Pakistan v Australia | 4th ODI | Abu Dhabi | 01/05/09 | Australia Innings

[Fallen King]

That's great start. But i still feel Pakistan is not gonna win. ;(

It's Friday. Let's hope i am wrong

 

[Inswinger]

Our fielding has to back the bowling!!

 

[Saj]

Fielders have really got to back the bowlers today.

 

[Lethal]

Good shot by Watson. 4

 

[Waseem]

Short ball and given a lot of widt, spanked for FOUR by Watson.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

This is bowling!!!

 

[Plasma]

damn 4 for watson.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akthar on fire here!

 

[Inswinger]

Too much width.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

No no shaiby, dont bowl short. You just have a few balls left in this over, get one more out

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Get symonds and clark!

 

[shabbu1]

4 by Watson. Come on shobby don't get too excited!

 

[IAJ]

That was hitting middle!

lol, come on man

 

[Shayan]

Good over again. Tanvir needs to get the ball on target now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 8/2 after 3 overs

 

[Lethal]

Poor ball by Tanvir. On leg stump. 4 to Clarke

 

[Inswinger]

lol, come on man

Alright. It was clipping off stump.

 

[Waseem]

Bad bowling by Tanvir, outside leg and Clarke guides it to leg side for a four.

 

[TaZ]

here come the 4s...

 

[HuZi]

4444 tanvir yaar

 

[Inswinger]

8 cheap runs given.

 

[Sparhawk]

Tanno's getting better pace as well. 137.5 the last ball

 

[abc_to_xyz]

4 again... This time, Tanvir comes under Clark's fire..

 

[Waseem]

On the leg again by Tanvir and easy single by Clarke.

 

[NeVerMind]

Tanvir needs to sort this out, he is releasing the pressure...

 

[waqar_ahmad]

ANd what the hell is Tanvir doing. You can already see the difference in class of shoaib and tanvir

 

[Lethal]

That was a beauty. But good leave

 

[IAJ]

come on tanvir, dont ease the preassure

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Ok this pace / spin strategy needs to be revisited. Get rid of tanvir until the 25 th over

 

[abc_to_xyz]

If we got defeated, absence of Gul will be the only reason...

 

[Waseem]

What a ball by Tanvir, good thinking to come around the wicket to change the angle.

 

[Inswinger]

That swung yards!!!!

 

[Shayan]

Clarke looking solid.

 

[Momo]

Ok this pace / spin strategy needs to be revisited. Get rid of tanvir until the 25 th over

Lol
Agree.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Tanvir getting some drift..

 

[srh]

If we got defeated, absence of Gul will be the only reason...

yeah should have played him instead of Arafat.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

CLarke has won the initial battle against Tanvir, forced him to go around the wicket

 

[abc_to_xyz]

Edged by Clarke... Almost going into stumps... But hey, its tanvir..

 

[Waseem]

Oh no!! Clarke edged it to thirdman, not feeling easy against Tanvir from this angle.

 

[Sparhawk]

Just one slip.. dont agree with that strategy

 

[Inswinger]

We could use another slip.

 

[NeVerMind]

should have had a second slip there...

 

[Momo]

Tanvir getting some drift..

Yes. Should mix in an arm ball now.

 

[IAJ]

already taken out second slip? Wasn`t younis an agressive captain, oh finally slip is back

 

[abc_to_xyz]

yeah should have played him instead of Arafat.

or ajmal...

 

[Inswinger]

Second slip is in place. It's the rookie Shehzad.

 

[HuZi]

akhtar tha man for us

 

[Lethal]

Good fielding from Afridi.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi the Lion pounces on the ball. good fielding

 

[Waseem]

Great fielding by Afridi.
Come on AKhtar, we need one more to expose them a bit.

 

[Fallen King]

Umar Gul is not good enough with the new ball. I believe it's right decision to rest him for a while.

 

[Sparhawk]

That was sooo close!!! i thought it hit pad first

 

[IAJ]

what a ball from shoaib!!

 

[Lethal]

Close shout for LBW.

 

[Inswinger]

That was close!!

 

[Waseem]

Ooooooooooooh that was close, just hit him outside off stump.
IT looked out, i don't think there was any bat.
Maybe just going over the stumps but looked OUT.

 

[Momo]

Afridi. What a cricketer!

 

[Inswinger]

No bat on that one. A bit high though.

 

[Sparhawk]

I still think it was out... Twatson lucky to get away with that

Akhtars operating at 146+ now

 

[HuZi]

fast and furious akhtarrr

 

[waqar_ahmad]

That was closer than it looked. CLarke survives, that was out

 

[IAJ]

this ball was even closer than the ball that was given out

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Yes. Should mix in an arm ball now.

lol the chinamen are clearly not working..

 

[Sheikh]

Watson's edgy, should pick him soon.

Clarke's the key.

 

[saeed-sohail]

that was plumb dar sahib

 

[Waseem]

Inside edge by Watson, not sure what he was doing.
Great bowling by Akhtar, keeping everyone interested.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Come on Akhtar, one more. Tanvir wont do jack

 

[IAJ]

I really hope he bowls full 10 overs today

 

[Momo]

lol the chinamen are clearly not working..

 

[abc_to_xyz]

That was closer than it looked. CLarke survives, that was out

I though it was bowled to Watson...

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Akhtar's in a different league...

 

[Sparhawk]

Inside edge by Watson, not sure what he was doing.
Great bowling by Akhtar, keeping everyone interested.

Very similar shot to the one he got out on in the last match

 

[Waseem]

Akhtar bowling above 145 consistently.
Another inside edge.
Another brilliant over.

 

[lollol]

147.6 k

 

[abc_to_xyz]

Watson's edgy, should pick him soon.

Clarke's the key.

I bet he won't! If he did, we will won the match...

 

[161]

can't believe watson survived that over

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Watson just has no clue against Akhtar

 

[Salman]

Akthar averaging 91 MPH

 

[Sparhawk]

147.6 kph... the aussies are clueless against his pace

 

[Fallen King]

Good over by Shoaib Akhtar

Sohail Tanveer needs to pick few wickets.
