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

[ItsMeK1]

for a change afridi is playing very sensible *wink* *wink*

 

[Amjid Javed]

Afridi beginning to fire up here!

 

[Sheikh]

Good comeback by Clarke. Got one to nip away off the surface.

 

[Ahmad]

Another fine shot down to third man..!! Another 4..! 140 /4

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

4!!!!

 

[rhussain33]

4 runs afridi, wicked

 

[Sheikh]

Touche Shahid, touche.

 

[Inswinger]

Afridi has such great hand-eye coordination he should never get out. He's aggressiveness has really hurt him

 

[ItsMeK1]

Short of the day so far by Afridi!

naaah younis khan last shot was Shot of the Day for me

 

[insaftak]

another 4, that was actually well played

 

[Inswinger]

Just a single now. 10 runs in the bank for this over.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi has such great hand-eye coordination he should never get out. He's aggressiveness has really hurt him

Apparently his hand-eye-coordination has gone.

Boycott, as always, was spot on with his analysis. Afridi is an instinctive player, not a technical player. When you play like that - you need a bit of luck, and thing will happen.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 140/4 after 35 overs.

15 overs to go... if malik/Afridi/Akmal get runs pakistan maybe can get 220 here!

 

[Sheikh]

We should use the power-play soon. Little tricky to do so right after the drinks break. Maybe after an over or two?

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Pak 140/4 after 35 overs.

15 overs to go... if malik/Afridi/Akmal get runs pakistan maybe can get 220 here!

More like 250 if by the end only these three of them play!

 

[Garuda]

240 looks possible now. Ofcourse if Pak doesn't loose wickets in next 10 overs.

 

[Inswinger]

240 looks possible now. Ofcourse if Pak doesn't loose wickets in next 10 overs.

Yaar, don't jinx us!!!

 

[Ahmad]

Malik lbw to bollinger... darn..!!!!

 

[ItsMeK1]

malik goneeeeee

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Oh no, Malik gone

 

[Inswinger]

Sh!t!!!

 

[insaftak]

shoaib gone, this sucks, y can't our batter stay when they are set

 

[ItsMeK1]

Yaar, don't jinx us!!!

indeed he did

 

[Momo]

240 looks possible now. Ofcourse if Pak doesn't loose wickets in next 10 overs.

If Pak doesn't lose a wicket till over 45, Afridi would have scored a hundred.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Yaar, don't jinx us!!!

too late

 

[Inswinger]

3 batsmen out after getting set.

 

[Ahmad]

Very sad to see. Really. Each time they seem to be getting things right, they just throw it away.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Shoaib Malik lbw b Bollinger 27 (33b 1x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

 

[tauseefm]

well played malik but we really needed him at this point.. aahhh "ab kaya patchtana jub chiriyan chug gai khet"

 

[Ahmad]

A very ordinary effort by team pakistan.

 

[Inswinger]

Shoaib Malik lbw b Bollinger 27 (33b 1x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

Stop rubbing it in!

 

[Sheikh]

Oh dear, it's one of those days. Akmal needs to stand up here.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

They need to take the powerplays now, before we get into the tailenders. Akmal and Afridi can do some serious damage here...

 

[Imran_m]

Extremely soft dismissal that

 

[Sheikh]

Stop rubbing it in!

That too, cutting and pasting from Cricindia!

 

[Ahmad]

4 over throws... but very very risky. could have been run out. fridi.

 

[ItsMeK1]

5 runs for afridi .. without even slogging

 

[IMMY69]

Extremely soft dismissal that

not really...that was actually a good delivery...it wasnt a wicket given away..i.e. cross batted crap, or out truying to hit it out of the park

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

LOL Afridi gets 4 overthrows

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik gone, once again pakistan on back foot.

 

[Ahmad]

145/5 end of the ove3r.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Stop rubbing it in!

Shoaib Malik lbw b Bollinger 27 (33b 1x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Shoaib Malik lbw b Bollinger 27 (33b 1x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

Thats why I hate Malik ,hes just not a player to win you matches.

 

[Adeel786]

heart in mouth everytime afridi is facing

 

[insaftak]

Shoaib Malik lbw b Bollinger 27 (33b 1x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

 

[Inswinger]

Shoaib Malik lbw b Bollinger 27 (33b 1x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

yaar, bohat kamina inssan hai tu!

 

[insaftak]

Thats why I hate Malik ,hes just not a player to win you matches.

there we go mig bahi

 

[Inswinger]

Thats why I hate Malik ,hes just not a player to win you matches.

Who is in this team??????????

 

[Inswinger]

there we go mig bahi

Some guys will never give it up.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Use the powerplay!

 

[ItsMeK1]

kamran gone

 

[Ahmad]

Akmal's knocked over. clean bowled.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Who is in this team??????????

You know who

 

[rhussain33]

Akmal gone, clean bowled.

 

[NeVerMind]

It says something that only one of our players have made a score of more than 50 in the tournament so far (Butt's much derided effortin the second ODI).

 

[Inswinger]

Use the powerplay!

I think we'll see it at the 40 over mark.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

yaar, bohat kamina inssan hai tu!

Yaar, leg pulling ka mazaa hi kuch aur hain !!

 

[ItsMeK1]

Use the powerplay!

let our tail come

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Why are we not taking powerplays when we can use them? Are we seriously not going to even take them?

 

[Inswinger]

damn it

 

[Phuzz]

this pakistan team are a bunch of clowns.. serious embarassment

 

[Inswinger]

Akmal gone, clean bowled.

serious?

 

[pacman]

Afridi bowled

edit. it was akmal

 

[rhussain33]

What the heck is happening here man, i dont get it, why are they collapsing again, flip me

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Yea cheers Malik - way to go to kill the momentum. Deserves to be dropped like a bad habit..

 

[tauseefm]

Afridi bowled

That was Akmal

 

[NeVerMind]

let our tail come

Dude the tail came in when Butt was out in the first over!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

YK must be under serious pressure right now.
Hope he will not resign.

 

[MIG]

Atleast this time around, most have fallen to good bowling...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan just self-exploding as usual!

 

[MIG]

Yea cheers Malik - way to go to kill the momentum. Deserves to be dropped like a bad habit..

Sorry but he is the one who got the momentum going...

 

[Ahmad]

145/6.. 37 gone.

Looking very very bleak for Pakistan here.

The innings never got going really. A couple of very promising partnerships. But they were just that. Promising. Never materialized into anything solid.

 

[Momo]

As long as Afridi is there, anything (250) is possible.

 

[Sheikh]

Akmal's such an average odi batter.

Becomes a survival jig now, gotta see out the 50.

 

[NeVerMind]

Score to beat is 207 - our highest so far...

 

[ItsMeK1]

Dude the tail came in when Butt was out in the first over!

) ) )

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Some guys will never give it up.

Same Malik will never past 50odd score (and 27 in this case )

 

[Inswinger]

YK must be under serious pressure right now.
Hope he will not resign.

I hope he sits out the nest match. Would be a good example for the rest of the team. You don't do your job and your out of the team.

 

[MIG]

200 is the target now

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Yea cheers Malik - way to go to kill the momentum. Deserves to be dropped like a bad habit..

Have patience. What if he knocks over the Aussies with his bowling ??
