Australia v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Sydney | 23/01/10 [Pak Inngs]

[dirk diggler]

if we had Aus 7/72, moyo would have spread the field!

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Plz retire hojo Mr Butt

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not really, it is quite irresponsible to just throw away your wicket with 30 overs to go. The situation demanded him to stay at the wicket and not try to hit every ball out of the park. Remember Aamer against NZ? But Afridi is such an irresponsible batsman as we saw today that the guy doesn't even have the patience to stand there and fight the long fight, IMO quite cowardly to take the easy way out instead of fighting it out and controling his urges. Just a glimpse of his immaturity.

Ban

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rana to play the innings of his life.. and win us the match

 

[abdul2009]

personally wouldnt be upset for losing to aussies....
Sometimes you go to give it up to the superior team, there is no shame in it

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I wana hide behind Shilpa

You bet

 

[tauseefm]

what the hell did Siddle have for lunch today?!!!

Some spicy food, thats why he is running in and bowling phast

 

[insaaniyat]

Absolutely agree with that, but also, each guy needs to play his natural game and do what he's best at. Afridi cannot block for 20 overs - not capable of it. So he might as well go for his shots and get us to 150 or something. The other guys, yes they should block. Yousuf has the technique and the temperament now to easily play the remaining 20 overs in Test match mode - he should attempt to do it (provided the tail supports him).

Well I told you he doesn't ever give back to back performance with his bat. However, this is how he plays, and he needed to hit the ball. I don't blame him at this point. It was our top order who messed up.

Why was Kamran so reluctant, when in fact he is always playing his shot. 30 runs or so from him could have changed the course, who knows

 

[KA$H]

extremely disappointing lack of fight in teh team today

lets blame teh captain shall we

great knocks from all of the wannabe skippers!

 

[bala977]

Hey balaIndian977,

Where were you two days ago, when Afridi scored 48 off 26 balls? And took MOM awards for Southwales?

And what about that great all round performance during T20 final against Srilanka? How about that destruction of Indian bowlers in Chennai all those years back? Surely ... those performances will magically get you from 7/72 to 269 today?

 

[ZAK]

what the hell did Siddle have for lunch today?!!!

Khanzeer

 

[ShehryarK]

Jub kernay ki bari thi wahan per T20 ki tarah khail rahay thay sarkar

Agreed - and your point is? He played poorly, the team lost, he acknowledged and admitted his mistakes.... so the relevance of that now is what, exactly?

 

[saadjhussain]

really disappointed by their performance today. butt has announced that the captain will be sacked, can't wait to see the replacement

rana to hit a six

[AZ]

you make a decent point bala, but the off-topic IPL BS was not required

 

[Khabri420]

At least something got you posting...good to come out of hibernation.

A textbook definition of a troll from across the border.

No they won't. But still that Kanpur destruction hurts. Doesn't it?

 

[insaaniyat]

Kharay honay ki jaga day do latnay ki main khud hi bana lon ga

 

[saadjhussain]

rana will become captain now. pak cricket at its best

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If Rana is an All rounder, why does he come in the team after Aamir ?

 

[ShehryarK]

Well I told you he doesn't ever give back to back performance with his bat. However, this is how he plays, and he needed to hit the ball. I don't blame him at this point. It was our top order who messed up.

Absolutely agreed. The match was lost well before Afridi walked in today...!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

cmon Rana, take this as a 20-20 game now and get the f in!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:rana to open in next game.

Surely he can't do worst than

 

[bala977]

) Lol. Fair point ... but today being a Sunday, I got up early and have been pulling for Pak since early AM.... and it is frustrating

 

[dirk diggler]

rana showing intent

 

[Afridi_Fan]

If Rana is an All rounder, why does he come in the team after Aamir ?

Because :aamir is also an All-Rounder.

Because we are an All-Rounder Team.

 

[Khabri420]

Nah, I just think you pulled an all-nighter.

you didn't see the innnings i saw

he was a beastly beast animal destructing destroyer when he beastly lobbed that pull edge to be caught and bowled by someone as irritating as twatson

oh and he would have batted more responsibly if he was captain - LOL

 

[flawed_genius]

Because :aamir is also an All-Rounder.

