Brilliant update mate

Afridi really shook the aussies up a bit

Afridi fires, he's going to fail another 20 times before hitting double figures now.
Anyway, good fightback, led by Misbah, who did all the hard work.

He probably means that if he gets a big score for Pakistan, then he could get some wickets maybe 7-10 and win it for Pakistan

Afridi's bowling is only good against teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe

End of Pakistan Innings
(Razzaq Blitz helps Pakistan reach 300)​

As the overs went by, the sun was just about to set and as a result the floodlights were turned on in the 41st over.

It was then Afridi's exciting Innings came to an end. Ponting continued to persist with Clarke and he had put Hussey back on the boundary at Mid-Off. The plan finally payed off as Afridi skied the ball into the night sky. A swerving Hussey took the catch and made it seem very easy. Clarke had finally picked his man. Whilst Afridi was walking to the pavilion, Clarke gave him a send-off. The crowd went from almost uncontrollable to silent. The crowd gave a standing ovation as Afridi went back to the dressing room. The new man to arrive was Abdul Razzaq, a well known hitter at these particular stages of the Innings. Ponting brought Brett Lee back into the attack to try and hold the boundaries. Towards the end of the Innings, a flurry of wickets went first starting with the captain Misbah.

Misbah's Wicket: Lee bowled a fullish length just a fraction outside off-stump. Misbah attempted the straight drive but found a tickle. Haddin took a fantastic catch as the ball was diving. Misbah did not wait for the umpire's decision and walked by himself.

Sarfraz's Wicket: Ponting continued with Clarke despite his Economy Rate being at 10. However he got his second wicket of the match as Sarfraz tried to open the face and run the ball down to third man. He could not get it fine enough and Haddin took yet another difficult catch.

Knowing he was running out overs and partners Razzaq lashed out at all the bowlers at the end of the Innings. Razzaq blasted a mammoth 5 sixes and 1 four to get himself to *47(27) and more importantly got Pakistan to 299/7 in their 50 overs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Pakistan :- 299/7 (50)
*Razzaq 47(27) 1 Four 5 Sixes
*Sohail 1(1)
