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

[Chuffed]

lol 1 decision can destroy the whole line up

Well, then the losses are truly deserved.

 

[Imy]

Fawad is Paks greatest alent. no wonder we are so awful

 

[PapaBear]

1) Two decisions
2) Salman butt was the person striking the ball, he was out Yousuf has to
take his job. If Salman was never out, Yoususf would never be out

And YK!

 

[Sheikh]

Big chance for the two youngsters here (especially the perennially shafted Fawad). Plenty of time to play themselves in and make this a contest.

 

[Sledger]

Not a 200th game to remember for Younis.

 

[slix10]

This sort of attitude shows why Pakistan will never be successful. You were 2-0 down in the series and you blame an umpire for one decision!

Wasn't one, was two decisions. Go look at them both

 

[tauseefm]

Those who support YK should stop defending him now, honestly.

Yup well played both of them yaar

 

[tauseefm]

lol 1 decision can destroy the whole line up

Kami wasn't out as well

 

[ZAK]

Well Fawad has got an excellent opportunity here to show the world what he's made of and if he doesnt makes use of it than he will have only himself to blame for it.

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 4/64 | 15 Overs | Need 223 runs to win from 35 overs

Australia | 6/286 | 50 Overs | S March 83, M Clarke 80, M Hussey 49 | R Naved 2/57, U Gul 2/80, S Ajmal 1/41

Australia won the toss and elected to bat first

 

[tahaqureshi]

1) Two decisions
2) Salman butt was the person striking the ball, he was out Yousuf has to
take his job. If Salman was never out, Yoususf would never be out

yeah but in all honesty..a team shouldn't be treading the surface so delicately that one bad decision makes you lose an entire series.

granted butt was playing good..but there is a reason you put in 6-7 specialist batsmen in your squad..if one or two don't fire (due to form or umpire faults watever)...your others must

out of the 4 wickets that just fell.. 3 were the fault of our own batsmen.

and honestly, you can't blame yousuf and yk's wickets on asoka.. as bad a decision as it was

nobody asked yousuf to freak out and chop it on to his stumps and nobody asked younis to hold his bat out like a freaking loser

 

[sali]

How can our senior most players make these basic msitakes? One forgets to get his bat out of the way and the other one keeps playing fine late cuts on bouncy tracks to hit stumps..

We might as well play Imran Farhat and Lateef and let the young guys get experience

 

[Imy]

can Pak make 150 forget 200

 

[ZAK]

single to Akmal

 

[Sledger]

Bring on Hauritz Punter!

 

[Hail-Akram]

Now that winner is almost clear - what do you think about margin of victory? My money is on a margin of 100+

 

[Chuffed]

Wasn't one, was two decisions. Go look at them both

The first one wasn't! It could have gone either way, so why even consider that? It just shows that you are like the management and good in making excuses. Born losers.......

 

[salman24]

Now time for Umar and fawad to prove that they can fill in inzimam and yousufs shoes in the future

 

[UP]

Younis dismisal was very awful to watch.

Our players invent new ways to get out.

 

[ZAK]

2 more to Umar

people who make excuses for themselves never succeed in life

single to Umar

 

[OZGOD]

Let me ask you one thing.
Have Australia got one WRONG decision this series?
Pak have 2-3 per game.
Australia have 1-2 per tour.
**** YOU ASSCHOKA

We've had our share. It's just that none have had a major impact on any game. Also the review system prevented a lot of the shockers from significantly influencing any of the matches.

 

[insaaniyat]

Yup well played both of them yaar

sorry yaar I forgot Moyo, agreed

 

[Bilsher007]

What the hell is wrong with asoka ? is he pressurised in pleasing australians on AUSTRALIA DAY ??? Butt was settling in fine and could have played a big innings today. 2 pathetic decisions.. why no review system for one dayers ? this is now a LITMUS TEST for YOUNIS and YOUSUF, if they fail to score big and win match then this is the last one day series they should play ever... clocking is ticking

 

[tauseefm]

I am sick to my stomach right now. When is this team gona learn to play? I mean why don't they go down fighting issed:

 

[Sledger]

Fawad can't put pressure on his partner, needs to rotate strike.

 

[cricfan967]

We messed up the first two games, admitted.
Asschoke-A messed up on not only ONE but TWO decisions.
Kamran never got a chance to get going, Butt was looking like
a century maker but they both were giving out.
When there are only 7 batsmen in a team, 2 dismissals are alot.
And also to remind you, Yousuf got out in pressure to smack the ball.
That was Butt's job but since he was OUT he couldn't do it anymore.
2 wickets led to 3 wickets.

In other news: India just gave up the fastest Bangladeshi Test 100 for the second match in a row.

 

[rhussain33]

Okay strap up for a matchwinning 200 partnership from these young guns. Even if they dont win they gonna put up a fight and play out 50 overs

 

[NorthStar]

These two need to do a Hammand Azam special here, keep running the singles and put away the bad balls ...

Pakistan | 4/67 | 16 Overs | Need 220 runs to win from 34 overs | S Butt 34, Y Khan 12, M Yousuf 11 | C Mckay 2/7, R Harris 1/16, S Watson 1/25

True. End of day you just have to get on with it. Umpiring decisions are outside any batsman's control. Just gotta deal with it on the field and try not to let it affect the batting of those to come.

