[CricketBuff]

Here we go!! Good luck Pak!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lets hope the sun stays out for the full 20 overs. Salman needs to make the most of his good form.

 

[theMasters]

How do you prepare for certain showers when you start batting?
RR ? Not lose wickets ?

 

[imran666]

thank god there was rain ..i just got home running ..i tought i must have missed some overs ..........pakistan zindabad

 

[jasimisbest2]

Guys I will post later now, my hands are shivering lets hope PAkistan do well...

Pakistan Zindabaad!!!

 

[imshally81]

akmal on the strike

 

[Waseem]

Some movement expected due to rain..........
Come on PAKISTAN!!!!

 

[Stewie]

160 and we win the game.. now i have a feeling we will be 70 runs short of 160 after 20 overs.

 

[Desi]

is there a "no-rain" dance that we can do?

 

[don1990]

first ball bowl...

 

[KingKhanWC]

2 slips in. Nannes on.

 

[Waseem]

First ball confidently blocked by Akmal........

 

[Fawad2010]

Kami aur butt.
Hamari izzat tumharay haath mein hai

 

[imshally81]

2 dot ballz

 

[Oxy]

2 dots

 

[Momo]

Not in T20 though. See for example, England vs West Indies. 191 in 20 overs got reduced to 60 in 6, though only after rain stopped play when Windies were 30/0 in 2.2. All you need is 5 overs for D/L to kick in for a complete game, and those 5 overs will almost always be PP overs.

Edit: Anyway, not to be pessimistic but my point was that Australia have the added advantage of batting second in conditions where rain interruption is highly likely.

You have a point. But I think all those lists of this many runs after each deliver to win with this many wickets down is a bit too much for Butt and co.

Handling normal Cricket is already a full-time job for them.

Let's hope though that it doesn't come to DL, and we have full 40 overs. In any case we lost the toss and the decision was out of our hands to start with.

 

[Waseem]

Another dot ball, no movement as yet.

 

[Shezada]

finally got speed guns!

 

[don1990]

[imshally81]

[The Slogger]

[Oxy]

LBW shout - not out

 

[azharkhancanada]

Best of luck to openers and Pak Zindabad

 

[KingKhanWC]

LBW shout, way outside leg. Nannes is very accurate.

Look at tatto ( shane w ) sleding against Akmal from slip. I bet he is chick when not in ground....

 

[IAJ]

Nannes bowling tight here

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Nervous!

 

[Waseem]

4 dot balls
Nannes bowling extremely well here, Akmal couldnt do much

 

[Maula Jutt]

Kami aur butt.
Hamari izzat tumharay haath mein hai

Ghalat logon ke haath mein pakra di hai izzat.

 

[cricfan967]

phew ,

 

[Oxy]

5 dots

 

[FM87]

I hope we will put up a good fight against the Aussies, defeat or win are irrelevant things,

 

[don1990]

:akmal running but not intresting..

 

[Waseem]

Akmal going for non existent run......sent back....another dot ball.


Maiden over???

 

[saj001]

Maiden

 

[Farhan!]

Maiden!

 

[Oxy]

Maiden

 

[don1990]

maiden over by nannes

 

[The Slogger]

Maiden over. 0/0 after 1.

 

[Momo]

Steven Warne Smith to go for 100 in 4 overs.

 

[Waseem]

Maiden over by Nannes.....DAMN!!!!

Let's hop we can make up for it very soon.

 

[azharkhancanada]

maiden.....come on boys stay calm

 

[IAJ]

Wow, maiden over first up. But we didn't at least give him a wicket

 

[x2zee123]

maiden over!!! issed:

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great over.

 

[chui_kadoo]

australia right on the money. Maiden first over. Not looking good

 

[KingKhanWC]

Maiden from Nannes, good over but the openers have to get their eyes in and not throw it away.

 

[imshally81]

no run in first over
but no wkt as well
ok for me

 

[Afridi_Fan]

1 gone, 19 to go.

 

[iZeeshan]

Iffy start so far

Maiden.

 

[asifp]

Pakistan is mentally like a deer caught in front of headlights against Australia

Salman Butt does not want to take singles as well

90 all out, mark my words

 

[jusarrived]

I think 140 is easily defendable here

 

[chui_kadoo]

this needs to be a big over

 

[Momo]

I am not averse to maidens but not of this type.

 

[Koenigsegg]

This EXACTLY the kinda start I did NOT want .... would you now be surprised to see a wicket fall on a pre-medicated shot either by Akmal or butt ???

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

no time for maiden

Need a 10 runs per over start!

Get on with it!!!!

 

[saj001]

off the mark

 

[Afridi_Fan]

australia right on the money. Maiden first over. Not looking good

Seriously, Shut Up.

 

[don1990]

first run ....

 

[imshally81]

very lose the delivery from tait

 

[theMasters]

Didn't see much swing yet

 

[Waseem]

First run on the board.

 

[azharkhancanada]

we are off and running

 

[KingKhanWC]

Off the mark, single. Outfield is wet and slow.

 

[The Slogger]

1 to Butt and Pakistan are under way.

 

[rhussain33]

What great start, maiden, full of fear ?? or what just eyeing things up

 

[GLORY OF '92]

90 mph loosener.

 

[Shezada]

kamrans pissing himself. first he faced nannes and now tait

 

[Maula Jutt]

When was the last match we were so tense over?

 

[khilari]

yayy, we got a run

 

[don1990]

leg side bouncer

 

[asifp]

when they play Australia give them sticks to bat with instead of cricket bats.

God so annoying to see them play against Australia

courageless performnace

 

[Sledger]

Tait warms up with 89mph.

 

[cricfan967]
