He is eligible to play for Australia as well. He played for Netherlands because of his dutch ancestors.

Kangaroos vs Markhors. No match!

 

[immubhai]

we will win inshallah
i think 160,170 are chase able for pakistan easily

remember the final of the last T20, we were chasing only 139 and we all had our mouths open till the last over. I dont want to chase anything above 150 on this sort of wicket.

 

[cricket_fever]

Dude that's a gandaasa. *Sultan Rahi's spirit highly offended*

whats that *really sorry*

 

[cricket_fever]

Kangaroos vs Markhors. No match!

aye, the markhors have really gotten to u momo bhai it seems

 

[Kriketer]

Restrict them to under 300 and its our game [basically, its our game whatever they get]

With Afridi leading no target should be unachievable.

Go Australia hit as many sixes as you want...we will CHASE IT DOWN!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Anyway, enough tattle, we have news from the middle. Australia have won the toss and will bat first. The teams line-up like this:

Australia 1 Shane Watson, 2 David Warner, 3 Michael Clarke (capt), 4 Cameron White, 5 David Hussey 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 Steven Smith, 9 Mitchell Johnson, 10 Dirk Nannes, 11 Shaun Tait.



Pakistan 1 Salman Butt, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Shahid Afridi (capt), 4 Abdul Razzaq, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq, 6 Mohammad Hafeez, 7 Umar Akmal, 8 Fawad Alam, 9 Mohammad Sami, 10 Mohammad Aamer, 11 Saeed Ajmal.

Still no Mohammad Asif, which is a shame, he's always fun to watch, but I'm sure the Pakistan selectors have clear, logical and coherent reasons for everything they do.

Sarcasm from cricinfo?

 

[Shezada]

sami to take 4

hafeez to take 2

 

[cricket_fever]

Afridi to take 5.

and break gullays record inshallah

 

[immubhai]

yeah come lets seee

oh bother i got butterflies in my tummy

Thats why we love pressure games

 

[iHammad]

You people have no confidence in your team!

We can chase anything....

 

[cricket_fever]

sami to take 4

hafeez to take 2

inshallah aussies will be 100 all out

 

[Maula Jutt]

I am a little worried about this game.

 

[cricket_fever]

You people have no confidence in your team!

We can chase anything....

inshallah aameen

 

[D_pathan_Daddy]

pakistan were run close by minnows Bangladesh and defeated by Zim. Not to mention have been thoroughly beaten by Aus in recent times. On paper, this isn't even a contest.

A Gandasa is a Punjabi implement primarily used in cultivation and farming. It consists of a long stick of wood (roughly the height of its user) with a wide blade attached to one end. It resembles a very large axe, although it is used in a different manner.

The use of the gandasa as a weapon was made famous by the Lollywood film Maula Jatt, in which the implement was portrayed as an Excalibur-like weapon used by the film's namesake, Maula Jatt.

Wake up kid, we are still the world champ of T20. Troller coming out after India's victory.

 

[Pak_Pace]

Why is everyone so excited about this match when it's obvious that its going to be a pretty easy win for Pakistan?

I mean to be honest, it's going to be easy for us in every match but I guess the final will bring about its own excitement.

Pakistan team, aaram se khelna, kahin bachchay ro na jaayein

 

[imshally81]

Inshallah we will crash australia

 

[Kriketer]

Some serious introduction of the game going on. They are making it look like EPIC battle b/w the two side.

 

[D_pathan_Daddy]

hope Afridi's times his edges better today.

 

[Fawad2010]

How many of you stand up while the anthem is played on tv??

[ZAK]

Is that the Aussie national anthem? sounds like a sad tune from some crappy bollywood movie.

 

[The Slogger]

the anthem is so much better

 

[imshally81]

hatz off

 

[insaaniyat]

[Momo]

Harsha Bhogle: No change in the team Shahid bhai?

Respect to

Bhogle too smart to know where to exercise care and caution, and where not to take liberty.

 

[Pak_Power]

Pak should open bowling with Hafeez or Ajmal.

 

[Lethal]

maybe...but when i have that extra nervous feeling pak ends up winning and when i am sure we will win the opposite happens

now i m geting scaaared

I'm always nervous when Pakistan play. The heart beating faster but it is calmer today for some reason.

InshaALLAH we will be victorious.

 

[iHammad]

How many of you stand up while the anthem is played on tv??

I do

Just wondering...

I stand up in front of my computer

 

[Maula Jutt]

They are playing our anthem right this time. Reminds me of my school assembly days.

 

[theMasters]

Ah, they got the anthem right today

 

[iHammad]

 

[immubhai]

only Fawad is holding his hands on heart while listening to national Anthem

 

[imshally81]

[cricketinblood]

fir bolega to bologe bolta hai....yday when we won the toss, we shud hav bowled first bcoz we know we r exceptionally weak while chasing..so get that practise against bangla...but hamare sahbzada ko to apni kursi bachani hai

 

[Momo]

The key is to make Clarke play at least ten of the twenty overs.

 

[immubhai]

Comon Guys, rock Ausssies and we are through to super 8

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Unchanged team by Pakistan

 

[don1990]
