Brilliant catching.

 

[andyc]

Dropped catch off Jacko.

Damn

How bout we just use the first-chance average and give Jack the wicket then

No objections here.

 

[Kweek]

Quite similar to England's Graeme White - reasonably front on action.

Using flight intelligently, good control of line and length and getting good turn and bounce... and he's just had Kail dropped at midwicket for four.

we'll try to sign him then

expert analaysis there from Halsey, onya Hals

Would you ever expect anything else?

 

[Blaze]

84 run partnership! Good stuff from the Pakistan lads.

 

[andyc]

Jack finishes with 10-0-47-0.
Should've had at least one wicket though.

 

[Langeveldt]

This guy Ritchard is identical to Paul Collingwood, in pretty much every way!

 

[Blaze]

This is a superb partnership, these two have completely changed the complection of the game.

 

[Tim]

Australia are in serious trouble if you ask me. They are going to be chasing under lights and they're also up against the two opening bowlers who are very highly rated.

Agreed. Looks like the dropped catch will be very, very costly.

 

[Neil Pickup]

This pitch yielded 611 runs between Ireland and NZ the other day - it's even money for me here.

 

[Tim]

Yeah but there's a difference. Unbelievably its a day/night match so none of these players really have any experience playing under lights. Throw in the fact that Pakistan have two extremely good quicks and it's a difficult mix for the Aussies to deal with.


Australia will deserve to win the World Cup if they win this match alone because it's a huge test. 600 runs the other day means jot all considering this is also a semi-final match.

 

[Neil Pickup]

It means that Australia will be backing themselves as there's runs in the track.

 

[Tim]

Well if they weren't backing themselves anyway, you'd have to question them being there!

 

[Langeveldt]

LOL at that fielding

 

[Neil Pickup]

Impressing the commentators by being a good, honest boy and signalling four, though.

"Un-Australian"?

 

[Tim]

Australia would probably say they've had better days in the field!

 

[Tim]

its turned a bit shambolic for Australia in the field.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Australia would probably say they've had better days in the field!

It gets worse... Suddenly England's last five don't look so bad!

Now Pakistan are strong favourites, I think.
