When Brad Hogg (today's oldest player) made his first-class debut, Bilawal Bhatti (today's youngest player) was just 2 years old. #WT20
— Freddie Wilde (@fwildecricket) March 23, 2014
Looks like its Australia batting first. Or maybe its Pakistan. Buggered if we can tell them apart in those kits #wt20

Where is Adnan Akmal when you need a family photograph

The Cover fielder stopping Umar Akmal shots better be careful. For, he is known to slap persons stopping his drive. #TrafficWardenGate

Two akmals on the ground means butterfinger osmosis. Not even the Aussies able to catch anything now. #superpower

The curse of copying our jersey colors is that you get the (mis) fielding germs free #PakvsAus #nootherexplanation

The clever thing about bowling deliveries that are hit for six is that it eliminates Bailey's problem of where to hide 5 terrible fielders.
— Dan Liebke (@LiebCricket) March 23, 2014
Australia are like panthers in the field. Old, creaking panthers. #WT20

Why is Brad Hogg not bouncing his grandchildren on his knee?
— Ritesh Banglani (@banglani) March 23, 2014
Next the Aussies will drop Umar Akmal of a wide delivery #wt20 #PakvsAus
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) March 23, 2014
Australia have finally taken a catch. And it's Kamran Akmal. Irony died laughing.
— Sidvee (@sidvee) March 23, 2014
Umar Akmal batting on a splendid 76. Afridi walks in and gives him a long lecture. What a guy.
— Sidvee (@sidvee) March 23, 2014
200 in sight. Individual 100 in sight. An exhibition of batting from...Pakistan...? Clearly I missed my 9am alarm and dreamed this game...
— Aatif Nawaz (@AatifNawaz) March 23, 2014
Jonty Rhodes said Aus will miss death bowler Aubrey Faulkner. I guess having been dead 83 years Aubrey Faulkner should be an expert #wt20
— Brydon Coverdale (@brydoncoverdale) March 23, 2014
Cracking innings from Umar Akmal. Wish he would chew some gum. And swap his helmet for a cap.
— Sidvee (@sidvee) March 23, 2014
The Dutch would chase this in 45 minutes.
— Jarrod Kimber (@ajarrodkimber) March 23, 2014
What's going on with the Aussies today ? Horrific fielding & bowling. Now physco batting. Come on boys, calm heads & don't panic please !!!
— Shane Warne (@warne888) March 23, 2014
That rustling noise you can hear in the background is all the England fans emerging from the woodwork for the first time in months #wt20

Glenn Maxwell could probably even get into the Netherlands side at this rate! #PAKvAUS

Bhatti Boy nailed on to have the top econ rate this tournament at 30 - even Jade couldnt top that... #wt20 #pakvaus

Five sixes and six fours. To various parts of the ground. There's some Maxwell distribution joke in there. #GeekAlert
— Sidvee (@sidvee) March 23, 2014
Glenn Maxwell can cut through a hot knife with butter.
— The Middle Stump (@TheMiddleStump) March 23, 2014
Glenn Maxwell can also kill two stones with one bird.
— The Middle Stump (@TheMiddleStump) March 23, 2014
Ajmal by name, Akmal by nature. #PAKvAUS
— Alternative Cricket (@AltCricket) March 23, 2014
Can someone let the Maxwell critics know it is safe to come back now?
— Peter Lalor (@plalor) March 23, 2014
Will George Bailey be disappointed? I doubt it. pic.twitter.com/YZEPFMTIKs

Drop the sitters, catch the blinders. Supporting Pakistan should come with a health warning. #AusvPak #WT20

150 off for 5, right up brad haddin's alley this one #wt20
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) March 23, 2014
...and this match takes another giddying turn. Holy Sachin this T20 stuff is good. #AusvPak #WT20
— Freddie Wilde (@fwildecricket) March 23, 2014
Greatest sights on earth: 1. A child tasting its first ice-cream 2. Scarlett Johansson 3. Saeed Ajmal with unbridled joy on his face!
— Alternative Cricket (@AltCricket) March 23, 2014
Bilawal Bhatti, whose only over today went for 30 runs, will bowl the last over, with 23 to defend. Perfect. https://t.co/T3BuljhsEO #wt20
— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) March 23, 2014
Only would Pakistan leave themselves a choice between a spinner & a man who's only over went for 30 to bowl the final over. #AusvPak #WT20
— Freddie Wilde (@fwildecricket) March 23, 2014
Australia's first 10 overs: 117/2 Australia's last 10 overs: 58/8 #PAKvAUS
