Very nice stuff from Afridi.

Say what you like about Boom Boom, he's building a very good reputation as a bowler in the shorter versions of the game.

Yeah, you're not wrong there. He's second on the averages atm, behind only Vettori. Also shows just how important spin can be.

****ing Channel Nine. You delay the telecast by 45 minutes and then show a bloody delayed telecast. Just show it live!

 

[pasag]

Ponting bowled.

Agreed so much. Why don't they just show it live ffs? I can understand if you want to delay it for a show, but just cut straight to it. They've done it like that for everything else I've seen so far, but I've nfi why they've changed it now. Am angry.

Whatever happens Pakistan seem to have a good plan with their bowling, having two seamers get through the first 6, then bring the spinners on as soon as the field can be put pack, then as the long handle starts to come out more they've got Umar Gul to bowl through 4 and the odd over from different bowlers at the other end.

I think this gets the best out of their bowling.

Aussies have lost some real momentum here and with just Clarke to come (who hasn't batted for a while) so a Hussey special is needed by Australia today.

 

[pup11]

So whats a good total on this pitch?

 

[Days of Grace]

Lol at Chappell, "Hodge didn't look fully extended, but he got it out there..." dear oh dear
:-)

 

[pup11]

I just don't think Hodgey's game is suited to bat at no.6 in T20 cricket.

 

[pup11]

C'mon Huss!

 

[pup11]

First six of the Australian innings comes off Huss's bat.

 

[pup11]

Huss turning it on for Australia!

 

[pup11]

Hussey gone, thats not good for Australia.

 

[pasag]

Need some tonking from Lee here.

 

[pup11]

Clarke gets run-out of the first ball he plays in this tournament, this has gone horribly wrong for Australia and credit must go to Pakistan.

 

[pup11]

165 runs to win for Pakistan and i don't think that is a good total on this pitch, Australia would have to bowl really well here.

 

[irfan]

Still have to back Australia tho, thought they bowled brilliantly against England and the Pakistan top order (especially Nazir) is suspect as best
