Australia vs Pakistan | Tri-Series: Final | Harare | July 8, 2018 | Australia Innings

[Abdullah719]

This is too good a start for Aussieland...

If there was ever a fluke, it's this partnership. Ridiculous.

 

[pratiktc]

Darcy Short playing luckiest inns of all time.

 

[imshally81]

Bhai.. Kia chal raha hey yeh?

 

[Abdullah]

Awful start.
They have been oh so lucky but our fielding has been woeful

 

[dauntless]

So many moral victories for bowlers

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia has been incredible lucky so far...

IN Finals Aussies always do well , You need to be mentally stronger , unfortunately Pakistan has not been today.

 

[NauV]

Unbelievable luck for the Aussies!

 

[Shafi]

As usual our body language for the final is poor. 2 win against Zimbabwe B team is useless if we cannot win against Australia A

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Australia have scored 54-0 in the powerplay.A good start from them

 

[Darkrai]

pathetic fielding.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan missed the trick by not playing another spin option.

 

[arehaan]

Poor fielding from pakistan switched off for the wrong game. No energy in field

 

[imshally81]

 

[Abdullah719]

Bring back Rixon

 

[punter17]

Pakistan doesn't deserve to win it. Poor fielding & catching, and bowling short. Seems like a B-team which has been over-rated. Doesn't look like a number 1 side.

 

[Justcrazy]

You need spinners to tame Australia , a big blunder by Mickey yet again , neglecting importance of spinners.

 

[Shafi]

Fortune favors the brave as usual. Our players are as usual tremble in final. Australia will win this match by at least 100+ runs

 

[punter17]

Malik the bhuddha has dropped Finch. It would prove costly.

 

[punter17]

Rixon has departed, and now the fielding standards have dropped to worst. Makes sense

 

[Watsupdoc]

Finch will eat Shadab alive.

 

[Justcrazy]

This will be a big total for Pakistan to chase .

 

[dauntless]

Platform set for a bigger score. 200 coming up

 

[Watsupdoc]

Raining boundaries here...

 

[punter17]

Who would take the catches off shadab? since we have poor fielding

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pakistan getting smashed now.Shadab brought into the attack.

 

[Cozyrensetter]

Pak looking at chasing 210+

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If Shaheen's next 3 overs don't produce any magic, Pakistan can kiss this match goodbye.

 

[Cozyrensetter]

How is this team even No1 ?Guess Mr mamoon was right

 

[Arham_PakFan]

13 runs off the over.Australia going at above 10 RPO

 

[imshally81]

200 is on...

 

[pratiktc]

Match probably as good as done. Aus well on course for passing 170 from here on.

Can't see Pak batting chasing that down in a final

 

[punter17]

Malik should be grilled for dropping Finch

 

[imshally81]

Butter fingers....

 

[Slim]

Fluke partnership and adding to the injury is our pathetic fielding.

 

[Slim]

Amir didnt even attempt to take a catch on Shaheen's ball. Something tells me he did that deliberately.

 

[imshally81]

Great delivery..

 

[shariqnoor]

Getting smoked here by Australia B team !!!

 

[boomboomcheema]

Shaheen has bowled well.

 

[Slim]

Pak looking at chasing 210+

If Shaheen's next 3 overs don't produce any magic, Pakistan can kiss this match goodbye.

How is this team even No1 ?Guess Mr mamoon was right

Good to see saffron brothers back on the forum. We were missing you in the last Pak/Aus and Eng/Ind match.

 

[imshally81]

Amir didnt even attempt to take a catch on Shaheen's ball. Something tells me he did that deliberately.

Exactly... Even he didn't scratch the hands...

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Do they know how to bowl?

 

[punter17]

Amir didnt even attempt to take a catch on Shaheen's ball. Something tells me he did that deliberately.

Yes, he has been doing this for quite some time. There was one other occassion i can recall where he purposely didnt attempt so that the onus of drop catch doesn't drop on him.

Same with Malik catch, he didnt call. it was amirs catch

 

[imshally81]

Bad line from Shadab...

 

[Justcrazy]

Finch destroying the bowling

 

[hadi123]

I can't see us winning this game. Fielding etc has been awful so we clearly aren't with it today.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Too easy for Finch .

 

[dravidthewall]

Six finch

 

[dauntless]

Shadab khan has been pretty abysmal in this series with the ball.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Watsupdoc]

Finally a catch. Good catch from Farhan!

 

[dauntless]

And he got a wicket. Wonderful

 

[pkckt]

hack gone

 

[Arham_PakFan]

First wicket and it's Finch who has hit Shadab's ball straight to debutant Farhan.

 

[hadi123]

Wicket. Thank God. Need to keep them below 180 to have a chance.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Good catch by Farhan. That was hit hard

 

[Nelson on]

166 Australia

 

[Justcrazy]

Finch has already done damage.

 

[imshally81]

Time for attack...

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Need to get Amir into the attack now.

 

[Justcrazy]

166 Australia

They already have 96 .

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Australia have been good in running between the wickets.

 

[Slim]

Yes, he has been doing this for quite some time. There was one other occassion i can recall where he purposely didnt attempt so that the onus of drop catch doesn't drop on him.

Same with Malik catch, he didnt call. it was amirs catch

Its more about Shaheen getting a wicket. Amir is of that sort. I can judge from his body language.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Short has been super lucky today...

 

[Mainul]

I didn't see the match yet but how how Australia played so much intense raw T20?

 

[imshally81]

Good Yorker

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need some more quick wickets and tight overs to make a comeback here

 

[Markhor]

We need a tough taskmaster as fielding coach like Rixon.

Anyone else and the players relax and go back to square one.

 

[shariqnoor]

Hasan Ali has been the biggest disappointment in this tournament. All our fast bowlers have not bowled any variations.

 

[Nelson on]

Boy this short guy is not short of any luck today

 

[Khan12]

Man Aussies luck is unreal.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Shaheen can be like Starc.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

The fielding has been ridiculously bad.

 

[imshally81]

Rixon ko wapis laoooo

 

[imshally81]

 

[shariqnoor]

Ramiz Raja's commentary follows the ball. If the ball went to leg slip, he would commentate that Sarfraz should've kept a leg slip. Embarrassing.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Nawaz has been pathetic in the field today.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shadab picks his second wicket.Glenn Maxwell departs the crease.

 

[Nelson on]

Sarfraz face

 

[Slim]

We need a tough taskmaster as fielding coach like Rixon.

Anyone else and the players relax and go back to square one.

Players are pure beghayart if they need someone to tell them how to field properly all the time.

 

[QalandarFan]

Shadab with his second wicket, our fielding however has been horrendous, not just in this match but in this whole series.
