Australia v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Adelaide | 26/01/10 | Pak Innings

[Shezada]

So we are about to lose 3rd odi..

cant show any support or positivity after seeing this fielding performance. none of these players look motivated, even afridi. kamrans the only one doing the shouting at the back trying to keep everyone awake. this is going to be yet another failure. gotta face it, we just suck as a team. couldnt even beat nz, and now are getting whitewashed by aussies. we need brand new players for our formats. babar azam was a good move, but not wise for t20...

you guys can say as much as you like in here, 'oh we are going to win just watch', but when we do, get back to me in this thread

[insaftak]

Shut the **** up

 

[insaftak]

Let me edit my post, thank you gulldozer

 

[MIG]

Can we stop a 3-0 mauling...?

287 to win....

 

[flawed_genius]

Perhaps instead of coming out and taking a defensive approach, Pakistan can go for broke.

All or nothing left now, really.

 

[*sallu*]

Well
You never ever know
It takes only one innings

Not hoping for much though

 

[germanboy]

InschAllah

 

[MIG]

On the contrary, they need a measured approach - we only have one chance here - cant mess it up...

 

[iafzal]

OK prediction time how much will Pakistan score as many of have written us off to chase this one?

 

[*sallu*]

Going to be a very very difficult chase

The ball starts misbehaving under lights
and there is turn on offer
and the aussie fielders and our runners will add up to add an extra 50 to the target

So lets see, one from Afridi and/or Akmal will have to play a cameo

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

thank fk to Gul!!! 23 runs off the over killed it for us!!!

I dont know how we can chase this score. Prolly need a blinder of an innings by Salman Butt or Younis Khan.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I dont want to spoil the aspirations of many of our fans here... but 286 was beyond reach for us even in tests

 

[Lethal]

InshaALLAH we will chase it down.

I'll watch the first hour and then I'm off to uni.

Good luck Pakistan.

 

[UP]

Nothing is impossible.

 

[iafzal]

I dont want to spoil the aspirations of many of our fans here... but 286 was beyond reach for us even in tests

 

[saadjhussain]

we went for caution last match, got hammered. i say play aggressively and get hammered. doesn't look as bad

 

[SAM'S]

Pakistan is the only team who loses in impossible situations. but right now wining seems impossible. i would say <b>Impossible is nothing</b>. go green shirts!

 

[tahaqureshi]

I actually don't feel like pakistan deserve a win

 

[Dr_Bassim]

i hope they make 287 /0
but realistically they will fall short by about 80 singles they gave to Clarke and White and Marsh

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nothing is impossible.

Youtube.

 

[ShehryarK]

I dont want to spoil the aspirations of many of our fans here... but 286 was beyond reach for us even in tests

LOL! Good point.

To be fair, its easier to score in ODIs than in Tests.

 

[iafzal]

just looks stupid and immature

 

[tahaqureshi]

Mickey Arthur has just passed away?

 

[slix10]

Need a special by the Pak team.

287 to win.

RRR of 5.74, I think they will make around 220.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Can we have Bangladeshi Openers, opening for us?

Atleast they show some intent.

 

[iafzal]

I actually don't feel like pakistan deserve a win

need what u have been smoking

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Mickey Arthur has just passed away?

He has just resigned.

 

[saadjhussain]

just looks stupid and immature

what looks stupid is if you play defensively and still get bowled out in 20 overs

 

[sali]

OZ were 204 at the end of 43rd overs. Ajmal did well to keep them checked.

Rana and Gul gave 80 runs from last 7 overs. Too many juicy full tosses.


We just can't get all the bowlers to do well in the same game. Two of them always ****...

 

[AZ]

Butt sahab ka balla chal gaya to kuch ho sakta hai, warna I don't think we can win this one

 

[MIG]

Mickey Arthur has just passed away?

He has resigned not died...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

just looks stupid and immature

So 127 all out looks amazing and mature?

 

[insaaniyat]

OK prediction time how much will Pakistan score as many of have written us off to chase this one?

Afzal Bhai, we will win this ODI.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Will Ponting give 100 singles to Pakistan ???

 

[saadjhussain]

pakistan have signed mickey arthur to replace inti

 

[tahaqureshi]

He has resigned not died...

sorry, the tv guy said "gone" so I assumed..

He should have said resigned!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Afzal Bhai, we will win this ODI.

Who are you pinning hopes on ?

