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

[boomboom6]

Really dont understand why Sami keeps playing slog sweep, such a risky shot which hes likely to throw his wicket away to,

it's because he doesn't have any other release shot to get to the other end.

 

[Hawkeye]

SHOTTT SAMI !!!!

What a straight drive with a straight bat against Starc.

 

[JaDed]

Starc should be removed,good shot Sami

 

[boomboom6]

first real convincing shot from Sami tonight

 

[shariqnoor]

If i had a child who wanted to be a batsman, I would ensure that he NEVER watches Sami Aslam. Sami is the complete antithesis to how cricket needs to be played in this day and age. He takes the game nowhere with his stoic and meaningless batting. His 4 off 50 balls start would mean something if this guy takes advantage of having blunt the new ball and then amps it up against the old ball with tired bowlers. Instead he would slow down even more as the day goes on. Extremely limited batsman.

 

[Bilal7]

FROM WHENCE IT CAME! Yeah, Sami! MashAllah!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot. Excellent batting against quality bowling by these youngsters

 

[Markhor]

Lovely shot down the ground.

 

[Hawkeye]

FROM WHENCE IT CAME! Yeah, Sami! MashAllah!

What's more fun?

Watching Sami get on Aus nerves or making the clueless PPers cry who have no idea of Test cricket?

 

[Big Mac]

That's beautifully timed, that straightish on-drive shows a batsman's class more than any other shot I reckon.

 

[Markhor]

Given this is the first time we've batted against the pink ball in a Test in Australia, a little caution is understandable.

Must not lose any wickets before close.

Shame on you for oppressing your children.

 

[boomboom6]

Azam goes at the wrong time, collapse on!

 

[Hawkeye]

BABAR!!

What have you done?

This guy seriously LACKS DISCIPLINE. Otherwise good.

 

[Junaids]

As I wrote earlier, Babar has to learn to leave those wide ones.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

And Babar throws it away

Poor poor shot !! I hope the T20 specialists wanting to see some aggressive cricket are happy now

 

[imshally81]

 

[Markhor]

Loose from Babar.

 

[Bilal7]

Nooooo! Babar, come on, yaar.

 

[Junaids]

Younis Khan.

Chance to threaten Salman Butt's record as Pakistan GOAT batsman in Australia.

 

[Aman]

Once Babar gets rid of those brain farts, he'll become unstoppable like Kohli.

 

[Red Devil]

Totally unnecessary, they were going so well.

 

[boomboom6]

And Babar throws it away

Poor poor shot !! I hope the T20 specialists wanting to see some aggressive cricket are happy now

lack of footwork did him in, that was a nothing delivery.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

BABAR!!

What have you done?

This guy seriously LACKS DISCIPLINE. Otherwise good.

His discipline is better than his other renowned cousin.

Umar Akmal.

 

[yasir]

Really poor stuff from Babar, when you guys have weather the Strac, Storm why give it up

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Poor from Babar. Lost his concentration. Still needs to improve in that regard and we needed him to stay there since he is our best batsman.

 

[Hamza_]

Can't believe people here criticizing Sami here. Any other Pakistani opener would have been back to hut by now

 

[jog_1]

Collapse.

 

[leatherface58]

WOW! Younis "Better than Dravid and Tendulkar" Khan gone for a duck. )

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Younis )

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

So I guess Younis cannot stake claim to the being the GOAT Pakistani Batsman ahead of Butt

 

[Red Devil]

Oh God.

 

[Mir jibran]

oh no yk

 

[boomboom6]

hah ... game over. YK's on his last legs unfortunately.

 

[imshally81]

wow oh wow

 

[Junaids]

Now 11 failures in 12 innings outside Asia for Younis Khan in the last five months.

How is he selectable?

 

[Ankit007]

Damn... couldnt see younis dance today....

 

[Aman]

YK out first ball

I called Pakistan being 5 down by stumps in the first session..

 

[Hawkeye]

Shame on you for oppressing your children.

He must be ashamed now, having a change of heart in a matter of minutes.
[MENTION=141811]shariqnoor[/MENTION] will make sure the kids learn no proper cricket.

 

[Bilal7]

No worries, it was a great delivery. You have not seen the last of Younis Khan, Aussies.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sami playing really well. Yes he can improve but these T20 fans need to stop crying

 

[Big Mac]

Goddammit.

 

[yasir]

Now the collapse

 

[castortroy]

And some of you thought we would challenge Australia

None of these games will go beyond 4 days

 

[boomboom6]

1-0 Aus.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

ATG goes for a golden one )

 

[Markhor]

A lot of people were saying Hazlewood is the bowler we'd struggle against the most.

