[Mr Casson]

Gilly's Perth curse strikes again!

 

[andyc]

i am soon to be faced with a moral dilemma.. any ideas people? stay on the computer and watch the cricket update on cricinfo, or watch lleyton hewitt in the tennis?

 

[biased indian]

Next man in will be Symonds

 

[biased indian]

watch the cricket u will have a better chance of seeing a Aussie victory

 

[andyc]

lol but i know (well, pretty sure) australians going to win this one, whereas the tennis is uncertain, so itd make for more entertainment. oh well.
quite surprised clarke isnt coming in next.. i think symonds should be a bit lower down the order for some big hitting at the end

 

[cricket player]

martyn is gone afridi this guy is absloutely brilliant.

[andyc]

my lord pontings out too.

 

[Duncan]

Looks like this turned into an actual contest after those two quick wickets.

yeah hopefully. but i remember that being said in the tests when australia were 5 for 78

 

[Beleg]

Yes, but ODI cricket is different.
If Pakistan can restrict Australia to below 260, they are in with a very real chance of winning the game. [and right now they are doing all the right things, putting afridi on one end and getting through the overs quickly, only question is, who will bowl at the end?]

may be its now intresting and uncertain for u to miss the finals???

 

[andyc]

may be its now intresting and uncertain for u to miss the finals???

hahahaha yeah maybe. but ill probably just end up running to and fro

 

[Mr Casson]

I have a question: what if Clarke stops scoring runs down the order?

Then will Hayden be dropped/moved?

Can you make it a little less??? I don't think Pakistan's batting is good enough to CHASE anything 250+. They can hardly chase anything over 150 against Australia
In 2002, Australia 167. Pakistan making 168/8...Clearly if it had been more than 200, Pakistan would have lost.
In Netherlands, Australia: 192 and Pakistan ending up with 175

Probably, since Hayden,himself, is struggling to score runs as an opener.

 

[andyc]

good question. i doubt hayden would be moved, itd probably be a case of dropped or not. would be interesting to see how he performs in clarkes place, however

 

[tadeusz]

5/164 after 34, Pakistan half a chance now I reckon.
