Pakistan v Australia | T20 WC | Group F | Johannesburg | 18/9/07 | Pak Inns

[Hash]

we don't need to go ballistic in order to win this.

Just keep our heads and play sensible attacking cricket.

 

[faisalm]

We need to keep wickets in hand, if we manage that i don't see why we can't win this game easily. It's upto the senior players and coach to drum into Nazir's head that he shouldn't throw his wicket away.

Bring Afridi to open

 

[junaidmalik]

I agree we need to keep wickets and a boundry an over ...we mustn't loose our nerve or we will collapse

Not too sure if he has a head but let's hope he shows at least a slight resemblance of one today

 

[Sheikh]

I'm dreading watching Salman today.

 

[impulsive]

its a nerve game ... and much in our hands

 

[impulsive]

I'm dreading watching Salman today.

Pakistan gets 18 overs .. 2-3 wasted by BUTT

 

[junaidmalik]

Rain clouds????

 

[Bobaran]

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

Please don't fail, if our openers fail, the Aussies will be back into the game.

 

[junaidmalik]

Rain later would be good, BD SL rain tie would suit us fine

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

Please don't fail, if our openers fail, the Aussies will be back into the game.

i predict salman making a 20 ball 17 and nazir getting out before getting into double figures !, i hope i am wrong

 

[Sheikh]

[Jedi Knight]

[teflon_don]

would like to afridi come in 3 or 4.

looking at the last two games he just hasnt had enough overs to really play with.

he comes in thinking he has to blast and when he over tries gets out

 

[Noddy]

Hopefully Chanda can instill some sense and confidence into Imran to allow him to get a few today...

 

[junaidmalik]

How many runs do we need before we lose the 1st wicket guys? I reckon at least 45

[Noddy]

Hopefully Chanda can instill some sense and confidence into Imran to allow him to get a few today...

For a few more overs yet

 

[immubhai]

Please Nazir, just play proper cricket shot

 

[KA$H]

traaditionally Pak have welcomed Lee with quite a few boundaries - lookin 4 the same today

 

[immubhai]

Nazir should wait for the bad ball on his legs, and kindly take singles on the off side

 

[Muhammad]

Just stick to normal shots Nazir, you can do it, stop this horrible slogging!

 

[Jedi Knight]

[Bobaran]

Hafeez Four!

[immubhai]

Openers should only play cricket shot, no need to shuffle down the wicket....they are rocking

 

[tauseefm]

Nazir has shown his class.. no more words to discribe his short

 

[Sheikh]

Typical brain freeze by Imran. No surprise there.

 

[Lightning]

Ugh Nazir...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 25/0 after 3 overs...

 

[Hash]

I said that I don't think Imran Nazir has a brain and I think I am right.

he doesn't.

utterly needless wicket. a gift to australia.

 

[asifp]

they were playing proper shots , no reason to do this , what an idiot

 

[Mercenary]

Butt should bat at 11.

 

[Jedi Knight]

salman butt is in

 

[PlanetPakistan]

They were going so well!!

 

[darkmoon459]

why why why why .............. Nazir ,you brain fart.

 

[Imy]

Nazir gets himself out again

 

[immubhai]

Nazir blew it again....there was no need for that ugly shot he played...terrible, he is wasting the talent he got

 

[Sheikh]

Oh no it's Salman!

 

[asifp]

First ball by Clark atleast see him one ball. They dont need any of this crazy stuff, good cricketing shots will get the job done
