Wonders of live feed...you get to hear all the off-mic conversation...tubby, warnie and Mark postulation on the correct pronunciation of Ajmal....hilarious...
 
Hey guys,

No ponting and inexperienced Aus team. Great chance for Pak if we can dominate the first session. I hope the guys have high confidence.
 
Anyone watching this on TenSports?
They are showing cricket classics :D
It's making me feel sad :( I want the old team back :(
Wasim Akram just took Gibbs wicket :D

How were the teams announced without the toss being done?

Commentators get the lineups a little ahead of the toss...so they announced it...

oh fantastic

the coverage hasn't started here yet
It will probably begin 5-10 minutes before the first ball

Shane Warne is doing a intro right about now...will be part of the commentating team...

Good.I think he is a decent addition to the channel 9's team
 
Warne will be fun to listen to, He didn't commentate in the recent Aus-WI matches as far as I know.

Is it the 2000 Sharjah Cup Final ?

Was Hansie Cronje's last match. Best remembered for Waqar superb last spell where he took 4 wickets with reserve swinging full pitched deliveries.

Yup I was watching that waiting for the match

Seen that match many times before

Waqar was on fire with the ball during that tournament. We ended up beating RSA in the final.

This tournament feautured Nazir and YK for the first time ever in ODIs.

btw did you see the Kallis catch?

I'm not sure because I only started watching it like ten minutes ago...
But it could well be.....
Yeah, I saw Cronje and it made me want to cry :(
 
If itsa flat pitch please no Rauf you need pace on a flat itch
 
We need to win the toss and bat first, otherwise could be a long hard in the field.
If PAK do bowl first then Asif and Aamer will have to extract whatever movement on offer in the first hour or so otherwise the pitch will probably flatten out very quickly.

ofcourse I did

whenever Nazir and Afridi will have a 100+ partnership you should never miss it for the world.
It was a comparitively responsible innings by both. We just went at 6 per over.
 
Aussies will be batting most likely...not a good sign for Pakistan...can't bat in the fourth innings to save their lives...
 
10.00am The news from the middle, Australia have won the toss and opted to bat.

Oh bhai
What cricket do you play?

Toss always happens exactly 30 minutes before a game for any format
unless there is rain

Thank you boss, its a pleasure watching the match with you :D

Lets hope aamer gets the wicket in his first over.
 
****, I wanted us to bat

Can not afford Aussies to get much more than 250 tbh
 
10.00am The news from the middle, Australia have won the toss and opted to bat. Ricky Ponting has recovered from his elbow injury and is playing.

T20, ODis, Tests and all first class matches toss is exaclty 30 minutes before a game
 
Cheguvera said:
Aright the lineup was wrong...Ajmal and Rauf in for Kaneria and Gul....
Click to expand...

oh no that means we are in for a stick!!! no kaneria means , ajmal will be taken to cleaners. I hope i am wrong but ajmal is not the quality as Kaneria.

what happened to Gul by the way??? he was alright a day or two before.
 
Danish is shown to be almost crying...looks like he could have played...big time politics going on...
