Group A: Australia v Pakistan at Centurion Sep 30 2009 (ICC Champions Trophy)

[TheParraboy]

Clarke sent home bad back. This is a day game over there 9.30am

Starts here today at 5.30pm AEST

Will Sunshine make it the awesome foursome of 0's?

Funnily enough if we win we will be playing the poms in the semi final :crazy:

Lose and we could still qualify over india (even if they beat WI) then we play NZ in the semi. Though you think India will give it to WI, so we kinda gotta win this game vs the Pakis

 

[Twizzle]

its almost a do or die

hopefully we'll get up

 

[African Monkey]

You won't want to face us with the form we're in.

 

[beads6]

I'd prefer not to play the Kiwis with Bond in there side. We will destroy the Poms if we beat the Pakistanis

 

[aussies1st]

As long as we get to the next stage I don't mind who we face.

 

[Twizzle]

Pakis off to a good start

1 fo 70 off 16

 

[aussies1st]

2 wickets to our all rounders, excellent catch by Johnson to remove Khan.

 

[TheParraboy]

3/114 - 30 overs

 

[TheParraboy]

interesting we won the toss and decided to bowl

 

[aussies1st]

Johnson gets the breakthrough no idea how he continues doing it but that makes up for his waywardness earlier. Bowling well to Ul-Haq

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Something very dodgy is going on here

 

[fish eel]

Oh come on, guys get dismissed hit wicket on wides all the time without actually playing a shot

 

[TheParraboy]

Pakistan doing something dodgy over India?

Will India have a cry and go home?

 

[Didgi]

Dodgy dodgy dodgy.

I hope India dont get through anyway.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Something very dodgy is going on here

Was thinking the same thing. Pakistan have a better record against NZ then England, and with NZ being riddled with injury it increases Pakistans chances even further. Then there's the bonus of screwing over India.

Maybe they could afford to be complacent, but it still doesn't look good.

 

[aussies1st]

Watson gone again

 

[Collingwood Storm]

In the WI vs India game Dhoni gave the gloves to someone else and came on to bowl after 15 overs with the Windies 4 down.

It's his first ever bowl in ODIs (he has bowled 2 overs in tests) he started 4, 4, ., wicket

 

[aussies1st]

This will be a choke of epic proportions if we stuff it up from here.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Massive problems here for Australia. Just cant see where the runs are coming from. Dont no if we could risk the powerplay?

 

[aussies1st]

Nervous times here, 13 off 15
