[Afridi_Fan]

My God, Take bow Ponting.

100

 

[ace_allrounder]

Excuse me?

Excused.Now dont derail this thread.

I will watch the match tomorrow.Pakistan will have to work hard to defeat the Aussies in the final though

 

[don1990]

 

[Momo]

Ingerland are right up there in the choking stakes with SA and India.

Well not quite.

 

[don1990]

100 for pointing.... wht a knock......

 

[Juggernaut]

Australia most likely into another final even with a not so great team.

I wasn't rooting for anyone in particular but the Aussie's have shown their class once again.

I think they'll go into the final as favourite's.

 

[Savak]

Seriously this English bowling attack looks such crap at the moment, fine Sri Lankans had to play in some difficult batting conditions but the South Africans should have destroyed this English bowling well they did get to 300 in that run chase.

 

[ace_allrounder]

Bola tha na..Ponting ko rokna mushkil nahin,NA MUMKIN hai!

 

[On_the_up]

Ponting gets his sau

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

auss playing like champions

 

[don1990]

Bresnan to Ponting, , gets to his hundred with a crispy cover drive, gets his bat and body behind a half volley and pierces the gap between mid-off and cover with little effort

 

[Afridi_Fan]

ok so one of Ian's predicted teams is in the final.

 

[Momo]

Great innings by Ponting. Tandulkar should learn from the master.

Having said that, Aussies are too dependent on Ponting I believe.

 

[On_the_up]

Australia cruising it

Watson 4 away from 3 figures

 

[Juggernaut]

ok so one of Ian's predicted teams is in the final.

Let's pray his other prediction comes true and lets hope their's an upset in the final.

 

[12thMan]

Ponting looking nervous against Bresnan. First a dot ball and then some how manages a single to get off the strike. Watson to face Bresnan now

 

[don1990]

 

[On_the_up]

Smashed :6 and 100 for Watson

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Watson 100.

 

[On_the_up]

off 115 balls

 

[don1990]

100 for watson.....

 

[Juggernaut]

Great innings by Ponting. Tandulkar should learn from the master.

Having said that, Aussies are too dependent on Ponting I believe.

Probably so but the fact is the man relishes that responsibility. He just doesn't want to get out. Infact he doesn't give you a chance. It would take something great ,like the catch Gul took, to get this man out.

 

[ace_allrounder]

Congrats Twatson!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and record broken

 

[don1990]

Anderson to Watson, :6 , gets to his hundred with a statement of intent, Anderson drops it a fraction short and Watson swivels and clubs a flat six over deep midwicket, he raises his arms as soon as the ball flies off the bat

 

[jazba]

Persistence with Watson paid off.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bigger

 

[On_the_up]

another HUGE one more

 

[don1990]

and record broken

 

[On_the_up]

Its elementary

 

[don1990]

:6

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

crushing defeat for england

 

[don1990]

watson is in hurry to finish the match.....

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

what a moment to find form for watson

 

[Afridi_Fan]

God that would have hurt big times.

 

[don1990]

This is the fifth time an Australian second-wicket pair has added 200 or more runs in ODIs intrestingly in all pointing is involved.....

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

auss looks unbeatable

 

[truth]

If Pakistan were bowling right now, I would have bet we would have won.

But its England then.

Do not be overconfident mate it was Pakistan also which suffered earlier stages in their match and had to come back later .................. with Gul the death bowler specialist bowkled his last over to 8th and 9th batsman still Aussies won ...................

And also do not forget during Ind vs Pak match initially Gambhir, Raina slashed the balls and got out in their ediotic fashion ........

Yes Pakistan would made it hard for Australia to get to the total but they are far better bowling side than other teams but being over confident is not good ....

 

[Momo]

Probably so but the fact is the man relishes that responsibility. He just doesn't want to get out. Infact he doesn't give you a chance. It would take something great ,like the catch Gul took, to get this man out.

That's correct.

But after three great innings, he may be due for a flop. Must unleash Ajmal on him early.

 

[Seen Sheen]

All I can say about this statement is that you just tried it but failed.

well,from medical point of view,people who can perform that action are considered normal while the ones who cant perform are known as________

 

[ajk88]

Are you Indian in disguise.

Nah bro, my happiest moment as a Pakistani fan was when we beat Australia in that '02 series and Shoaib got that 5fer.

I'm just saying smart money is on Australia.

Too confident mmmm ....... let them pass through NZ ........ yes it would not be a problem but let them pass thro NZ before making judgements on how to play Final

Ji Acha Daada Jaan

Ok Beta ............

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Too confident mmmm ....... let them pass through NZ ........ yes it would not be a problem but let them pass thro NZ before making judgements on how to play Final

Theek hai bhai, ab aik baat ko tu pakar ker mut betho.

 

[don1990]

Anderson to Watson, short down the leg side and the batsman can't resist a hook, the ball balloons off the top edge and just clears Davies who leaps in vain

 

[Momo]

well,from medical point of view,people who can perform that action are considered normal while the ones who cant perform are known as________

Did you find it out in the last twenty minutes?

Chalo yaar hum normal hi sahi.

 

[Noman]

colly 4 runns

 

[don1990]

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok Beta ............

Don't worry, I will only send instructions to the players about how to beat Australia when they are in final.

 

[12thMan]

Don't worry about Australia in Finals. Pakistan trained with Akmal and Nazir opening at the dinner table last night and they cleaned up some of the dishes pretty well. Strike rate was very good and it took a long 37 minutes before Nazir gave up

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another

 

[don1990]

[On_the_up]

Watson's highest ODI score in his career 134*

 

[don1990]

23 runs in that over.....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Over to Watson to end the game in one blow.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ohh I'm disappointed, he just scored a single.

 

[Momo]

Must say Collingwood gives some delightful offerings.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

GIVE Auss the trophy.....it makes no sense playing

 

[don1990]

partnership 250 runs, 40.0 overs, RR: 6.25 (Ponting 110, Watson 133)
