[ali110]

Guys, just need one partnership of 70 runs or more and we are all set to win this match.

 

[malikvslee]

pakistan looks under perssure

 

[Waseem]

From what I am reading on cricinfo, aussie pacemen are getting much more movement that than pakistanis. Is that true?

For sure, huge difference there.
Akhtar and Gul rarely beat the bat in first 10 overs and our batsman can rarely touch the ball so far.

Younis's boundary was just a slog.
Both Aussie bowlers swinging a LOT.

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Younis is too nice too the Australians. Dont know why.

 

[OZGOD]

Having seen him befiore I dont think he has ever been fit

Seriously though, he may have hurt himself in the field.

tricky period hire for Pak before the lunch break

Lunch break? What lunch break?

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Keeper standing up to the new ball bowler ) how lame.

Thankfully Akmal is too crap to stand up to even Tanvir at 120ks.

 

[HuZi]

injury? than why is he in the side? ( nasir jamshed )

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Lunch break? What lunch break?

you were so crap, we didnt even get near the break point. We have to bat for a bit and then bat after lunch.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

From what I am reading on cricinfo, aussie pacemen are getting much more movement that than pakistanis. Is that true?

It is bound to move early in the 2nd innings under lights.

 

[Lethal]

From what I am reading on cricinfo, aussie pacemen are getting much more movement that than pakistanis. Is that true?

Yep. I never watched the start of the Pakistani bowling. But the Aussies are definetly swinging it.

I'm guessing that Akhtar and Gul are more quicker in terms of pace then Bracken or Hilfenhaus who are natural swingers of the ball. I'd say Akhtar and Gul rely less on swing.

 

[Umta]

Pakistanis need to calm down. I know its important game but they need to show some nerves here

 

[Fallen King]

From what I am reading on cricinfo, aussie pacemen are getting much more movement that than pakistanis. Is that true?

So far it's true. Except the fact that Pakistani fast bowlers have never swung and neither bowled in right line/length.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to just be nice and solid here, no daft shots and no run outs please!

 

[Indiafan]

From what I am reading on cricinfo, aussie pacemen are getting much more movement that than pakistanis. Is that true?

Ball usualyy moves a bit under light. Have to play out few overs

 

[IMMY69]

twilight period hence ball is swinging more for the aussies....

 

[Waseem]

Younis is playing away from his body.

 

[Inswinger]

injury? than why is he in the side? ( nasir jamshed )

Probably got injured while fielding. I'm not watching the match so I don't know how long he was in the field.

 

[tauseefm]

Yep. I never watched the start of the Pakistani bowling. But the Aussies are definetly swinging it.

I'm guessing that Akhtar and Gul are more quicker in terms of pace then Bracken or Hilfenhaus who are natural swingers of the ball. I'd say Akhtar and Gul rely less on swing.

i think when pakistani bowlers were bowling, sun was shining and it was really hot in the middle and now its cooling down or atleast no sun in the middle

[Waseem]

What a shot by Akmal

4 off no ball and it's a free hit

 

[UP]

Classic shot off back foot for four by Akmal and its no ball as well!!!!!!! free hittt

 

[Umta]

Great Shot by Akmal

 

[HuZi]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

KAMI! Classy shot for 4 indeed and a free hit on top of that

 

[HuZi]

another 44 akmal come on boy

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No Ball 44444444444444444444444444444444444

 

[UP]

another 4444 by Akmal on free hitttt

 

[Waseem]

Akmal hits another 4 off free hit

That's beautiful batting by Akmal

 

[HuZi]

2 in a row

 

[cricketkashmir]

2 fours in 2 balls for kammi

 

[OZGOD]

Need another wicket asap

 

[Umta]

Great shot by Akmal gain

 

[Umta]

Awesome shot

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Spanks the free hit to the boundary, less than 150 required

 

[Lethal]

Younis is too nice too the Australians. Dont know why.

He is always kind no matter who he plays. I think it was against India when he ran for a quick single and the throw came in. The ball hit Younus Khan and went towards the boundary. Younus being the good gentleman he is chased the ball towards the boundard and retrieved it.

