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

[MIG]

is it the way the strap dangles? dont like that either ...

I mean sure, Misbah and YK also had that problem but Malik had a chance to make it right and what does he do? How long can we say "bechara, galat size kee helmet pehan lee" ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 singles off 4 balls so far.

 

[Ahmad]

A quiet over from Clarke.. 3 off it.

 

[Inswinger]

all eyes on afridi again, i want him to bat half hour

I don't want to see him in the middle for a long time. This partnership needs to carry us for another 15 overs.

 

[MIG]

Afridi in the last 5 overs to propel us to 250+ ! Now thats a sight I want to see.

 

[Inswinger]

I cant tell your bored.

 

[Ahmad]

that goes through everything..! Turned sharply. 116/3..

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Score update please

 

[tauseefm]

116/3 31.4 overs

 

[insaftak]

116/3 33 overs

 

[insaftak]

oops 32

 

[Ahmad]

He;s heaved it into the sky... gets out at long on.. in hauritz's last over..

 

[MIG]

Shehzad goes.

 

[Ahmad]

Shahzad gone for 43 off 81 deliveries.

 

[ItsMeK1]

shehzad gone

 

[Inswinger]

Damn it. Just need singles at this stage.

 

[MIG]

And the jungle rumbles.... Afridi on his way in

 

[OZGOD]

Man this pitch must be so hard to score on. This series has reminded me of ODIs that used to be played 20 years ago.

 

[insaftak]

shehzad is going to get ou, he is playing horrible shots

and he goes

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Thanks for the update guys

damn - we lost another wicket

 

[tauseefm]

Shehzad goes.

probably malik told him to hit six!

 

[Ahmad]

He should've stuck around for another five overs before opening up. Now Afridi/ Akmal will be in that uncertain zone; where they need to restraint the hitting as there are a decent number of overs left.

 

[Da Best]

Shehzad goes, hope Afridi comes.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Man this pitch must be so hard to score on. This series has reminded me of ODIs that used to be played 20 years ago.

its kinda refreshing - was getting sick of the 300 + scores

 

[Osman]

oh dear Malik gone .... whos in next?

 

[pak4life]

way too early for afridi to come in would have prefered akmal at this stage.

 

[Inswinger]

Please send in Kamran!!!!
We can;t afford another quick wicket here.

 

[Ahmad]

116/4 after 32 overs.

 

[Inswinger]

oh dear Malik gone .... whos in next?

Are you serious????????????

 

[IMMY69]

we need afridi to bat for 10/12 overs...otherwise it will be 115/130 for 5

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

They should opt to take the 3rd batting powerplay here...

 

[Da Best]

Whose in?

 

[ItsMeK1]

Man this pitch must be so hard to score on. This series has reminded me of ODIs that used to be played 20 years ago.

crutator seriously don't know what is difference between ODI pitch and TEST pitch

 

[tauseefm]

Afridi at number 6? doesn't really make sense. i would send Akaml ahead of Afridi

 

[insaftak]

Are you serious????????????

malik hater i guess

 

[Osman]

Are you serious????????????

woops sorry ...meant Shehzad

 

[Osman]

malik hater i guess

lol nope ... if you read my above posts quite the opposite

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor shot by shezad. Just lost his head when there was no need to!

 

[Da Best]

C'mon Afridi.

 

[Osman]

he has arrived

 

[Ahmad]

Afridi's facing Clarke here. Lets hope he can keep his pants on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 116/4 after 32 overs

come on boom boom!

 

[Osman]

Poor shot by shezad. Just lost his head when there was no need to!

indeed .... lets hope he doesn't become another Yasir Hameed

 

[insaftak]

half hour from afridi would be nice here

 

[Inswinger]

Pak 116/4 after 32 overs

come on boom boom!

No boom boom!!
Just singles for the next 10 overs!!!

 

[Da Best]

BOOM BOOM Afridi. C'mon

 

[Ahmad]

Afridi lobs it out to deep cover... for a couple of runs.

 

[Sheikh]

Bad timing again, just like the last wicket that went down.

Afridi in, if he stays until the 37th or 38th, we should take the powerplay.

 

[Osman]

perhaps Akmal should have come in before Afridi but lets see

 

[Inswinger]

indeed .... lets hope he doesn't become another Yasir Hameed

Way too early for that comparison.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to stop losing wickets when batsmen are getting set! Big totals are build on basis of big individual scores!

 

[OZGOD]

its kinda refreshing - was getting sick of the 300 + scores

It's been refreshing seeing batsmen struggling and scratching around for runs. Unfortunately it hasn't always been to brilliant bowling though!

 

[Amjid Javed]

10-15 overs of afridi would be ideal.

 

[Ahmad]

120/4.. end of the over.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

true - this series has had some AWFUL shots by the batsmen, schoolboy stuff

 

[rhussain33]

ok we got about 17 overs to get another 100 runs, anything over will be a bonus.

what u reckon they will get, these two need to get a bit of a partnership and stablity going first. then they can explode.

 

[Osman]

should Pakistan take the powerplay now? Malik is settled and with Afridi in might be a good choice ....

 

[Ahmad]

Symonds into the attack here.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Symonds introduced to entice Afridi to hit...

If Afridi can hang about then we can get close to 250

 

[Ahmad]

Afridi works it down to deep midwicket for 2.

 

[Osman]

Symonds vs Afridi... going to be interesting! i dont suppose he will be bowling seam up

 

[rhussain33]

Boycott rating afridis 2 runs... well done chap

 

[Ahmad]

Tries to sweep it hard.. hits the bottom of the bat.. next balls played very fine for a boundary down to third man.

 

[insaftak]

afridi with a choka

 

[ItsMeK1]

two well played shots by afridi in this over

 

[rhussain33]

boundary ... cut very fine for 4 by afridi....

 

[Ahmad]

Just heard afridi saying' malik aath ho gaay'.. malik ends the over with a single. nine off it.

 

[Inswinger]

Stay calm Lala!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik needs to get as close to a hundred here as poss and a boom boom 50 needed!

Pak 129/4 after 34 overs

 

[ItsMeK1]

what a shot by afridi 44444444444444444444444444

 

[rhussain33]

what a pwerful shot afridi... bang 4 runs

 

[insaftak]

what a shot!!!!!!!!!!! lala

 

[Ahmad]

Brilliant drive by afridi..!! Smashed to long off.. rocket.

 

[tauseefm]

Short of the day so far by Afridi!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

wow! wot a shot!

Crashed directly through the fielder!

 

[Sheikh]

Lovely shot by Afridi. Cracking extra cover drive.

 

[Ahmad]

Great running by these two here... really pushing it back to the aussies.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Afridi turning it ON!

 

[Momo]

Afridi looking in good touch.
