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

[MIG]

Chappell thinks that Akmal is trying to get under the skin of the batter - but thats how Akmal is ALL the time !

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good fieliding by Fawad Alam

 

[Waseem]

Brilliant over by Ajmal, just one off it but Aussies are under pressure now.

I thought that was OUT!!!

Dar probably realised he gave Misbah wrongly not out.
He has given 2 lives to Watson already.

 

[Lethal]

Good fielding. Eh its Fawad Alam.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Non Strikers end would have been out

 

[Lethal]

Missed run out and poor throw at the wrong end

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs off 2 balls

 

[MIG]

Brilliant over by Ajmal, just one off it but Aussies are under pressure now.

Both were NOT out

 

[Osman]

hmmm run rate climbing .... interesting!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

5 off 3 now

 

[Osman]

and now Malik lifting it up again ....

 

[MIG]

MALIK stop taking the pressure off.

 

[Lethal]

Runs coming too easy. The ball was next to Misbah and they ran. Is that the captain's fault.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

5 off the over

Some pressure relieved off them!

 

[Lightning]

When will YK bring the field in? When they need one to win?

 

[TaZ]

Need Ajmal at both ends!

 

[MIG]

This is the thing - some players in their heads have already given up.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Alam with a fumble there luckily they didnt take a 2nd

 

[IMMY69]

When will YK bring the field in? When they need one to win?

when aussies take their powerplay!

 

[MIG]

When will YK bring the field in? When they need one to win?

One thing I have learnt about Pak cricket is that there is no point applying logic

 

[Lightning]

Keep Watson - get Clarke out.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

In the air but safe and Clarke gets 2

 

[Lethal]

Clarke slightly lucky but he is picking Ajmal

 

[Lethal]

One thing I have learnt about Pak cricket is that there is no point applying logic

True even I'm a better captain.

 

[insaftak]

watson is clueless, hahaha

 

[IMMY69]

afridi to come back and take 5 quick wickets! 4 in a row

 

[Lightning]

Should bring field in when Watts on strike. Put more pressure on him. He doesn't seem like getting bat on ball.

Too easy out there for Aus right now...

 

[MIG]

Ok no wickets fine - just get in a few maiden overs in there.

 

[Lethal]

After 31 overs it was a similar score between both side. Interesting.

 

[TaZ]

After 31 overs

Aus 113-2
Pak 113-3

 

[IMMY69]

pak -aussie score exactly same at this stage - just paks 3 wickets down

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Six by Watson

 

[Lethal]

Poor ball from Malik. Too short. Gone for 6.

 

[IMMY69]

come on just a couple of wickets here....

 

[MIG]

Should bring field in when Watts on strike. Put more pressure on him. He doesn't seem like getting bat on ball.

Too easy out there for Aus right now...

I do wonder if YK is watching or taking part in the same game being shown on TV

Another nail in our collective coffins - Watson hits a six

 

[TaZ]

50 for watson and the worst most clueless 50 ive ever seen

 

[Saj]

After 31 overs

Aus 113-2
Pak 113-3

and then we pressed the panic button as always.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

78 needed now off 18.3

 

[Waseem]

Six!!!!

 

[Inswinger]

Younis really letting the game get away. Time to take off Malik.

 

[tauseefm]

so who is watching NHL playoffs tonight?(Ducks vs Red Wings)..lol

 

[Inswinger]

so who is watching NHL playoffs tonight?(Ducks vs Red Wings)..lol

My Rangers are out. They pulled a similar choke job to Pakistan.

 

[Garuda]

Younis really letting the game get away. Time to take off Malik.

But Malik is senior player. So YK can't.

 

[insaftak]

you guys watch nhl, lol

 

[Inswinger]

Off to Jummah prayer. Hope there's a miracle by the time I'm back.

 

[Savak]

The Pakistani batters can learn something from Watson, atleast he didnt throw it away when struggling or given a chance.

 

[Lethal]

Come on Ajmal. Get Watson

 

[Saj]

The Pakistani batters can learn something from Watson, atleast he didnt throw it away when struggling or given a chance.

spot on, hung in there and fought it out.

 

[Fallen King]

you guys watch nhl, lol

I like NHL. What is wrong with NHL?

 

[Lethal]

Good over by Ajmal. Just the one off it.

 

[tauseefm]

My Rangers are out. They pulled a similar choke job to Pakistan.

i hate Rangers just cuz of Sean Avery issed: lol

 

[Saj]

great spell this by Ajmal 7 overs for 11 runs.

76 needed off 102 deliveries

 

[Osman]

bring Afridi back!

 

[Garuda]

crappy fielding by akhtar

 

[Fallen King]

Akhtar is seen to be limping full time. That looked indeed funnier. LOL

 

[UP]

3 more runs for Clarke

 

[Lethal]

Akhtar seriously needs to lose some weight.

Good bowling from Afridi. Watson very lucky there.

 

[Garuda]

how lucky watson is not to get bowled on that ball )

 

[insaftak]

watson is clueless

 

[Momo]

This match is going to be a tight one.

 

[Lethal]

Watson is a lucky guy. He is playing pull shots to good length balls.

In the air for ages but no one there.

Thats gone for 4. Expensive over.

 

[UP]

Australia slowly inching home

 

[MIG]

This match is going to be a tight one.

This has many meanings. Pakistan coming close is not one of them

 

[TaZ]

10 off afridis over

 

[UP]

Not our day

 

[Lethal]

Fielding hasn't been too good. A few good stops here and there is not good enough.

 

[Osman]

things just have not gone our way

 

[Lethal]

Australia take their Powerplay. InshaALLAH some wickets.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies crusing here. Cant blame the bowlers, the battings been a joke again!

 

[Pakpride]

Akhtar seriously needs to lose some weight.

Good bowling from Afridi. Watson very lucky there.

that is so true he really needs to lose weight

 

[Lethal]

132-3

66 needed of 96 balls

Arafat to bowl

 

[Lethal]

Poor first ball. 2 more to the Aussie total.

 

[Momo]

This has many meanings. Pakistan coming close is not one of them

 

[TaZ]

Aussies crusing here. Cant blame the bowlers, the battings been a joke again!

you did say you'd be stunned if we made 200

 

[Pakpride]

Australia require another 64 runs with 8 wickets and 15.5 overs remaining
bad bowling from afridi

 

[Lethal]

Aussies crusing here. Cant blame the bowlers, the battings been a joke again!

That is true. Batting has been abysmal all series.

 

[OZGOD]

Cruising to victory now I think. Surely we can't collapse from here!

 

[Yossarian]

Fielding hasn't been too good. A few good stops here and there is not good enough.

So , normal for the Pakistan team then.

 

[Momo]

Cruising to victory now I think. Surely we can't collapse from here!

I smell some complacency here.

 

[Lethal]

Cruising to victory now I think. Surely we can't collapse from here!

No you guys are far too professional.
