Pakistan v Australia | 1st ODI | Dubai | 22/4/09 [Aus Inngs]

[UP]

Good show by Pakistan! Love it

 

[saeed-sohail]

still want tanvir to replace ajmal next match or fawad alam

What have been smoking today drop ajmal are you serious?

 

[IM NOT YOU]

This must be Afridis best bowling figures v a non-minnow?

honestly, give it a rest amjid.

like seriously. if theres one time u should just sit back and watch as opposed to talk. its now. afridi has always been a good spinner, against minnows or non - minnows. if it took you this long to figure it out, then you should seriously find another hobby.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Even Bangladesh can beat THIS aussie side..

 

[saeed-sohail]

yaar ye apna Zaz nazar nahin aa raha.

 

[IronMan2009]

Pakistan might as well drop all the pacers and pack the side with spinners. They can fancy themselves to bowl this pathetic Australian side out for 60 odd runs.

 

[Fallen King]

Sohail Tanveer can be recalled in replace of Rao. It's Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi Day!

 

[Umta]

Afridi is all about how u handle him. In Shoaib Malik's time he was ordinary because they didn't handle him properly. Now that Younis Khan is posing confidence in him, he has responded

 

[Oxy]

The Great Imran Khan is there watching!

Legend!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Amjid javed should critisize more players.

 

[cricwiz]

Thats what I have been saying for a month or so...

Give Afridi the responsibility and give him aggressive fielding, he would respond ...

I hope he is also promoted to No. 4 for the whole series with same responsibility that he is a batsman.. I am sure he would try to respond...

 

[Oxy]

DROPPED AT SLIP!

Easy chance

 

[IronMan2009]

Australia should try to score 200 runs in the first 10 overs and defend the spinners and score the remaining in the last 5 overs. If this is the trend it will be 5-0 pakistan.

 

[kablooee87]

Forgive my paranoia, but I'd be a lot more comfortable if we actually got the final wicket.

 

[Oxy]

Gul straying.

Get MAlik on!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Gul saab yorker pls

 

[shabbu1]

What is Gul doing on? It can't be any more obvious that the wicket is taking a lot of SPIN! Bring on Malik for the love of God..

 

[Oxy]

Tail enders are playing Gul like he is bowling blindfolded - its too easy

 

[VandeMataram]

Spinners did well for Pak, but pacers were ordinary today

 

[Amjid Javed]

honestly, give it a rest amjid.

like seriously. if theres one time u should just sit back and watch as opposed to talk. its now. afridi has always been a good spinner, against minnows or non - minnows. if it took you this long to figure it out, then you should seriously find another hobby.

Why dont i slap the stats of his performances against non-minnows before this game in your face!

Hes had one good game which am applauding facts are otherwise hes been dire! So i suggest you get your facts right before mouthing off at me!

 

[Tapori]

The tub of lard!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sohail Tanveer can be recalled in replace of Rao. It's Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi Day!

Tanveer would add depth to batting and bowling!

 

[HuZi]

give a over 2 akhtar

 

[saeed-sohail]

gul is off the radar today.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Oyeeee! They're praising Akmal's keeping skills

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Who'll be the MOM if Pakistan wins this match ?

 

[UP]

44444

 

[Mercenary]

Australia's Hopes resting on James

 

[VandeMataram]

pacers struggling to get the last man out, what a shame, Pak badly need asif, the rest of their pacers are not really that good

 

[shabbu1]

Another boundary....not enough pressure being applied here to finish off the innings!

 

[saeed-sohail]

time to bring akhter on

 

[UP]

Shoaib Akhtar back into the attack!

 

[Gunner786]

these free runs could be costly

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Give it to Shoaib Malik yaar... Akhtar ko patana kiyun shuk horaha hai ball keranaa ka..waisa tu karate nahin hain.

 

[Umta]

Shoaib Akhtar on. Hmm I wonder whats going on why they are not bringing Shoaib Malik. It doesnot make any sense. Is there any tension b/w new and a former captain

 

[cricwiz]

Wo ist Malik?
Where is Malik?
Malik kahan hay?

 

[Oxy]

140-9 off 35 overs

 

[Gunner786]

asif?
hes the last person to bring on when tailenders are there

 

[saeed-sohail]

pacers struggling to get the last man out, what a shame, Pak badly need asif, the rest of their pacers are not really that good

Give it a rest man gul and a fit akhter would walk into your team.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Why doesn't Hopeless just throw the bat around and try to get us to 150?

Have faith, young man! There is still 15 overs. I'm siding with the TN family here.

