Reigning champs Australia beat Pakistan by 41 runs in nail-biter at Taunton
Australia beat Pakistan by 41 runs in a nail-biting finish at Taunton on Wednesday in the 17th match of the World Cup.
David Warner, who hit his first international century following his return from a ball-tampering ban, was named Man of the Match.
Pakistan won the toss in overcast conditions and put Australia in to bat first. The defending champions were dismissed for 307 in 39 overs.
They bowled Pakistan out for 266 in 45.4 overs. The green shirts were left floundering after the rapid fall of bottom-order wickets.
Left-arm quick Mohammad Amir took a career-best five for 30 in the Australia innings, becoming the highest wicket-taker in the tournament so far.
Australia innings
Australia looked set for a huge total in Taunton while David Warner and captain Aaron Finch (82) shared a first-wicket stand of 146 ─ the highest partnership for any wicket at this World Cup to date.
But Amir dragged Pakistan back into the game, returning figures that surpassed his previous best of 4-28 and are the best in the World Cup so far.
Warner posted his first international century since returning from a 12-month ban before Pakistan rallied to dismiss the defending World Cup champions for 307.
"I think I left a few (runs) out there," Warner admitted during the break between innings. "The second spell from Mohammad Amir was fantastic. We have got to come out and bowl Test match line and length and be very disciplined."
Both Warner and Steve Smith ─ also returning from a year-long ban for ball-tampering ─ had been jeered by fans in previous games but Pakistani fans largely heeded an appeal from captain Sarfaraz Ahmed not to boo the pair, preferring to roar chants of "Amir!, Amir!".
Amir was on target right from the start with a probing maiden ─ one of two in an initial four-over spell that cost a mere 11 runs.
The left-armer's outstanding attack saw him pick up a career-best five-wicket haul in ODIs. According to cricket statistician Mazher Arshad, Amir's 5-30 are the best bowling figures for Pakistan in a World Cup match against a Test playing team.
According to the Pakistan Cricket Board, his performance has made him the leading wicket-taker in the tournament.
The Aussies maintained a steady strike rate throughout their innings despite the quick fall of middle-order wickets following the termination of the opening partnership. Finch tried to smash Amir for a boundary but got caught out by Mohammad Hafeez in the 23rd over with 82 runs.
He was succeeded by Smith. Asif Ali caught Smith out for 10 off a delivery from Hafeez in the 29th over. His successor, Glenn Maxwell, was bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi, who then went onto take Warner's all-important wicket in the 38th over after a century came up for the Aussie batsman.
Warner edged between wicketkeeper and slip for a boundary and took off to punch the air to celebrate his first century since returning to Australia's team following his ban. He stroked 11 boundaries and a six from 102 balls to reach his hundred in the 36th over of the match.
Warner was booed by the crowd in each of his previous appearances at the World Cup, and was under pressure despite scoring runs because his unbeaten 89 against Afghanistan, his three against West Indies and his 56 against India all came at an uncharacteristically slow run-rate.
He was only jeered by the heavily pro-Pakistan crowd when he was dropped cold by Asif at third man on 104, but that was more likely frustration at yet another fielding error by the green shirts.
Amir struck again in the 43rd over, getting Usman Khawaja to send a drive straight to Wahab Riaz on the circle at mid-off. Two overs later, he had Shaun Marsh caught at long off by Shoaib Malik.
Shortly after, Sarfaraz caught Coulter-Nile off a delivery from Wahab in the 47th over. In the next over, Hassan Ali got PJ Cummins out. Hassan's short ball caught Cummins by surprise. The pace was too much, and it was an easy catch for Sarfaraz.
Amir took two more wickets in the 49th over ─ Alex Carey on LBW and Mitchell Starc caught by Shoaib ─ taking his total in the match to 5 scalps ─ a career-best, and the highest so far in the tournament.
Pakistan innings
Pakistan, who have been trying to shake their 'unpredictable' tag, kept things interesting for spectators until the very end.
The early loss of top order wickets meant the innings got off to a shaky start.
Opener Fakhar Zaman was sent back to the pavilion in the second over without any runs after he drove a ball straight into Kane Richardson's hands at third man.
His partner, Imamul Haq (53), struck up a partnership with Babar Azam (30) that saw the green shirts' run rate inching upwards, but it didn't last long. Azam was sent packing in the 11th over by Richardson who caught him at fine leg. Azam's dimissal was the 50th ODI wicket for Coulter-Nile.
Imam then partnered with Mohammad Hafeez (46) and settled into a comfortable rhythm that yielded a solid 80 runs. But Pat Cummins put an end to it when he got Imam to smack one down leg side right into Alex Carey's waiting hands in the 26th over.
It looked like the game was all but over as, one over later, Hafeez was caught out by Mitchell Starc. Shoaib Malik, who came out to bat after him, was caught out after facing just two deliveries. Asif Ali managed to hang on for a couple of overs before being dismissed for five runs in the 30th over.
But then skipper Sarfaraz came out onto the field and was able to provide some much-needed stability for his side. His partnership with Hasan Ali (32) was ended by Usman Khawaja in the 34th over, who got Hasan to send Richardson a catch at fine leg.
And then Wahab Riaz got Pakistan back in the game. He sent the ball flying every which way on the pitch. The flurry of boundaries and almost-boundaries ─ apart from giving him a solid 45 runs off 39 deliveries ─ turned the heat back onto the defending champs, who started looking a bit worried as the stands cheered each run the men in green posted on the scoreboard.
He was taken out by Starc in the 45th over. Finch called for the DRS at the last moment, and a review showed hint of contact between Wahab's bat and the ball as it made its way into Carey's hands.
Disappointingly, Amir was bowled out in the same over. And just like that, Pakistan's hopes for a win started fading.
Nine wickets down, with 42 runs needed from 30 balls, and Shaheen Shah Afridi facing three dot balls, Sarfraz ─ and Pakistani cricket fans ─ were desperate. It ended with the skipper getting stumped by Maxwell.
Pakistan wore black armbands as a mark of respect for former international cricketer Akhtar Sarfaraz and umpire Riazuddin, both of whom passed away recently.
What do our readers think?
Dawn.com readers had little faith in the green shirts with just 26.1% voting for Pakistan when asked who would win today's match.
54.95% or over 7,100 readers believe Australia will win, while 18.95% thought rain would win.
During the Australia innings, more readers thought rain had a better chance of winning the match than Pakistan.
Captain's comments
Skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed decided to give his bowlers first use of a green-tinged pitch under overcast skies.
Australia were sent in to bat first by Pakistan.
Commenting on his choice to bowl first, Sarfaraz said: "A bit of grass, looks like a green pitch, with a bit of moisture."
"Unfortunately we didn't play the last game, but worked hard with lots of practice," he added.
Aaron Finch, the Australian captain said that he would have chosen to bowl first too.
Reigning champions Australia are looking to bounce back from a 36-run loss to India ─ their first defeat of this World Cup ─ with Pakistan keen to build on a win over England after their last group match, against Sri Lanka, was washed out.
Five-time champions Australia swept Pakistan 5-0 in an ODI in March, and have won 14 of the last 15 head-to-head encounters. But they are coming off their loss to India, and the absence of injured allrounder Marcus Stoinis will enforce a lineup change.
Pakistan is coming off a confidence-boosting win over top-ranked England, which ended a run of 11 ODI losses.

Bold call leaving out Shadab! I assume Azhar Ali gave them some tips since Taunton was his home ground for the county team. Hope this works!
Congratulations in adance --- Australian Cricket team !
mai kahta hu lagbhag 60 ran se Australia jitaga
Support to Pakistan. Good luck from India:)
Well fought Greens, Yellow the winner.
I think he should have chosen to bat.
Look at this green top! Pakistan will struggle on it. The captain was right about doffetent
Look at this green top. Pakistan will struggle on it. The captain was right, different pitches for different teams.
wrong decision to bowl first. Pak should have bat first, and get good score.
Pakistan will be thrashed badly by the kangaroos if rain doesn't come into play.
Good Luck team yellow hope you make us indians proud!
Hitting started 360 + on card..... Wait and watch
Including Shaheen Shah Afridi in place of Shadab Khan looks like a bad decision. Prayers and best wishes for Sarfaraz Ahmed's Pakistan team.
Australia 350 -- Pakistan All Out 220!!
Best of luck Pakistan, you will win today
Because of the overcast its a good decision to chose bowl first. If there is no rain then pakistan will be in huge trouble.
Australian already taken Shaheen Afridi on remand let see who is next..
I believe pakistan should have selected to bat first, which has some advantages.
Blunder to include SSA in such a crucial match. Let's hope someone covers this big mistake.
Now warner got amir remand... Let see who is nexr
why shaheen noob was included in todays fixture against strongest opponet he is weak and give away 24 runs in just 2 overs.
I would wish winner be Indian subcontinent. Not Australia at all.
It is a hight of incompetency on part of selectors that they played Shaheen Shah Afridi instead of Shadab. Shaheen has conceded 10.20 runs per over in his last 12 matches and his bowling pace has dropped to 130-134.
@Raman , Neighbors comes first Raman saheb. Why are you supporting a nation far away instead of a neighbor which was part of India sometime back. You are biased and a hater for no reasons.
All the best team Australia...see you in the finals!!!
Now hasan ali on remand... Let see who is next...
It is indeed adventurous to ask Aussies to bat first. The green top in England stays for only 10 overs. They would have 40 more overs to go... Further, if the rain disrupts the play, the team batting second is at disadvantage. Hope, nothing like this happen and Pak wins... Payers from India
Auss wud score 400 today
Bad luck Pakistan. Aussies will win.
Right decision looking to clouds and Mr D/L chances r there
@R,H.SULTAN, "Why are you supporting a nation far away instead of a neighbor which was part of India sometime back." He's not supporting anyone, he wants to watch Pakistan lose. Good for him to watch the same movie again and again just because the villain loses at the end. His money, his time. Why do you worry?
Australia is good team but unfortunately no match to Pakistan. Even India was able to defeat Australia, so they do not stand any chance against Pakistan. Pakistan will win by 4 wickets
Good Luck to both the teams, May the better one wins instead of weather.
May rain save pakistan!!
Australia has started well.
@R,H.SULTAN, I totally agree with you Sultan Saheb.
Hoping for Pak win. Good luck
Come on AUSTRALIA!!!!
pakistan has all the potential to win this game but they have to belief themslves
figth till the last ball @neighbours
Best wishes to Pakistan! The world cup belongs to South Asia!
mauka mauka
Pray for rain.
Excellent decision by captain for bowling...if rain comes , then sure advantage pak if not anyway they have to fight and win
Looks like business as usual for the boys after the slight aberration against england.
Shaheen 4 overs 35/0. He succeeded in u19 because he was not. Plus media hype
bring some pressure to the yellows then they will be out of the game......good team selection....good dicision to ball first.....now put some pressure....and stop them upto 250 .....the game will be yours....best of luck from india
I think someone is tampering with the ball.
Bad bowling by Pakistan bowlers. Captain is repeatedly asking not to bowl short deliveries but bowlers are not able to control. I really want our neighbours to win.
Australia will win today's match against Pakistan.......
Wow so many cricket pundits in comment section.
Only rain can scavenge 1 point for Pakistan today..,..
Australia is going to score 332/4
Good luck Pakistan. Australia are good hitters. With such bowling and fielding by Pakistan, Australia may go beyond 400. Take care.
I predict, Pak will win by 9 wickets irrespective of the target.
I have to say Ramiz Raja is very annoying. His commentary is really really pathetic, every time he comes in I put it on mute. Please go away Ramiz!!!
A great challenge for the greenshirts to win today's round robin league match against Australia, the current world champions, in order to consolidate their position to qualify for the crucial semi-final slot in the on-going 2019 World Cup Cricket Tourney in England and Wales.
Terrible bowling by Pakistan
Very poor bowling
Bro aus definitely get 400
Aussies 107/0 in 17 Overs. Difficult time for Pakistan.
Pakistan will learn today what it is to play in the big league. Australia will thrash Pakistan.
Australians are playing like wounded tigers, wanting to prove a point. Pakistan - as usual have their feet in the air after one fluke win against England.
Self-proclaimed best bowling attack getting thrased.
Aus: 107/0 from 17 overs, Run Rate: 6.29
Congratulations Australia in advance. Pakistani fans, pray for rains to come.
They predicted 90% rains on Wednesday. Yes, it's raining boundaries at the moment against Universe's best bowling line up.
Australia has won the game pakistan cannt catch up with them now
Where is the genius who the other day against India, called this Australian side a mediocre team?
This is not a good situation for Pakistan. Warner and Finch both still batting and Pakistan's bowling and fielding not up to the mark. If this continues Australia will easily score north of 350 runs. Pakistan needs to get 2 to 3 quick wickets.
Sorry but pakistani team on remand... They are going to get 380 +
pray that rain comes and gives pakistan one point
Good bowling efforts with pathathic fielding,asif dropped easy catch to ruin bowler efforts.
when it come to australia, whole india pak afgan bangla are together, jeetega to ham mein se koi, par australia kabhi nahi..
Australia will score 350+ giving Pakistan to break World record breaking opportunity.
Inshallah boys played well
Good luck to team Pakistan from India. May the best team win
Very poor fielding by Pakistan.
when it comes to australia whole asia, whole bangla, india, afgan india iran , all are one team..
when it comes to australia whole asia, whole bangla, india, afgan india iran , all are one team..when it comes to australia whole asia, whole bangla, india, afgan india iran , all are one team..
At this stage friends can bet among themselves if Pakistan will lose less than 100 runs or more.
@ABCD, all indians hate proudy-australians, and ofcourse they play well and lacks the charactor too, so they must lose to any asian team by any means now... .
Aussies will be 350+
Brothers for heavens sake, please do not loose too badly.
@Ravi_India, Mr Ravi has spoken, so hold your horses Pakistani fans, disaster gonna strike in this match. But that may be a good news because that would mean, Pakistan is definitely winning next match which is against India.
If Pak loses this what will happen to the momentum gained by one win..does it mean a new momentum for losing?
Look like Australia going to a big... any way Best of luck Pakistan...
Australia is going well..... 136/0 in 21 overs.
Australia has ordinary side.. India has proven
Amir strikes. Aussies first wicket down. Warner gone. 146/1 (22.1)
Frantically praying for rains.
Games going in favour of aussie...they might win with margin of min 30 or higher
@Ravi_India, Pakistan will lose this match as well as their precious little confidence they have as a team.
Pakistani friends don't surrender to Aussies. Pray for your team guys.
@rajeev, All Indians hate Australians? Did you conduct a survey? Of course, you hate.
Australia will win the match with over 100 runs.
Australia will make over 350 runs, no chance for Pakistan today.
Pakistan body language shows they are not interested to win the match
Who could imagine these days when on a green top wicket and under the overcast conditions a Pakistani bowling attack would be so week that no Pakistani bowler would be able to swing or keep the length except only Amir who was not even in the initial squad. Overs of Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah could have been bowled by any random fan in the stands and it wouldn't have make a big loss.
There's no backdoor left to reach semi finals. Australian batting and our missed catches and wayward bowling has made sure of that.
Now question is can they score 400?
Only very strong batting side should choose to field first. Pakistan is not.
@R,H.SULTAN, Because we have been backstabbed many times from this neighbor.
Shattered the opening partnership.....when,after enough damage
Aus 396/7 Pak 284
All the best Australia
Such a glorifying heading, in reality, Australia dominating from very long.
Ramirez Raja in his YouTube preview had mentioned if Pakistan wins the toss, they should bat. Also making Shadab to sit out, huge mistakes. Why dont these guys listen to ex-cricketers who have played earlier in these grounds. Looking at a score of 370+. Fielding is also not upto the mark.
@Ravi_India, Hey don't be coward by calling yourself Ravi. Give your real name and be a proud Pakistani.
@rajeev, "May the best team win" should be your attitude.
Pakistan's body language has dropped significantly....it seems that men in greens are giving up .....
Oh no Ramiz is back in the commentary box - mute time.
@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad, and the cricketing and financial superpower will surely win.... the toss
@Ravi_India, agree..No comments
Seems pakistan is waiting for things to happen by itself , sleeve up guys !!!
All the best Pakistan! From India
@Ravi_India, Sarcasm?
Score Aus 341/7
Looking at current score, looks like Aus will win by good margin. Maybe 100 runs or so.
Runs scored by Australia will be the highest in the tournament....Pakistan cannot chase it.
Definitely looks 390 plus. Will be tough for Pakistan yo win by chasing.
"Amir takes crucial Finch wicket to shatter Australia's opening partnership"
Shatter ? :) In which world ? I understand its painful :).
@Umesh, In that case Green Shirts would have been 175/5
Try underarm bowling to keep the score below 320 as thats the only chance given the rain is cleared off ....
Pakistan to lose here followed by loss from India and eventually out of world cup
Looks like a tall score is in store for pak to chase. And we all know their capability while chasing a target
@M. Emad, i agree
Warner escaped at least 10 times.
@Alwin, our team is good in chasing scores
Comical Pakistani fielding will let Australia score in excess of 350.
This match will show the difference between Indian and Pakistan team.
Aus is gonna set a new record today.
The same Aussie team appeared so weak in front of India..
Australia vs India...final. Today, Australia +400. Pakistan under 200 all out.
Already dropped 3 regulation catches....worst fielding display so far in the world cup....
dropping Shadab looks a very poor decision.
Very good come back. Warner gone...
Excellent breakthrough. Both batsmen new right now. Should put pressure and get couple of more wickets
Indian in US supporting Pakistan. But they got to take a catch .. Asif I think.
Finally someone caught one:) 4 down.
Good luck!!
Pakistan is already under the pressure and likely to loose wickets in hitting. They can fight back if keep the wickets in hand...
Pakistan should forget winning against Aus and Ind, it was a fluke to beat England.
Australia 277 for 4 after 42 overs - looks grim for Pakistan. Bad bowling and fielding have been the highlights of the match so far.
Very poor feilding by pakistan.
@Amit Sharma, Thank you Amit. Like wise support to India from Canada.
@Bikram Singh , You are the ones who throw a stone and hide your hands then when you are hit back you play the victims.!!!
Amir bowling brilliantly today. Third wicket for him and a stunningly miserly economy rate on top of it. There's a chance that Australia will make no more than 350. It'll still be practically impossible to chase but at least it's better than the 400 Australia might have hoped to achieve at some point.
@R,H.SULTAN, agree. But you change your position during India's match with other team. There people with similar sentiment on both sides. Just chill
300/7 in 47 overs is good going for Australia.
302/8...47.3...bowlers hav done their job...aussie r short of 30-40 run on this pitch...pak shud won without much difficulty
Great come back by Pakistan. I was expecting an Aussie score that is close to 400. Pakistan are back in the game now.
307 for 10.. Good work.. achievable
Brilliant spells of bowling by aamir. He has certainly given pakistani batting side a chance to aim at.
Superb bowling from Aamir.. hats off to you from India... Congrats.
Australia All out... Well done Pakistan.. way you go... wishes from India.. Asian tigers are the best....
Pakistan bowled awfully earlier in innings except for Amir and dropping Finch twice is even more awful. 308 isn't the biggest total in the world but Pakistan needs to bat through the new ball. If Pakistan isn't 30/4 after first 10 overs, this should be a good chase.
And they were after Aamir. To drop him. He is finished.
What no mention of dropped catch by asif ali?
Great gulf between Aamir and other bowlers. Pakistan now stands a chance as Aussies have only 4 frontline bowlers.
I think this target is more than enough for Australia to defend
Pakistan is back in the game with fury from Amir....its a 60-40 in favor of pakistan.....
opening partnership will be crucial. if openers provide century partnership in 20 overs then pakistan has a chance to win.good luck from india
A good chance for pakistan to win
307 is almost getable. We need a win not only to sneak our way into semi-finals but also for feel good effect in present economic woes.
Amir you beauty!
Shame on Asif Ali for poor fielding!
Amazing way they got Australia all out from what it looked like a one sided 400+ score. I hate to say this from India, but All the best to Pakistani boys and they deserve a win if they continue the same spirit in batting.
Great come back.
Good luck pakistan. Wish you win today
Pakistan couldnt catch a cold if they tried! Shocking fielding!
Good chance for Pak. Best of luck.
Asif ali dropped two catches and fielding was so bad,austalia didnot score huge like 400 or more because of last spell of pakistan bowlers compulse to austalia team to stop more than 325.
On a good batting wicket Australia managed to score 307 all out in 49 overs thanks to their openers Aaron Finch (82) and David Warner (107). Superb bowling performance by Amir who captured 5 wickets for 30 runs. Now it's Pakistani batsmen's responsibility to bat with patience and avoid risky shots. Let's see what happens. Good luck boys.
Definitely pakistan will win this match. Pakistan batting line is best in world. 307 is not a big score. Only 2 opening batsman will achived the target. World cup trophy is on the way for Pakistan.
307 is achievable
Great come back from Pakistan. Onus will be on batsman to deliver.
@Citi, one wicket down
Imam ul Haq a very slow player puts pressure on the his partner. They should drop him, he plays like he playing Test cricket. Imam has no technique and keep missing the ball.
It's interesting chase , that will test the depth of the batting of the pakistan, australia is one baller short and the key to success lies with it but in order to exploit it they need to bat sensibly unlike pakistan don't expect Australians will be dropping catches like pak did some of them were sitters .
@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad, Green Shirts will loose
All the best team Pakistan. Good luck from your neighbour India.
Poor bating by Australia in last 10 overs, Pakistan have a chance.
Impressive performance, especially given the comeback they achieved. Good going men in green
Go green shirts!! This is a winnable score. Go for it.
Best of luck to Pakistan,
Babar Azam what have you done. Babar was playing beautifully, what a reckless shot. Unbelievable
56 for 2 isn't a good start.
Gauntlet passed on to experienced players like Hafeez, Malik and Sarfaraz.
Azam gone really a bad news
This ain't no team India.
Babar Zaman threw his wicket
3rd gone....
Pakistan will loose this game by 50 to 60 runs.
Pakistan needs to play slow and steady
On a good batting wicket Pakistan restricted Australia to 307 thanks to superb bowling performance byAmir who captured 5 wickets for 30 runs. For Australia, openers Aaron Finch (82) and David Warner (107) were the only significant scorers. Pakistan chasing a 308 run target are 107/2 in 19 overs.
Pakistan is a very weak team. Only rain can save them.
I want Pakistan to win this match. Best wishes from India
Meditate, focus and play .. Pakistan is still in the game
Pak will lose this match very easily.
Pakistan has every chance to win this game.
Fakhar zaman missed the century by 100 runs.
A nail-biting match for sure. Good luck to both teams.
5 th wicket gone ! Where are the supporters of wonderful cricket of Pakistan !
5 down now. :-)
Another one bites the dust.
It's 147 for 5 and a lost cause.
Will Pakistan cross 250 runs?
3 wickets gone for 11, 147/5 - Pakistan out of race for semi finals.
Amir's 5 wicket haul gone to waste.
Australia got a big break through Professor trying to hit a full toss from Finch is caught at deep mid wicket Pakistan 151/5.
Pak target is 200.
Would have been better if it had rained. Irresponsible shots and 5 wickets down. Why is Shoaib still in the team?
@Indian, not possible, they have played more than 20 overs.
Pakistan seems happy to throw away the match. If they lose this match then the fluke win (against England) tag will remain for another few years.
Pak lost the match,
I want ramiz raja commentary now 147/5 ...
Me too I too want Pakistan to win
Pak Lost the match
Fantastic efforts are wasted
Asif Ali and Shoaib Malik will definitely will be dropped for next match.
Could Pakistan achieve 250 today?
Do you know Pakistan won Champions Trophy by fluke.
Six down, four to go. Match gets over under 200.
Pakistan 164 for 6 in 30 over wow world strongest batting lineup as per some Pakistani commentera
Champions Trohpy was a fluke...both for India and Pakistan.
4 more to go..
Pakistan going to lost semifinal by 100 run
Australia's score of 307 despite Amir's 5 for 30 shows other bowlers failure.
Pakistan looks such a minnow Team..Esp in front of Mighty Teams like India and Australia...Best of luck Pakistan for 2023 Workd Cup!!
@Ravi_India, So Now by how many wickets Pakistan will win today??? Anyways congratulations to Aus in advance
well played Australiia.
Pakistan played decent but the writing was on the wall. Asif Ali and Shoaib Malik are a waste of space.
Collapse just like Australian Team
Was hoping a win for Pakistan. But they are in dire situation right now. Not even a miracle could help.
Congratulations to Australia, the better team won.
It isn't bad for Pakistan either. So far in history, all captains who won WC for Pakistan became Prime Ministers and proved to be disaster.
Pakistan has been saved from that.
Pakistan will win this match by 4 wickets
What a worthless team
Today Rain ditched Pakistan team..bad luck for Pakistan team. but Pakistan baller well done
Imam, Hafeez, Amir, Wahab, Shadab, Sarfaraz, Babar. Only these guys deserve to be in the team.
If Ausies win then it is due to very poor pakistani fielding.......
The second time they got a green top to play on. The captain said clearly that different teams get different pitches to play. There certainly won't be a green top when India play Pakistan.
Shoaib Malik should not be playing. Imad would have been much better choice, but ... PCB is more loyal to people they know, are comfortable with or have influence over them ... so they select players not keeping Pakistan in mind, but their own desires.
Congratulations Australia!
You are the (much) better team and deserve to beat Pakistan comprehensively! Thumbs up!
No need for Sarfaraz to move away from the stumps to go for big hits, also avoid going outside the crease against off spinner Glen Maxwell. Leave big lofty shots for Hassan Ali to play.
It is shocking that Pakistan can't find batsmen nor can groom.
Sports in Pakistan need to get serious
Pakistan are now 6 down.Seems a very tough job to win now.
pak is winning this game
200/7 (33.5). Good game.
Almost done, 2 and half to go.
We Indians will not forgive Hassan Ali for trying to spoil our party by hitting those Sixers. Good news is that he is back in pavilion. :-)
now seven down its all over for Pakistan. Kings of unpredictability
Long shot here. Good luck, hope Pakistan makes it
My prediction: loss by 70
Y is sarfaraz afraid of taking strike
Bad show by Pakistani batsman, they could win even now if they bat sensibly, don't throw away the bat. They should play all 50 overs.
Interesting match. It's just possible that in the end Australia will edge past Pakistan as we have lost too many wickets too soon.
@Abhi, Yup, nail biting, at 200 for 7
Not good situation.
Great performance Pakistan as always!
Pak needs someone like akmal to boost the middle order, tough luck
Ready for another heart break.
5 takeaways from Pakistan's big loss against Australia
Pakistanis are our blood brothers, hate Australia winning
It's over...well almost.
Pakistan is really unpredictable.. from a 400+ prospect they b ing Aus to 308 ALL OUT.. on batting from an ok start and nearing target.. to almost shattered.. Not sure how to analyze a pak game. Can defeat aus/ eng/ind and and next day get defeated by ksa/ireland
Still Pakistan can kick Ausiiiiies if they stay on wicket
Do not surrender. Play out entire 50 overs. Do not throw away wickets.
What Sarfaraz uncle is doing???? His air to be not out????? he must start hitting the balllllll....waste captain
Wrong decision with toss
Pak will lose badly today
@Haryanavi_chora, why you want Australia in the finals ? Is it because you are afraid of a well balanced England team.
I am backing Pakistan to win this, yet I cannot believe the appalling ground and regulation fielding by your fielders, I can only feel for Wahab Riaz, a win here for Pakistan will make India vs Pakistan a lot lot interesting, good luck and see you on Sunday (if weather permits)
Pakistan will surprise their critiques
Pakistan can win this 228/7. Cummins is done with 9 overs. Take is deep... anything can happen.
Hope Pakistan will win this match! All the best Pakistan!!!
