You know it's a terrible run if Akmal can complete a run out in time.

*Official* Match 40 - Australia v Pakistan

Not a very well judged single at all there, Misbah with a very quick release, and Pakistan have looked sharp. Getting themselves in a bit of a hole here the Aussies, huge partnership now between Clarke and Hussey, lose another quick one and this game could already have drifted away from them.

Personally think Afridi should just go on the attack a little more, there are plenty of singles around for Hussey and Clarke to milk, and to attempt to re-build this innings. Would certainly get more men in the circle and not allow the easy ones down the ground with Hussey on strike. Try to force Hussey and Clarke into a mistake by having to go over the top, dry up these easy ones and twos. If they do get a few boundaries away, then drop one or two back, but this period could be very comfortable for these two Aussie batsmen.

You, me, Prince EWS, Burgey on the selection panel imo.
It's so sad watching this game. Utterly predictable, and it sucks not being able to do anything about it.
I can only hope that the viewing public realise what's going on, and the pressure for change comes through, because this is horrible.

Clarke sold White a dummy there but still you would expect a better effort from White, he was hardly backing up and he didn't even bring out a dive in the end.
Btw, have everybody in the Australian team taken some sort of an oath that they won't use their feet against spin, allowing Hafeez to bowl his 10 for 2.6 is just atrocious to say the very least.

Haddin blocking his deliveries straight back to him for four out of six balls was truly atrocious.
Guy bowled well but not that ****ing well
Simply playing block after block wouldnt be tolerated for long in 4 day cricket let alone in an ODI

Poor stuff from the Aussies here, lack of intent throughout the innings not putting any pressure back onto the bowlers. Well bowled Hafeez, but am amazed this Aussie line-up allowed him to bowl his ten overs for 26 runs.
Long way back here for Australia, you would think.

Well if we had spin bowlers playing 4 day cricket in Australia then it certainly would have helped.
Anyways... time for Smith to prove of some use....

Aussies in trouble now, a win is important as you wouldn't really want a quarter with India.
