Pakistan is in Australia, I think for a 3 ODI series only...

[GarlicJam]

I think his highest is 23 (I checked to make sure he had not hit a fifty), so there must be a lot of not outs.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yes, no 50s at senior level.

Bowling isn't going any better. Time to mow the lawn.

Pakistan, fresh from an all over domination of Australia two days ago, have started off well after sending Aus in to bat.

I haven't seen either dismissal (or heard), but I have heard a bit of the first 7 overs. The opening pacers are getting plenty of movement I hear.

Aus currently doing better than 2 days ago - 2 down for up to 48 now.

[GarlicJam]

looks like another Pakistan walloping of Australia is on the cards.

Aus currently 6/113 off 26 overs. With Cooper Connolly taken to hospital for scans on a hand injury from a Hasnain delivery, they are effectively 7 down.

Pakistan fast bowlers doing the job again.

Another one goes while writing. This match has none of Aus' test players playing, so it is a major upheaval in team balance, but it doesn't excuse these poor results.

[GarlicJam]

Well done Pakistan. They gave Australia a good butt kicking.

2 great results for Pk in a month.

I reckon there have been at least equal number of fans for both sides - but Pakistan fans are very enthusiastic, and their team did very well for 2.5 games of the 3, so they seemed to dominate Aus fans in number.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Left armer called Johnson. Might give England nightmares.

[GarlicJam]

oh, and I found out today that there is also a 3xT20i match series.

Pakistan will start on a high, and Aus will be without all of their test players again, of course.

1st T20 has just started...7 overs a side due to the rain

yet Pakistan managed to lose 9 wickets in the unsuccessful chase.

Maxwell finally got one back on Rauf (after Rauf got him 3 out of 3 in the ODI series - 2 ducks), hitting 40something from around 17 balls.

It really was a poorer version of the poorer version of cricket.

2nd T20 tonight, Aus batting first.

1st 50 runs took 3.1 overs (no wickets). Next 50 runs took 10.1 overs (4 wickets).

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like heading for a tight finish. Johnson 2 has 3-21.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yes, looks like a decent finish. 5-fer for Johnson.

A bit of a damp squib, the T20 series, after the excitement of the ODI series. Pakistan hardly fired a shot.
