The result of Pakistan Vs Australia is exactly what I was expecting, but it does not mean that I was not hopping well for my team. I was supporting Pakistan as always but still somewhere deep down in my heart there was a doubt.
Afridi says that the experiments didn’t work against the big one. I do not understand why he made Hafeez to bowl all 4 overs when Hafeez was nervous to bowl against Watson, at that time Afridi should have bring Abdul Razaq to attack. In bowling time it was good to see that Afridi’s ball was pitching in right area and how can I forget the last over in which Pakistan made record by taking five wickets on giving no run. Kamran Akmal Dropped Watson and Salman Butt Dropped David Hussy and both these men took team Australia to a hard total.
I personally believe that the drop catch by Salman Butt is the one big reason for us to loose, just think for a second if David Hussy was caught at that time then there was less chances of four sixes in coming over.
I am very disappointed at the batting performance of the team 8 out of 10 wickets were catch outs which surly indicates that the guys were in hurry to finish off. The score was not as hard as the panic batsmen made it, There was no need for Kamran Akmal to play that shot on the 2ns ball of the innings, Butt should have pulled that ball without using foot work, well this post will become very long if I start to pick each and every point that lead to the defeat.
Afridi played well but I think he should have patience at that time because at that time his presence on the wicket could have made a big difference any how it was good to see that Afridi is getting his form back. Anyhow I believe that the whole team must focus on being calm when chasing such total the target was achievable and at many moments it was looking as if Pakistan going to make it but I would say again panic thing came into the scene.
I have a suggestion to make Coach and captain should follow the happenings in the ground while the game on and change the game plan accordingly rather than following the work done on the note pads, and pre match planning as I always say Cricket is the game of ground and it want decision according to the moment.
well in the end i am leaving you with the video of the best final over i have ever seen:
