0-4

And thus lost Pakistan 0-4. One match away from a whitewash.

With this scoreline they aint worthy anymore to stake claim for IPL slots. Besides PCB has now revoked NoCs thus making them ineligible to play. 

Much ado about nothing. 

Even Bangladesh managed to win in West Indies, this Pakistan team has not won a single game on the tour.  What awaits them when they return back is every one 's guess -- change in captaincy, match fixing allegations, Dasti shouts on Butt, former players shouts and further mess. 

Would be interesting watch to match.  Ekta Kapoor should sponsor the Pakistan Cricket ke ghar ghar ki Kahani.

4/39

4/39 indicates that they cannot bowl, they cannot field and they cannot bat. They drop catches, they leak runs and they get out cheap.  And to a debutant called Harris. The team which has MoYo, YoYo, Afridi Boomer, Butt, Bugsy Akamal, Backfake Akamal and Fawad ke Dil ka Alam in addition to Khurram Khan (is he ?) has dipped to low standards on the field.

Many of this players have 5000+ runs in ODIs and are wanting to play in IPL. So on basis of performance do they qualify to be bid for an IPL slot. And the spinach guy is not even playing. 4/39 is hilarious score and even Bangladesh or Afghanistan would score better than this lads.

Australia 5 Pak 0

Can Pakistanis show some fight tomorrow in the ODI series against Aus ?

Will Afridi leave behind the anger of IPL snub and get going in the ODIs ? Although he is a man without brains, he would pretend to have it for few moments before he would lose it again to get out in idiotic way.

And would Yusuf still blame the loss to the T20 cricket ?

5-0 series win for Aussies up in the corner.

Aussie 100 this summer

This Australian summer is like Indian summer of England 2007 until Oval Test when Anil scored his maiden hundred.

No Australian has scored a 100 this summer.

Shane Watson is now on 90. Gayle would find new word  to describe the lad.

This is proving out to be end of summer for Pakistan even before it started for them. Just like 2003-04 Gabba for India.  2/262 on day 1 and  then all out for 326 on day 2. Zaheer.

Well this is Pakistan and they are T20 champs.  Test Cricket isnt their forte.

0 wkts in 2 sessions.

Not good omens for Pakistan.

Actually this sets stage for lop sided contest unless drug addict or Aamer Khan (3 Idiots hang over) pluck some wikats out of blue or green.

Watson goes stronger.

More strong Kat and kid go, more the chances for Hughsy go dim.

Watta shame that Waatto backs his antics with the runs and that gives him a license to do what he did in Perth with Gayle.

Negative Australia.

Aussies seem to be so shell shocked out of the Perth criticism from all round that they have gone to a shell in the first session of Boxing day test in MCG vs Pakistan.

0/73 in 29 overs is typically unAustralian and reminiscent of old days when being defensive was first approach.

Australia are new Sri Lanka and India are new Australia in Tests.

Run rate of 2.51 is pathetic.

Usual Drama

Resign....

Drama............

Retract..............

Story of Pakistan cricket forever.

Nothing new. Nothing unexpected.

One more series loss and this drama would repeat. As early as April 10. Or may be Australia series where they would lose Tests 0-3 and ODIs 1-4 or 0-5.

BTW, they havent beaten Australia in Tests for 15 years now.....

Not quite Imran's Pakistan : Imran the cricketer

Somebody said when Imran Khan retired, the soul of Pakistan cricket retired. Later on, the team was marred with ego fights, player scuffles, persona over team issues. Miandad got the license to stamp his authority which he couldnt do after Imran cos Wasim Akram became the captain and then a stupid game of chipping and chopping captains began.

Michael Jeh compares the series against Australia in desert with the teams of yore which Imran Khan led here.

Dont loose it Aussies!!

Aussies struggling at 9/107 at only T20I against Pakistan should ensure that they dont lose it. Go bonkers, bowl yorkers, bowl bouncers, but win the game for fuck sake. For my pride's sake.

Alam Speak

Australia never dominated us, really, and we should have won the series 3-2 rather than the other way round," Alam said. "Losing the third match was the turning point. It was a nightmare. I never thought that we will lose that one and it will remain in my mind for a long, long time. Had we won that match we would have won 4-1."

Alam speaks his mind.

Australia lead 2-1

Strong team lost yet again. 1-2 now for them. The opposite skipper did them in first with batting and then with bowling. Yes he is a spinner too and the strong team is supposed to be @2 in playing spin. Yet they lost. Big words came falling. Return to normalcy follows.

Ajmal has a suspect action

Qasab's cousin Mohd Ajmal Saeed has been reported for illegal action and thats a respite for Aussies as one spinner less will be needed to counter. Things going omnious for Aussies as they are on track for 4-1 win. And there can be no conspiracy here and no whinning on India and BCCI here. The reporting umpires were Pakistanti themselves.

