[daghetto]

LOL, and so the drops begin...

 

[USaqaf]

They should appeal harder and louder, ive read many umpires denying shouts because of the strength of the appeal.

Catch dropped BTW CRAP!

 

[On_the_up]

U Akmal the man, came quickly, seemed to be in pain. hit the wrong part of the hand

 

[karachiite]

Unbelievable!!!!

[WithLoveFromCanada]

imran farhat has an excuse now to drop the next one!!!

 

[IAJ]

Tomorrow you will hear that Aamer and Umar Akmal have had a fight in thre dressing room...

 

[Cheguvera]

Umar Akmal just counteracted any runs he will be scoring in this match....watch Katich get a big score now....

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Wow !! How pathetic is Pakistan's fielding !!

 

[On_the_up]

Ok now we need a wkt

 

[insaaniyat]

we can't drop catches. period

 

[Inswinger]

The fielders have to back the bowlers. Frustrating to see so many drops and over throws.

 

[nazimcricket]

tsk tsk - catches win matches.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

2 down had it been Aus.

we're gonna win ? haha!

 

[iafzal]

Here we go our outstanding fielding continues.
Why the hell they come to talk to Umar, supporting him that it is OK?

 

[tdigi]

Will Pak ever learn.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

dont worry guys Pakistan is the only team who drop catches but win matches.

 

[Cheguvera]

U Akmal the man, came quickly, seemed to be in pain. hit the wrong part of the hand

What exactly is the wrong part of the hand...these are professionals and anything going into the hand should be taken...no excuses...

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

I reckon Asif will get Watson soon

 

[Big Mac]

hahahahahahahaha Junior standing at slip with an ad hoarding behind that reads "YOU BLOODY IDIOT"

 

[Cheguvera]

dont worry guys Pakistan is the only team to drop catches but win matches.

Yeah like the three they just won in NZ...

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

hahaha

that was so simple. australia will punish us for such mistakes.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Umar Akmal just counteracted any runs he will be scoring in this match....watch Katich get a big score now....

Shubh shubh bol yaar )

 

[ShehryarK]

Hi guys...

Interesting start, eh..!

Tho....is Tony Greig biased or what..!

 

[octavian]

Thats why Wasim and Waqar didnt bother with the fielders.

only lbw's and bowled's. smart thinking

 

[Inswinger]

Umar's got some tape on his right hand from before. That could have played a part in the drop.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

dont worry guys Pakistan is the only team who drop catches but win matches.

Yeah but it wouldn't exactly hurt if we took those catches.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Yeah like the three they just won in NZ...

hahaha yeah..its very like Pakistani team to win the match. We have hardly ever performed 100% in any of our wins.

 

[Sheikh]

And a thread on dropped catches pops up. So predictable.

 

[don1990]

four by watson...

 

[Big Mac]

Nice drive down the ground from Watson

 

[USaqaf]

Both batsmen appear troubled.

 

[On_the_up]

Watson with the first real shot of the day.

 

[Digital]

Will Pak ever learn.

what abt your players ???

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lovely shot that.

 

[ShehryarK]

1st catch dropped in the first hour....really should have snaffled that!


And Umar is one of our better fielders!!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Watson drive one down the ground for a four. Good Shot.

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

asif changing his action for that delivery again.

 

[Cheguvera]

Umar's got some tape on his right hand from before. That could have played a part in the drop.

Excuses...if he is so injured he should have sat the game out....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Choka by Wattoo to Asif
