Australia v Pakistan | 1st test - Day 1 | MCG | 26/12/09

[Dare2Dream]

Rauf what a terrible selection, Sami over him any day. Misbah, well fawad or malik should be in the team.

Not sure about that, but you may get your wish of seeing Sami bowling all over the place and being oblidged for free boundaries in the next game. At least those who didn't want Gul to play got their wish of a fickle bowling attack.

Ajmal is no where near Kaneria in Tests, we need another spin option as backup to Kaneria. Ajmal, Afridi, Malik etc. don't cut it.

Hi CF, pretty nice day here, chilling watching cricket and learning some tunes for a gig tomorrow night. We are going well but it's pretty dull cricket so far.

it's a dull cricket

 

[saj001]

This test has draw written all over it

 

[Gollum]

Wow Katich playing Ajmal beautifully (except that miss). He is right on top of the ball when playing it. Textbook stuff.

 

[Cheguvera]

So who is a cricketing expert in your opinion? Ian Chappell is one of the best out there.

Really did you read his commentary/articles leading upto and during T20 World Cup...

I envy you bro, i think i should give up on the aus-pak series and go the durban game eng vs sa today.......

how can u say cricket is dull when you have our clowns out there making jokers and fools outta themselves?

Seems like you have given up as well? i predict a wicket for Rauf

 

[saj001]

[cricket_fever]

[saj001]

Farhat comes in

 

[cricket_fever]

You should consider moving to Canada, its 10:54pm, late but not too late

 

[Big Mac]

Yousuf so ashamed of giving Farhat the ball that he's left the field because he can't bear to watch

 

[insaaniyat]

dua wont go amiss man

It happened in NZ

 

[Gollum]

MoYo off the field. Farhat comes in to bowl.

 

[insaaniyat]

You should consider moving to Canada, its 10:54pm, late but not too late

He should move to West Coast, it is only 8pm here

 

[saj001]

Yousuf leaves the field and Akmal introduce farhat straight away

 

[cricket_fever]

Time for Watson to go

shoooo shooooo
shooooo watson shoooo

 

[Inswinger]

MoYo leaves and Kami gives Farhat the ball.

 

[tauseefm]

Umar Akmal is pathetic in the field so far

 

[Cheguvera]

Watch Imran Farhat to create a chance and only for the clowns in the field to spill it...

Umar misfields again....total duffer in the field...family trait i guess...

 

[adarsh_bang]

whoa!! what am i seeing ??? 160/0 ??? pakistan bowling ??
but dont give up guyz.. hang on in there .. back your team (ppers) its just day 1

 

[d0gers]

Yousuf off the field.. kya namaz parhne gaya hay?

 

[coy0607]

already farhat has had more turn than ajmal

 

[Gollum]

A Shane Warne pretender...action looks similar!

 

[Inswinger]

Proactive move by Kami.

 

[adarsh_bang]

shoooo shooooo
shooooo watson shoooo

apparently this is not working on watson sis

 

[tauseefm]

MoYo leaves and Kami gives Farhat the ball.

Sensible move by Kami which shows he could be proactive rather then a script follower

 

[Cheguvera]

watson not comfortable against Farhat...

 

[cricket_fever]

It happened in NZ

the it can happen in Aus as well.....tell u what i made dua for it back then

 

[adarsh_bang]

so who's playing among malik and faisal iqbal ???

 

[taaveez]

seeing farhat, Kaneria would have had Watson 30 overs ago

 

[Cheguvera]

Yousuf off the field.. kya namaz parhne gaya hay?

That must have given you a huge heartache...

 

[cricket_fever]

apparently this is not working on watson sis

i dont think they have tried that as yet?

 

[Inswinger]

Can Farhat pull a Guptill?

 

[Gollum]

Good over by Farhat. I see some potential there...

 

[sali]

Good move by Kami to bring in son in law.

Looking at his turn, we really miss Kaneria

 

[Gollum]

Can Farhat pull a Guptill?

No! You need Pak batsmen on the opposite side.

 

[cricket_fever]

Yousuf off the field.. kya namaz parhne gaya hay?

i think so....i think i will be off to do the smae jusnow

 

[insaaniyat]

MoYo leaves and Kami gives Farhat the ball.

