[Afridi_Fan]

Hodge goes

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Great last over by Tanvir. Took a crucial wicket, stopped the run flow (just 6 rpo). 4-0-31-3 ... phenomenal performance!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sorry its clark who is run out

 

[Jedi Knight]

and confirmed clarke run out

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lee in

 

[Sheikh]

We've been impressive in the field. Some credit should be given for that.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Afridi sir! You are a star

 

[sayed.jaffar]

Umar gul is right on money. Good display of fast bowling at the death...

 

[161]

afridi can get direct hits from the field but misses during the bowl out - lol !

 

[Jedi Knight]

only 4 runs off the 19th over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

good over just 4 off it

160/6 off 19 overs

 

[Salman]

Out of 10 top wicket takers in the tournament, we have 4 names now...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Who should bowl the final over/?

 

[Easa]

Fantastic fielding from Afridi today, should have taken more wickets as well! good job Pakistan!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Come on Now please Asif dont ruin this

 

[Jedi Knight]

the moment of truth now

asif to bowl the last over

 

[161]

excellent over by gul ...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good start just a single

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Afridi sir! You are a star

Afridi has to show his prowess with the bat today ... live up to his expectations! A quickfire 30-40, and he could change the complexion of the game.

 

[12thMan]

only 10 runs off last two overs and 2 wickets
Aus 160-6 after 19

 

[Daoud]

Not impressed by ch 9. Showing it on delay and they've managed to lose transmission. Not cool. Good job by the team though. Hopefully we dont give away too much in the final over

 

[161]

malik should be bowling the last over !

 

[Islamabadi]

shoaib should bowl this over...asif will get killed

 

[Afridi_Fan]

one more single

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gone

Hodge gone

Asif Strikes

 

[Jedi Knight]

yk catches it and asif strikes!!!

 

[Easa]

Another catch for Younis, Asif gets Hodge!!

162/7, 3 balls to go!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

3 balls to go,so far so good

 

[Sheikh]

That really was a great job by Gul. Came and bowled his entire spell in the death overs, when Australia had wickets in hand, and gave away only 7 an over. Pure class.

 

[pak4life]

brilliant performance today...........so far

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dot ball

 

[Solid Snake]

Come on, just keep it up asif!

 

[sayed.jaffar]

Good catch by Khan...Pakistan is showing their best today. These guys are making us proud today.

 

[161]

waaah what death bowling !

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

shoaib should bowl this over...asif will get killed

Sorry ... that requires changing the playbook. And why do that, when it was pre-approved, before they left the country!

 

[faisalm]

Hodge gone!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

good effort by Asif

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Last ball coming up

 

[Jedi Knight]

good last over by asif

only 4 off the over

 

[Salman]

excellent effort from the whole team... should be the game of the tourny do far...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Target :165

Required Run Rate : 8.25

 

[sayed.jaffar]

Today's keyword is "yorkers"...

 

[Lightning]

Great bowling at the death!

 

[Easa]

Lovely last over from Asif, only 4 runs off it..

164/7 - THIS IS OUR MATCH BOYS!

 

[Solid Snake]

Well done Asif!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 164/7 after 20 overs.

Pak need 165 to win...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Good performance in the field! PAK can do it!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bowlers did well,fielders backed them

Now its upto the Batsmen

 

[Islamabadi]

i'm willing to eat crow...but i have roza

 

[faisalm]

Last few overs brought us right back into the game.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and no, no balls were bowled

Amazing

 

[Daoud]

Good job restricting them to 163/7. THe bowlers have done their job - cant fault them now

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Lovely last over from Asif, only 4 runs off it..

164/7 - THIS IS OUR MATCH BOYS!

The best thing is that it looks that the players BELIEVE that they can beat AUS.

 

[pak4life]

none of the bowlers got hammered today which was good to see

 

[hellopak]

Pakistan should show more professionalism and let Suhail Tanvir to lead the side to the pavilion.

 

[darkmoon459]

A job very well done by pakistan, a shaky start but managed it well ,good bowling by tanveer ,gul and the spinners but most of all great fielding all arround.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Just 79 off the last 10 overs - you have to give the guys credit for that, regardless of the result of this match.

 

[Noddy]

Gotta be happy chasing less than 170 on this track, albeit against a good attack...
Challenge is set for a very good game!

 

[junaidmalik]

Alhumdulillah...I just hope we are not in for a batting horror show....Come on the Green Shirts!!!!!!!!

 

[Sheikh]

Well, we've done superbly to restrict them to 160-odd. Malik juggled his bowlers well again, we fielded well, caught well, and everyone did a job. Impressive stuff.

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Brilliant performance by Pakistan in the last three overs. Conceded only 14 runs.

In 17 overs, AUS was at 150/4, with Hodge and Hussey looking strong. 190 was certainly on the cards. But for Pakistan to have restricted them to just 164, , we could have pocketed the game.

I know it's too early to say this, but 164 seems within our reach, even despite Salman and Nazir.

 

[in_cutter]

Great come-back by our bowlers

 

[pak4life]

please please dont open with butt hafeez and nazir to open

 

[junaidmalik]

Butt...inshallah today is your day!!!

 

[iafzal]

Game on boys.

Pak did well after the Aussies onslought in the middle overs

 

[Hash]

This is very gettable.

As long as we keep our heads we should do this. I can sense the fear/nervousness in Ravi Shastri's voice, which is a good sign!

 

[harrybeg]

I'm afraid they will

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Come on Now Butt Sahib and Nazir Sahib dont please dont ruin this

 

[Usman Chadda]

Great bowling performance! Our three pacers have been perfect, no doubt about it! The spinners chipped in with Afridi and Hafeez really choking the Australians in the middle. Restricting a batting line-up like Australia to 164 is a tremendous achievement

However this score may prove to be quite a lot against the class of the Aussie bowlers. Our openers havent fired and the middle order cant keep bailing us out every match

 

[harrybeg]

Do you think we'll be able to chase it down for me it is yes as long we have a good partnership ?

 

[P4K1 #1]

inshallah we can get this.. the openers have to fire.. we cannot be 21/3 etc.. .. pakistan have to play very good

 

[Kamranz]

If Salman Butt doesn't start properly, then I WANT THIS GUY OUT OF THE NEXT GAME!

We need Afridi on top...

 

[tauseefm]

wow, last 3 overs and 14 runs given.. wow what a performance by pakistan

 

[pak4life]

only one six in the innings

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok guys off to Aftar,and see you after that

Go Pakistan


Go Tigers

 

[harrybeg]

Sohail tanvir he's an excelent player , I just reasearched that he's an great batsman too
hope we seea postive side


INSALLAH WE'LL WIN!

 

[darkmoon459]

Inshallah we will chase this and win it.

 

[faisalm]

We need a decent start from the openers today, 20 odd each at decent pace would be ideal considering how rubbish they are.

 

[harrybeg]

only one six in the innings

A great bowling perfomance specially by the spinners

and a full fcredit to Tanveer


we MUST have a partnership.
