Pakistan v Australia in England, June-July 2010

[ZexyZahid]

Rain stopped play and within a minute they're back. :laugh

 

[Themer]

Beautiful shot that from Amin who looks to have a solid technique here. And again a beautiful shot.

If these two stick together for a while Australia could start to become a bit twitchy.

 

[khalek]

A record run chase in prospect? With Afridi hitting the winning runs?

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Come Aussie start picking up wickets, I need to win in VBOOKIE

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's all over now for Pakistan with Butt departing. The great North gets a wicket first ball.

 

[Insomniac]

I don't believe it.

 

[khalek]

Oh dear Marcus North does a golden arm, a breakthrough Australia desperately needed. Well played though, Butt.

 

[Chewie]

LOL North gets a wicket first ball. Maybe he'll stay in the team for his bowling instead of his batting :sarcasm

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

North :hpraise


Thanks for that wicket now Pakistan in 30% trouble

 

[Dabi]

I don't believe it.

Neither do I! Of all the deliveries to get out to, he had to pick that one! Well played though but I mean come on! A record chase was on the cards here!

That being said, barring Hilfy, this has got to be the most rubbish piece of international test bowling I've seen in quite a while. It's like these bowlers have forgotten how to bowl, which ofcourse is good for us!

Well, we forgot how to bat too

Insomniac added 1 Minutes and 8 Seconds later...

Each batsman needs 64 runs for us to win (assuming we don't use the tail).

We're done for.

64 more runs might I add.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

From 44 it went to 64 which is some what not possible each batsman scoring half century

The game hinges on this pair. They both need to score big, can't expect Afridi or the tail to contribute more than 50 (combined). That leaves the Akmals and Umar Amin to score 200 between them. We need one of these two to stick it till the end if we have any chance of winning.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Attacking, Not the best option I think and that is what Pakistan is doing.

They have 7 wickets in hand + 1 day.

Cool and Calm will win you this match!!

 

[ZexyZahid]

It seems the sun is out there, because they are now getting quick runs.

Umar Akmal has a strikerate of almost 70, so if he stays there for some time it may work out well for Pakistan.
