[Sledger]

80% of times, team batting first wins the game here.

[alishahid]

[WithLoveFromCanada]

[alishahid]

[Free Hit]

[Digital]

Sohaib isn't playing today :s

[alishahid]

pathetic!!

[kaalakawaa]

horrible horrible team

Watch Watsan beat the hell out of Razzaq today. He will be utterly and totally destroyed today

[Digital]

the teams are not announced yet

Liam Brickhill: As ever, Shahid offers a lively and somewhat scattergun interview at the toss. He would've batted too, but he doesn't expect the pitch to change. Ahmed Shahzad is rested today, and Umar Akmal comes back. Sadly, no Shoaib!

Check cricinfo over by over commentry

[sehban]

I kinda wanted Pak to bowl first today, see how well they chase. Also, if they succeed in chasing their confidence will rocket high up and put the only weakness in the Pakistan side to rest.

[james_bond]

Now we can win toss in qurters.

[Khan88]

We're going to have to be attacking and bowl out of our skins to win this. Any news on team selection?

[tahaqureshi]

honestly, how about all those shouting pathetic from the get go just get the hell out of this thread..negativity is the last thing this forum needs.

[waqar-uk]

no shoaib...wahab plays

[Afridi_Fan]

Lets chase it.

[Bullet Drive]

Razzaq up the order

[SOSami]

Any team news?

[waqar-uk]

Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal†, Asad Shafiq, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Abdul Razzaq, Shahid Afridi*, Abdur Rehman, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz

[Friend786]

It's australia's match

[Khan88]

Why is Rehman playing!? Why!? Why!? :cry:

[BoomBoomCricket]

We will do this!

[Digital]

No fuss lets focus on the match .

[Afridi_Fan]

I have a feeling..............

Lets not say it.

[Arsh_afridi]

Poor bowling line up

[WithLoveFromCanada]

80% match already in australia's favor

[cricketpassion]

OP its not group B game .anyway kia faraq parhta hai

[tahaqureshi]

lol watch rehman pick up 3 wickets and all the haters going into their shell after the match.

[adilmomin]

OZ will be all out under 240.

[Sledger]

honestly, how about all those shouting pathetic from the get go just get the hell out of this thread..negativity is the last thing this forum needs.

I didn't know there was some sort of rule saying everyone had to give positive feedback on team Pakistan 100% of the time. Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention with 'get the hell out of this thread'. Appreciated.

[*syed59*]

bhaiyon sabar karo.... lets see how we bowl first here...

[Friend786]

Why abdur rehman ?

[Sledger]

The 'negative' Wasim Akram on now critisising the team selection.

[yadunoe]

pakistan zindabad

[Fireworks11]

So Afridi's press conference was spot on. No double bluff.

[Sledger]

Kamran as opener is a good move - Wasim.

[Ahmad]

Talk about wrist slitters united!

Take it easy guys. Let's back the team. 20% teams have won batting second as well!

Under 200.

[sam]

Afridi is good at winning the toss when he is predicting if it'll land heads or tails. Not when he is tossing the coin.

[tahaqureshi]

The game has yet to start and the first word you type is pathetic. Maybe you should just sit back and watch things pan out first. Thanks.

[yadunoe]

we lost the toss.

[the Great Khan]

First time I've seen wrist skitters get here before the match

[Khan88]

At least the weather forecast is like 100% clear..wow lol

[waqar-uk]

I wud have played Ajmal and Akhter today....dont mind Riaz but defenitly mistake not to play Ajmal....Aus winning the toss...big advantage...

[Bullet Drive]

Akhtar & Ajmal not in. Razzaq up the order.

[Afridi_Fan]

we lost the toss.

Wow that was quick reporting.

[Sledger]

Hardly, your post was an immature and over-emotional one. All I said was I'm not happy with the team, no need to tell people where and when to post, that isn't your place.

Have I said Pakistan will lose the game? No.

[Munna]

they are showing the training highlights .. shoaib was bowling .. sad to see him not playing!
but u can't complain too much .. wahab might prove better for us inshAllah

[Ahmad]

I don't care if teams batting first had won 100%! Stats don't count for nothing once the match starts. There's a first time for everything.

its hard but i think Pakistan will win because its Saturday!!!

[yadunoe]

yaar thats why playing in sl is bad . whoever wins toss has a big advantage

[tahaqureshi]

First time I've seen wrist skitters get here before the match

Apparently wrist slitting is part of the freedom of expression clause on PP.

[IAJ]

Early wickets are key here, hope they start attacking from ball 1. If we can restrict them to 225 we will be blown away for 120+ and get ready for SA in the quarters hehe..Just kidding, we will inshaAllah winit.

[sam]

I don't mind Riaz playing at the cost of Shoaib. But Rehman instead of Ajmal? Even after so many nothing performances from him over the last 5 games?!

[Sledger]

Should look to Afridi to inspire, hopefully he can replicate his 6 he took in similar conditions in UAE.

[yadunoe]

common gul and wahab get the early breakthrough

[james_bond]

Good thing is that we will win toss in quarters now as we hve lost 3 in row now.

[Munna]

why do the commentators wear those yellow ugly ties in this WC?

[Bullet Drive]

Stats suggest team batting first will win.

[Digital]

No sign of rain so far

[iZeeshan]

Gross team selection. No plan of attack at all

[Munna]

uh oh .. ravi shastri is here

[tahaqureshi]

Have I said Pakistan will lose the game? No.

Let's suppose the 100 odd members on this forum take the same approach you do and we get 100 odd "pathetic" shouts on this thread, wouldn't really make for much of a discussion would it? That too before the match has even started?

Nobody's telling you not to post, just pointing out the inherent over-emotional overtones in your own post.

[dinakar]

from Cricinfo, "If Australia win this match, they will finish top of Group A, and Pakistan fourth. If Pakistan win, they will go top with Australia third"

that says, for an Ind-Pak QF Pak has to win today and India has to lose, right? SAF-BAN result is more or less clear.

[yadunoe]

Stats suggest team batting first will win.

yes definitely big advantage

[mastermind_quad]

NO Akhtar why???

[pakistan_pride1]

im going to watch razzaq innings against south Africa till the match starts!!!
