Certainly you did not thought that they will be in the winning position I did :)

well i can say is that there was no sense of responsibility, no planning, nothing…started with 3 wktz down and have lost 5 wktz for only 60+ runs…so close yet so far…aussies were under huge pressure…pakistan gave them the initiative to make in-roads by playing poor-shots…that was not the way to dictate the bowlers…

last man in…
shoaib gone…

259 / 9

i predicted that pakistan won’t score more than 250…well they did prove me wrong by scoring 9 more runz but my point still standz…i told you ppl that don’t jump up and down just bcoz aussiez are bundled up for 127…they will have their chance to bowl and pakistan won’t stand a better chance to win…and this 259/9 showz the result…

a sad display of batting by pakistan… :nook:
aussies won despite bad batting in 2nd innings, pakistan lost despite some agressive and good bowling by shoaib and saQlain…but in the end its the win that counts…

well its not always the win that counts! Sometimes the way the game has been played also counts! and i dont think pakistan batted badly in second innings but i agree 316 was too much for them and most of us knew that they might not win it but the spirit that was lacking earlier was back and thts the helathy sign…

planning? well i think they planned it well, leaving balls outside the off stump and playing on merit.. the wicket that cost us the most was younis khans and he was given a doubtful decision but thats the way life is…

letz get done with this match and then i’ll prolly answer to one thing u have said in this reply…‘itz not alwayz the win that counts’… :k:

Pakistan require another 46

Crickinfo so ****in slow....

No worries guys... We will end up losing by what, 40 runs? That isnt much, it could have gone either way, fact is, we have discovered a great batting talent in this match, and our bowling line up has again proven to be excellent... All the best for the second match!!! G'night
