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

[Ahmad]

Misbah whacks it over the top. Just over. Get a couple.

 

[MIG]

I think having such an old school coach doesnt help matters either. As it is from his media statements you can make out that the guy mostly believe in pep talks and doesnt focus too much on the technical sides of things.

Yaar when we had a modern coach , like BW and Lawson and people hated them - wanted a goold old Pakistani

Now we have a local coach and we have a problem as well?

 

[Ahmad]

That was shahzad. Not misbah.

 

[Inswinger]

Yaar when we had a modern coach , like BW and Lawson and people hated them - wanted a goold old Pakistani

Now we have a local coach and we have a problem as well?

Your explaining that to the king of wrist slitters?

"Ghar ki murghi daal barabar"

 

[Sheikh]

I really can't stand Tony Grieg.

 

[Ahmad]

is the wicket really that tough ?

Taz whats compounding the wicket is the fact that there isnt much reliability in the batsmen left to come. Malik, Afridi, Kamran.

 

[IronMan2009]

2.92 Rr

 

[MIG]

I really can't stand Tony Grieg.

He needs to take murghi ka joshanda...

 

[Sheikh]

This is heartening from Shehzad. Just his 3rd odi, in tough conditions, with a poor start from the team, and he has the ability and fortitude to tough it out and put a price on his wicket.

Good to see from one so young.

 

[lakha84]

94 plus delivery since last boundary
no commentary for me what abt youy guys ????
just stopped out of no where

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to get a move on here because if another few wickets fall then pakistan will have a poor run rate and be in deep ****!

 

[TaZ]

Taz whats compounding the wicket is the fact that there isnt much reliability in the batsmen left to come. Malik, Afridi, Kamran.

hmm, thats what I thought. Its not just the wicket. They get 200 and aussies chase with ease as per the other day?

 

[Amjid Javed]

63/2 after 21 overs.

 

[insaftak]

these two have started to take singles now, i like it

 

[Ahmad]

The batsmen seem to have decided its time to pick up the pace a little..

 

[MIG]

94 plus delivery since last boundary
no commentary for me what abt youy guys ????
just stopped out of no where

Just as well - they arent saying anything useful. You are the lucky

 

[Ahmad]

4 by shahzad..!!

 

[MIG]

4 after 17 overs by Shehzad

 

[Sheikh]

Lovely shot. Hit it well in front of point.

 

[Ahmad]

Cracked along the ground to cover..

this has been a great over.

 

[insaftak]

choka by shehzad, 8 of the over, well done

 

[Ahmad]

8 runs off this over so far..

they've decided to go after north.. the debutant.

 

[Inswinger]

4 after 17 overs by Shehzad

He;s gonna be a good one. Seems to have better temperament than the "seniors".

 

[Da Best]

4 and then a single that's smart batting.

 

[Sheikh]

How long before Clarke brings himself on?

 

[Ahmad]

71/2 22 overs.

 

[Da Best]

8 runs of that over

 

[Sheikh]

There we go.

 

[Ahmad]

Dean jones suggesting 210 is a good total on this wicket..

 

[insaftak]

clarke in

 

[Da Best]

Clarke in intersting descion,

 

[TaZ]

lets hope ahktar doesnt go for the usual 6+ an over. Looks like a pace off the ball type wicket

 

[Ahmad]

Misbah pulls clarke for 4..!

 

[Inswinger]

Hoping Misbah doesn't pull another stunt here!!

 

[MIG]

well done Misbah -

 

[insaftak]

choka by misbah, short ball and he kills it

 

[Salman]

8 an over here would give us 295

 

[TaZ]

Dean jones suggesting 210 is a good total on this wicket..

Thanks,210 based on our current position or actually that 210 is a good score on this wicket?

 

[Inswinger]

Clarke in intersting descion,

He's trying to entice the batsman to go after him. Must resist the temptation Misbah!!!!!!

 

[Da Best]

Pulled for four!

 

[Ahmad]

76/2.. five from clarkes over.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

How long before Clarke brings himself on?

lets teach him a lesson today.By smacking him all around the park.

 

[insaftak]

8 an over here would give us 295

10 an over would give us even more

 

[Inswinger]

10 an over would give us even more

 

[Sheikh]

Excellent by Shehzad, looking to rotate strike. Even better to see him hitting down the ground.

 

[TaZ]

any links??

 

[Garuda]

The new kid seems to have good temperament. Even after early losses he is ready to go slow but hold one side.

I am not seeing live but seems he is not doing anything stupid.

 

[Ahmad]

80/2 ... four from the over. 24 gone.

 

[insaftak]

The new kid seems to have good temperament. Even after early losses he is ready to go slow but hold one side.

I am not seeing live but seems he is not doing anything stupid.

he did play some foolish shots when he was under pressure but now he looks in control

 

[Ahmad]

Misbah gone... lbw to clarke.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Misbah out LBW

 

[Inswinger]

The new kid seems to have good temperament. Even after early losses he is ready to go slow but hold one side.

I am not seeing live but seems he is not doing anything stupid.

That's the key right there. As long as your batsmen have good temperament you won;t see the choke jobs like the one in the last match.

 

[insaftak]

misbah sucks

 

[Ahmad]

The sweep did him in.

 

[Inswinger]

Misbah gone... lbw to clarke.

I knew Clarke would get him.

He's trying to entice the batsman to go after him. Must resist the temptation Misbah!!!!!!

 

[Da Best]

Good stuff from Misbah, lets pick up the here.

 

[lakha84]

out

 

[Da Best]

The sweep again!!

 

[Ahmad]

Mailk's out in the middle. Shahzad giving him some pointers on the pitch..

 

[TaZ]

Arrrgggghhh

 

[Sheikh]

Terrible timing, really needed those two to keep going. Misbah throws away another start.

I hope Malik can get going soon.

 

[Da Best]

Malik in. Pace should pick up from here.

 

[Ahmad]

81/3.. 25 one.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Look at Misbah's SR, it's 45.33, just pathetic.

 

[Inswinger]

Look at Misbah's SR, it's 45.33, just pathetic.

Go back to your IPL

 

[Osman]

hopefully a blessing in disguise .... Malik is a good player of spin should pick up the pace here ....

 

[Da Best]

Malik gets a single.

 

[insaftak]

Look at Misbah's SR, it's 45.33, just pathetic.

whose strike rate is good today, its unfair to pick on his strike rate

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah got a start and threw it away! Poor poor stuff.

 

[Sheikh]

These two need to bat for another 15 overs, setting up the last 10 for a bit of a slog-fest.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Don't you guys feel that with Ahmed Shehzad, his weak offside play is actually a blessing in disguise?

It means he is less prone to chasing, and nicking a wide one, something which our openers have mastered the art of..

 

[Ahmad]

Shahzad plays a very risky scoop over the keeper.. for a single only..!

 

[Da Best]

Another single for Malik sahib.

 

[Sheikh]

If I was Clarke I'd bring up the mid-on and mid-off, tempting the batsman to go over the top.

 

[Sheikh]

I really think Clarke can hear my thoughts.

 

[Da Best]

Hauritz is easy pickings today.

 

[TaZ]

any links?

 

[Ahmad]

Malik playing well here... keeps the strike rotating.

 

[Ahmad]

another arial shot by shahzad.. gets three..
