Pakistan v Australia | 3rd ODI | Abu Dhabi | 27/04/09 | Pak Inngs

[Oxy]

137-5 off 34 overs

 

[IAJ]

How old is the ball they use after 34 overs?

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Should Pakistan take the Powerplay?

 

[Oxy]

Symmonds takes out Malik!

 

[MIG]

Symonds doing his WWE impersonation - bloody bully.

 

[IAJ]

Red card to symonds! takcle from behind

 

[Lethal]

Rugby tackle.

 

[sohaibsyed]

sydmonds has no sportsmanship.....if u take someone down the least u can do is offer to pick them up

 

[Deewana Mastana]

David Hussey cracking a joke then with Symmo and the rest!

 

[Inswinger]

Symmo is what Bhaji called him...........

 

[hashman]

take the powerplay now, with the fresher ball

 

[Lethal]

No apology. Malik looked issed:

Hussey came and gave Malik a hand.

 

[Big Daddy]

damn malik is a little girl, that was one fruity cry. oxy now there is 2 of u

 

[sohaibsyed]

yeah like the least he could do is offer to pick him up

 

[IMMY69]

is just me or does the aussie team appear to be a bunch stupid thugs who think the others are beneath them???

 

[UP]

Bracken in

 

[Lethal]

is just me or does the aussie team appear to be a bunch stupid thugs who think the others are beneath them???

It's not you. I tell you what though Pakistani players are just too nice. Imagine if that was Akhtar who got tackled by symonds, you'd see a fight or if it was Harbhajan then Harbhajan would slap Symonds.

 

[Saj]

Nerve racking stuff this.

Fear not though we'll be ok !

 

[Lethal]

Easy single missed by Malik.

 

[cricketkashmir]

akmal out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akmal gone! GREAT!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Akmal out.

 

[MIG]

Best thing to do here is to win the match and then Symo to go and fly kites

Akmal Goes - out 141/6

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Out

 

[Sparhawk]

Gone!!!! Akmal gives away his wicket... i really thought this partnership would see us through but now we're in trouble

 

[UP]

As always we cannot chase without performing stage drama.

 

[cricketkashmir]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[sohaibsyed]

here we go....in trouble

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Akmal goes - another soft dismissal

 

[Lethal]

Akmal out. Poor shot. Malik should not have declined the single. Anyway this middle order is crap.

 

[Inswinger]

Now we are in trouble...

 

[IMMY69]

It's not you. I tell you what though Pakistani players are just too nice. Imagine if that was Akhtar who got tackled by symonds, you'd see a fight or if it was Harbhajan then Harbhajan would slap Symonds.

i think you're right, like any playground bullies they only act BIG in front of the little guys...

 

[Waseem]

Akmal repeats his stupid shot again, got out exactly the same way in last game too.

 

[Serendipity]

stop talking about cruise from here, we are teaching the world how to self destruct here

 

[Salman]

All down to Yasir now, he's no mug with the bat as far as i can remember.

 

[Lightning]

This is the worst display of batting ever. What are they thinking!!? Are they even thinking!!?

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

They have missed a trick by not taking the powerplay at the time Afridi was there. They still had Akmal to come, Gul, Arafat, and Tanvir. Now, if they don't be careful, it will be too late. They need to take the powerplay NOW.

 

[cricketkashmir]

Its looking difficult

 

[Lethal]

I want to see that tackle again.

 

[pak4life]

these last few games have shown pak cricket is being left behind in world cricket. Apart from a few individual performances it has been amateur stuff.

 

[sohaibsyed]

It's not you. I tell you what though Pakistani players are just too nice. Imagine if that was Akhtar who got tackled by symonds, you'd see a fight or if it was Harbhajan then Harbhajan would slap Symonds.

I gotta agree....like people dont have nice things to say when stuff happens.....if a pakistani ever did that they would offer an appology....well now hes gotta go on and try to win it

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

This could be all over for Pakistan as Akmal goes.

