Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test | Brisbane | Dec 15-19, 2016 | Day 2

[Zeshan547]

Just hope this last wicket partnership don't ruin all the good work,

 

[boomboom6]

Amir should come around the wicket

Have been thinking the same and bowl it full on off stump.

 

[Thivagar]

Warne has big problems with it

Saw him and Healy moan. I understood what Misbah was trying to do but then again, I didn't see how he bowled yesterday or how he bowled a bit earlier. Saw Yasir asking for another fielder on the off as well. Then again, if that was a clever plan by Misbah, Yasir should have had more wickets; did see 2 catches being dropped off him though.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

C'mon Amir. Fivefer for the taking. Finish this ASAP guys.

 

[QalandarFan]

Bowl a Quick Yorker!

 

[QalandarFan]

Yaar!!! This is getting frustrating!

 

[Junaids]

First ever score of 400 in a Pink Ball Test in Australia at the ninth attempt.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir will get a wicket in this over if he goes around the wicket

 

[Romali_rotti]

Good god Waqar's english is horrible, just terrible, it seems like he just learned how to speak. Rambo would have been a real good Pakistani commentator for this series. I dont understand why Waqar struggles so much with his english, Saqlain could not speak a word of it and after a few county seasons he sounds like a full on POM............

 

[Mir jibran]

frustration

 

[QalandarFan]

AH!!!! Pitch it up!! This is a prime opportunity to take a fivefer you can't let it slip!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

No no no Amir

 

[Big Mac]

No, just no. Ramiz is a terrible commentator for EVERY series.

The only good Pakistani commentator is Bazid Khan.

 

[spade]

Well bowled by pak in the second morning also just goes on to show how ordinary this Australian line up is. Still it would be an achievement if Pakistan can avoid a follow on in the first test.

 

[Waqarkhan]

Just one good yorker needed

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Still over the wicket...

 

[QalandarFan]

Yaar, should've bowled a Yorker to Lyon from over the wicket!

 

[Junaids]

Every extra over means that the ball will be newer when the lights come on.....

If the last wicket fell now, the ball would be 20 overs old after Dinner.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

No, just no. Ramiz is a terrible commentator for EVERY series.

The only good Pakistani commentator is Bazid Khan.

Agree with his. Bazid is excellent

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Yaar Amir..............Feel like Wahab is gonna get the fifer..............He often bowls yorkers to tailenders.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Every extra over means that the ball will be newer when the lights come on.....

If the last wicket fell now, the ball would be 20 overs old after Dinner.

It's not just about the newness of the ball. The batsmen have a chance to get set now before the lights come on

 

[Madplayer]

Tailenders smacking amir. It would be a shame if Pak batsmen dont turn up today.

 

[QalandarFan]

Wahab from around the wicket. Well the main objective is picking up a wicket, would really like Amir to get the fivefer though!

 

[Romali_rotti]

No, just no. Ramiz is a terrible commentator for EVERY series.

The only good Pakistani commentator is Bazid Khan.

Atleast Rambo's english is good, his choice of sentences may be suspect but he is one of my favourite commentators. 'That is a magnificent blow'

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yaar Amir..............Feel like Wahab is gonna get the fifer..............He often bowls yorkers to tailenders.

Who caress who gets the fifer? They both deserve it. I don't care if it's a run out just get the last wicket

 

[QalandarFan]

What in the world is going on?

 

[boomboom6]

some really ordinary bowling by Amir & Riaz after the 9th wicket went down.

 

[arehaan]

Stop this rubbish Misbah records are not important

 

[Madplayer]

Turning into a nightmare now.

 

[Suleiman]

Oh my God...

Runs leaking faster than Shahryar Khan's quotes.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

So frustrating

 

[QalandarFan]

MY WORD!!!! Edged for four!

 

[arehaan]

Misbah is bowling tired bowlers for their records

 

[sjahmed23]

Seriously? every freaking time you start to feel good about the bowling this happens. Shades of 2010 here

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

If Azhar and Sami don't score on this wicket............................

 

[QalandarFan]

Why is no one bowling a Yorker???

 

[Big Mac]

Atleast Rambo's english is good, his choice of sentences may be suspect but he is one of my favourite commentators. 'That is a magnificent blow'

It doesn't matter how good his English is when he doesn't use that vocabulary to say anything useful. Complete waste of air time.

Need to take these two off, I know they want a five-for but they're tired and bowling complete filth. Time for the main man to come back on and finish this off

 

[Madplayer]

There is no plan at all. Where is the short leg and the bouncers on that line??? Thats the most common way of getting tailenders out on bouncy pitches. What rubbish is this strategy???

 

[QalandarFan]

What a joke a 34 Run last Wicket partnership!

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

These last 30-40 runs are gonna hurt us badly.

 

[Shafi]

Even Australian last pair is better than our last four combine

 

[QalandarFan]

What no Amir!

 

[Aviator]

Our bowlers are utter garbage when it comes to bowling out tail enders...

