Re: Aus v Pak, T20 WC, Johannesburg, 18th Sept

RR: 8.88
Pakistan's RR (last 5 overs from 11.4): 9.00

by filosofee Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:36

Yes! Misbah's SR above 100 now!

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:38

Pak doing it easy now with 2 overs from Clarke/Token to come.

by Brass Monkey Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:41

Could possibly say Pak are in the driving seat at this point. They're above par with the RRR, got 6 wickets left(including boomboom) and only need 40 odd.

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:42

7 an over for 6 overs with 6 wickets should be a piece of piss. Nice little partnership this one.

Aye, didn't really know what to make of Misbah from his first showing, but he looks the biz.

31 off 30 needed.

Partnership beats 83 for the 5th wicket by Ponting & Katich in the first ever T20 international against NZ in February 2005.

Team in 'sensible batting' shocker

by doctorspin Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:49

Odds on the tie?

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:49

I've just looked at the scorecard.

HTF did Australia only score 9 runs off the last 14 balls?

I think they've realised it would be hard to throw the match when you only need 6 runs of 12 balls with 6 wickets left.

by doctorspin Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:51

Blee bowls a no ball....free hit...and overthrows on the no ball. Just as Oz were forcing the RRR up from 1/ball.

Free hit missed. Still Carp from Oz though

by doctorspin Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:52

22 off 18 required

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:53

And just when the pressure is building up we get this:

16.6 Lee to Shoaib Malik, (no ball) 2 runs, Lee over-steps and bowls a full toss which Malik hits towards mid-on, Clarke dives to his left and fields superbly but concedes an overthrow, free hit coming up

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:53

Maybe both sides have been paid to lose?

by doctorspin Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:56

Thinking about Oz losing is about as shocking as England winning.

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2007, 15:56

13 off 13 needed now.

by doctorspin Tue 18 Sep 2007, 16:02

Huge 6 from Misbah all but takes Pak home. 111metres.

And Brummy boy bowls a bouncer at scores level and pak win on the wide.

Smart.

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2007, 16:03

All over.

What a partnership. Not a single chance I don't think.

by mynah Tue 18 Sep 2007, 16:04

No Potato, but certainly a turnip for the books!!!

lol!

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2007, 16:05

Anyway, nice of the Aussies to ensure that Geoff Lawson doesn't get his house burnt down...

by Brass Monkey Tue 18 Sep 2007, 16:06

Misbah and Tanvir. Never heard of them. Look damn good overall.

by doctorspin Tue 18 Sep 2007, 16:10

I suspect many will be saying that they have never heard of Snape, Schofield, Wright...but they may not be repeating the second part of your statement.

by Henry Tue 18 Sep 2007, 16:12

Well played Pakistan. Misbah justifying his inclusion over Yousuf. Well actually they should have picked Misbah AND Yousuf and left out that kamakaze joker Nazir.
