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

[Markhor]

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

Its hardly Misbah's fault that there is a lack of quality fast bowlers in domestic cricket. Misbah can criticised for a lot of things but not that.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Remember it was these two who did amazinglly well against AUS in the world cup.

 

[Sledger]

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

You mean with Salman Butt at the helm.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

K that was an ugly slog try of johnson... No need for this...

 

[the Great Khan]

shafiq showing why he is a far superior bat than most in this team..kya talent hay!

 

[JibranAnsari]

umar akmal's next brain fart is coming soon

 

[Square Drive]

BTW was Junior's catch actually dropped earlier?

 

[Markhor]

32 runs at a RR of 6.40 in the last 5 overs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

johnson's back has grown wider , isn't it?

 

[Zamee]

Umar living dangerously. How on earth can he play at number 3 with this mind set

 

[PapaRomeo]

ohh fiqayaa!! oh shaan hay teri!

LOL. Nazar naa lugaaa.....

 

[the Great Khan]

umar akmal's next brain fart is coming soon

the smell will be intense!!

 

[Zamee]

the smell will be intense!!

I hope it dozes the aussies out

 

[Little Master]

Single to Shafiq

 

[the Great Khan]

LOL. Nazar naa lugaaa.....

papajee bus thora joash aga ya si!!

 

[Bilal7]

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

lol. Gold!

When I see Umar playing this well, my cricketing greed takes over and I want him to be one of the best in the world, which is why it is frustrating to see his brain-freezes.

 

[Zamee]

Good timing

 

[Inswinger]

Why are some of you hoping for Umar to fail?

 

[DoosraTeesra]

Pak looking nice. I hope i don't jinx it

 

[Zamee]

I like this aggressive approach though. Whatmore is applying himself very well...

 

[Little Master]

133/4 at the end of 30 overs

 

[talha3]

You mean with Salman Butt at the helm.

Well said.

 

[JibranAnsari]

BTW was Junior's catch actually dropped earlier?

yup

 

[Zamee]

Why are some of you hoping for Umar to fail?

Nobody is

 

[Munna]

at the ads popping everywhere!

 

[JibranAnsari]

akmal is too dynamic at the crease. Needs to calm down a bit.

 

[Zamee]

yup

how? who dropped it?

 

[Sledger]

Good little partnership here so far.

 

[Markhor]

PAK 133-4 | 30 overs

 

[Zamee]

250 will be the winning total i guess
what a pathetic shot by UA

 

[Markhor]

In the air, and 2 runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

they need to play christian straght down the ground.

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

kitni boy pe lagaya , kitna gas me bhagaya , khushboo kitna chalee gi , sooch mere bhayaaaa

 

[qamar84]

calm down umar wait the powerplay boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Square Drive]

Why are some of you hoping for Umar to fail?

I know eh, these people have problems. But we have some Umar fanboys in BD, me, and you, so not to worry. :umarakmal

 

[talha3]

Umar yaar...chill. Most other players playing that shot would have got out. His talent gets him through it sometimes but he relies on it too much.

 

[Little Master]

A brain fart and he survives again, looks like it might be his day afterall

 

[Sledger]

Mitchell Johnson looking nervous against Umar as usual.

 

[Markhor]

Umar Akmal now needs to calm down, no need for tulla-baazi. Need to build this partnership, its only 36. Another 40-50 needed from this pair.

 

[Zamee]

Why did he change his action and runup? It was so smooth earlier

 

[Zamee]

Good bowling

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very well done from Umar.

 

[Square Drive]

yup

Right. That's one area he has to improve on. Must be a tad patient.

kitni boy pe lagaya , kitna gas me bhagaya , khushboo kitna chalee gi , sooch mere bhayaaaa

LOL my favourite ad! ) )

 

[Zamee]

Good shot

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

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

He is the beast when he gets going...:umarakmal.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nicely played. 1 run.

 

[qamar84]

:umarakmal please don't try anything extra here

 

[Inswinger]

We need 10 more overs from these 2.

 

[Zamee]

Bachattt

 

[Little Master]

Shafiq beaten, good over from Johnson

 

[Zamee]

Kia bakwas add hai. Apna tennis player

 

[Bullet Drive]

Its clearly evident Umar is the best in the team.

 

[JibranAnsari]

very hot there

 

[Square Drive]

Future looking bright. :nj :umarakmal

 

[Zamee]

Its clearly evident Umar is the best in the team.

Asad has played better than him so far...

 

[Strike!]

The hell is up with this USAid ad?

 

[Markhor]

PAK 136-4 | 31 overs

Need at least 5.5 an over from here on.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar averaging 39 in ODI cricket now

 

[Saurav]

kitni boy pe lagaya , kitna gas me bhagaya , khushboo kitna chalee gi , sooch mere bhayaaaa

what does bhayaaa even mean))

 

[Inswinger]

Asad almost edged that one. Umpires should be taking more drinks breaks here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Asad has played better than him so far...

He has, both have played superbly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

47 to Shafiq. Hoping this is only half the job. Want a ton.

 

[Markhor]

Leg cutter from Daniel Christian.

 

[Zamee]

Cant believe this trundler bowled Misbah

 

[Inswinger]

what does bhayaaa even mean))

Brother? I guess

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I actually want Umar Akmal to succeed so we can define some sort of role for him.

He never knows what he's supposed to do.


At least the most talented batsmen in your side, should have an idea what he is supposed to do out in the middle.

 

[JibranAnsari]

umar has reached his fav score, hope he continues though

 

[Zamee]

47 to Shafiq. Hoping this is only half the job. Want a ton.

I want both of them to score atleast 70+ .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Because of this kind of bowling i have started hating odis.

 

[Zamee]

Well played Asad.
Wattay playaaa

 

[Sledger]

50 to Asad, great innings.

 

[Runner Up]

50 by Shafiq. Well played kid

 

[qamar84]

get his 50 in style with

 

[Little Master]

Good shot for four, 50 up for Shafiq. Well played

 

[Bullet Drive]

What a knock.

 

[attock]

Well played...........

 

[Markhor]

50 up for Shafiq !

Well played, sensible innings. Accelerated when needed to, took a while to get going but rotated strike well once he settled in.

 

[Munna]

The good thing is that these two boys have already secured berth in the next match!

The bad thing is... misbah will come out to bat before both of them

 

[Zamee]

umar has reached his fav score, hope he continues though

He is looking quite good today. Inshallah will score big

 

[JibranAnsari]

Very good backfoor drive for a single , it looks east but its a difficult shot.
