T20 World Cup Semi Aus vs. Pak

8/3/2019 T20 World Cup Semi Aus vs. Pak

1/4

Hussey let out a roar of joy as he hit that shot. Waqar Younis hung his head

down. Joy and sorrow overlap on the field.

It has been said before but it's worth repeating here. John Arlott had written

about it in 1948 at the end of a successful tour of England by Don Bradman's

men. ""Australianism," wrote Arlott, "means single-minded determination towin - to win within the laws but, if necessary, to the last limit within them. It

means where the 'impossible' is within the realm of what the human body

can do, there are Australians who believe that they can do it - and who have

succeeded often enough to make us wonder if anything is impossible to

them. It means they have never lost a match - particularly a Test match -

until the last run is scored or their last wicket down."

Spare a thought for Pakistan, though. What guts they showed. What a game

they played. Yet they lost.

Pasted from

Afridi: "It was a very good total. The way the White and Hussey played .. they

played mature and good innings. We perhaps lost it in the last over. Ajmal

has bowled really well in this tournament ... Kamran and Salman gave us a

good start and Umar then played really well."

Clarke: "Michael Hussey is absolute freak. He and White played superbly.Once Cameron got out I thought It was going to be really tough but with

Hussey in you never know. We thoughts if we have wicketrs in hand we can

chase. BUt after losing three quick wickets, I thought it was going to be

difficult. People will enjoy our win today and I can't wait to get to Barbados! I

need some runs. I do."

Hussey: "By the end there I was just swinging hard as I could every ball. I

can't believe we have won the game. This is the best feeling of my career.

White played well. Pakistan played really well, I wasn't sure whether we

would do it. This game continues to amaze. This is the best feeling in my

career. I can't explain it. "

And that's it from us. Thanks for logging on. Good bye and good luck.

2/4

Michael Hussey has played like a dream. Whaddaplaayaaaa! He finished the

game with yet another big hit. This is the Twenty20 innings of his lifetime.

And what a way to finish it in style. He cleared the front foot and swung the

ball over long-on. The while ball disappeared beyond the boundary. The

Australian dug out erupted in joy. The Pakistani camp is stunned. U N B E L I E

V A B L E. Hussey is mobbed by his team-mates. Clarke envelops him with ahug. The entire squad is out there on the ground. Take a bow Michael

Hussey. Respect.

19.4

Saeed Ajmal to MEK Hussey, FOUR, 65.5 mph, Absolutely crunched! And the

scores are level! Unbelievable scenes here. Michael Hussey you beauty! What

immense drama here. It was a length delivery outside off stump, Huseey

slashed out at it and edges it past backward point fielder . IT went over the

leaping fielder. It was that close. It was that dramatic.

19.3

Saeed Ajmal to MEK Hussey, SIX, 70.7 mph, OMG! It's a six! Fabulicious! What

on his knee to swing it over long-on for a glorious six!

19.2

Saeed Ajmal to MEK Hussey, SIX, 62.1 mph, What a thunderous wallop.

Whaddaplayyyaaa! Ajmal drops it short and Hussey waits before he plays a

crunching pull shot. IT's a six!

18.6

Mohammad Aamer to MEK Hussey, FOUR, 88.7 mph, Very important delivery

in the context of the game and Hussey keeps Australia alive with a four. It


3/4

was the low dipping full toss, attempted yorker, .. Hussey had moved down

the track, collected it on the full and dragged it to left of deep midwicket ..

Mis bah rushes and throws in a dive but ends up dragging the ball with him

over the boundary/.

18.5

Mohammad Aamer to MEK Hussey, 2 runs, 90.4 mph, backs away even as he

gets down the track and drives to right of Umar at long-off. Two more.

18.4

Mohammad Aamer to MEK Hussey, 2 runs, 88.2 mph, Kamran is screaming

away out there..he wants the throw ...this one was heaved away towards

long-on .. and they will take the second run. Pretty comfortable run actually.

18.3

Mohammad Aamer to MEK Hussey, 2 leg byes, 81.8 mph, tries to repeat the

paddle shot that he attempted the first ball .. this time he doesn't connect

properly.. the ball rolls away to third man ..

18.2

Mohammad Aamer to MEK Hussey, 2 runs, 88.0 mph, full pitched outside off,

driven to Umar at long-off .. they turn for the second run. Umar fires the

throw to Aamer who breaks the stumps. The call is referred upstairs. Mitch

dives to get back in the crease in time.

18.1

Mohammad Aamer to MEK Hussey, FOUR, 88.4 mph, Four of the first ball.

Hussey leans across, waits for the fulll ball to arrive and paddles it to the fine-

to heave it to the on side but doesn't connect. A leg bye will give him the

strike though

17.5


4/4

Saeed Ajmal to MEK Hussey, 2 runs, 69.7 mph, really full delivery, squeezed

out to the empty spaces in midwicket. They run really hard. And will collect

two runs.

Ian: "Kamran Akmal has come a long way to answer his critics on his

glovework. It's been excellent, and in terms of attitude and character he'sright in the middle of the action like all wickies should be. Add to that

excellent 50 and he is probably looking at Man of the Match too, if Pakistan

win."

17.4

Saeed Ajmal to MEK Hussey, SIX, 67.3 mph, Ajmal drifts to the leg side and

Hussey jumps at the opportunity. He was well inside the crease and swings it

over backward square-leg boundary

17.3

Saeed Ajmal to Johnson, 1 leg bye, 70.9 mph, on the middle and leg line, rolls

away to the leg side

17.2

Saeed Ajmal to Johnson, FOUR, 57.9 mph, he slows up the pace .. flights it

outside off, Mitch waits on the front foot and crashes it really hard to the

midwicket boundary

17.1

Saeed Ajmal to Smith, OUT, 57.1 mph, Ajmal can be such a difficult bowler to

get away in these circumstances. Those tantalizing doosras. It landed on the

middle stump line, Smith was down the track and actually tried to loft it over

the off-side which perhaps indicates that he thought it might be the doosra.

But no wood on leather. The ball goes past the flashing blade and to Kamran

Akmal who very calmly takes off the bails. Ajmal celebrates. What a lovely

delivery

SPD Smith st Kamran Akmal b Saeed Ajmal 5 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 125.00
