Offical DISCUSSION thread - Aus v pak (2nd final) @ sydney

[Civil]

even abc commentators admitted that australia are always lucky like that
and that should definitely should be out

 

[Wasif]

i can't believe this .. that was OUT !!

 

[Schiller]

Bloody Hellll
cheating basta.rds

 

[sajjad]

commentators sure it was out too

what a pity
another one going aussies way

 

[kashmiri]

so this is how they plan to beat the pakistanis

i think if they continue like this, the pkistani team should quit the game, maybe the hue and cry would affect something somewhere

 

[feather]

I think PCB should do some thing about these shitty guys who can't seem to see where the bowl is going...

 

[sajjad]

rao keeping it outside off
bowling well in my mind

 

[feather]

well a good over by anjum..

 

[kashmiri]

1.2 Iftikhar Anjum to Clarke, no run, leaves one outside off again
For what its worth, Hawkeye says pitching leg, hitting middle

was that out too?

 

[sajjad]

kashmiri, he was mentioning the earlier appeal

 

[sajjad]

justice is gonna be served
Gilchrist will get out soon

 

[feather]

well I hope so sajjad

 

[kashmiri]

but what abotu the umpire
i mean how can tey get away with this

i think we need clive lloyd to comment on the umpiring standars in australia

 

[feather]

umm rana is getting a beating or so it seems..

 

[sajjad]

rudi, sure isnt missing those noballs
just slightly over the line

comentators mentioning he had 1 in the last match which wasnt one

gilchrist swings away
gets an edge for four

 

[kashmiri]

who had one in the last match which wasnt one

 

[sajjad]

rana had a no ball called which wasnt one


meanwhile taufeeq saves runs at mid on

 

[kashmiri]

these goras are worse than the indians

i would play with indian umpires any day

 

[sajjad]

definitely, indians dont cheat like this
atleast theyr fair

these *******s r much worse

 

[kashmiri]

i think on this occasion we should be allowed to swear

 

[sajjad]

another beautiful cut
fielded but 2 still run

 

[kashmiri]

how is our fielding?

 

[feather]

this isn't looking good at all...

 

[sajjad]

six over afridi @ the boundary off an excellent hook shot

afridi 3 yrds in
had he been back it may well have been out

 

[Schiller]

bad luck again
what was afridi doing far from he bounday
poor fielding

 

[sajjad]

gilch 32 off 19 balls
5 4's and a six

 

[sajjad]

Rao on the legs of Clarke
smoothed away for 4

nice shot!!

 

[sajjad]

another 4 by gilchrist

Aus 48/0(1)

 

[feather]

I think it is about time that inzi takes rana off and gives some one else a try...

 

[sajjad]

aus 52/0 in the 7th

 

[sajjad]

great running
7 off the over

Aus 53/0
RR >7.5

 

[sajjad]

Razzaq bowling well here
slowing the aussies down

 

[sajjad]

Razzaq gets the wicket

Gilchrist is now gone
Upire did not need to take a decision

Pakistan making a comeback

 

[sajjad]

Australian RR down to 5.7 after 10

 

[sajjad]

RR down to 5.18 after 11

 

[DesiMD]

run rate down to 4.9

 

[sajjad]

Cant bowl to ponting on the stumps

hell keep hitting ya for 4

 

[DesiMD]

70/1 now

 

[sajjad]

another one too straight
four more for ponting

 

[sajjad]

he will do that all day
no problems

 

[DesiMD]

wadda hell.....what is razzaq doing...they are htting him so easily

 

[sajjad]

Ponting looking in good form
striking the ball cleanly and off the middle off the bat

we need to get him

 

[sajjad]

razzaq veering towards the stumps
u cant do that
not too ponting esp on this wkt

 

[sajjad]

why is no one else commenting

the match is on fellas
come back out

 

[kasoo10]

I think it is time for the 3D man to come. This pitch is supposed to spin.

 

[Civil]

Rao is bowling great, he's definitely accurate

 

[sajjad]

Aus 88/1 after 17 overs
RR 5.18

 

[sajjad]

Afridi into the attack now

 

[fakhar]

c'mon fridi...we need a wicket

 

[sajjad]

only 2 off the over

RR 5 flat

 

[Civil]

Good first over by afridi
the run rate is below 5

 

[sajjad]

gives away 7 this time
RR back @ 5

 

[Civil]

Hafeez in

to bowl

 

[MIG]

Wow ! When I left home for work about 40 minutes ago - Pak were on the rack, wondering what that lbw would cost us and the score rate was close to 9/over - now I check , Razzaq has sent Gilchrist back and the rate close to 5 - what a turn around - Well done Pak - impress me more and more....

 

[sajjad]

we need wickets and we need em in pairs

 

[sajjad]

easy runs in the offering hafeez n afridi bowling to both sides of the wkt

 

[sajjad]

RR @ 5 with no effort at all

 

[MIG]

I get the feeling that this is a "batsmans paradise" kind of pitch ? I suppose thats where Lees sheer pace comes in handy - of only Shoaib could learn...

 

[Naveed]

Brilliant bowling by Hafeez

 

[MIG]

Hafeez and Afridi are doing a good job:

Bowlers: O M R W Econ
Mohammad Hafeez (OB) 2.4 0 11 0 4.12 (0nb, 0w)
Shahid Afridi (LBG) 4 0 15 0 3.75

Good eco rates...

 

[MIG]

Make that a great job - Clarke gone !

 

[Naveed]

Hafeez cleaerly demonstrating that having him in was the correct choice.

 

[sajjad]

another wkt here will do us well
cmon Afridi
dekha de jado

 

[MIG]

Still doing a great job - Pak showing great fight here.

 

[sajjad]

big big wicket here
Ponting gone

The Afridi strikes
Well done Pakistan!

 

[Guest]

bits and pieces players not doing too badly here!!!

 

[MIG]

Clear as day - Pak are playing like heroes here - well done to each and everyone....

 

[sajjad]

32nd over n the aussies are 3 down
we wud do well to keep them down to 240-250 after a blistering start

 

[MIG]

From Cricinfo.....

31.4 Shahid Afridi to Lehmann, no run, cuts to backward point, what he
should have done first ball on Friday

D

 

[Wasif]

Pakistan going a pretty good job so far ..

AUS 3/147 | Over 32

 

[sajjad]

Lehman will fall early i predict

 

[MIG]

I wonder if there was a need to play Azhar - we could have played Yasir - the current 5 are doing a good job - Rana was very very unlucky and will no doubt come back to improve his figures...

 

[kasoo10]

Why Azhar has not bowled yet? He must have been given a chance.

check them out and decide for urself

 

[kasoo10]

Kamran Akmal ruined it for us. He needs more experience in pressure situations.

 

[sajjad]

akmal took the bail off

DAMMIT

 

[Wasif]

AUS 3/155 | Over 35
