Pakistan seriously needs to try four fast bowlers. That is what Afridi brings the attacking approach in T20, and perhaps, Yousuf should try the same. This is Australia pitch we are talking about and the pitch was great for fast bowlers and i think we were short of one fast bowler.
 
Don't worry guys.

The PCB wants us to be patient with the seniors because this is a young team if that makes any sense? :))

Anyway, well played Australia. A chaseable target though. 300 or more is the standard nowadays and Pakistan didn't get that.

The turning point was the defensive mindset of the captain even before the match started ;-) and continued defensive field placings for even new batsmen. He was worried 275 were too less and they were in the end anyways
 
Can't see Pakistan putting up a bigger score in this series than that tbh.

Fair enough Butt dropped that catch, but I dont think it
was crutial in the context of the game. Clark was run out
soon after.

The captaincy on the other hand was a totally different
matter.

was it not white who was dropped????

Butts drop was the nail in the coffin...The games was being lost when the fielders were spread early and White and Clark milked us for runs...The amount of singles they took was just astonishing...

We can argue about the amount of runs we should have scored but the FACT remains that the Aussies had to break a record to chase this total down at the GABBA and had we applied the right pressure on the field then we should have won this game!!!

Thats not taking anything away from the Aussie Batsmen, they played brilliantly, but they were assisted by Moyo who seems to lack all captaincy credendtials...
 
we cant blame afridi he was awesome with the bat and great in the field he was also seen giving advise to yousuf on the field a few times

This is where i agree whole-heartedly with you ... Never was, never is, never will be a great captain and instrumental leader.
 
Pakistan really missing a trick, only two natural leaders of men in this team are Afridi and Younis.
 
i dont believe it I feel so bad for MOYO this guy is an amazing player but not Captain Material i think PCB ruined his life by making him Captain over Afridi. I really really hope Moyo finds some form in the next match i really wanna see him do well
 
Pakistan fell 20-25 runs short, no doubt about it.

From the launching pad the openers gave, Pakistan should have made 290+, instead the batsmen threw their wicket away. In the end, Afridi's innings made this match competitive.
 
predictions what Yousaf will say at the presentation :moyo

we tried hard it was in allah's hands next match we will do better
 
Not a bad match. We did put up a fight atleast. One dropped catch, poor captaincy and fielding let us down.

Time to head to bed finally! 6.21AM

He set a target of 275, which is never a winning total. I believe these commentators also are part of conspiracy and kept saying 275 would be a winning total, and that is what Pakistan set for themselves a target.
Next time target 300 from the word go and dont be content with 300 if you can even make more, go for it.

Ok. Thanks for letting us all Non sense criket followers.

Guys we got a genius here. Let him show us the way.
 
Aus were amazing, to be fair. White, that was a top innings but this outfit is very tough to beat.

Rana let us overall, he is no razzaq and Gul should play over him.

34.2

Mohammad Aamer to Clarke, 2 runs, dropped, how costly will that prove? Short on middle, went for the pull, got the top edge and Butt at fine leg got into a good position but spilled it once he'd got underneath, the crowd cheer behind him, that must hurt

As i said, when win all hail Afridi ...
When he bowls you to a loss, all curse Afridi
Never teamwork ... its all about Afridi winning you games or Afridi losing you games...
This is a pakistani team guys... if he bowled one poor over... why cudnt someone else bowl a double wicket over like Clint Mckay
We always try to find someone to make the scapegoat... and this case its poor Afridi who gets the blame.
 
In the last four overs of the pakistan innings they only managed to score 12 runs :O thats what made the difference i think they should have atleast scored 30 odd runs. But it was the tail. Malik and umar got out playing horrific strokes. But they will learn from their mistakes

Immediately drop Malik and bring in Fawad bring Gul for Rana, Rao for Ajmal. Ajmal is useless.

It is too late for Shoaib the Menace to learn anything now.
 
Like in the tests, Pakistan do the same thing in ODIs. Dominate for about 70% of the game and then don't know how to grind the opposition out.

Ajmal has been a matchwinner for us, had an off game and he'll come back strong.

Ajmal has been worked out by Australia. Just keep coming down the track to him and eventually he'll stop both the doosra and off break and just bowl flat. This is what Clarke did and Ajmal started bowling arm balls each over.

thats because the number of courageless and selfish players in our team have exceeded the number of moderate, fighters and team players

Afridi has won us many matches, can't blame him here, it was just top batting.
Click to expand...
Yep, very harsh to blame Afridi - the only ODI matchwinner in this side.
 
Next game ajmal should be dropped for RAO.
aND Fawab bought in for yousuf.
with afridi captain
and shoaib malik vice captain
 
every ballers have their share of it. I believe that all the top ballers have had gone for a few in an over. I think afridi played really well and i think that last over really done him. We didn't lose the game because of afridi, how ever we lost the match because of drop catches and not so good batting from our batsmen. Afridi was the stand our performer from pak side. We all the pakistan cricket followers should aplaud him rather then critisize our best player in this format.

Why play ajmal in the wicket that didn't offer him much. And not play him in sydney where the wicket is good for the spinners. Ajmal should play in Sydney and after that i don't know. How ever rana has to make way for gul.
 
We can not afford to rest Ajmal. He is the must for team, but shouldn't Pakistan team try four fast bowlers along with one specialist spinner (Ajmal) and alrounder (Afridi). That is what Afridi used this approach in two T20 matches against New Zealand.

Lol, is this serious?

He would get spanked. He's another average bowler.

Hes in good form of late taking 5/4 a game. he should be given a chance as he is also a specialist odi bowler. he can swing the ball and has control of his line and length :inti

Dude, he has a bowling average of 94.50 and a strike rate of 126 against Australia. Australian batsmen would love to face him to pad their stats. Sure he has the ability of pick up wickets, but he also has the ability to get spanked around the park.

Being in good form is one thing but translating that form onto the elite level is another thing (as demonstrated by Ranadinho).

Pakistan should select team on condition basis.As we have so many different type of players for different conditions. Ajmals inclusion in this pitch was a mistake. I think Gul would've been a better option for the Gabba. It would be really stupit now to drop Ajmal in Sydney where the condition and pitch help his cause.
 
Australia will whitewash in ODIs as well, dont worry about Pakistan they will play like the way they played in the Tests and 1st ODI.
