Pakistan vs Australia | 3rd ODI | Sharjah | 03/09/12 | Pakistan innings

[Maher96]

Out!

 

[ads101]

or they think Afridi will go for a big one and not clear the boundary and get caught instead.

Afridi's playing sensible though. Hopefully he won't do that.

and I was saying.....

 

[imshally81]

out

 

[x-man]

Lala gone

 

[Sledger]

Afridi out. Was expected.

 

[adnan yasin]

Short ball and hit it ..... it was in his zone

LALA gone

 

[whyamir]

Afridi in, afridi out!

 

[JibranAnsari]

and afridi goes

 

[x-man]

Should have PP

 

[waqar goraya]

Good idea to take powerplay now and waste their better bowlers

 

[Maher96]

Get Azhar in i say.

 

[qamar84]

 

[Fawad2010]

ok, can we play some real cricket now?

 

[oyei]

lala walks out

 

[JilaWatan]

hahah afridi being afridi

 

[Maher96]

Umer in now

 

[BHM :D]

Well done.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Oh well.

 

[Sledger]

"The dangerman"

Hasn't been that with the bat for a long time.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Should have sent Ali in

 

[x-man]

Umar akmal pls

 

[lilFlip]

Lol Afridi is like 'PPV' paisay khatam? darwaza band xD

 

[ritzy_123]

lol as expected.. why he looks so sad... he has lost all the interest in cricket..

 

[PB]

Lol he sucks.

 

[shaykh1985]

Some aggressive captaincy there...cant fault him for that...the Afridi experiment failed...but shouldn't effect us too much...

 

[Bullet Drive]

Is Umar in?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Afridi attempt to save his a$$ did not work.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

bad luck for afridi, went straight to a man.

 

[oyei]

lala walks out with a strike rate or 116. oh yea lmao

 

[Asif321]

lmao hogayi tasali afridi .... promote karke bhi

 

[JilaWatan]

afridi's uselessness exemplified here

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hopefully it won't be Azhar in..

 

[Maher96]

Good thinking by aussies woke the beast up.

 

[JibranAnsari]

send shafiq in.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Afridi )

 

[Fawad2010]

I'd have rather got Umar Akmal or Kamran at 1 down.

 

[waqar goraya]

Should have taken powerplay if they were going for boundaries..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq in

 

[x-man]

I'm sure Azhar may come

 

[JilaWatan]

we need ali in not umar.

 

[ads101]

ah well.

Dunno who they should send in now. Rather keep umar for later. Azhar I guess?

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

Afridi 6 balls ka mehman lol

 

[Strike!]

Retarded decision to send Afridi in early anyway.

 

[waqar goraya]

Asad should be sent in

 

[lilFlip]

Asad ¿

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Collapse needs to be avoided just be sensible and get 270-280.

 

[Fawad2010]

I hope we don't get into a shell.

 

[saeedhk]

please do not collapse

 

[akamaka]

the thing with afridi is, he hardly gets bogged down, if he played singles and rotated strike we would easily go at 5-6 runs overs and over but he has to go for boundaries

 

[ritzy_123]

bad luck for afridi, went straight to a man.

how many times he got out at the same shot at the same area... bro it wasn't bad luck.. i call it a blunder..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq must rotate strike here. Forget trying to be over aggressive as he cannot do that. Just look to get Hafeez on strike.

 

[shah_1]

it more been puss puss rather than boom boom for afridi for a year or so

 

[x-man]

Need cautious play

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Retarded decision to send Afridi in early anyway.

No it was good, he would have done the same lower in order, now we dont have to think what afridi would do. Lets get on with the game.

 

[saeedhk]

Need sensible batting.

 

[ads101]

There is too many overs left, send in one of our other batsmen. Then that batsman can hit out if we need umar to come in.

I might be tempted to send in asad, but I don't want Azhar coming in at six or so due to players playing out of position (and too much messing around with the order). Stick with the order now.

 

[whyamir]

Umar akmal at #6.....dear lord this Misbah and co. are extremely stupid. Wasted talent.

 

[JibranAnsari]

yar we are not gona score more than 250 anyway, hafeez will be cautious with century in sight and shafiq plays with 70 SR.

 

[ritzy_123]

No it was good, he would have done the same lower in order, now we dont have to think what afridi would do. Lets get on with the game.

i agree!!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We should still get to 250 from here. Need to play positively from now till end.

 

[saeedhk]

the thing with afridi is, he hardly gets bogged down, if he played singles and rotated strike we would easily go at 5-6 runs overs and over but he has to go for boundaries

True.I just saud that to my brotjet

 

[x-man]

Shafiq

 

[OmaIR1]

No it was good, he would have done the same lower in order, now we dont have to think what afridi would do. Lets get on with the game.

I agree.. it was a good gamble by Misbah.. it just didn't pay off.. oh well..

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Afridi useless as ever

 

[Sledger]

Shafiq in ahead of Azhar.

 

[Farhan2c]

Wow ppl here r retarded n narrow minded. Look at the bright side. The decision by dav. Gives u an idea how he's thinking

 

[BHM :D]

Shafiq probably the right choice here.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

is it drinks?

 

[JilaWatan]

I DONT GET shafiq;s logic... if they needed someone to stabalize they shiuld have just sent azhar

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Johnson took both wickets and have only 4 overs left. I think we will see two of them in PP

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rotate strike Shafiq!

 

[JibranAnsari]

tuk tuk begins

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I DONT GET shafiq;s logic... if they needed someone to stabalize they shiuld have just sent azhar

I really feel shafiq is better than azhar.

 

[Farhan2c]

Nap time lol

 

[ads101]

yar we are not gona score more than 250 anyway, hafeez will be cautious with century in sight and shafiq plays with 70 SR.

Both of these guys unlikely to last to 50 overs. One will get out. Plenty of time.

If umar was sent in and gets out quickly our team will just shut down. Better mentally to have them waiting in the wings. don't want guys like Azhar expected to slog, won't work. We took a risk with one of our three quick scoring batsman, leave the other two later on.

 

[Sledger]

Shafiq off the mark with a single.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Surely sending Umar 7 overs before the PP was the best option. Allows him to get settled..

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Umar akmal at #6.....dear lord this Misbah and co. are extremely stupid. Wasted talent.

They send afridi at 3 not umar.

for dav and

 

[asif9138]

spin is on ..good for safiq!!

 

[ads101]

think more the problem is Azhar shafiq misbah. They should all be in the team but that order doesn't look good. I'd have mixed it up a bit and sent umar in between somewhere.
