Pakistan vs Australia | 1st ODI | Sharjah | 28/08/12 | Pakistan Innings

[Canistani Hero]

Toss in half an hour.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Australia have replaced Xavier Doherty with Dan Christian, that's the only change in their team, that featured against Afghanistan. Pakistan will announce their final combination at the toss.

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

It’s been 10 years since Pakistan have beaten Australia in an ODI series. Misbah ul Haq’s side have a very good chance of doing so here. Misbah has a fine record against Australia as a player in one day cricket. Hopefully we see him continue scoring well against them here in this ODI series. Last time Pakistan played Australia in the UAE in the 3-2 series defeat, in both matches Pakistan won Misbah played his usual finishing role scoring 30* and 70* to see the Greens home.

[thecricket]

Pak wins toss batting first!!!!

 

[saeed-sohail]

What about the dew later on folks?

 

[saeed-sohail]

Want a dominant performance for a change.

 

[Bullet Drive]

What's the team.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

only two fast bowlers ! We are relying too much on spin.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hoping Nasir is playing and Umar goes up the order.

 

[Senman]

Kamran Akmal is back

 

[saeed-sohail]

Where is PP crowd? It looks quiet here.

 

[golimar]

Hope Pak brings their A-game today!

 

[golimar]

Where is PP crowd? It looks quiet here.

they are all in the stadium

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

No malik

 

[Canistani Hero]

2 seamers, 3 spinners. good combo.

 

[Asif321]

Hafeez, Kamran, Misbah, Umar Ak, Shafiq, Afridi, Ajmal, Tanvir, Cheema, Azhar Ali , Jamshed

No malik junaid

 

[A.M.]

i think Nasir will open not Kami

 

[saeed-sohail]

Yaar team toh batao koi. Zee cafe coverage does not start until 3.

 

[cricketpassion]

These ptv ads

 

[shah_1]

no junaid khan

 

[whyamir]

So Pak chose to bat first! The playing XI are also not bad. I would have preferred Junaid over cheema imo, other than that everything is fine I guess. And THANK GOD no malik.

 

[cricketpassion]

Yaar team toh batao koi. Zee cafe coverage does not start until 3.

just watching on tv stream they are still showing ads

 

[Senman]

Australia looks so weak M Clarke & M Hussey thats all their batting with Warner being hit or miss. What happened to S Watson?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Cheema and Tanvir !! Terrible pace attack. And no sixth bowler option. We are always nervous about our batting but the fact is that when it clicks it clicks and when it flops, it doesn't matter how many batsmen we have.

 

[saeed-sohail]

So no talentless wonder?

 

[Osman]

decent batting line up....thank god no farhat or malik.....

no junaid khan and sohail tanvir

 

[farsiddiqui]

No malik

No Malik

Corrected.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Ausses going with three pacers.

 

[golimar]

Yaar team toh batao koi. Zee cafe coverage does not start until 3.

Australia team

DA Warner, MS Wade†, MJ Clarke*, MEK Hussey, DJ Hussey, GJ Bailey, GJ Maxwell, DT Christian, MG Johnson, MA Starc, JL Pattinson


Pakistan team

Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal†, Nasir Jamshed, Azhar Ali, Umar Akmal, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Asad Shafiq, Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir, Saeed Ajmal, Aizaz Cheema

 

[saeed-sohail]

Fantastic cover drive by JP Duminy.

 

[CricBellz]

Pakistan Team :
Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal†, Nasir Jamshed, Azhar Ali, Umar Akmal, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Asad Shafiq, Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir, Saeed Ajmal, Aizaz Cheema


So PAK opted for more depth in batting and chose Nasir Jamshed ahead of a bowler and Aizaz Cheema ahead of Junaid Khan !!

 

[cricketpassion]

just 5 bowlers

 

[JibranAnsari]

Cheema , why is junaid there? Good to see no malik in the team.

 

[Ahson8]

No junaid?
rest of team looks fine

 

[Inswinger]

Guess Umar will be batting at 6 again.

@PakPassion
Australia XI: Warner, Wade, Clarke, M.Hussey, D.Hussey, Bailey, Maxwell, Christian, Johnson, Starc, Pattinson. #PakvAus

‏@PakPassion
Pakistan XI : Hafeez, Jamshed, Azhar, Misbah, U Akmal, Shafiq, Afridi, K Akmal, Ajmal, Tanvir, Cheema. #PakvAus

 

[iRfaN_LA]

just 5 bowlers is a strategy which is bound to backfire sooner or later. Any bowler can have a bad day, you just can't make him bowl 10 iovers.

 

[saeed-sohail]

BZ and Riff very upset, throwing stuff at the telly.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Would've preferred Junaid over Cheema - experience maybe won it for Cheema, or they might have wanted a left-right pairing.

@PakPassion

‏@PakPassion
Pakistan XI : Hafeez, Jamshed, Azhar, Misbah, U Akmal, Shafiq, Afridi, K Akmal, Ajmal, Tanvir, Cheema. #PakvAus

this order looks like the most likely one

 

[whyamir]

Cheema and Tanvir !! Terrible pace attack. And no sixth bowler option. We are always nervous about our batting but the fact is that when it clicks it clicks and when it flops, it doesn't matter how many batsmen we have.

Dude, Tanvir has been in terrific rhythm as of late. I think he deserves to be in the first ODI at least and the selectors can see how he performs and go from there. Cheema, I agree, Junaid Khan should have been in his place instead.

 

[JibranAnsari]

just 5 bowlers

yah , if one of the five bowler goes wrong then we are inn for a phainty.

 

[truthseer]

Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal†, Nasir Jamshed, Azhar Ali, Umar Akmal, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Asad Shafiq, Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir, Saeed Ajmal, Aizaz Cheema

 

[saeed-sohail]

Good team barring absence of Junaid.

 

[JibranAnsari]

it will be hard to defend 300 with this bowling lineup.

 

[CricBellz]

only 5 bowlers wud be dangerous !!! Cant see it going perfectly alright for PAK in bowling dept tonight!!! :s

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

just 5 bowlers is a strategy which is bound to backfire sooner or later. Any bowler can have a bad day, you just can't make him bowl 10 iovers.

Not playing malik will backfire.

 

[Inswinger]

Swap Junaid with Cheema and I'm happy with the XI. I thought Farhat and Malik would have been locks for the XI but Misbah surprised me. Well done!

 

[Inswinger]

it will be hard to defend 300 with this bowling lineup.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch. There's pessimism and then there's PP on match days.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Overpacked with batsmen for me, needed a backup sixth bowler - maybe Azhar Ali can bowl an over or two..

 

[JibranAnsari]

We will have to win at any cost otherwise moon will play the next match.

 

[Dan08]

Who's opening?

 

[Canistani Hero]

Come on people back Cheema, now that he is playing.

 

[whyamir]

Not playing malik will backfire.

Please tell me you're joking.

 

[Poison]

Big toss to win. Rack up 250+ now boys :kami

 

[JibranAnsari]

Do yourself a favor and don't watch. There's pessimism and then there's PP on match days.

I will unfortunately not watch because of work but will keep commenting and spread negativity. I said what I think , if yo think this bowling lineup is good then its OK.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Salam dosto, naya cricket season Mubarak. Looking forward to see Anwar Ali and Jamshed.

Wslaam SS. A big series for Afridi coming up..enjoy. Batting line looks better today. 300 would be nice. Kam karo Pakistan.
