Group A (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Australia) - 11th Match Australia v Bangladesh

[Aoun13]

Posssible 11 is pretty good looking for Pakistan.
Warmups are just for WARMING!! so there is no need to worry.
Remember we were lost quite badly last time to India in Warmups but we came back as the tournament progresses.
There are still quite hell of questions about team selection but now matter is how will the playing 11 been selected and ho well they will perform on the ground.
Our team is still one of the most flexible of the lot and we can beat any team on our day, which came quite often in T20 arena for us.
Hope to have a good match today.

Possible 11(According to Cricinfo)

1 Mohammad Hafeez, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Shahid Afridi (capt), 4 Umar Akmal, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq, 6 Fawad Alam, 7 Abdul Razzaq, 8 Mohammad Sami, 9 Mohammad Aamer, 10 Mohammad Asif, 11 Saeed Ajmal

it is looking good playing XI but i feel they should try Hammad Azam replacing Misbah because if he is not given chance in this match then he'll never play in the rest of the tournament

I would replace Sami with a batsman. Possibly Butt.... we have 8 possible bowlers in that lineup.... we need a proper batsman in that lineup to even it out...

Pak going back to 99's color? apple green

Tamim will play! Is he fit though?

no it was a training kit

Bangladesh getting eaten alive.

Shahid Afridi and Umar Akmal the next men to come, and already 105/0 in 12.2.

We just need Akmal and Butt to get out so the big hitters can show up. 200+ should be a good target from here.

 

[Params7]

Pak looks really good.

 

[Dabi]

That was an excellent shot by Butt. I prefer this kind of improv to the Dilscoop or switch-hit in terms of reliability and risk.

@Insomniac: Dude we don't know whether the 'big-hitters' would score or not. These two might get out and the score might be reduced to a possible 170, which atm is looking like 180 odd.

lol @ beach cricket ads on skysports. Ball goes into the fruit stand, kids throw back a real fruit to the bowler who begins to eat it and commentators go "is that ball tampering?" :laugh

Butt has a SR of 165? **checks to see if hell has frozen over**

1st monster score of the tournament coming up, no way Bangla will chase this down against Pakistani bowling.

Lol, Butt has been under immense pressure lately. Rumors abound that he's only in the team due to his contacts within the board. He had a point to prove, I guess that's what motivated him.

 

[McLOVIN]

Shafiul is the only guy who bowled decently.. every 1 else is all over the place!!

MacLovin added 1 Minutes and 43 Seconds later...

Afridi! lol such a cocky guy! His bat says BOOM BOOM on it

 

[King Pietersen]

Awful innings from Afridi. Umar Akmal should have gone in at 3.

 

[Insomniac]

Crappy innings. Abdul Razzaq shows up now

 

[King Pietersen]

Heh. Pakistan throwing away the chance to set a massive total. If Tamim gets going this is definitely chaseable atm.
