Pakistan v Australia | 1st ODI | October 7, 2014 | Sharjah | Australia Innings

[tauseef_mahmood]

yeah yeah hurray ........ bingo. oh i am loving it.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Irfan you beauty first ball

thank you buddy.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Jabo]

Gone

But Aus only need 120 and they'll still beat Pak

Smith/Haddin/Bailey shouldn't do too much

 

[Barragan]

Nice to see Irfan pick up a wicket and all, but I want the Aussie to post a 300+ score.

 

[Convict]

lol Finch

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

balle balle ..... shawa shawa.

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon bowlers. we need some effort here.

 

[Zeshan547]

Pak do need such lucky wickets today if they are to win even after this pathetic team selection, but in long run it will only be worse for pak.

 

[MRSN]

He won't be bowling 10, JK has been going for plenty in his overs as well. In this case, at least you get a bowler with decent batting ability instead of an out and out tailender.

You are completely misreading Anwar. He's no better than Sohail Tanvir with the bat. Time will prove that.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Nice to see Irfan pick up a wicket and all, but I want the Aussie to post a 300+ score.

Insha' Allah it will not happen.

 

[razabbas]

Royal duck

 

[anuk]

bazid khan sounds awful

 

[ammar93]

I didn't know there was something like 'royal duck'. Never heard that term before.

 

[Sam18696]

Smith is struggling

 

[Aman]

You are completely misreading Anwar. He's no better than Sohail Tanvir with the bat. Time will prove that.

I'm not, from the squad you have, you have to play him and hope he can score 20-30 runs.

 

[razabbas]

maiden over

 

[saiyan0312]

wicket maiden here.

 

[Barragan]

Sarfraz was brought in for Maqsood going by what a few Misbahites. But we'll have to see who happens to see if that's the case, I expect Sarfraz to open with Shafiq to come in at 3. Which will indicate Maqsood was dropped for Shafiq.

I'm pretty certain, it is shafiq because Akmal said he doesn't want to keep anymore, so it was between Maqsood or shafiq.

 

[Aman]

Aus need to see off Irfan's first spell and then look to go after him in his latter spells.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Oh he has not scored a fifty in odi yet but we are in habit of making stars out of average batsman.

 

[Lords]

Good first over. Welcome back Irfan

 

[Sam18696]

Runs leaking time

 

[razabbas]

Shabash shehzad

 

[Red Devil]

Cheetah

 

[steelo green]

Shehzad and Fawad are world class fielders.

 

[saiyan0312]

Awesome fielding by shizzy.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

warner is key here!

 

[Barragan]

With Akmal in the outfield, our fiedling is looking great with him, Shezhad, Fawad and Anwar.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

was it a really good catch?

 

[Zeshan547]

Wahab at his best,

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab the spray gun.. such a poor bowler.

 

[saiyan0312]

bad ball there. very bad.

 

[razabbas]

umar akmal , ahmed shehzad , fawad alam , anwar ali - Feilding looks good

 

[Red Devil]

Wahab is no good with the new ball

 

[steelo green]

Wahab needs to stop throwing the odd awful ball.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Four ..........

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

he usually bounces back well.

 

[Arsal_AK]

And Pakistan will pay the price for it.

Honestly speaking, I looked at the bowling lineup and I can't say with conviction whether this lineup is even good.

Irfan (who goes off steam after his first spell)
Wahab
Zulfi
Afridi (you never know what he will come up with)
Anwar (if he bowls 10 overs, min 70-80 runs guaranteed)

Is this bowling lineup even better than India's one?

No its not. As much as it pains me to say that.

 

[Aman]

That's gone like a tracer bullet

 

[saiyan0312]

wasim akram has dismissed batsmen on first ball of the match 4 times. irfan has done it twice now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab the perfect waste of new ball.

 

[Yatoo]

I was looking forward to Anwar Ali sharing the new ball.

 

[ritzy_123]

Give Anwar Ali the new ball than Wahab

Sent from my GT-I9105

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

warner vs irfan ........ that will be interesting.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Give Anwar Ali the new ball than Wahab

Sent from my GT-I9105

oh no ... no no

 

[razabbas]

No seldging todat

 

[razabbas]

2 maiden for irfan

 

[ammar93]

Two maidens in a row by Irfan!

 

[saiyan0312]

another maiden. awesome irfan

 

[Zeshan547]

Amazing, not the sort of start we all were expecting by Pak, i mean it's good start for pak.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

thats good ... but it means they will go after wahab

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Super over from Irfan

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

or worse anwar ali ....

 

[ritzy_123]

oh no ... no no

We should try different things. We should focus on WC rather than winning this match

Sent from my GT-I9105

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab cant help biwling 4 balls.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

four ....

 

[steelo green]

Wahab throwing garbage.

 

[Zeshan547]

Typical one awful ball in the over by wahab, which ruin his otherwise good five balls, this guy has skill but can't use brain for a complete over.

 

[Shafi]

Warner is a complete batsman!!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

needs to focus .... he can bowl good line and length

 

[zains_rulez]

Wahab not a good bowler...
Should have played Junaid

 

[ritzy_123]

Typical one awful ball in the over by wahab, which ruin his otherwise good five balls, this guy has skill but can't use brain for a complete over.

Yes I agree

[JibranAnsari]

Maqsood won us our last odi and is out of team. Misbah ka pakistan.

 

[ritzy_123]

Wooh 4 from Smith

Sent from my GT-I9105

 

[Shafi]

Another 4!!!

 

[Barragan]

Nice to see Bazid back in the commentary box.

He may sound very dull, but at least he understands a lot about the Pakistani players and the domestic circuit.

 

[dhump]

I am just amazed at the team selection. I always supported Misbah but seriously this is beyond pathetic, this seniority selection criteria must go from Pakistan cricket.

 

[Shafi]

Good to see Waqar drop Maqsood & Junaid. It will teach them to come back strongly.

 

[zains_rulez]

I would never select wahab , he is a hack !!

 

[Shafi]

Bazid's commentary is making me fall in sleep!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Maqsood won us our last odi..this is his reward.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Anwar with his pace will get murdered on this track

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

it is still a good start for Pakistan

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

another wicket especially warner will do so good

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Bazid's commentary is making me fall in sleep!!

But its way more insightful than Ramiz's

 

[razabbas]

Wondering who will bowl in middle :-|

 

[zains_rulez]

Ajmal ho tum kahan :

 

[steelo green]

David Warner Shehzad.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab is terrible
