[zulfiqar]

Commentator (moody i think?): "Gambir tried to get run out, then he tried to get himself runout again and eventually it worked the 3rd time"

 

[Gujra]

[NJamal]

[Inzy's Aloo]

[ace4rmspace]

Lovely lovely ball ... nice shape in ... a touch more and it was bang!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

TAIT & LEE going to take wickets and win it for australia

There you go!

c'mon Australia..knock India out!!!

 

[Strike!]

Lee does it again!!

 

[ads101]

India throwing this away.

If Raina gets out cheaply, run rate will start to become an issue.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Lee proving his worth! Stunned silence from the crowd! ) )

 

[NeVerMind]

Dhoni gone!

 

[zulfiqar]

Wow! Lee!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Chin Music...

 

[grunge]

[ace4rmspace]

Whats amazing is the collective Sigh from the crowd ...

 

[tahaqureshi]

Nehra is on the pitch ... collapse?

What about Raina??

 

[cricketpassion]

Pakistan vs Australia Semifinal ??

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Suresh Raina still there, and with Yuvraj, it still think India is holding the upper hand.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Raina in.

 

[Gujra]

Blame Guti if India lose........

 

[hashmist]

I thought about this dillema and here's what I've come up with hashmist!

We can't open with a spinner against India; that's SUICIDE! The only spinner capable is Ajmal, and I'd still rather not. I'd risk opening with Gul & Razzak (Yes, i said razzak). He's one of those Sachin-killer bowlers and Watson/Haddin aren't exactly getting OZ off to fliers either! Sachin/Sehwag will get India off to a flier anyway I feel and we can expect something like 50/0 (6-7 overs) anyway, so no point in ruining non-powerplay overs from better bowlers in that time frame. Next , for first change I'd bring in Akhtar/Riaz whoever is playing. THe point is to strike the openers out, because runs will flow anyway!

Still though, Gul. Afridi. Ajmal! Have faith man!

I am not sure about opening with Razla, bc Sehwag will for sure take the game away from us. He is capable of scoring 100 from 8 overs if Razzla is not clicking and releasing all the pressure built by Gul. I say open with Akhtar and Gul and try to get both Tendu and Veru out. That is our only hope. Trying to contain Sehwag is pointless.

 

[the saint]

india still have a couple of fighting cricketers left. Harbhajan specifically.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

aus favs now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Dhoni flops again!

Are India going to bottle this?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dot ball.

 

[Inzy's Aloo]

Someone needs to play a Rockstars knock now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Around the wicket short balls. Get the first aid kit ready.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lee needs to send Raina packing straight away here!

 

[TigerJat]

its getting tight, crazy shot from done

 

[zulfiqar]

Aussies almost defended 170~ against us, 260 is really a nice big buffer for them! Yuvi is key!

 

[the saint]

this is a tough game to watch for Pakistan. hate both teams

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Run a ball needed,

 

[jattafridi]

danger man in raina

 

[ads101]

get raina or Yuvraj out and this match will turn interesting.

 

[Looney]

Lol Lee scared the daylights out of Dhoni when he ran towards him . Guess he thought Lee would run him over

 

[JellyBro]

what was their reason for not playing Pathan? Is he injured.?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another dot ball.

 

[Munna]

bowl is gona reverse soon .. in fact it has already started to a bit!


a new batsman .. a lethal bowler on!

run a ball needed... 5 wickets remaining ..
batting line is expected to collapse again ...

in short .. india ki lagi hui hai

 

[ace4rmspace]

What about Raina??

Nehra came with the drinks or something. I can't miss that face ...

 

[Romali_rotti]

Game over I feel, Ah well SRT you will go down without a WC, I guess you cant have everything...

 

[tahaqureshi]

now less balls than runs remaining!

 

[strongman123]

Bowl short to Raina and he will give you the wicket.

 

[Sheikh_Chilli]

Australians smell blood and are now all gathered
around Suresh for the kill.


Sheikh 'Shark' Chilli

 

[zulfiqar]

Raina is totally batting out of position; he's best higher up the order in powerplay... right now it will be difficult for Raina to get the bowl away I feel. He won't be able to work the pacers for singles so early on in his innings. Yuvraj will have to cover for him

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Maiden Over.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

74 needed in 72.

 

[kasoo10]

What a match winner Lee is. Love the stuff from him.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Ghambir you idoit what the heck were you thinking when you ran for that run....

 

[KingKhanWC]

this is a tough game to watch for Pakistan. hate both teams

You're lucky you're not an Indian fan today.

Any on here?

 

[the saint]

bring back Tait

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wicket maiden!

74 needed from 72 balls now!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Tait on.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Single.

 

[Munna]

tait better get his line n length rite now!

 

[Looney]

Worst part - Lee still got 4 oovers to go

 

[Inzy's Aloo]

It would be bad if India win the game from here. They will be pumped-up for semi-final.

Imagine if Harbhajan makes a match-winning quick-fire Pepsi 20 or 30

 

[oyei]

man o man, we have a game,

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What short of a shot was that, Raina?

) ) )

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good delivery from Tait, wasn't even that short but Raina played it like a schoolboy

 

[the saint]

how many runs did australia waste bowling krejza

 

[zulfiqar]

Tait is back! My wish is granted! He needs to get as many overs out of Tait as he can because after India takes the batting PP there's no room for Tait... and it will have to be all Lee/Johnson/Watson

 

[KingKhanWC]

Worst part - Lee still got 4 oovers to go

The Key to this match Mr Brett 'Bruce' Lee.

 

[Munna]

if dhoni has crumbled here in pressure ....

then mohali mein uska kia hoga kaaliya

 

[HumorMe]

this is a tough game to watch for Pakistan. hate both teams

Really? I kinda like the Aussies....rooted for them all winter against England

 

[ace4rmspace]

Game over I feel, Ah well SRT you will go down without a WC, I guess you cant have everything...

Hausla rakho bhai ... it's far from over.

 

[oyei]

india need couple of bad overs from australia, and they are back in game,

 

[zulfiqar]

In fact, I'm not sure about Watson either... he could probably give David hussey a few overs instead

 

[Looney]

Tait is Lee without the heart and head Australia is looking dangerousssssss so i would like Pakistan to face them now

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yet another dot ball.
