[AlwaysGreen]

All of a sudden Pakistan have turned into a team of Jonty Rhodes.

Aamir top drawer today

 

[jargan83]

 

[TheParraboy]

all out 307

1 over remaining

We should win this, if we don't, then the last 20 overs is where we lost it

 

[yobbo84]

At drinks Aus were 2/218 after 33 overs

8/89 in 16 overs after that

Lost 6/30 in last 7 overs

 

[Eelectrica]

Amir MOTM. Pretty much won this game for Pakistan.
Embarrassing collapse. 350 should have been within reach.

 

[Timbo]

None for five thousand to not seeing out the fifty overs for five thousand and one.

Amir was outstanding but we should’ve scored a hundred more.

 

[undertaker]

Win or lose, that's gotta be close to a MOTM performance from Amir there.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

There was a time Starc could bat.

I supoose Heals looks after him now.

 

[mozza91]

Ordinary finish. If we’re fair dinkum we should’ve got 350.

 

[some11]

Last 5 overs 5 wickets 21 runs.

Wowee.

 

[Fangs]

Did you realise your lack of levers just dropped the world cup?

Lets hope Stoin, M.Marsh and Maxwell get their shit together. Or our openers start striking way higher to get us up over 350 regularly.

 

[Timbo]

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Tuned out when it looked like 370 was on the cards.

Still think they've got enough on the board, the pitch is offering enough if you're not wasteful.

 

[Eelectrica]

That'll help. Early wicket and getting the dangerous Farkhar out is huge.

 

[jargan83]

Coulter-Plod strikes which is good because both Pakistani bats were starting to get some momentum behind them

 

[jargan83]

Michael Slater and Brendan McCullum on commentary together.

That will do me, goodnight.

 

[Eelectrica]

7/200
Looks like Cummins has anwered Ali's spell with 3 wickets of his own so far.

 

[Eelectrica]

Riaz teeing off. Going to win this game on his own unless we get him out very soon.

 

[Eelectrica]

Starc gets Riaz 8/264 just under 6 overs to go...
9/265 Starc strikes again. Can breathe again... maybe.

5 to go 9/266.
And ball game. Maxwell with the final wicket- run out. Damn, that was a roller coaster.
We had the game by the throat with bat and ball and almost let it slip.
Smith needs to play that Joe Root roll and bat deep I feel if we're going to go anywhere.

Still a wins a win and Pakistan is one dangerous team out of the road.

 

[TheParraboy]

Aust win by 41 runs

Good solid win

Should have scored 40-50 more runs, but 300 was always a good score against Pakistan, but wouldn’t have been against a couple of others

Paddy outstanding. Would have like to have seen Smith roll his arm for an over or two

Bring on the Sri Lankan Eels