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

287 target
200 by kami
86 by butt
no result

Rana bowled well. Don't mix Gul with Rana. Rana has varities and he uses his brain. Gul is like same old same old.

Rana deserved his two wickets, gul was actually lucky to get two in the last over.

 

[iafzal]

So 127 all out looks amazing and mature?

no it just makes us look like that this team is full of safarshies

 

[iafzal]

Afzal Bhai, we will win this ODI.

knew u gonna say that.
I will go on a limb and say I agree with you.
a special inning is needed.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Match the scores with our batsman, who will score how many

85
53
26

[Dr_Bassim]

So we are contemplating if 127 actually looks good or not
Sigh....
I miss the old days

To be a little more fair, PP was taken in the last 5 overs.

But still pretty rubbish stuff.

When 43 used to be a par score?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

done

You do know if they score all these runs, Pakistan will WIN

 

[SulmanPK]

Dont worry guys. We will give them tough time. Its not Sydney, batting 2nd here will be easier.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

When 43 used to be a par score?

When we played to win , unlike now, when we play to make up the numbers

 

[Afridi_Fan]

You do know if they score all these runs, Pakistan will WIN

If one of our openers will score 85, we will win.

But



:akmal

Oh Just forget it

 

[AZ]

You do know if they score all these runs, Pakistan will WIN

and that's a good thing, right?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dont worry guys. We will give them tough time. Its not Sydney, batting 2nd here will be easier.

I can only applaud your enthusiasm

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Dont worry guys. We will give them tough time. Its not Sydney, batting 2nd here will be easier.

Go to cricinfo please sweety, and tell me when was the last time Pakistan chased to win

 

[AZ]

by the way why is Malik not playing today?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

and that's a good thing, right?

The WIN part is where i got confused..
I dont believe they know how to !!!!!

I do think that Butt is the only guy who can make us win and something special from Umar Akmal & Younis khan.

We are trying out Fawad according to rotation policy

Oh, wait. You were serious, right?

really? Moon was dropped? or some injury?

 

[insaaniyat]

Who are you pinning hopes on ?

Allah

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Oh, wait. You were serious, right?

Butt can score a century .. if he pretends he is facing Zaheer and Atul Sharma instead of Bollinger and Harris

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

) ) ) )

Oh, wait. You were serious, right?

i am talking about just this match while chasing 287, we need a good start from salman butt, playing a sheet anchor and score 90 odd runs. I dont think Kamran can do that. Quick fire 35 from kamran will help.

 

[PapaBear]

Yeah, they only need to bat well, run well between wickets and keep their wickets and it is going to be a breeze!!! If they can score 225 in the first 45 overs and score 50 in the last 5 they will be home!! batting is our strong point and we can now show the world what we are made of.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Allah

Thats all good.. i meant among the players.... they have to perform too...
God helps those who help themselves

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt can score a century .. if he pretends he is facing Zaheer and Atul Sharma instead of Bollinger and Harris

And he pretend he is playing in Eden Garden, not Adelaid Oval.

 

[iafzal]

Go Alam.

same rotation policy that YK got slack for?

 

[sali]

Pathetic fielding. Our fielders just can't collect the ball cleanly. I think we had better circle fielding when Shoib was captian. We can't expect to win against Oz with 4 run out and one catch missed. 50% of these singles won't be given by OZ. MoYo, Rana, Gul...fielding in the circle just makes no sense.

We need to match 80 runs in 6 overs like OZ to chase this. Bolwing is not the strongest today. No Peter and MJ.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Yeah, they only need to bat well, run well between wickets and keep their wickets and it is going to be a breeze!!! If they can score 225 in the first 45 overs and score 50 in the last 5 they will be home!! batting is our strong point and we can now show the world what we are made of.

W-T-F are you talking about ) ) )

 

[AZ]

we need an opener to play through, and the rest to bat around him...and if they send YK in at 3 again, I will drive my head through a brick wall...send Afridi in as a wild card

 

[Savak]

I dont have any high expectations, i will just be happy if we make a decent fight of it.

 

[slix10]

Wait what.

When did this happen?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

same rotation policy that YK got slack for?

is an integral part of our team and he is senior.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

same rotation policy that YK got slack for?

To be honest i wanted Younus out first...
I could have bore Malik for a couple of more matches..

 

[insaaniyat]

Thats all good.. i meant among the players.... they have to perform too...
God helps those who help themselves

I know Actually I think our openers will do good. YK will anchor the inning. I am expecting Afridi to hit century

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Idk what it was for, but it surely was a good move
