2nd Match
Sri Lanka Tri Series
Match 2
Australia Vs Pakistan (D/N)
Here we are for the second match of thi stri series. It is Australia's first and they are playing Pakistan, who were beaten quite badly by sri lanka in the opening game. There were heavy rain showers earlier in the day and a wet outfield delayed play. Therefore the match has been reduced to 36 overs a side (BLIC07 glitch.lol) Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first.
Brett lee opened the bowling as Salman Butt took guard at the strikers end. The first over off lee was 10 runs. Thanks to some great batting by Butt. Jamshed was finding it tough to score while Butt was stroking the ball easily. Jamshed's struggle came to an end in the 9th over when Lee beat Jamshed all ends up and caught the edge of the bat on the way through as Haddin took an easy catch. At the 10th over the score was 1-52.
Bracken bowled well but was taken out of the attack at this stage, a mistake that might have cost Australia. Clark was being smashed to all corners of the ground and was in a spot of bother. Lee tried to stem the flow as he took the wicket of Yousuf for just 4. But Clark continued to get hammered and even a consolation wicket of Butt, was not good enough to revive him. Ponting's captaining was questionable keeping clark in for his full 10 overs. At the 20th over mark the score was 3/114.
Even though pakistan looked in a little trouble at the 20th over mark, but at the 30th over mark they looked in much better control. Shoaib Malik and Misbah put on a good 69 run partnership as Malik powered to a great 50. He hit a six and alot of fours on his way to the milestone coming in just 45 balls. He looked happy but knew he had to be there at the end. When Misbah was dismissed for 31. and with 8 overs to go the score was 4/165. They looked quite comfortable.
Malik continued to play briliantly hitting fours all over the place including a huge 12 off the Over against Stuart Clark. Afridi and Akmal fell cheaply, but time was against Malik's side as he ran out of overs and was left not out on 93. It was a superb innings by Malik which helped Pakistan to 9/212. A very good total.
Australia will have their work cut out for them to chase 213 at 5.8 runs an over. Join us then.

Well not a bad score from Pakistan there. Well played Malik 
That was a pure captain's knock. Nice all-round batting from Pakistan. Now they will have to bowl well.
Great works F1Man. Great story! Keep up the great works!

I seriously don't know what you are worried about, the internet was based on people sharing stuff like photos and videos which is what everybody is doing. The pictures that you can't use are the ones that you can't right-click and paste or they will say, buy this picture. Besides everyone on PlanetCricket is using pictures, so if one of us goes down, all of us goes down and I sure we will fight together!
