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

[Noman]

We need 200 on the board to get at match out of it..

 

[OZGOD]

Good advice from Chappelli on keeping - "don't ever assume that the batsman will hit the ball, assume the bat is not there and that you will always be taking the ball"

 

[Random Aussie]

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.

Ok Pakistan are trying to lose the match then.

Why don't they just make 100 all out then?

You are good poster but this idea is bakwaas, hai.

 

[sajsultan]

this is so freaking shitty.. I am gonna avoid work to avoid the embarrasnment.. 2 runs in the second last overs

 

[Bobbins]

[fawad_wellwisher]

19 year showing his inexperience!

 

[OZGOD]

Good to see 3 Ozzies in the top 10 fastest balls bowled int he tournament, with Pelt and MJ at 1 and 3.

 

[ahb23]

lol .. haven't even reached 200 with 5 wickets in hand !! Indians must be pissed.

 

[Serendipity]

at freaking last!

 

[OZGOD]

*** was that from Twatson??? Full toss we dont need that

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah accidentally hits a four...

 

[Poison]

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

Yup exactly I mean I expected him to come in and hit every single ball (bowled at 90mph mind you) out of the stadium. Some posters...

 

[Maula Jutt]

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.

Exactly what I have been thinking. We need to see both sides perform before we can start putting our team down for their performance.

 

[Khurram]

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

Every batsmenn need to get inn before playing shorts. He came for 4 overs ago ? He is not "hitter" but a good batsmenn

 

[Usman Chadda]

IMO the light isn't great either, so the batsmen are struggling to go for their shots. Moyo and Misbah took this into consideration and went the safe route, rather than risk throwing their wicket away with this disadvantage

Or, maybe they just don't give a crap today

 

[shahzadddd]

197-5 49.2

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah hogging the strike. Loser.

 

[Random Aussie]

This place will be funny if Pakistan go on to win this match.

Ok Pakistan are trying to lose the match then.

You are good poster but this idea is bakwaas, hai.

I see why you're irked RA. We've played pretty rubbish, pure and simple. But ! I reserve any judgement until after we bowl.

 

[OZGOD]

Need to look to push singles at least at any opportunity.

Ian Chappell giving the Pak batsmen a spray for only scoring 23 runs so far in the batting powerplay

 

[arsalan660]

Misbah Hit wicket

 

[Khurram]

HAHAHA look at that out

 

[sajsultan]

if they are batting horridly on purposely what makes you think our bowlers will come and do great.. watch for gul and asif to bowl under hand and give the match away in 10 overs.. i will be surprised to see a pitch over 80 mph

 

[Bobbins]

Misbah hit wicket OUT

 

[ace_allrounder]

Ok Pakistan are trying to lose the match then.

Why don't they just make 100 all out then?

You are good poster but this idea is bakwaas, hai.

Hahaha...I'm not gonna argue with you now!
That last two words and "Indians phir ro rahe hain"(a few days ago) are epic

 

[Khurram]

Why not he could get out before ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

) ) )

Oh Misbah...

 

[OZGOD]

I see why you're irked RA. We've played pretty rubbish, pure and simple.

If I had to venture a guess it's because our bowlers aren't getting much credit lol.

 

[Khabri420]

) Misbah you beauty!

 

[cricketisit]

is misbah crazy? khiska hua hai kya ye sala

 

[Serendipity]

two boundaries in batting power play by Pak....none any thing to do with batting skills

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

haha @ Misbah....

LMAO

 

[DonJee]

What a legend!!!

Thou shall be remembered for funny ways of getting out oh MR. Misbah!

 

[OZGOD]

LOL what a woeful way to go, trod on your wicket )

 

[Juggernaut]

This place will be funny if Pakistan go on to win this match.

Win or no win this is just frustratingly painful to watch.

First YK bore's the pants off of me now Misbah.

And the silly fool treads on his stumps.

Serves him right.

 

[slix10]

When was the last time AUS was bowled out for 200?

 

[Momo]

Mishap finds another way of getting out.

LOL

 

[OZGOD]

And Ian Chappell says "well that's one way to help the score towards 200"

 

[karachiite]

this is comical

 

[aamir]

Mr. walking bizzaro wicket, figures out yet another oddball way to get out

 

[who_dares]

thats how you play :rana

 

[taaveez]

expect some match fixing allegations to come out of this bizarre performance.

