pathetic field set. I can't believe some school level captaincy going on. giving easy single there.
 
I am 10000% sure if MSD was captaining and this was India, India would win this game.
 
Look at Maxwell there. A SR of almost 100, and he is doing this with singles and doubles. Only 8 boundaries and 1 Dlf maximum so far. Almost 50% of runs have come in singles and doubles.

Akmal and Misbah need to watch this.

You can't really compare them to Maxwell, he has such a range of shots, his reverse sweeps and that power. He can easily unsettle rhythm of any spinner. He is much like kevin pietersen, huge range of shots. It just he didn't had temperament of playing a real quality innings and people assumed him as a mere slogger which he is not. Perhaps after this innings people people will treat him as a real quality batsman and not million dollar slogger. Oh he just got out. I jinxed him :facepalm:
 
And this is an Australian team without
Callum Ferguson
Cameron White
Shane Watson
Michael Clarke
Mitchell Starc
Clint McKay
Ryan Harris
Craig Cummings
Shaun Marsh
Mitchell Marsh

If Maxwell stopped getting out with imbecilic shots on the occasions he batter maturely his reputation would improve
 
Looks like I'm right AGAIN!!! good to see the overrated Pakistan team EXPOSED without their 'magician'.
 
Unless and untill Ahmed & Umar like talent is in our team, we cant win games.
 
Woow!!

Came back from lunch. Aus lost 2 more wickets.

Imagine of Pak scored 250. They could have easily won this.
 
Probably because running for ones and twos requires effort. It's hot out there isn't it? And Misbah isn't getting any younger.

Should probably retire then. He can't get cool breeze and short boundaires every match.
 
This is just the kind of situation where god, now 15-20 years ago, Wasim & Waqar would suddenly rip through a line up with reverse swing. Just when it would look like that the game was over.

I feel old.

Nowadays we have to turn (with no disrespect), to the likes of Zulfiqar Babar & Raza Hasan.....

Then again, the Aussie batting line up would have the likes of Bevan and Waugh in it...

Those were the days...

MSD never gets to defend poor totals.

Usually he has to defend 300 Runs totals and more than his captaincy, the weight of the score board chokes the opponents.
 
Its over.

We lost the match by Afridi 2 (9) , Umar 5 (9). Umar dropping Maxwell on 2 runs.
 
How many did Afridi pick tonight? Senior most bowler

Anyone? So quick to put down someone like Raza just after one match, In fact the opposition specifically chose to target Raza as they thought he was the biggest threat. But for some reason youngsters are crucified whereas seniors are given free pass - but what do you expect from him, he is a match-winner on his day, yada, yada

This was a combined team effort loss. Only Sarfraz and Shehzad did a good job. The rest were awful.
 
30 more runs and Pak could have won this.

And 30 more runs was not that big a deal to score.

Pak botched it up big time.

I feel the OZ played within themselves though. They really didn't have to take many risks today.
