Offical DISCUSSION thread - Aus v Pak ODI(1st final) [3/02/05]

[Kean0]

WHOLLY SH!T!!!!

Abdul Razzaq just had Symonds PLUMB!!!!!

I cant understand what game these 2 umpires r watching!!

 

[kasoo10]

I think it is time to change Afridi. Does he bother the batsman at all at this moment? May be this is time to bring on Kashif's 3D man.

 

[Sid9999]

i am pretty sure.. that Symonds appeal kean mentioned was going down the leg...

 

[Civil]

Oh my gosh

is anyone listening to the ABC radio comentary?

The commentator just said "id like to put a speed gun and see who's faster kumble or afridi"

HAHAHHAHA LMAO

D

 

[sajjad]

cmon pakistan
beat these cheating motherf uckers

 

[kasoo10]

Civil, where do you get this comentary?

 

[Civil]

http://www.abc.net.au/streaming/events/live720.asx

try this link

 

[Sid9999]

do u know who are the commentators right now...

 

[Naveed]

What kills me is that the Australian commentator is singing the praises of Symonds and Martyn when they both should be back in the dressing room.

 

[kasoo10]

Thanks Civil, I got it. You just helped another Canadian Mind, Pakistani Heart in Toronto!

 

[Civil]

some west indian guy fazeer mohammad

and Australian guy

 

[sajjad]

its the umpires they shud be praising, naveed!

 

[Civil]

no problem kasoo,
I am in Toronto right now as well!!

 

[kasoo10]

They do not grade Pakistan very well. Saying we got a chance b/c Lara was down.

 

[Sid9999]

thats not what they meant Kasoo...

 

[badxhah]

Cant ch9 find good commentators and replace nicolas ..or all of them want to become umpires

 

[Sid9999]

pakistan is just trying to contain right now... which seems like a risky proposition...

 

[badxhah]

hey mods can i swear at the umpires and some of the commentators i wana get my fustration out

 

[Civil]

Guys I just realized Damien Martyn hasn't hit a single boundary.

He's almost got 50

has anyone scored 50 without a boundary?
a 100?

 

[sajjad]

171/3
14 overs to go

unless we get some wickets soon
they can get close to 300

 

[Sid9999]

maybe a 50...but 100 in a ODI without a boundary is probably impossible...

 

[Naveed]

What's with that "**** **** ****" sign?

 

[sajjad]

direct that question to that cricinfo fellas.
its an interesting one.

martyn looking to loosen up now though

 

[kasoo10]

Stumpped finally. Martin gone!

 

[kasoo10]

Who is out second? I wish it is symonds.

 

[Civil]

Lehmann gone

 

[kasoo10]

Well Lehmann is also dangerous now a days. But we have to get rid of symonds asap.

 

[DM]

Woo, Afridi nearly getting a hattrick!!

 

[kasoo10]

This is at least second time ozzy has lost a wicket off a reverse sweep. Why are they trying it again and again. Was it ozzy or wi when someone got out same way?

 

[kasoo10]

Very interesting comment. It is a record getting a golden duck off a reverse sweep.

 

[kasoo10]

Also interesting is comment from Mushtaq Muhammad that Shoaib is not critical for Indian tour.

 

[sajjad]

cmon pakistan
time for the quick bowlers to do some damage

 

[sajjad]

rana bhai is first up

 

[Civil]

5 overs Hopefully they'll keep the total below 250 guys

 

[kasoo10]

I do not think they can get to 300, it would be very bad performance from Pakistan if it happens.

 

[Naveed]

Davis strikes again

 

[kasoo10]

250 sounds more likely. Let us see.

 

[Civil]

Katich gone

RAZZAQ !!!

 

[Naveed]

He had to get KAtich out twice

 

[kasoo10]

Symonds out! Very well bold by razzak

 

[Civil]

^-! ^-! ^-! ^-!

Razzaq on hatrick

 

[kasoo10]

Is wattson any good with the bat. I know Lee can throw it around.

 

[kasoo10]

It could be soo coool to bold out ozzys for less then 250 and then defeat them!!!

|-E |-E |-E |-E

 

[Civil]

Watsons a better bat than Lee
according to media never really seen him bat

 

[kasoo10]

I think it might just happen. Ozzy bold out for less than 250 and Pakistan winning.

