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

[PapaRomeo]

I reckon 230 may be a winning score here

You funny dude. HOW will they get there?

 

[Little Master]

Again pathetic running

 

[Little Master]

Anything less than 275 would be below par here

 

[Runner Up]

Clarke removed his pace attack only because it's very hot out there and he doesn't want his bowlers to get exhausted. That's the only reason I think

 

[Markhor]

It seems Ramadan has really got to our players. Poor communication there between Misbah and Shafiq, should've ran the extra run from that overthrow there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hopefully Johnson will be poor today!

 

[talha3]

Johnson in, Akmals love him.

 

[PapaRomeo]

That a poor country like Pakistani that unfortunately lacks quite a bit in most phases of human life, let alone sports systems, that we are 55 for 3 in any international competition is commendable....

 

[Legend Killer]

Would have Malik ahead of Shafiq any day.

Lol Malik would have been out by now, you think he would have lasted an over against the Aussie Pacers?

 

[A.M.]

Robin said in the pitch report 230-240 is a good score here we just need two gud partnerships here

 

[Little Master]

Jhonson in, single of the first ball

 

[Raz]

Australia were being clever there. Getting the spinners through their overs quickly whilst Pakistan were forced to rebuild. And spinners have escaped unscathed.

 

[lilFlip]

can I tuk it?
yes you can!

 

[Inswinger]

What the hell are you on about?

 

[chui_kadoo]

You funny dude. HOW will they get there?

I guess scratch around till the 35th over and then Umar Akmal and Afridi can accelerate at the end.

 

[Saurav]

Akmal bros left to slog

 

[Little Master]

Bowling a decent line so far

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq batting way to cautiously.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Aggressive stroke from asad

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Waqar in commie box

 

[qamar84]

not looking bad today

 

[Sledger]

RR is still decent, just need a partnership for 10-15 more overs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

4 off the over.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Both striking at 55 and under.....

 

[Little Master]

3 from the over, need to get at least 4 to 5 singles each over even if boundaries are hard to come by

 

[PapaRomeo]

What the hell are you on about?

Hell? I think not...not yet...hopefully. But apparently the Aussies think that the heat in the UAE is akin to hell....

 

[sehban]

225 is a competitive score here i feel...the bounce so far has been pretty uneven and the pitch seems to be holding up

 

[Munna]

Meanwhile in Southampton, a guy named Amla is still not dismissed

 

[PapaRomeo]

I guess scratch around till the 35th over and then Umar Akmal and Afridi can accelerate at the end.

Hmmmm...okay Good Luck Pakistan....

 

[Markhor]

Waqar saying that he's not seen such bounce at Sharjah for a long time, referring to Jamshed's dismissal.

 

[Little Master]

drinks break?

 

[the Great Khan]

everything is a first for wiqi bhai..

 

[Runner Up]

Partnership 22(39)

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah is rotating very well.

 

[Bilal7]

Shafiq not playing well here. Needs to rotate the strike more.

 

[Sledger]

Almost four wickets down then. Couldn't take the catch.

 

[Markhor]

Daniel Christian on to bowl now. 15 wickets from 15 matches.

 

[Asif321]

aussies have great team combination ...

 

[cricketpassion]

:4

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very well played by Shafiq.

 

[Sledger]

Four to fine leg. Shafiq looks good.

 

[Runner Up]

Shafiq not playing well here. Needs to rotate the strike more.

He alongwith Misbah doing fine. Already 3 down should spend some time on the crease.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq batting beautifully now.

 

[qamar84]

problem today is that outfield is very slow some of the shot pakistan has played should end has boundaries but they could get only couple of runs from them

 

[Markhor]

Caught and bowled chance !

Straight down the ground, Christian was in his follow-through, got a finger to it. Pakistan living dangerously here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

6 off the over.

 

[Markhor]

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

game not over til Aussies bat .We'll know the pitch then.

 

[Little Master]

Aussies have packed their side with quicks where as we have gone with a spin dominant attack. Seems as if one of the two has read the pitch incorrectly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very good over. Remember this pitch is real tough. Once your set you have to go big though. Will be hard for the new batsman. This is a perfect oppurtunity for both to reach their maiden ton.

 

[qamar84]

Shafiq batting beautifully now.

really ........really...........really.................really

 

[Little Master]

Should have been three on this one too

 

[Runner Up]

Leg byes? I think he edged.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq 20* - getting settled now.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Poor running between wickets.

Pak has missed 4 or 5 chances where they could have run two. Instead, they settled for the easier single.

 

[Little Master]

Single to Shafiq

 

[Bullet Drive]

Cut away beautifully down to third man.

 

[Sledger]

RR back over 4.

 

[the Great Khan]

they have virender warner in their side..wee have hafeez..nuff said..

 

[Runner Up]

good shot by Misbah for a couple.

 

[Little Master]

2 to Kaptaan

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 runs to Misbah. Runs coming bit quicker of late.

 

[Sledger]

game not over til Aussies bat .We'll know the pitch then.

230+ could be a decent score if Pakistan bowl well and don't just rely on spin.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Johnson been too straight all day.

 

[talha3]

Keep a run rate of around 4 until the 30ish over. Then we can attack the last 20 and get to 250+

 

[Little Master]

Finally things seem to be settling a tad

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Nice little passage of play for Pakistan

 

[Markhor]

Sharjah, so many famous matches and memories. All those great Pak vs Ind matches in the 90s at the ground. Pakistan have a 69% win percentage at the ground.

 

[PapaRomeo]

Caught and bowled chance !

Straight down the ground, Christian was in his follow-through, got a finger to it. Pakistan living dangerously here.

Oeyy, moochh nahin tey kucchh naheen......is there any other way to live?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Boys need to hit some boundaries.

 

[the Great Khan]

chulo inshallah brainless the boy wonder wont have any excuses today!! lets hope cuptaan and shafiqa can get us a decent platforum!!

 

[Runner Up]

Partnership 34(51)

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great run.

 

[Khaleefa]

Truly awesome to see Asad Shafiq batting in testing situations. I hope this will toughen him up and get him ready to take on bigger challenges with more responsibility. well played Mashallah! Keep it up.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Our boys are running well./

 

[the Great Khan]

Boys need to hit some boundaries.

get it right..its boayz need choakay shoakay!!

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

230+ could be a decent score if Pakistan bowl well and don't just rely on spin.

yeah , I hope Misbah and Shafiq battle it out then we can hope for some quick runs from akmal brothers and fridi.

 

[the Great Khan]

Truly awesome to see Asad Shafiq batting in testing situations. I hope this will toughen him up and get him ready to take on bigger challenges with more responsibility. well played Mashallah! Keep it up.
