[IM NOT YOU]

well, as unbelievable as it may sound, may be the game is meant to start in 25 minutes from now... . how a game can manage to start beyond the scheduled time is beyond my comprehension... absolutely unbelievable..

tell me that ur joking. rao iftikhar ? ***??!?!! WHERE THE HELL is sohail tanvir... are we honestly playing with 7 batsman

 

[abc_to_xyz]

Same Lineup for Pakistan except Nasir Jamshed and Akthar..

For aussies, Marsh, Clark and Ben are back!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

"Brilliant bowler"

"We can do special things, and he can also do silly things"

Boycott on Afridi. class comments )

 

[Best_Bacha]

Pak batting looks weak to me. I dont consider Afridi a batter

 

[cricketkashmir]

Younis says if they can restrict australia to 250 it will be great..

 

[tauseefm]

Anjum instead of Tanvir...unbelievable.

I think they are experimenting whether AUS are able to pick ajmal or not. i would've played Tanveer insted

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Thats only 10 - I know we are bad but I wouldnt have thought the Aussies would be so kind as to only play with 10 men against us.

he forgot clarke - the captain.

 

[IAJ]

Zaheer abbas in the studio on ARY. Is it for the match or an ordinary progam?

 

[cricketkashmir]

Thats only 10 - I know we are bad but I wouldnt have thought the Aussies would be so kind as to only play with 10 men against us.

ya saj missed our gul

 

[tauseefm]

WAQAR is in the middle with D Johns... nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[cricketkashmir]

waqar:beautiful pitch.. This pitch has grass on it and bounce on it

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

omg omg omg

Waqar and Dean Jones! The two best commentators! Amazing!

 

[iZeeshan]

They're just missing Misbah.

Saeed Ajmal, Iftikhar Anjum, Salman Butt, Shoaib Akhtar, Nasir Jamshed, wicketkeeperKamran Akmal, Umar Gul, Shahid Afridi, captainYounis Khan, Shoaib Malik

 

[cricketkashmir]

a bit like australian pitch according to waqar

 

[IM NOT YOU]

Honestly, this team is a joke.

ONCE again, the selectors have dropped the ball. This is awful awful stuff.

no fawad alam, no sohail tanvir, only 7 batsman.. rao iftikhar and saeed ajmal as specialist bowlers..??

honestly, this is NOT even close to the best XI pakistan has.

i am just shaking my head in disgust.

 

[nazimcricket]

Advantage Australia batting first.

The stadium seems EMPTY.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Oh my God waqar with a beard.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So pakistan tail starts at number 6! Thats clever!

 

[Sheikh]

I hope Malik bats at 4 instead of Misbah. I'm guessing Gul and Akhtar to open the attack?

 

[cricketkashmir]

its a flat pitch..no wind according to boycot..very hot.both sides will be weary..Boycot: ill never be sure about shoaibs fitness.he can be very expensive but a match winner

 

[tauseefm]

Honestly, this team is a joke.

ONCE again, the selectors have dropped the ball. This is awful awful stuff.

no fawad alam, no sohail tanvir, only 7 batsman.. rao iftikhar and saeed ajmal as specialist bowlers..??

honestly, this is NOT even close to the best XI pakistan has.

i am just shaking my head in disgust.

Are you complaining or saying too many batsman?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Honestly, this team is a joke.

ONCE again, the selectors have dropped the ball. This is awful awful stuff.

no fawad alam, no sohail tanvir, only 7 batsman.. rao iftikhar and saeed ajmal as specialist bowlers..??

honestly, this is NOT even close to the best XI pakistan has.

i am just shaking my head in disgust.

I can count 5 batsmen!

Ajmal has played 5 odis give the guy a chance!

 

[On_the_up]

Switch to ARY News dude!

isn't ARY news free?

 

[cricketkashmir]

Waqar and wasim were greats not shoaib

 

[cricketkashmir]

Boycot: Shoaib is letting his supporters down.

 

[Sheikh]

well, as unbelievable as it may sound, may be the game is meant to start in 25 minutes from now... . how a game can manage to start beyond the scheduled time is beyond my comprehension... absolutely unbelievable..

Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous. I don't think I've seen anything like it before.'

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies teams seems pretty balanced:-

Australia: Michael Clarke (capt), Brad Haddin (wk), Shaun Marsh, Andrew Symonds, Callum Ferguson, Shane Watson, James Hopes, Nathan Hauritz, Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark, Ben Hilfenhaus

Surprised D Husseys been dropped! Aussies have 7 main bowlers! Unless watson just playing as a batter and pup doesnt bowl!

 

[tauseefm]

I can count 5 batsmen!

Ajmal has played 5 odis give the guy a chance!

Totally agree with you. afridi is a bowler who can bat, malik is a batsman who can bowl and Akmal is a wicket keeper batsman. so only 4 specialist batsman.

 

[Oxy]

NOOO!!

They got that bimbo from ICL!!!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

constructive criticism of Akhtar by Boycott.

 

[iZeeshan]

I am not surprised at the selection of the team one bit.

I saw this coming. Even the Rao/Tanvir switch.

 

[Oxy]

isn't ARY news free?

I just tuned in to CH 806 on Sky Digital (ARYONE WORLD)

They have 'Howzzat' on - with Zaheer Abbass

 

[cricketkashmir]

Boycot praises wasim n waqar

 

[IAJ]

Dean Jones and the Mianty girl from ICL. Don`t think BCCI will like this lol

 

[dani2k]

No Sohail Tanveer? I can't see why?!

Is ROA a better bowler? I thought Tanveer is close to unplayable and Pak might have missed a trick here. The aussies haven't faced him for quite some time (except for a few in last years IPL) and hence might have found him difficult to negotiate...

 

[tauseefm]

did you guyz notice something? there are most of the commentators from ICL even the girl showing around Dubai. Modi must but pissing in his pants right now..lol )

 

[Oxy]

Australia: Michael Clarke (capt), Brad Haddin (wk), Shaun Marsh, Andrew Symonds, Callum Ferguson, Shane Watson, James Hopes, Nathan Hauritz, Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark, Ben Hilfenhaus

Pakistan: Salman Butt, Nasir Jamshed, Younis Khan (capt), Misbah-ul-Haq, Shoaib MAlik, Kamran Akmal (wk), Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul, Rao Iftikhar Anjum, Saeed Ajmal

 

[VandeMataram]

tanveer is overrrated while Rao is underrated.

Ajmal is crap, though he can prove me wrong today.

It will be a test for Akhtar today and in next 4 ODI, if he misfires and gets injured then he should leave cricket.

 

[iZeeshan]

Stupid match delayed .5 hrs. I have to go to school at 7:11.

 

[Sheikh]

Aussies teams seems pretty balanced:-

Australia: Michael Clarke (capt), Brad Haddin (wk), Shaun Marsh, Andrew Symonds, Callum Ferguson, Shane Watson, James Hopes, Nathan Hauritz, Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark, Ben Hilfenhaus

Surprised D Husseys been dropped! Aussies have 7 main bowlers! Unless watson just playing as a batter and pup doesnt bowl!

Don't think Watson will bowl. This is how they'll probably line up

Watson
Marsh
Haddin
Clarke
Ferguson
Symonds
Hopes
Hauritz
Clark
Bracken
Hilfenhaus

Hilfenhaus, Bracken, Clark, and Hauritz are the specialists, whilst Hopes, Symonds, and Clarke will make up the 5th bowler

 

[Mercenary]

Does the BCCI know that this commentary team has been infested by the ICL virus?? Dean Jones and that girl
