Pakistan v Australia | CT 2009 | Centurion | 30/9/09 | Pak Inns

[Inswinging Yorker]

i could feel your pain as misbah painfully bats out the last few overs to save this test match )

 

[PapaBear]

Thrive on these feelings while they are there, its not every day that you are happy either way win or lose!!

 

[saeed-sohail]

guys savour the moment we are watching the great ul haq for the last time.

 

[WNC]

And what the **** is wrong with this crappy Lankan commentator?It's the second time today he's mixed India with Pakistan. First he commented that Malik's century against Pakistan was good and now he comments that Yousuf played a good innings against the Pakistanis.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

so who exactly are we going to score off? even hauritz is looking like taking a wicket anytime

Be patient. These 2 have played a lot of cricket and must know how to read a pitch better than us.

Besides I would rather have Pak play against NZ in semis than Eng. Remember 92 WC.........

 

[Random Aussie]

Desi sites and their pop up ads

 

[Poison]

This pitch will turn into a very good batting wicket once the Australians start batting.

India will be knocked out

*yay celebrations*

NZ at the Wanderers?! Ya good luck.

 

[OZGOD]

Should have gone for 2 then, golden chance lost

 

[the true passionist]

For day games: avg first innings is 229 but most games have been won by team batting 2nd.

 

[tahaqureshi]

average one day score only 229

 

[bluffmasterv2]

I cant even remember the last time Misbah hit a six

 

[sehban]

147/4 39

 

[coy0607]

btw have pakistan ever played well when their was no pressure on them, and everyone was expected them to do well.

 

[OZGOD]

Horroritz needs to grow a beard or get some facial tattoos or something to look more fearsome.

 

[Kamranz]

I Hate Misbah's batting seriously If it was for Twenty20 2007 when he was instant Hit. He wouldn't be here right now.

At the end of the day 20/20 World cup he didn't do much anyway, We lost becuz of him in the finals.

Don't know how he can come up before Umar Akmal and Fawad alam.

Must be obsessed with Pakistan. I don't blame him. Our team is full of dashing personalities, as it is.

 

[OZGOD]

They should take the batting powerplay now, to get some of the fielders into the circle.

 

[FM87]

India will be knocked out

*yay celebrations*

Dude, you people are too obsessed with India.

 

[taaveez]

What I remember from 92 WC is that we didn't lose a game in our final winning streak. SO if you want to lose to play NZ, that may be your last game.

 

[slix10]

Can't wait till Rana comes on this pitch... and starts smacking all over.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

NZ at the Wanderers?! Ya good luck.

I don't recall NZ playing the final of a major tournament. The probabilities favor us.

 

[WNC]

How much run do they expect to score in the last ten overs? I say 70 at the max and that won't help us post a much imposing total. I expect Aussies to win by this 5 wickets or more now....

 

[saeed-sohail]

btw have pakistan ever played well when their was no pressure on them, and everyone was expected them to do well.

No! We even lose against BD and Ind in non important games.

 

[the true passionist]

They should take the batting powerplay now, to get some of the fielders into the circle.

and not even be able to score at 2 rpo

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

History doesn't exactly repeat but it does rhyme!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan inns still going along slowly. No real Increase in tempo!

Will be lucky to get 220 here!

 

[Seen Sheen]

I cant even remember the last time Misbah hit a six

it was in 1965 I guess

 

[Juggernaut]

Ok guys just turned on the game.

150 off 40.

What the hell!

Before I go criticising anyone can I ask is the pitch really that difficult to bat one?

Whats a good score on this?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

) ) )

maybe he is suffering from srilankawent homeacitis )

 

[Maula Jutt]

We aint winning this one. Not because of the probable total or pitch or anything. But just because the drive to win is just not there in Pakistani players in this match. They're taking it as net practice.

 

[godzilla]

that was plumb! misbah should have gone! unless he was just outside the line. i would have given it. maybe misbah should retire anyway.

 

[slix10]

I don't recall NZ playing the final of a major tournament. The probabilities favor us.

There's a first for everything

 

[taaveez]

wow, ponting relieved that misbah wasn't given out...

 

[the true passionist]

will we reach 200? not if these two stay not out, i guess.

 

[cricketpassion]

They should take the batting powerplay now, to get some of the fielders into the circle.

No please not with yousef and misbah .it will be wasted

 

[Maula Jutt]

Misbah hits a 4. *gets a minor stroke*

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

That is the thing i admire about aus...they dont take anything for granted...they try to win every match

 

[Seen Sheen]

I don't recall NZ playing the final of a major tournament. The probabilities favor us.

But the probability favours NZ in Champions Trophy..

 

[slix10]

Can't wait till Rana comes on this pitch... and starts smacking all over.

That is if they let him on the pitch

 

[arsalan660]

4 for Ul Haq atlast.

 

[Looney]

Misbah hit a four! somebody pinch me

 

[the Great Khan]

pakistan aint bovered..looks like they are determined to send India packing no matter what!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan playing a test match here!

 

[taaveez]

it will be unfair pressure on u akmal once more.. asking him to slog in the last 5 overs.

 

[godzilla]

i take it all back, misbah has a better sr than yousuf.

why would yousuf play a reverse sweep with a short third man?

 

[saeed-sohail]

Is 264 still on?

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

220 might be defendable.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Pakistan playing a test match here!

yea they batting for time

 

[Looney]

Cricinfo is so slow for me. I hope they are not getting heart attacks because of Pakistan.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

But the probability favours NZ in Champions Trophy..

I never knew we had a kiwi supporter on this forum

 

[arsalan660]

Pakistan practicing how to save wickets.

 

[cricketpassion]

Is 264 still on?

No I dont think so .I will be happy with 240 even now .

 

[Maula Jutt]

Is 264 still on?

260 for me.

 

[WNC]

Moyo should get out now.

 

[FM87]

220 might be defendable.

Aussies will chase this score in 35 overs.

 

[mindless slogging]

No I dont think so .I will be happy with 240 even now .

I don't think we'll get that. I reckon 230 at best.

 

[arsalan660]

Umar Akmal should come before Misbah

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Moyo needs to get out now..

 

[the true passionist]

what nonsense? we have 6 wkts in hand and no shots attempted!

 

[RexRex]

chances are out the window now...pak sticking the knife in india 's back and twisting it ever so slowly.

 

[shahzadddd]

165 /4 after 43

10 an over 235
9 an over 228
8 an over 221
7 an over 214
6 an over 207

 

[cricketpassion]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD these two need to score fast now .nuffffff

 

[WNC]

I don't think we'll get that. I reckon 230 at best.

We'd be lucky to get 200 if Yousuf has his way....

 

[the true passionist]

Rana Naved and Gul will do a better job.

 

[saeed-sohail]

After kami no one showed intent. This was the time to make a statement.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Moyo and Misbah making sure that India dont get through

 

[xbox]

Y not just take the damn batting power play

 

[DonJee]

max 190 is my prediction! Pretty boring cricket from misbah and yousuf, they can't play MJ!

 

[taaveez]

moyo taking 5 balls to score a single in the 44th over...

 

[Poison]

LOL at the cricbuzz guy :

Johnson to Yousuf, no run, slower delivery outside off this time, he walks across and drives it straight to cover, one cannot understand the tactics of Yousuf here, strange!

Losing his mind )

 

[Serendipity]

just started watching..........is misbah playing for his place in Team? 42 from 71 balls or so, 6 overs to go????????????????

what is going on?

 

[mindless slogging]

Where the **** is the intent?

Atleast pretend to hit out to shut us up!!!

 

[cricketpassion]

 

[Kean0]

umar akmal wasted

 

[bluffmasterv2]

1 run off the 43rd over, quite unbelievable..

 

[Khurram]

*** are they doing ? take batting power play and start hitting some boundries.

 

[pak4life]

After kami no one showed intent. This was the time to make a statement.

its a very slow pitch the ball is not coming on to the bat you cant expect 300 all the time.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Six wickets in hand and 6 overs left. Lose a wicket an over but for God's sake, score!! Balla ghumao!

Has the Govt of Pak started slapping a tax on players who score over 30?

 

[FM87]

Moyo and Misbah making sure that India dont get through

As if beating Australia will be easier than India in the final.