 

[leatherface58]

Yasir getting this much bounce is not good for Pakistan when Lyon comes on to bowl.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Looks like no one's getting the fifer

 

[Madplayer]

I'm telling you it has started to turn. Australia's second innings will be crucial if Pakistan get close to this total.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Yasir getting this much bounce is not good for Pakistan when Lyon comes on to bowl.

Lyon is gonna get spanked badly.

 

[Madplayer]

These last 30-40 runs are gonna hurt us badly.

It was already going to be a nightmare when they crossed 350. The only hope is that this pitch is quite flat.

 

[Big Mac]

Even Australian last pair is better than our last four combine

The real problem is they're better than our top four as well

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh looks close!

 

[Big Mac]

I'm telling you it has started to turn. Australia's second innings will be crucial if Pakistan get close to this total.

Haha good one

 

[Madplayer]

Our bowlers are utter garbage when it comes to bowling out tail enders...

I think england are the best when it comes to getting tail enders out quickly.

 

[Mir jibran]

oh plz get this last wkt asap

 

[QalandarFan]

Yasir getting this much bounce is not good for Pakistan when Lyon comes on to bowl.

Lyon, will get thrashed. No need to worry about him.

 

[QalandarFan]

Ah, Umpires Call!

 

[boomboom6]

a competent tail showing its value ... crucial runs which are adding to our misery

 

[Madplayer]

Haha good one

I ammended my statement a bit now

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

It was already going to be a nightmare when they crossed 350. The only hope is that this pitch is quite flat.

350 is a par score on this pitch. And the pitch is a belter once you get your eye in.

 

[boomboom6]

Lyon, will get thrashed. No need to worry about him.

Nathan Hauritz clowned us in 2009/10.

 

[Xoib]

I think england are the best when it comes to getting tail enders out quickly.

Indian lower order has pummeled them to all part this series.

 

[Madplayer]

a competent tail showing its value ... crucial runs which are adding to our misery

Its not a competent tail. They are nobodies. Its incompetence on part of Pakistan bowlers. There is no plan.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Nathan Hauritz clowned us in 2009/10.

Wake up dude its 2016.

Amir, Asif and Salman got banned in 2010.

 

[Waqarkhan]

I dont know what is going on in tiny brain of wahab

 

[The Paradox]

When it comes to bowling out tailenders and how they generally bowl to them, Rahat, Amir and Wahab must be our dumbest bowlers in that regard in our cricketing history

This is just awful

 

[Madplayer]

Indian lower order has pummeled them to all part this series.

Yes but they generally are quite good.

 

[arehaan]

So pak will get new ball under lights

 

[JaDed]

I think england are the best when it comes to getting tail enders out quickly.

They have been terrible in 4 matches in India till now,lets see how 5th goes.

 

[Madplayer]

350 is a par score on this pitch. And the pitch is a belter once you get your eye in.

I know . but remember we are talking about Pakistani batting here. They can surprise us in good or bad ways.

 

[Xoib]

you know you are allowed to bowl a yorker in test cricket.

 

[Belawal2014]

I'm going to go play a game of CS:GO and if I come back and these two are still playing...

 

[Big Mac]

Its not a competent tail. They are nobodies. Its incompetence on part of Pakistan bowlers. There is no plan.

The plan is to let them both score hundreds so they're knackered when it's their turn to bowl.

It's genius.

 

[boomboom6]

Its not a competent tail. They are nobodies. Its incompetence on part of Pakistan bowlers. There is no plan.

Starc avgs. 23, Hazlewood 16, Lyon 14, and Bird is showing he is no mug with the bat either. Far better then our sitting ducks.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Our lot is probably the dumbest of all test playing nations

Plus it doesn't help that we have dehati selectors and people running PCB

 

[Madplayer]

They have been terrible in 4 matches in India till now,lets see how 5th goes.

I know but they are generally good.

 

[Waqarkhan]

Pakistan always finds a way to torture us

 

[Madplayer]

Starc avgs. 23, Hazlewood 16, Lyon 14, and Bird is showing he is no mug with the bat either. Far better then our sitting ducks.

I was talking about bird and lyon who are actually scoring these runs. They havent done much and never look competent with the bat. The other tailenders like starc and hazelwood who are good didnt score much today.

 

[JaDed]

I know but they are generally good.

True but again they good in swinging/seaming conditions not in flat/slow/turning situations.England is dependent on Broad imo,they come into play when he is in form as its hard to pick his cutters.

 

[Madplayer]

Part timer on.

 

[Bilal7]

We will score all of the runs.

If only our own [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] had the optimism of the Avengers' Hawkeye.

Next question: Can our openers outscore Australia's closers?

 

[Madplayer]

True but again they good in swinging/seaming conditions not in flat/slow/turning situations.England is dependent on Broad imo,they come into play when he is in form as its hard to pick his cutters.

True. But i think its generally hard to get indian tailenders out in India. Every team finds it hard.
