Pakistan vs Australia | Abu Dhabi | 3rd ODI | 27/4/09 | Australia Innings

[Inswinger]

We need another slip for Afridi

[Umta]

oh crap that sucks. lbw not given and free 8 runs

[iZeeshan]

Clarke is dangerous.

He needs to goo!

[cricwiz]

couple of reallllyyyy bad umpiring decisions... Both were out to me !!!

[Sheikh]

Clarke has looked very good, we need to pick him up.

[TurkishCricketFan]

good bowling Malik.

[Sparhawk]

Symonds is struggling against Malik

[Inswinger]

Malik bowling like a specialist here!!

[saeed-sohail]

Was clarke playing a shot there think not he should have been out there.

[Oxy]

couple of reallllyyyy bad umpiring decisions... Both were out to me !!!


1 clipping bail

Other hit outside the line of off stump

[Sparhawk]

Clarke is dangerous.

He needs to goo!

yea hes probably their best player of spin with his quick feet

[spectator]

its turning out to be most boring match i have ever seen

[Inswinger]

I think losing the captaincy was a blessing in disguise for Malik.

[Umta]

pakistanis running thru the overs

[Saj]

Interesting move today by YK to bring in Malik ahead of Ajmal - rather surprised the Aussies and their gameplan no doubt.

[Sheikh]

Great stuff from our spinners so far. Combined figures of 7-2-14-1

[Inswinger]

its turning out to be most boring match i have ever seen
Turn it off and go to sleep.

[Oxy]

Outstanding spell from Afridi so far

[spectator]

afridi is given more respect than murli. rubbis

[pacman]

Malik is bowling really well. Symonds under pressure.

[MalikMohsin]

I expect to see umpires report Malik for suspect action on the next day

[Sheikh]

its turning out to be most boring match i have ever seen
Care to elaborate?

[Oxy]

its turning out to be most boring match i have ever seen
Run out of razor blades?

[Amjid Javed]

Interesting move today by YK to bring in Malik ahead of Ajmal - rather surprised the Aussies and their gameplan no doubt.

Maliks done trick, I wonder wether this was a tactical move though or wether its in regards to doubts over ajmals action.

[Saj]

Advice to YK though. Dont overbowl Malik, he has a tendency to bowl an awful over towards the end of a long spell.

[Sparhawk]

Afridi's in the zone... easily winning the battle against Clarke

[Amjid Javed]

Have to say Afridis bowled well all series for once.

[Sheikh]

Brilliant stuff from Afridi. He really deserves a wicket.

[Saj]

Run out of razor blades?
actuallly thats given me the idea of a couple of new smilies - must mention it to Salman

[MalikMohsin]

afridi is given more respect than murli. rubbis

I always have criticized Shahid Khan Afridi in the past. To be honest, he is bowling really well along with Shoaib Malik

[Sparhawk]

Run out of razor blades?

:))) :))) :)))

[Inswinger]

If Malik and Afridi continue bowl like this we will have 2 top class all rounders.

[Umta]

good tight bowling by pakistani spinners. we need another wicket

[Umta]

shoaib malik starter as an offspinner

[spectator]

Care to elaborate?

nothing is happening. even in test matches runrate is fast and its not because bowling is outstanding.

[Oxy]

nothing is happening. even in test matches runrate is fast and its not because bowling is outstanding.

You should be employed the PCB....

[feather]

Malik has always been useful spinner. When he bats well he bowls well too. If he bowls well he bats well too. So good to see him on track today.

[Inswinger]

nothing is happening. even in test matches runrate is fast and its not because bowling is outstanding.
I heard an IPL match is going on. That might fulfill you "desire". But you will be missed here...

[Sheikh]

Malik & Afridi: 9-3-18-1

[MalikMohsin]

nothing is happening. even in test matches runrate is fast and its not because bowling is outstanding.

You prefer to watch the match where the bowlers have no support at all?