Two boundaries for Kamran Akmal

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

2 in a row. On one knee and over cover area, beauty shot and will relax Pakistan

 

[HuZi]

finally a gud over I know the target isn't that high or something but still we shouldn't take 50 overs to make that total maximum of 30 overs should be enough

 

[Umta]

Good Over 10 runs off it

 

[Inswinger]

I can't believe I'm missing this match. I have to sneak into the library between classes to catch up on everything.

 

[Caved12]

Hello everybody!!!!
Wow Afridi, you just killed Australia. Good times are back! I know We will win this game!!! Mr Younis Khan will lead this team to victories and victories only!

 

[sehban]

21/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This might be the last or 2nd last over before lunch break.Or dinner break.

 

[Big Daddy]

i dont think there is any batter in the pakistani team who is as proficient in cover drives and cuts than akmal presently

 

[Lethal]

i think when pakistani bowlers were bowling, sun was shining and it was really hot in the middle and now its cooling down or atleast no sun in the middle

OK that explains it.

 

[Waseem]

Hopes brings some hope that we can play with more control.

 

[cricwiz]

Where are Symonds hair??? Did he get bald after getting out by Afridi

 

[Best_Bacha]

Younis Khan looked tensed out there...plz stay cool and it will be easy win.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i dont think there is any batter in the pakistani team who is as proficient in cover drives and cuts than akmal presently

Yup, only my dad's Golf GTI drives nicer than Akmal

 

[Saj]

i dont think there is any batter in the pakistani team who is as proficient in cover drives and cuts than akmal presently

spot on - hitting through the off side whether its the drive or the cut is his strength.

Cant be easy for him either having to open after keeping for 35 plus overs in the heat.

 

[Best_Bacha]

i dont think there is any batter in the pakistani team who is as proficient in cover drives and cuts than akmal presently

 

[Lethal]

Edgy boundary by Younus

 

[Afridi_Fan]

444444444444444444444444444444444444 Kuptaan Sahib

 

[Umta]

Lucky shot by YK for 4

 

[Waseem]

Last over before the break and Younis looking much more comfortable against Hopes.

No runs so far in the over 21/1

Younis cuts dangerously and gets a cheeky boundary but a stupid shot when slip was in place, just short of slip.
Why would you open the face of bat and play such a shot????

1/25 off 7 overs.

 

[Lethal]

25-1 off 7 overs.

Break/Lunch

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

cheeky younis is lucky there! Running it down to third man almost got him caught at slip

 

[Oxy]

'Lunch'

Pak 25-1 off 7 overs

144 runs required to win

 

[UP]

thats the lunch guys

 

[Best_Bacha]

Akhtar,Rao & Butt were a waste today

 

[UP]

Decent start by Pakistan. I expect a win here.

 

[161]

Seriously .. YK is like a fish out of water at #3 in ODIs.

That spot has to go to Malik.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pakistan require another 144 runs with 9 wickets and 43.0 overs remaining at the Required run rate of 3.34 after the break.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan off to a solid start, YK needs to cut out the glide shot and play through the "V"

Hopefully pakistan will win this!

 

[Lethal]

Loose Talk on ARY. Can't they show something else. Anyone know how long the break is for.

 

[Zaad]

40 mins

 

[Lethal]

40 mins

That's good. Can do my wudhu and pray my Zohar prayer.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

I have been noticing this for a while now. After Asif left, no other pakistani bowlers were able to get much movement, with the new or the old ball.

THis is why I want waqar younis as the bowling coach. He knew how to swing it at pace. Ye,s pakistani bowlers are quicker than the aussies, but to swing the ball at pace is an art, which unfortunately our bowlers seem to have lost

 

[Oxy]

Loose Talk on ARY. Can't they show something else. Anyone know how long the break is for.

Its a terrible programme - both are way past it.

But thats ARY for you!

 

[Shahid A]

So what time will they be back on uk time? 4:10pm??????

 

[Gollum]

Once again the policy of 'regular specialist' openers we so love to harp about failed. It is time to throw away the policy of two specialist openers and play one regular opener along with Afridi, Malik or Akmal depending on the situation.

 

[Lethal]

Its a terrible programme - both are way past it.

But thats ARY for you!

Yep. I can see that they kept with missing the first ball. Anyway I'm just glad they showed the matches.

Theyve missed it 5 times!!!
