Yuvraj scores 50 and then gets out for 52. He is not doing good enough that too against a team like UP.

P Kumar (3 wkts) got him. UP is a good team and any batsman can get out to anyone anytime. It is to be seen if Yuvraj played fluently or struggled.

I am not sure if it is pitch or not. First one looked suspicious though but then the team batting seconds is 120 odd for one wicket.

is it a T20 match?ha ha ha Looks like all these guys want only one contract in IPL which they can't earn playing 20 years of Ranji.
Australia has played 22 matches and won 15 and lost 6 with a win percentage of 71% better than their overall win record of 65%. So we cannot count them out in World Cup

And by the way you cannot write S and L together it goes for auto approval. Separate with a dot like S.L

I feel, that is mainly because of beating Pak 5-0 at home then Ireland 1-0. May be i am mistaken.
Re: Re: Australia ODI record this year.
by Sports Lover on Nov 01, 2010 03:12 PM
Yes, Wi, pak, ireland etc. That is 10 matches won and then they lost 2 series against India (0-1) and England (2-3). They also won 3 matches against NZ and lost 2.

We can't say that about Pakistan. Long way to go...one man effort comes only once in a way..from where are they going to get good top five batsmen?
Re: Re: So now it is confirm for fans
by makdi man on Nov 01, 2010 02:46 PM
That is fans perspective to jump to conclusion. ;-) My pick are India, SriLanka, South Africa or England.

Don't forget Australia are still number one ONE DAY side in the world and by a long margin.

Currently they are 1 man army mostly. If Watson loses form then they are in big trouble.

Thing is you really cannot pick any. The team who is consistent will win. But I don't think there is any consistent team around these days so cannot really guess.

Regarding No.1 That is their bank balance which is shrinking slowly but surely.
I agree with you that this innings was ONE OF the best ODI innings ever played. I watched it live. I may not say one of the top 5 though. But winning single handedly from a hopeless situation was just amazing. I have seen razzak do it before so I thought as long as razzak was there Pakistan had a chance and he did it in style. Razzak's best for sure. Perhaps even a best by a Pakistani batsman.

Coming from a hopeless situation it has to be one among the top five.Such innings are very few to recall,one surely Kapil.
Re: Re: @cricketfan
by makdi man on Nov 01, 2010 02:28 PM
There have been lots of unbelievable innings in the past but people only remember the match winning results. Though this may be one of top 5 innings in my memory too.
Re: Re: Re: @cricketfan
by cricketfan on Nov 01, 2010 02:31 PM
yes,match winning from a hopeless situation,and you should have seen the confidence with which he was playing despite only one or two wickets left.
Re: Re: @cricketfan
by Sports Lover on Nov 01, 2010 02:26 PM
That is true but selecting top 5 innings from 3063 one dayers that have been played so far is a difficult task. So that is why I didn't say top 5.
Re: Re: Re: @cricketfan
by makdi man on Nov 01, 2010 02:30 PM
Azhar Mehmood was one such dangerous player like Razzaq capable of turning the matches or at least threaten the opposition from hopless situation.
Re: Re: Re: Re: @cricketfan
by cricketfan on Nov 01, 2010 02:32 PM
very true and Pakistan had a very strong lower order when both Azhar & Razzaq were playing together.
everybody has agreed to my earlier. its proof that the innings was out of the world.
1 thing i want my paki frnds shud understand whn they do gud we apperciate them too. so they shud also do away wid this blind hate and make some effort us.
not many big brothers take chuglis lying down....may b v r lil soft. but jus imagin china or israel in our position.
People who didn't watch the match,they really missed one among the best knocks in ODI history by Razzaq.If we are to pick top five ODI knocks,this has to be on among them. Great innings and all clean hits..OMG ten huge sixes in just a century..I saw it and it was worth the time spent.

by Krishan Gupta on Nov 01, 2010 01:37 PM
I think you have watched only this match and that is the reason why you consider it one among best 5. The other reason could be that you are mslm. There have been enough of such knocks.
It was a very good knock under pressure. That's it.

1. By Asif Mujtaba aganst Aus 2. Chanderpaul agnst SL (in which he scored the reqd. 10 runs in last 2 balls) 3. A De' Silva in 96 SF agnst India 4. Inzy's Innings in 92 SF agnst NZ 5.Lara's innigs of 153 aganst Pak @ Sharjah 6. Richards 189 agnst England
