[Garuda]

Misbah is playing it like 20-20. Good stuff today

 

[Lethal]

Where has this intent been in the last 3 games. This is the way the Aussie bowlers should have been treated.

 

[Inswinger]

Kami watching the ball onto the bat. Excellent job.

 

[IAJ]

death touch bye misbah

 

[Lethal]

Nice little flick by Misbah. Another 4.

 

[Da Best]

[iafzal]

finese shot by Misbah

 

[Inswinger]

Excellent.

 

[Plasma]

Amazing last few overs!

When we lost the third wicket i closed my stream, but then i thought maybe they can still pull it back.

Wonderful partership, they need to keep it going for at least another 50 runs!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sloppy fielding there by Aussies!

 

[Lethal]

What a shot by Kami. 444444444444

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot by Akmal! 4 runs!

 

[iafzal]

Umair: Pak should take the PowerPlay now. They have two guys that are striking it well, make full use of it now and get closer to the target, rather than wait till the end where you may have lost some wickets and got yourself into a hole again."

I agree with this guy

 

[cornered paktiger]

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

Or Farhat/Nazir/Hameed/Hafeez/Taufeeq/Malik!

 

[dirk diggler]

clarke and dar have words mmmm

 

[tauseefm]

Amazing shot by akmal

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whats Clarke crying about to Aleem Dar?

 

[HuZi]

[Inswinger]

WOW
Where hvae you been Kami!!!!!

 

[Da Best]

Good cricket. Kami 4, then a single.

 

[dirk diggler]

lovely cover drive from akmal

 

[iafzal]

One word BEAUTIFUL cover drive

 

[Inswinger]

Whats Clarke crying about to Aleem Dar?

Dar told him to stop skidding the ball.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

"They do it all the time"

shut it you old bender.

 

[tauseefm]

Umair: Pak should take the PowerPlay now. They have two guys that are striking it well, make full use of it now and get closer to the target, rather than wait till the end where you may have lost some wickets and got yourself into a hole again."

I agree with this guy

i have seen teams are playing well and when they take Powerplay they tend to lose wickets

 

[qaiser]

have they taken 3rd power play

 

[Lethal]

Umair: Pak should take the PowerPlay now. They have two guys that are striking it well, make full use of it now and get closer to the target, rather than wait till the end where you may have lost some wickets and got yourself into a hole again."

I agree with this guy

Whats the point. These 2 are playing as if it is a Powerplay anyway.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dar told him to stop skidding the ball.

Oh Ok!

 

[Da Best]

Whats Clarke crying about to Aleem Dar?

Ball going to keeper on the bounce.

 

[Best_Bacha]

PP shud be saved for Afridi

 

[cornered paktiger]

I agree with this guy

I disagree - they're already scoring at powerplay type rates - save it for when things get tight.

 

[Inswinger]

have they taken 3rd power play

No. No need for it yet.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just a single this time!

130 for 3 after 25 overs

 

[HuZi]

130-3 after 25

 

[Da Best]

7 runs of this over.

 

[dirk diggler]

"They do it all the time"

shut it you old bender.

)

 

[Lethal]

7 off that over.

130-3 off 25 overs.

That guy is massive. He should become a wrestler.

 

[Oxy]

Dar told him to stop skidding the ball.

Dar asked Pak not to do it....Aussie bowlers throwing the ball into the ground before their spells.

Not sure what Pontings, erm I mean Clarke's problem is if it applied to both teams.

But as we know, they dont like consistency....

 

[Oxy]

Triplets in the crowd - I hope the husband is sitting next to his wife!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good stuff by these 2! Shown a lot of positivity thats been lacking throughout this series by our batters! InshahAllah they can carry on like this for another 10 overs or so atleast!

 

[Lethal]

These two are playing cricket that none of us have seen throughout this series. This is top stuff.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan still have the final powerplay in hand, looking forward to that InshaAllah

 

[Inswinger]

Dar asked Pak not to do it....Aussie bowlers throwing the ball into the ground before their spells.

Not sure what Pontings, erm I mean Clarke's problem is if it applied to both teams.

But as we know, they dont like consistency....

An Aussie commentator (I don't know who but not Deano) says "They do it all the time and the Aussies did it the first time".

 

[Inswinger]

Fine touch there. Playing with lose hands.

 

[iafzal]

These 2 need to stay 10 more overs and it is game over

 

[Momo]

The Aussie whining show is in town.

 

[Lethal]

Good fielding. But Akmal gets three.

 

[On_the_up]

what a turn around shows what a positive attitude can do

 

[HuZi]

3 runs of th efirst ball of hopes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 off the 1st ball of the over and next 2 balls are dots

 

[Lethal]

Hopes has come onto bowl now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another dot ball

 

[Osman]

Sloppy fielding there by Aussies!

haven't seen any from them? their fielding has been top notch!

 

[On_the_up]

Misbah has been in 4th gear today. The gear stick must have got stuck.

 

[Inswinger]

Aussies tightening it up now. Might be time for the PP...

 

[On_the_up]

As with the 3rd match, pakistan should win it from here

 

[HuZi]

139-3 after 27

 

[Lethal]

Not out. He was outside the line.

 

[Da Best]

What a dumb appeal.

 

[Lethal]

Good single taken by Akmal. Good running.

 

[HuZi]

akmal 48(49) and misbah 35(32)