 

[Naveed]

Beatutiful catch by Hafeez!

 

[kasoo10]

What happen to our team, why they are catching so well????

 

[Civil]

Great death bowling!!

Akhtar who???

 

[kasoo10]

I wonder if spinich dite was really having an effect on Razzak.

 

[kasoo10]

ok, so we have to hit the stumps to get ozzys out. Nothing else works.

 

[Civil]

Rana getting unlucky, i still think a total below 250 is great, need to buckle down

 

[Civil]

I couldnt have spoke soon enuff

BOWLED 'EM

 

[kasoo10]

Pakistan did half the job. I am not sure how are conditions, what effect can rain have? It just got so interesting. I have to get to work in the morning. Or I can just call in sick!

 

[sajjad]

Pakistan with a great chance to go 1 up in the bestof3 finals. Need some cool heads out there who can bat calmly and collectively.

Take it slow to start. 15 overs target shud be 50 for 1 wkt or less.

 

[DM]

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT STUFF FROM PAKSITAN!!

GREAT outfield play, they've done themselves extremely proud. Even if we dont win today, we can take so much heart from how we handled most of this innings!!

Kasoo, if it's any help, there's an expected surge in these months in the number of people getting the flu v

 

[feather]

Pakistan did extremely well even though we were very unlucky because of the shitty umpiring...I just hope we go finish the job with the bat

 

[Awesome Anjum]

When does our Inns begin (GMT) ?

 

[Mapleleafs]

when did the first innings end??

 

[Guest]

The whole team bowled brilliantly today let by Rana.
Pakistan very unlucky with the umpiring otherwise Australia would have been gone for under 200.

Mixed bag from Pakistan in the field with regards to fielding, Razzaq and Khalil dropped catches but then Razzaq pulled of an amazing catch a one handed leaping catch at mid on.

Inzy catching the powerfull hit by Symonds at the edge of the circle.

Hafeez catching Lee on the boundary edge bowl would have gone for 6 otherwise.

All set for Pakistan to chase down the target.

 

[arsal_pakfan]

all they need now is a good start and hopefully some good umpiring!...the Australian umpire should be hanged for the kind of umpiring he did today |-F

 

[sajjad]

We should look for a slow solid start.
15 overs 50 runs if just fine.

 

[feather]

damn damn salman gone for a duck!

 

[sajjad]

he may have gotten an inside edge

interesting replay thisll be

 

[feather]

I think inzi and yoyo might come in bit late today after malik...hafeez upsets the batting order...I really hope these kids do some thing special before the big bats come out..

 

[sajjad]

im waiting for snicko to show the edge

didnt seem like one but butt was very dissappointed with the decision

 

[feather]

well kamran goes as well...okiee *** are they doing?

 

[razzler]

Bad Bad start.

 

[sajjad]

he handed it right to the fielder
what a show was that

batsmen not checking the field

pakistan in deep ****

 

[sajjad]

we need a solid sturdy start
we sure havent got one

youhanna out there already

 

[feather]

yoyo bowled

 

[feather]

This seriously sux!!

 

[sajjad]

hahahha

nazar lag gayee pakistan ko
152.4 km/h

pakistan getting rolled over

 

[badxhah]

yoyo goes i think pakistan have hit the self destruct button here

 

[sajjad]

what a horrible start.

Lotsa pressure now on the rest of the team.

 

[Guest]

Can we keep discussions to this thread and score updates in the score thread.

Thanks.

 

[sajjad]

Finally an over without a wicket

The 237 looking galaxies away at the moment

 

[Bailan]

i just want these two to stay till the 40th over ... and then Razzaq and afridi can take over from there

make 200~ runs in 10 overs ...

also ... I hate to say this ... but i don't see hafeez lasting in there wrong

 

[sajjad]

Hafeez will prove you wrong tonight

 

[sajjad]

gillespie on
a little respite from Lee after 5 bruising overs

 

[badxhah]

Hafeez will prove you wrong tonight

hafeez |-A
