouncing over

Should be reviewing that IMO. Keep the pressure on.

 

[mominsaigol]

I've never said fakhar or salman were useless? Never?

These 2 are players I back. Find that comment, cause I guarantee you I've never claimed this.

I however have your comments where you claimed your holy words of rubbish.

Now go and answer why you made such nonsense claims.

 

[Devadwal]

thats out !! appeal karo kanjaro

DRS is available.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan bowling too short to these batsmen. They are bowling all rounders. You can pitch it up to them!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Should be reviewing that IMO. Keep the pressure on.

You might the need reviews later.

 

[Shafi]

If Australia play with cautious it's not a big deal. Only 49 more. All Aussie can bat unfortunately.

@RedwoodOriginal unless you're referring to me calling Falhar useless as a no 4 batter and Agha useless at 7 then yes 100%.

Fakhar plays as an opener and Agha higher then rizwan, that's their position, rizwan and Abdullah can get booted to the curb

[Sunny_majoka]

This hasnain doesn't seems to fit

 

[big_gamer007]

It feels like @Mamoon turning face gave Pakistan cricket the boost it needed to be world beaters again.

Beating england and now crushing Australia in Australia, what a performance!

On the other hand Indian cricket is in doldrums after losing Mamoons support.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan bowling too short to these batsmen. They are bowling all rounders. You can pitch it up to them!

Hardie is a proper batter with a healthy FC domestic cricket average.

Mamoon 'The Thanos'

 

[Markhor]

How many times have we come close in Australia but fallen short ?

Please knock these over.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Hasnain!!!

Vatta into middle strump. Stumps flying.

 

[mominsaigol]

Look at the date of that comment and look at the date of yours? You've claimed such and such this year.

 

[mango_bite77]

Hardie gone, 7 wickets down.

That was brainless shot

I guess your guarantee means about as much as everything else you say here. Which is nothing.

 

[Ahmed216]

These are Riz boys. Ye fight karenge!!

We won a ICC trophy after he stopped supporting india.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pressure has been put on them for a while.
he was lookin for a release.

We are hunting in packs today. Great bowling so far.


InshAllah we get over the line but Cummins and co can bat .

 

[mominsaigol]

I guess your guarantee means about as much as everything else you say here. Which is nothing.

Why did you claim rizzu is spin bradman aka 86 avg against spin and argue against me for context on said statistics only for rizzu to get dismissed by rehan Ahmed and labu?

Explain dingus

 

[PakPremi]

China pacers giving mighty Aussies hard time, Aussies likely to win but a good game never the less. Well done China Captain for keeping troops focused.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

There we go Hasnain!

There we go!

 

[mango_bite77]

Pat can bat, even Abbot, not over yet for Australia