 

[Sledger]

Poeple really need to stop crying about the umpiring, get over it.

 

[SulmanPK]

Speechless. Ask them to stop playing, Under19 ka morale bhi na down ho jaye inki wajah say.

 

[cricfan967]

True. End of day you just have to get on with it. Umpiring decisions are outside any batsman's control. Just gotta deal with it on the field and try not to let it affect the batting of those to come.

I bet you wouldn't say that if it was Shane Watson who gets out on 34 off 39 looking in great knick.

 

[insaaniyat]

I am sick to my stomach right now. When is this team gona learn to play? I mean why don't they go down fighting issed:

they are going down) Fighing you cannot expect from this team, when before even playing an ODI they say we can't beat them

 

[sa_09]

Khabi hard luck khabi bad luck this always the case with Pakistan

I was expecting this, one or two wickets fell and the pressure is on, and our team is the undisputed champion for failing under pressure. hahahaha

I agree, what were YOYO doing? Tell you what if Australia can pull up from these kind of situations, why can't we?

 

[OZGOD]

I bet you wouldn't say that if it was Shane Watson who gets out on 34 off 39 looking in great knick.

You clearly don't know me too well mate. I have never whinged about an umpiring call ever when it's been my team been wronged. I'll call it out if it's a poor decision, and this one was a shocker, but it's not the first shocker that Ashocka's given and it won't be the last that any umpire will give. Not to say that it's wrong to have a rant, but it's not my go personally. Can't pick the umpires or control what they're going to do.

Umar almost chopped on.

[Dr_Bassim]

The only conclusion i come to from all this is...

1. Ashoka sucks
2. Our fans seriously think that Butt was gonna help us chase 287
3. That we always try to blame our ineptitude and out of depth batsmen, and find excuses.

Pakistan team is brilliant.. It wasnt just our day, or Umpires conspired, or the Hawk eye is conspiring. We are on a constant downward spiral. If you want to know, just see the shots by Yousaf and Younus. Its no use saying they are under pressure. They should be able to handle the pressure. Thats why they are playing international cricket. Clearly our team sucks. And anyone who thought we would win because of Butt playing a match winning innings to chase a target is blind!!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

We messed up the first two games, admitted.
Asschoke-A messed up on not only ONE but TWO decisions.
Kamran never got a chance to get going, Butt was looking like

That was Butt's job but since he was OUT he couldn't do it anymore.
2 wickets led to 3 wickets.
issed: issed: issed: issed: issed:

calm down for a second and think about this

kamran's wicket was in no way a shocker, i know you would like to believe it and i would too..but it was the kind of delivery which if the umpire gave it either way you would say fair call..it was border line..but it wasn't missing by a mile or anything so no point crying over that

and no yousuf had NO pressure on him to do anything..he was on 11 off 6 just before he got out..and that shot he got out too was not a pressure shot, it was his own inability to improve a shot he has got out to many many times..that was definitely not a pressure shot

pressure shots are almost always skied up

and the hallmark of a good team is that when they lose two wickets quickly..the in coming batsmen should be looking to 'consolidate'..we weren't even out of the bowling powerplay so who makes you think we were under pressure? yk and yousuf had to simply accumulate thats it!

didn't you see the aussies lose 2 wickets in quick sucession, but did clarke freak out? no...that is the hallmark of a good batsman

a crap batsman is like younis who leaves the bat out and guides it to one of the best keepers in the world (he is, accept it or not)

so please dude stop getting emotional and accept that we suck and that to blame asoka for this series or even this game is a very loserish attitude

 

[insaaniyat]

yes it was an iffy decision, if there was a review system it would have been turned down if umpire had not given it.

kami looked out. or as you say decision on the field would have stood and that means out

 

[iZeeshan]

Well this negativity isn't going to take us anywhere.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan set for another thumping defeat. Atleast we are consistent!

1) Asschoke-A sucks.
2) Butt was in GREAT knick on 39 off 34
3) I agree but not entirely agree as 2 wrong decisions lead to added pressure which leads to more wickets.

 

[Zaad]

i personally think there is still hope,
this might turn out to be a thriller, if fawad & akmal make about 120 + partnership & then afridi can handle the rest of the inning with rana in the bank as well
nothing is immpossible.

F--K You Asschoka this is straight from my dreams!!!

The same sh** is gonna happen again. We are gonna knock around Hauritz for a few boundaries, but he will get our batsmen out, and we will end up looking as fools.

Even if we had review... Kamran would have been out.
Onfield decision would have stayed
Think coolly for a minute
Only Butt was a shocker

F--K You Asschoka this is straight from my dreams!!!

salam you are back Welcome

[Raz]

This game is starting to slip away, we need to keep that required rate under 7 an over.

3-4 runs an over isn't good enough at the moment. Need to show more urgency these two.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

By the time Afridi comes required run rate will be 20 per over

 

[kkmix]

its not over till afridi is there

but one of our best batsman is missing, mohammad aamer.

 

[tauseefm]

Learn from the field setting Yousuf

No need to, only 2 more ODI left. i would like moyo and yk to sit outside and let afridi run the show rest of the series with khalid, fawad and malik( i hate to say it )
