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

[Bhaijaan]

The streak is over !

 

[tahaqureshi]

I just hope our batting holds up!

 

[talha3]

Razzaq you beauty! These days his line and length is Mcgrath-esque

 

[Seen Sheen]

Afridi you youngster beauty. What an inspired change of bowling.

Gotta say was a horrendous stroke from Clarke. He saw ball keeping low on first delivery but still attempted the horizontal bat shot. Shocking stuff. But who cares. is the man!

 

[adnan yasin]

Razzak.... took a wicket .. wow

Clarke was playing him across from the first ball

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Anyone going to question the captaincy as yet. Please raise your hands.

Hussey is still there..


Pakistan still need to chase the target

So it is to say anything

 

[qaiser]

Anyone going to question the captaincy as yet. Please raise your hands.

not for the next 30 seconds

then they will all be back from their hibernation

 

[mooz]

I was just about to type,

1) Well done Razzaq for not appealing of the run-out, he didn't claim he got a hand to the ball( 1 many aussies would have appealed I am sure)
2) Clarke has sure played a super-ugly innings today

 

[akamaka]

im still jumping up and down, razzaq bowled, clarke.

 

[talha3]

The streak is over !

You haven't seen out batting yet

 

[yadunoe]

loose shot by clarke

 

[jattafridi]

need hussey wicket

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And now there is a slip even for

 

[iafzal]

On this pitch YK, Misbah and Asad will be an asset.
Ball is staying low and not coming on to the bat, requires application and those 3 seems to be suited.
Akmal brothers and Razzlers will be bonus

Anyone going to question the captaincy as yet. Please raise your hands.

Captaincy has been generally good. I wouldn't have still played Rehman and wouldn't have opened with him.

But hey it's been great so far

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lol at aussies. )


And they were saying that this group is boring.

Sour grapes from Punter who hasn't been able to score 100 runs in 6 games

 

[tahaqureshi]

Another one almost gone!

Rehman has also redeemed himself today.

 

[kaalakawaa]

bring Gul right now!

 

[Free Hit]

Aussies not being tested but thrashed haha

 

[Afridi_Fan]

136/5 in 35.

 

[Sledger]

Great bowling by Razzaq. 136/5.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ball keeping low did the trick there, Miky asked for it though, did the same on first ball. Should have learnt from it and not played it that way.

Difference between a Clarke and a :Sachin there

 

[Dragon]

Pakistan is playing really smart cricket today. Great job by the captain afridi and the boys of course.

 

[Sledger]

Yes, bring on Gul please.

 

[adnan yasin]

it will be a sigh of relief ... seeing hussey going back to pavillion

 

[ZenBowman]

Chalo Pakistani bhais, smash these Australians today, unke moo se khushi cheen de!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Johnson can bat too...


Don't tell it's a bowling pitch

 

[Afridi_Fan]

goodness Gracious. Look at those dives.

 

[Bhaijaan]

You're set to play England in QF now !!!

 

[akamaka]

:kami always smiling.

 

[Sledger]

Pakistanis fielding has been better but they're yet to master diving technique. Everyone dives over the cricket ball.

 

[Free Hit]

aussie reeling

 

[jattafridi]

no need to relax still they can score 270+

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ the sideways replay of the stumps. Shows Razzaq's lightning pace.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Single taken

 

[Inzy's Aloo]

You're set to play England in QF now !!!

Who will Pak play if they lose

 

[akamaka]

misbah diving over the ball for the 50th time.

 

[mooz]

The streak is over !

There are 3 big BUTS though

A) Hussey
B) Power-play overs
C) Our batting

I think the streak is in pretty good shape right now

 

[Sherazkhalid]

game is not over until it is over. How many times have Aus won from us after being in such a bad position.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Kamran akmal : easy easy

 

[Afridi_Fan]

140/5 in 36.

 

[ScotRaz]

Wasim just hit the nail on the head "Looks like Pakistan are enoying their fielding". when did nyou ever think you would hear thet!

 

[tahaqureshi]

What fielding!

 

[Dragon]

misbah being the pakistani superman

 

[Sledger]

140/5. Bit of flight from Rehman finally.

[Khan88]

You're set to play England in QF now !!!

If we win today and India wins, we play WI.

 

[ZenBowman]

You're set to play England in QF now !!!

No, not quite. If Pakistan tops the group, they will face either England or the West Indies (depending on whether India wins tomorrow).

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Extra bounce for
