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

[chui_kadoo]

you mean abysmal trundlers???

Its sad that this the best we have to offer

 

[x-man]

-(

 

[JilaWatan]

man these late starts are perfect for viewers like me in usa

 

[Looney]

Azhar Ali could bowl a couple overs

YES that is exactly how desperately I don`t want phaast bowlers bowling

 

[adnan yasin]

I guess the think tank missed a trick then. Rehman has been in great form recently

missing the trick since ages

by putting junaid khan out ... and playing cheema

and filling batsman and think 7 not scoring runs so 9 batsman will score runs

playing only 5 bowlers against aussies

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Need a wicket quickly.

 

[golimar]

Younus khan is sleeping in his home

or gone fishing

 

[Looney]

88/4

 

[Looney]

or gone fishing

in the middle of the sea

 

[Maher96]

Y ddnt thy try anwar ali ir use in form
Junaid is out of my mind. They recalled cheema who was out of sl series.

 

[Sledger]

Bailey 7(23) lol.

 

[Sledger]

Bailey beaten yet again.

 

[taqi]

Twenty overs wasted in shape of tanver and chema

 

[adnan yasin]

I m missing TEST MATCHES

Unlimited spin bowling

 

[cricfan967]

Azhar Ali could bowl a couple overs

YES that is exactly how desperately I don`t want phaast bowlers bowling

Azhar Ali actually started out as a bowler, he's a bowler turned batsmen so he must possess some quality

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan doing well here, Australia being choked and boundaries not coming. Get Clarke and the rest can fall cheaply.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Azhar Ali could bowl a couple overs

YES that is exactly how desperately I don`t want phaast bowlers bowling

Are we still talking about pak bowling attack? Sad to say we are

 

[cricfan967]

I would much rather have Junaid and Wahab in the side for pace than these two

 

[Asif321]

is raza hasan in the squad?

no ..

 

[adnan yasin]

Pakistan doing well here, Australia being choked and boundaries not coming. Get Clarke and the rest can fall cheaply.

ony 10 overs of spin left .. thats the worst part

 

[Maher96]

Azhar ali. Give him the damn ball.

 

[golimar]

Pak needs to push the Aus req RR over 6.0

 

[Bilal7]

Afridi, Hafeez and likely Ajmal will each have three overs to bowl in the last ten overs. If Tanvir and Cheema can stay economical between now and then, we'll win this.

 

[Asif321]

anwer ali and junaid should b used as pacers ...

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

aggression from uncle cheema

 

[Sledger]

Come on Cheema, just need you to contribute a wicket here.

 

[cricfan967]

Cheema's going to get dispatched soon, I feel it

 

[Sledger]

Boom Boom Bailey back on strike.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Req run rate is slowly going up but unless we bowl aussies out here we wont defend this total.

 

[adnan yasin]

Fast bowlers 2 wickets please ...

 

[Sledger]

2 runs taken.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Future captain fielding at 3rd man.

 

[Asif321]

lol cheema .. zaida natak mat kar ab chakka padegha

 

[adnan yasin]

solid drive to mid off ... no run

 

[Sledger]

Need a wicket, too much pressure on the spinners. Australia's fast bowlers did all the damage against Pakistan so it's not impossible.

 

[Asif321]

Future captain fielding at 3rd man.

should have been in playing XI

 

[Khaleefa]

The fact that Pakistan has pulled it all the way up to the 27th over is a victory in itself. I thought the game will be over by the 25th over.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

PAK were 112-4 at this stage of innings

AUS are 93-4

 

[chui_kadoo]

missing the trick since ages

by putting junaid khan out ... and playing cheema

and filling batsman and think 7 not scoring runs so 9 batsman will score runs

playing only 5 bowlers against aussies

I guess this is what we payed Dav Whatmore for. All that money for nothing. Thats his job.

