that's the series for Australia. 3-0! Asif top-edges when looking slog, and Haddin is not letting anybody else take it
Australia vs Pakistan, 3rd ODI at Adelaide, Jan 26 2010 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Well played and congratulations to Australia for another comfortable win - on Australia Day. Well Pakistan will know that when it comes to pure talent, they were not far off. Australia were just led by a better captain, were much more alert with the running between the wickets and in the field, and won the big moments. That's the story of Pakistan's whole tour really. Thanks for joining us, okay bye
looks to slog, misses
flatter delivery, stops and turns, defended to leg
slog-sweeps, one bounce to deep midwicket
Nathan Hauritz comes back into the attack
gets right behind the line and defends
backs away, almost plays this one on
fulltoss, hit down the ground to mid-off
runs it down to third man for a single
round the wicket goes Bollinger
yorker outside off, Ajmal misses
angled across Ajmal, who shoulders arms
Bollinger comes back
worked away off the pads for a single. Well bowled Ryan Harris, coming in for Peter Siddle who tormented Pakistan two days ago, and taking a five-for
angled down the pads, and he gets four leg-byes
full on the pads, worked away for a single
short ball, fends, misses
gets behind this full delivery and defends
Mohammad Asif to face
and Harris gets five, Rana is going for everything, doesn't connect well, and lobs it to midwicket. Harris delighted, what an effort this has been
53 off the Poweprlay. 49 off 30 required. At least one over of spin to come unless they go for Hussey. Harris to continue
turns a shortish delivery around the corner, keeps the strike
lbw appeal, but headed down the leg side, will get a leg-bye
slower ball, gives it his all, the top edge lands short of third man
It's funny how White, Watson and Clarke start laughing, then perhaps see Ponting doesn't find it amusing, so cover their faces and still have a chuckle
double miss here! It's actually funny! short ball, hit straight to White at midwicket, White goes for the underarm flick, misses, Ponting - backing up - still has Ajmal short, but misses from a metre. White sees the funny side of things, but he is covering his face while laughing. Don't want to cross the boss
just meets that ball with an open face, gets it off the middle of the bat, beats cover, and gets four, just like that
short ball, tucks him up, can't get it off the square
57 off 36, can Rana do something miraculous here?
