Pakistan v Australia | 2nd T20 | Edgbaston | 6/07/10 | Aus Innings

[Momo]

So the target for Australia is 163.

Kya hoga? 2-0 to Pakistan or 1-1?

 

[Poison]

That was a weird innings, Pakistan had little momentum after the 10th over stage but kept getting 8-10 runs an over

 

[UP]

Aus need 163 to win.

C'mon Pakistan!

 

[pakbl10]

2-0

We should be able to defend it.

 

[don1990]

looks like comperative target....

 

[d0gers]

So the target for Australia is 163.

Kya hoga? 2-0 to Pakistan or 1-1?

Aus 145 all out. No need to read/watch any more.

 

[don1990]

pakistan should bowl sensibilly

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

aamer's two sixes are priceless

 

[Afridi_Fan]

It is a competitive score. There will be fight.

 

[d0gers]

It is a competitive score. There will be blood.

Fixed.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

pakistan should bowl sensibilly

And how we do that?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Fixed.

Agreed.

 

[MIG]

No demons in the pitch - water tight fielding and no dropped catches will do the job - ofcourse Gul and his yorkers.

 

[The Godfather]

how long is the innings break.

 

[Ismailtoca]

And how we do that?

Do not let Akhtar bowl

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Give Akhtar 1 over and if he goes for 6 fours in it then it should be last of him we see!

 

[hashbb]

we are about 15 run's short again

 

[mastermind_quad]

Already a thread ....!!!!

 

[Strike!]

Cmon Pakistan, Bowl em out in 15 overs so we can catch the football semi final!

 

[COMEBACKID]

thats what i was thinking were abit short but hey if our bowlers pull together ans shoiab comes alive today we will topple them there opening isnt that strong no watson so we got good chance come on PAKISTAN THE PRIDE AND GLORY DEPENDS ON YOU

 

[Atif]

Need Akhtar to bowl with line and length, not like yesterday.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Do not let Akhtar bowl

Actually thats a better idea!

 

[Rizwan25]

Make or break situation for Akhtar

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Aus will come harder at pakistan today in the first 6 overs. Clark mentioned this yesterday b/c later onwards it is hard to get ajmal, afridi & gul away.

Their game plan will be to force afridi to bring in these 3 earlier than before. Hence Akhtar, Aamer & Razzaq have to bowl well in the first 6 overs.

 

[slix10]

Need some beauties from Gul and Aamer

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The boys are out there!

 

[hashmist]

Why is Lala hell bent on carrying dead weight like Akhtar, Razzler etc? Why not choose people based on merit? I expected a lot more from him. He needs to base team selection on the team's best interests not his personal loyalties.

 

[Atif]

The players are out, come on Pakistan win this Series

 

[Momo]

We will be obliged if Shoaib Akhtar concedes less than three boundaries in each over.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Clarke opening with Warner

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akhtar opening the bowling today

 

[ads101]

thats what i was thinking were abit short but hey if our bowlers pull together ans shoiab comes alive today we will topple them there opening isnt that strong no watson so we got good chance come on PAKISTAN THE PRIDE AND GLORY DEPENDS ON YOU

well watson didn't fire last match either. If watson had fired, I doubt we would have won really.


Not enough runs I think. Bowlers will have to bowl well to win.

 

[Friend786]

who should open the bowling ? akhtar or razzaq?

 

[Friend786]

akhtar ....................

 

[Momo]

You raise an interesting question but Akhtar is the last person Afridi has a loyalty to (and vice versa).

 

[Afridi_Fan]

to start

 

[Atif]

Akhtar to Warner, Let the battle begin

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akhtar against Warner

Lets see who gets the better of who today!

 

[pakbl10]

I hope Shoaib Akhtar does well!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Coming round the wicket

 

[UP]

C'mon Akhtar!

Get him for a Duck.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

89.4 mph 1st ball

 

[Atif]

single take off this first ball by Warner, Clarke to face Akhtar

 

[Friend786]

better start

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Better start

No four.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 run taken

 

[Fallen King]

Clark is now to bat. Shoaib Akhtar should be okay for a while.

 

[Desi]

decent first ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akhtar's facial expressions are class!

 

[Khabri420]

Akhtar will get his revenge today...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

 

[saj001]

[Atif]

Up and over for by Clarke

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What a shot. Pup.

 

[Friend786]

4 for clarke

 

[Fallen King]

He was supposed to pitch it inside the line. Clark can't hit.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Clarke lifts it over the keeper - used the pace of the ball, good shot

 

[pakbl10]

damn...

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Clarke hit a four!

 

[Khabri420]

Giving Warner the glare...

The scorecard will read : Warner Retired Hurt

[Friend786]

4 more

 

[Atif]

Poor fielding from Pakistan, should have stopped the ball

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

another

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Looks like Afridi has lost the plot here by opening the bowling with Akhtar when Aamer consistently bowls excellent first over.

 

[saj001]

four more

 

[chui_kadoo]

pathetic bowling. This is getting silly now. Enough is enough

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Top shot.
