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

[UP]

"Fast bowlers" did us proud

 

[A.M.]

good effort by the bowlers but only if we had played 50 overs

 

[chui_kadoo]

our fast bowlers are a damm joke. Not a single wicket

 

[Sledger]

Australia win. Pakistan should have won this match tbh.

 

[IgnitedMind]

1st win for Aus in sharjah

 

[Indiafan]

Tuk tuk 50 by Bailey.

He doesnt play for his strike rate but for his team

 

[chui_kadoo]

comfortable victory in the end

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!

I think Misbah was brave with his bowling, with opting to open with Hafeez.

There just werent enough runs on the board to defend

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan slump to their first Sharjah loss against Aus.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I can only see Australia getting stronger and stronger. 3-0 to the Aussies I feel

Indian trundlers >>>>>>> current Pakistani 'fast' bowlers

I think Cheema has played his last ODI today.

 

[A.M.]

InshAllah next match Asad and Umars innings were positives in the batting and Nasir too looked good for sometime

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Hey i knew this would happen.

You have just 30 overs of spin.

And 20 overs of dross.

And Australia are too good at exploiting dross.

The 20 overs i think decided the match.

 

[chui_kadoo]

If we had to chase this score we would have crumbled

 

[zulfiqar]

Its funny how now we'll talk about dropping bowlers and that's fine but really, what can we do to ensure we dont fail with the bat again?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Although there was a time at 67/4 when i thought they would be 120 all out : (

 

[truthseer]

Congratulations to the Aussies. Back to the drawing board for us, I guess but plenty of positives

 

[chui_kadoo]

I would rather play with 5 spinners then these two awful trundlers

 

[chui_kadoo]

Our fast bowlers and batsmen are to blame

 

[zulfiqar]

30 overs of spin: 6-96
remaining 18.2 overs: 0-97

they don't have 'sooper-stars' in their team but players who play according to situation

 

[golimar]

lol worth a shot

 

[Dr_Bassim]

In all fairness to Tanveer and Cheema one could make a case, that Starc and Pattinsion were not that good either.

Just Pakistani batsmen inept shots that gifted them all the wickets and made them look like world beaters

Nothing in pitch for fast bowlers at all.

 

[zulfiqar]

why isn't umar gul here again? Surely he's our first seamer for the T20 world cup so why isn't he being given practice like Kakmal is?

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

30 overs of spin: 6-96
remaining 18.2 overs: 0-97

That's pathetic..

 

[zulfiqar]

Pattinson gave away 19 runs in 10 and starc took a 5'fer so not sure you can say they "were not that good"!

 

[Kean0]

I have no idea why Cheema is still picked as a bowler?
7.2 0 38 0 5.18
no wicket for fast bowlers so why not play with all the spinners?
