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

[Dare2Dream]

Looks like Pak team does not have a think tank, not surprising with Intikhab-a-surus as coach. They should have planned fast bouncers from both ends for Pointing, without giving him the confidence of facing ordinary Ajmal.

 

[cricket_fever]

alright Aamer to Ponting.... let's do this

come, lets

ponting is not a great player of spin first up.

 

[insaaniyat]

Aamir will get ponting

 

[cricket_fever]

what about aiming for his elbow, then he will dance around trying to save his poor elbow and we might be in a chance of getting him???

 

[cricket_fever]

Aamir will get ponting

INSHALLLAH

Surprise him with bouncers that have been talked about all week in the lead up to this test? Great plan.

 

[octavian]

Left Arm fast going across Ponting and no Gully.

nice one Moyo

He wouldnt have expected any bouncers would he...

 

[insaaniyat]

we need few more wickets today, to have any hope of surviving

Surprise element - I like it!

 

[ali110]

alright I am out, I was hoping that they will provide some exciting cricket but alas they succeed in providing the same **** that we are now getting used to.

 

[saj001]

WHat was rauf doing there

 

[insaaniyat]

INSHALLLAH

Ponting doesn't look very confy there. I want Katich to go bowled before his century

 

[cricket_fever]

Cummon Pakistanis!!! Its boxing day 2day! Box them aussies out

 

[Big Mac]

haha Rauf bringing back memories of the way fast bowlers used to field in the glory days of test cricket, I love it :***)

 

[cricket_fever]

Ponting doesn't look very confy there. I want Katich to go bowled before his century

what about run out?

 

[ali_ed2006]

That was one of the most horrible piece of fielding by Rauf.

 

[Khabri420]

Rauf is not only a poor bowler, a poor fielder as well!

May this be his last test!

 

[insaaniyat]

bad fielding, should have stopped it.

 

[octavian]

Rauf was on a treadmill, never looked like getting it.. Healy

 

[daghetto]

rauf is so ****, horrible bowler

 

[cricket_fever]

INSHALLAH BHAYON DUA KARO! :aamir

i am, infact i did and then watson got run out

 

[Oxy]

Bollinger is going to get a 10fer on ths track!

 

[iZeeshan]

If we can pick up at least 3 more wickets before end of day's play, I'll call it even.

 

[insaaniyat]

Rauf is not only a poor bowler, a poor fielder as well!

May this be his last test!

poor ones keep coming back to our team, how can you wish for that in our setup

 

[octavian]

bring back Qadir i mean Farhat

 

[x2zee123]

Rauf was on a treadmill, never looked like getting it.. Healy

) ) that was funny fielding

 

[slix10]

Rauf was on a treadmill, never looked like getting it.. Healy

His legs were moving so fast but he wasn't getting closer.

 

[Dare2Dream]

He wouldnt have expected any bouncers would he...

Doesn't matter whether he's prepared or not for them, it doesn't take away from his previous nightmare, he'd be dancing around on the back foot remembering Roach and the pain. Not testing him because he is expecting the test just sounds like Pakistan's genius strategy.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

can anyone tell me why Misbah has been laughing all day??

 

[cricket_fever]

Abdur Rauf, if you ever read this, then this is what i have to tell you:

Please quit cricket and jao aur ande becho ya mithai banto, magar ham pakistanion par yeh ehsan kar do ke cricket se zindagi bhar ke liay taubah kar lo

 

[Oxy]

203-1

 

[insaaniyat]

203/1 doesnt sound too promising for us with Clarke, Hussey, Nash and Haddin to follow

 

[cricket_fever]

can anyone tell me why Misbah has been laughing all day??

[sali]

Rauf is not only a poor bowler, a poor fielder as well!

May this be his last test!

[Oxy]

[Gollum]

I would be surprised if he can lift his arm tomorrow.

 

[coy0607]

[cricket_fever]

I would be surprised if he can lift his arm tomorrow.

tut tut tut,.......bechare bachhe ko thhaka diya

 

[Gollum]

why isnt farhat being given more overs, he looked really good in limited time

I think missed :akmal Farhat move when was consulting long distance.

 

[Cheguvera]

Rauf (Ralph) is a huge liability in the field as well...even Kaneria moves quicker then this camel...

 

[cricket_fever]

why isnt farhat being given more overs, he looked really good in limited time

coz damaad will get tired and susar sahab will come for moyo thats why, happy?

 

[insaaniyat]

could this test match be something like WI 3rd test match against Australia. The difference being we win?

 

[tauseefm]

could this test match be something like WI 3rd test match against Australia. The difference being we win?

Phir insaaniyat ki ankh khul jay gi aur ami kahain gi, "Beta utho aur dahi/doodh lay ker ao jalid se"

 

[iZeeshan]

THe Pakistani team actually just goes thru the motions hoping against hope that something magical happens, i.e that run out.

THey can't do anything for themselves! NO plan at all.

FOUR for Pointing.

 

[slix10]

Ponting picking up the tempo.

225/1.
