VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

Feb 06, 2005 03:15 GMT Australia v Pakistan VB Series 2nd Final Sydney

Here we are! :biggthumb: Final-2 > Feb 6th. D/N

It can be a decider for either team. :k:

Australia, for coat-sealing the Victory of Friday Final-uno.
&
Pakistan, for wining the next Sunday Feb-06 Final-2 and then carry on with the feat of a surprise VB series win on Feb 8th.:eek: < Yup I would also make a face like this. Inshallah

The positive that has come out of the series and the Final so far is quite encouraging for Pakistan in the light of a team-rebuilding phase. Some exciting performances are seen and a 'new paint smell ’ is quite prominent in the structure.
:rolleyes:

Beware though! Pakistan had heavy odds against them at a start and what we see so far is mere consolation.

This player should be added or falan player should be dropped is quite interesting read, but not very amusing when we over exaggerate with our comments and facts to malign a player. :elmo:

The whole young guns of Pak-team require our encouragement and healthy criticism where it’s due.

So let the lions out! Fire away with your team selections,:smiley:

Re: VB series - Final-2 Pakistan-Austrailia - Sydny

Drop Hafeez and bring Taufeeq if they don't like Yasir :D

j/k ... both of them are scoring same amount of runs. If Khalil doesn't get fit they can try bringing Azhar back instead of Hafeez, otherwise the team should stay same.

Re: VB series - Final-2 Pakistan-Austrailia - Sydny

i heard inzimam saying that khalil is out for 2 or 3 weeks.

Re: VB series - Final-2 Pakistan-Austrailia - Sydny

bechara Khalil

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

Australia is going to win this one easily. After watching Pakistani pathetic batting performance I don't expect them to win.

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

Salman needs to butt in with his batting this time around, he had only two teeth when we last saw scoring a ton. The guy must have grown up since then :p

ab haarein ya jeetein, they have saved some pride for themselves just in last week.

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

khalil is gone thank god, i still remember his grand statements before the tour :hehe:
now lets hope the other menace to the team hafeez is dropped and yasir tried
akmal is NOT an opener, sooner they realize that the better
malik should go back to being one down like he was before

either ways, get ready for a thrashing!

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

^^ khalil seems to be a decent and talented bowler,, at elast better line and length than our bloody Shoaib Actor.

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

Are you kidding me?? This guy bowls at full pitched on leg stump at a speed of 120 Km/h and consistently gets hammered for an excess of 8 an over. I think Akhtar could bowl better with one leg.

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

^ yeah he may get polished into a good seamer, but at the moment needs to work very hard

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

thrashing for what??? its a shame seeing u guyz not being supportive when pak in last 3 games has beenvery competitive. it really is a shame

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

**
khalil is not an international bowler rite now. is talented but needs to work very hard on his line and especially length. also should learn to be an intelligent bowler. has a good action though and might develop in a year or two. rite now thou needs to learn from this wonderful experience but shd go back to domestic cricket for now**

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

** my team for 2nd game

hafeez
kamran
shoaib
yousuf
inzamam
yasir
abdul
azhar
shahid
rana
rao

salman shd get the boot because of his inability to play the middle n leg side ball. + hafeez seems to be in gd touch although he cant make a big score, he styll looks in better touch then salman. same goes for yasir.**

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

^ why have you dropped Afridi?

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

^^ Shahid= Afridi… uncle its time to … :rotfl:

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

:blush: :blush:

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

Salman Butt, Kamran Akmal, Yousuf Youhana, Abdul Razzaq owe Pakistan in this match to score some decent amout of runs…the openers should take the shine off the ball while still cracking Australian pacers… :slight_smile:

PS: Shahid Afridi(Now the 2 world record holder: 6s and the fastest 100) should hit 6s as many as possible…should try to stay at the crease for at least 8 overs…even he has to go out of his mind…lol

PS2: Just hit hard and harder even if you have to go beyond your imaginations… :jhanda:

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

only if people like you stop demanding “hit the ball hard”, “dot balls don’t win matches” etc :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

There will be two key moments in tomrorows match.

  • When Australia bats, how well our opening bowlers manage to contain them or nick a wicket or two. We did that in prev match and even after Symonds innings we had them under control.

  • When Pakistani openers face up australian first three bowlers. Their fourth and fifth and sixth bowlers are crap but it was always hard to win a match when you are 27-4. A decent start and we will be good.

If Pakistan manages to wrest the initiative in these key moments, rest assured we will win this match :insha: Pakistan did well in the first moment but lost the second one and hence the match.

Re: VB series - Final 2 Pakistan-Australia - Sydney

first 3 wickets should be able to bring at least 90+ runs within 25 overs!
