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

[GQ]

Australia should be fined for excessive appealing, specially Haddin.

 

[MIG]

I think it should go in the favour of the batsman

So what are you planning to write in your report ?

 

[Lethal]

Its getting tense now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is this out then? Umpires consulting

 

[Sparhawk]

Another appeal. Another dot ball.

Pressure building!!

 

[cricketkashmir]

not out..but the umpires are still discussing

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

35 from 32 needed

More than run a ball - aslong as these 2 are there til the last over or two we should be okay

 

[shafkath]

my heart cant take this

 

[asifp]

Younis ko aajk khana nahin mila ke batting powerplay kha gaya

 

[feather]

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

Are you watching the same match as the rest of us? Malik has gotten us home couple of times in very tight situation.

 

[Eagle Eyes]

We can't play power play no more? What is goin gon?

 

[cricketkashmir]

not out..

 

[MIG]

now third umpire for catch against Tanvir - NOT OUT - Aussies being silly here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not Out

 

[cricketkashmir]

and rightly so

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 164-7

 

[sohaibsyed]

utter confusion

 

[Salman]

another life for Pakistan... 32 required off 34

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Big appeal for LBW and again NOT OUT

 

[cricketkashmir]

another appeal..this looked close..very close

 

[UP]

This is nervy.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Symonds getting carried away - mong

34 from 31

 

[shafkath]

was it out? i've got no audio on my link.

 

[Sparhawk]

Need a boundary

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Symonds creating plenty of pressure

 

[the SHA]

Question to ask is why cant Pak batsmen bat under pressure? Why do key top-middle order batsmen get scared to make runs?

Is it just of basic lack of belief in themselves that they can win games, or lack of experience playing under pressure situations, perhaps because they think failure = immediate chop?

 

[Lethal]

Not out three times in the over. Very very tense. Plenty of pressure being applied on the umpire as Waqar Younis has pointed out.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

165-7

34 from 30 balls

 

[cricketkashmir]

34 reqd off 30..

 

[asifp]

Are you watching the same match as the rest of us? Malik has gotten us home couple of times in very tight situation.

Malike is waiting for the powerplay

 

[UP]

This is the only prime reason I don't prefer Pakistan chasing due to heart attacks they give.

 

[Saj]

So the batting powerplay will be in the last 5 overs.

Pak have lost 7 wickets for 69 runs - shameful really

 

[GQ]

Need 1 good over.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

34 from 30 balls

 

[MIG]

Aussies should be fined for excessive appealing... pathetic stuff

 

[b0wld]

I think the Pakistani's have forgotten that THEY have the option to call for the powerplay...

 

[Syndrome]

What exactly is Malik planning to do now?

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Pakistan compelled to take the powerplay, expect one to be skied in the air.

 

[taqi]

misbah and afridi played poor shorts

 

[asifp]

Tano is very lucky

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol forgot about it

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Somebody answer about the power play!!!!!!

 

[MIG]

automatic powerplay....

 

[Amir]

This is the only prime reason I don't prefer Pakistan chasing due to heart attacks they give.

I plan to give up Pakistan cricket after 40. First time a fan may actually retire from watching a sport for health reasons!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Powerplay taken - FINALLY!

 

[saeed-sohail]

this malik knock reminds me of a salim malik innings from mid 90s.I hope not.

 

[Serendipity]

that is what boycs said

 

[sohaibsyed]

i think shoaib malik is trying to decline the powerplay....but he wanst allowed to

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

yep - Powerplay in actiong

Not sure if thats automatic or whether the batsmen called it

 

[Lethal]

Powerplay 3 was forced on Pakistan. Shameful really.

 

[Sparhawk]

Yes Pakistan did forget to take the powerplay... but the umpires were nice enough to do it for us

 

[Amir]

misbah and afridi played poor shorts

They should be wearing some pants in that case.

 

[Saj]

What exactly is Malik planning to do now?

win the game hopefully

 

[asifp]

Pakistan did not want to take it

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Silly silly shot from Tanvir BUT got away with it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just over the top and get 2 runs!

 

[Big Daddy]

my word, they were not even gona take the power play. rules forced it on them

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

misbah and afridi played poor shorts

Younis Khan was the best though for me today !

 

[Sparhawk]

Tanvir goes over the top!!! JUST clears the fielder

2 valuable runs taken

 

[Lethal]

Tanvir lucky to get away with that. Right idea, poor execution.

 

[Serendipity]

shoaid does not want power play apparently.

 

[asifp]

should have taken the powerplay when Akmal was in

this is stupid

 

[Lightning]

Phew - this game is getting mighty intense...!

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

Fair enough. Apologies mate. Atleast I didn't get personal.

 

[McBoom]

Are you watching the same match as the rest of us? Malik has gotten us home couple of times in very tight situation.

Not couple of times, just once against Sri Lanka recently in Canada. Even then Fawad Alam had to break the shackles with a couple of sixes first up.

Malik typically plays these innings where he plays for his not outs and for once I'd like him to dig us out of this hole.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

quick single taken - nicely ran

31 from 27 needed

 

[saeed-sohail]

Powerplay taken - FINALLY!

Forced more like.

 

[asifp]

comeon Malika nd Tano

 

[Mercenary]

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

And even if Malik takes us over the line he'll have done something wrong )

 

[Big Daddy]

saj extremely classy last couple of posts. raise a roohafza today on your contributions. direct attacks are definitely recommended

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

C'mon PAK!! you can do it !!

 

[lollol]

Waqar thinks Akhtar is playing this match...

 

[GQ]

Malik: "Laga Reh, Laga Reh, Tu Laga Reh"

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Bracken to bowl

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A small Aussie meeting

 

[feather]

Waqar: Akhtar still to come lol

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good single there

30 from 26

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Gul, padded and ready for action

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Umar Gul shaking a nervous leg or 2 in the hall of shame!

 

[feather]

Please Malik do not moving around yet least not now...wait for another 10-15 runs.

 

[Lethal]

True, lets hope he finishes it.

I mean this should be easy. Powerplay.

30 off 26 balls.
