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

[Ghoshtbuster]

Malik giving it away now

 

[Fallen King]

It was not the NO BALL

Another 4. That's not helping

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This over by Malik is going for a bit too many here now

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Symonds hit another FOUR. This is not looking good...

 

[Inswinger]

Malik getting hammered.

 

[Lethal]

4 to Symonds. A bit harsh from the umpire but can understand why he gave it.

Another 4 to Symonds. Malik needs to come off. Can't give too many runs away.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Unfortunately this seems like as it's slipping away from our hands!

 

[Da Best]

Bring on Shezad?

 

[Inswinger]

Good come back by Malik

 

[Inswinger]

Bring on Shezad?

No. Not at this stage. One over of 12+ here and the momentum shifts.
Bring on Gul for an over.

 

[Fallen King]

Saeed Ajmal has five overs left. Use him now. Now is the time

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

If we had Tanvir, I am sure he would have been bowling at this point...

 

[Da Best]

I say bring on Ajmal for an over or two.

 

[Sparhawk]

Need an inspirational spell from some one

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Ajmal is bowling again...really good first ball.

 

[Lethal]

Good delivery by Ajmal.

5 wides, poor ball.

 

[Inswinger]

What a delivery by Ajmal. He has Clarke confused.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wide and 4 runs! 5 runs given away....

 

[Fallen King]

If Younus didn't want to use Rao, then why played Rao in the team in first place. I don't get it.

 

[Da Best]

Good move from YK!

 

[Inswinger]

Excellent ball followed up by a poor one.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

We need Ajmal and Afridi for the tailenders if some wickets fell, because the tailenders had no clue against them last time.

 

[Inswinger]

We need Ajmal and Afridi for the tailenders if some wickets fell, because the tailenders had no clue against them last time.

Well we have to get to the tailenders first!!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Symonds hits a SIX.

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Need wickets boys.

 

[Lethal]

If Younus didn't want to use Rao, then why played Rao in the team in first place. I don't get it.

It's baffling. He has played two games and bowled only six overs.

6 from Symonds. Last over and the current one have been expensive.

 

[spectator]

pitch will become easy now.. due has arrived.

 

[Inswinger]

Damn.
Match slipping away. Need a freakin wicket here, ASAP.

 

[Fallen King]

That was the nice SIX. The game is over now i guess

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Well we have to get to the tailenders first!!

I agree, this is not looking to promising unless a sudden collapse happens...

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

we just had 2 bad overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I guess its curtains unless a flurry of wickets start falling

 

[Da Best]

Just keep faith you guys!!!

 

[Inswinger]

Dew affecting the bowlers now. Hard to get a grip on it.

 

[Lethal]

One has to question Rao's selection in the team

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

If Rao is not going to bowl, then I don't understand why wasn't Tanvir brought in his place.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rao back on to have a go

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

It's good seeing Symonds contributing. I wish he once again regains a permanent spot in his team.

 

[TaZ]

last 2 overs gone for 24 runs

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Rao in to bowl...let's hope he bowls well.

 

[Lethal]

Rao is on. Let's see what he can do.

 

[Da Best]

I hope Rao does well !!

 

[Somali Pirate]

pakistan needs just a couple of wickets

 

[spectator]

ball is coming to the bat nicely now.. surely surely pakistan need 3 wkts here

 

[Lethal]

First ball pulled by Symonds. Good fielding by Shazad.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Is there a Jew on the pitch?

 

[Lethal]

Game drifting away. Symonds has played a good innings.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

These two have added 50 runs in 10 overs, at a RR of 5.00.

 

[Da Best]

Is there a Jew on the pitch?

What????

 

[Sparhawk]

Rao is bowling well but not looking very threatening.

 

[Lethal]

Decent bowling by Rao but Pakistan needs wickets.

 

[OZGOD]

Hopefully spending time out in the middle will get Symmo back into some type of form

 

[Da Best]

I've just joined the '' need a wicket '' club as well!!!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Good over by Rao, but we need quick wickets here to have a chance.

 

[Lethal]

Some hesitation and the throw at the wrong end

 

[Da Best]

C'mon you guys.

 

[Lethal]

Symonds seem to be comfortable against Ajmal. He is picking him from the hand. Another 4

6 off the over so far.

 

[Fallen King]

full toss? Don't be afraid Yaar!

COME ON

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Ajmal is struggling here...6 runs from 3 balls already...

 

[12thMan]

Current partnership 53 runs, 11.0 overs, RR: 4.81 (Symonds 37, Clarke 8)
Aus 146-3 after 32.2 overs - need 62 more @ 3.5

 

[Zaad]

Australia require another 58 runs with 7 wickets and 17.3 overs remaining
game over

 

[UP]

It seems this match is over now for Pakistan

 

[OZGOD]

Starting to milk Ajmal now

 

[<< Rashid >>]

lmao of Boycott's comments on Ramiz's use of long words outside his normal vocabulary.....finally....

 

[Inswinger]

Is there a Jew on the pitch?

LMFAO
)

 

[godzilla]

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

heres tanvirs last two intl one day performances:

Sohail Tanvir 7 0 50 1 7.14 (3nb, 1w)
Sohail Tanvir c Dilshan b Muralitharan 1 3 2 0 0 50.00

and

Sohail Tanvir 5 0 35 0 7.00 (1nb, 2w)
dnb

you cant vblame the selectors for this. we just have a tonne of mediocre talent, theres no telling who is going to fire on which particular day.

 

[Lethal]

lmao of Boycott's comments on Ramiz's use of long words outside his normal vocabulary.....finally....

Went back to school did you. ) ) )

 

[Amir]

Starting to milk Ajmal now

Turned up just in time.... How convenient!

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Easy victory for the Aussies, I reacon.

 

[Shahid A]

game over

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

After this over, there will be a ball change....let's hope Umar Gul can bowl some good death overs...

 

[Fallen King]

heres tanvirs last two intl one day performances:

Sohail Tanvir 7 0 50 1 7.14 (3nb, 1w)
Sohail Tanvir c Dilshan b Muralitharan 1 3 2 0 0 50.00

and

Sohail Tanvir 5 0 35 0 7.00 (1nb, 2w)
dnb

you cant vblame the selectors for this. we just have a tonne of mediocre talent, theres no telling who is going to fire on which particular day.

I could have used the same example of Shoaib Akhtar especially against Sri Lanka. Still he was selected. Last time Pakistan toured in Abu Dhabi, Sohail Tanveer has proven valuable with the new ball. And he is only bowler who use the new ball very well. Sometimes, bowler can have bad day. Who hasn't? You can't just ignore him like that. He has made comeback in the domestic and he is on fire. With the pitch like this, Sohail Tanveer would have had benefit to dominate Australia batsmen.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So its going to be 1-1 then

 

[Da Best]

Just keep faith you guys they need 54 of 16.1 overs.

 

[Shahid A]

no point in my opinion game over

 

[Fallen King]

It's too late now. Pakistan should learn from this game and take this to the positive step in the next game.

 

[Da Best]

Gul's back.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi doing his war dance. Will be on soon.

 

[12thMan]

Gul's back.

great move by Pakistani Malik

 

[UP]

Edge and four...