 

[cricfan967]

Malik would've been really useful here, both bat and ball

 

[adnan yasin]

T20 captain and One day captain ... keeping things under control for aussies ..

 

[Sledger]

3 off the over. Still drying up the boundaries but really need to break this partnership.

 

[MRSN]

only if we had one more good spinner

 

[imshally81]

Cheema spell is very critical...

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

The fact that Pakistan has pulled it all the way up to the 27th over is a victory in itself. I thought the game will be over by the 25th over.

Bas ziyada hogaya bhai

 

[adnan yasin]

I guess this is what we payed Dav Whatmore for. All that money for nothing. Thats his job.

He is doing the same thing ... so yes exactly .. what are we paying for

 

[imshally81]

Afridi on

 

[cricfan967]

Afridi back

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

should have been in playing XI

Hopefully he plays at 3 in place of azhar in the next match.

 

[leatherface58]

am i the only one who thinks johnson's action has become ugly and jerky? it was somewhat fluid and hence he got a bagful of wickets in 2008-09(before ashes). however even vs afghanistan, his action was not fluid at all. maybe he is trying to be too quick. but he is simply not the bowler he was.

 

[Sledger]

Afridi is back.

 

[Looney]

If Pakistan play 4 specialist bowlers next match , at least leave out Cheema and Sohail Tanvir . I don`t know what ST did against SL , maybe mixed something in their drinks .

 

[adnan yasin]

Come on lala ... pitch it up

 

[giri26]

common guys just 2 wickets down. Pakistan can still recover to a decent 200-220 total which will be hard to chase on this track against quality spinners

This is what I posted in the Pak innings thread. It has come true at least in terms of the difficulty the Aussies are having scoring runs.

 

[Sledger]

Afridi just isn't as accurate as the Afridi of 2-3 years ago.

 

[adnan yasin]

Short by afridi

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Loose deliveries from afridi.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Afridi is bowling a fantastic over.

 

[imshally81]

Good bowl by lala

 

[Sledger]

Australia have done very well to keep wickets in hand here. Tanvir's trundling will be easy to smash at 12 an over if that's required.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Afridi just isn't as accurate as the Afridi of 2-3 years ago.

Age is catching up with him.

 

[imshally81]

Afridi is bowling a fantastic over.

Sarcasm ??

 

[adnan yasin]

Afridi not looking like taking a wicket .. so far

 

[iRfaN_LA]

doubles are killing it. We need a wicket.

 

[Maher96]

They wont win.

 

[JibranAnsari]

get a wicket please

 

[Bilal7]

Bad over from Afridi. He should be looking to choke the batsmen with Cheema bowling from the other end.

 

[A.M.]

slower ball by Cheema

 

[taqi]

Wicket in next 2 overs ortherwise we'll lose

 

[Strike!]

Need to get Clarke out.

 

[PapaRomeo]

should have been in playing XI

Yaro mujhe muaaf karo, mein nushey mein hoon......

 

[saeed-sohail]

Need a run out here.

 

[Khaleefa]

Bas ziyada hogaya bhai

kia karain yar ab? .... "Dil kay khush rakhnay ko Ghalib ye khayal acha hai".

 

[786warrior]

if this was the other way round i.e Pak 99 for 4 chasing 199 - you know it would be 145 all out!!! but any other team batting WE can't relax as they don't give up like our suckers

 

[A.M.]

good lines from Cheema so far

 

[PapaRomeo]

Afridi gave up 6 in the last over....come on Lala - make up for your batting heroics.....

 

[Khaleefa]

Need to get Clarke out.

May be Misbah can lead from the front and take the matters into his own hand by bowling an over and getting Clarke clean bowled on the very first ball ?

 

[JibranAnsari]

out ho jaaoooo

 

[sali]

No Aus is going to throw away their wkts. I guess they didn't learn much from Pak batting.

 

[golimar]

Yaro mujhe muaaf karo, mein nushey mein hoon......

kis ka nusha hai