Kami was edging to give ball to Imran, was just waiting for Moyo to leave the field

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Nice move by Akmal to bring Farhat. I have been saying time and again that non-regular bowling option should be there in the team. Yousuf didnt apply farhat earlier, it maybe a lucky break for us as Yousuf is out of the field. Maybe we will get wicket through farhat now.

 

[cricket_fever]

Rauf is blady leaking runs like " " never mind i shouldnt say like what

 

[insaaniyat]

No! You need Pak batsmen on the opposite side.

lol

 

[Inswinger]

i think so....i think i will be off to do the smae jusnow

Surprise surprise. i wouldn't have pegged you as a namazi type....

 

[adarsh_bang]

so two of pak's main bowlers have failed to keep themselves fit or this hugely important game ??? *sigh* not that i am blaming them .. but this is a huge blow... wpnder what yk would do in these circumstances ??

 

[tauseefm]

Not sure about that, but you may get your wish of seeing Sami bowling all over the place and being oblidged for free boundaries in the next game. At least those who didn't want Gul to play got their wish of a fickle bowling attack.

Ajmal is no where near Kaneria in Tests, we need another spin option as backup to Kaneria. Ajmal, Afridi, Malik etc. don't cut it.

Also these people need to learn the different between a practice match and an international match. Rauf or Ajmal taking wickets in a practices match against some ABC team is different then bowling to an international side.

 

[cricket_fever]

Nice move by Akmal to bring Farhat. I have been saying time and again that non-regular bowling option should be there in the team. Yousuf didnt apply farhat earlier, it maybe a lucky break for us as Yousuf is out of the field. Maybe we will get wicket through farhat now.

misbah/damad/bhanja should all be tried

 

[cricket_fever]

so two of pak's main bowlers have failed to keep themselves fit or this hugely important game ??? *sigh* not that i am blaming them .. but this is a huge blow... wpnder what yk would do in these circumstances ??

show his teeth and SMILE

 

[adarsh_bang]

i think so....i think i will be off to do the smae jusnow

then pls pray for me sister.. i got my exam staring in 4 hours time now

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

i repeat my question, can anyone tell me who in this current line up are our best slip fielders? I am really struggling to think of any.

 

[RumiNYC]

Dont worry guys..Aus will declared pretty soon..they aint India

 

[d0gers]

That must have given you a huge heartache...

well maybe some divine inspiration is what he needs to create a bit of spark.

 

[cricket_fever]

Surprise surprise. i wouldn't have pegged you as a namazi type....

why lolz,,,,mashallah i am a 5xs one bhai

 

[tauseefm]

Kami was edging to give ball to Imran, was just waiting for Moyo to leave the field

Mujay to abhi se hol uth rahay hain Moyo ko ODI captain kay rup main dakh ker

 

[Inswinger]

Where's the queue to bat against Rauf?

 

[adarsh_bang]

show his teeth and SMILE

i am 200 % sure he is a more attacking captain as compared to moyo...

 

[Cheguvera]

Aight Twatson's wicket coming up...

 

[cricket_fever]

then pls pray for me sister.. i got my exam staring in 4 hours time now

ok, inshallah u will do well...i m praying for you gud luck

 

[Inswinger]

why lolz,,,,mashallah i am a 5xs one bhai

 

[insaaniyat]

so two of pak's main bowlers have failed to keep themselves fit or this hugely important game ??? *sigh* not that i am blaming them .. but this is a huge blow... wpnder what yk would do in these circumstances ??

He knew it ahead of time, and that is why he took sabatical

 

[Cheguvera]

iDamad will get twatson...

 

[cricket_fever]

i am 200 % sure he is a more attacking captain as compared to moyo...

duh, he is warrior type pathan afterall

 

[tauseefm]

I bet Gul could've taken a wicket or two by bowling few yorkers/bouncers

 

[cricket_fever]

iDamad will get twatson...

INSHALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAH

 

[Cheguvera]

Almost had Katich...

 

[saj001]

Close again

 

[Inswinger]

Need to get Twatson within 9 runs....

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

that was good Damad!!!

 

[insaaniyat]

Mujay to abhi se hol uth rahay hain Moyo ko ODI captain kay rup main dakh ker

I am worried about that too. Afridi should have been the ODI captain

 

[Gollum]

Man that was close...Farhat!!

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

this idamad ibhanja idone crap is rlly getting annoying now.

 

[Inswinger]

Farhat bowling better than a part timer.....

 

[insaaniyat]

Need to get Twatson within 9 runs....

Watson is going before his hundred