Like for example;

http://content.cricinfo.com/countycricket2009/engine/match/398215.html

[Sheikh]

nothing is happening. even in test matches runrate is fast and its not because bowling is outstanding.
I'd heed Inswinger's advice if I were you.

[Sparhawk]

44444444 to Symonds... bit too short from Afridi

[Oxy]

Short and punished - Afridi hit for 4

91-3

[spectator]

I heard an IPL match is going on. That might fulfill you "desire". But you will be missed here...

thanx for telling.. i always think south africa has best pitches in the world followed by australia and zimbabwe.

[Oxy]

AFRIDI GETS SYMMONDS!

LBW

91-4

Symmonds NOT happy!

[cricwiz]

Afridi vs Symonds... yet another battle is on :)

and Afridi wins the battle :D

[Sheikh]

Totally deserved, take a bow.

[saeed-sohail]

What will be decent score here guys?If clarke and symmo stay in they can get to 250 as they have calum and hussy to come.symmo u beauty.

[Sparhawk]

Wicket!!! Afridi gets Symonds 3rd math in a row!

That was plumb

[pak4life]

afridi!!! does it again

[Legendary_Sage]

Goneeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yes

[Oxy]

That look plumb- middle stick to me!

[Inswinger]

Afridi strikes.
Big wicket here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Afridi get Symmo!!!!!!!!!!!

[feather]

Afridi strikes!!

[pacman]

Symonds Gone!

[Oxy]

And Symmonds shows serious dissent! Mouths a few things at the umpire

[Umta]

Waqar Younis "HUUUGGGGGEEEEEEEEE WICKET FOR PAKISTAN"

[Inswinger]

And Symmonds shows serious dissent! Mouths a few things at the umpire
I'm sure thats within the ICC conduct policy....
But Afridi might be fined for "over appealing"....

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to kick home their advantage here!

[Umta]

afridi deserved a wicket the way he bowled in this spell

[pacman]

With Saeed still having his full quota, and I hope he bowls well once he come on, I see Australia in bit of trouble.

[Oxy]

91-4 off 25 overs - but Afridi still bowling.

Ten Sports have made a mistake? Or Assad Rauf?

[saeed-sohail]

These ausies have a habit of mouthing off when it does not go them.throw the book at him.

[Oxy]

These ausies have a habit of mouthing off when it does not go them.throw the book at him.


I'd literraly throw a heavy, metal edged one at Watson & Symmonds....

[Saj]

And Symmonds shows serious dissent! Mouths a few things at the umpire
I'm sure the ICC will take the appropriate action - a holiday in the Maldives for Roy.

[Inswinger]

91-4 off 25 overs - but Afridi still bowling.

Ten Sports have made a mistake? Or Assad Rauf?
Asad Rauf. Malik is on now.

[MIG]

Those missing Akhtar - say Aye....

[Inswinger]

I'm sure the ICC will take the appropriate action - a holiday in the Maldives for Roy.
And a fine for Afridi, "over appealing"...

[Inswinger]

Those missing Akhtar - say Aye....
Nay

[Amjid Javed]

Watson 1st, now symonds? Are ICC going to do anything about the joke behaviour?

There happy to hit pakistan with fines for slow over-rates!

[spectator]

the way aussies are playing 150 will be a good achievement

[Amjid Javed]

Those missing Akhtar - say Aye....

Aye ;-)

[feather]

Haven't seen RA posting in these match threads. Is he doing a Saffer on us? in case they lose the series?

[ehjaz]

And Symmonds shows serious dissent! Mouths a few things at the umpire

thats within the code of conduct according to ICC rules specially designed for aussies

[Oxy]

93-4 off 26 overs

[MalikMohsin]

Shoaib Malik has bowled five overs and gave 7 runs. I am pretty sure he will be reported for suspect action by the umpires on the next day. :D

[Sheikh]

Mid-off's up for Callum. Good move.

[Da Best]

Shoaib Malik has bowled five overs and gave 7 runs. I am pretty sure he will be reported for suspect action by the umpires on the next day. :D

Me too.

