Australia A in Pakistan

[aussie1st]

YAY!!! Dizzy!!!

Called in for injured Harwood. Good to see Dizzy in there. Now he can show the selectors why he should play in the next test series to replace McGrath's spot. ( though I bet they'll choose Hilfenhaus)

Injuries all over the place. Good to see Dizzy get a call up, does show he is far down the pecking order but if he has a real good series who knows.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Whose showing it? Biggest question.

No one. They're never shown on TV. Well only sometimes, but I doubt this'll be shown.

 

[Hooper]

Maybe in Pakistan. Defiantly not Aus.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Seen some of the players in there but the rest I wouldn't have a clue what they do.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Australia A scored 232-7 in their 50 overs. Pakistan A had a great start, since Ronchi as opener was gone for a duck. From the scorecard I can tell Pakistan A let Australia A score too many runs in the last overs. There were three run outs in the innings and the funny thing is that Taufeeq Umar got two wickets.

Scorecard: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/pakistan/engine/current/match/304066.html

This is the team of Pakistan A. Most of the players listed here I expected to play:

Faisal Iqbal, Taufeeq Umar, Khalid Latif, Yasir Hameed, Naved Latif, Sohail Tanvir, Sarfraz Ahmed, Tahir Khan, Mohammad Irshad, Najaf Shah, Mansoor Amjad

 

[Hooper]

Thats a shame Ronchi gone for a duck No Afridi?

WHAT THE HELL? WHERE IS ROGERS? :o Hopes played well so far.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Afridi doesn't play for Pakistan A. He will with Pakistan to the Twenty20 World Cup.

Recent news is that Pakistan A beat Australia A with 8 wickets (!).

Australia A 232/7
Pakistan A 233/2

Yasir Hameed scored 108 runs and Faisal Iqbal 76 runs.

Scorecard has now been updated with Pakistani innings. Third wicket partnership was 165 runs.

That teaches Australia for taking Noffke over Dizzy.

Dizzy would have gotten that breakthrough you know! And kept it tighter!

I hope they bring him in. The team could do with his experience.

And this needs moving to Current Tours.

 

[kookaburra69]

Geez easy win to the Pakistanis,Hopes and Voges played well for the Australians but Hammeds innings was to good and would have been great to wotch

 

[aussie1st]

Our bowling attack doesn't look all that threatening. Bollinger can get a few wickets but isn't one to take a handful.
Never knew Umar bowled but he did really well, no real big score from our batters which was disappointing. On Rogers he isn't really a OD player.

 

[cricketmad09]

This is what our line up should be


Ronchi
Jaques
Rogers
Voges
Hussey
White
Hopes
Butterworth
Noffke
Dizzy
Bollinger


The only reason Rogers should be in the team is because there are no other batsmen.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Pakistan A wins the ODI series. So much for the great names of Australia. I hope Pakistan A doesn't rest some players, because I want to see a whitewash now.

Pakistan 271 for 3 (Taufeeq 113*, Faisal 56) beat Australia 267 for 9 (Hussey 82, Jaques 72, Tanvir 4-47) by seven wickets

Taufeeq guides Pakistan to series win

[irottev]

Hopes shouldn't really be used as a front liner maybe.

I don't think the captain managed the bowlers very well. Dizzy was a bit expensive really. Though, at least he got a wicket which Noffke hasn't managed from 2 matches yet.

Pakistan have some good players by the looks.

 

[aussie1st]

Umar has been awesome this series, first wickets now a 100. I've always rated him and was lost why he was dropped.

Good to see Cullen have a decent spell he should have been bowled a bit more especially when you see Voges and White being used.
