[Afridi_Fan]

Canada wins the Toss and decides to bat 1st.

Go score 1,000. lajirao

 

[Fireworks11]

Canada will do well today. Nothing to lose.

 

[SameerP]

Come on, I wanted to see Australia bat. No offense but this game will be over much before the full 8 hours

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yes Balaji Rao will bowl the Australian out within 50 runs.

 

[Fireworks11]

Bangalore wicket is dead. Built for batsmen to have a feast.

 

[SameerP]

Yes Balaji Rao will bowl the Australian out within 50 runs.

Not if :kami was keeping

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not if :kami was keeping

But he made Gilchrist look like school boy in his last game, didn't he? :kami

He was my MoM.

 

[Fireworks11]

Get in.

 

[cric_fan82]

good agressive start from kaneda

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another couple.

22/0 in 2.

This is awesome. )

 

[Fireworks11]

Pak would be 10-2. Lol.

[Afridi_Fan]

Now a

Oh Dear

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another

Kia baat hai.

 

[Fireworks11]

Shot of the WC:

Back foot Six over cover off Tait.

 

[Bilal.0]

We have worst batsman than Canada

 

[cric_fan82]

Aussies look stunned!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not shying away. Pakistan should be looking at this.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Oh come on, should have hit that one for four. Disappointed.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

33/0 in 3.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Still on course for 550.

 

[Fireworks11]

Hafeez would never bat like this.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Just short of the WK.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Crashed.

 

[cric_fan82]

what a drive

 

[Fireworks11]

4 more.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Through the leg side.

 

[cric_fan82]

again

 

[IAJ]

What a lovely start by the canadians, no fear whatsoever.

But wait and see ouu tukk tukk master Hafeez on saturday. He scored a fifty against Zimbabwe and now he will think even a failure against Aussies wont affect his position in the team as he will go off shaking his head while smiling after a breathtaking 7 from 19 balls!

 

[akamaka]

))) this is the feared aussie attack. again.

 

[iZaman]

lmao, this is awesome

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[iZaman]

We need Ahmed Shahzad for doing the same..

 

[JilaWatan]

pak openers should learn from this...weve seen both tait and lee get flustered when hit... and when they are flustered thats when they get more chances.

 

[cric_fan82]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Oh come on he leaves it alone.

41/1 in 4.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Hafeez & Shezad are u watching at how amateurs play or for that matter Pakistan openers.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Aussies are rattled. )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Take that MJ

 

[Fireworks11]

Patel is in the mood.

 

[akamaka]

again.

 

[cric_fan82]

Smashed this patel is some batsman

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Fireworks11]

Lol 6

 

[akamaka]

NOW!!!!

 

[cric_fan82]

over thirdman!! lucky shot

 

[Fireworks11]

He's playing like Afridi in his heyday.

 

[cric_fan82]

boundary distance is a joke!

 

[akamaka]

Canada off to a flier.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

54/1 in 5.

 

[Fireworks11]

54/1 off 5 overs.

 

[cric_fan82]

would love to see cheema and patel batting together and in full flow

 

[acer]

Wat hell this kid doing

 

[Lara400]

Some chap called Patel has gone mad, long may it continue!

 

[Fireworks11]

Lee sledging.

 

[IAJ]

boundary distance is a joke!

That's the problem with the grounds in India. Thyey should have bigger boundaries.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

You lil beauty.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

62/1 in 6.

 

[Fireworks11]

Zabardast

 

[akamaka]

patel finally gets one )

 

[cric_fan82]

That's the problem with the grounds in India. Thyey should have bigger boundaries.

bangalore is just too short, at nagpur where india played the saffers was quite good 80+

and patel has another

 

[DOOSRA95]

it is problem for pak opners to get the ball off the square they can learn from this batting line up.

 

[pwarekar]

Australian phast bowling get pawned by Canada!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Cry Baby comes on.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Canada for test status, Pakistan may be then will get proper minimum 3 test or 5 test series ,
for last decade they are not getting that respect from other cricket nation.

 

[pwarekar]

64 after 7 overs runrate 9.14, good going by canadian batsman!

 

[Fireworks11]

Shane on.

 

[Vegitto1]

The Canadian batsman are just playing the full shot and not a jab or a poke. The pace of the bowler is doing the rest.

 

[Vegitto1]

now watson with less pace enters the attack and the scoring stops because now it is more about timing the ball and the Associates struggle with medium pacers
