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

[Bilal7]

Shabash chotay!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar's knock already better then Misbah's

 

[golimar]

 

[Square Drive]

Whadday shot legend!!

 

[talha3]

Umar and Asad both seem to be under 5'7

All about short batsmen these days

 

[Bullet Drive]

One good thing about U Akmal is he has consistently lifted his game against Australia over his entire career so far. Let's hope that goes on this series.

I agree and that's why you need him at 3 or thereabouts.

 

[whyamir]

These two future superstars are going to take us to 200+ inshallah.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq keeps strike. 113-4

 

[chui_kadoo]

The run rate is still good. Just need partnerships

 

[qamar84]

:umarakmal need to calm down we have plenty of time

 

[shah_1]

That is talent for you

 

[Square Drive]

Wow, Misbah did play a lame shot there. Now let's hope Umar and Asad can at least guide us to 150-160. And then Afridi and Kami to slog in the end.

 

[talha3]

Umar's knock already better then Misbah's

True, but Misbah had to see out a difficult period at the start of his innings.

 

[Little Master]

Streaky shot by junior for four

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[qamar84]

:umarakmal ki :AAG

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[Markhor]

Cut away for

 

[Executioner]

This Aussie spinners are rubbish. Indian have a way better spin attack

 

[Bullet Drive]

True, but Misbah had to see out a difficult period at the start of his innings.

That's not his job completed though is it? Just defending and defending is of no use. A batsmans job is to make runs.

1 mor.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar 17 off 13.

 

[the Great Khan]

brainless nay chukka maara?? hain jee..lol

 

[Markhor]

Umar Akmal picking up the pace nicely here.

 

[Bilal7]

Umar's knock already better then Misbah's

Calm down now. Akmal can break your heart at the worst possible time imaginable.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pak needs to score as much as possible against these dolly bowlers. Both Maxwell and Christian should be taken for a lot of runs.

 

[Markhor]

 

[qamar84]

 

[Little Master]

Six from Shafiq

 

[talha3]

Another 6, youngsta beauties.

 

[Sledger]

Class shot by Asad.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:6 more OMG :0

 

[Square Drive]

Edged and

 

[saj001]

This Maxwell guy needs to go.

 

[whyamir]

WAHHHHHHH!!!! mashallah this is great cricket from these two youngsta beauTs.

 

[Inswinger]

WHat the hell, Umar?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shows why youth is so much needed.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Wow m impressed... That was a great shot... he is playing much better today gotta admit...

 

[the Great Khan]

brainless proving me wrong..for now..

 

[Inswinger]

Umar and Asad ned to relax. Lots of overs left.

 

[Markhor]

Shafiq on 45 now. Our youngsters stepping up to the plate while seniors like Hafeez fail once again.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Drop Misbah for Fawad.

 

[talha3]

That's not his job completed though is it? Just defending and defending is of no use. A batsmans job is to make runs.

1 mor.

True again. What I'm saying is, I'm not sure how well Umar would have fared under that pressure against that bowling at that time.

 

[saj001]

6!!
Boys are listening to me.

Maxwell needs to go.

 

[Saurav]

This Aussie spinners are rubbish. Indian have a way better spin attack

ofcourse.even BD attack is better.

 

[Markhor]

PAK 125-4 | 28 overs

 

[Bilal7]

Younis Khan should take an extended 'rest' now.

 

[Square Drive]

Shot Asad!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Johnson on.

 

[qamar84]

mitchell is back

 

[Saurav]

Misbah went n RR increased,some things never change

 

[Bullet Drive]

Driven beautifully by Umar for nothing.

 

[the Great Khan]

ohh fiqayaa!! oh shaan hay teri!

 

[Markhor]

Shows why youth is so much needed.

Yep we recycle the 'seniors', the tried and tested failures over and over again - and we get the same results.

We bring in youngsters like Shafiq, and its hardly surprising that they step up to the plate.

Shafiq using his feet nicely and scoring in all parts of the ground.

 

[JibranAnsari]

good over for pakistan , enjoy youngsters. No need to take any tension , ziada se ziada out ho jaogay na.

 

[Zamee]

I like their approach.

 

[Little Master]

Johnson back in, I sense a brain fart from junior in this over or the next

 

[qamar84]

calm down junior

 

[bforme]

May Allah bless Asad

 

[Sledger]

Australia clearly fearing :umarakmal here, has hurt their bowlers in all formats previously and looks like he wants to today as well.

 

[Zamee]

Johnson has changed his run up alot.

 

[Bilal7]

Drop Misbah for Fawad.

As long as Fawad can clear the inner ring now and we have a captain ready.

 

[Little Master]

Excellent running

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brilliant running by Umar. Robin Jackman seems very impressed by Umar.

 

[Inswinger]

Rameez just compared Asad to a belly-dancer

 

[Boi]

lol Tanvir and Cheema as the only two seamers?! That just shows how far our pace bowling ha regressed with Misbah at the helm.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 more to Umar. Umar is amazing.

 

[Zamee]

Umar playing some good shots. I hope brain fart isnt aroung the corner

 

[whyamir]

This is a treat to watch. They're getting boundaries when available and MOST importantly rotating the strike!!

 

[talha3]

Excellent batting from Umar.

 

[cricketfan86]

asad and umar playing good

 

[Little Master]

again good placement and running from junior

 

[Runner Up]

In SLPL Azhar Mehmood is being hit for sixes by Oram

 

[Zamee]

2 more to Umar. Umar is amazing.

lol calm down

 

[Square Drive]

I, for one, believe that Misbah is required in ODIs and should retire after the SA tour. Reason being that he really stabilizes the innings and despite playing a poor shot today, he rotated the strike really well and took us this far. Well done Misbah!

No doubt though that Misbah is done in T20s.

 

[Markhor]

Umar Akmal average 50 from 8 innings in ODIs vs Australia.

 

[dirk diggler]

Rameez just compared Asad to a belly-dancer

belly / ballet...its all the same to Raja Saab

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 more to umar

 

[Sledger]

Hacked away for a single.

 

[talha3]

Now THAT was silly. This is the part of his game Umar needs to improve. Gets too carried away at times.

 

[Little Master]

Not a good shot
