Pakistan vs Australia | 5th ODI | Abu Dhabi | 3/5/09 | Pakistan Innings

[HuZi]

nice cut from akmal for 44444444444444

 

[Deewana Mastana]

11 runs off the over! Thats better!

 

[pak4life]

finally some pressure on the bowlers

 

[hashman]

risky but good close cut shot by akmal

 

[Lethal]

Good over for Pakistan. 11 off it.

88-3 off 20 overs.

 

[Mohsin]

Runs seem to be flowing a little more better now

 

[HuZi]

finally looking positiv and playing faster

 

[Da Best]

88 of 20 overs.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

I say we screw the idea of having full time openers, and we start with Akmal and Afridi.

If your gonna get out, might as well try to be aggressive..

 

[Lethal]

The last 2.1 overs - Pakistan have scored 24 runs.

 

[iafzal]

wow these two are playing so unlike pak at this stage of the match. should have eaten the same thing in last couple of games too

 

[HuZi]

88-3 after 20 overs

 

[Lethal]

Misbah plays a good cut shot. Another 4.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbah getting a move on today!

4 runs!

 

[Da Best]

Wow nice shot.

 

[HuZi]

4444444444444 misbah

 

[Inswinger]

What timing!!!!

 

[Garuda]

Khatmal and Misbah are playing good. The openers and YK should have played like this during the powerplays.

Another 6-8 overs like this guys and aussies will feel pressure.

 

[IAJ]

last 5 overs, 36 runs

 

[Da Best]

Quick single then.

 

[Inswinger]

4 and then 1. Excellent

 

[iZeeshan]

Misbah, Younus, and Malik were all fixed.

 

[hashman]

another boundary to misbah

 

[HuZi]

and a tight single taken

 

[Lethal]

Ohh Akmal beaten by a good delivery.

Sweep by Akmal for a single.

 

[pak4life]

misbah is back!

playing proper cricket shots & rotating strike

 

[iafzal]

these two have brought down the RRR from 5.71 to 5.37. Impressive!

 

[Inswinger]

Khatmal and Misbah are playing good. The openers and YK should have played like this during the powerplays.

Another 6-8 overs like this guys and aussies will feel pressure.

That's why many people have been advocating for Kami to open the innings. He's been excellent at the top of the order.

 

[Lethal]

That big guy looked like Yousuf Pathan.

 

[HuZi]

95-3 afetr 21

[Da Best]

Hauritz looks pi55ed!

 

[Inswinger]

misbah is back!

playing proper cricket shots & rotating strike

2 matches too late.
Kami taking some risk now.

 

[Lethal]

2 more to Akmal.

Now we get 4 byes.

 

[IAJ]

100 is up

 

[Da Best]

4 byes!

 

[FAM]

lol! 4 byes

 

[HuZi]

missed everything

 

[iZeeshan]

Kamran Akmal is way too good of a batsman to come in the last 5 overs and hit around.

He should be opening or coming at 3, permanently.

 

[hashman]

100 up

 

[Mohsin]

See. You play more daring cricket, the runs will come!

This is Pakistani brand cricket...fianlly!

 

[Syndrome]

This is the type of intent you want to see. Play positively on merit, on the ground.

 

[HuZi]

Last 5 ovs 39/0 RR 7.80 this is what we need

 

[Inswinger]

Kamran Akmal is way too good of a batsman to come in the last 5 overs and hit around.

He should be opening or coming at 3, permanently.

If he had been groomed as an opener in ODIs from the beginning of his career we would not have to face such issues right now,

 

[Lethal]

8 off that over.

Pakistan playing good cricket.

 

[Da Best]

Kamran Akmal is way too good of a batsman to come in the last 5 overs and hit around.

He should be opening or coming at 3, permanently.

No four IMO.IF no Yousuf.

 

[HuZi]

Current partnership 47 runs, 6.0 overs, RR: 7.83 (Kamran Akmal 24, Misbah-ul-Haq 19)

 

[Inswinger]

Now this is about the time I expect Misbah to play a stupid innovative shot and give his wicket away.

 

[Da Best]

That'll be 4!

 

[hashman]

If he had been groomed as an opener in ODIs from the beginning of his career we would not have to face such issues right now,

Spot On. Could of been a good potential partner with Butt/Shehzad/Jamshed/Khurram

 

[Lethal]

Another 4 to Misbah.

50 partnership off 37 balls.

 

[HuZi]

4444444444444444444444

 

[Inswinger]

What timing on that flick!!!!

 

[TaZ]

FINALLY - if youre going to lose, go out in style trying to win

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Great stuff by these 2!

 

[Lethal]

Outside edge. 4 to Akmal

 

[HuZi]

really gud partnership this they did drink some stuf that pumped them up

 

[iafzal]

Pak is on fire, what is up, Moshin must have smashed his crystal ball

 

[Pak_cricketer]

OK, what did we put in their drinks

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Streaky shot and goes for 4! Thats it! GO HARD!!! 4 runs for Akmal!

 

[Da Best]

Edged and 4.

 

[FAM]

Laughlin is a halwa bowler.

 

[HuZi]

edge and 4444444444444444

 

[Inswinger]

Luck is on our sside now!!
Edge for 4!

 

[Mohsin]

Edge and 4!

If you're gonna slash, slash hard!

 

[Lethal]

Deano thinks Akmal should bat at number 3.

 

[hashman]

deano has said it, akmal needs to come in at 3, long list of reasons provided as well

 

[iafzal]

As they say luck favors the brave, and Pak are giving it a try and being lucky

 

[HuZi]

last 5 over 49 runs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbah what did you eat today?

 

[Inswinger]

Deano thinks Akmal should bat at number 3.

Open or 3.

 

[TaZ]

Last 5 overs - 50 RUNS

 

[qaiser]

has pak taken 3 rd power play. if not , why?

 

[Inswinger]

really gud partnership this they did drink some stuf that pumped them up

I wonder......

 

[Da Best]

Last over 10 runs.

 

[Lethal]

has pak taken 3 rd power play. if not , why?

They don't need to. Its been Powerplay since these two have been together.

 

[iZeeshan]

Deano thinks Akmal should bat at number 3.

HE stole the idea from me.

 

[Inswinger]

has pak taken 3 rd power play. if not , why?

I don't thinks they have.

 

[HuZi]

2 dots still 10 of the over

[Syndrome]
