[Munna]

12 runs given from that over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

on.

 

[akamaka]

Professor into the attack.

 

[Vegitto1]

Wahab is crap, I pity those who think that this parchi is the future.

 

[mastermind_quad]

single to start with

 

[Sledger]

Bangladesh all out for 78 LOL.

 

[TigerJat]

need to change wahab from that end now, he is not in control.

Maybe even use Abdul Razzaq

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Missed out there Punter.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Australia on Top at the moment........

 

[iZeeshan]

Disappointing from Wahab. I exxpected much better from him.

 

[sa88]

Wahab is bowling like a donkey with tourettes on crack...

Japan has more control over the nuclear plant than he does over his line.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Do I hear Azan??

 

[Sanchez]

Pakistan getting Punter back into form

 

[qaiser]

hafeez bowling legside as well

 

[Munna]

colombo mein asar ki azaan ka waqt hua jata hai :ekdin

 

[Looney]

i miss

 

[mastermind_quad]

check his last few innings in a world cup against you 2003 uff

that was 8 years ago...haha..... r u still in 2003 mode ...

 

[TigerJat]

ponting beaten

 

[duostyle]

Come on Prof, knock'em Aussies son

 

[irfan]

who the hell are the wicket taking bowlers, apart from Gul in this team?

 

[ads101]

Disappointing from Wahab. I exxpected much better from him.

He's rusty. He hasn't been given a stretch of games.

If we wanted to go with 2 bowlers, it was probably better to go with Akhtar and Gul really.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

guys settle down... wahab is not rubbish for God sake... not going for him at the moment!!

 

[Indiafan]

trust me, he doesnt really need to be in form to bat against india

Apart from a couple of matches, he has been our bunny for long.

 

[Munna]

better over from hafeez!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Hafeez bowling well....

 

[grunge]

The pitch isnt a belter...we need more wickets

 

[yadunoe]

hafeez generating some spin

 

[iZeeshan]

Wahab has the talent but needs a lot of work. His release and wrist position is very patchy and just doesn't seem right at times.

 

[ads101]

Good over by Hafeez.

 

[TigerJat]

goood over, 3 off it, will wahab continue?

 

[GabKhan]

Why have people expected better from Wahab.

Hes never been that good. He peformed in tests against NZ, a little. But anyone watching him bowl can see he is nothing special. Useable, yes. But replacing a motivated Shoaib with him???

Waqar should be ashamed, he rather get revenge against Shoaib than help Pakistan have a good team.

 

[Munna]

guys settle down... wahab is not rubbish for God sake... not going for him at the moment!!

the moment has gotten tooo long im afraid!

 

[mastermind_quad]

spin from both end

 

[Sledger]

who the hell are the wicket taking bowlers, apart from Gul in this team?

Afridi and Gul, that is it.

Rest are containers.

 

[Britstani]

Afridi 'We will try something new' = we will leave out 2 world class bowlers (Shoaib + Ajmal) and play 2 not so special bowlers (Wahab + Rehman)

Sorry guys the team spirit doesnt look good, poor planning from mr coach and captain. Pakistan certainly like doing things the complete opposite to top teams.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Akhtar for Wahab next game.

 

[ads101]

Afridi and Gul, that is it.

Rest are containers.

Riaz isn't a container at all. He takes wickets.

 

[Munna]

afridi is thinking quick today ..making quick changes... jaag raha hai

 

[mastermind_quad]

loud appeal

 

[TigerJat]

Afridi to continue, we need to get AR's 3 overs in quicklly before fthe batsmen settle in, and it is difficult to stop the runs

 

[Sledger]

Can't give that out.

 

[Sledger]

Riaz isn't a container at all. He takes wickets.