Aha the whinning has begun :

Ajmal has played against four countries and nobody raised any finger on his action and suddenly this decision comes," Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam told AFP. "I think they [ICC] are lacking consistency in this process. He bowled exceptionally well and suddenly they decided that he has a problem with his action."

It wonders me why do Pakistani cricket bosses do always have to sulk and whine? May be Q has some answers.

"Strong Team" loses

Roy does it. A new look Roy does it. Free of clutches of past baggage and tormenting times Symo does it and helps Australia levels the series against a supposedly strong team of subcontinent. Strong teams consistenly make large scores and if they make small scores they have the firepower to defend it. 1-1 now and 4-1 to go with Australia. Umar Gul, Shoaib Akhtar, Kasab;s cousin Ajmal and Pathan Afridi couldnt repeat the 1st ODI heroics to dislodge the Aussie rail this time. Good show Aussiess!!!

An embattled Aussie fan writes in desparation

A note to Timmy (not Dimmy) and Punter :

Guys, please get in Shane Warne off IPL to bowl on to your ODI team in desert. Warnie is a legend even in the age of 40 and post him there is just no body in the Aussie la la land who could spin the ball half way a bit as he did. Watching him in IPL is pure delight and a walk back to those golden years of Aussie dominance when we used to get up early in morning to see him and Pidge bowl.

You guys need him. Not as a team member then as a supportive coach for bowling. He would give a lesson or two to the likes of Marsh, Roy, Clarke, Hussey and other who are just embarrasing the Australian name tag in the ODI arena. Guys let me not remind you that you are the world champions and you lost to a team that hasnt played any serious cricket in ages. You are loosing to a team which is full of rookies and attitude kings, guys who consider themselves over the team and just need some bit of pressure to crack out. Get that pressure in guys.

I am embarrased and fuckingly disappointed to see you give away victories to undeserving teams on a platter. Dont do that. You have only one supporter left in the entire world. And thats me. Keep pride of my predictions 4-1 victory for you guys in this desert safari.

Cheers,

A embattled Aussie fan

Orgasmic hell Rameez!!

Oh did i just hear Rameez Raja say that Pakistan vs Australia contest is the most intense and intriguing in the international cricket. is he joking? Alright pakistan are on top somehow for the moment. But then lets not forget that pak are 1/6 in 4 overs. And it cud soon be 5/20 or 9/80. But saying Pakistan is most intense team in world is laughable. Scoffable. Goaning. Orgasmic insane. Booooooooooooooooh

Oh Aussies, stop playing for a while.

Damn you Aussies. 119/8 in 29. And that to Pakistan. The new minnows. There is a Ajmal in the team who reminds me of Kasab, the 11/26 perpator. I have no words for this scoreline. Abandon the series, go back to Australia, cite security issues, stop this non-sense. Stop playing for a while Aussies. Spinners are achiles hiilll. You guys are making the likes of Johan Botha, Shahid Afridi, Ajmal, Van de Merve look like Warne and Kumble. And Afridi gets 6-for. Cmon man he is a part timer and he is no regular bowler. 6 wkts for him. Ridiculous.

Is match being fixed to give some confidence to belaugered team of Pakistan. Gone are the days when you had McGrath or Warne or Lee to have responded in similar fashion and have betted to win. Damn damn damn. I rest my case. Geoff Boycott and Rameez Poor Raza are laughing.

Turnaround for Roy and Chance for Australia to get back to winning ways.

6 years back in world cup match against Pakistan, Australia were tottering. It was the opening game for the world champions and it was against a team they had thumped in their last world cup game : 1999 WC final. One man turned it on for Australia in the game and his life on the highest stage changed. He hit a career turning century against a team that had Akhtar, Akram and Younis. He was Roy, Andrew Symonds. Pakiatan never recovered from that onslaught. They were kicked out in 1st round of the world cup and Australia won the world cup.

Tomorrow Pakistan takes on Australia in the series of 5 ODIs and 1/2 T20Is in Dubai sports city. Pakistan is coming out of a rare cricketing season and Australia is coming from a wrecthed ODI form where they have lost 2 series to SA and a drawn series against NZ. Aus have rested Ponting, Mitch and Siddle. No Lee as well. The bowling attack looks thin. Bracken is no longer a force he was. And now the onus for batting would depend on Clarke along with David Hussey. Return of Shaun Marsh would be morale booster for Australia..

But Pakistan isnt the team it was in 2005 and 2006. Lot of rookies plus menace called Shoaib Akhtar. Another series, another set of tantrums (fitness and attitude) from Akhtar. Cant they just get rid of this guy ?

This would be the last chance for this 2 teams to choose players for T20 world cup in England and since this teams dont play in IPL, the players who get a headstart here would stand a good chance to play in World T20.

Scoreline expected: 4-1 Australia. Somehow my predictions on Australia do come true, so this time would be no different. At least Achettup thinks so.
