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

[Dantheone]

Rizwan is a massive upgrade from Babar. Just the bad balls and sloppy fielding will be the difference.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Zampa can slog a couple too. But sure on this pitch though.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Starc can duck bouncers all day. Full and into his feet please

 

[Rana]

Brilliant bowling Shaheen

 

[mango_bite77]

Good spell by Shaheen. Real concern is Hasnain. He will leak runs here

 

[Dantheone]

How useful 20-30 runs here would have been. Misrable batting from Pakistan top order.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bad bad bad ball

 

[mango_bite77]

Why suddenly no one near to batter ?

 

[Markhor]

Short and wide filth

 

[shah_1]

Really poor captaincy from Rizwan at the end

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Short and wide at 138 kph. Shot by Cummo

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia will win, But shame in Australia. Horrible performance.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Umps an Aussie

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Amazing fight by Pakistan, Rizwan for the win !!

 

[mango_bite77]

That was not wide

 

[mominsaigol]

Umps an Aussie

He's a proper umpire. Aussies don't produce biased umpires.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wide for height.

 

[mango_bite77]

It's all over, good fight but not enough.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good ball. Need starc on strike for next over.

 

[chinaman00]

This Rauf guy is just useless. No control in his bowling. Just runs hard and throws without any thought process. Even tailenders are taking him apart. Useless.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Big player Cummins.

Beautiful batting under pressure

 

[Ahmed216]

Cummins is made of steel

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cummins is stepping up for Aussies here again

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Now overpitched at 134 kph. Cummins slaps him to the boundary

 

[mango_bite77]

Congratulations Australia. Batters let us down.

 

[shah_1]

Just brain fade from Rizwan

It was too predictable with short pitch bowling.

 

[m.shah]

Cummins is Atg. Certified match winner

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bring the field up. Bowl then out this over

 

[kingusama92]

Cummins is a clutch player in these situations.

 

[mominsaigol]

Cummins is one of the best captains of all time. A proper captain unlike that kabootar

 

[PakPremi]

Why suddenly no one near to batter ?

No runs to defend, any edge will goto boundary.

 

[zaidihusain]

17 wides by these pacers are too much..they need to work on this

 

[Shafi]

Can never rely on Rauf. Only 8 left. Match over for us I guess

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Naseem cramping up. He ain't gonna bowl now. Not worth risking it.

 

[mango_bite77]

Bas kr dho yaar, roz kaa drama hai iska

 

[Sunny_majoka]

naseem bowling 131kph why pace is getting lower of our pacers

 

[Ahmed216]

Naseem is made of glass. He should retire and seek another profession

 

[Rana]

Believe

Game still winnable

 

[mango_bite77]

No runs to defend, any edge will goto boundary.

But u just need 2 wickets, there is no point giving easy singles

 

[PakPremi]

He's a proper umpire. Aussies don't produce biased umpires.

One or two calls for wides were dubious.

 

[mominsaigol]

Look at India, look at England, look at Australia. The batting approach in red ball and white ball is beyond pathetic. Words like intent and positivity is used to describe some rubbish batting.

Batting with patience is a skill which is dying pretty fast.

And yet you support Rizwan who happens to be the 2nd coming of Misbah

 

[mango_bite77]

Believe

Game still winnable

Naa, Not happening now. Moral victory for Pak.

 

[kingusama92]

Ouch. Hopefully not injured and it's just a cramp.

 

[zaidihusain]

Although Shaheen bowled well but his pace is only 130-132 now. You can't win matches with this pace

 

[Usman Chadda]

This guy has gotten unfit more than the number of wickets he has.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Same short crap.

Aim for stumps bowl him out. He will take balls to the body all day.

 

[mominsaigol]

One or two calls for wides were dubious.

Fair, but he did give wides to Australia as well when Pakistan were batting.

It's just people obviously support their own country and feel everything is biased for them.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Naseem injured again?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Yaar bowl a Yorker please

 

[mango_bite77]

The only thing Hasnain has learnt these years is throwing ball back towards non striker

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Naseem is made of glass. He should retire and seek another profession

He is a bit fragile but this was primarily because of the outfield.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

What the beep is this timer penalty?

The one minute rule between overs is fine, but the penalty should be one player in infield, not a 5 run penalty

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chalo Starc on strike.

Haris Rauf on.

Let's finish it here.

 

[mango_bite77]

Chalo Starc on strike.

Haris Rauf on.

Let's finish it here.

Starc is a proper batter.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Starc is a proper batter.

Bette chance to get him out than Cummins

 

[mango_bite77]

Bette chance to get him out than Cummins

Aussies man, nerves of steel

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Crowd gone flat.
Need a few more moments of passion here.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just checked the score, why isn't Naseem bowling?

Has he been injured?

Just seen it he went off :fp

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Just checked the score, why isn't Naseem bowling?

Has he been injured?

Yeah he cramped up

 

[mominsaigol]

Crowd gone flat.
Need a few more moments of passion here.

They should send you to Melbourne. I'm sure the crowd will get riled up

 

[Rana]

Babar’s poor fielding getting exposed here

 

[mango_bite77]

Hasnain and babar biggest weaknes in field

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan have lost the match but it had not been walk in the park for Aussies. Good fightback by Pakistan in field.

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar’s poor fielding getting exposed here

Pakistan's fielding as usual costs them.

 

[Alter_Ego]

Babar’s poor fielding getting exposed here

Liability on the field

 

[Rana]

Keep believing

2 balls

 

[Nikhil_cric]

PAK vs SA in the World Cup match at Chennai. This match feels very similar.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan's fielding as usual costs them.

Babar has been extremely poor

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rizwan will have a simple excuse in the press conference, we were 40 runs short

 

[Rana]

Scores level

Super over anyone?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I knew it was coming but that shot felt like I'd been stabbed in the heart

 

[kingusama92]

That's the game there.

Good fight back from Pakistan but the batting let them down big time.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Replace Hasnain with Wasim Jr. and this is a pretty decent pace attack

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Replace Hasnain with Wasim Jr. and this is a pretty decent pace attack

Give him benefit of the doubt for now..it's first game back after a while.

 

[Rana]

Unlucky Pakistan

 

[mango_bite77]

History repeats. Pat cummins playing captains knock.

 

[Asif321]

Should have won it after 6 down but cummins is legend . What a calm player and captain sees team home

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The match has some nice moments.

Good game of cricket.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies win, the lack of runs ultimately cost us here.

Valiant effort from bowlers

 

[Devadwal]

Moral victory for pakistan .Only things they have achieved in Australia most of times .
