A Thought just came to my mind......

Pakistan should defeat the australia,and sent them home..then it would give them a great feeling...defeating the world champions and the defending champions by knocking them out of the tourney.......It will just give them an extram pump for the semis!

"Partly cloudy with late afternoon thunderstorms," is the day's forecast.

From Cricinfo.

Bad luck for the Indians if it did rain.

BOOM BOOM to open for Australia, sorry,for pakistan.Whoever bowls the 1st over is so lucky.

 

[aussie1st]

Certainly not going to be the easiest pitch to play on.

 

[Howsie]

I'm guessing Pakistan are resting a few players?

 

[Bluebagger]

Great first over from Lee.

 

[deepuparayil]

Anyone know y Ricky chose to bowl 1st,because if they bat first ,that itself put them in semi's.

Because it is 9:30 am in cloudy conditions and the pitch has moisture in it a day and a half since the thunderstorm. First over showed why he bowled.

Pretty obvious reason to bowl first.

 

[aussie1st]

Overcast conditions and the possibility of rain so D/L is easier to use when batting 2nd.
Siddle is releasing the pressure built up by Lee, doesn't look too threatening.

Yeah, Mohammad Ammer and Imran Nazir are rested

 

[aussie1st]

Siddle better get his pace up soon or hes going to challenge Lewis for most runs in an ODI.

Lee's back! Lee's back! Hooray.:banana2:banana:banana2

 

[King Cricket]

Lee's back! Lee's back! Hooray.:banana2:banana:banana2

What's there to "Hooray"? If the Australian bowlers bottle the Pakistanis for a low score, and then chase it down easily- we are gone.

That's for Lee not for Aussies.

Pakistan 29/0 in 6.4 overs; Afridi playing very maturely :laugh

Siddle has been poor so far, so I expect Ponting to bring on Johnson soon.