Mickey and Inzimam should be fired from their posts immediately.
Pakistan needs 78 runs in 1 overs with 3 wickets in hand. They still can make it if the current pair stays for another 6 to 7 overs.
Game on! Wait until the last ball is bowled.
Sahab Riyaz will be hero of this match.
When Shoaib does not score Pakistan wins.Best of luck from India .Meet u soon on 16 th
Congratulations Australia on winning the match.
Pakistan has come back in the match very well, first with bowling and then with some pinch hitting. But it is a question of couple of wickets.
Best of luck Pakistan. You will win this. With love from an Indian supporter
As I had said, lack of good 5th bowler is hurting Australia. Chance for Pakistan.
Do not get excited, play carefully. Only 51 runs are needed from 46 deliveries. One run per ball is all that needed. Come on boys! Do not loose your patience. Wonderful Cricket and you are an integral part of this fantastic event.
What a game
As a patriotic Indian to the core, never expected to be supporting Pakistan so much today. But 263/7 and with seven overs remaining, come on guys, you can do this!! Let's eliminate the yellow Ozzies..
With 8 wickets down, Pakistan in trouble.
wahab riaz is a good at batsman he should be promoted up the order
Well fought match, first real interesting n entertaining match.
It was a good fight by Wahab in the end. Bad luck
Hoping for a Pakistan win
Going good... Just last one to go.
265/9 (44.4). Game gone. Sorry Pakistan. Better luck next time. In the mean time Hang on tough.
Pak lost
It is not that Pakistan team is unpredictable. 50 over game itself is unpredictable. It gives every chance to win a match after eleven consecutive losses.
What is the excuse today mr. Captain?
Ok it is finished and Pakistan lost this game.
Pakistan has won ONE match of last 15 matches.
That tells the whole story.
Australia has won by 41 runs. Hard luck Pakistan.
Wow congratulations Australia...
It was good show by the tail enders. It was close.
well played Pakistan. Hard fought battle . The team has proven itself to not be a pushover. In the end Australia won but not an easy win. Thy had to really fight to win
Pakistan lost!
Pakistan lost, some of them played very well. Nevermind!
Latest news is pakistan all out at 266.
Aussies won by 41 runs
Game over. Best score of Pakistan in world Cup 2nd innings
Formality completed by Australia.
Pakistan 266 all out.So close but still so far.Hard luck Pakistan.
Aus won by 41 runs..
by 41 runs is it a nail biter?
Is Pak out of the tournament?
It's over. Unpredictable Pakistan
Nail biting ? really ? 41 runs .. wasn't this one sided ?
Great part of this game was Sarfaraz batted till the end.
Nail biting?? 41 runs is not nail biting dear
Why is mr shoab mirza still in the team?
There you go pakistan. Please come back and save some money.
It was all going all well till 45th over till tail gave up. Must say Pakistan has got good top order but middle and tail has to contribute.
Well done Aussies. Prayers of 1.3 billion Indians have worked. :-)
Lost by 41 runs yet calling it a nail biter!!!!
Just cannot fathom why Sarfaraz would opt for a single at 44.6, shocking brain fade from the Pak captain. Great match though, well played both Aus and Pak.
Pakistan should Asif Ali for the next match and bring back Haris Sohail. Asif dropped catch was expensive.
I beg to differ from your Headline... 1) It want a nail bitter at all. 2) it was middle order failure rather than lower order wickets.
Anything above 300 was not possible for us. My guess would be, we had to contend them to less than 265 to have any chance.
This time Australia done this job.
41 run defeat is not nail-biter.
The result was expected, Pakistan is a weak team.
What nail biter? Pakistan lost by 41 runs and 5 over to spare!
Pakistan only managed to get 266 all out, lost by 41 runs. In my view, bad bowling, fielding and rational shots by our irresponsible batsmen played a key part in our defeat. There are much stronger teams in the tournament, and our chances are very slim to be in the semi final.
R u sure it's nail biter
41 runs is NOT a nail biter. Irresponsible and unprofessional as they are, Fans have to live with this Pakistani team and historically that is always the case.
Winning by 41 runs is NOT a nail biter .... It's a trashing........
41 runs defeat, still a Nail biter!!! Really??
Where is the champion of the universe?
41 runs defeat can also be called nail biter. Ok i appreciate the batting in middle order that gave some tense moment to Aussies but they couldnt hold onto that pace. Anyways Pak bowlers did well but batsmen need some net practice.
Well played Pakistan. Very compact batting by Wahab Riaz against top class fast bowler 1 sec delay in referring for DRS would have made the game interesting. I am surprised why Sarfaraz didn't accelerate and try hitting a boundary every over.
Nail biter?
41 run defeat cannot be a nail biter.
Nail biter....? How come 41 run loss became nail-biter. IT was clinical performance by Australians. Well payed Amir and Wahab.
Lear ABCD of "how to snatch defeats from the Jaws of win."
It was always a 250 par wicket but Pakistan fielding and wayward bowling in the first 20 overs let Australia score 300+ score. I think, Pakistan does not need a low quality power hitter in Asif Ali who rarely scores any runs. If our batting clicks we are always in position to score 320 runs without any power hitter. Shoaib is more a liability than of any use as he averages merely 10 in England.
41 runs loss is not a nail biter.
I won't call it a nail biter, easy win for Australia, Pak tail enders panicked and threw away wickets.
41 runs difference yet nail- biter
Aus are 5 time world champions. So they proved. Congos Australia
Well played Pakistan,
266 all out on target 308 is not nail biter. Its one sided match. Time to improve for next match
Easy match for PAK. Last few overs changed the scene and PAK lost it
First, this is was not a nail-biter as indicated in the title. Australia won the match comfortably. Second, by miracle, if Pakistan does win the world cup it would be by a side that is one of the worst to have won.
41 run loss cannot be termed as nail biting match. Aussies dominated the match.
This was a very satisfying match.
Top order should delivery. One of the Top 3 should convert to century. Hassan and Riaz salvaged some pride but they are not batsman and will not be able to rescue in every match. Very disappointing from the regular batsman. Pakistan after this match is having the worst run rate in the table. Still time but sun is setting for Pakistan, almost.
Inshallah boys played well
The better team won. Congratulations to both the teams for a good match.
What nail biter?
Sarfaraz Ahamed made a big mistake by choosing bowling first...... otherwise Pakistan could have won this game.....
Shoaib malik should BE LEFT OUT!!! He is pointless. Plus Amir should have been MAN OF MATCH. #CorruptICC.
Real winners of this mach Hassan Ali and Wahab who entertained the cricket lovers all over the world. Your team lost but you won men, great job done on batting otherwise your team total would have been a meager figure. Keep it up.
A defeat by 41 tuns is not a nail biter.
First time I am hearing a 41 run nail bitter.
Inshallah!!! Boys played so well................. :-)
Pakistan gave them the game !
Afridi should not have been in the team. Send him.home!
The whole team should go home and save Us the
embarrassment !
Losing by 41 runs is a nail-biter?
@Amit Sharma,
Sorry to say but it was not a nail-biter at all. It was on the edge to become nail-biter but before that, as usually, we collapsed and surrendered to opposition.
So disappointed......well, fielding is so poor ..... wonder if they go through catching practice.....this team really needs to work hard on its fielding.....feeling sorry for Amir......he played his heart out but the team let him down......
Though Australia won the match but it's Pakistan who won hearts! Great effort never mind. Good wishes from India
Pakistan middle order and tail ender's had a chance. But they blew it. Each one of them wanted to be a hero by hitting 6's and 4's instead of running through 50 overs.
This one was for Pakistan to win! Most batmen threw their wickets! Far a die hard fan it is frustrating to see them lose like this!
Does not matter. We will beat India. That is all that matters.
Since when did a 41 run loss become a nail biter ? If the game went upto the last over then it would have been a nail biter. A little over 4 overs was left for the game to close.
Nail biter? Pretty comprehensive win.
Lost by 41 runs. A nail biter?
Come on, defeat by 41 runs is never a nail-biting. The victory against England was just a fluke.
How is it a nail biter when you have lost by 40 odd runs
Well played aus. Hard luck for Pakistan they were off to a good start but the middle order did not click
@Danish, Are you always like this?
@Shahid, Don't blame one guy...Its a team effort...Everyone failed..its as simple as it can get...
On way back to Pakistan.
Frankly, Australia's bowling looked very ordinary, only because most pakistani batsmen played reckless shots, Australia won.
Well chased. In this tournament every team had chased well and defeated by whisker.
just wondering why these constant non performers Shoeb malik and M hafeez get selected despite their poor records and inconsistencies. This is ridiculous , nepotism and inept behavior by the selectors taking a heavy toll on the teams performance. Why Sarfaraz is made the captain , all useless lots not fit to play Intl games. Disgusting
Forty One (41) Runs defeat is not a nail biter. Pakistan may have thought they had a chance but it was obvious for any neutral to foresee an Australian win.
who said it's nail biter ? it was very comprehensive victory for Australia
Result came out as predicted in survey. Congrats to Australia. Let's wait for next big match of Pakistan against India on Sunday. Best of luck to both teams.
A match won by 41 runs can be called nailbiting?
It was a good game both sides played well, congrats to Australia.
That was not a nail biting finish....41 runs is a big total remaining
Very poor performance.
It was not nail biter as Pakistan lose by big 41 runs.It was rather a poor performance.India played far better against Australia.
It was a good game, and that's what counts.
