[don1990]

australia won the toss & fielding first

 

[germanboy]

match

anything about 140 will be good..

160 will be very good i think

InschAllah Khuda pakistan ke sath ho Amin

 

[pakmania]

) ) at Jonathan Agnew pronouncing our team or is it Arlo White ?

 

[Pak_Power]

Damn, bad news about the toss.

Well, Pak openers should bide some time on the crease.

 

[germanboy]

now i want to see what geo have to say

 

[iafzal]

Why is Latief there, we could have easily put in Asif there.
Must be Butt butting in

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Pak are batting first, aussies won the toss.

Going to be tough for us

Same team, Crap

no offense to Pathans but they hardly use their brain............

 

[Sledger]

LOL, Rambo was awful during that toss. I think he forgot Clarke's name, didn't mention it once.

Doull saying 135-140 will be competative.

 

[PB]

Hope they never have anything in West Indies again..

 

[chui_kadoo]

I dont understand why they didnt bowl another seamer especially with friendly bowling conditions

 

[TalhaSyed]

We continue to see what we have seen through the tourny.

Plan A and only Plan A thats it!

 

[Desire]

when is match gonna start?

 

[IMMY69]

come on pakistan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[x2zee123]

Crapinfo saying match start @ 12:00 YAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Inswinger]

15 minutes till the start time.

 

[Sledger]

Pundits shocked at no Asif and Sami.

 

[Pak_Power]

I'd rather us bat

Spinners will now ball with drier ball and we won't have to bat under pressure

only if it does not rain again.

 

[badxhah]

very very tough pitch to bat on or pakistan battin yehi sun kaay openers bhar nahi aye gaay

 

[Amjid Javed]

Prediction :- Pakistan 24/4 after 6 overs...

with our lame top 4!

 

[immubhai]

Allah Madaad kar,

 

[rsk]

it is better to bat first. it is pak's strength

 

[Oxy]

That's a pity. He's not a Pak fan, then?

Maybe the whole thing gets delayed to an extent to allow you to catch it on your return.

He is but cricket practice is something kids wait for all week...

 

[cricket4life]

Things are getting better, though batting would be disaster in this match. Need atleast 130 to make a match

 

[Desire]

hmmm.. comeon pakistan. i have a feeling it will be a tough match

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hope its not a repeat of the world cup final in 1999

 

[Uzzy]

Prediction :- Pakistan 24/4 after 6 overs...

with our lame top 4!

Thats a bit too generous of you there...

 

[immubhai]

Prediction :- Pakistan 24/4 after 6 overs...

with our lame top 4!

Inshallah we would be 15/0 after 4 overs

 

[Inswinger]

Prediction :- Pakistan 24/4 after 6 overs...

with our lame top 4!

Give Butt and Kamran some credit.

 

[Oxy]

To start in about 15 mins or so

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

who's batting first???????

 

[Desire]

Things are getting better, though batting would be disaster in this match. Need atleast 130 to make a match

no man!! atleast 160 to have some chance

 

[Pak_Power]

We continue to see what we have seen through the tourny.

Plan A and only Plan A thats it!

Captain and Coach are showing such rigidity, it is unbelievable! issed:

 

[cricket4life]

Yeah it is but condition will support fast bowling right now

 

[germanboy]

14min. to go!

 

[Sledger]

Top order could fold in the first 5* in this game.





*minutes

 

[kingusama92]

Prediction :- Pakistan 24/4 after 6 overs...

with our lame top 4!

I think you are giving them too much credit.

More like 0/4 after 1 over.

 

[PB]

 

[Desire]

first 2 overs i dont mind if they make 10 runs. but there have to be a solid start

 

[*sallu*]

Hows the weather now?
Still overcast or has the sun decided to show itself?

 

[cricfan967]

Theres a bug on the camera!

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

I dont understand why they didnt bowl another seamer especially with friendly bowling conditions

hahahah........I wonder if WAQAR has any role in this team..............
Surely ASIF should have been in for uselss HAFEEZ or LATIF DUD

 

[Stewie]

let the jinxing begin

 

[Shezada]

this is gonna be one hell of a ride for us pak fans...lol

 

[PB]

Aus gona win now.

 

[ShehryarK]

TBH, I havent been there for about 3 years!

Absolutely the right approach I have one in my building and haven't been there in three years!

 

[chui_kadoo]

somehow need 160. Dont know how they gona get them though

 

[germanboy]

dont looose any wicket in the first 5 overs atleast.. 4 or 5 runs per over till the fist 5 overs is ok without losing any wicket!!!!

 

[d0gers]

Prediction:

Pak bat first and put on 147/8 in 20.0

Aus in reply are 43/0 after 5.2 overs when rain forces match to be called off. Aus declared winners according to D/L.

 

[x2zee123]

Dear PP members i have little sixth sense and i feel pakistan gona loose this match

 

[pak4life]

Hope the captain has a defendable target in mind we should aim for 140-150 anything else is a bonus

 

[Dare2Dream]

Bowling first is a no brainer with DL rule

 

[WeAreTheVampions]

Looking better now.

Why should Aus go through on what they have done in previous games if the game is abandoned?

Why not have:

A single over.
Bowlout
1 ball each
Coin toss
Afridi V Clarke in 3 rounds of boxing.

HAHAHAHAHA I go for the boxing option.

 

[imshally81]

135-140 is enough - simon doull

 

[cricfan967]

11.40 am12.00 pm start. Yay!

 

[Kray_jackson7]

Well apparently 135-140 should be competitive. LETS AIM FOR 180!

Inshallah we can do it!

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan Bats

Australia won the toss and put Pakistan in

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Prediction:

Pak bat first and put on 147/8 in 20.0

Aus in reply are 43/0 after 5.2 overs when rain forces match to be called off. Aus declared winners according to D/L.

 

[PB]

Oh well,
Atleast we made it to Semis.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

who's batting first???????

and Co

 

[don1990]

plz play sensibilly in first 6 overs..... :akmal

 

[shabbu1]

Pak batting in bowler friendly conditions against a 90+mph bowling attack intent on bowling the odd bouncer...yikes.

 

[Desire]

Dear PP members i have little sixth sense and i feel pakistan gona loose this match

well is it gonna be like sheikh rasheed election???? where everybody said , here is the upset here is the upset but in the end reality prevailed. ground work and preparation were not enough.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Asif should be IN!!!!!

 

[cricfan967]

Pakistan will need at least 160 to hold Australia back

 

[Paradox]

Last year:

Semi final, facing the unbeaten team, we batted first, result = win

This year:

Semi final, facing the unbeaten team, batting first, result =

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Oh well,
Atleast we made it to Semis.

)

 

[bladerunner]

somebody knows where to get a weather satellite picture for St. Lucia?

 

[jasimisbest2]

Dont worry brothers,

If Pakistan are going to Struglle INSHALLAH Australlia will struggle to...

Maybe losing the toss was our Kismat, if there is no rain and the spinners come on that be brilliant for us,,,, and if the outfield is wet, the ball wont spin BUT BUT, the ball will be wet and very hard for the Asutrallians to hit for fours or six... meaning more running and risking shots for boundries...

InshALLAH ALLAH karam kare gaaaa.

Pakistan Zindaaabaaad and we love you no matter what!!

 

[Salman]

hope they skip the national anthems, no need today

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan against weather

Pakistan is the only team that scored runs against Australia, I think we score 135 and we will win

 

[badxhah]

135-140 is enough - simon doull

ALSO ASK HIM WHOS GONA MAKE THAT TOTAL OR V GONA BORROW SOME AUSSIES

SORRY CAPS LOCK BROKEN

 

[Infinitee786]

Personally... I would have gone with a pace-oriented attack.. I fail to see the logic behind this decision. I guess they dont want disturb the team seeing as it won against SA. Preferably we have to hope the ball doesnt swing alot with all the overcast conditions. A blistering pace attack with swing would be devestating for us.

 

[*sallu*]

Pak batting in bowler friendly conditions against a 90+mph bowling attack intent on bowling the odd bouncer...yikes.

All the more reason to go out there and fight fire with fire

Attack Nannes and Tait first up which will mean Australia will no be able to attack as much and hence less chance of losing wickets

And anyways, whether we attack or defend, our top order is bound to get out, so might as well get some runs on the board in the process

 

[Strike!]

We're gonna lose so bad.

 

[zulfiqar]

Aus wins toss and bowls... time to panic

 

[Desire]

well lets not create bubbles of good or bad feelings. just pray and be content with whatever team does. i dont care if they win or loose. they have come this far which is enough

 

[Poison]

Oh well,
Atleast we made it to Semis.

Shutup dude, seriously.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Im happy we are batting first - dont think we are capable of chasing

Our openers MUST take advantage of the powerplays - see how England battet against SL in the opening 5 overs, thats the way to go

 

[MoinHaroon]

I agree for the anthem, lets play before it rains, Pakistan only has a chance if they play 20 overs

 

[The Slogger]

man i hope we post up atleast 150+
