[Mercenary]

World XI to field first.

 

[Mercenary]

awesome first over by akhtar. rattled both Gilchrist and Katich who was hit on the shoulder then the helmet.

 

[Mercenary]

152.1 his fastest so far and he just hit latich again.

If this was Malik then certain people would be insisting he was dropped!!

 

[Pathan007]

but shoaib is expensive once again

 

[Mercenary]

yeah he lost it after his first over, althought he was a little unlucky with the edges.

Can we sub him after his first 3 overs or something?

 

[pak4life]

running in like a headless chicken

 

[Big Mac]

Shoaib goes for a few runs and then says he's injured

 

[pak4life]

shoaib injured already lol

 

[Big Daddy]

shoaib really bowled very fast today
he slammed katich on the head in the very first over

 

[ali kc]

shobby ready to come back..

scared me

 

[ali kc]

Aussies got a good start again....

Gilchrist on FIRE !!
59/0 in 10.4 overs

 

[Aurangzeb]

will shoaib bowl again? if he got injured that's just pathetic...

 

[Saqib]

This match will go to Australia if Pollock doens't make a good change in the bowling.
But Akhtar bowled very fast and good control of his line and length, only one delivery he hasn't bowled well was the slower one, it became full toss luckly not on the body of Katchi. But overall good fast bowling by him, currenctly his off the field had some problems with his left leg.

 

[Gilly]

Gilchrist 50 off 38 balls

 

[Asim2Good]

Aussie in good position and scoring at good pace as well

Sanjay also said 'This shud be a lesson for the selectors, pick players who are better in the field' basically slagging Gavsakar off.

 

[yk]

Shoaib smacked for 6 by symonds

 

[yk]

If shoaib doesn't pick up atleast 2 wickets in his last over. Kameena gavaskar will drop him for ntini.