It was not a nail biting finish when they lose the match by 41 runs. It would have been nail biting finish if they had lost by at least 20 runs.
It was not "nail biter" it was "one sided"
Where we will hide Asif Ali?
Best fielder award goes to Asif Ali
Pakistan lost by 41runs and still you call it a nail-biter!
It was never a nail biter. A better team won comfortably.
The target was achievable only if top order had shown greater responsibility. Both Fakhar and Babar getting out to needless shots. Imam getting caught down leg side off a ball which would have been a wide. It should not have come to Hassan and Wahab to rescue us. Will need to bat much better in the remaining games.
What an awful playing conditions. Overcast, grey.,cold. Dont forget 3 matches already abandoned..Wonder Why ICC awarded England to host the tournament.
How is a 41 run defeat termed as a nail biter finish
Seriously, why was nail biting about 41 runs?
Another thrashing of one of the most hyped up team. Only a real bad day of opponent can make them lose against this ordinary Pakistani team.
With such pathetic fielding, Pakistan shouldn't expect to win matches. Moreover, they are so impulsive cricketers. What was the need for Hassan Ali to play that reckless shot when things were going fine.
How is it nail-biting if u lose by 40+ runs ?
Nail-bitter? Which match you are talking about? Lost by 4 runs would have been a nail bitter not by 41 runs.
"Reigning champs Australia beat Pakistan by 41 runs in nail-biter at Taunton"
Pakistan used to loose with bigger margins so 41 runs can be called nail-biter margin
Pakistani bowling had the capability to restrict the Aussies to 250 and the pitch was perfect too ... But they gave too many runs , 307 is too much in first innings for this bowling friendly atmosphere ... They lost the match there , not they failed to chase the run ... anyway played well
Why sarfraz did take run on the last ball of Mitch stark over and put shaheen to batting ...he could have avoid that run and he should have faced the next Over like a brave captain .... I am talking about the last over they played......and then ran without seeing the fielder maxwell and got himself run out... Waah !
It was a comfortable victory for Australia, 41 runs being a good margin. This Australian team has a very weak bowling attack and will be easily exposed by good batting sides. It is tomorrow match India/NZ which will be interesting, the only two unbeaten teams in the competition.
nail biter??? Everyone knew the winner once Aussies crossed 300 mark.
It was immaturity on part of Sarfaraz. He should have kept the strike and not expose lower order. He was acting as if he is the victim of Fallon wickets on other end. Instead he should have shielded the lower order and taken on the main batsmen role. This is where he needs to learn how to win such close matches. It was our game to loose. Not theirs to win. They had almost lost all hopes when we had 50 runs to get from 8 overs. But our captain didn't understand how not to let the tail be exposed. Sarfaraz has so much more to learn. Pathetic.
@LOUDSPEAKER , who told you that was batting wicket ! Apart from Amir all bowlers failed miserably
Welldone Pakistan was very closed. Still in the race. Trophy still in hands of Pakistan. All need patience for coming matches.
I think Sarfraz lacks common sense. He has a habit of electing to field first knowing that chasing the target has always been an issue with Pakistani batsmen. Why does he always puts himself and his batsmen under that pressure. He needs an explanation or should quit captaincy. If he quits captaincy then we have a better wicketkeeper batsman to replace him. Sarfraz had been thriving on his world cup inning against South Africa in Australia. That is history and it was one time achievement.
Loosing by 41 runs is not a nail biting match. Largely it was a one sided match.
why did safaraz take the last run of secondlast ball, he should have not taken the run and faced the ball next over, and not let afrid face the ball again after getting a run in the previous over
Winning by 14 runs is a 'nailbiter'. Losing by 41 runs is a thrashing.
@ABCD, They did cross 250
@Umesh, Sarfraz has a habit of electing to field. He lacks common sense. I have no idea what makes him believe Pakistani batsmen can chase a target and specially this kind with Australia. He must be punished for this basic choice of his stupidity. IK told him the same many times and an ordinary street playing cricketer knows this fact.
@Alwin, Sarfraz lacks common sense and he always prefers to field first. If he ever does that again then he should be severely punished for playing with national prestige. That should come under Article 6 of our constitution.
@rajeev, No. And there are number of people who would not agree with you. Australia is not an anti Indian country. India is its 5th largest trading partner. I love Australia.
Anonymouseee, didn't you say Australia was a mediocre team when they lost to India a few days ago?? Well...what would you call your team now? You lost to a mediocre team!!
Pakistan team first need to learn how to catch a leather ball... Club cricket filders are better catchers .
Next time Sarfraz elects to field first then he must be trialed under Article 6. I have no idea how he got this senseless idea that Pakistan can chase targets and huge targets.
@kabir, do not understand
@Teripan Dillon, New momentum that is; out of the world cup..
I fail to understand the reason behind including Shoaib Malik in the World Cup squad despite his miserable record in England and even worse recent performance and form. He is a BIG NOTHING in the team right now both in batting as well as bowling. Asif Ali is the second biggest disappointment. He should be sent back to play first class cricket and prove himself again to play at the international level. Selection committee resign after this dismal performance mainly due to their poor team selection.
Pakistan played well. Better luck next time. They are a good team!
Well played pak; its unfortunate that you are on loosing side;
Pakistan shud think of world cup 2023..
I know allot of Pakistanis is here are disappointing and rightly so. Other than the England, game they have lost themselves mentally as a team. What good are the highest wicket takers when you cant play as a team. Pakistan has great individual players but they need serious help with their mindset as a team.
@ishu, What semi-final? They will not more than 2 or 3 games in the league!!
@Raman , why would Australia winning make India proud? It shouldn't matter to Indians who wins this game.
Very disappointed! Pakistan kind of gifted the game to Australia. Unnecessary airborne shot from Hafeez when everything was under control. Basic game awareness was all that was needed!
What was nail biting here?
Nail biting. R u kidding?
Pakistan came back well to contain Australia and bowl them out. The Imam Hafeez stand was getting dangerous for Australia, and 308 looked chasable then. However, both played poor shots to get out. Very soft dismissals.
Well deserved win by Australia. Green shirts were entertaining. A win, win, for fans...
Gordon D. Walker
I am more interested in India - Pakistan match .. regardless whoever wins, the show is always interesting where at end spectators win
Don't understand the reason behind fielding first. This is not the 90s anymore where some greenery on the pitch should affect your decision. You always bat first in an ODI. Need a captain who is up to date with modern ODI tactics.
You have won toss against Australia not against Asian teams. Australian know how to play on green wicket. You have applied mind in selecting fielding first.
"The defending champions were dismissed for 307 in 39 overs." In 49 overs, not 39.
@R,H.SULTAN, good joke
Australia defeated Pakistan easily. There was no nail biting.
What was nail biting??
Pakistan has to improve their batting if they wanted to go to next round.
You mean 49 overs* Not 39.
16th JUNE is Father's day... 16th JUNE is India and Pakistan World cup match
Why did Sarfaraz took that single on the penultimate over to expose No.11 batsman (afridi) in the next over. Did he lack courage to face strike bowlers. Extremely poor judgement by the captain.
Some one needs to deliver a message to this team. Play Harris sohail, Shadab and Imaf wasim in place for Shoaib Malik, Asif ali and Shaheen
We will win most of our remaining matches then. That combination will work on most pitches in England
They lost because of poor fielding.They actually pushed the catches away.
Look at the title ,... nailbiter but lost by 41 runs :)
Since when did 41 run defeat become nail biter
How is a 41 run defeat a nail biting finish!!
Pakistan let sliped the match that they were in a winning position , Austrailia won today and against WI more on a luck than performance.
As expected. Nothing surprising. See it doesn't matter how much wickets are taken by one bowler but how much runs are collectively scored as a team.
It was an exciting match ...... Australia played better cricket and Pakistan proved once again that it still has not developed the discipline needed to get the job done when they are in difficulty.
Pakistan played very well to loose just by 41 runs. Good job they have certainly improved from the last 11 losses.
"Australia beat Pakistan by 41 runs in a nail-biting finish"
A margin of 41 runs is not considered a "nail biter" in ODI cricket by any means.
How is a defeat by 44 runs and more than four overs to go be called "nail biting". Pakistan again failed to last 50 overs.
Well played Pakistan. Love from India.
The way our batsmen lost wickets - something looks fishy. This match should be investigated for any match fixing.
Match was 49 overs first inning not 39. Sir
Sir they played 49 overs not 39
This is what happens when you have two of your batsmen score zero runs.
When Team will learn to play full 50 overs?
Lot of good individual performances, but collectively the team lost.
Sorry Green Shirt !!! Bowler has done their job successfully to restrict Kangaroo !!! Some how Batsman could not give their best !!!!!
It is not easy to beat Australia !!!!! Good efforts !!!!!
Now one can see how India win. It never be a fluke at any game in past or future . They work very hard on ground. Good understanding among all players and having excellent team spirit !!!! Virat kohli always go and get tip from MS Dhoni in needed situation. follow them !!!! Good Luck for future game !!!
Sarfaraz is the reason we lost. Dhoni would not have allowed his tail enders to take strike. Disappointing display from Sarfaraz, i guess he is too afraid to face Starc.
Not a nail biter. Catches win matches.
@Unreal, You sound so immature and novice. What kind of cricketing know how do you have to make such a statement. Do you follow and understand cricket?
@Vish, The word hasn't got around about u being the ultimate cricket guru. Pretty funny how u have already crowned the champions already. Pardon me for being naïve but isn't the purpose of playing the darn tournament is to have a winner.