 

[HuZi]

how fast was the fastest ball of akhtar today

 

[Fallen King]

It looks like playing Shoaib Akhtar was very bad decision after all

 

[Umta]

Is Shoaib Malik injured

 

[UP]

damn one more 4

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

well, YK wanted the score to be around 250 - 260. Do you guys think he will be happy with this? I cant tell becasue he always smiles whatever the situation.

 

[IronMan2009]

Spinners are ruling the roost. Australia has no decent spinners. It should be a quick work for Pakistan.

 

[VandeMataram]

Give it a rest man gul and a fit akhter would walk into your team.

IF akhtar is fully fit, a BIG IF>

And we have ZK and Ishant, we don't really need gul, as there is no room for 3 spinner in Indian team as it has two WORLD CLASS spinners in Bhajji and Mishra

 

[Gunner786]

It looks like playing Shoaib Akhtar was very bad decision after all

not really,
playing matches will get him back to full fitness

you can expect him to be back to his best sitting down now can you

 

[OZGOD]

Comeon Hopeless, get us to 150

 

[saeed-sohail]

Will you stop whinging pls

 

[JustAnotherFan]

OZGOD ... 150 ... happy now?

 

[Oxy]

Ive just seen MIG in the crowd.

Put your shirt back on!!!

150-9 off 36 overs

 

[OZGOD]

Keep Shoaib In Please We Need Him Bowling

 

[UP]

What the heck 4 more

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Shoaib is bowling like crap out there. He's got nothing left in him.

 

[shabbu1]

150 up for Aus with that 4...bring on Malik!!!!

 

[Amir]

IF akhtar is fully fit, a BIG IF>

And we have ZK and Ishant, we don't really need gul, as there is no room for 3 spinner in Indian team as it has two WORLD CLASS spinners in Bhajji and Mishra

lol Mishra world class. The guy has bowled one decent spell against the English of all peolpe to b econsidered world class lol.

I cant stop lol'ing because of your post and I am sitting on a a trading floor right now.

 

[IronMan2009]

Going to be 11th defeat in 16 games.

 

[Umta]

Shoaib giving free runs. What are they thinking? Bring in Shoaib Malik please

 

[Plasma]

Just woke up, and i am in disbelief!

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

150 comes up for the Aussies.

 

[Gunner786]

IF akhtar is fully fit, a BIG IF>

And we have ZK and Ishant, we don't really need gul, as there is no room for 3 spinner in Indian team as it has two WORLD CLASS spinners in Bhajji and Mishra

hahahaha
man thats so funny
reminds me about that time ishant kept falling over after bowling only 2 overs in aus.

 

[tauseefm]

come on yonis give it to S MAlik. powerplay is over now

 

[Lightning]

how fast was the fastest ball of akhtar today

147 ks - same as SeaGull's.

 

[Oxy]

Gul still on....need MAlik TBH

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

The Aussies should definitely look for a total of somewhere around 180. It will atleast be a defendable total.

 

[Saj]

3rd best partnership of the innings this one. Easy runs being given away here.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Gul still on....need MAlik TBH

Oxy, you really saw MIG in the crowd ?

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

this pitch is easy to bat on with the faster bowlers.

Afridis 130ks leg spinners were anomalous.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Ive just seen MIG in the crowd.

Put your shirt back on!!!

150-9 off 36 overs

When is MIG gonna streak with the "Hello PP" poster?

 

[OZGOD]

Yay we cracked 150! Need another 25 for the next milestone. Keep Akhtar on!!

 

[Oxy]

Pulled for 4

Gul & Akhtar just being wasted here.

Its YK's 1st mistake of the day persisting with them

155-9

 

[UP]

They are pasting fast bowlers

 

[shabbu1]

Another 4 off Gul. Argh!

 

[Lightning]

IF akhtar is fully fit, a BIG IF>

And we have ZK and Ishant, we don't really need gul, as there is no room for 3 spinner in Indian team as it has two WORLD CLASS spinners in Bhajji and Mishra

You mean 4 spinners right? Zak would be disappointed to miss out!

 

[Zaad]

who is showing it on Dishnetwork?

 

[OZGOD]

Comeon Hopeless, throw the bat around son.

 

[Oxy]

Great take by Akmal - saves 4 runs

TIME FOR MALIK

 

[UP]

Terrific stop by Akmal! Well Done!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Gul a spinner now thats funny coming from an indian.did you see afridi bowling 130k with a spinners run up think you should hire him as your bowling coach as he is quicker then parsad.
