Can't believe these tactics by Pakistan.

Over after over... bowling wide down off-side. Its Day 1 for fucks sake. Have a go.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Yeah think people will be taking their pillows tomorrow.

 

[legend166]

Shameful cricket from Pakistan.

 

[Grug]

Shameful cricket from Pakistan.

They're playing cricket?

 

[Grug]

 

[tri_willy]

amazing play from punter and pup

 

[Wes]

I keep missing obvious things in this thread.

I must have it muted or something.....

 

[Grug]

LOL @ Katich the destroyer. :lol

 

[Dizzan]

Didn't expect that collapse! Katich is a gun.

Bit of trivia, but that is the first time Ponting has kissed his helmet.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Yay. Didnt get to watch but listened to some on the radio, good work by the boys.

 

[pieatorium]

White smacks the target down do 6 an over.


And there's his 100

 

[m3k]

good on white, all power to him

only saw the last hour but poor pakistan... great match though

 

[pieatorium]

Batting second on SCG is generally bad idea not sure what Yousef is thinking.

 

[pieatorium]

Watson is on fire

Fire went out

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Poor Pakistan, cant buy a win. If i was their coach i'd be doing up my will.

 

[Grug]

Yeah I feel sorry for them.

Very poor form by the Pakistan cricket board to announce that Yousuf will be relinquished of the captaincy at the end of the tour. How about waiting until the tour is over before you announce that... dipshits.

Amateur hour. How humiliating for him.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Yeah it is. I was waiting for them to get bowled out for 80 or something so they would put Lethal Weapon on early :lol ended up watching that Australian movie on ABC about the asylam seekers....... was a good movie.

 

[pieatorium]

Slow start so far zzzz

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Put on 34 runs while i was taking a shit, not to bad :lol

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Good score after all, Punter cant catch a break............ neither can Pakistan it seems, oh wells the chase should be fun.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Eh, Pakistan should be able to win at least on of these one dayers, they aren't far off and they sure as hell have some talent.

 

[CharliePants]

Pakistan definitely have the talent - they just need their top order to perform for once. I think batting first suits them better also...they seem to crumble under pressure when they're chasing any sort of total (see: Sydney test).

They should take the t20 as well, what with being world champions and all.

 

[DeSo]

We put up a damn good total and they got closer than I thought they would thanks to Afridi. I feel so bad Yousuf, he's a class batsman and we haven't seen it this tour, probably due to the weight of the captaincy. (seems he won't have to put up with that anymore)

 

[tri_willy]

younis khan has been struggling too. i guess the politics behind pakistan cricket are really stuffing them up

 

[DeSo]

Definitely but I'm pretty sure he's a far better test player than he is a ODI one. They really missed him there.

 

[Zapages]

I don't know if you guys have heard, but Pakistan is going to get Hammad Azam for T20 matches against Australia. He's in the Pakistan U-19 team right now and has done amazing under pressure, but I think its kind of early for the kid to come into the national team.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Aamer is supposedly 17........... eh probably is, if he stuffs up they will drop him and kill his confidence.

 

[Zapages]

Aamer is supposedly 17........... eh probably is, if he stuffs up they will drop him and kill his confidence.

and he's out due to a groin injury because they overplayed him...

Hopefully the same does not happen to this new kid.

 

[pieatorium]

Anyone watching today? pretty even start so far, run rate is pretty good though.

 

[pieatorium]

Aussies not looking like posting a big score, Pakistan should look to finish off but the way their tour has gone so far I wouldn't back it.

 

[Dead Man]

Yeah, the top order looked pretty average today but I can still see it being pretty close tonight.

 

[pieatorium]

Huaritz smashes a 6 :lol

 

[DeSo]

Haha, go Ritz.

Powerplay time.

 

[pieatorium]

Hauritz on fire

 

[DeSo]

Damn, Hauritz is on fire.

Edit: Holy hell, 50 already.

 

[pieatorium]

Can't believe they made it to 277

 

[Grug]

Upgrade Hauritz to all-rounder status. :lol

 

[DeSo]

Can't believe they made it to 277

Seriously, incredible knock from Hauritz.

Pakis one down already.

 

[pieatorium]

Poor Paki's they will probably finish the tour without a win, the have played some really good cricket in patches but also some very poor cricket. GET A DAMN FIELDING COACH!!!

 

[Dead Man]

Could I have been more wrong? :lol I go to dinner and it's all over!

 

[tri_willy]

afridi is the only non-disgrace to the paki one-day side

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Welp, there it goes.

20/20 will be awesome though if he fires.

 

[DeSo]

afridi is the only non-disgrace to the paki one-day side

Pretty much, its been a pretty sad series.

 

[pieatorium]

Pakistan one down already

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Mmmmmmmmm where the fuck did this Harris come from :lol

 

[tri_willy]

:lol wow at pakistan 2/0 after 2 overs. what a sorry state of affairs this team has been on

 

[pieatorium]

Mmmmmmmmm where the fuck did this Harris come from :lol

Yeah I know 11 wickets in 21 overs so far


Johnson gets one in his first over back now too

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Dont think todays going to be Pakistans day :/

 

[pieatorium]

Afridi going out early has probably killed any chance of this getting interesting

 

[pieatorium]

Australia looking shaky but will win.
