Pakistan v Australia | 2nd ODI | Dubai | 24/4/09 | Aus Inngs

[saeed-sohail]

I am not watching pls give me wicket fellas.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Like I said while he is pooping his pants he has scored more runs than any Pakistan batsman. Our useless spinners have made your middle order batsmen look even more foolish.

Yes those lots of runs and lots of wickets certainly helped you win the last match didnt they.

 

[UP]

that was funny

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good bowling by Ajmal 3 off the over!

102 for 3 after 25 overs!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

that was funny

The Ahmed Shahzad thingy! )

 

[UP]

fabulous running and lazy fielding.

 

[Zaad]

guys afridi and ajmal only have about 9 overs together then its all up to akhtar etc

 

[Sparhawk]

this match will go right down to wire

he is not very fat.. still overweight yes but mostly its his big frame that makes him look huge

 

[Osman]

wonder if YK will risk bowling Malik once these 2 have finished their quota ...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Some people wearing Afridi's picture as hats! Good ones tho!

 

[Fish]

Yes those lots of runs and lots of wickets certainly helped you win the last match didnt they.

One swallow does not make a summer.

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Alright. Need wickets REAL quick.

 

[spectator]

He declares himself fit!

yea i understand. he is a SENIOR player in pakistan team.

australia are not playing their natural game.. where are aggressive australians?? gilchrist is still playing better than these guys in ipl

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Also, Shehzad bowls spin too.. So whats the plan?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

We need a couple more wickets to get things a bit tight!

 

[kablooee87]

The problem: Afridi is already into his 7th over.

 

[shafkath]

i read it on cricinfo when aussies lost the 2nd wicket before i saw it on my stream. i told my brother and sister he gonna get out now because ajmal hasent bowled a doosra in the over yet and watson can't pick him. when he got out my family was amazed.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

yea i understand. he is a SENIOR player in pakistan team.

australia are not playing their natural game.. where are aggressive australians?? gilchrist is still playing better than these guys in ipl

Atleast they are currently playing better than us and RUNNING better than us!

 

[UP]

This partnership is the key of this match.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Its time for Shoaib Akhtar!

 

[TaZ]

any links??

 

[UP]

Shoaib Akhtar back into the attack!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Malik and Shezad can bowl spin, so can MYKS. OR he could resort to Akhtar and tell him to bowl yorkers as fast as he can, and have Afridi at silly point - staring and grinning at the batsman.

 

[HuZi]

bring pindi express back man

 

[Deewana Mastana]

We need some death yorkers now from the Pindi Express!!!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

We needed Sohail Tanvir here...Australians still have batting to come, we need quick wickets...

 

[Sparhawk]

australia still in front

 

[OZGOD]

26.3 Shoaib Akhtar to Clarke, no run, kept really low, bowled at 137.6 kmph, on a driving length but zipped under the bat and Akmal got behind it well
26.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Clarke, no run, short of a length, but much quicker, tried to cut that past point, missed, good bounce
Exactly 100 needed now, step by step, run by run
26.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Symonds, 1 run, slower ball bowled short of a good length outside off, an offcutter, 109.2 kmph, chopped down to third man
Shoaib Akhtar back into the attack. They're leaving the spinners for a bit later in the innings.

Akhtar's turned into a trundler!

 

[Sparhawk]

Perfect yorker from Shoaib.. clarke barely survived

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good ball the last one!!! Just misses the stumps

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Almost bowled him!

141ks was fast enough to get through clarke's defence, thats all he needs.

 

[UP]

Beautiful delivery by Shoaib Akhtar... could have easily gone back to stumps.

 

[Umta]

Shoaib needs a wicket man

 

[Sparhawk]

Akhtar's turned into a trundler!

He went up to 146.5 in his first spell

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shoaib Malik comes on to have a bowl

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Malik into the attack...

 

[UP]

Shoaib Malik into the attack.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a good reverse swing yorker by Akhtar on the last ball!

 

[asifp]

Akhtar needs one wicket, then he will roll

I mean all the new guys, in their youth and fitness cant bowl as fast as an unfit Akhtar

 

[Lethal]

Good yorker from Akhtar. Good start from Malik.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Need to get the wickets

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Runs are coming freely....

A banner says " DANCE BILLY DANCE" ) LOL

 

[Fallen King]

Well Bowled - Shoaib Malik

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik's over went for 2 runs

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

If they can also dry up the runs like they have been doing in these 2 overs with Malik and Akhtar, that will also add pressure on the batsman as getting 6 runs per over asking rate won't be easy...right now the required rate is 4.45.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

140.3 kph 1st ball by Akhtar of his 2nd spell's 2nd over

 

[Fallen King]

Pakistan is giving the tough fight. I like it. My request to Younus Khan that in next match, Sohail Tanveer better be on the team

 

[Deewana Mastana]

143.3 kph

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3rd ball at 110.2 kph slower one

 

[Deewana Mastana]

141.9 kph his 4th ball that came into Symonds

 

[Lethal]

Good bowling from Shoaib Akhtar. Well done.

 

[shafkath]

did david hussey play the last match?

 

[Da Best]

Rapped him on the pads!

 

[Sparhawk]

free hit coming up

 

[Lethal]

Oh crap he has bowled a no ball. Free hit coming up.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

No ball by Akhtar, and a FREE HIT coming up.

 

[Da Best]

did david hussey play the last match?

no.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

141.9 kph and a no ball by Akhtar - 2nd no ball in the match first one was by Gul

 

[OZGOD]

did david hussey play the last match?

Nope. He didn't make the side.

 

[Lethal]

Field spread. Akhtar steams in and bowls to Clarke. Good yorker.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Free Hit delivery bowled at 146.3 kph and it was a yorker

 

[Sparhawk]

FAST yorker from shoaib... over 146 ks

He deserves a wicket

 

[Lethal]

Top bowling from Shoaib. Only thing missing is the wicket.

 

[spectator]

shoabi bohot zor laga raha hai but its not happening. this is worst wicket in the world

 

[shafkath]

shoaib putting in some great effort, its great to see and long may it continue

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Need a wicket here boys.. come on now.

By the way, Shoaib is giving some great effort. Great great effort!

 

[Inswinger]

shoabi bohot zor laga raha hai but its not happening. this is worst wicket in the world

Have you been watching the match?
There is something in this pitch for bowlers.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

We have 21 overs left, out of that 5 is Ajmal, 4 is Gul, 3 is Afridi, so that leaves 9 overs between Akhtar, Malik and Rao to bowl. I hope Younis Khan gives Afridi, Gul, and Ajmal their full overs as they are quite effective...

 

[Somali Pirate]

shoaib continues this and he will get a wicket soon

 

[Lethal]

91 needed of 21 overs. You'd back Australia but if Pakistan pick up a couple then you never know. Come on Pakistan.

Malik to continue. Good sweep shot from Symonds.

 

[Da Best]

Drinks

 

[Inswinger]

Malik straying down leg.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

No ball by Malik and another FREE HIT coming up and Symonds is on strike.

 

[Saj]

Cut out the sneeky streaming posts being posted in this thread - you know who you are !

Boy do we need a wicket here.

 

[Inswinger]

Shi!.
Free hit to Symonds from Malik.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Symonds utilizes the free hit and hits a FOUR.

 

[Inswinger]

Tight call by umpire.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why was that called a no ball?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

His foot actually came back as soon he was delivering...

 

[spectator]

shoot this umpire... bring on another one
