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

[castortroy]

First 400 score of the world Cup incoming

 

[Sherazkhalid]

350 plus, may be 375 now. And we be all out around 250

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

That was really an awful decision to bowl first.Michael Clarke said this pitch is batting paradise

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Got the lucky win v England

Will lose to kiwis, India and probably SA also after today's drubbing

It's fascinating to see Pakistan fans behavior. One day they're kings and next day they're beggars. There's no mifdle ground!

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistan will have to bat really well.

And? Pak aint scoring more than 250. Our players are mentally handicapped.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Whatta comeback!!!!

 

[watson367]

Gone

 

[Cric1234]

Match interestingly poised. Could go either way. Next ten overs could decide the outcome.

Match is about as over as any in the tournament so far.

 

[IAJ]

RR has been around 6,7 such a long time now.

 

[dhump]

Why bring Shaheen back ? ***

need to bowl 50 overs.

 

[Aman]

That wicket could have saved Pakistan 20-30 runs.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Well at least something happened there

 

[NAGP]

Bowled

 

[Mamoon]

I can totally see where you are coming from but labelling the entire clan which dare I say includes you being a Pakistani is very unfair. Yes there are delusional people like Khurram Mansoor in the example you quoted and it includes maybe a lot of others as well but still don't agree that we generalise and say we all have a rotten mentality

But that is how the majority thinks. It is a result of this mentality that we take pride in labels like unpredictability, cornered tigers etc. even though it doesn’t mean anything.

Even today half of the posters on this forum think that India is not playing cricket with Pakistan because they are afraid.

 

[Rathore]

Maxi gone!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan shown their true place today. One win against Eng doesnt make a minnow world class.

That win was not all "positive". They conceded 300 there as well. Basically they are conceding 300 plus for fun. If WI had batted first probably they would have posted 300 as well.

 

[szundercover]

That might decide the match.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

got him !!!!!!!! finally a reprieve for shaheen

 

[Afridi96]

Bowled himm, shoulda brought on a pacer to Maxwell before

 

[Sycamore]

Aim at the stumps get a wicket, surprised pickachu.jpg

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Beautyyy

 

[hussain.r97]

Good comeback from Shaheen!

 

[90MPH]

Bowl full length and you get wickets.

Lbw and stumps come into play. Simple isn’t it ?

 

[Aman]

That was really an awful decision to bowl first.Michael Clarke said this pitch is batting paradise

Pakistan would have been on trouble on the same pitch, Pakistan didn't bowl well early on and take wickets with the new ball.

 

[Markhor]

Jokers finally realise you should aim to bowl at the stumps.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Massive wicket

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That was a gift, not sure what was he thinking. Half hearted shot

 

[imshally81]

Yessss

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Shukkar rabba aik wicket hi labhi

 

[ViciousMachine]

Wohooooooooo!!! Gone!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Why cant you bowl just this ?

 

[szundercover]

But that is how the majority thinks. It is a result of this mentality that we take pride in labels like unpredictability, cornered tigers etc. even though it doesn’t mean anything.

Even today half of the posters on this forum think that India is not playing cricket with Pakistan because they are afraid.

What if we fluke another win today?

 

[Pak Warrior]

Another one bites the dust!

 

[Pete Rose]

Afridi b. Afridi

 

[Third Man]

Pitches it up and gets a wicket. I thought Shaheen was an intelligent bowler but apparently he's not.

 

[hussain.r97]

I hope that this gives him confidence, really needs it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Big wicket that was. 20 in 10.

 

[Billa86]

Australia still have good platform to score 300.

 

[topspin]

Babar needs to bat at a SR of 120+ today. Imam's big mouth will be exposed today when he gets humiliated by Starc.

 

[aukhan]

Jokers finally realise you should aim to bowl at the stumps.

Ye tukka tha...they haven't realize anything yet.

 

[Mueez]

SHAHEEN

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Gives us a tiny chance

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

He's jumping up and down like he's taken a hattrick. Hopefully that will give him some confidence to bowl a decent length now.

 

[IAJ]

Need some tuk tuk from Aussies now

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We want Khawaja to come and steady the ship, our ship not theirs

 

[NauV]

And Shaheen gets him out . . slap on Sarafarz's face!! Now with Marsh and Warner . . he could have easily bowled hafeez and malik!!

This guy is captain of our national cricket team . . PCB needs captaincy coaches and leadership lessons for bright talent starting under 15!!! Since we don't get educated cricketers, PCB needs to start a program of their own at an early stage . .

