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

[UP]

Holy cow

what a mess

 

[Sparhawk]

I enjoy watching Afridi a lot more but of the two i'm glad its not Malik who got out... he's more likely to win the match by himself

 

[Amjid Javed]

Oh well 89/0 to 123/5

Pakistan doing there best to throw game away here!

 

[cricketkashmir]

akmal on the crease now..not a very good player of spin..

 

[Gollum]

Imploding before our eyes. Only Pakistan can do this I think.

 

[Oxy]

"Long crusty tail there boyz' - says an Aussie voice!

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol that was funny...did u guys hear akmal shouting asad bahi

 

[JammydodgA]

This match was ours for the taking!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistani Cricket doing what it knows to do best - How to do a mockery of a game that is nearly in your grasp!

 

[feather]

I guess Pakistan is just make sure we all remain healthy by raising our heart rates for optimum heart health.

I think they want to make sure it doesn't look easy.

 

[OZGOD]

BIG WICKET - Afridi could have done some serious damage if he's stayed in. Even if he only scored 20 off 8 it's still an impact given how low our total is

 

[rhussain33]

what was one of the aussies saying about a crusty tail and giving it a laugh haha

 

[OZGOD]

29.1 Clarke to Shahid Afridi, OUT, and another one goes! Oh this is some suicidal batting, I tell you! Clarke proposes, Afridi accepts with a wild two-step and a slash of the bat only to give Hussey a juggling catch at first slip, the wheels are coming off Pakistan's gravy train
Shahid Afridi c Hussey b Clarke 6 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75.00

 

[IAJ]

only shoiab malik can save pakistan now

 

[Sparhawk]

Pressure off now, these two are set

let that be a lesson for you. is never set

 

[cricketkashmir]

VEry long tail says Haddin

 

[Lightning]

Btw another jinx wicket from 123-4. Interesting. Match fi....

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Arafat and Tanvir still to come. We can cruise from here.

 

[IAJ]

Clark still has 7 overs left, not looking good

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

What the crap have we just done ? i dont know what to say apart from if we dotn win the players deserve stick big time !

 

[hashman]

Akmal always proves good in these kinda tense situations. Hope its the same again today.

 

[OZGOD]

Now, of these two...I would prefer Akmal's wicket. I don't want Akmal batting during the batting powerplay.

 

[the SHA]

Common guys youre being very harsh. Afterall Saqlain Hauritz and Vettori Clark have skittled over many a better team before, we're just not used to facing this class of spin.

 

[Eagle Eyes]

We will win as long as Kamran is there. He is the match winner.

 

[cricketkashmir]

76 more needed... someone plz tell me they will make it

 

[Big Daddy]

is it the third time we are 5 down before 130 is even up

 

[Gollum]

These two must make a 50 partnership or it is all over.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Misbah and Afrid go for a 6 when we only needed like 3 runs an over.. you just have to laugh at that..

 

[UP]

We need atleast 40 runs from this pair.

 

[pak4life]

malik playing sensibly

 

[GQ]

Match phuns gaya hai

 

[JammydodgA]

76 more needed... someone plz tell me they will make it

They'l make it!

 

[cricketkashmir]

hauritz bowling well...

 

[Rana]

its the spin! just se it through i gues, the rest should fine, we can really lose this, it wouldnt make sense!

 

[Inswinger]

What the crap have we just done ? i dont know what to say apart from if we dotn win the players deserve stick big time !

welcome to Pakistani cricket,,,

 

[hashman]

Now, of these two...I would prefer Akmal's wicket. I don't want Akmal batting during the batting powerplay.

Please, Shhhh. enough jinxing already me thinks

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Keeping the stump mike on has made the game very interesting.

 

[Lethal]

I said at the start the middle order is nothing special.

Still you'd back Akmal and Malik to finish it off. 75 off 20 overs.

 

[cricketkashmir]

They'l make it!

i hope..and pray they do

 

[the Great Khan]

Moyo here would have won it for us!!

 

[GQ]

They'll make it

 

[IMMY69]

i think from here on anything over 4 runs per over is going to be a very tall order..

