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

[Khabri420]

Akhtar back to his usual self....bowling cr@p

 

[Osman]

more of those inswinging yorkers please!

 

[IMMY69]

2 or 3 quick wickets and the game will turn on its head....have faith

 

[Waseem]

We need Ajmal to do something special before he gets BANNED!!!!

 

[Khabri420]

and luck continues to favor the aussies

 

[Lethal]

Another top delivery. Great reverse swinging yorker.

 

[Osman]

Ajmal should be bought into the attack next up

 

[TaZ]

the team need to believe there can be a collapse on these wickets. Clarke is KEY

 

[insaftak]

another 4, game over!!!!!!!!

 

[TaZ]

4 more - akhtar the liability continues

 

[Osman]

only way Pakistan can win this is by wickets .... not run rate

 

[Waseem]

Another lose delivery by Akhtar and another 4 by Clarke.
Clarke has to GO otherwise no chance.

 

[Lethal]

Another 4 to Clarke.

Two fours from the over. Poor over despite a couple of good balls.

 

[hashman]

yaar, this game is really slipping away. Need the spin of Ajmal on now to replace Afridi

 

[Garuda]

The prob is pak bowlers are not able to restrict the run flow. Aus is getting the required run rate easily. They won't make anything stupid to give their wicket.

YK may need to attck more and bring more fielders into the circle. Run flow should stop.

 

[NeVerMind]

Akhtar. So much promise at the start and then just fades away. Why do I let myself get excited like this??

 

[Lightning]

Shoaib bowling a short and wide one every now and then...

 

[Khabri420]

11 runs from that over...Akhtar very generous here

 

[sehban]

match and the series slipping from Pak... but still one feels that couple of quick wickets on this track can turn the match on its head Inshallah...

 

[Osman]

cant believe Watson is still there

 

[Lethal]

4 more - akhtar the liability continues

That's harsh. He took the early wickets, bowled with good pace and aggression.

If we had more runs then it would be better. The batsmen have been the liability.

 

[Lightning]

Afridi not controlling his drift too well today thus far...

Come on Freedi!

 

[Zaad]

its over id say

 

[Zaad]

no fighting spirt at all

 

[Lethal]

Wickets are needed by Pakistan. Come on Pakistan.

 

[insaftak]

afridi is been very disappointing today

 

[Lightning]

4 more - akhtar the liability continues

The liability which is the only bowler to strike so far.

 

[Osman]

This is Australias game to lose from here on .... much like it was ours to lose last match .... don't think they will make the same mistakes though

 

[insaftak]

ajmal in

 

[Lightning]

Saeed "doosar" Ajmal in.

 

[Osman]

Ajmal into the attack

 

[Lethal]

Saeed Ajmal on.

 

[Khabri420]

lulz, ajmal on, someone hand over watson a pacifier

 

[Osman]

would love for Ajmal to get rid of Watson here

 

[Sufian84]

no need for younis to bring back akhtar there

 

[Momo]

Hey hey guys. Don't lose heart. We may of course go on to lose the match but don't panic so soon. The fat lady hasn't yet stepped out of the shower, let alone started singing.

 

[Osman]

lulz, ajmal on, someone hand over watson a pacifier

)

 

[Lightning]

Pak need to show more fight and get in Aussies ears and faces. Put some pressure and bowl with aggression!

 

[Zaad]

they neeed about 3 wickets

 

[Lethal]

Decent first over

 

[Inswinger]

Ajmal better bow some doosras.

 

[Osman]

1 off the over .... will YK risk bowling Malik?

 

[TaZ]

but he's only good for 3-4 overs. We need bowlers who can bowl 10 hostile overs. Mind you the rest arent exactly hostile

 

[insaftak]

comon afridi!!!!!!!

 

[Waseem]

Good bowling by Ajmal, 1 off the last over.
We need quick wickets here.
It can still happen, we did it last game to down from 95/0 to 170 all out.
Aussies are capable of a collapse, they have done it before. Come on Aussies!!!

 

[insaftak]

can't afford short balls afridi was lucky there

 

[Lethal]

Come on Afridi. Good fielding by Younus.

 

[Inswinger]

So Younis is now Youni bhai!! LOL

 

[Lightning]

Why can't our team bowl as a unit? Man it's frustrating...!

 

[Osman]

singles being picked off with ease here

 

[Zaad]

i dont see aus giving their wickets away,,

 

[insaftak]

replace afridi with malik, nothing happening for the beast!!

 

[Osman]

Ajmal to bowl to Watson ....

 

[M.Y.13]

Watson trying to take revenhge but fails

 

[Savak]

Again, testimony to Aussie professionalism, they have done their homework on the spinners and have developed a method on handling the spinners especially Afridi.

 

[Inswinger]

Has Ajmal bowled a doosra yet?

 

[Lightning]

That's the difference. While we had tuk tuk Misbah playing all the middle overs. They have Clarke - who is always looking to score. That's the difference!

 

[Osman]

ooh nearly got him!

 

[Waseem]

FIrst DOOSRA by Ajmal, we need a few more.
Pressure building 4 dot balls

 

[Lethal]

What a helmet. They should develop one of those for a batsman.

 

[Osman]

Ajmal 2 overs for 2 runs so far

 

[Inswinger]

What a helmet. They should develop one of those for a batsman.

That's really not for water.

 

[Lethal]

Clarke has scored at a good pace despite coming in under pressure. Big difference between Pakistan players and the Aussies. Pakistani's will block while the Aussies continue to score at a good pace.

 

[moekind]

2 or 3 quick wickets and the game will turn on its head....have faith

pak not batting ...it's aus who's bating

 

[Fallen King]

Malik will bowl now.

 

[insaftak]

malik replaces afridi

 

[Lethal]

Anyway Malik is on.

 

[MIG]

The difference between 2 teams is about 5 boundaries at the moment.

Really bad performance by Pak batsmen

 

[Inswinger]

Malik is on. Need a wicket ASAP.

 

[Waseem]

Good 50 by Clarke, brilliant knock.

 

[TaZ]

everyone is beating the aussies and once again we arent!

 

[Inswinger]

Younis needs to bring the fielders in.

 

[MIG]

Boycs feels that Pakistan need to bring in fielders to stop the singles and make them hit boundaries

The way they are picking up singles is not good

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Rubbish captaincy, needs to ATTACK

 

[IMMY69]

pak not batting ...it's aus who's bating

uh huh but aussies were 3 for 2 so quick wickets can be had...also first match they were 90 for 3 ony to collapse to 120 for 8...so lets not lose all hope..

 

[Inswinger]

Stop these easy singles. Bring in ore fielders!

 

[Osman]

so who exactly was saying 200 was a good score on this pitch?

50 for Clarke ... excellent innings ... YK watch and learn!

 

[Waseem]

The difference between 2 teams is about 5 boundaries at the moment.

Really bad performance by Pak batsmen

Terrible batting by Pakistanis but Aussie fast bowlers used the conditions much better. Clark, Bollinger and Bracken looked unplayable at times but then our batsmen make any bowler unplayable.

 

[Osman]

Ajmal to continue

 

[Lethal]

Come on Ajmal. Get Watson.

So close.