 

[Aman]

That was a gift, not sure what was he thinking. Half hearted shot

Missed a pretty straight ball (think it moved a bit but still shouldn't be getting beaten like that), playing down the wrong line.

 

[Sir-fraz]

All ifs and buts. Bottom line is India is far superior to pak with both bat and ball and let's not even get started on the fielding

India is the better team in all 3 facets

 

[Billa86]

Need to bowl out Australia under 300 if pakistan are to win this match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a straight up slog with no feet movement.

 

[xbronze]

Very difficult for Australia to score more than 340

 

[IAJ]

He's jumping up and down like he's taken a hattrick. Hopefully that will give him some confidence to bowl a decent length now.

He is just 19 yaar. Let him enjoy

 

[90MPH]

need to bowl 50 overs.

I wanted Wahab but he bowled full and gets a wicket.

Just wish he would stop this short and wide rubbish.

 

[AAli98]

Aus know no score is safe with Imams 3 of 19 anything's chasable.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Can't imagine what Starc will do here 150 KPH swinging yorker to Imam

 

[szundercover]

He's jumping up and down like he's taken a hattrick. Hopefully that will give him some confidence to bowl a decent length now.

Maxwell is the difference between Australia scoring 350 to 300 runs.

 

[Mueez]

Get Shaun Marsh and Warner out in the next 5 overs.

 

[Markhor]

Bowl full length and you get wickets.

Lbw and stumps come into play. Simple isn’t it ?

It's too complex for our Albert Einstein fast bowlers (bar Amir) to process.

 

[obaidshariq]

Maybe the majority which is vocal just like the insane ones who post on social media on a lot of other stuff apart from sports. I respect your opinion as well and was just trying to bring in some positivity. Appreciate your replies though. They were very well composed and not taken personally. Truly admirable!

 

[Cric1234]

Imam to take Starc apart.

Nobody thinks like that it’s just you

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

I will still give slight edge to Pakistan.. 55% in favour of Pakistan right now.

Aus will only score ~350 now that Maxwell is out. I think it should be a walk in the park for the 3rd best batting attack in this competition

Fakhar and Babar must be drooling - waiting for their turn to bat.

 

[watson367]

Is Khawaja not playing today?

 

[szundercover]

Can't imagine what Starc will do here 150 KPH swinging yorker to Imam

our batsman dealt with starc quite easily.

 

[Third Man]

He's jumping up and down like he's taken a hattrick. Hopefully that will give him some confidence to bowl a decent length now.

Happens to you when you take a wicket after getting spanked for a few.

 

[aukhan]

Lo g Hafeez back...6 Overs 56 runs and Sarfraz is continuously feeding them spinners.

 

[IAJ]

Bring on pace from both ends yaar

 

[Hasan123]

Just keep getting wickets.

 

[Markhor]

And Shaheen gets him out . . slap on Sarafarz's face!! Now with Marsh and Warner . . he could have easily bowled hafeez and malik!!

This guy is captain of our national cricket team . . PCB needs captaincy coaches and leadership lessons for bright talent starting under 15!!! Since we don't get educated cricketers, PCB needs to start a program of their own at an early stage . .

When your captain cannot string coherent and intelligent sentences together then what do you expect yaar.

 

[hussain.r97]

He's jumping up and down like he's taken a hattrick. Hopefully that will give him some confidence to bowl a decent length now.

That sort of wicket would really help get rid of the nerves, the celebration is understandable.

 

[Titan24]

Anybody can see at 19 years of age Shaheen has quite a decent set of skills, good pace, good height
he just needs to be managed well

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistan would have been on trouble on the same pitch, Pakistan didn't bowl well early on and take wickets with the new ball.

I agree see how Amir bowled and see HAsan's first over

and even now there is little nibble but terrible stuff from Pakistani bowlers. This was max 250 pitch

 

[Shafi]

Semi finalist will be England, India, Australia and NZ. 4 best teams

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Hafeez comes back again not sure why

 

[IAJ]

Just keep getting wickets.

We have been saying that since ball 1

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are allowing Marsh to settle down.

 

[Khan12]

He's jumping up and down like he's taken a hattrick. Hopefully that will give him some confidence to bowl a decent length now.

You was complaining when he was getting hit rightly so and now complaining when he's taken a wicket. Next time he should start crying , so he can please you.

 

[watchman99]

Get Warner and get em below 300... it's still possible...

 

[hussain.r97]

Anybody can see at 19 years of age Shaheen has quite a decent set of skills, good pace, good height
he just needs to be managed well

Exactly gotta back the kid, he's our best fast bowling talent at the moment.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

No Indian bowler bowled Maxwell like that lol
