Wait a sec. Am I missing something here? Didn't Pakistan just win two games back to back without Akhter with somebody getting a 4-wicket haul in both games?wahindiawah said:
I hope Pakistan win this series so Akhtar can realize that he is not the Pakistani bowling attack!!! He literally said yesterday that it feels wierd when he is playing his very best and the other 10 players aren't doing anything.
What.....an....a$$!!!!

Whatever it takes!!!
I think Pakistan can defeat Australia, as we saw on Sunday. But, the problem is can they do it on the big stage? I hope they play to their potential, then they have a very real chance of winning.
Having said that, I wanted the Windies to reach the final, because I thought in an ODI game, a great knock from Lara can so easily get the Windies a win. But with Pakistan, without Akhthar, there is no one who stands out as a match winner, although that could be a good thing, if they all play their parts and fit in well. I think the Pakistani fielding and running between the wickets will be crucial. Their batting is pretty good, their bowling is not ordinary but it is their fielding and the running between the wickets which will have to be at its best, if they have to push Australia and beat them.

Certainly the better side on the day won, but I think the West Indies - firing on all cylinders - would be a better bet against the Aussies than this Pakistan side.SJS said:
The bowling, notwithstanding a superb performance from Rana against the Windies, is arguably even less penetrative than the West Indian attack and the top 6 is certainly less experienced and, in my view, more vulnerable.
The hitting of Razzaq and Afridi is a great weapon, but will generally only turn a close game rather than transform a one-sided one. I'd be very (pleasantly) surprised if Australia didn't win 2-0 and a litte (unpleasantly) surprised if West Indies didn't turn Pakistan over in the Caribbean this Summer.

I think the bowling is very ordinary, but agree that their fielding (which needs to improve) and running between the wickets (which needs to maintain the surprising intensity shown on Monday night) are key.honestbharani said:
You can't be so sure. If they were tests, then yes, easily. But in ODIs, the better team can lose. Although Australia has only lost once so far, West Indies had them in one match but rain screwed it up, and another they had them reeling and should have bowled them out for a cheap score. The first match with Pakistan and Australia was not a breeze for Australia either, Clarke made 97 but if he wasn't dropped, Pakistan could have won. So just the one easy win on West Indies and the other easy thrashing of Pakistan. Australia has shown they are not invincible in this tournament. Most likely, they will win. But I doubt it will be a walk in a park like the test series.roseboy64 said:

Right now the odd are 60-40 in favour of Australia.... But mind you Pakistan can do pull off a coup......

Pakistan are a surprise package. If you open them too quickly, Afridi will explode. If you are too cautious, Afridi will fire. Either way, he is likely to hit some sixes. My point is, never be too sure that Afridi will explode. 
Australia are the obvious favourites, but Pakistan can pull off a great show.

So does the rest of second string Pak bowlers!Dydl said:Akhtar does give away a lot of extras as well and isn't overall consistent.Maybe that is why they won against the Windies-although I doubt it.