[rhussain33]

Did symonds get any bat on that lbw decision though... ??

they aint showed any replays or snickometer to have a look...

maybe thats why he was muttering a few words...

[Inswinger]

How good is Ferguson?

[Sheikh]

Haven't seen RA posting in these match threads. Is he doing a Saffer on us? in case they lose the series?
:)))

I don't think anyone can quite ''do a saffer''!

[Inswinger]

Akmal with a helmet in this heat?

[Oxy]

Some terrible banners on display today...as usual!

"WELL COME JAFFRY"

[Amjid Javed]

How good is Ferguson?

Pretty decent batsmen, one of the Few Aussie batsmen in good form!

[Inswinger]

An Aussie picked up the wrong un, shocking!!

[Saj]

How good is Ferguson?
he looked very good against SA. Very fluent strokemaker.

[Da Best]

Akmal with a helmet in this heat?

As a wicketkeeper, I never wear helmets, to much distraction.

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal with a helmet in this heat?

Maybe its a magic helmet that helps him catch properly!

[Somali Pirate]

Are these umpires scared of reporting these jerks or what?

[Amjid Javed]

Shot the day from fergurson off Afridi!

Aus 98/4

[Amjid Javed]

Intresting to see if Ajmal even gets a bowl here!

[Serendipity]

Some terrible banners on display today...as usual!

"WELL COME JAFFRY"

madhur jaffery, they are hungry

[Oxy]

Ajmal not quite comfortable out there

[shabbu1]

first ball goes for 4 by ajmal

[Inswinger]

The Aussies have gotten in Ajmal's head.

[Sheikh]

Shot the day from fergurson off Afridi!

Aus 98/4
Liked the on drive by Clarke off Arafat better.

[Oxy]

Are these umpires scared of reporting these jerks or what?


Only if the 'jerk' exceeds 15 degrees... :D

[Oxy]

Akmal with a helmet in this heat?

Wish he'd stick it over his mouth!

[Oxy]

where can i watch this match online?

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?t=71749

[Rana]

i really hope this turns out to be a good match!

someone scoring a century or something!

[Inswinger]

Wish he'd stick it over his mouth!
The freakin stump mic is too loud. I can even hear Younis talking to the team.

[Amjid Javed]

Fergie looks a very classy player, Two very good shots hes played so far!

[Inswinger]

Plenty of Pak bowlers reported for suspect action!

[feather]

The freakin stump mic is too loud. I can even hear Younis talking to the team.You don't want to hear what they are saying?

[Serendipity]

ha ha, Pak tops the list of people reported for suspect action

[MalikMohsin]

You don't want to hear what they are saying?

You don't wanna hear them. Trust me

[Plasma]

Out of the 11 players reported for suspect action over the last 10 years, 5 have been Pak!

[Sheikh]

The two offies in tandem...

[Legendary_Sage]

Akmal non stop telecast going on

[Inswinger]

You don't want to hear what they are saying?
Don;t wanna hear Akmal that much.
Seems he's picked up a new phrase "Well done lads".

[feather]

You don't wanna hear them. Trust meI do and I am listening to them.

[Amir]

Who is this Callum saab?

[Oxy]

Good to see Shaoib & Rao watching the game from the side of the boundary - despite not being selected today

[Rana]

The two offies in tandem...

the two suspects in tandem! :))

[MalikMohsin]

I do and I am listening to them.

Too bad. I feel a lot better after turning the volume down.

Australia team is in pressure. Nowadays, we are seeing Australia is battling in under pressure.

[saeed-sohail]

good over so for from ajmal.

[Inswinger]

Daeno: "I bowled 60 overs and I threw them". "No one reported me"
LOL

[Sheikh]

Way too short by Ajmal. Majority of his deliveries have been dragged down.

[Rana]

Good to see Shaoib & Rao watching the game from the side of the boundary - despite not being selected today

let us know if shoaib brings the drinks!

