3rd ODI: Pakistan v Australia at Abu Dhabi - Apr 27, 2009

[TheParraboy]

series 1-1

3 matches to go


interesting to see gilly and haydos killing it in the IPL

Wouldnt mind them being selected in the 20/20 world cup as a one off
plus a couple of other old hands, its the one trophy they havent won
Im sure no one would mind?

Warnie is doing pretty well too

 

[lockyno1]

Just no, time to move on. I am all for Luke Ronchi to be picked though..do we really need Mike Hussey in a 20/20 match..if so why..he aint that good. I'd rather play Dave Hussey or North

 

[aussies1st]

Dussey is a myth, had one good T20 knock in ages to boost his piss poor average of 12 or whatever it was to go with his piss poor ODI average of 25.

time to move on from 20/20 cricket? :sarcasm:

its a nothing form of the game, why do we need to move on from it?

might as well bring back the legends for one encore crack at a title they never won, especially as they would be ideally prepared coming from the IPL. We aint got no hope picking Dussey and Whitey

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

2/49 off 12.

Duddles failed.

The game rests on the bluebags shoulders, again.

 

[TheParraboy]

4/106 in the 29th

not looking good, DHussey in next, he could set thigns alight?

 

[Tom Shines]

Yeah right, 5/155 in the 43rd...

Nice stadium they're playing at... the ground is absolutely massive. Might be bigger than the MCG.

 

[Cletus]

So 200, we're stuffed Have all the good players gone to the IPL? Even with them we're a 50/50 chance to win, with these plonkers we're no hope.

 

[Twizzle]

about time Clarkey lifted his game to the next level

well done

Lee will be joining the squad soon according to Foxsports

 

[aussies1st]

The myth out for 10 says it all really. Good batting and bowling by Clarke, Hilfy has been pretty good and Bracken has got back to his best.

 

[TheParraboy]

Hauritz stars with the bat and ball

he is either really really crap, or really good

 

[IanG]

Spinners paradise.

Obviously bowled well. In this day and age in ODIs any score below 200 is considered pathetic.

 

[Twizzle]

it is a very abrasive wicket

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

about time Clarkey lifted his game to the next level

well done

No sh*t, do you even watch Cricket?

About time Clarke lifted his game to the next level? The same Michael Clarke who was easily our best batsman on our home soil?

 

[hineyrulz]

Blubaggers save the day again, Dussey the myth fails again.


This pretty much sums the bloke up

Dussey - 10 off 21 balls

Hauritz - 18 off 17 balls

f**k him off to KFC's big beat off with Cameron sh*te!!

he's not on home soil now toto,

he is a good player of spin and that is an abrasive wicket which better suits the spinner, so I expect him to be a cut above most of our batsman because he has good footwork on pitches like that one

by his standards he's been average, I expect more of him than he has produced this summer

that game last night is more like what he is capable of, not so much his bowling but his batting,

I expect him to play at that level more often
