1st ODI: Pakistan v Australia at Dubai - Apr 22, 2009

Knowing our luck Shahid Afridi will probably destory us with the bat too.

If he even gets a bat that is unless he is opening these days?

 

[Twizzle]

beaten by Afridi,

and Roy lasted 4 balls, yep he's ready to be selected in the Ashes squad now

 

[TheParraboy]

part timer afridi 6 wickets

fulltimer hauritz 0 wickets

thats where we lost it, right with these two blokes

 

[lockyno1]

Glad Marsh is gone. He scores way too slow. Watson and Haddin should be our openers now which is good

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

No surprise that Hauritz contributed the least with the ball.

Hilfenahus, Clark, Hopes took crucial wickets. Backen kept the runs low defending a poor total. Symonds took a wicket. Hauritz, nothing.

 

[lockyno1]

Haurie was a fraction below par, but you can't keep the great man down for long. He'll be back with a vengeance!

 

[IanG]

Also on a slightly different aspect. I'm surprised that the Aussies are allowed to have Victoria Bitter plasted on the front of their shirts in that part of the world.

United Arab Emirates are a pretty relaxed country, aren't they?

They have the richest Horse racing event, don't they? They also want to have their own Las Vegas but twice as big.

Well if that's the case fair enough. Was under the impression with it being in the Middle East it'd be a predominatly muslum part of the world.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

They are, but, my understanding is they are a fairly relaxed country, compared to say Saudi Arabia.

 

[hineyrulz]

Anybody see the irony in Nathan Hauritz failing to pick an off spinner? :lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

What a suprise :shock: Hauri offers about as much as Locky does.

Haurie will be back

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Haurie doesn't have a "fraction below par" standard, he just has his usual pies and pastries.

I heard something like that they still aren't allowed to bet on the horses over there. All the betting is done from overseas.

 

[simmo1]

And that was pretty much the most inept batting display I've seen. Its not like Afridi was doing anything special with the ball, most of them got out playing for turn!

 

[hineyrulz]

Afridi bowled well, but the other bloke bowled better. Hopes continues to do well with little fanfare.

I thought he bowled pretty well, normally he's just pretty flat

looked to me like they had problems picking his wrong one, as he was turning them both ways
