*Official* Australia vs Pakistan in England

[Jono]

That shot from Clarke was glorious

 

[Jono]

Shocking decision. Was not out in real time clearly IMO.

Good pace from Aamer though

 

[AaronK]

freaking umpire is blind lol

 

[Jono]

Clarke ripping into Shoaib.

Shoaib, best not to sledge when you're getting owned by a guy who has recently been unable to get the ball off the square.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Well, one dasher replaces another. It's Tim Paine.

Err yea. Tim Paine. Bats just like Warner.

 

[Jono]

Paine

Clearly out of form.

 

[Jayzamann]

Faff, Paine.

Paine.

 

[AaronK]

it is interesting.. at one point in his career shoaib had those lethal yarkers.. now that he is struggling, one might say why not bowle afew of those..

but he is going short, wide, and leg side.. as i am typing this he got a wicket..

 

[Faisal1985]

finally akhtar gets a break through.

 

[Jayzamann]

Seriously, a team with Clarke, Paine and Hopes in the top 4 -in this form- should not win any sort of t20 game. Really?

 

[Jarquis]

Err yea. Tim Paine. Bats just like Warner.

One gets the feeling Cricinfo has a sense of humour.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Clarke perhaps trying to find batsmen at the other end who're bad enough to make him look good.

 

[Faisal1985]

Clarke is such a fox, he knew it was Akhtar who was going to open the attack so went opening so that he doesn't have to face Ajmal, Gul or Afridi.....this guy is a very unattractive fox.....

 

[pasag]

Hopes above Hussey makes no sense.

 

[pasag]

Clarke's best innings. Showed good intent and was prepared to adapt to the format for the first time. Has to realise that he doesn't have to play the mature innings, he doesn't have to go out and play every ball on its traditional merits, just go out and have a tonk.

 

[Jayzamann]

Damn. That was looking promising.

 

[Jono]

That was great from Aamer and Clarke.

Could have easily been a bad and ugly situation there with Aamer colliding into Clarke after getting him out.

Great to see Clarke accepted his apology immediately and walked off.

 

[Faisal1985]

Told you, all Clarke wanted is a 30 odd runs batting in the power play against a hopeless shoaib..and he got it......wonder what this means to the Australian fans.

 

[Jono]

Shoaib steaming in here! Huge pace!

 

[Faisal1985]

How come cricinfo is not posting speeds of Pak bowlers? They were posting them for Australian bowlers!
