[shaykh1985]

Well done Gully...its been a disciplined spell...now finish with a dot...

 

[LethalSami]

we can chase this down!

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Around 170 is a stiff target

 

[chui_kadoo]

good comeback after the 11 th over

 

[Justcrazy]

167 / 2

 

[asif9138]

6 comming up in the last ball

 

[Saurav]

wat happened there?

 

[Sledger]

Cummins (MOS) in now.

 

[786warrior]

Beauty

 

[Sledger]

Full toss and a single. 169 to win.

 

[IAJ]

Amazing comeback from Pakistan!

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

169 to win.. should do it..

 

[asif9138]

asif9138 appears to have the fastest stream

yes jadoo works for me!!

 

[qamar84]

good last overs by gul aussies made only 168 )

 

[adnan yasin]

169 to win

Great come back by pakistan

 

[chui_kadoo]

we can chase this

 

[mithun_minhas]

12 Sixes scored in the innings!!!

Is that a record?

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

AUS 168-7

Overs 20

We restricted them well after their flying start

 

[chui_kadoo]

Imran Nazir better perform today

 

[Munna]

So 170 is the target

At one stage it looked like 200+

Amazing comeback esp after malik saab tried his best

 

[nads_rocks]

Gul now becomes the 2nd highest T20 wicket taker followed by Afridi in 3rd

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ajmal got hit for 2 sixes and still gave away only 19 :legend

 

[Navid]

Gul needs to learn slow bouncer. He will be deadly if he mixes that with his yokers.

Gul heard you

 

[Saurav]

Around 170 is a stiff target

Nazir will fire today.you hv got 4 overs spare:nazir

 

[Sledger]

So only 168 runs scored after a brutal start, Australia just fell away as Pakistan took a lot of wickets in quick time. Imran Nazir quick 50 coming up.

 

[ScotRaz]

Aussies have lost this, they should have at least got 200 with the start they had, we need the openers to go mental!

 

[sali]

Shoib Malik is the culprit. One over with 20 runs made the difference but still 168.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[shaykh1985]

Well done...

What a superb comeback...104-0 after 10 and just 64 off the last 10...that really is a brilliant comeback...7 wickets down for 64...

Confidence and momentum is with us...this is a good test for our batsman...

 

[Sledger]

Nothing more than a par score, whole Australia team may as well retire.

 

[LethalSami]

Malik with a 20 E/R

BZ

 

[TigerJat]

Tiger Gul- Cheeta

 

[MRSN]

Good comeback by the boys but still a very big total to chase.

 

[nads_rocks]

Brilliant comeback from Pakistan to restrict Aussies for under 170 when they were 110-0

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Need good start from the openers

 

[Inswinger]

Pakistan's highest successful T20 run chase was 165 vs Australia.

 

[asif9138]

good come back by bowlers!! would be challege for our batsmans!!

 

[Sledger]

Only a 7 minute interval.

 

[mithun_minhas]

we can chase this

I say NO!!!!

Too big of a score for Pak to chase.

I will be very surprised if Pak scores over 140 batting 2nd.

The huge target itself will be the biggest pressure.

 

[Justcrazy]

169 the target , if had not bowled it would have been 145

 

[asif9138]

today will be good practice for batsman before the world cup!

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Pakistan's highest successful T20 run chase was 165 vs Australia.

in 2007 T20 WC.

 

[adnan yasin]

I BEG

ARAFAT is a much better choice then tanvir for T20s ... and even in One dayers as well

he is a better batsman as well ..... and a superb fielder

its mind boggling for me .. that he is not selected in playing 11 on regular basis

 

[Justcrazy]

Come on pakistan ..........go for it.

 

[Sandeep]

Pak's batting will be tested... Aussies should get Jamshed out and go for the kill

 

[90MPH]

Aus still favourites but Pak still do have a chance - good comeback in the last 10 overs.

 

[saj001]

Time for Sialkot Stallion opener to show up tonight!!

 

[asadee]

Malik ruined it, otherwise a good performance

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Impressive. Pakistan suffocated Oz innings towards the end.

Target is achievable.

Arafat is a much better fielder...of that there is no doubt...batting wise not much different...but I would take Tanvir over Arafat anyday with the ball...and I don't rate Tanvir...

 

[Strike!]

Need Brainfart nazir to fire.

 

[OmaIR1]

I believe you may have the slowest stream.

 

[pacesensation]

Ye time hai gaarhay tarang ka, match ka sahee tol

Lols the thought of our captain opening and the look on his face will be funny.

 

[pacesensation]

it was not shoaib malik, it was Muhammad Hafeez's captaincy. What was he thinking, when he asked shoaib malik to bowl lol.

 

[sali]

Bad news: Extra bowlers are really ordinary. Except Razaq, others made to look very ordinary by Aussies.

Good news: Main bowling attack of Hafeez, Ajmal, Gul still did very good.

With Afridi in for Raza, we have one bowler that will be tough to juggle.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nazir & Nasir should open. Razzaq at 3. Kamran 4. Malik 5.

 

[saj001]

Arafat>Tanvir in every department.

 

[Square Drive]

Wonderful comeback. With the likes of Nazir, Nasir, Umar, Razzaq, Kamran, this target is pretty much achievable.

 

[mosh101]

Spinners bowled too short

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Haafeez opening )

 

[Boi]

) at how Bangladesh aren't mentioned in the pretenders to the throne in SS preview..but Ireland are!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez there

 

[Maher96]

Lets see how they go about it.

 

[shaykh1985]

Opening with Watto...interesting choice...

 

[Maher96]

great running.

 

[Sledger]

Two first ball.

 

[adnan yasin]

2 runs to start the innings

 

[saj001]

2 first ball.

 

[nads_rocks]

Why HAFEEZ WHY???

 

[saj001]

Two first ball.

too quick.

 

[Sledger]

Beaten outside off.

 

[Maher96]

Need Imran nazir to produce a special innings.

 

[Maher96]

flicked for 3 Imran nazir on strike.

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez whips it away for three.

 

[MRSN]

good running between the wickets so far by these

 

[adnan yasin]

flick to mid wicket . bit uppish

3 added to the total

no nazir on strike

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

bach gaya prof..

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez played the shot [edit]

 

[Maher96]

Hafeez signalling play solid.

 

[nads_rocks]

Nazir and Jamshed shud have been the openers to chase this down, I cnt see Hafeez hitting 6s"
