Australia v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Melbourne | Jan 15, 2017 | Australia Innings

Aussie Commies have gone from saying 280/290 will be a competitive score to 220/230 should be a competitive total.
 
It's been a great 1st innings, lets savor this moment cause I have no hope from this Pakistani batting lineup. :misbah3
 
Junaid bowling well but there is something in his action that doesn't seem right. Need to see a slow mo of his action.
 
I can't believe that was given not out. Huge edge an even from the TV screen it was completely obvious.
 
SIF, have you seen Junaid's action?

I had cast doubts on his action a year or two back itself.

I had cast doubts on them last week.

Not surprised people are doubting them now.

The only mystery for me is how Al Amin cleared ICC tests with his action. Check that. You will be shocked.
 
yes every one who dont know what the laws are. You can bowl with a bent arm,
 
Man this has been one of the greatest bowling performances I've seen from Pakistan in recent matches.
 
This is THE best chance we'll get to keep the series alive. Need the batsmen to stand up now.
 
If Cummins didn't walk - umpire would still not have given this out :facepalm:

I never noticed it before, but wow it seems so damn blatant. I never thought he chucked until I randomly switched over to see him bowling today. First thing I thought was "Damn, who is this chucker?" before glazing over to the name...

Yes, because in recent times, you have only seen PAK bowling under gentlemen Captains.
 
I honestly wasn't expecting this after we capitulated in the 1st ODI ... bowlers did their job, up to the batsmen now. Open with Sharjeel & Umar and tell them to go guns and blazing!
 
3 Umpires for this game are Chris Gafney, Paul WIlson (Local umpire) and Sahmsud Din...
Not one is credible lol
 
If Australia score 240, they will certainly win. Anything less, 65-35 in favor of Australia.
 
People talking about actions look at Junaid action Side on rather than front on. You see no jerking and that is the key.
 
So, it's about playing out 50 overs - Azhar would have been handy today; but along comes his Captaincy:(
 
We need to show patience with Junaid Khan now. Even if he goes a bit in the next match, we need to play him for the entire series here. Wahab should be nowhere this team. He is quite possibly the most brainless bowler we've ever had and I'm including Ata-ur-Rehman in that debate. Says a lot about Wahab.
 
Aussie Commies have gone from saying 280/290 will be a competitive score to 220/230 should be a competitive total.

Forget that I was watching pre match commentary and one of them said Aus could score 400 today :yk
 
Poor from AUS. excellent bowling by PAK. This will be a tension filled chase and will go down to the wire. surely PAK favourites from here?
 
Great bowling by Pakistan - hope we chase this down!
 
Fantastic bowling, should be able to gun this down if Sharjeel does a blitzkrieg.
 
Aussies missed Wahab today - easily could have set 270 ..............
 
Amir and Junaid should be permanent part of our squad. Junaid made a huge difference today with his swing and seam bowling with new ball.

Keep these Azhar and misbah favorites Rahat+Imran+Sohail+Irfan+Wahab away from our team.
 
Plan should be to give Sharjeel a freehand.

A quick 30 runs will go a long way on this pitch.

240 would probably be a winning score. Its not often you see Smith and Warner go at those strike rates.

Pak did well to restrict them to 220.
 
Impressed with Hafeez's captaincy Azhar hasn't been able to finish a team off Hafeez showed how to do it today in his first match as ODI captain!
