Australia v Pakistan | 17th Match, World Cup | Taunton | June 12, 2019 | Australia innings

Smith and Warner both look out of touch.

Don't let this streaky century fool you. If you watched the full game you know how lucky he was.

Australias semi final hopes rest on Starc shoulders, if he has a repeat world cup performance or not.

We are used to with this. Last time it was Tendulkar survived 5 times
 
Amir deserves a 5fer and I've said it time and time again he knows how to handle the big stage, as evident from track record in ICC Competitions because he keeps calm under pressure.

A big match player and one of the best Pakistan players in ICC comps.
 
This still too much for Pakistan to handle but good effort to restrict them
 
WOW WOW WOOOOOOWWWWW what a spell from Amir and what an amazing death bowling from Pakistan. We might have saved our match here. Fantastic stuff. I am so proud of how the bowlers came back. Come on, lads. Its on to the batting now. Top 3 needs to fire.
 
wow that was some implosion. 320 was easily on the cards if they had seen off amir. Still a challenging total on this pitch.
 
Its rare to see Aus collapse like this. I have seen other teams but with Aus its a rarity

Horrible from Australia. Great come back by Bowlers but too late I think ..300 will be tough to chase here.
 
Pakistan have momentum, if they get off to a fast start they can chase this.

Sun out and pitch has eased up.

If Aus lose this, damn. They might struggle to qualify.
 
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] has been saying it for ages

I wasnt sure but it seems a good idea now. Amir makes the team on merit.

I would be more excited by Amir being captain than watching Sarfraz embarrass us time after time.
 
Honestly thought the Aussies were gonna easily cross 375...now they didn't even finish their overs...
 
All Amir's haters including [MENTION=2501]Savak[/MENTION] have been humbled once again, please tell us how the likes of Shinwari, Wahab et al are far ahead of him on bowling merit :))
 
Man I hope this momentum shift shake Australian confidence. I thought we can chase 330, this is 25 runs even better. And again we almost left this bowler at home.
 
So Pak bowled out Aussies for less than Imuch hyped Indian attack despite dropping few catches and bad fielding.

Very suspicious batting from the Aus team here... 25/5 in the last 5 overs. CVC should immediately take a look into this collapse!:inti

I'm not saying Shinwari is better than Amir or he should be playing in place of Amir, but he should have been selected for this WC and given a chance. He's averaging 19 with after 15 matches.
 
Warner just hit the nail...

They have to bowl test match lines which only Amir did for us.
 
Leading wicket taker in the world cup now. Some people were mad when he was picked lmao.

It was brilliant from Mohammad Amir. That should be a DVD on how to bowl in ODI cricket.
 
Amir outstanding

Very impressive comeback by SSA. Maxwell’s wicket was the turning point
 
Aussie bowlers if they have sense will pitch the ball up on this surface and will do damage.
 
Our top 3 are the key. If they can start well , we can win this game . Starc and Cummins are the main threats. Other bowlers can be targeted.

Have to try and target Maxwell and other 5th bowlers Australia may use.
 
Amir is now averaging 12 in this WC with an economy of 4.7 and Strike Rate of 15 #JustSaying
 
He bowled well. End of. Earlier you said he should of got more wickets. Well he got 5. Give credit where due. Regardless if this will be his only ever 5 wicket haul what a cynical remark.

Yes this is what happens when you play an inexperinced fast bowler in Shaheen. Hasan Ali has been bowling poorly for a while and he is not a test match bowler anyway.
 
Idk who I should be supporting here.

Aus not as good as I thought, so their spot might not be secure.
 
Pak needs to play first 10 overs well without losing any wicket ideally
 
So Pak bowled out Aussies for less than Imuch hyped Indian attack despite dropping few catches and bad fielding.

This is on a bowler friendly pitch. That was a road. india had bad fielding as well. Pakistan has conceded 300 plus 7th time in the last 8 matches. One match they got bowled out for 105.
 
It'll take a huge effort to chase this wickets look like falling throughout don't be suprised if the wicket looks like a minefield when Pakistan bat.
 
Plans which Pak creates for individual batsmen are really poor along with execution. Warner was the beneficiary today
