Australia vs Pakistan | Group B | Colombo | 19/03/11 | Australia Innings

[Sledger]

Prof. Hafeez to continue.

 

[talha3]

Yep, their all containers

) good one

 

[grunge]

the problem with Wahab is that i feel he's trying to bowl that inswinger that he naturally doesnt have..even if u want to develop that delivery,this isnt the time to experiment with such a thing..he needs to angle it across like he does and concentrate on his line..

his wrist right now is dropping all over the placeh

 

[Bullet Drive]

cOME ON HAFEEZ

 

[mastermind_quad]

dot dot

 

[TigerJat]

hafeez to continue,

he's been good and under utilized I think.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 dots,

 

[Munna]

is it my tv .. or is the volume of commentators actually lower than the crowd's sound? :S

 

[Bullet Drive]

3 dots

 

[SOSami]

Wahab does leak runs but he is in there as a pure wicket taker. If he picks up a couple, even after conceding runs he will fulfil his role.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Don't know if hafeez can take any wicket

 

[goldleaf]

Why do you lot call him professor hafeez?

I've always called him hafeeza paalvan

 

[adnan yasin]

Wahab is trying to bowl inswingers .. which he is not good at.. he just try to bowl his natural line

when you are not good in bowling inswingers you eventually land the ball on the pads and short as well


look like some what 270 on the cards

 

[Bullet Drive]

4 dot ball.

 

[mastermind_quad]

4 dot in a row

 

[tallashk]

we need a bowler like amir in our team and junaid is similar to him. he bowls wicket to wicket and has got good potential. we should have tried him.. 20 in 2 overs is just awful.

 

[Sledger]

Good drift from Hafeez!

 

[akamaka]

is it my tv .. or is the volume of commentators actually lower than the crowd's sound? :S

yea same, i think crowd is reallly loud.

 

[tauseefm]

Just wondering what is going to be razzaq's role in this match?

 

[Bullet Drive]

5 dot balls.

 

[talha3]

good over.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

71/1 in 17.

 

[mastermind_quad]

single to end the over

 

[james_bond]

Needs a wicket otherwise they will score 300

 

[taxzu]

For the QF. Pakistan should play with 4 specialist bowler and 7 batsman. If they are going to loose than they should loose by playing fighting and attacking cricket not playing defensive. They should realise that by taking wickets they can stop the run flow. And if top 7 batsman havent performed than dont expect miracle from razzaq.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Well Ball....well ball....

 

[amjad_ali]

perfect line from hafeez

 

[qamar84]

another crap comes in.. hafeez

only a single in the overs

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

hadin works it for 1 one

 

[GabKhan]

If Wahab continues to bowl like this, will we see Shoaib in the next match?

Really need a breakthrough right now.,

I really hope so. Only hope Pak has is using Shoaib and Gul. Wahab is not going to win us anything right now. That is the truth.

But I fear Waqar has too much anger and hatred for Shoaib. Remember Waqar feels Wasim and SHoaib sidelined him for years. THis is revenge. Payback.

 

[TigerJat]

hafeez bowling a tight line

 

[ScotRaz]

Anyone else think Waqar and management are more than happy with 4th place?

 

[Batman]

Australia | 1/71 | 17 Overs

[Sledger]

Dropped I think.

 

[kaalakawaa]

drop?

 

[Free Hit]

:drop

 

[Free Hit]

afridi needs a wicket

 

[Sledger]

In fact, not really a chance, went straight down.

 

[cricfan4ever]

When ever a player is out of form, When he plays against Pak,he comes into form?why is it like that?

because we allow for the batsmen to settle down by spreading the field which puts the batsmen at ease...

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Pakistan team is cursed to have Kamran akmal as a keeper

 

[Free Hit]

afridi has great record against aussies

 

[SOSami]

Afridi's bowling is a joy to watch.

 

[Sledger]

Need a wicket. Can't contain here.

 

[Munna]

if he keeps cutting .... he'll fail soon inshallah against our spearhead

 

[tahaqureshi]

Afridi is genius!

 

[Free Hit]

waleed that wasnt a chance

 

[qamar84]

:drop

no keeper in the world can take that catch

 

[Afridi_Fan]

73/1 in 18.

 

[mastermind_quad]

73/1 after 18

 

[Sledger]

73/1.

 

[talha3]

much better bowling after the powerplay

 

[Free Hit]

you cant cut afridi

 

[GabKhan]

Worst Pakistani cricket team in the last 3 decades?

 

[yadunoe]

inshallah this containment will pay off later with wickets

 

[pak4life]

considering waqar was an attacking player I cant understand the defensive bowling line up lets not turn into a new zealand and india bowling unit. ajmal and shoaib definate for quarters

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Australia 73/1 (17.6 ov)

Pakistan

Australia won the toss and elected to bat

 

[Free Hit]

73/1 after 18

 

[tahaqureshi]

Need a wicket. Can't contain here.

I feel the Aussies are purposely playing slow as opposed to us containing. Once they try to score quicker, the wickets will come.

 

[mastermind_quad]

slog sweep ..tough chance

 

[Munna]

cricinfo headline:Haddin and Ponting set foundation

 

[Free Hit]

Dropped catch.

 

[azcali78]

K Akmal got the "Yoself" now as well

 

[mastermind_quad]

pitch is not looking easy ...Aussies don't have good spinners

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Misbah.....Dropped it?

 

[TigerJat]

[Afridi_Fan]
