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

[Bullet Drive]

19 bowled. 76 for 3.

 

[Runner Up]

76/3 after 19

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Can Pakistan score more runs than Hashim Amla??

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Aus fielding is brilliant....

 

[Markhor]

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

Problem is that most of our bowlers are defensive. Tanvir, Cheema, Hafeez can all restrict the run-rate, Afridi is inconsistent and we don't know what we'll get from him so Ajmal is our only wicket-taker and attacking option.

 

[Little Master]

RR below 4 again

 

[Sledger]

4 to Misbah.

 

[Little Master]

Good shot by kaptaan

 

[qamar84]

straight drive

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

[Akmal Dynasty]

Partnership 40 from 61

 

[Bullet Drive]

80-3 after 20. Typical Misbah. Dot Dot Dot 4 Dot Dot

 

[Markhor]

PAK 80-3 | 20 overs

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The only downside i see is that umar akmal will come so late innings that him not performing will again b excused....

 

[Runner Up]

Load shedding time here in Karachi. internet streaming time

 

[Little Master]

Unnecessary risk for 1 run

 

[the Great Khan]

How can someone hate our best ODI bat so much

meray bhai hamay tu us say boht muhabat hay.. choata bhai hay hamara!!

 

[qamar84]

look at the way is rotating the strike

 

[chui_kadoo]

These two are consolidating well

 

[chui_kadoo]

If these two can bat till 35th over then we have a good chance of getting 230+

 

[Little Master]

They need to target this Christian dude, he looks crap

 

[PapaRomeo]

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

you mean 'fiqaa' right?

 

[Bullet Drive]

21 bowled. 81-3

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great partnership......

 

[Little Master]

85/3 at the end of 21 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar will take Pak to a winning score and Pakistan will win

 

[qamar84]

if these 2 stay there until the 30th over we will have a good chance to post 250+

 

[Sledger]

Another single for Asad, nice recovery by these two so far.

 

[qamar84]

good patnerships saved the match

 

[the Great Khan]

you mean 'fiqaa' right?

haan yaara oyee mutlab si mera!

 

[BlackThunder]

One of the best batsman in the world, period.

 

[chui_kadoo]

The run rate is pretty good

 

[qamar84]

where are our quaid tuk tuk haters ???????????????,

 

[khanz141]

This is awsome from cricinfo, made me crack up

Osman gets creative: "Hafeez [Haa-fee-z-] Adjective Meaning: Of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate. Sentence: The car gives only Hafeez mileage, and frankly, it's so so to drive. Synonyms: undistinguished, commonplace, pedestrian, everyday; run-of-the-mill, 15 - 23 runs, 1 for 43. Antonyms: Imran Nazir"

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:6

 

[cricketpassion]

:6

 

[Strike!]

These spinners are awful.

 

[talha3]

Good recovery, this.

 

[Little Master]

Six from Shafiq

 

[qamar84]

from :asad and all the stadium is going crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

6 and a single...wow

 

[Asif321]

misbah to score his first century any bet's ?

 

[PapaRomeo]

Say whatever you want about Misbah: he is the ONLY consistently reliable bat we have, all others are out to impress the ladies....or laddies as the case may be...

 

[Anwar_194]

 

[Bullet Drive]

That was a beauty

 

[whyamir]

Asad Shafiq: The great wall of Pakistan? Plays brilliantly under pressure, brings stability when the top order is collapsing, and can also keep the RR going.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Maxwell is a rubbish spinner.

from cricinfo commentary. ***

 

[Markhor]

SIX from Shafiq

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hoping Shafiq will get a maiden ton here

 

[Legend Killer]

:6, Asad shutting up all the haters

 

[Square Drive]

Solid shot Asad!!

 

[PapaRomeo]

...btw, you guys are at least 2 minutes ahead of cricinfo which is the only place I can follow from work....

 

[saj001]

Asad playing well! Yes malik can stay on bench now.

 

[qamar84]

misbah and asad are so good in this type of innings where they has to save the teams

 

[Executioner]

Say whatever you want about Misbah: he is the ONLY consistently reliable bat we have, all others are out to impress the ladies....or laddies as the case may be...

Very true!

Misbah is the best player to lead the side in tough times

 

[Legend Killer]

That was a beauty

So you still want Mailk in the team ahead of him?

 

[taqi]

Need to get atleast 250 here

 

[PapaRomeo]

Hoping Shafiq will get a maiden ton here

InshAllah......Chasm-e-bud duur....

 

[shah_1]

asad is the real deal

 

[Sledger]

These two have done well here, they aren't playing tuk tuk and the RR is still decent. Hopefully the lower order can boost up the score later on.

 

[Asif321]

shafiq is better odi batsmen then azhar

 

[Bullet Drive]

What is Misbah doing.

 

[Little Master]

Good over from Christian, just a single from the over

 

[Inswinger]

Misbah coming down with the angled bat.

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Score ?

 

[Sledger]

Shafiq has often showed a solid temperament in pressure situations, this is no fluke.

 

[Runner Up]

It's very slow Not enjoying the match thread.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah blocking way too many.

 

[qamar84]

if these bat until the 30th over and bring the sore to 140 we might have a chance to post a good total with the firepower we have today with kakmal ,junior and toola lala

 

[Khaleefa]

Glad to watch Asad playing a gem of an innings. Hope is not jinxed. I have always, ALWAYS rated him way ahead of Umer Akmal and Azhar Ali.

 

[Bullet Drive]

95-3

 

[Sledger]

98/3.
