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

[Osman]

oh dear another boundary ..... Australia ahead of where we were at this stage!

 

[abc_to_xyz]

Imagine Akhtar, Gul and Asif playing at the same time!!!

add Afridi in... for Spin and we have the best bowling attack since 2 Ws.....





btw, we need to keep run rate around 2.8 to get in the game...

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Tanveer can't even bamboozle the batsmen with the odd wrong'un!

 

[Sparhawk]

I hope YK takes akhtar off now.. he can continue the destruction later on

 

[waqar_ahmad]

I think one last over from Akhtar after this. Tanvir wont get wickets. Akhtar must strike once more at least. InshaAllah

 

[Waseem]

Tanvir bowls a beuatiful delivery after conceding a boundary to Clarke.
Younis brings another slip, good to see.(shouldn't have been removed anyway)
Tanvir ends well but needs to rey something different.

 

[IAJ]

come on shoaib, one more over now

 

[Inswinger]

Another over for Akhtar? Or is that pushing it in this heat?

 

[Salman]

30-5

5 Off Tanvirs over

 

[TaZ]

any links?

 

[insaftak]

arafat in

 

[abc_to_xyz]

We badly need 1 wicket in 2-3 overs...

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Damn it. Akhtar taken off. Arafat comes on, two pie throwers operating now

 

[abc_to_xyz]

lol... thats mean no more wickets..

 

[Salman]

Arafat on for Akthar

 

[saeed-sohail]

fielding shaz.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Arafart needs to let rip!

 

[Osman]

Useless Arafat into the attack

 

[Fallen King]

We, Pakistani fans always wish for the AAG but at the end, it's us and our team get the fire burnt already. Enough with the AAG. Put AAG on the hold for a while because our fire fighters station chief has no management experience to handle the AAG

 

[abc_to_xyz]

I hope he can bowl few eco overs...

 

[Waseem]

30-5

5 Off Tanvirs over

We WISH!!!!

Good ball by Arafat, just missed Watson's bat.

 

[MIG]

[MIG]

another beauty to Watson - looked bemused

 

[insaftak]

[abc_to_xyz]

Useless Arafat into the attack

Don't say that... Keep believing..

 

[Sparhawk]

Arafart needs to let rip!

) )

 

[IAJ]

good start from arafat

 

[Waseem]

Arafat bowling like S Clark, twice missed the bat just out side off stump.
Maiden OVER!!!!!!!!
Well done boy.

 

[insaftak]

maiden by pie thrower

 

[MIG]

maiden by Arafat - this is pure gold

 

[IMMY69]

come on arafat..show your class son!

 

[Salman]

good first over from Yasir... maiden!

 

[Pakistani tigers]

dont say that man. Not everyone can bowl 15ok like Shoaiby baby! Back the boys. It will come soon inshallah.

 

[lakha84]

maiden hai bahi maiden hai

 

[Muhammad]

It took Shoaib 2 balls to take a wicket, this guy Arafat has had a whole over and still nothing in the wickets column!

 

[Waseem]

This is Tanvir's 5th over, he should ball one more after this and Afridi should replace him.

 

[Salman]

maiden by pie thrower

most of the aussies were pie throwers too, bowling at the low 130's and look what they pulled off!

 

[Fallen King]

Sohail Tanveer is bowling fine so far. Just need to pick few wicket to put Australia in trouble. Pakistan badly need is the wicket

 

[saeed-sohail]

great over satti boy.we need to back these guys up as long as they put up a fight.

 

[IMMY69]

tanno and arafat doing a fine job...

if the dew stays away then its gonna be very difficult for them to score off the aussies so tanno and arafat have to keep it quiet

 

[Fallen King]

That's good shot.

FOUR

Clark

 

[insaftak]

why is that fielder not fielding straight, thats 2nd four in that area

 

[Waseem]

Tanvir concedes another boundary, straight shot by Clarke, brilliant shot.

 

[Osman]

here we go agen ... more 4s from Tanvirs bowling

 

[insaftak]

most of the aussies were pie throwers too, bowling at the low 130's and look what they pulled off!

i was making fun of waqar_ahmad

 

[Waseem]

Good slow delivery by Tanvir, this is what he needs to do.
Some off cutters, slow deliveries etc.
Don't be predictable.
Another short ball by Tanvir and another boundary.

 

[Khabri420]

Tanvir needs to be taken out of the attack

 

[TaZ]

Tanvir leaking 4s

 

[Osman]

come on arafat..show your class son!

Yasir Arafat and class?? sorry?

 

[waqar_ahmad]

What BS. All the pressure being released

 

[Fallen King]

Another FOUR by Clark

This is turning poor over for Sohail Tanveer.

 

[Sparhawk]

Terrible from Tanvir... releasing all the pressure

 

[Salman]

time to bring the spinners on ASAP!

 

[HuZi]

bringh him out of the atack man

 

[TaZ]

Younis looks annoyed and isnt smiling. Must be a first!?

 

[IAJ]

tanvir releasing all the preassure.

 

[Osman]

Flash in the pan Tanvir needs to be replaced asap!

 

[saeed-sohail]

It took Shoaib 2 balls to take a wicket, this guy Arafat has had a whole over and still nothing in the wickets column!

You should be on your psp kid this is not a sport for you to watch.

 

[lakha84]

time for tanvir to retire

 

[HuZi]

Another FOUR by Clark

This is turning poor over for Sohail Tanveer.

it is clarkE

 

[MIG]

Akmal needs to wear a helmet if he wants to stand up to Tanvir - fazool ka risk

 

[IMMY69]

Yasir Arafat and class?? sorry?

no..you're absolutely right

 

[Osman]

You should be on your psp kid this is not a sport for you to watch.

) i think he was being sarcastic ss

 

[OZGOD]

time to bring the spinners on ASAP!

I would bring a spinner on to get rid of Twatson if I were Pakistan. Then back to the quicks

 

[Waseem]

We need a wicket really quickly.
Arafat starts well again, bowling straight to Watson.

Good quick pickup and throw by Afridi, he has been fielding WELL today.

 

[Salman]

160 required from 239..

Oh dear!

 

[Waseem]

Another dot ball to Watson, come on Arafat, i can see Watson getting frustrated.

 

[MIG]

Arafat is superb. Drop Tanvir, bring on Gul and we have a great attack

 

[sehban]

need to block the runs even if the wickets are not coming because on this track its very hard to score once the ball gets old...expect the spinners to do a good job unless fast bowlers give too many runs away and the spinners dont have enough runs to play with

 

[Khabri420]

Arafat bowling well, but we need someone to apply the pressure on the other end.

 

[Osman]

Arafat is superb. Drop Tanvir, bring on Gul and we have a great attack

on the basis of what exactly?

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Arafat bowling much better than tanvir.

 

[saeed-sohail]

need a wicket here

 

[Muhammad]

Arafat putting the dots together nicely, just like he was doing when batting.

 

[Waseem]

Clarke is the KEY wicket right now, he is very comfortable.
Maybe spin can challenge him a bit.
Arafat bowling very straight.

 

[insaftak]

another good over by pie thrower

 

[IMMY69]

arafat bowling with very good pace and control...

 

[MIG]

on the basis of what exactly?

bhaiya - are we watching the same game?

 

[insaftak]

Arafat putting the dots together nicely, just like he was doing when batting.

[Fallen King]

Fine over by Yasir Arafat
