*Official* Australia vs Pakistan in England

[wpdavid]

Mate, Pak still heavy favourites.

If we somehow got to 250 it would be even. 300 we'd be favourites.

Pak's batting is poor, granted. But Sydney was a once in a lifetime.

Nah, especially given the psychological impact of what we're seeing now. I said earlier they'd struggle to make 150, and given they way Smith's taken them to the cleaners I agree with the guy who said they won't reach three figures.

For the record, Ben Hilfenhaus scored more runs in this series than Mike Hussey, Marcus North and Shane Watson.

North and Watson have more wickets in this series than Ben Hilfenhaus though.

Jeez, this is going to be fun!

Not a one-off buddy..not a one-off..you're just not familiar with Pakistan's history.

And people wonder why we need to show faith in Smith

Yep, and that was with Younis and Yousuf.

This batting line-up is incredibly ****. Like absolutely piss-poor.

Australia will have to bowl poorly to lose from here.

Is Asif injured or what?? Kaneria replaced by dire Gul

If Gul bowls his ODI repertoire he could be pretty good

EDIT: As I said.

Gul has gone for over 5..Smith took him to the cleaners

One adventurous shot too many. Pity the party had to end then. Bravo Smitteh.

Am aware of that, tbh didn't place much emphasis on that match after all the **** Pak were going through around that time.

They'll win this by 5 wickets. 2 week avatar bet?

 

[Black_Warrior]

Thank God he didnt get a ton..losing after bundling out the opposition for 88 is bad enough but if a 21 year old 1 test old bowler comes and smashes a ton..you know your team is terrible

 

[Jono]

**** Australia just blew out odds even more. Very tempted to get on again.









Yes I will.

 

[Sir Alex]

Pakistan indeed have a big task on their hands. Expect them to be 5 down next to nothing today or none for 120.

Better bat than bowler TBH.

 

[Jono]

Dougy to get 4. Australia to win by 32 runs.

 

[Faisal1985]

We are so screwed...

 

[Spark]

Also, don't think this pitch is flat, either. There are some nasty bits as we saw some that spat up off a length before Smith's assault and I think that it's become better for the way our bowlers do their thing. Sydney was probably a better wicket.

Sorry I am not familiar with Smith...isnt he in the team as the spinner?

 

[Sir Alex]

He's a kid FFS!

He's got no credentials against anything

At his age, Sachin had nearly 2500 test runs, an average above 50 and 8 hundreds. 21 is young but not noobishly young. That would be Aamer at 18. Anyways useful hitting by the young fellow might just have swung it Australia's way.
