Australia v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Brisbane | 22/01/10 | Pakistan Innings

[imshally81]

oh clark in

 

[imshally81]

projected score : 270

 

[ZAK]

1 to Younus

 

[Afridi_Fan]

4/172 in 34

 

[GLORY OF '92]

5 left arm spinners vs us is a great formula.

 

[germanboy]

man 3 overs bowled by non-bowlers.. this give ponting more safety

 

[saeed-sohail]

172/4.

 

[Sledger]

They just need to bat up to the 40th over, no need to slog - aim to go at 5 or 6 an over to set it up for the beast 0(1).

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

overs are quickly getting through and runs are being dried out.

 

[Gollum]

projected score : 270

Need 300 minimum

 

[ads101]

The problem with younis and malik in at the same time is that they both seem to do the same job. In a collapse this would be good as they would be stabilising the innings but in this sort of situation it's not ideal. They should have paired an agressive batsmen with one who stabilises the innings. Afridi probably should have come out before malik really.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

so they suck at odi's too...

 

[saadjhussain]

man 3 overs bowled by non-bowlers.. this give ponting more safety

if we can get 260, i think our spinners will win us this match

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i think we got this batting order sorta wrong....

the way akmal jr plays...u gotta have him at 6 so he can come n have a hit...n have malik at 5 to build an innings

 

[tauseefm]

Well done malik and yk. you are doing a good job

 

[saj001]

Good batting malik

 

[imshally81]

time for taking power playyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Momo]

Frontline batters. Part time bowlers. 1 and 2 run overs. There's something wrong here.

Oh I see. They are pretenders, not batters.

 

[ads101]

projected score : 270

A bit optimistic I think.

I think we'll be out around 240-250.

 

[ZAK]

Another single to Younus. Come on man hit some boundaries.

 

[cricfan967]

8 from that over

 

[Sledger]

Need to keep the run rate above 5, its dropping - 5.1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

4/180 in 35

 

[imshally81]

Partnership 16(24)

 

[saj001]

Oh no bollinger back

 

[tahaqureshi]

these two doing the right thing..many ppl forget that in this period the runs are quietly accumulated

 

[cricfan967]

here comes a wicket

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Another single to Younus. Come on man hit some boundaries.

relax they are 4 down....they gotta build a total till the 42 n then go after it

if we go too strong we might not even get to 270

 

[germanboy]

if we can get 260, i think our spinners will win us this match

yup i also belive 270 wont be bad..

with some support for fast bowler earlier on (our opener played well) and now spinners also getting some help

 

[insaaniyat]

Need to keep the run rate above 5, its dropping - 5.1

it's fine we will get to 280 hopefully Insha Allah

 

[Gollum]

i think we got this batting order sorta wrong....

the way akmal jr plays...u gotta have him at 6 so he can come n have a hit...n have malik at 5 to build an innings

It should be one Anchor with one Hitter. In this case while YK was there they should have sent Afridi. If YK had gotten out, they should have sent Malik.

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

As soon as Afridi comes in take the batting power play

 

[ZAK]

How big is this ground?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Frontline batters. Part time bowlers. 1 and 2 run overs. There's something wrong here.

Oh I see. They are pretenders, not batters.

[imshally81]

I think we'll be out around 240-250.

no my friend
i m sure... we will getz 270 ++++++++++++

 

[tahaqureshi]

bollinger in, expect wicket

 

[cricfan967]

lol i love the way the commentators say salman's name

Salmon Butt

 

[hur rizvi]

Another single to Younus. Come on man hit some boundaries.

We cant afford a wicket down here we cant depend on rana and afridi so its better getting 240 rather than 220 all out

 

[McBoom]

I'd appreciate it much more if he doesn't spread his legs and lies down while performing it.

Looked to me like he was inviting Haddin to join the fun.

 

[cricfan967]

[Sledger]

it's fine we will get to 280 hopefully Insha Allah

I think they need 300 +.

 

[Cheguvera]

Let's see if the numbnut Pak think tank has a effective strategy in place for taking the power play at the right time...

 

[imshally81]

Partnership 22(28)

 

[Inswinger]

These two guys seriously need some steroids.

 

[cricfan967]

As soon as Afridi comes in take the batting power play

yeah and than afridi gets out next ball and we have no specialist batsmen

 

[PapaBear]

Frontline batters. Part time bowlers. 1 and 2 run overs. There's something wrong here.

Oh I see. They are pretenders, not batters.

Ponting knows these two batsmen YK and Malik the menace don't have balls, so he brings part time bowlers and they make 4 runs per over, and we praise Malik and YK.

 

[imshally81]

i think this is not a high scoring pitch ???

 

[Sledger]

I'm not bothered if they go slow for the next 5 overs but they must both stay in and after the 40th play some shots, not much batting to come.

 

[saj001]

egde for 444

 

[Cheguvera]

Good offer...malik...

 

[cricfan967]

Ponting knows these two batsmen YK and Malik the menace don't have balls, so he brings part time bowlers and they make 4 runs per over, and we praise Malik and YK.

Happy?

Rate is 5.18

[Big Mac]

Malik taunting Bollinger by using just the edge of his bat to glide it to the boundary, Dougie so angry you'd think Malik just took the last pie

 

[saj001]

watson in

 

[ads101]

i think this is not a high scoring pitch ???

I thought it was...

I don't think we need 300+. Anything around 270-280 and pressure is on Australia.

 

[tahaqureshi]

bollinger damn pissed!

 

[ZAK]

should inject with some nandrolone or he might not be able to hit a boundary

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

bhalo (bollinger) is upset

 

[PapaBear]

Not many overs to go either, this is how ODI used to be played in the 90's, leave everything for the last 10 overs and then collapse.

 

[Shezada]

Maliks strike rate 90

 

[Inswinger]

Dougie seems to be an emotional fella.

 

[Cheguvera]

i think this is not a high scoring pitch ???

If Butt can hit his once in a blue moon boundary filled innings...then its not anything but a high scoring pitch...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Twatsom on.

 

[tauseefm]

i seriously don't know which team all of you guys have been watching for years? Have you ever seen us playing shots from 20 to 40 overs? i think we have been doing pretty good job. With yk our bating has become more stronger. Well people can score quick 20 but they actually need to stay on the wicket which yk is doing.

 

[Cheguvera]

That was two YK...

 

[namak]

I wonder how many more lives YK will get in this innings

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

back guys!!!!

four!!! muaaaah to Inswinger

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

It should be one Anchor with one Hitter. In this case while YK was there they should have sent Afridi. If YK had gotten out, they should have sent Malik.

not always...bc if afridi got out then there would no hitters left...u first need a launching pad

u=younis is bbuilding a partnersship with a man who was responsible for his ouster good patriotism

Credit goes to Younis for taking the quick single on the previous ball.

 

[tauseefm]

I wonder how many more lives YK will get in this innings

could u plz tell us how many of his catches have been dropped?

 

[Sledger]

YK SR going up!

they play good together

 

[imshally81]

single single & single

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

yeah and than afridi gets out next ball and we have no specialist batsmen

Its too early to take the power play now plus power play will help Afridi survive for little longer.
