Australia v Zimbabwe | T20 WC | Group A | Capetown | [12/9/09]

[Sean]

Run out chance there. But Roy makes it. Lucky....

 

[Sean]

Now a run out chance against Hussey.... HE GONE!!!!! Australia in massive trouble!!!!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

wow...Hussey...not doing too well

 

[PlanetPakistan]

is that out?

 

[Sheikh]

Hussey gone now!

Zimbabwe on top?

 

[Sean]

This thread would have been a lot more fun to read if this was Pakistan playing

Dude, they just played. They can't play 24/7

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Yes sir...Hussey is gone

 

[faisalm]

I had Gilchrist and Ponting in my fantasy team, hopefully Bracken can do the business with the ball.

 

[12thMan]

Hussey runout
Aus 48-4 after 9.2

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Australian coaches life is on the line....oh my

 

[Islamabadi]

Hussey run out..Aussies in trouble

 

[sohaib17]

Zim have some chance here

 

[faisalm]

Things looking bad for Australia especially with the tail today, a lot riding on Hodge.

 

[tmac4real]

hussey is gone. I'm surprised they took Hodge/Haddin instead of clarke watson.

Watson usually got them quick runs he was often the orchestrator of a 38 for 24 performanc in ODI's, and Clarke well is just an excellent batsman

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Brad Stodge comes in to bat...He is one of the best domestic 20/20 players in ENG

 

[Sheikh]

51-4 after 10.

Who would have thought it?

They are both injured i think.

i just looked up his record. Very nice, as actually might have a chnce here.

 

[12thMan]

The big guy Hodge is in. need 2-3 good overs from him to restore order.
Aus 51-4 after 10

 

[Sean]

Great shot by Symonds gown the ground for 6?

He advanced, and flat batted that down the ground.

 

[tmac4real]

man aussie players are amazing, even a guy like hodge has an average of 40 in ODI's at a strike rate of 92, WHAT THE HECK.

also averaging 58 in tests, this is ridiculos...they train their playres so well b4 they make the national team it's amazing.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Great shot from Symo...

 

[Amir]

I am starting to like this TWenty20...it gives teh minnows a chance to win!

 

[iafzal]

Symond may be the last hope for Aus to get to 130-140 range

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Andrew Symonds...What a pull shot that was!

 

[Hash]

so all the wrist slitters when we played Scotland.......understand now?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

so all the wrist slitters when we played Scotland.......understand now?

Hey be honest man...weren't you getting slightly nervous too?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Taibu to bowl

 

[PlanetPakistan]

wow...he looks like a terrible bowler!

 

[tmac4real]

Hey be honest man...weren't you getting slightly nervous too?

i had confidence in afridi. He's the most clutch player in the team currently.

 

[Hash]

Hey be honest man...weren't you getting slightly nervous too?

I was a little bit during the first 3 or 4 overs. But once we got through that initial 15-20 mins, there was only ever going to be one winner.

120 would have been enough for us to win this game.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

i had confidence in afridi. He's the most clutch player in the team currently.

T man you weren't even watching the game!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Huge 6 from Hodge

 

[tmac4real]

T man you weren't even watching the game!

I was following the game...you sh ould show a little more faith into a player like afridi who has come thru in the cluch time and time again

 

[sohaib17]

symonds goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

stumped

 

[Oxy]

so all the wrist slitters when we played Scotland.......understand now?

Classic 'slitter' comment today was 'Drop Butt - bring back Farhat because he is suited to 20-20' ) ) )

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Is symo gone??i think he is

 

[tmac4real]

symonds goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

stumped

the one guy that could have helped them. Now Lee needs to sick around and let hodge work.

 

[Sheikh]

Big wicket there. Can they restict them to less than 150?

 

[12thMan]

Symonds stumped
Aus 86-5

 

[Oxy]

Trust me to load my fantasy team with all the Aussies that have flopped!!!

And I accidently selected J Anderson as my captain - and it will cost me 4 transfers to change!!!

I hate fantasy leagues.....