So much talent but so inconsistent. We all feel saddened by Pakistan's lost. Pakistan deserves a kinder fate.
Pakistan were 164/6 in 30 overs and then 200/7 . Only some lucky boundaries from Wahab took them to 260. The moment he got out, it ended all.
Pakistan needs to really worry about their batting.
@Ravi_India, Ravi Pakistani..Aus defeated PK by 41 runs.
Batsmen cost us the match .. babar, imam and hafeez threw their wickets when they are all set and should have easily score some big runs .. Surely earlier the bowler missed the trick and allowed them a flying start ..
Brave fight, Pak should have won. It is good to see them fighting. Good luck.
How to build up on failures like Asif Ali, Shoaib Malik, Shaheen Afridi and Imam ulnhaq. Well that is half team that needs to go.
Pakistan loses to India then rest does not matter. Boys will be coming home
Again no performance by so called great Shoaib Malik in crunch Match situation against Top team!!!!! Why Pakistan is kept investing over him ????
Fakhr Zaman & Asif Ali badly needs to improve their game... Baber Azam need's to play long innings and must keep remember his Role in the team
From next match onward, Pakistan think tank has decided to open with Wahab and Hasan. No, I am not talking about bowling.
Pakistan is still stuck in a pre-modern cricket age. They are too emotional a team to be consistent. They'll certainly lose badly if they bowl first against India.
Australia will lose the semi-finals and India will win finals against England.
Great fight put up by Pakistan, few mistakes let us down. Still it was a treat to watch, good luck Team Pakistan.
@ishu, so you're saying we'll make the semis then? Thanks for your vote of confidence!
Aus crossed 307 under over cast conditions against supposedly best bowling in the world ( assuming this is a one country planet) .....
It was an easy target to chase but batting did not perform well.
Since when a loss by 41 runs is a nail biter?
@Jantrips, I agree they gifted match to Australia because of idiotic decision
Nail biter ? 41 runs Melbourne
The defending champions were dismissed for 307 in 49 overs.....please correct that.
@IMTIAZ, both should be out especially shoiab Malik
Why is shoaib Malik in team
Replace Hassan Ali with Hasnain and if you win toss bat first.
@Veer Singh, I am an indian just to set the record. Have you seen us against green top? Likely under 250 chasing this score. Don't want to bring champions trophy final which all Pakistani would love to bring it up but a case in point what happened to Rohit and Co. against a moving ball..
After defeating England your captain said that whole world afraid of Pakistan and really he is right at these time
The margin of defeat was 41 RUNS and you call it Nailbitter.....
India - Pakistan will be a fantastic match. Pakistan has the edge with Amir.
The result was never in doubt. We all expected that the eight wicket will fall sooner or later.
Oxford definition of nail biting is where one stroke could alter the result. This was not even close.
Why Sarfaraz took a single of the last ball of Starc over with last man Shaheen is beyond me !! And he has got to learn to talk a bit slow in post match presentation. He seems so rushed and eats half the words.
You have written about everything that happened in the match, except that you glaringly omitted to mention the idiotic decision by Sarafaraz to take one run. in the dying moments of the game , and exposing the inexperienced Afridi to face the next over, which say him get out. BTW it sasn't the skipper who was out, But Afridi, due to Srfaraz's idiotic action! I do not understand why Pakistan are continuing to tolerate an inept, useless, and incompetent captain.!!!!
Australia were dismissed for 307 in 49 overs, not 39!!
I think its time for Mr. Imran Khan to come out of retirement and lead the team again :)
At least Pakistan was "RUTHLESS" in today's game. Job done.
Time for Shoaib, Sarfraz to retire, and say bye to Asif (he has been given too many opportunities to contribute). One can depend on Shoaib and Sarfraz to let the team down when Team needs them the most.
Please look at the definition of "Nail Biter" it was lopsided contest with few bright spots from Pakistan .Amir was exceptional and one fluke from tail ender.
Pakistan lost by 40+ runs. How it was a nail biter?
@Satya Jeet, "How is a defeat by 44 runs and more than four overs to go be called "nail biting". Pakistan again failed to last 50 overs."
Looking at the scores does not tell the whole story. Both when Hasan Ali was playing as well as when Wahab Riaz was playing, it looked like Pakistan could win because the asking rate was not very high and Pakistan was managing to score the requisite runs in the over.
A fellow Indian.
@ishu, "Pakistan going to lost semifinal by 100 run"
They are unlikely to be in the semis.
Nail biting? Good joke
Amir did not concede the boundary it was was the miserable player who was badly trained in fielding could not stop the ball.
Losing by 41 runs is not a nail biting match.
inzamam ul haq factor did not help the Great Team.
@Jantrips, Love you back even more my love Indo brother.
IndoPak Blood Brothers 4 Life!
Sarfaraz should have shielded the tail-Enders instead of exposing them directly.
He should have kept the strike more often. But instead he just let them be exposed. Even when Wahab was hitting , Sarfaraz should have taken a lead because Sarfaraz is the true batsman, not Wahab. So the true batsman didn't get to play a role in the game. Just watched the tail go down. Bad captain
Bad team selection and mediocre captaincy face the game away.
It was not nail biting, it was final nail in the coffin.
@Vish, not a correct view
Your team needs to blame itself for snatching a defeat from the jaws of victory, through some irresponsible batting and really low level of fielding! No finger pointing this, what was Asif Ali doing in the field to not reach the fine edge in the slips; and compound the same by dropping a 'sitter' in the deep? All the excellent bowling by Amir was negated by some irresponsible batting in the middle order! In the last World Cup too, sloppy fielding gave a reprieve to Shane Watson, off Wahab; and what measures need to be taken to up the fielding!!
@Ansuman, too much jealousy.....from across the border.
@Veer Singh, Had India lost, the wordings would have been "title holders thrash India".
@MUSHTAQ A. SYED, Pakistan in winning position? There was a short period of good run rate by Pakistan - say in last 30 minutes or so of the game. Otherwise, all along, Australia was projected to win. However Pakistan did put up a good fight and deserves kudos for the same!
A 41 run loss is not a nail biter my friends at Dawn!
41 runs is not nail biting. It was a comfortable win by Australia.
Nail biter?! It wasn't even close. The margin ws 41 runs - a bigger margin than when India beat Australia.
Nail biter?! It wasn't even close. The margin ws 41 runs - a bigger margin than when India beat Australia.
Poor amir he gave 110,% in the bowling while excepting him to doing the job of batsman too
Pakistan played a great game; two missed catches made all the differences.
What a great captain's knock from sarfaraz but went in vain....seems like rest of the team was determined to sabotage his efforts.....PCB should investigate the intention of shohaib, hafeez, babar, and zaman.....I won't be surprised if players are involved in betting scandal.......something is very suspicious by the way they got out......
Pakistani team is as usual below par. They carry a tag of the most 'unpredictable' team of the cricket world, but I beg to differ. They are 'predictably' underwhelming, particularly in the big stage events such as the world cup. As a Pakistani supporter, I felt let down YET AGAIN. Aside from Amir, the other 10 players should hang their head in shame. I wonder how much of a belting Team Pakistan will receive in their next match!
Pakistan lost one sides and comprehensively it's no way a nail bitter
Nail biter with 41 runs... If we extrapolate that a nail biter in 20-20 would be of a difference 103.
It was a easy win but batsman got out playing unnecessary shots . They should drop shoeb Malik he is out of form
As Indian and cricket fan , I would say Pakistan gifted this match Australia . When I say Pakistan batting does not have strength or depth to chase good score . It was poor decision when you won toss
it was nail biter because Pakistani fielders were biting nails instead of stopping runs or taking catches.
As an Indian, I don't want Pakistan to beat us. However, as an Asian, I was disappointed today. Australia did not win but Pakistan lost. Lousy fielding dropped catches and poor bowling was the main reason for the Aussies to score 300+ runs. Amir is in a different league. Exceptional bowler and he is the only reason for the Aussies not scoring 350+. Very disappointed and hope Amir is not this good when you guys play against us :)
It could have been anyone's game. Well played Aussies, well fight Pakistanis.
Pakistan have lost a match they could have won. Now look to the future and be positive. In spite of the loss, the net run rate difference has improved. This was one of the worries after the loss to W. Indies.
Pakistani fans -- please get off the backs of your players and selectors. I hope those who were abusive to Amir, Wahab and Imam will see their folly now.
Best wishes - though I am afraid I'll be rooting for India on Sunday.
Had Pakistan played professionally, it would have won the match.
Pakistan team looked like Indian team of the 90s.....good only in patches, experts in stealing defeat from the jaws of victory, poor strike rotation and over-reliance on aerial shots, poor ability to absorb pressure, no clinical finishing capability.
The match was one-sided.
What? Nailbiter? Must be joking
Horrible fielding effort from Pak team. Players not enthusiastic as required at international level. Equally poor batting display from Aussie team after the excellent start.
Well played Pakistan.
Good game by Pakistan. I enjoy watching Pakistani cricket.
Had Sarfaraz refused Shaheen's single in the last ball, the results cud hv bn different but this is cricket. No blaming anyone. Well played guys. Best of luck in the future games.
good fight back by pak team; if they continue like this, it is possible for them to defeat India; pak bowling as usual very sharp. nothing wrong in loosing while fighting; it is a honor
Lol nail biting
@Raman , I Yellow has made you proud. Right! Ine day we'll be proud forever and you'll be crying, you won't understand its meaning,just wait and watch!Ok.
