Pakistan vs Australia ODI Series 2009

[WestIndian]

At the last minute, I removed Watson and replaced him with Afridi as an AR because I thought he could do more with the ball and so far that was good for me.
Got the rest pretty much wrong, because I removed Hope and put Watson in and then again changed. I see Hope got 48.

 

[Abhas]

I made a lot of changes yesterday actually. Replacing Ferguson with Clarke, after I saw his batting position. And making Haddin a bonus player, after seeing his batting position. Cricinfo was predicting this line up:

Australia: 1 Shaun Marsh, 2 Shane Watson, 3 Brad Haddin (wk), 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 David Hussey, 7 Callum Ferguson, 8 Nathan Hauritz, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Nathan Bracken, 11 Ben Laughlin.

I see now that David Hussey and Laughlin aren't even playing. Instead Hopes and Hilfenhaus are playing.

ZexyZahid added 3 Minutes and 2 Seconds later...

Abhas got David Hussey and Sohail Tanvir in his team. The same goes for Superstars, WestIndian and World Champions.

I believe you are already feeling a small bite. Afridi has taken 3 wickets already. I took him in my team for his bowling.

ZexyZahid added 29 Minutes and 44 Seconds later...

By now I feel your ass is pretty much bleeding and you should put a plaster on it. :laugh Afridi took 6 wickets.

Big problem is, that I saw someone having Afridi as captain.

Afridi captain

 

[ZexyZahid]

Congratulations. You've got 286 points from him already. And it's now an advantage of not having Marsh in your team.

 

[McLOVIN]

god damn! Afridi! i mistakenly picked Afridi when i wanted to take Tanvir, b/c Afridi is right on top or bottom of him, then thought about keeping him. but i didnt think he was that good of a bowler!

Knew not getting Afridi would stuff me up.

 

[McLOVIN]

so me makea no mistake ?

and dont worry Afridi will fail for rest of the series, OZ didnt do HW on him thinking he was a part timer =D

 

[ZexyZahid]

There is another match in Dubai and I'm pretty sure, that Afridi will get at least a wicket again. Big problem will be Marsh's absence. Aussie1st can now only hope that he doesn't come on the last place.

Abhas has 38 points more then me, while he had Afridi as captain. It just shows that he doesn't have a great team then.

[afridi118]

its all about afridi
good luck aussieist

 

[Highlander999]

Bah, why did I pick Arafat and Lee. If I had actually gone for players in the team I might have made some more points :

 

[Abhas]

Yes ZZ, the overall team composition is really bad. Only the choice of captain was good, that too for the 1st match.
Who know's afridi might get some ducks in the coming games

Update after the corrections of the 2nd ODI: Cricinfo - 2nd ODI: Australia v Pakistan at Dubai, Apr 24, 2009

Shoaib Malik scored 7 runs and had 14 bowling runs.

Hopefully the pitch in the next stadium will be a fast one, because I need my captain to score runs.
