Pakistan v Australia in England, June-July 2010

[ZexyZahid]

Finally Australia is all out. Great knock from Steve Smith.

 

[King Pietersen]

Smith gone Really wanted him to score a ton. Pakistan to win by 2 wickets.

Thank Allah, God, Jesus, Buddha, Moses, and anyone else important that I left out.

Smart bowling, in the end.

I'm happy to go on record saying that Pakistan have this in the bag.

 

[Dutch]

Shame that! I think Aussie are 30 or 40 short. We wills see. It is Pakistans for the winning ...er....losing...er

tweaking brilliant knock, but I could see that Smith was going to fall after he played and missed at that slower ball by Gul, I should be a psychic haha.

180
I don't want another collapse by us.
I would like to see Pakistan opener with positive mind and try to score like a T20 match.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

good idea, if a bit late. the cricinfo called that right, bring on Gul and get him to bowl like he would in a one dayer.

I have a seperate question though, why are australia bring through so many messy, unorthodox left handers? Where have the fundamentals and technique gone. That was great by smith, but what's he going to fall back on when the form goes, like it did with hughes and johnson?

If you were you would have known you aren't one!

 

[Aoun13]

I guess if Ponting allow Smith to bowl more he can even trouble us by his bowling as his confidence is sky high.

 

[Insomniac]

180 in 43 overs + another 7 overs (30 mins extra taken by Ponting or Salman to try to push for victory).

Meh just end the game today, I don't want to wait overnight.

Hence the keyword "should", haha.

The last time Pakistan played at Headingley in 2006, Pakistan needed just around 300 in the day, with 10 wickets in hand (of course we had Inzamam, Yousuf, and Younis in that test match).

Pakistan were all out for around 150.

Anyway, I think Pakistan will go into a shell and lose wickets quickly, or the game will be won decently quickly.

Huh ? Smith is right handed.

Just seeing Ponting flick the ball in the air makes me nervous.