@Veer Singh, ok,forgive him who has written 'nail bitting'.End result is not in favor Pakistan whether you call it a nail bitting or not.
Its ok we won CT17.
Here is your tea cup.
Really strange..A mediocre indian team defeated australia, but our mighty and powerful team lost to Australia..
@Satya Jeet, how many dis Australia last??
@Veer Singh, actually Australia didnt 'beat' Pakistan; Pakistan lost.
It worked
Only wahab Riaz and Amir are playing cricket. Rest of the team is pathetic
Hard Luck , Pakistan let the match out of hands. with such incosistent batting , Pak must not trust themselves for chasing when winning toss.
Only one batsman stay for 70-80 runs in top 4 would have saved the day
Despite the loss in close fight I am quite sure pakistan will enter semis. After that it's pure chance who gets the cup. Amir should have been the man of the match
A bad performance. The team lacked mental application. It did not seem that some players wanted pakistan to win. Drop catches and throwing their wickets like this is very much abvious. The pitch it seemed had nothing in it the only thing required was someone who could stay on the pitch and bat. Very worried about Afghanistan, Bangladesh and india match. With this performance the chances seem very bleak for a win. Rain should interfere.
Pakistan won the toss in overcast conditions and put Australia in to bat first. The defending champions were dismissed for 307 in 39 overs.
Pl make correction as 49 overs
@ishu, 1st they have to reach semifinal....
Nail biting ...headline..Margin was 41...
Pakistan is a very talented team. But then it lacks consistency. More jt is deprived of iron fisted leadership. They have one of the best bowling attacks at least pacers, explosive batsmen like Imam faquar or Babar. But their fielding is lethergic and catching laughable. And then the leader has to be an a peer as is the case with most of the top teams .
Pakistan batting lineup exposed..
Well played Pakistan, despite of the middle order collapse, there was strong resistence which will be a cause of concern for other teams incl india
Pakistan is practically out of this world cup after this defeat. Rest of the Pakistan matches are now for academic purpose only.
Loss is ok but please request Ramiz Raja to stop commenting. He is more irritating than Himesh Rashmyas Nasal singing.
41 runs defeat isn't a nail-biter game.
I guess Pakistan gave a tough fight. Pakistan would have won the match if it had a strategy in chasing. Hope Sunday match with India will be interesting! Both sides are well poised and I hope to see a nice match ahead.
with a little more application pak would have won
shame on Rain didn't came to help ;)
But Pakistan won CT agaimst india so it is team strong..
How come loosing by 40+ runs becomes a nail biter ;)
I think Sarfaraz 11 should start packing things back. Your tickets back to Pakistan are confirmed.
@R,H.SULTAN, Agree.
Defeat by 41 runs is not called nail biter finish
If it would have rained then people would have regretted that pakistan has lost a point because people thought that win is only result possible in wash out game.
I didn't watch the match live but wondering how come you call it a nail biting match when one team is lost by more than 40 runs.
Good luck for Sunday and Happy Fathers Day in advance!
A win by 41. How is it a nail-biter?
Credit to Pakistan for fighting tooth and nail against the mighty Australians giving them a fright. Some very poor fielding let them down otherwise Pakistan could have won.
Pakistan dismissed Aussies in 49 overs not 39. Correct that
Even Bangladesh having better Run rate the Pak.
@Super Zak, Off course Pakistan lost this game but I trust they have won morally, what a spirit has been displayed during the game, each player has contributed but luck was with Australia, otherwise this game was with Pakistan.
the match was in Pakistan hand a lot of times but ultimately Pakistan threw it away.The hitting by Wahab and the other bowler happens sometimes and Australia weak links were exposed after initial outburst from cummins and starc. At 1 stage when imam and hafeez were batting the game was in Pakistans control,but then both did not convert into a big score and that cost Pakistan.
Very interesting match !
Balanced till the end!!
I liked the way Pakistani bowlers bowled and batted!! Keep it up!
@R,H.SULTAN, Sir, We are supporting a nation far away because our neighbor has drawn the wrong conclusions as to what it means to be neighbors, as evidence by 7 decades of history.
@ishu, do you think reaching semi final will be a cake walk for Pakistan?
To me, it really does't matter that my team lost. The real question i keep asking myself after every game is that did it fight for national pride? The answer was YES this time.
I want to see Greens in full bloom on 16th. Looking forward to an interesting game ahead.
Didn't win but Pakistan put up a fight.
Want to see 5 takeaways soon.
Poor selection, captaincy and coaching. No room for imamul haq, asif ali, fakhar zaman, hassan ali and shoaib malik, now the left over members have got no talent to win a game for you.
41 Run defeat A Nail biting Defeat
How it is nail biting....Pakistan lost over 40 runs...
Nail biter? 41 runs.
I am an Indian and a big fan of Washim Akram. I don't support Pakistan team, but I liked the way Babar Azam palyed, he got hug potential. He is a very good talent.
And you call it a nail biter.... I hope Pakistani cricket expectation standards can improve! Given modern tactics of the ODI game, AUS was better in every department!
You lost
Game well played Team GREEN. We will always support you.
Nail biting...Margin was 41 runs. It was as easy as it gets. Poor display by Pakistan. Arch rival India will surely be defeated now.
Sarfaz plays pathetic in the end as he don't raise himself to the occasion. Also Pakistani tail need to work hard on their batting abilities as their batting skills is extremely pathetic .
What a cover-up by Dawn. How is Australia reigning champion when it lost to India last week.
nail biting??? 41 runs and 45.4 overs can hardly by any scope of imagination be called "nail biting". it was a walk over.
@JackJones, Ramiz Raja is one of the best commentator.
bad team work, which leads to bad fielding, batting, bowling and every part of the game. due to misfielding pakistan lost more than 70 runs.
@Indie Guy, 't does in a way , given the fact india played against Aussies recently.
I feel sorry for Pakistan after loss.
it is not nail-biter. 41 runs defeat.
When they (Pakistan) bowl it seems to be a 'batting' wicket and when they bat it seems to be a 'bowling' wicket!
The one-sentence summary could be " Even if you have best-skilled players, you need the discipline to win against a strong opponent."
I saw many analyst shows today after the match and one bowler that was ignored recognition was Wahab Riaz. We all know he batted his heart out something that was expected from our specialist batsmen. I think Wahab was very unlucky, catches were dropped of his bowling, Warner would have been out for 30 runs and in my opinion Wahab would have gotten at least 3 to 4 wickets if our fielding unit did not fail. As I have said before Shoaib Malik does not deserve a place in the pakistan team, seniority is of no use if you cannot perform. Well now that everything is done and dusted the Pakistan team needs to go in with a clear and focused mind and perform in the next game.
It was perfect batting pitch...down slight started with Fakhar zaman..caught similar foolish shot he is often getting out
Spirited Pakistan in the last 15 overs of Australian batting, last 15 overs of their own batting. Usal Pakistan in their fielding, middle overs batting and temperament.
Probably Pakistan is the only team in this world cup which is still not sure the right ODI combination of the team.In the team the bowlers are doing better in batting than frontline batsmen in crucial game and doing worst fielding repeatedly.This is due to lack of proper prepatation for the world cup and seriously lathergic managerial guidance of the team.A good team should always give importance of their strength and weakness and should read the individual match contextually and should take necessary decisions.For example how Australian captain sent batsmen before Khawaja considering the context of the game is a sign cricketing knowledge.For me Pakistan is seriously lacking guidance of this kind of crcketing knowledge with so many other issues.Seeing the last match I think Sadab should have been picked in place of Shoheb or Asif.They should also think about Fakhar,s alternative as soon as possible.
It was pakistan's match to lose.
@Vinodh, "How come loosing by 40+ runs becomes a nail biter ;)" It's a game my dear. A game is not summed up by it's final result. It is ALL the events/phases that lead toward the end that matters.
@Venkat, Because Aussies won the 2015 world cup and that why they are called reigning champions.
Nail biter???
@Satya, you would know had you watched it live.

After doing some reading recently about GMOs and labeling I tripped over this rather scathing article that mentioned the fact that seeds are now patented. I was not aware of that; of course now that I think about it, it makes sense. If someone invests millions of dollars in a product, he should be able to patent it. On the other hand, it is troublesome to me that we are patenting living organisms (seeds, and in some cases animals – see this piece about salmon). If I take a step back from this for a moment, it occurs to me that this would have made good subject matter for an episode of the Twilight Zone or Night Gallery in the 1960s. In this Brave New World there are advancements being made that astound and at the same time frighten. All the while, the spector of hunger and a exploding population hang over our heads. It's no wonder this is such a hot button for many people.

We had taken the train to Katoomba, and as it's a tourist town that's essentially the jumping off point for anyone doing any exploring in the Blue Mountains, we were banking on there being a cute cafe to kick off our hike. In fact, I hadn't even bothered to do the usual "specialty coffee" web search that tends to guide my explorations in new places. Sometimes you just want to leave things up to chance; espresso tastes better with a side of serendipity. And while normally I insist on making coffee and home and bringing the Thermos—because the Swede in me will always need a 10am fika break no matter where I find myself—for some reason, on this day, I had skipped my normal routine.
As I quickly learned in Australia, while in the thriving metropolises of Melbourne and Sydney you can hardly throw a rock without hitting a good coffee shop, more rural places are a bit different. But far-flung, special cafes do exist, and that's what makes the trek for good coffee exciting: you never know what you are going to find.
