Offical score thread - Aus v pak @ perth

[Uzi]

We need some big overs here. Both Symonds and Hogg are there to be hit. A few big overs will bring the req. run rate down and make it easier.

 

[Amjid Javed]

run rate is fine...! just chill razzaq and yoyo need to bat thru to near end here!

 

[Nawazb]

10 of the over that is more like it

 

[Amjid Javed]

latest --> Pakistan 155/5 (33.5 ov)

 

[the true passionist]

the big Q?
can yohana do it this time...
he has played well in many unsuccessful chases?

 

[Naveed]

Just no stupid runouts from these 2!

 

[Nawazb]

if razzaq stopped watsing balls we could have a real chance

 

[Gasherbrum]

razz losing the plot a bit against symonds, too many dots ...

 

[Uzi]

[Nawazb]

[Uzi]

Razzaq swinging air

 

[Uzi]

yes 7 an over is ok, but when it creeps up to the 8 region that is when it gets tricky.

 

[Amjid Javed]

razzaq can il afford to get out! one of these 2 has 2 bat thru whole inns!

 

[Nawazb]

[badxhah]

[Gasherbrum]

[Nawazb]

yoyo gone looks like thats it for us

It was Malik's call, but brilliant fielding by Symonds, who ran stride for stride with Malik (who was at non-strikers end) and kicked the ball onto the stumps.

[Uzi]

41.5 Symonds to Shahid Afridi, OUT: caught! short ball, pulled very high

[Uzi]

Man there was absolutely no need for that from Afridi. This task is going to be a lot harder now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

latest --> Pakistan 224/7 (42.0 ov)

42 needed 48 balls

 

[Naveed]

Razzak needs to bring it home and take MOM

 

[Officer Barbrady]

That is how he is.

 

[Amjid Javed]

if afridi had a brain he wud be next viv richards!

 

[Amjid Javed]

latest --> Pakistan 226/7 (42.4 ov)

40 off 44 needed

 

[Uzi]

This is tense guys

 

[Naveed]

Amjid still think Afridi should be considered for ODI captain?

 

[dan hudson]

Just seen the score...

THE AFRIDI!!!

Wow.

 

[Amjid Javed]

latest --> Pakistan 231/7 (43.1 ov)

naveed, my 1st choice has always been razzaq, yes id consider afridi still! maybe responsbaility will make him use his brain

 

[badxhah]

[Schiller]

go afridi goooooo


I meant razzaq

well done afridi really!!!! hes brought us close

 

[badxhah]

Grrrrrrrrrrr i hate afridi he looked all set to take to victory then he had to play a shot like that

I guess that come wid the package wid afridi

 

[badxhah]

Schiller afridi gone 2 overs ago

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 241/7 (44.0 ov)

25 needed off 36

come on "the razzaq"

 

[dan hudson]

Pakistan should be home and dry from here.

Sensational effort from the "bits and pieces" players.

 

[Uzi]

If Pak win you will forget that. Afiridi came in and turned the match around. Obviously he will be blamed if pak were to lose, but if Pak win then he will be considered a hero. But Razzaq has been very impressive so far.

 

[badxhah]

Only if Rana can get a touch on the ball frm mcgrath

 

[feather]

they all deserve credit for what they have done so far! lets not be very harsh! afridi hit 30...who knows if he could have gotten 30 singles but least he got us an extra 15 balls or so.

Inshallah razzaq can do us home!
