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

[Oxy]

Not out. He was outside the line.

But it should have been given - thats the Aussie way!

 

[qaiser]

I don't know if even pak management remember about pp

 

[On_the_up]

these 2 need to virtually finish it. can't leave it to anyone else

 

[HuZi]

Current partnership 84 runs, 12.0 overs, RR: 7.00 (Kamran Akmal 45, Misbah-ul-Haq 35)

 

[Lethal]

But it should have been given - thats the Aussie way!

Yep. They were acting as if it was really close when it wasn't.

 

[Da Best]

50 for Kami!

 

[Lethal]

50 to Akmal. Well played. Top knock.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

[Da Best]

[HuZi]

50 shabaash boys shabaash bpoys akmal get shis 50

 

[Deewana Mastana]

InshahAllah these 2 can carry on for another 7-10 overs!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Good innings from Kamran, he is starting to look good again as a keeper/batsman.

Also, Misbahs calling is superb. I know the mikes are up, but he is loud and clear with the running. And fast.

 

[Osman]

excellent innings from Kamran .... hope he gets a 100 and secures a spot up the order where he needs to bat! Positive player ....

 

[Lethal]

106 needed off 21 overs.

 

[HuZi]

Current partnership 89 runs, 13.0 overs, RR: 6.84 (Kamran Akmal 47, Misbah-ul-Haq 38)

 

[12thMan]

Current partnership 89 runs, 13.0 overs, RR: 6.84 (Kamran Akmal 47, Misbah-ul-Haq 38)

Pakistan 145-3 after 29 overs - need 106 @ 5.04

 

[Lethal]

That guy is massive.

 

[Saudi]

Who is that guy?

 

[HuZi]

hauritz is no longer murli

 

[Best_Bacha]

Who is that guy?

Irfan Khan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That guy is massive!!! A 6 foot soldier looking like a little boy infront of him - Tony Grieg

 

[Lethal]

Good shot by Akmal. 2 more to him.

 

[azfar wali]

Pakistan will InshahAllah win this game with misbah or Kamran Getting a big 100

 

[Inswinger]

Is Kamran the best off-side player on our team? No one drives it or cuts it like him.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Appeal by Hauritz and not out by Aleem Dar

 

[dirk diggler]

lame lbw appeal

 

[Deewana Mastana]

148 for 3 after 30 overs

 

[Oxy]

This Hauritz guy shows a fair bit of dissent when crappy LBW appeals dont go his way - very aggressive towards umpires.

A future Aus captain in the making?

 

[Inswinger]

Over appealing by Hauritz. Who's the match referee in this one?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 run to start the over

 

[FAM]

Please don't throw your wickets away now!!!

 

[HuZi]

Pakistan 148/3 (29.6 ov)

 

[Best_Bacha]

Is Kamran the best off-side player on our team? No one drives it or cuts it like him.

currently yes but not for long cuz is coming back

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Chris Cairns - Good decision given by Aleem Dar

 

[Lethal]

Is Kamran the best off-side player on our team? No one drives it or cuts it like him.

Totally agree he is the best off side player in the team. Mind you Yousuf will be when he is back

 

[HuZi]

look at that big gu

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tony Greig still not much convinced but starts getting over it now!

 

[FAM]

150 up.

 

[Inswinger]

Totally agree he is the best off side player in the team. Mind you Yousuf is the best

Yousuf is a world class batsman so I'm not counting him.

 

[HuZi]

defeniteley the best pakistani partnership this series 100% sure

 

[On_the_up]

Knowing Pakistan, a runout is around the corner

 

[FAM]

less than 100 required now

 

[Inswinger]

Time for the PP now?

 

[HuZi]

wide from symmo

 

[On_the_up]

100 required off 19 overs with 7 wkts

 

[Deewana Mastana]

97 runs partnership from 91 balls!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

16 runs off the last 5 overs

 

[On_the_up]

Say what you like about Akmal but at least he is aggressive and doesn't go into his shell.

 

[Lethal]

Yousuf is a world class batsman so I'm not counting him.

OK fair enough.

 

[HuZi]

155/3 after 32 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs off the Symonds over

155 for 3 after 32 overs

 

[HuZi]

100 runs partnership

 

[On_the_up]

Pakistan need to ride this lul in scoring, can't loose a wkt or we might have a repeat of the 3rd ODI

 

[residentevil]

i can see pakistan losing the plot very soon. They will get to a point where they need 50 in 5 overs and they will fold under pressure.

 

[Inswinger]

Say what you like about Akmal but at least he is aggressive and doesn't go into his shell.

What I like about his batting is that he's selectively aggressive. Plays each delivery by merit. If it deserves to be whacked he'll do it, if its a top delivery he'll let it go by.

 

[Lethal]

No wide there. Looked wide.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

We're in thirst of boundaries. We really have to pick up the pace a little. Maybe Misbah can do some weird things.

 

[iafzal]

slowing down too much for my liking

 

[Oxy]

159-3

 

[Lethal]

Good running. 2 more to Akmal.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good placement by Akmal and gets 2 for it!

 

[On_the_up]

Akmal has reached 50 six times before, 4 of which he has turned to 100!

 

[residentevil]

pakistan is all set to lose this match, Akmal with his 50 feels he has done more than enough to justify his place in the side

 

[Inswinger]

Akmal has reached 50 six times before, 4 of which he has turned to 100!

Excellent ratio. It tells you that he doesn't give his wicket away often after settling in.

 

[Lethal]

We're in thirst of boundaries. We really have to pick up the pace a little. Maybe Misbah can do some weird things.

Don't worry. Change of ball in 1 over.

 

[Osman]

i can see pakistan losing the plot very soon. They will get to a point where they need 50 in 5 overs and they will fold under pressure.

fear not .... he is yet to bat

 

[HuZi]

160-3

 

[Pak_NM]

Great sweep shot

 

[Oxy]

Quality shot! Aggressive intent!

4 to Kami

 

[Inswinger]

pakistan is all set to lose this match, Akmal with his 50 feels he has done more than enough to justify his place in the side

Your 3 post and your already a nuisance.