Our last weekend in Australia we had committed to a day-long hiking excursion in the Blue Mountains, the UNESCO world heritage area of over 1 million hectares of glorious wildlands. We were almost ready—trail-running shoes laced up and with so much sunscreen on I looked moderately ghost-like—but first, coffee.
While my morning cup of coffee at home is one thing, a morning cup of coffee before an outdoor excursion is even better. Whether you're headed out on a multi-day trip, or just an early morning brisk walk, there's something about getting that first cup of coffee in you. And it's even better when you find a hole-in-the-wall joint wherever your adventure begins from.
That cup of coffee, be it at a diner or roadside java drive through, indicates the start of something, the kickoff. Which is why things are even better when that coffee tastes good.
It's a humble joint, with cafe in the front, a Diedrich roaster in the back. Having already drank a coffee, I went for a bag of beans to take for later, but the barista on hand insisted I try a shot of the Guatemalan La Liberdad (I am certain this was the Australian god's version of sending me an angel to guide me along to better life choices). A bright and citrusy espresso, just like I like them.

Health Benefits Of Owning A Pet
It is so clear to me that pets, and in our case, dogs especially, bring so much joy and love to the table from a pure human emotional place. It's why many of us have them and for better or worse they really add to our lives and give us layers of feelings, experiences, responsibilities and learning opportunities we never thought we'd have. So it's good to actually get some great confirmation that not only for obvious human emotional reasons, there is actually great evidence of real benefits in owning a dog that are important to remember. I stumbled across an article in a magazine called The Market Place and read this article written by Kathy Glow. I'll break it into a few small chunks and I think it's a great read for sure!!!
I think this is a huge breakthrough of understanding and should be utilized for ALL kids!!
"Pets help children deal with ADHD and autism: Children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder can benefit from having a pet because it helps them develop a sense of responsibility and focus. Playing with pets helps kids burn excess energy, and caring for a pet successfully can increase kids' self-esteem. A recently noted in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing, children with autism often bond strongly with pets and enjoy interacting with them. Autistic children who live with a pet from a young age learn greater social skills. A pet can often provide the companionship and nonjudgmental, unconditional love that such children may struggle to find among their peers. Furthermore, some autistic children's behavior improved and outbursts decreased after play or therapy with animals, including dogs, cats guinea pigs, and horses. "
Here's one that is pretty obvious and really great to remember…
"Pets, particularly dogs, help keep owners physically fit. With all those walks and games of fetch, both humans and canines get a workout! dogs can also provide their owners with opportunities to socialize, meeting other dog lovers on walks and at parks."
And of course this one is a big one for sure and the last one for today…
"Pets help reduce stress and depression. When we're stressed, the levels of certain harmful chemicals rise in our bodies. Studies have shown that these levels can actually decrease after just 15 minutes of petting, cuddling, or playing with an animal."
More to come next week on additional health benefits!!

HVOF coating services
HVOF is a high pressure, high velocity thermal spray process, using liquid fuel (kerosene) and oxygen which are fed into a combustion chamber, where they are ignited and continuously combusted. The resultant hot gas at a pressure close to 1 MPa, emanates through a con - verging – diverging nozzle and trav - els through a straight section. The jet velocity at the exit of the barrel (>1000 m/s) exceeds the speed of sound. A powder feed stock is injected into the gas stream, which accelerates the powder up to 800 m/s. The stream of hot gas and powder is directed towards the surface to be coated. The powder partially melts in the stream, and deposits upon the substrate. The resulting coating consists of thin overlapping plate - lets, has low porosity and high bond strength

We're told again and again that we have to be selfish about our own recovery, but this seems to be in conflict with the fact that selfishness is the root of our problem. How can selfishness be both good and bad?
The selfishness we need for recovery is a devotion to self-improvement, rather than the selfish indulgence that made us sick. One is a giving of ourselves, the other is frantic taking that leads to destruction. The person who seeks self-improvement is competing only against his or her former self. The sick brand of selfishness, on the other hand, is usually involved in unhealthy competition with others.
There is an easy way to test whether our selfishness is the right kind. If our conduct leads to long-term happiness and higher self-esteem, it is probably right. If it harms us or others, something is wrong. We can correct this by getting back to the basics of the program and pursuing self- improvement rather than self-indulgence.
Just for today: I will take part only in that which will obviously benefit everyone. I will not put my own concerns ahead of others; but at the same time, I will not let others take advantage of me.

Life insurance scheme results in charges for alleged perpetratorsPosted On Tue, July 31, 2012
Seven people in Louisiana were recently charged with engaging in life insurance fraud, with possible prison time and or fines if they are found guilty.
In a release, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana Donald J. Cazayuox, Jr. said that his office was charging Timothy R. Schlatre, 34, with mail fraud, money laundering and asset forfeiture. He is accused of being of ring leader of a scheme to defraud insurance firms out of money by handing out policies based false information. The government prosecutor said that based on his position as an agent for both Lincoln Financial and New York Life he was able to illegally collect commissions on fraudulent policies.
"This investigation should be a clear reminder that federal law enforcement's reach into white collar crime extends beyond traditional health care, investment and corporate fraud to bring those responsible to justice," stated FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Michael J. Anderson.
Schlatre faces up to 30 years in prison and fines of as much as $500,000 if convicted of the fraud. In addition, accomplices Jason Paul Austin, Jodi Marie Austin, Ricky Austin, Jimmy Cassels, Todd Cummings and Dena Gaudet, each face up to 5 years behind bars and or a quarter million dollar fine.
People place a great deal of trust in agents in order to get accurate insurance quotes. Often, coverage will vary depending on the person's health and other factors.

The leader in home ventilation, BROAN offers the broadest line of kitchen ventilation products in Canada, providing choices, style, value and a name you can trust.
BROAN offers the widest variety of ventilation fans in the industry. For the latest high-performance, ENERGY STAR® qualified solution to today's green building requirements, or ultra quiet operation for a comfortable environment, BROAN offers stylish options to fit any situation from a retrofit to a new build out.

It enhances your home's environment by improving indoor air quality and reducing noise while providing exceptionally clean carpets and other surfaces. Now cleaning can be accomplished while the baby is sleeping or the family is enjoying their favorite television show.
As the expert in Balanced Ventilation Systems for residential construction, BROAN sets the bar in standards of innovation and excellence. We are continually seeking ways to provide the best quality, technology, style and care to our customers.
Air in your attic can reach 65°C during the summer, warming your home, increasing the load on your air conditioner, and adding to your energy bill. In winter, ice dams can result from poor ventilation, and moist air in the home can condense on attic surfaces causing mildew, rotting wood and wet insulation. BROAN has the solution!
Designed with the installer in mind, Broan's attractive thermostats fit any decor and are ideal for controlling electrical baseboard heating systems or wall heaters with a 10°C to 30°C control range. Factory pre-stripped leads for easier installation, streamlined bi-metallic sensing strip allowing for more finger room for the installer and quadrex mounting screws all lend themselves to fast and easy installation.
Attic ventilation is essential in making any home more comfortable
while lowering energy costs.
Attic ventilation is essential in making any home more comfortable while lowering energy costs. Air-conditioners can run less and won't have to work as hard. Humid, stagnant air can be removed, drawing fresh dry air across the surfaces. Your attic can be drier and cooler–the perfect tools to help fight potential moisture damage. Attics get hot because your roof takes the full brunt of the Sun's energy. As the Sun beats down on your roof, the shingles heat up reaching temperatures up to 65°C. This heat is transferred through the shingles, to the roof deck, to the lumber and rafters, and to anything else inside the attic. All of these materials will absorb and radiate the heat.
Keeping your house cool can be a real challenge when your attic is too hot. The heat from the attic can find its way through the insulation or the A/C duct work to your living space, causing your air-conditioning system to run longer and work harder.
By lowering the attic temperature, you can save money on your cooling expenses. The exact savings depends on several factors such as the color of your roof, whether the home is shaded, the amount of attic insulation, and the efficiency of your cooling system. One scientific study conducted in Florida showed that powered attic ventilation resulted in a 6% reduction in annual home cooling system requirements.
Properly vented attics help prevent the formation of ice dams, which results in less damage to the interior of the house and longer lasting roofs. When heat from your home escapes into the attic, that heat can melt snow on the roof. This water flows down the roof, under the snow, onto the eave and gutter, where cold temperatures cause it to freeze. Eventually, ice accumulates and prevents additional snow melt from draining; it then backs up under the roof covering, resulting in leaks, damaged ceilings, walls, roof structure and insulation. Powered Attic ventilation helps maintain an even temperature throughout the attic, preventing hot and cold spots that can lead to ice dams.
Of all the reasons to ventilate an attic the most important is to preserve the structural integrity of the roof. At all times during the year, heat and moisture accumulate in every attic. When left uncontrolled, excess heat and moisture can result in significant damage to the roof and structure–reducing normal life expectancy. Proper ventilation validates some shingle manufacturers' warranty and protects the investment in your home.
Cool evening air can create condensation that collects on insulation and wood during the summer. In the winter, moisture escaping from the home's living space can condense in the attic on wood and insulation, which can lead to damaging rot and costly repairs. Wet insulation loses its effectiveness and can cultivate mold or mildew, cause stains or crumbled ceilings. A properly ventilated attic helps remove harmful moisture.