Such a shame as we were going reasonably well with Aslam and Babar.

 

[PakLFC]

Babar and Younis both gone at the blink of an eyelid. We'll be following on for sure. This match won't last until day five. It's been a disastrous tour of Australia and New Zealand it seems. We can only play in the subcontinent and UAE. I am gonna slit my wrists now!!

 

[leatherface58]

Channel 9 commentators with their verbal diarrhoea good grief

 

[Hamza_]

Shameful stuff.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cant see YK lasting to many more games now!

 

[Aman]

Low class comment about Misbah by Ian Healy.

 

[transitional]

so predictable

 

[Aman]

Ian Healy must be the most biased commentator in the world..

 

[boomboom6]

and predictably scoreboard going no where ... typical. oh well I'm out!

 

[Big Mac]

Low class comment about Misbah by Ian Healy.

What did he say? I was too busy banging my head against the table.

 

[sandsaims]

Ian Healy is probably the worst commentator.

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Low class comment about Misbah by Ian Healy.

What did he say ?

 

[transitional]

A fighting 50 by Babar or Sarfaraz, pak get 150 to 250, Aussies win by 250 odd

Fans discuss whom to retire and whom to play in 2020-21

 

[Junaids]

It's not fair on Younis and Misbah.

Those of us in Australia know that at their age Australia is Mission Impossible.

They might be foolish enough to think that at their age they can do what a younger Sachin could not. Or anyone else over 40. From Cowdrey to Gooch.

But the selectors should have known better.

 

[Aman]

No worries, it was a great delivery. You have not seen the last of Younis Khan, Aussies.

The Aussies probably hope you're right.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Low class comment about Misbah by Ian Healy.

what did he say ??

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Low class comment about Misbah by Ian Healy.

What did he say?

 

[Aman]

What did he say ?

Something about Misbah giving his walking stick to the umpire (he was taking an age to face up to the hat trick ball).

 

[mz123]

Low class comment about Misbah by Ian Healy.

[shariqnoor]

[MENTION=141811]shariqnoor[/MENTION] will make sure the kids learn no proper cricket.

Yeah because scoring at a strike rate of 20 is the only proper test match cricket way. Rotation of the strike is so not Test match cricket.

 

[Big Mac]

Just a hunch but something tells me people might want to know what Healy said.

Something about Misbah giving his walking stick to the umpire (he was taking an age to face up to the hat trick ball).

Oh that's just a harmless joke. Nothing to get worked up over.

 

[mz123]

Something about Misbah giving his walking stick to the umpire (he was taking an age to face up to the hat trick ball).

oh god

 

[Junaids]

YK out first ball

I called Pakistan being 5 down by stumps in the first session..

I said 95-6 and that you would miss lower order runs from Yamin and Hasan Ali tomorrow.

 

[CricketBuff]

Cant see YK lasting to many more games now!

He should have retired gracefully by now.

 

[Hawkeye]

His discipline is better than his other renowned cousin.

Umar Akmal.

Umar already hit a ton against the best fast bowler of that time, in alien conditions.

You don't do that with indiscipline. He should've been given a proper chance in Tests.

 

[yasir]

Let them keep playing till 2020, come on Younis ha like 11 failures in 12 innings outside Asia. And most of the time, new ball is seen off by Sami and Azhar. What is his excuse??

 

[abhayjj]

Babar "Virat" Azam & Younis "Sachin" Khan both gone

 

[leatherface58]

Ian Healy must be the most biased commentator in the world..

He is not only biased, he is low quality as well. But Channel 9 is in the pits like most others. Sky is probably the best of the bunch but even they have some duds like Botham.

People mistake Boycott's savage criticism for bias when he is savage to everyone. Healy is just complete crap.

 

[Bilal7]

Something about Misbah giving his walking stick to the umpire (he was taking an age to face up to the hat trick ball).

It was in reference to him using his bat as a walking stick (he was padding the pitch down).

 

[mayankp.sverige]

End is very near for Younis. I hope he gets the 10000 runs soons and then retire.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Unless we get some sort of miracle hundred from sami or Misbah we are dead and buried here.

 

[karthikc]

He is not only biased, he is low quality as well. But Channel 9 is in the pits like most others. Sky is probably the best of the bunch but even they have some duds like Botham.

People mistake Boycott's savage criticism for bias when he is savage to everyone. Healy is just complete crap.

Does Henry Blofield commentate nowadays?? He must be very old now..

 

[Bilal7]

What? Misbah likes to score quickly? Can be very dominating? Yeah, thanks for that, Warne.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol Younis bhai. Ye kya kia?
