[ICC Cricket World Cup 2003] - Australia vs Pakistan

[Groucho]

Shoaib looks stuffed in his second spell! Barely getting to 140kph. Very hittable at that pace.

 

[noodle]

146 for 5. ouch.

OK harvey it's your turn.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Very disappointing dismissal for Ricky Ponting.

We needed him to stick around til at least the 40th over.

I can't see Symonds, Freak and Hogg being able to bat the last 20 overs out.

Put the jinx on! Ponting out, caught at slip off Shoaib,probably would've been a wide if he'd let it go!

dont you feel like the nob......


(2 hours a go...i felt the same way;-)...and although it will take more than 1 innings to persuade me about him...im bloody happy with him at the moment)

Symonds is shutting a few people up!

Getting runs when he needed to.

Just reached his 1/2 century.

Andrew Symonds, your time is here ......

Well great to see he has just reached 50 - he needs to go on though - and be there at the end. Hoggy is looking ok - we need at least 220 - if we can keep wickets intact it should be more.

 

[Kenny_01]

Go Symonds, Go!!

 

[Damp Squarie]

Yep good on Symonds... he shut me up. He was a tad nervous when he started but fullcredit.......great knock under the circ's

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Jesus Christ, i think they best test Andrew Symonds after the match.

Talk about a transformation.

Another 'Fine Cotton' affair?

 

[crudbucket]

Didn't need that !!! ****, now the freak is up to bat ....

 

[Kenny_01]

****!

 

[crudbucket]

Symonds into the '90's ...

The 2 most heavily critisised all-rounders of recent times batting together .... hmmmmm ...who would've thunk it ?

 

[Kenny_01]

100! Go Symonds!

 

[crudbucket]

100

 

[topdon]

100 for Symonds!! Well done Qlder!!!

6th One-Day 100 at the Wanderers Ground!!

Good stuff!!

 

[Richmondfan#1]

Symonds on 112 and Harvey on 11.

Go boys! Good on ya Symo, proved many wrong, including myself.

 

[TheRealBuzz]

You could knock me over with a feather.

All that energy I spent bagging Symonds over the summer now lays in ruin.

Did you see his face when he brought up the 100? He looked even more surprised than me.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Freak is playing brilliantly right now.

Meanwhile, the Paki's are imploding, as per usual.

 

[topdon]

This is a bloody ripper of an innings!!!

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Waqar's second beamer was nasty.

I wouldn't have wanted to have been in his shoes when Symonds started to walk towards him.

Entertaining stuff.

 

[TheRealBuzz]

Great leadership from Younis. No wonder Pakistan fall apart so easily.

What a great start to the World Cup. Let's hope the bowlers keep it going.

 

[Kenny_01]

**** yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Catman,I couldn't resist highlighting this bit.

Personally I never doubted Symonds ability or Hogg's a few weeks ago.Any other hacks we can bag into form ?

 

[evade28]

couldnt resist highlighting all this! HAHA

Is it wise to put someone in such bad form as Symonds in? Would Harvey be a better option batting at 6?

I Have no idea why both Symonds and Harvey were selected in the 15 man squad.

I can't see Symonds, Freak and Hogg being able to bat the last 20 overs out.
