Australia v Pakistan | 2015 World Cup | Quarter-Finals | 20th March, 2015 | Adelaide | Aus innings

[JibranAnsari]

We had recovered from that batting performance. One more wicket at 80 odd with Maxwell in would have put the game back into balance.

Yah , there is never a perfect game with pakistan fielding.

Batting is more responsible for our pathetic position.

Imagine we defending 280 odd, we would have bowled with more freedom.

 

[Bilal7]

Didn't you just say that he wasn't a match winner?

I stand corrected, sir. I'm still living in the time when Smith was a nothing batsman that I used to make fun of.

 

[H2O1]

Did afridi even take a single wicket this tournament ?

2 against uae i think

Good thing Amir is on his way back.

Yes we need the Khalnayak. He'll strut back on the ground in chains and long greasy hair a la sanjay

 

[mon858]

Why isn't he bowling Ehsan? Why was he in the team?

for batting, helped us bat around 8-10 overs i think.

 

[Iffitheking]

Haris is bowling much better... than overrated useless Afridi....

 

[hamzie]

just bring wahab
let him bowl all his overs at least

 

[Silverlion]

Its like Afridi is bowling bad purposely.

exactly. May be he does not want to see misbah making it to the final.

 

[ahanank]

Yeah, haha. Amir probably has all their qualities but we could build another via some DNA splicing. :jurassicworld

No. Too much effort.
Just open a gym for him. And get him the job of a physical trainer.
Easily done.

 

[mon858]

why the hell are bowling spin , misbah

over-rate, he doesn't want to sit out of semi final

 

[akamaka]

just bring wahab
let him bowl all his overs at least

i know right, i mean what is he waiting for ?

 

[ahanank]

exactly. May be he does not want to see misbah making it to the final.

He is screwing himself, too, in that case.

 

[SAF]

South Africa lost their last 5 wkts for only 49. We need some magic now

 

[hamzie]

misbahs being an idiot now

 

[hk031992]

Wahab needs one more spell, it won't be enough but he might pick up a couple more

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Afridi getting hammered now.

 

[Convict]

I stand corrected, sir. I'm still living in the time when Smith was a nothing batsman that I used to make fun of.

Fair enough.

 

[Mamoon]

Look at Amir. Barely any muscle and bowls much much faster than Sohail.

Brute strength is always overrated in sports, it's all about the mechanics. Sohail will knock Amir out but can't bowl half as quick as him.

Brock Lesnar won't be able to hit a longer drive than Mcllroy.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Afridi just can you stop being a liability please?

 

[JaDed]

Amazing, isn't it?
We lose the momentum, we lost the game.
That's usually how it is.

We need to tell them the match is not for 50 overs and damnit

 

[akamaka]

misbah use your brain

 

[Jabo]

Both selfie stars should get dropped

Well afridi retiring but Shehzad must get dropped

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bring back Wahab, that's your only hope.

 

[SamNJ]

If Afridi was in some other country he would have been thrown into the dustbin long ago.
Only Pakistan has so many fangirls to see this epitome of mediocrity give them goosebumps.

 

[Pantani]

Shame it's petering out.

 

[JellyBro]

Even if what takes a couple of wickets, the rest of our bowlers look absolutely ordinary with their 135kph deliveries and won't be of any help

 

[Barragan]

Why has Ehsan only bowled 2 overs?

Would have been a better option with his height and troubled Watson more so than Sohail.

 

[akamaka]

afridi hasn't bowled a single wrongun

 

[rhony]

We had recovered from that batting performance. One more wicket at 80 odd with Maxwell in would have put the game back into balance.

It would have been game over

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Afridi did what he has been doing for 400 matches: played a selfish senseless innings and remained innocuous while bowling.

 

[hamzie]

why adil over wahab?

 

[CPU_1]

Watson gonna hit 50 frustrating

[Cricketfan no 1]

For God sake bring Wahab back , match is slipping away and he Misbah will get back Wahab when the score would be 180

 

[super hitter]

score?

 

[nads_rocks]

Well the bad news for India is we brought Watson back into form for the aussies...

 

[akamaka]

smith really has owned us today

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like we are out, sadly the lack of support for wahab while bowling hasnt helped also batting wise we didnt get enough runs.

 

[Convict]

Watson gonna hit 50 frustrating

People who only look at the scorecard on cricinfo will think that he and Smith have batted about as well as each other.

Which is why when you go back to domestic cricket- you can't judge a player just on his stats

 

[super hitter]

hmmmm...

 

[Iffitheking]

What Misbah is worried about the time?? He won't be playing any match after losing this match...

 

[mon858]

Adil has been so useless. should have not even been in squad, would have taken the pace of wayward sami over him.
or from squad maybe another batsman in place of him.

 

[hamzie]

:

 

[JellyBro]

I think this has to be the first tournament where we haven't played a genuine all rounder . The talunt has certainly dried up

 

[nads_rocks]

Wicket falls but is it too little too late?

 

[Mamoon]

Pathetic performance barring Wahab.

 

[akamaka]

some hope

 

[Barragan]

Ehsan gets one.

 

[Jabo]

Hatrick please

Only way we get back in game lol

 

[Convict]

I blame you Finch

 

[JaDed]

massive

 

[akamaka]

cmon boys 6 good balls :AAG

 

[hamzie]

need to get another 2 wickets within 5 overs if we are to have any hope
no reason to celebrate that wicket

 

[Watsupdoc]

Out!!!

Why didn't he bring Ehsan on earlier

Kept on persisting with Afridi and Harris.

 

[mon858]

woo hoo, no reffereals thanks finch.

 

[desi_launda]

Hai junoon hai jazba tu himmat na har

 

[rhony]

Huge wicket. Bring Wahab now

 

[SAF]

Goneee

 

[akamaka]

I blame you Finch

knew that review would be needed

 

[JaDed]

Bring in Wahab from other end no point stretching the match!

 

[Amjid Javed]

smith gone, get wahab back on now please!

 

[super hitter]

no need of it they've done it

 

[JibranAnsari]

Too late in the day.

Maxwell will finish it in 6 overs

 

[shobiii]

keep on fighting boyyyyyz!

 

[SamNJ]

A bit too late as Afridi has already did it for Australia.

 

[JaDed]

Lol Finch ahhahaha

 

[SAF]

Need wahab back now

 

[mon858]

What Misbah is worried about the time?? He won't be playing any match after losing this match...

he knows something you dont know he wants to play semi final.

 

[hamzie]

bring wahab now please

 

[Jabo]

We'll get maxwell quick

Just hope he doesn't hit a quick 20

 

[JellyBro]

Average delivery but gets a wicket. we will take it lol

 

[Electron]

Wahab ko waapis laao

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wonderful innings given the circumstances.


Hazelwood or Smithies for Man of the match.

 

[Itachi]

ehsan adil doesn't look threatening,

 

[hamzie]

time for wahab to bowl 4 in a row

 

[Shafi]

Both Australia, India, South Africa and NZ are quality teams. Others are really just traveling!!!

 

[JaDed]

And bangladesh students hold strike for S Smith

 

[Iffitheking]

knew that review would be needed

It was umprie call anyways...

 

[Sunny786]

Smith has done the damage

 

[UpInTheAir]

Man Watson.... Why Rahat? Why?

 

[JellyBro]

2 more wickets needed in the next 5 overs
