3rd Quarter Final - Australia v Pakistan (20th March)

[James]

Discussion surrounding the 3rd Quarter Final of the World Cup between Australia and Pakistan (Adelaide Oval).

 

[Daemon]

Poor form James. Ireland could still win this.

 

[duffer]

Cmon Aussie.

 

[Burgey]

Australia should set up a semi vs india here, but Pakistan are capable of knocking them over cheaply.

 

[Daemon]

Smith/Clarke very important in this game imo. It's highly unlikely Pakistan will score heavily, so Australia need to bat around these two and not go for an outrageous total and end up with a below par one.

Trying very hard to not use cake analogies here.

 

[Valer]

I'm not sure I'd rather face the West Indies (or SA/ IND). Probably a 80/20 match maybe a bit better.

Hoping Australia win this. Can't have Pakistan another chance against us, beat us and then claim all the world cup losses over the years didn't matter.

No worries. Not going to happen.

I think we've reached Peak Craddock

Which is to say, the above article is basically a piece of crap that attempts to relate something that is happening in modern Australian cricket, good or bad, with "events" that happened within in the Australian team during the the 70's and 80's, or during the Queensland team of the 90's, featuring classic characters like Rod Marsh, Dennis Lillee, the Chappell brothers, David Boon, Merv Hughes, Stuart Law and of course, Alan Border. well **** Craddock and **** shane warne. Mitch Starc was one of the best LO bowlers in the world before Shane Warne's stupid comments and he's one of the best LO bowlers in the world after Warne's stupid comments. It's had no impact on Starc coz he's a ****ing unbelievable bowler in LO cricket. Shane Warne is the rock, and if you think Warne has inspired Starc to greater heights, then you are Homer Simpson. god he writes some ****ing horrid ****.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

It will be the greatest troll ever if we beat India and go on to win the cup.

 

[GGG]

Wish they could both lose, I guess if push comes to shove then I want Pakistan to win as long as they lose the semi.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Has NZ ever beaten Pak in a WC knockout?

 

[GGG]

Has NZ ever beaten Pak in a WC knockout?

No and yes that is why I want them to lose, should of added as long as we make it. They were pretty rubbish until they played us in 92 also.

 

[Energetic]

Pakistan on their day can obliterate Australia even if Australia are at home.

 

[GotSpin]

Nah. Australia to spank Pakistan.

Its very bad. Trying to be poetic and its just rubbish.

End of the road for pakistan unfortunately.

Can't see the likes of Rahat Ali make inroads into Aus. the match might be over at the toss if Aus win the toss and bat first.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Firmly behind Australia for this. I'd prefer us being eliminated early to losing the final to Pakistan.

 

[Jono]

India can't lose the final to Pakistan right? Must play semis

Rahat is very good i think he is not far off from junaid and could actually be the best fast bowler in the country in a years time always grinds my gear when people bash him for no reason though i do believe he is more suited totest cricket
