Tough total to defend that. Spin will be the key and need to get Ponting in (and out) early.
 
Good score. But as Pakistani fans we will always dvelve in the what ifs.

262 are 46 so 274 is disappointing

Well still in a very good chance
 
Sigh. If Rana was selected for his batting prowess, I think it was a mistake. Gul would have done better. Lets see how he bowls.
 
Rana made 8, I expect his economy rate to be very much the same!
 
aah man i would have loved to see the score 300 but sadly we lost wickets!

but no worries, score is pretty good.

I reckon if we keep them at 4 rpo we will have a better chance of winning the game cuz i dont see them scoring with a bang in the last 10 overs as they dont have symonds anymore :)

If it wasnt for that 46 though, we'd be 250 odd all out, with Afridi scoring 56 off 34, OR

200 all out with Afridi 10 off 12 bulging under the pressure

Rana pretty useless there, Gul is a better option.

Rana faced 11 balls for 8. He did not get much of the strike. After Afridi got out he faced only 4 balls.

You would have hoped to get even that from Gul.
 
So much for Rana being an all-rounder. Hopefully he is not too costly when bowling.
Seriously missing Razzaq right now, but still a good total by Pakistan.

If YK hadn't been out there...Pakistan would have been dismissed in less then 35 overs....with Umar Akmal, Malik, Rana, Afridi and Amir in the middle and lower middle order, this batting lineup implodes a lot more often then it does anything else...
 
Poor total IMO. Should have aimed for around 290-310. YK killed all the momentum built up by Butt and Kami at the top. Australia have a very strong batting line-up so I am not too confident that we will be able to defend this total, on a very good pitch too. Gul should have played this match, the pitch suits his type of bowling more than Rana's

Rana has never performed on the international stage with the bat. I dunno how we sudenly expected him to pull through for us.

If we were hoping naved to make some quick runs, you could slot him in the middle and tell him to slog. But at the tail he has to bat with responsibility, rotate the strike and protect the tail from getting out. That really is unlikely to happen.

Him and his mate Juggernaut are polishing their faces with cherry blossom. :D
 
I think Rana's bowling will be as painful for him as it was when the doctors were removing the hair from his bits and bobs to place on his head.

:)) :))

But the point yaar is that YK's slow SR didn't hurt us - we didn't even play out the full 50 overs as it is. The last three overs, we barely got a run. Hence, doesn't matter in the final analysis what YK's strike rate was - at least he got some runs on the board.

Of course, if Afridi had played like this for 10 more over ;-) But that would be unrealistic expectations too - 20 to 30 balls is about average when one is taking such risks.
 
Just when I thought Pakistani players couldn't get any Dumber. What on the face of this earth made Rana cross, on the last ball....so Asif would've had to face the last over. IS HE REALLY THAT DUMB AND STUPID?
The answer is yes, remember his repeated slower balls to Sehwag, even though he kept wacking him out of the park? Because of Rana, we are about 15-20 runs short....and this could very well be the difference between winning and losing.
 
i think we dont have enough, people are rating our bowling too highly. Afridi and Ajmal overs are key, and they will be low key, otherwise everyone else will get hit. Moyo needs to make sure the fielding setting is well adjusted for, and especially no dropped catches!!!

Agreed.
They both have different roles. Good innings by both. Younis was slow, but if it wasn't for him all the other players wouldn't be able to do what they did. He was needed.
 
we have lost at least 6-7 runs more with the brainless running between the wicket in the death overs...why the hell did Rana cross over with Ajmal on the last ball of the 49th over?! :pissed:

anyway, really good score, credit to Butt, YK, Kami, Malik and of course the Afridi!
 
Why are we worried? 274 is very good. We have the bowlers to get them out. Cheer, the match is in the bag:) Insha Allah

Rana actually managed to get the bat to touch the ball, that's more than Razzaq has been capable of recently.

maybe you should pull up Abdul Razzaqs scores before making such a baseless comment. Abdul Razzaq has done his bit to accelerate even recently at the end of the innings. Look at his scores. Rana is useful but cannot be compared to him.

Let me edit that to, IF afridi hadnt played his cameo the Aussies would be chasing 240 odd....
Possibilities never end my friend, IF's and BUT's are never good enough ;-)

The Aussie batsmen will be getting thappar from the back of his hand if they try and talk back to Ranadinho
 
I MISSED IT! WHEN I GOT UP FROM BED...my stream showed the number of runs Australia had to make!!! :po:

=[
no way...I dont want to watch highlights!WAAAAHH =|
 
from cricinfo:
Pakistan have much to thank Afridi for, as his late surge took them to a target that should test the Australians.
 
well rana didnt know ajmal is gonna get out, it was ajmal's call for run, and in tht situation every run is necessary, thts y he ran, he cant sense the future guys, it was his instinct to run
 
This would have been a big score maybe 3-4 years ago but nowdays about 270 is par.

In that context YK played gem of an innings.

Then don't blame YK...as it stands he scored more then 2 Akmals, Yousuf, Malik, and Rana...so his contribution was valuable regardless of the number of balls played as the final score was above par for Pakistan...
 
I have a script... once again...
Unless Afridi or Ajmal , one of them can really trouble the Australians they will coast home in 45 overs...
One of the spinners has to bowl us to victory...
 
and comparing rana to razzaq is stupid, if razzaq was not injured he wud be plying, even afridi agreed tht razzaq is one of the best allrounders in the side

I agree
 
We have enough runs

you guys making me laugh this si no easy wicket , under lights will do a bit and there is bounce , spin
What more do you want?
 
The fast bowlers need to keep the Aus less than 6 an over in the first 15 overs so Afridi and Ajmal can do their stuff. If they score more than that Afridi and Ajmal wont be able to put much pressure on the Aus lineup. As they are the most dangerous when batsman try to go after them.

Personally think we are about 45 runs short, but we will see how we do with Asif/Rana/Aamer/Afridi

I wouldn't go as far as that, I'd say Butt's innings was much more of a gem, as he faced the new ball, plus combined aggression with defence. YK was more defensive, very little aggression and poor timing - but it was a useful contribution. Given that he's just come back after a long lay-off, it was a very solid and gutsy outing for him.
 
We are 30 runs short, because we have Rana who gives away too many runs, economy of 5.6

The amount of faith you put in Rana in Odi bowling to international sides of late is flabbergasting ... :13:
