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

[Luton Bad Boy]

What is the difference between a painstaking 45 off (69) deliveries from Yousuf and 76 off 110 deliveries from Dravid???

 

[Noman]

I really hope this is a hard wicket to bat on because sometime it look like Yousuf plays for his average...

 

[Poison]

Yousuf out, that should be end of his career. What a feeble performance.

You are a bad troll.

 

[sajsultan]

damn Misbah

 

[Noman]

The difference is Dravid does not havethe talent or have his limitation....

Yousuf plays for his average or what?

 

[who_dares]

Pak should aim for atleast 190

 

[sajsultan]

You are a bad troll.

he is being honest

 

[shahzadddd]

heres whats gonna happen.. the score is low.. aussies will come firing at our bowlers.. arid and gul will both give more the 10 rpo, their confidence will be totally shot and down the toilet, they will get critisism from media and country and will perform even more poorly in the semis..

I love the level of optimism on this forum

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

PONTING WON THE TOSS AND DECIDED TO BOWL.. helloo?

 

[thurkeebaba]

I wonder what the indians are making of this. Might pop over to one of their forums to check

yeah, let us know what they are saying

 

[Random Aussie]

Oh wow

 

[Bobbins]

Revenge is a dish best served cold, looks a bit chilly out there.

 

[mindless slogging]

Par score is 220 I think.

We won't make that I don't think.

 

[Random Aussie]

Cricindia totally failing now.

 

[ace_allrounder]

Is the Pakistan team doing this on purpose?..So as to kick India out.They even picked Asif and Misbah.
Fawad should have been picked.Misbah can just retire

 

[sajsultan]

I love the level of optimism on this forum

well what do you expect when our team is blatantly and obviously throwing the match away.. its pissing me of, we should play to win.. I have bragged on their integrity and fair play to everyone and now they will embarrass me and the nation.

 

[Random Aussie]

If Pakistan team could lose match on purpose it would logically follow that they can win match whenever they want. So why do they not?

 

[shahzadddd]

189-5 47.1

 

[the Great Khan]

Yawn..is there a match on?

 

[Noman]

Well this is not a batting wicket, but only afridi,Akmal and Malik did show intent to score fast.. YOunis did stuggling and Yousuf too, So I think this is a wicket which is hard to bat on.. Misbha is you know what.. But Yousuf really should have tried to increase the run rate somehow..

 

[Poison]

he is being honest

You are also a bad troll.

 

[MIG]

Indian fans with a DOS attack on Cricinfo....Guys no pointing refreshing screens there - we will let you knwo when your officially out

 

[mindless slogging]

PONTING WON THE TOSS AND DECIDED TO BOWL.. helloo?

he didn't win the toss to dictate how Pakistan should play.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Misbah is damn entertaining

 

[Serendipity]

out a bloody bat to it Misbah

 

[Khabri420]

Come on Misbah just hit the damn ball..can't be leaving balls

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Why did Misbah leave that .. sigh

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

I dont want to see misbah in pak jersey again!

 

[Random Aussie]

well what do you expect when our team is blatantly and obviously throwing the match away.. its pissing me of, we should play to win.. I have bragged on their integrity and fair play to everyone and now they will embarrass me and the nation.

Settle down there Australian team is not exactly Bangladesh.

Although I know we are on top if Watson is bowling in the 47th over.

 

[slix10]

The difference is Dravid does not havethe talent or have his limitation....

Yousuf plays for his average or what?

His limitation? Dravid is world class man.

 

[OZGOD]

It's not the easiest wicket to bat on but the OZ bowlers have bowled well overall

 

[FM87]

Is this power play?

 

[Serendipity]

disciplined sensiobel bowling by aussies

 

[Poison]

well what do you expect when our team is blatantly and obviously throwing the match away.. its pissing me of, we should play to win.. I have bragged on their integrity and fair play to everyone and now they will embarrass me and the nation.

I'm sorry they have offended you. On behalf of the Pakistan team please accept a full and unconditional apology. Grow the hell up you loser, the wicket is not flat, we are batting poorly.

 

[DonJee]

this may well be his last innings for Pakistan!!

 

[Bobbins]

Awwww you guys seem really worried about India, pity they don't give a **** about us.

 

[who_dares]

good over so far for pakistan 3 from it

 

[Juggernaut]

I didn't pay to see you play you fat ****.

Get Umar Akmal on strike you silly ****.

This guy is seriosuly getting on my nerves.

The match has been boring so far anyone. Misbah's just sucking the life out of it.

 

[shahzadddd]

I think Pak will get around 210 ... The game will be Austalia's to lose , but we still have a game

 

[Noman]

Im not watching this match???

Is misbah really leaving balls at the end of the match?

 

[sehban]

even umar is struggling to time the ball

 

[cricketpassion]

Please keep updating the score .crapinfo is gone realy crap

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Misbah is damn entertaining

this pitch looks harder than j'berg at this point...great job Pakistan...i hope this isn't on purpose bc in that case we might be digging our own grave...NZ at wanderers won't be easy

 

[the true passionist]

Akmal looks so much better...He needs to be promoted in the order.

 

[mindless slogging]

Well this is not a batting wicket, but only afridi,Akmal and Malik did show intent to score fast.. YOunis did stuggling and Yousuf too, So I think this is a wicket which is hard to bat on.. Misbha is you know what.. But Yousuf really should have tried to increase the run rate somehow..

Australia's previous matches have had rubbish wickets aswell. From the little I caught of this match (over 30+) this wicket is actually better than their previous wickets.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

he didn't win the toss to dictate how Pakistan should play.

maybe it is not possible to score 300+ on every pitch you bat on?

let's see how the Aussie chase shapes up? before you guys start accusing YOUR OWN PLAYERS for deliberately losing a match.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Good bowling by Watto.

 

[who_dares]

I'm sorry they have offended you. On behalf of the Pakistan team please accept a full and unconditional apology. Grow the hell up you loser, the wicket is not flat, we are batting poorly.

That was rude

 

[ace_allrounder]

If Pakistan team could lose match on purpose it would logically follow that they can win match whenever they want. So why do they not?

No way.

Pakistan are doing their worst.And plus,they picked Misbah over Fawad.Asif in because they want to test his fitness.Means taking this match lightly.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Cricindia totally failing now.

It seems more than half their staff is Indian. They are probably scattered all over the floor, passed out.

 

[Juggernaut]

Just missed the last ball.

Who's on strike?

 

[cricketpassion]

I didn't pay to see you play you fat ****.

Get Umar Akmal on strike you silly ****.

This guy is seriosuly getting on my nerves.

The match has been boring so far anyone. Misbah's just sucking the life out of it.

I hope thats his last match ..dont want to see him anymore in the team

 

[OZGOD]

LOL it's funny listening to you guys sometimes. They're not facing bowling machines out there, the OZ are bowling pretty disciplined lines, Dubya has been changing them around to avoid the batsmen settling and the wicket has been a bit variable. It's not like you can score 10rpo at will.

 

[Serendipity]

that one shot, at least one in last two overs, which makes you feel like you can actually hit the ball cleanly and score!!

 

[ahb23]

even umar is struggling to time the ball

He really should have been moved up the order to spend some time at the crease and find some form going into the semi's.

 

[Noman]

Maybe Team Pakistan want to play against New Zealand... we have Asif and aamir on a seaming tracks.which is great. and Umar too..batsman are practicing how to stay at the wicket!!!

 

[IMMY69]

so is umar akmal rubbish too???

 

[slix10]

Pak 193/5

(48.5 Ovs)

 

[Serendipity]

great quick bowling by Lee

 

[sajsultan]

48.3Lee to Umar Akmal, no run, looks to heave a length delivery on middle over mid wicket, misses it, so far they've scored 19 runs off the 21 delivery in the power-play

shameful to say the least

 

[OZGOD]

that being said, Pak haven't batted with enough urgency. Paine drops a sitter

 

[Khurram]

9 runs from 22 balls in powerplay. that tells alot

 

[Serendipity]

lucky if u get 200 here teh wa it is going,

 

[who_dares]

200 anyone

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Paine is an undercover Indian agent. BCCI conspiracy shapes up.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

What was Paine doing there?

 

[asifp]

Aussie fast bowlers making us look like school boys out therr

 

[Poison]

Umar trying his heart out.

Oh well lets see how the Aussies play.

Tim Paine is havign an awful day behind the stumps.

 

[Noman]

Well, yeah bat atleast try to do something.. there are playing like England-.-

 

[Khabri420]

Akmal has Misbahitis

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

honestly this Pakistan team that showed up today doesn't give a squat about this match...its easy to say you care...but u can see they don't give a sh*t

 

[OZGOD]

I don't know why Pakistan decided to change their batting lineup again. Why not just settle on a lineup and stick to it?

 

[Bobbins]

193/5 49 overs

 

[Cheguvera]

Umar Akmal is overrated...Brett Lee just proved that to all the fan boys...

 

[IMMY69]

its not going to be easy for the aussies...although another 30 runs would have been nice

 

[mindless slogging]

maybe it is not possible to score 300+ on every pitch you bat on?

let's see how the Aussie chase shapes up? before you guys start accusing YOUR OWN PLAYERS for deliberately losing a match.

OK when did playing POSITIVE equate to scoring 300 on every wicket.

And when did criticizing tactics become ''accussing YOUR PLAYERS for deliberately losing a match''?

Think before you post.

 

[Khurram]

They should take powerplay from over 40 to 45 when they have wickets inn hand

 

[arsalan660]

19 in 4 powerplay overs.

Shame

 

[who_dares]

1 run from 49th over 193-5

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

One good thing about Misbahs batting is that inda wont make it to the semis.