[Oxy]

"well Come The Uae Tony & Jaffry

We Love You"

[Sheikh]

Malik has some crazy figures here...

[Inswinger]

"well Come The Uae Tony & Jaffry

We Love You"
Stop picking on those chaps!

[cricwiz]

Afridi should be bowling his last 3 overs around 40 overs mark.. That would surely make things good..

Even YK can think of using him in third Powerplay... 3 overs from him in Powerplay, would be a really interesting battle..

[feather]

Malik is not spinning it by miles but bowling a very tight line.

[Umta]

malik doin great

[shabbu1]

Malik keeping it tight. Going for under 2 an over!

[MalikMohsin]

"well Come The Uae Tony & Jaffry

We Love You"

You are still after them? :)))

[Somali Pirate]

Only if the 'jerk' exceeds 15 degrees... :D
:))

seriously though i think symonds would actually have to slap the umpire before getting reported. Hell i am not too sure that would work either

[cricwiz]

and besides Afridi, Arafat from other end in powerplay 3...

[Inswinger]

Malik is not spinning it by miles but bowling a very tight line.
Yeah. Just keeping it around off stump. But the one that got Haddin turned a lot.

[Amjid Javed]

This is best ive seen Malik bowl in a long time.

[saeed-sohail]

great captaincy from younus in this game.

[Plasma]

Great spell from Malik so far!

7 overs for 11 runs, 1 maiden and 1 wicket!

[Oxy]

Nice to see a bit of Punjabi being spoken out in the middle....

[Saj]

Amazing figures from Malik so far. Perhaps on course for his most economical figures ever?

[Da Best]

Nice to see a bit of Punjabi being spoken out in the middle....

Nice!

[Saj]

:))

seriously though i think symonds would actually have to slap the umpire before getting reported. Hell i am not too sure that would work either
No he wouldnt get fined. Instead he would make it into the Wisden criketers of the year for hitting the umpire.

[Oxy]

Stop picking on those chaps!

"inswinger bhai we are the loving you
well come to UAE to watching match
of Pakistan v Austria"

[Sheikh]

Yeah. Just keeping it around off stump. But the one that got Haddin turned a lot.
Varying his pace very well too. Using the Saqlain ''pause'' to good effect as well.

[saeed-sohail]

clarke had 31 of 40 gone in his shell since.

[MalikMohsin]

'The togetherness of Shoaib and Rao and smiling' ? That's very rare.

[Oxy]

116-4 off 33 overs

Its just like the 80s - watching Australia struggling!

Sweet!

[Inswinger]

"inswinger bhai we are the loving you
well come to UAE to watching match
of Pakistan v Austria"
Classic OXY :))

[cricwiz]

Anyone noticed... Akmal has sorta ZEBRA stripes on his gloves...

Maybe these are working wonders for him ;)

[MalikMohsin]

LOL at the Pakistan vs Austria.

Fine bowling so far - Malik

[Saj]

I wonder if the Aussies know something we dont and they think 190-200 is a very good score on this track ?

[Sheikh]

Ajmal looks to have settled down now. Good to see.

[Da Best]

Anyone noticed... Akmal has sorta ZEBRA stripes on his gloves...

Maybe these are working wonders for him ;)

Really like his new gloves.

[Salman]

Stump mics seems very sensetive today.

[MalikMohsin]

Aus 118-4 -- 33 overs??

How come i didn't notice that? That's way too slow.

[Somali Pirate]

wow,

malik is bowling like a demon today. I guess he has something to prove after friday's match. Go malik

[Oxy]

I wonder if the Aussies know something we dont and they think 190-200 is a very good score on this track ?


Well we all know about the brittleness of our batting and its potential to kamikazee...

[Inswinger]

Wow. Did anyone notice the red "x" on Nasir Jamshed's picture. Looks like a hit list.

[MalikMohsin]

That was the finest delivery. I hope he won't be discarded like Saqlain Mushtaq in the future.

