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

[Ghoshtbuster]

Butt gone

what an idiot. Wasted so many deliveries, put pressure on the rest of the top order.

 

[Serendipity]

what a tame dismissal, wasteful

 

[HuZi]

Butt gone playing a oinside out shot and he got out the commentator was saying he should do that and he tries to do it and then OUT!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Snailman Butt gone!

122/5

 

[saeed-sohail]

butt throws it away now great.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

200 is not going to be the target either....by the looks of things!

180 at most is it...?!

 

[Da Best]

To big hitters out there now.

 

[pak4life]

pathetic

 

[Amjid Javed]

Butts inning was a joke!

Pakistan down to last recognised batsmen in Akmal now...

Pakistan in deep ****!

 

[Amjid Javed]

I can see pakistan been bowled out before 50 overs here!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs by AFRIDI!

16 off 16 balls for him!!!

 

[HuZi]

4444444444444 from afridi

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hauritz has taken 3 wickets!

 

[dani2k]

Afridi playing with some maturity here!

God...Afridi and maturity in the same sentence! Must be a miracle

 

[Amjid Javed]

Four! For boom boom!

127/5 now!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Butt tried to play this shot all afternoon and at last he had some success.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akmal beaten by a 136.5 ball by Laughlin

 

[Sparhawk]

God...Afridi and maturity in the same sentence! Must be a miracle

Even more miraculous.. the source of the sentence was Amjid Javed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Afridi on strike now

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

To big hitters out there now.

last time they hit big was?


this team has a serious issue of balance.....you can't have only 5 batsmen in an ODI team anymore....esp when two of those are shoaib and misbah....

 

[Sparhawk]

220 should be competitive on this pitch, but our first target should be 190-200 for now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

An opportunity missed by Afridi - A little too early! Would have gone for a 4 otherwise

 

[HuZi]

good slower one from laughlin

 

[insaftak]

last time they hit big was?


this team has a serious issue of balance.....you can't have only 5 batsmen in an ODI team anymore....esp when two of those are shoaib and misbah....

remember jerome taylor in abu dhabi last over

 

[Imran_m]

why arent they taking the Powerplay now?

I guess they are saving it for Gul and Rao

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

why arent they taking the Powerplay now?

I guess they are saving it for Gul and Rao

that will too smart for us to do...

 

[saeed-sohail]

Well pak dont deserve a good total here for their poor approach in this game.It started with the selection of rao and an unfit akhter compounded by a great innings from butt.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 129/5 after 35

Akmal and afridi need to stay till 50th over here!

 

[HuZi]

just wait till akmal gets in the act and then they should take it

 

[Da Best]

The next 15 overs are gonna be crucial.

 

[Sparhawk]

Afridi takes a single down to 3rd man

 

[saeed-sohail]

need to take PP now

 

[bluffmasterv2]

sigh hello powerplayy plss

 

[Sparhawk]

need to take PP now

Id take it around the 40 over mark.. afridi is playing a little sensibly i think he can survive until then.

 

[HuZi]

afridi ducking for a bouncer from bollinger bowled at 130 or someting

 

[insaftak]

edge and 4...afridiesque shot from akmal

 

[saeed-sohail]

The next 15 overs are gonna be crucial.

Now thats quote of the year.

 

[HuZi]

444444444 from akmal

 

[Bouncer]

Maybe they need to wait another over or two to give kamran chance to get his eye in and then take PP

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Akmal finding the gaps, hopefully Butt is watching.

 

[saeed-sohail]

akmal should try to bat through now.

 

[Sparhawk]

Powered down the ground by Afridi... should have been 2

 

[the Great Khan]

They should wait till the 40 th to take the pp..then go hell for leather!!

 

[Sparhawk]

Good pace from Bollinger.. almost 140 kph

 

[Da Best]

Now thats quote of the year.

thank you !

 

[Amir]

For once I am quite impressed of Afridi!

 

[Imran_m]

Take the powerplay before someone gets out Please!!!!!

 

[Sparhawk]

Another single to Afridi... it is surreal.

 

[HuZi]

these batsman unerstand each other thats one gud thing

 

[insaftak]

thank you !

i don't think you get it, or u just playing along

 

[Sparhawk]

Magnificent cover drive by Akmal... aussies are bowling the wrong length to both of them

 

[HuZi]

44444444444444444 akmal

 

[Zaad]

afridi got 15 overs to go crazyy

 

[insaftak]

what a shot!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sparhawk]

afridi got 15 overs to go crazyy

) )

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal looks in good touch here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Did Afridi have a brain Transplanted into his head before this series?

 

[karachiite]

akmals timing it well

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 146/5 after 38 overs...

 

[Sparhawk]

Steady going.. just 2 more overs and then power play.

Although i think YK might not use the PP until 45th over

 

[Gunner786]

younis taking big risk by delaying powerplay.

what if afridi gets out?

 

[BAADSHAH]

need to get to 200 with a few overs and wickets left to post a decent score

 

[insaftak]

afridi playing sensibly most of the time today, he goes crazy every now and then but overall good solid cricket from him today

 

[Zaad]

afridi said he will really try to concentrate on his batting in this series on

score on geo

because he wants to prove all those x cricketers wrong

 

[karachiite]

why are they nt taking the powerplay?

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Remember, Afridi spent an hour in the nets before the series.

 

[Sparhawk]

148-5 building up to a decent total now

 

[insaftak]

Remember, Afridi spent an hour in the nets before the series.

lol an hour

 

[HuZi]

sharp single taken

 

[karachiite]

they are not ne more likely to score extra runs by delaying the powerplay

 

[PAKISTANI_TIGERS]

Afridi

Very Slow Cricket

 

[Gunner786]

time for powerplay

afridi getting restless

 

[Imran_m]

This must be the lowest score Afridi has ever got facing 25+ balls in all his ODI career.

 

[HuZi]

148-5 after 39 overs they need to boooooooooost here

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

dont take powerplay just now, my stream broke.

 

[Sparhawk]

Alright i think hes had enough of the nudging around.. time to take the power play and allow afridi to go berserk. We still have Akmal there and 4 tailenders who can hang around.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Akmal saying to afridi go for it and he does and misses it.

 

[insaftak]

Very Slow Cricket

we call it sensible cricket u call it slow cricket

 

[Gunner786]

here it is
still i dont think they will get to 200

 

[karachiite]

finally! They take it!
