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

[pak4life]

still no powerplay this is becoming embarrassing

 

[Serendipity]

pak are so shell shocked tat they have forgotten to take the power play - boycs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good fielding by the Aussies - Creating pressure dot balls!

Saying that Malik gets a single!

 

[MIG]

Calm down boys - we are about to witness a fantastic victory - inshallah

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Malik picks up a single

38 from 39 needed

 

[asifp]

still no powerplay this is becoming embarrassing

Khan saab bhool gaye hai

 

[McBoom]

wow - lets have a go at the guy that hasnt given away his wicket yet

Its not about who is at the crease and who isn't, its about what is required for the team to win the game.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

38 off 39 balls

 

[Saj]

well i was trying to establish this based on his shots and his temperament. unless you saw even one thing that was paramount to your opinion please do highlight it because from where i am looking, i just didnt see it

I am asking how you can form a judgement on a batsman after seeing him for the first time and for 13 deliveries ? I guess this is the first time you have seen him bat ? You must have some sort of 6th sense ??

I have seen the lad batting many times and can safely say he is a decent all rounder. I dont know what the tactics were out there and what the instructions were today but he's better going for his shots.

 

[Plasma]

Calm down boys - we are about to witness a fantastic victory - inshallah

I second that!

 

[Lightning]

Why leave PP till the end? Surely it'd be better to lessen the pressure than leave all for one bulk!

 

[feather]

I think we are being bit unfair to Yasir. He came into the team after such a long time and that too during lots of pressure. He bowled better then Rao so I would still have him in the team and see what he can do for us.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Lovely shot from Tanvir BUT only a single

 

[Sparhawk]

Delicate touch from Tanvir... his nerves seem to be in order

 

[cricketkashmir]

ramiz raja says it looks impossible...

 

[Lethal]

Good little cut from Tanvir. Only a single though.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot by Tanvir for a single! Played it late and away from Haddin!

 

[Rana]

this is good stuff even now, taking the powerplay in the last five can be the right thing!

 

[GQ]

Just a qucik Q: Did Pakistan utilized the Batting Power Play in the other two matches?

 

[Big Daddy]

we will win but this is pathetic the way our team selection is. how in God's name will we chase 300 if ever we are put to chase it ever.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Its not about who is at the crease and who isn't, its about what is required for the team to win the game.

and maybe he will win the game for us - its not over

 

[Saj]

What makes anyone on this site a expert other than Noddy?

I dont proclaim to be an expert, I'm asking genius how he has suddenly become an overnight expert on all rounders credentials.

 

[shafkath]

sensible shot from a pakistani tailender, cant beiev my eyes, its often 2 much to ask from a middle order batsmen

 

[Lightning]

Boyc's commentary is really something special.

 

[Plasma]

All you people crying about the PP need to calm down. If they do all the fielders will be closer, less chance for singles, and they are under pressure so they can't go for boundaries.

 

[tauseefm]

I think we are being bit unfair to Yasir. He came into the team after such a long time and that too during lots of pressure. He bowled better then Rao so I would still have him in the team and see what he can do for us.

by looking at AUS performance against spin i would bring in Fawad alam insted of Yasir

 

[pak4life]

6 an over required

 

[asifp]

whatever you say, Tanvir has INzi like temprament

 

[Amir]

I think we are being bit unfair to Yasir. He came into the team after such a long time and that too during lots of pressure. He bowled better then Rao so I would still have him in the team and see what he can do for us.

I agree, he gives us batting depth and we know he can make runs. Plus he can bowl at teh death unlike Rao.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Superb shot from Malik - 2 runs taken

 

[sohaibsyed]

pakistan can win in one over now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot by Malik 2 runs!

4 runs off the over!

 

[Sparhawk]

Req rate is now 6/over

Shoaib picks up 2 off the last ball to bring it down

 

[Lightning]

I dont proclaim to be an expert, I'm asking genius how he has suddenly become an overnight expert on all rounders credentials.

