They'll probably set the game up so that the odds are overwhelmingly on them winning it and then lose the game

Pakistan vs Australia

Well done pakis! Hope this is not a flash in the pan performance.
+1 They need to build a 100 lead after this bowling performance

In theory yes, but Pakistan batting can be very fragile at times

As you were saying....
Australia 253 all out
Pakistan 148 all out
Australia have a 105 run first innings lead.

Afridi what an idiot, although he did play an innings Killa favours quickfire 20 or 30 then get out and put your team in even more trouble
I am not sure what game you are talking about, what was the run rate needed? Would they have won if he never went out?
Oh come, you know very well that you are always on about how certain batsmen are so slow.
Afridi came in with his side at 80 odd for 5 plus him being the captain - ridiculous

O for the test, yes certain batsmen are slow in pro 20, i don't want to get into it but when you watch the run rate climb from 8 to 15 your going slow
Depends on the situation, in that situation he should have blocked and plodded singles but just like kallis cannot cope with pro 20 afridi is not a 5 day batsmen, boom boom in all formats.
Ah this old argument again. Afridi averages almost 40 in tests way above his ODI average. This whole "not suited for..." line doesnt wash
Yep the lead is 280 now, which is to much, darn - really thought we would get an Australian loss

Nope, i hope AUS take it.
I used to support 2 teams, SA and whoever plays against AUS, but in recent years this has changes (maybe due to fact that they are now human, and can actually lose).
PAK on the other hand has fans like JK8 (well, Pakistan, India, Sri-Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan [did i miss someone JK8?]), who - after 12 defeats in a row? - still think their team is the best thing since sliced bread.
Then again, Pakistan probably have the most arrogant cricket players, and unfortunately a keeper that seems to not be able to close his mouth (literally)
GO AUS.
But seriously a Paki team on a good day can beat anyone!! Its just that they so unpredictable... makes it fun to support them, its very rare that they come close to a win, they either trample over you or lose in the worst possible way

thats true
as unpredictable as the flight path of Jabulani
or wait: as unpredictable as Pakistan cricket !
Fair point but an Australian series loss would have lost them quite a few ranking points which would have taken them some time to get back
Well unfortunately this will always happen no matter the result when it comes to sub-continent teams - so no way around it im afraid