 

[Oxy]

Jammy 4 wides!

124-5

 

[UP]

Thank You 4 byes.

 

[Amjid Javed]

As ive said numerous times before Pakistan batting does not posses even a single world class ODI Batsmen.

 

[Gollum]

welcome to Pakistani cricket,,,

This is nothing!! We have lost from better positions... issed:

 

[Lethal]

Malik missing a full toss which goes through Haddin's for a boundary. 4 byes.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Lol Malik missing the easy full toss which just went for 4 byes proves how much pressure we are under now

 

[masterblaster]

does this match reminds anyone of pakistan vs south africa's fifth and decider odi in pakistan...when pakistan was all set to win the series and all of a sudden they collapse like a pack of cards...same thing is happening here....i hope this time they get thought the finishing line

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Has anybody noticed that when Pakistan have a 200-ish total to chase, and get a good start, they make a mess of it? E.g. SA v Pak 5th ODI 2007, vs SA in Morocco, vs England 2005.

 

[Lightning]

Aussie favorites for me. These will be longest 70 runs to get...

 

[GQ]

Michael Clarke got 3 free wickets.

 

[IMMY69]

As ive said numerous times before Pakistan batting does not posses even a single world class ODI Batsmen.

aj, at 90 for no loss chasing 199 to win at 3.5 runs per over...do you really need world class odi batsmen????

 

[<< Rashid >>]

128-5

 

[Gollum]

Misbah is to blame for this mini implosion. There was absolutely no need for the silly shot he played. I think this should be the end of Misbah from the ODI squad.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yasir Arafat looks a bit tensed sitting next to his skipper!

 

[the Great Khan]

Bring back moyo

 

[UP]

2 runs...

 

[Inswinger]

Michael Clarke got 3 free wickets.

2 free wickets.
Sehzad was done by a good delivery.

 

[Lightning]

Akmal - the best Pak player under pressure - needs to see us through.

 

[hashman]

does this match reminds anyone of pakistan vs south africa's fifth and decider odi in pakistan...when pakistan was all set to win the series and all of a sudden they collapse like a pack of cards...same thing is happening here....i hope this time they get thought the finishing line

YES!!!

 

[GQ]

2 free wickets.
Sehzad was done by a good delivery.

You're right. make that 2 then.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'll drop Misbah for the remaining 2 matches and bring in Fawad Alam instead if need be!

 

[sehban]

Inshallah Pakistan will win this !!!

 

[UP]

Keep ticking in singles and doubles.

 

[rhussain33]

Why dont they play this fawad alam dude instead of Misbah...

 

[Lightning]

next wicket will come at 145 going by the pattern.

 

[sohaibsyed]

o man this is too tense

wow!! we said the same thing at the same time!!! how co-incident...lol

 

[Oxy]

From Aussie indecency...to Pak decency!

 

[Mercenary]

Common guys youre being very harsh. Afterall Saqlain Hauritz and Vettori Clark have skittled over many a better team before, we're just not used to facing this class of spin.

You forgot Roy Sobers who has decided to bowl spin instead of medium pace today!!

 

[MIG]

The hall of shame - Pakistan dressing room....

 

[<< Rashid >>]

YK still has a smile on his face, I like his positive attitude, but he needs to mellow down a little now and again.

 

[GQ]

Guys, but you have to realize that the same batting collapses have been going in all three ODIs so far for both sides so no surprises here.

 

[MIG]

Waqar laying into Misbah about how he can only try and hit sixes or block...

 

[Oxy]

The hall of shame - Pakistan dressing room....

They look to comfortable to me - plush 'Recaro' style seats - easy!

 

[abc_to_xyz]

Let me have some laugh... After 199, I never thought that Arafat is going to do something with the bat, (esp. after 95-0), but its PAKISTAN!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The hall of shame - Pakistan dressing room....

They don't quite know themselves what that is as they lost count as to how many times it's been that!

 

[MIG]

YK still has a smile on his face, I like his positive attitude, but he needs to mellow down a little now and again.

That is a smile of shame.

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol
