Now all the hopes with Umar Akmal if he stays just 10 to 15 overs situation will be changed .........
Umer Akmal 22 runs off 14 balls
Younis Khan 18 runs off 33 balls
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010
First Younus has put pressure on Salman and now he is putting Pressure on Umer to score. I am not asking much from Younus but just singles ....
I actually do not have a great problem with the way Younis is batting at the moment...agree though he needs to rotate the strike atleast if he cannot hit the boundaries. The one thing he should not do is get out now. He should make this slow yet solid start count by accelerating soon and making a decent score
The RR is good: 5.16
155/3 (30 overs)
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010
Pakistan line-up looks more solid when Younis is there.
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010
Out - Akmal gone !!
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010
Umar gone too.... 156/4
Exactly what I was talking about.....Akmal Gone ... just because of younus. He has put umer under lot of pressure to score by not even taking singles ...... Now he should stay till end. Pakistan can not accelerate now, not till last 6/7 overs else they might just get out without playing 50 overs...

Reckless play from Umer Akmal straight after the drinks break, slashes a lifter From McKay straight to the keeper....most needless at this stage
156/4

Agree with you ...... he is on the pitch more then 6 overs and should play shots on lose balls .......

I am not even asking for shots ...just take freaking singles when field is wide spread instead of "solid blocks" and showing the full face to camera ....

can't blame Younis there coz there are still 20 odd overs remaining. That was a reckless shot from Umer Akmal...most unnecessary in the circumstances...the first over no less after the break. It was short and wide. it was n't like there were only 3 or 4 overs left
Our players lack patience (His brother did the same, again that was a needless shot)
Now instead of making 270-280 we could well end up making just 230-240
Nathan Hauritz gave 52 in 7 overs ....lets see how Afridi & Ajmal Bowled .... Pak should score at least 275
Umer is impatient I totally agree but Younus was not helping by not ticking the scoreboard....

Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010
Younus lucky to not ruled out by 3rd umpire ...stumped ... I think that was out .... but it was too close in the end ..so OK decision ...
Umer is impatient I totally agree but Younus was not helping by not ticking the scoreboard....
And to add
(cricinfo)
"I am so mad with Umar Akmal. My God! What a careless shot." Taimur is speaking for several thousand Akmal fans
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010
Younis lucky not to be given out stumped. To me it looked out.
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010
Now Pakistan cant afford to lose any wicket till 41/42 overs ... They should just make 5-6 per overs in next 7/8 overs and then accelerate... for now, part-timers are making life difficult for Pakistan..
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010
Clark and Hussy are bowling .... Good chance for Pakistan to Accelerate the score board but i'm afraid they are the ones who gave wickets to Simon Katich ...
Pakistan still have the batting powerplay
Will be interesting to see when they take it...maybe when Afridi is well-set at the crease