[Legendary_Sage]

Akmal is looking good with glove work

[saeed-sohail]

Nice to see a bit of Punjabi being spoken out in the middle....
Good job kaptaan saab speaks urdu in the middle.

[cricketkashmir]

Any missed chances by our players today? joined now..not watching it live though..

[jalex382]

Does anyone know if that tvu offer through Pakpassion is still there?

[Oxy]

Nothing wrong with the action on that Doosra.

I'm not so worried about his action - get it sorted...fast!

[Serendipity]

great ball that was. PCB needs to stand by this lad.

[Oxy]

Good job kaptaan saab speaks urdu in the middle.


Who said it was YK?

[pak4life]

has malik stopped bowling the doosra?

[Inswinger]

Does anyone know if that tvu offer through Pakpassion is still there?
You mean TVN. Try willow. 16 bucks.

[Serendipity]

Boys being really harsh on aussies

[cricwiz]

YK should bring in seamers once Malik finishes his quota... Tanvir/Gul can be good

And as soon as PP-3 is taken, bring Afridi for 3 and Arafat for 2 overs...

Then end the innings with Gul & Arafat yorker length stuff...

[Oxy]

120-4

Drinks

[Serendipity]

what did kaptaan saab said?

[MalikMohsin]

Malik is not allowed to bowl doosra for some reasons.

[Oxy]

Time for a break of my own....

[jalex382]

You mean TVN. Try willow. 16 bucks.
TVN was much cheaper. Do you know if its still available?

[Inswinger]

Malik is not allowed to bowl doosra for some reasons.
Because he can't bowl it without bending his elbow more than 15 degrees.

[Saj]

The way the Aussies have struggled against spin, makes me wonder what the situation regarding decent spinners is in Aussies domestic cricket?

[Rana]

autralia are really struggling against spin!

why?

[Inswinger]

TVN was much cheaper. Do you know if its still available?
I don;t know. Try the advertising forum.
http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/forumdisplay.php?f=73

[Umta]

Mic is too sensitive i even heard clark asking asad rauf about lbw decision of symonds and asad rao explaining him the decision

[Oxy]

Asad Rauf needs to check whats in his bottle.

He keepss missing his mouth....

[Salman]

Cooling my eyes... Asad Rauf looks like a funny one..

[cricwiz]

I hope its day for Malik with bat as well...

He needs to regain confidence both with bat/ball

Our two top all-rounders both in form would be bad news for all oppositions

[Oxy]

Random voice

"I am really happy with your work"

[Oxy]

ARY are gonna miss the next ball- I know

[Somali Pirate]

Ajmal has the potential to follow in saqlain's footsteps. His doosras are just unplayable. The pcb should not waste him as they did with shabbir ahmed

[Oxy]

Malik no ball - Free hit

[Umta]

can u believe it malik still bowling

[Inswinger]

Malik's last over. Hopefully it won't be a let down.

[Oxy]

Thats never a no ball!

[MalikMohsin]

No Ball? Free Hit?

That's not good idea. I hate the idea of Free Hit. Free Hit shouldn't be allowed in first place

[Saj]

Aussies looking to step on the gas now - the orders are obvious.

[Inswinger]

That was not a no ball!

[Oxy]

'Jaffry' pleading with Malik to ball a doosra!

[Oxy]

I want a camera like that....

[saeed-sohail]

what did kaptaan saab said?
peeche nahin karna thoda bahir khilao doosre ko beech main aage rakna cross khel raha hai,said this to ajmal.

[Inswinger]

Excellently thought out ball.

[Oxy]

Play & miss - Clarke

Great spell by Malik

[Sheikh]

No Ball? Free Hit?

That's not good idea. I hate the idea of Free Hit. Free Hit shouldn't be allowed in first place
I agree. Ridiculous rule.

[Somali Pirate]

what the....no ball my ass!

[MalikMohsin]

There is the fight between Rauf and Malik now.

[Oxy]

Go on YK - deck him!!!

[Inswinger]

What's the issue with Rauf?

[Da Best]

What's happening??