 

[Juggernaut]

Mishap finds another way of getting out.

LOL

Honestly that should be the end of it for him.

 

[shahzadddd]

202-6 2 balls to go

 

[Khurram]

yaaa RANA 444444444444444 but too late

 

[Bobbins]

444444444444444 Rana

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rana's first ball, smashed for four. In the slot that was

 

[the true passionist]

Pathetic...We are atleast 30-40 runs short of a competitive score...and Dhoni was going to field a team based on the first innings of this match..He better not field one.

 

[OZGOD]

6/202, 4444444444444444 from Rana

 

[Serendipity]

thats hwo you freaking hit the bloody ball - apols for french

 

[shane]

Commentators keep calling this a "strange innings" from Palistan. They know exactly what is going on - everybody knows. And whatever their motive, it is match-fixing pure and simple.

 

[saeed-sohail]

A fitting end to misbah,s career.

 

[Bobbins]

204/6 49.5

 

[Tapori]

Many will say we miss Afridi/Razzaq down the order.

Some will question the 3rd PP/Misbah and Yousuf.

If Austrailia knock this out in under 45 then the above may be true - I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the pitch/batsmen - on another day this might have been all out for 139!

 

[atiff_uk]

what crap performance.. i dont expect any pakistan bowler to less then 4 runs an over.. Australia have an easy target.. didnt whatch watch all of it but was the bowling that good? or did we just take our time with the batting..

We can can still win but some early wickets and tight overs are needed badly.

 

[who_dares]

206 to win for AUS

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

If I had to venture a guess it's because our bowlers aren't getting much credit lol.

I agree. Aussie bowlers have most of the conditions here.

 

[Bobbins]

205/6 END INNINGS, Nice, India well pleased.

 

[Tapori]

Poor Misbah.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pitch is uneven and on the slow side. Rana's slower deliveries will be lethal if he gets them right

 

[Random Aussie]

I see why you're irked RA. We've played pretty rubbish, pure and simple. But ! I reserve any judgement until after we bowl.

Does get annoying Poison, yes batters could have done better but we are not hacks at the game of cricket either and Pakistan have scored 200 on a tough pitch.

If they wanted to lose on purpose they could have lost by now.

My guess is maybe 20 runs too few though.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Commentators keep calling this a "strange innings" from Palistan. They know exactly what is going on - everybody knows. And whatever their motive, it is match-fixing pure and simple.

I would not rule this out.

 

[shahzadddd]

205-6 from 50

As I said before it's Australia's game to lose , but we still have a game. Don't lose all hope India.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

What a looser!

[OZGOD]

6/205 after 50, 206 is the target

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

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.

mate I am talking about the general innuendo that Pakistan is pushing out India on purpose and you are the one who quoted me.

As i said before, let's wait for the Aussie chase to see what kind of a pitch THIS REALLY IS.

And please dont take cheap shots at me, let's keep the dialogue within the borders of the ongoing match.

agree pakistan have setteled for 2nd position so they can take on New Zealand.. and kick India out.. but you never know.. its just the way they batted.. no aggression by the looks of it

 

[Tapori]

Well Mr Asif its time to see how you fare?

 

[godzilla]

you have to admit the aussies fielded and bowled extremely well, only 5 extras. younis, yousuf and misbah arent particularly in form men, and a batting side should have done better, but cant take it away from the aussies.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

A fitting end to misbah,s career.

You never know. PCB may now be filling a visa application for Misbah.

 

[taaveez]

If India had won their Aussie match, we would have been outta this tournament today.

 

[Khurram]

wanders pitch does not favor Pakistan

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

auss should make this by the 40th over

 

[Bobbins]

Australia bowled well, even Siddle.

 

[mindless slogging]

Chappell talking about 260 on this pitch!!!!!!!!!

 

[PapaBear]

There is a mystery I have doubts that it is match fixing, but I am not complaining, when you cant score nobody can blame you. I am sure Misbah and Yusuf played their natural game

 

[slix10]

About 50 runs short.

Aus bowlers did well.

The pitch has some variable bounce in it and slow as well.