 

[tmac4real]

Big wicket there. Can they restict them to less than 150?

it's looking like it'll be comfortably under 150, u nless we witness a Hodge blitz, or better yet Lee blitz.

 

[Amir]

I wish Glenn McGrath was playing just so I can see his player profile where he goes "My name is Glenn McGrath and may favourite shot is when the ball can atleast touch my bat!"

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Classic 'slitter' comment today was 'Drop Butt - bring back Farhat because he is suited to 20-20' ) ) )

well that person was spot on

 

[Oxy]

YOu cant hear the player profiles on Geo - they just inanely discuss nothing by talking over it.

So what were the Pak players saying?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Trust me to load my fantasy team with all the Aussies that have flopped!!!

And I accidently selected J Anderson as my captain - and it will cost me 4 transfers to change!!!

I hate fantasy leagues.....

You were doing quite well after day 1

 

[Oxy]

well that person was spot on

Was it you???

 

[Sheikh]

it's looking like it'll be comfortably under 150, u nless we witness a Hodge blitz, or better yet Lee blitz.

Exactly! Blitzes aside, it should be less than 150!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Was it you???

...no! I missed the first 4 overs

 

[sohaib17]

Afrdid said


"MY NAME IS SHAHID AFRIDI AND MY FAVOURITE SHOT IS ANYWHERE FOR SIX" With a chicky smile

 

[tmac4real]

Exactly! Blitzes aside, it should be less than 150!

Yeha they need to go atleast 12 an over from h ere on out to hit 150. the way things are going I doubt that happens. I think they reach 125-130 max.

 

[Rob H]

Haddin gone now pulling Utseya to long on.

 

[sohaib17]

GONE


BRAD HADDIN GONE
103-6 from 16.4 overs

 

[Sheikh]

Another one down!

This is amazing!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

101/5 after 16 overs

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Another one leaves...this time it's Haddin

 

[tmac4real]

101/5 after 16 overs

it's 6 down.

I think Lee will be able to do better than Haddin. I see him getting some quick runs.

 

[12thMan]

Haddin out
Aus 103-6 after 16.2 overs
Lee with favorite shot six over midwicket

 

[tmac4real]

Lee will MOM with Aus winning.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

30+runs and 3fer for lee

 

[tmac4real]

Brett Lee now. "My favourite shot - six over midwicket!" he announces. That was prerecorded, though; it would be odd if he was calling that out on his way to the crease.

Cricinfo guys are so stupid sometimes lol

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Lee will MOM with Aus winning.

that will be great for my fantasy side..

 

[tmac4real]

that will be great for my fantasy side..

not for mine, I couldn't afford lee. My bowling is quite pathetic, and it doesnt help that 3/5 of my batsman failede.

 

[Rob H]

Lee smashes a 6 after the 4 straight down the ground.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Taibu getting away with some rubbish bowling

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Taibu getting away with some rubbish bowling

not any more

 

[Rob H]

bowled him off stump. Brent bowls Brett Lee with a great yorker

Australia 119/7

 

[tmac4real]

like I calledit, Lee will do well. and he's gone. Anyways match is ending in 2 overs, his quick rns helpe.d

 

[12thMan]

13 runs off the over
Aus 119-6 after 18 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies have more than enough runs aleady to win this game.. zimbo wont get close to 100 runs when they come to bat!

 

[RumiNYC]

which fantasy you guys play for ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Taibu shud stick to keeping his gloves on and not bowling lol

 

[MIB]

i think zim can...

 

[Plasma]

I think Zim can do the impossible tonight!!

 

[Rob H]

Hodge hammers it through extra cover for 4

 

[tmac4real]

hmm perfect timing, aus innings end and I have to go to class.

 

[12thMan]

Why didn't they just go for the run. with 3 balls left it didn't matter who got out and probably could have even made the run
Aus 136-8 after 19.3

 

[Rob H]

138/9 off 20 overs. Great catch to get Bracken last ball.

 

[tmac4real]

respectable total.

 

[Sheikh]

Could just take a Taibu special to get Zimbabwe close. He recently hit a hundred against South Africa so he is in form.