Yes, but he's not in great form.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

That was near

 

[oracleg]

These fields are far too defensive, easy singles on offer. Ponting struggles against spin ffs

 

[tallashk]

look shoaib had a fight wid akmal on droping catches.. so he is out.. this team is a selfish team and this forum is full of hypo crates ..who were just praising these guys a day before and now on performance they are uttering out wotevr they can.. i told u u can't win with losers .. get a balanced team in this is not a balanced team. now you dont have a pacer left ..now look at your your all rounders like hafeez (crap)

 

[cricfan4ever]

wickets win you matches not containment...the moment Afridi realizes this, is when we'll be at our devastating best

 

[Afridi_Fan]

70/1 in 16.

 

[mastermind_quad]

70/1 after 16

 

[Sledger]

Drinks.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Drinks

 

[yadunoe]

common boys get a wicket

 

[pakistan_pride1]

Gatorade

 

[iZeeshan]

70-1 at drinks.

 

[Sledger]

Australia have now moved into the driver's seat. 9 wickets in hand, Pakistan strikes not coming often enough, in fact there have hardly been many chances created.

 

[KSaeed]

After drinks we really need to take a wicket or this partnership is gonna rocket

 

[ads101]

I don't like playing with 2 specialist spinners in our team. That means 3 spinners in the team. Far too defensive. 3 fast bowlers are almost always going to strike in terms of wickets more often than using an extra spinner and 2 fast bowlers. The more spinners you play, the more you'll just contain.

 

[goldleaf]

Why isn't freedi bowling his quicker ball?

Why? Why? Why?

 

[TigerJat]

good over from the captain, but we need wickets.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Rr 4.38

 

[Batman]

Australia | 1/70 | 16 Overs

3 off the over!

 

[Sledger]

wickets win you matches not containment...the moment Afridi realizes this, is when we'll be at our devastating best

This needs to be framed and hung up in the team dressing room (minus the facepalm).

 

[KSaeed]

If things continue as they are, we need to swap Wahab for Akhtar and Rehman for Ajmal.

 

[SAPakFan]

SA won 206.Bangl all out in 28 overs. MOM Tsotsobe for his 3 wkts.

 

[Munna]

afridi is bowling without much pace .. which is a smart move according to ian chappel today on this pitch .. shud throw in one or 2 quick ones to deceive them :d

 

[oracleg]

Don't like the way this match is going. Far too defensive, we're playing Ponting into form. Need to take wickets, need to restrict them to below 220. No way we're chasing anything above that.

 

[GabKhan]

Afridi 'We will try something new' = we will leave out 2 world class bowlers (Shoaib + Ajmal) and play 2 not so special bowlers (Wahab + Rehman)

Sorry guys the team spirit doesnt look good, poor planning from mr coach and captain. Pakistan certainly like doing things the complete opposite to top teams.

Its unbelievable. Shoaib has looked so dangerous with the new ball. And they replace him with Wahab?

Wahab is decent. I don't think he is going to get much better, but even if he does that does not matter. Because RIGHT NOW, he is not that good. And RIGHT NOW is when we need a good bowler.

The disgraceful part is, they actually dropped SHoaib for the NZ performance when everyone knows it was Kamrans fault.

This team is doing EVERY SINGLE thing wrong. They are destined to fail.

 

[Obeid]

Ohoo...Afridi naraaz hai...was yelling at Rehman during drinks break.

 

[ddss]

kiss ko dant pari

 

[jattafridi]

if Pakistan dont get wicket now 290+ easily possible

 

[hamzie]

rehman hasnt done bad so far... will really see his skills later in the innings

 

[ScotRaz]

Afridi and Gul, that is it.

Rest are containers.

Yep, their all containers

 

[irfan]

I don't think Afridi's bowling will threaten Aus so Gul is the only dangerous bowler against them.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Haddin 34(52) & Ponting 17(28)

 

[ilovebouncers]

yes was azhan!

 

[alishahid]

the last time pakistan faced aussies during a worldcup, it was symonds game..totally belonged to him as he rescued australia after a strugling start. that was the day he established himself into the team as a batsmen/allrounder.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

He should be .

 

[saeedhk]

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

 

[TigerJat]

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

Really need a breakthrough right now.,

 

[tallashk]

another crap comes in.. hafeez

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Last time Pak met Aus.....Pak was humiliated
