Pakistan vs Australia | 1st ODI | Sharjah | 28/8/12 | Australian Innings

[A.M.]

btw Pattinson can bat a bit too i think

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Thankfully we have DRS in this game.

Wait what?? )

 

[Looney]

I was hoping for another wicket on the last ball . Need some coffee

 

[JibranAnsari]

The two batsmen would have easily played out Ajmal's over leaving Tanvir's over for the last where they would have scored. What else was Misbah supposed to do?

easily? Not really , as you see one mor gets oout to his bowling. You need to get wickets not save runs all the time.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This isnt Pakistan.

They aren't gonna crumble to 190 all out.

 

[A.M.]

Azhar should ball its hard to hit the spinners by the look of things

 

[A.M.]

Cheema bowling come on bowl some yorkers

 

[IgnitedMind]

14 from 4 overs...still can swing pakistan way

 

[Looney]

Tanvir taken off L O L

 

[Square Drive]

One more wicket...

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think misbah should resign from odi captaincy and asad should take over it.

 

[A.M.]

single

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Easy singles.

 

[adnan yasin]

how can you get a wicket from that length .. ??????????///

 

[Looney]

14 from 4 overs...still can swing pakistan way

Hope so

 

[Indiafan]

easily? Not really , as you see one mor gets oout to his bowling. You need to get wickets not save runs all the time.

Yes, they would have defended and seen his over off. He got this wicket because the batsman was attacking him, he wouldnt have played reverse sweep if target was still 30+ like it was before Tanvir's over. Then I am sure you only would blame Misbah for not leaving Ajmal overs in the end

 

[zulfiqar]

who r they bringing on?

 

[A.M.]

another single

 

[JibranAnsari]

 

[zulfiqar]

aziz beta thorray runs bacha ke rakhna Ajmal ke liye

 

[Strike!]

Nothing would have happened. The batsmen wouldnt have taken any risks waiting for Tanvir's over. It was only because the target is so low that they decided to attack Ajmal this over

I don't think they would have left it that late.

 

[Warfare]

Not only is Tanvir a pathetic bowler, he's also a pathetic fielder.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Is ten slower? you guys are a ball or two quicker than the live telecast

 

[golimar]

Aus has this in the bag now

 

[zulfiqar]

gonna go away for a bit and see if theres nething left for ajmal to bowl at

 

[Runner Up]

I am impressed with Aussies here. Professionally done.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Well atleast Cheema looks like he cares. That alot considering Tanvir's bowling

 

[azimiqbal]

i think junaid should be given chance next game

 

[A.M.]

Bailey might look for a big shot

 

[A.M.]

dotttt

 

[IgnitedMind]

11 of 19!!

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Yorkers please.....cheema

 

[golimar]

Not only is Tanvir a pathetic bowler, he's also a pathetic fielder.

equally pathetic batsman

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yes, they would have defended and seen his over off. He got this wicket because the batsman was attacking him, he wouldnt have played reverse sweep if target was still 30+

No , ajmal is an attacking bowler and has tricks to get wickets unlike cheema and tanvir. You do not leave spinners for final overs as it is easier to hit spinners in the final overs.

 

[A.M.]

if it goes to the last over Tanvir would ball it

 

[A.M.]

need a maiden

 

[Sledger]

11 required.

 

[IgnitedMind]

10 of 3 overs!!

Ajmal over very key...1 wicket and 0/1 run..will make it interesting

 

[Indiafan]

I don't think they would have left it that late.

Ajmal only had 2 overs, they had 5 overs from other bowlers. Even if they take only 5 runs from Ajmal's overs, they would need only 25+ in 4 overs from others

 

[cricketpassion]

Next match Junaid Khan should play instead of Tanveer

 

[MRSN]

not the best of the captaincy from Misbah today either.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Last over of ajmal?

 

[Warfare]

equally pathetic batsman

Of course.

Some of his fans here on PP consider him an all rounder.

 

[A.M.]

a wicket every second ball would do

 

[Sledger]

Just 10 needed.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

i sense a doosra nowray:

 

[A.M.]

misfield

 

[NA]

i just hope next match we learn some lessons

and play 4 spinners

I hope they don't. Pakistan tried it in the series against England here in UAE and lost that game too. Pacers (good ones) are needed to bring a different angle to the attack. Batsmen then need to adjust to the different forms of attack and at least spent some thought process on that. In this game, at the end Australians were milking Afridi and Azhar Ali with easy singles and twos.

What I fear 'll happen is that Shoaib Malik will be brought in for Tanvir, and Junaid for Cheema. And then we'll have five spinners in the team! Junaid will have no support from the other end and will likely bowl five or six overs.

 

[A.M.]

one run

 

[adnan yasin]

Why did he give ajmal to bowl this over .. would have saved it for last

 

[Indiafan]

No , ajmal is an attacking bowler and has tricks to get wickets unlike cheema and tanvir. You do not leave spinners for final overs as it is easier to hit spinners in the final overs.

Agreeed, but both batsmen did defend him easily in the previous overs, they would have done the same and waited for Tanvir or Cheema to come

 

[Runner Up]

Body language of Pak players tells that story. Just a matter of time now. Had they played full 50 overs, would have been different situation.

 

[Sledger]

Mis-field by the bowler - single taken.

 

[A.M.]

brilliant fielding

 

[IgnitedMind]

8 of 15!!

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

well done umar

 

[Sledger]

Good stop by Umar, that will bring the ReqRR up.

 

[A.M.]

single and a very good fifty for George Baily

 

[Looney]

Their top order struggled more against spin

50 for Bailey

 

[Sledger]

Tuk tuk 50 by Bailey.

 

[Khaleefa]

Need a couple of sixes to end the misery ... plz bring on Sohail Tanvir to bowl

 

[A.M.]

1/2 a run every ball nedded

 

[Sledger]

106ks by Saeed - almost Tanvir pace.

 

[A.M.]

7 to win of 12 balls would be interesting if it goes to the last over

 

[IgnitedMind]

7 of 2 !!

Need one brilliant over....

aus game to loose

 

[Warfare]

106ks by Saeed - almost Tanvir pace.

 

[hashmist]

Captaincy was the difference in this match. Clarke took the gamble of bowling his best bowlers upfront and it paid off. Misbah on the other hand was too afraid to use up his best bowlers upfront. Stupid Misbah!

 

[Strike!]

Need 2 maidens.

 

[Runner Up]

Big Shot coming. They won't wait for the last over.

 

[cricketworm]

Very good innings by Maxwell and Bailey under pressure!

 

[Runner Up]

as I said

 

[A.M.]

nice shot

 

[IgnitedMind]

Done!!

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:6 har gae ab crowd is going now.

 

[A.M.]

still no yorker

 

[chui_kadoo]

 

[cricketworm]

There it is! 6

Congrats Aus. 30 more runs and Pak. would have won this game.

 

[Runner Up]

Congrats to the Aussies, well deserved victory. Pakistan team should learn how to chase

 

[waqar goraya]

Nevertheless a good game in the end..Pakistan made too many mistakes while batting ..
