[daghetto]

aussies in no rush here

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

C'mon Aamer get it past 150 k's

 

[Sheikh]

Ooooh he got that one to cut in. Seam the next one away.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Good off cutter by Asif..

 

[don1990]

good delievery... almost wicket,,,

 

[Sheikh]

Great length from Asif here

 

[IAJ]

Asif bowling at 135+, good to see that.

 

[PakPassionate]

we need early wkt...

 

[On_the_up]

Tv showing Asif's heart rate, how can they calculate that?

 

[Sheikh]

aussies in no rush here

Showing discipline in the face of some accurate bowling.

 

[On_the_up]

Good start by Pakistan, many teams get off to a poor start vs Australia in the first hour and never recover.

 

[Oxy]

Tv showing Asif's heart rate, how can they calculate that?

Must be hooked up to an electronic tag

 

[saj001]

inside egde

 

[On_the_up]

Inside edge on to the pad

 

[Oxy]

Moyo out!

(Just practicing)

 

[saj001]

Good Start

 

[IAJ]

Tv showing Asif's heart rate, how can they calculate that?

He is wearing something under his shirt which calculates that.

 

[On_the_up]

6-0 after 5

 

[don1990]

maiden over by asif......

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Asif's first maiden over of the day.

 

[Sheikh]

Great start here. Just need a wicket to show for it.

6/0 after 5.

 

[karachiite]

Asif bowling beautifully so far. Swinging a tad either way off a probing line

 

[On_the_up]

Moyo out!

(Just practicing)

If that happens today, Pakistan would have done well.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Tv showing Asif's heart rate, how can they calculate that?

commentator said asif agreed to put the gator tag under his shirt. so its definitely some tag (device) through which they are measuring heart rate.

 

[saj001]

Close!

 

[don1990]

big shout.... not out

 

[On_the_up]

Rudi clean shaven these days. Santa look deserting him at this time of the year.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Tv showing Asif's heart rate, how can they calculate that?

They've planted some device on his body

 

[Inswinger]

Is the referral system in play for this series?

 

[On_the_up]

commentator said asif agreed to put the gator tag under his shirt. so its definitely some tag (device) through which they are measuring heart rate.

Thanks for explaining.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Aamer's keeping it tight.

 

[IAJ]

Aussies playing like farhat and butt, but they are more solid and have better technique than our boys.

 

[pak4life]

really could do with a wicket before our intensity drops

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

What has happened to Aamer's inswinger to the right handers ?

 

[Sheikh]

Amazed at Twatson's patience here. He's on 2 off 24 balls.

 

[Inswinger]

Bhanja got carried away with the sun block.....

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Thanks for explaining.

Always welcome

 

[iafzal]

No respect for Aamer on cricinfo. Shows him as rfm same as Asif.

Aamer is consistantly bowling in the mid 140s where as Asif is in high 120s

 

[octavian]

Line and length stuff so far form both the bowlers. No bouncers no yorkers, not trying any variations.

Aussies playing the waiting game. Knocking the shine off the ball. Good thinking.

 

[Inswinger]

Should mix in an odd short pitched delivery in an over.

 

[IAJ]

Looking forward to see Abdur Rauf, havent seen him for years.

 

[On_the_up]

Run out chance, missed

 

[IAJ]

HUH YOUSUF misses a big chance there!

 

[Sheikh]

Yousuf was never gonna hit there.

 

[saj001]

Another close one

 

[pak4life]

take your chances!!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Oh Buoy oh Buoy !!! !! that should have been out !!

 

[Oxy]

Bhanja got carried away with the sun block.....

Is it covering his eyes as usual

 

[don1990]

little bit drama.... but save...

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

yousuf misses!!!

pressure is building, wicket coming soon!

 

[On_the_up]

Replays shows, he would have just been in anyway.

 

[slix10]

Captain doesn't find the stumps.

 

[Inswinger]

Missed oppertunity. MoYo underhands it and still misses.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just changed the channel and see Moyo with a pathetic throw which could've sent Katich back

Pressure showing on them

 

[saj001]

Yousuf to SLOW

 

[uzy99]

so close yet so far

 

[iafzal]

Moyo cheeath shows his quickness in the field NOT.


Fawad in that place would have had him in big trouble

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Another good off cutter by Asif !!

 

[octavian]

No respect for Aamer on cricinfo. Shows him as rfm same as Asif.

Aamer is consistantly bowling in the mid 140s where as Asif is in high 120s

Ishant Sharma is the only genuinely quick bowler these days. you shud know that.

 

[On_the_up]

Its now Boxing day in the UK.

 

[taaveez]

poor throw by moyo

 

[tdigi]

MoYo should have a energy drink...

 

[On_the_up]

8-0(7)

 

[uzy99]

yes very poor

 

[Sheikh]

Need a bit of luck. A lot of deliveries are hitting the outside half of the bat. Need one to take a true edge. Lovely bowling though, can't fault our start.

8/0 after 7.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

pathetic throwattempt by moyo

fixed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Waqar must be pleased with that effort from Moyo that he actually ran to the ball!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Any Pakistani commentators ?

 

[insaaniyat]

Need a bit of luck. A lot of deliveries are hitting the outside half of the bat. Need one to take a true edge. Lovely bowling though, can't fault our start.

8/0 after 7.

not bad that is 8/0 after 7

 

[tdigi]

Lot of empty seats...RA should have went.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good to see Waqar in the green clothing

 

[Big Mac]

oooooh Katich you lucky, lucky man

 

[On_the_up]

Good pressure being built up. Inside edge for 4 through fine leg.

 

[Oxy]

MoYo should have a energy drink...

At least 24 cans...

 

[saj001]

CLOSE Again

 

[Inswinger]

Any Pakistanis in the commentary team?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

oh!

 

[pak4life]

close - no luck soo far

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Inside edge brings Aus their 1st four

 

[Sheikh]

Man, so close there.
