[Furball]

Love it when Umar goes berserk.

Protip: don't report posts while making the same ones yourself. Instead of reporting each others posts, try not making those posts in the first place.

And cut it out.

A real lifter there from Johnson to end a very nice innings from Shafiq that has edged his side towards the brink of victory.

Far out, that one stood up. Where was that seam movement an hour ago?

 

[Shri]

Shafiq does a Haddin.

 

[andyc]

Get in!

Getting a bus back to Canberra in 6 hours and a bit. Was just about to turn in but then Mitch actually did something. Defos still need a few more though.

 

[andyc]

Great moment this for Afridi tbh. One of those few times were hitting 15 (8) would actually come in handy.

Tbf to Johnson, he deserved that

Bowled a lot of dross but has also beaten the bat numerous times

In summary, typical performance from him

 

[kingpin]

****!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fusion]

Wow what a shocker.

 

[Top_Cat]

Razzaq to lead the rest of the chase, m'thinks. After the effort with the ball, he'll be burning to win.

 

[BeeGee]

Stupid from Afridi, hit it straight to the fielder.

 

[andyc]

Yesssss c'mon boys. Starting to realise how English fans have felt this whole tournament.

World's most stupid cricketer EVER

 

[silentstriker]

The Afridi brain explosion. I would say something but 21/9 will always be there as a countepoint of the ideal brain explosion.

 

[Burgey]

Whenever I lament the brainlessness of an Australian cricketer, there is always Afridi to make me feel better.

 

[angad]

haha Ian Chappel at his best in this match, holds a grudge against Pakistan.

 

[ankitj]

Afridi is such a garbage batsman. Why does he bat ahead of Razzaq?

Afridi is such a garbage batsman. Why does he bat ahead of Razzaq?

In the situation I'd have gone in before Razzaq if I was Afridi. A 15 from 8 balls virtually ends the game, if I throw my wicket away then Razzaq's still to come in to steer you home.

 

[Woodster]

Afridi was always going to try and get the last 30 odd runs as quick as he can while he had the supposed security of a slightly more sensible Razzaq behind him in the order, and Umar Akmal set at the other end. Had he got a quick 20 it would have been game over. Personally am still surprised after 317 ODI's of Afridi playing in this exact manner, people expect him to do anything different now!
