Fawad needs to try going over mid wicket region

[Radiance Of Australis]

LOL ahahha and Rao for opener... but he has to be hit on the head every time he comes to bat cuz that seems like working in waking him up.

) )

 

[d0gers]

and once again we fail to bat out 50 overs.

 

[insaaniyat]

Thank you Omar, Fawad and Malik. Not a bad score

 

[On_the_up]

australia should canter it

 

[Hail-Akram]

The only ODI in this series when Pakistan came close to bat entire 50 overs...

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

oh shoot..my cricinfo is slow today...=[

 

[afridi_captain]

Well no Amir i don't think its a defendable total. It'll be very interesting to watch how Mr Afridi captains the side. If you take to the Aussies this total can be defended but the odds are against us.

 

[ZAK]

Alam has two scores of 63 in odi's now

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Pakistan crossed 200 which seemed nowhere possible at one time.

Muaah to on_the_up

 

[saamry]

I am impressed with Alam. The guy should be premenant fixture in Pak team.

 

[PapaBear]

australia should canter it

in 30 overs

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

oh shoot..my cricinfo is slow today...=[

there is something wrong with crapinfo today i think...mine is slow too

 

[Shezada]

now it all depends on how afridi captains the field

 

[Uncle Sam]

Fawad Alam played the best innings ... better than Umer Akmal .... I am glad we played Alam today .... he is a MUST part of this team and 100% surely the best prospect for future captain .. good intelligent and ALERT brain and a fast learner !!!!

 

[iafzal]

Well played Umar and Fawad.

Sarfraz has been poor with the bat. Cannot even get into double figures

 

[Shezada]

how long till pak bowl?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

213 to win .... thats the best Pakistan have got ???

Australia to win comfortably
Sadly i have to be realistic in this. NO pressure at all.

 

[insaaniyat]

Pakistan crossed 200 which seemed nowhere possible at one time.

Muaah to on_the_up

agreed, only if our captain was sensible we could have crossed 250

 

[iafzal]

when score was 83 for 4 with Alam and Umar batting I told me friend we may cross 200 if these two could put a fight and I am glad these guys came through. Was looking we fold around 150 but they have showed the fight. Sadly it may not be enough

 

[saamry]

Fawad seem to have mental toughness and fight that i no one seem to have in Pak team.
I hope they handle him properly.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

agreed, only if our captain was sensible we could have crossed 250

You said the cursed words...
Now watch a million Pakistanis defend him

 

[insaaniyat]

213 to win .... thats the best Pakistan have got ???

Australia to win comfortably
Sadly i have to be realistic in this. NO pressure at all.

Salam Doctor Saheb. when you think of 17/3, it is not bad. Will we win? I doubt it, But I know we will fight then till the end

 

[iafzal]

agreed, only if our captain was sensible we could have crossed 250

Afridi scored meaningles 20s and 40s in the other ODIs here a fast 30-40 would have really helped us get around a fighting 250. poor stuff from Afridi. I hope he makes it up in the bowling.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

On_The_Up - Is there any chance for Pakistan to go up today?

 

[Cover Drive]

Alright guys I am not out to sleep

ALLAH Hafiz

Cheers!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

agreed, only if our captain was sensible we could have crossed 250

Yaar i wish afridi had made even 20-30 runs, the score defo would have been 250!

But insaaniyat we have a chance if we get lucky run outs here and there. Luck has to favor us if we have to win.

 

[PapaBear]

I am impressed with Alam. The guy should be premenant fixture in Pak team.

The question is why this guy has been cooling his heels on the benches for 2 months? This is the guy who scored 165 on his debut in Tests and has an healthy average of 40 in ODIs.

abye yaar mut jao, bowling tu dekh lo, last time on aussie soil..phir after 4 years baad milaygi dekhne ko

Wicket is breaking up, has variable bounce it is not going to be easy, but they will make it look easy unless Pakistan comes up with something spectacular.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Salam Doctor Saheb. when you think of 17/3, it is not bad. Will we win? I doubt it, But I know we will fight then till the end

Wasalam, u know this reminds me of a story. Its too long to tell it, but the moral of the story was, if you have failed to defend ( compete at the start) , then dont expect to attack and win at the end. I dont know, what fight you are expecting but commentators are just humoring us.
This score is way below par.

 

[insaaniyat]

agreed, with bit of good fielding(luck), may be we can

 

[iafzal]

The question is why this guy has been cooling his heels on the benches for 2 months? This is the guy who scored 165 on his debut in Tests and has an healthy average of 40 in ODIs.

Because he is a not senior yet. In 5 years when he will be a senior we can expect him to play more regularly

 

[amar1212]

well, remember the champions trophy match..we scored around 200 and almost beat them..maybe same thing happens today.(but this time we dont lose on purpose??)

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Luck has nothing to do with the game.
Man makes his own luck.
If we are to win , all of the bowlers have to bowl the spell of their lives.
Sadly i dont see that happening.
Not without a regular 5th bowler. NO Ajmal, Shoaib Malik cant be counted upon to leak less than 4 an over.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Dr Bassim - Do your glasses see a run out in the makings?

 

[iafzal]

First 10 over will be crucial. If we can get couple of wkts then we have a chance. The next chance will be in the middle over when Afridi comes in. We have to take wkts to keep pressure otherwise the game is over around the 40th over.

 

[MIG]

Ok Guys - pls continue collective wailing and sadness in the Pak Innings thread.

Thanks