Because we are an All-Rounder Team.

All-round @ sucking.

 

[saadjhussain]

the under 19 team would have shown more fight

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

rana in double figures guys!!!

 

[IAJ]

If Rana is an All rounder, why does he come in the team after Aamir ?

Because Aamer is a better "allrounder" than him

 

[ZAK]

 

[IAJ]

They should take powerplay and smash 100 runs in those 5 overs!!!

 

[saadjhussain]

yousuf playing a "captain's" innings ) )

fire all these guys and bring them in

Its almost 3 PM in Pakistan. is that early, if you are a Pakistani?

 

[Garuda]

No offence guys but Bangladesh no 8 actually fought out a gem of an innings. Who said patience doesn't pay. Something pakistan team lacks while batting.

Well played Mahmudullah 96* (unfortunately ran out of partners)

 

[amar1212]

this is just sad..pathetic effort from these so called "seniors" yunis should retire for real this time..whatever happened "Mr next Miandad" Umer Akmal.????..


this fatass coach needs to stop eating parathas and biryanees and start working with the players or get his motu ass out of here....how long will it take for PCB to realize that we need a damn batting coach!!!!

 

[ZAK]

Poor Mahmudullah fails to get his maiden Test century as the number 11 Rubel Hossain falls to Harbhajan Singh.

 

[Raz]

And people are protesting just because this moron was not selected into an IPL team? There are 30 overs ... 210 runs .... I wont mind him getting out to a similar shot in 41st over ... but in the 21st ?? Ridiculous

Also, I hear some much noise about the T20 in West Indies as if Pak will win it without any question! excuse me ... last time was more an aberration than routine.

If you were a franchise owner and spending $250K minimum out of your pocket .. which player from the current pak lot will you pick? It is easy to deride Modi/Shilpa & Co, but of course, you are not the one spending !!

Why don't you crawl back into the smelly hole you came out from? Thre required rate was well over 7 an over when Afridi came to bat. Yousuf was struggling to take any singles, so why not go for it. Afridi plays to win, he couldn't give a monkey's about his average. He is immune to that Indian- flavoured disease.

Pakistan's last win the T20 was aberration? Haha, were you just born stupid or have you gradually managed to perfect the art? FYO, Pakistan is the best T20 side in the world and your beloved statistics testify to that.

Afridi is regarded as certainly one of the best T20 players in the world. That's from cricketers themselves, not some Bollywood bimbos, who know jack all about the sport, but give comments out, like Richie Benaud gave birth to them.

 

[cricketpassion]

10 needed for 100 .

 

[tauseefm]

Its almost 3 PM in Pakistan. is that early, if you are a Pakistani?

its 4:52 am here in Canada and i am still up

 

[ShehryarK]

fire all these guys and bring them in

We should try that as an experiment for a series or two.

What's the worse that could happen? We'd get thrashed? And humiliated?

Well...a bit like what's already happening then

Might as well give the kids a go and see what they're made of

 

[saadjhussain]

yousuf improvises to hit it straight to the fielder )

 

[zaid65]

Match is still not finished, Afridi is still to come.

 

[insaaniyat]

hahaha you mean captain planets inning? ) )

at least he scored more then iQuit Captain Hook)

Who knows - Rana with hair may outdo everyone...

Pwaned.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

In Pakistan line-up even Ajmal would qualify as an all rounder ...
or perhaps Gul

Rana on 12

 

[saadjhussain]

gul would qualify as a genuine batsman with this line up

 

[tauseefm]

where were u in the 1st ODI? oh wait bolti band thi us waqat to tumhari

 

[ShehryarK]

Exactly. We've been the best T20 side since that form of cricket began. Only an ill-informed idiot would deny this. At the moment, we are comfortably ahead of all the other teams in T20s.

 

[amar1212]

Match is still not finished, Afridi is still to come.

what match r u watching?

 

[slix10]

) .Yes let's bring up matches years ago and not talk about the current.

I criticize Afridi well when he's not performing.

But the idiocy and unnecessary hatred for a player just because he wears green is going to hold you back my friend.
