14th Match - Australia v Pakistan (25th March)

[James]

Discussion surrounding the 14th Match of the World Cup between Australia and Pakistan (Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh).

Never thought I'd say this but get Finch in

Cant/wont drop Smith so it's either MM or the Finisher for the chop

 

[Kirkut]

Smith vs Amir.

 

[weldone]

In Nagpur, the only way Pakistan can beat Australia is through a trial by spin. At the moment, Afridi isn't really giving enough overs to spinners. Afridi+Imad+Shoaib need to bowl 10 overs. Amir and co. can surely trouble the Aussies but they can't win the match by themselves because Australians are good players of pace and Nagpur will probably present a crumbling pitch.

Loser here is out, I think.

Loser here is out, I think.

Pakistan could still go through with a win

Khawaja
Finch
Watson
Warner
Smith
Maxwell
Marsh
Faulkner
Neville
Zampa

Aggressive top order followed by the two best players of spin followed by two hard hitters. Best line up they can conjure from that squad

Pakistan are out if they lose. Australia could lose and still have a chance against India.

Yeah but this game is in Mohali, the same ground as the NZ game.

 

[weldone]

Ah right SA vs WI is in Nagpur. Mohali will give more advantage to Australia.

 

[smash84]

both teams not that great at T20

Australia the obvious favorites thanks to having a tiny brain and some spine which pakistan completely lack

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Come on Pak...lose and let Aus have a better chance over India.

I obviously didn't follow this tournament very closely so what were the games played over there?Flatter pitch would definitely help Aust who has much stronger batting

Pakistan's last match was in Mohali. That pitch is flatter than Nagpur. First 3-4 overs from Amir and Sami may pose some threat but that's about it.

 

[shrik]

its in Mohali not Nagpur

 

[Shady Slim]

****ing geniuses those aussies dropping their second best bowler (the best of course being watson) while still having nathan spudter-nile

 

[Daemon]

Top start from Sami. Such a **** ****.

 

[weldone]

Sami doesn't really start like pews dreamt him to.

 

[Niall]

Said it before and will say it again, Pakistan should have gone home after beating Bangla, it was lunacy to expect them to win another match.

Like the NZ game, the only point of interest is how much Australia will win by.

 

[Spikey]

clearly the new ball was too old for warner. he wouldn't've got out otherwise