[Oxy]

Asad RAuf has had a poor series - thought he was OK, but pretty poor standard so far

[MalikMohsin]

How come there was no choice between Rauf and Malik conversation?

[Umta]

malik having a little giggle with asad rauf

[saeed-sohail]

nice work younus to calm asad down.

[Sheikh]

Great spell by Malik. Excellent work.

[Oxy]

132-4 off 37 overs

Fine spell by MAlik

10 overs, 1-22

[rhussain33]

lol malik was cross about a no-ball decision, umpire didnt like it, younas had to come and calm things down,

[Inswinger]

Excellent spell by Malik!!

[Umta]

players calming malik down

[MalikMohsin]

Don't be sorry. I am glad you have acted like that :D

Seriously, that was completely not the No Ball

[Oxy]

3rd Powerplay

[MalikMohsin]

PowerPlay 3 is now ON

[Oxy]

I think 220 is on the cards for Aus

[Da Best]

Afridi on?

[Rana]

this is gonna be another low scoring game! too man of them already

[Umta]

PP3 afridi should be back, we might see a wicket here

[Inswinger]

Didn't Rauf do the same thing in the last match? Called it a no ball when Malik's foot had dragged behind the line?

[Sheikh]

Too short again. Vital 5 overs coming up.

[pak4life]

power play - make or break time for pak they will definate go for it

[Inswinger]

Too much room on that delivery. No protection in the off.

[shabbu1]

much needed boundary by clarke

[MalikMohsin]

Didn't Rauf do the same thing in the last match? Called it a no ball when Malik's foot had dragged behind the line?

He did the same thing yesterday.

But loved the scene between Malik and Asad. How often you see the scene like this? :))

[Sheikh]

Quicker, flatter, and fuller. Good comeback.

[MalikMohsin]

Fine Delivery on the last ball

[Ghoshtbuster]

"he picked that like picking his nose" :)))

Boycott is amazing

[Inswinger]

He did the same thing yesterday.

But loved the scene between Malik and Asad. How often you see the scene like this? :))
How often do you see an umpire acting like a drama queen?

[Gunner786]

damn i missed it,
what happened between them?
all i saw was younis telling malik something

[Ghoshtbuster]

Shahid bhai in the powerplay.

[saeed-sohail]

afridi back make or break for ausies.

[Umta]

I like Chappel comments, he got an eye like a dead fish

[Inswinger]

Will we see Shehzad get an over today? From what I've heard he's a handy leggie.

[Sparhawk]

Long hop from afridi goes for 4444

[MalikMohsin]

How often do you see an umpire acting like a drama queen?

Since the oval incident. :D

LBW appealed turned down.

[Inswinger]

Another fine banner for OXY.
"Afridi magical wid the ball"
LOL

[feather]

Oxy for you

Afridi magical wid the ball
Afridi magical wid the bat

[feather]

Another fine banner for OXY.
"Afridi magical wid the ball"
LOL :pissed:

[cricwiz]

Loved the banner about Afridi

QOTW in crowd:


Afridi

Magical with ball
Butcher with bat
Acrobatic in field

[saeed-sohail]

man they sould have tony tonight off he sounds horrible.

[feather]

It seems I can't read or the person above me got it wrong :x

[HuZi]

clarkey said: '' wo wow wow sorryman '' :p to afridi

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi!!!!!

[Gunner786]

magical with the ball he is

[MalikMohsin]

GONE. Afridi has taken one more wicket. Well Bowled

Finally, Clark is GONE.

Well Batted in under pressure.

[Plasma]

Afridi you beast!

Fergusun out!

[HuZi]

wicketttt to afridi

[Ghoshtbuster]

c&b Clarke

[Inswinger]

Afridi strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eagle Eyes]

Ferguson only knows one shot. Somebody shut that down.

[Gunner786]

the difference a good captain makes

[HuZi]

clarke gone...

[Sparhawk]

Another big wicket to Afridi.. Australia will probably struggle to get 200 from here