 

[hashman]

**** yaar, now akmal departs, when am i gonna go bloody sleep, its almost 4am.

 

[sohaibsyed]

malik is the key

 

[masterblaster]

had the single been taken ...this wouldnt have happened...lol

 

[<< Rashid >>]

I think it's time to take the powerplay.

 

[IMMY69]

shambolic...

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

I think the boys have forgot how some fans can react when players dont give their 100%.. if we dont win i think they might need a little reminder back home !

 

[UP]

Devastating stuff.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

This is the worst display of batting ever. What are they thinking!!? Are they even thinking!!?

no they not they just laughing... they really dont give a crap !

 

[MIG]

Pass to sub hojatay hain , fail honay mi mehnat hotee hai!!! The story of Pakistani run chases after departure of Inzi

 

[Lightning]

Poweplay. NOW.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Maliks the man, he's done it before but just doesn't look fluent. I hope he proves me wrong.

Pakistan clearly have a mental issue when chasing against Australia, I don't see them winning this now.

 

[Lightning]

Malik aka Cheeta still there. Hope remains.

 

[MIG]

Pakistan being given an abject lesson in how not to give up till the last ball is bowled

 

[Oxy]

Aussies cranking up the intensity - just listen to them each ball. Guiding their fielders allong - using codes for certain drills / practices etc

 

[Lethal]

Malik seems to have been affected by that tackle from Symonds.

 

[feather]

When are they planning on taking the power play when Malik also goes? They should take it now so they can some adventage of it atleast.

 

[Lightning]

Maliks the man, he's done it before but just doesn't look fluent. I hope he proves me wrong.

This is very true.

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol yea its pretty bad

 

[Saj]

We'll still win this game guys.

oh and btw cut out the filthy language some of you - no need for it !

 

[McBoom]

We need Moyo.

 

[the SHA]

Pak have needed between 3-4 runs per over. What an Earth are they doing throwing their wickets away with wreckless shots?

Given its a slow pitch that requires a bit of patience, but this is one of the all-time weakest and inexperienced Aussie bowling attacks we're talking about!

 

[Lethal]

Loose drive from Arafat.

56 runs is looking huge now.

 

[Lightning]

Malik seems to have been affected by that tackle from Symonds.

)

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

RR is 4.5 another 4 overs of crap all RR could be near enough 6...

 

[masterblaster]

younis khan's press conference would be..... "the series is still open"....but i dont think it will be open if we play like thiss!!!!!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

56 off 75 with 4 wickets standing

 

[IMMY69]

We'll still win this game guys.

oh and btw cut out the filthy language some of you - no need for it !

maybe saj, but sometimes its not the winning, its how you win it.

 

[UP]

They both need to relax and realise they have time on their side.

 

[hashman]

the req rr is climbing pretty fast now. Almost 4.5rpo

 

[Lightning]

We'll still win this game guys.

oh and btw cut out the filthy language some of you - no need for it !

You have inside info huh?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Arafat can't get the ball in the gap - 5 dot balls

 

[Saj]

I think they should take the powerplay and let Arafat go for it while Malik looks to stay there.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

The run rate is also going up...

 

[Lightning]

They both need to relax and realise they have time on their side.

Not easy when everyone around you is imploding.

 

[Saj]

maybe saj, but sometimes its not the winning, its how you win it.

give me a win off the last ball with an overthrow with the last pair ina nd I'll take it.

 

[Lightning]

I think they should take the powerplay and let Arafat go for it while Malik looks to stay there.

Arafat can't get the ball in the gap - 5 dot balls

[<< Rashid >>]

If Australia bowled good balls to get Pakistan out, then you just have to give credit to them.

But when u play reckless shots and just give the game away, there should be consequences.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

What are we bloody waiting for ? are we waiting for number 10 and 11 to come and then take the powerplay ..