His opinion of what an allrounder in his eyes is?

 

[Salman]

4 off that over 164/7

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Partnership of 16 from 21 balls between Tanvir and Malik

 

[shafkath]

that partnerships cards making me cry

 

[Big Daddy]

I dont proclaim to be an expert, I'm asking genius how he has suddenly become an overnight expert on all rounders credentials.

saj here is the ground reality. you can have all your sugar in your coffee the ground reality is, this guy wont be in the mix for long. so no point even arguing his credentials. ur site, u win.

 

[asifp]

yaar waise taking the powerplay is a hit or miss, cause with the field spread out we can do it with singles and doubles

but still we should take it now

 

[cricketkashmir]

I wish I could hide somewhere

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tong Greig and Waqar Younis to take us to the end!

 

[Amir]

I dont proclaim to be an expert, I'm asking genius how he has suddenly become an overnight expert on all rounders credentials.

I didnt say you were an expert. I am just saying, if we go on the basis on who is and who is not an expert...I don't think any of your members should be posting then.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Maybe a stumping?

 

[hashman]

oh damn, battery almost gone, hope i get good news when i wake up 2mrw. Please take the powerplay Younis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Appeal for a stumping against Tanvir

 

[Mapleleafs]

I think we are being bit unfair to Yasir. He came into the team after such a long time and that too during lots of pressure. He bowled better then Rao so I would still have him in the team and see what he can do for us.

I agree, it's not Arafat's or Tanvir's job to save this team. The middle order failed, the blame is solely on them. If our specialist batsmen cant save this game, 199 is an easy target...it's a shame we're in this position.

 

[Lethal]

If this is not out Haddin deserves a slap

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Aussies seem confident

 

[cricketkashmir]

Haddin thinks tanvir is stumped

 

[Sparhawk]

stumping appeal against Tanno... its close but he might be safe

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It looks on the line

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nope - thats not out, got his foot back in time

 

[Lethal]

On the line. I think

 

[pak4life]

thats close

 

[Salman]

stumping appeal....

 

[asifp]

Younus Khan showing his captaincy skills.

 

[cricketkashmir]

Close again..i think on the line

 

[shafkath]

yes he got back

 

[Saj]

His opinion of what an allrounder in his eyes is?

are you a puppet sat on his knee? Let him answer, I'm not asking you if I was, I would direct the question at you

 

[MIG]

Pakistan can win this - they will win this and then we will give YK a mega phainti with Chapa from Chapal Cup

Is Tanvir out ? stumped ?

 

[feather]

That can't be out.

 

[cricketkashmir]

I think it should go in the favour of the batsman

 

[GQ]

I hope the umpires don't make another stupid decision here!

 

[McBoom]

Boycs laying into Malik and rightly so. Its time to get a move on and not to play for your not out.

 

[Serendipity]

tanvir gone, stumping?

 

[Inswinger]

Yep. Not out. He got a tiny bit of his behind the line. Too much doubt to be given.

 

[pak4life]

phewwwwwwwwwww

 

[GQ]

On the line is iffy, although I think he's more in than on the line. Let's see.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not out

 

[cricketkashmir]

not out

 

[sohaibsyed]

safe

 

[Lethal]

Not out.

 

[Sparhawk]

Tanno survives.. but its still a dot ball

 

[MIG]

NOTTTT OUTTTTTTT!!!! In yer face

 

[shafkath]

pheeeeew!!!

 

[sohaibsyed]

Take The Powerplayyyyy

 

[GQ]

Thank You!

 

[Saj]

I didnt say you were an expert. I am just saying, if we go on the basis on who is and who is not an expert...I don't think any of your members should be posting then.

and what I am saying is how can someone form a judgement on a player after seeing him bat for the first time in his life and for 13 deliveries unless that person has a 6th sense.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

NOT OUT - Good decision BUT was worried

 

[pak4life]

jus go for it we got nothing to lose now
