Australia v Pakistan | 1st test - Day 2 | MCG | 27/12/09

[adzzy786]

Right my prediction by the end of the day Pak will be:

162/2 Butt 22*, Iqbal 6, Rauf 120* (56 Balls).....in an attempt to surprise the Ozzy's more then Ponting surprised Pakistan Yousuf will send in Rauf next and it will come off......ok maybe not...my REAL prediction....and tbh what il be happy with:

122/2 Butt 53*, Iqbal 22, Yousuf 24*

Something around that

hahahahah )

 

[insaaniyat]

Part-Timer

lol. i am not sleepy at all

 

[tdigi]

Forgot to make the thread for the 5th ODI?

Are you watching?

No I just woke up...will watch this match. It has become interesting after the declaration. Would be nice to see a Akmal 100.

 

[Momo]

Bad balls are being sent to fielders for practice. That's bad, Butt!

 

[insaaniyat]

No I just woke up...will watch this match. It has become interesting after the declaration. Would be nice to see a Akmal 100.

this match is wide open. Well we need to score good in this inning. How is the 5th odi going?

 

[tdigi]

because their bowling sucks. They win because of their batting

Don't I know that. Ishant has been dropped

 

[insaaniyat]

Don't I know that. Ishant has been dropped

really what happened to him? He started out good

 

[tauseefm]

Why only even options?

Because we get out in pairs

 

[Momo]

Fasial Iqbal showing how it is done.

 

[insaaniyat]

everyone went to sleep i guess

 

[Random Aussie]

MJ has lost pace of late

 

[Momo]

Faisal has quickly moved to 6*. Only 194 more to go.

 

[iZeeshan]

Butt-aaaaah being boring against Hauritz. He's really bad you know. Hauritz.

 

[Lodhiz]

Come on Mr. Butt! Attack Hauritz! He can't keep defending the whole of this session!

 

[Gollum]

Butt is a little awkward against the spinner.

 

[JeeraBlade]

Faisal has quickly moved to 6*. Only 194 more to go.

He is dominating the partnership also --- 6 runs in a 9 run partnership!

 

[iZeeshan]

Still can't believe Faisal is being picked over Fawad or any other batsmen in all of Pakistan.

 

[saj001]

What has happened Aussies commentator ?

they are praising bhanja ) ) )

 

[saj001]

Faisal dropped

 

[Gollum]

Almost gone Bhanja!

 

[kingusama92]

Ponting puts down a real tough one. Only he could have taken that though.

 

[Lodhiz]

Faisal dropped

Not 100%, it looked like it wouldn't have carried.

 

[Gollum]

I think this is a dropped chance!

 

[Looney]

Lucky Iqbal!

 

[Momo]

It wasn't an edge. It was very deliberate. Faisal is full control.

 

[insaaniyat]

Lucky Faisal. Now make good use of it man

 

[insaaniyat]

It wasn't an edge. It was very deliberate. Faisal is full control.

lol

 

[Momo]

He is dominating the partnership also --- 6 runs in a 9 run partnership!

He is a natural dominator.

 

[insaaniyat]

they need to rotate the strike. We keep playing like this all the time and never pays off.

 

[iZeeshan]

It wasn't an edge. It was very deliberate. Faisal is full control.

Don't mock the man's talent.

 

[Syndrome]

Our batsmen need to learn how to take singles.

 

[d0gers]

Ponting's drop should go into the dropped catches thread. was as much of a drop as Akmal's off Asif.

 

[Momo]

Don't mock the man's talent.

God forbid I contemplate something like that let alone doing it.

 

[saj001]

Oh my

10 push up for ka$sh

batters ran four

 

[faizpak]

Some stats

SALMAN BUTT

Mat Runs HS Ave
25 1286 122 29.22

BHANJA

Mat Runs HS Ave
25 1033 139 27.18

 

[d0gers]

press up time!

 

[Lodhiz]

Our batsmen need to learn how to take singles.

I'm glad you mentioned this, as they just ran four runs!

 

[Gollum]

Ran 4! Have we hit a boundary in this inning?

 

[Momo]

Do all run fours apply, KA$H?

 

[Looney]

Where is Chacha Cricket? Didn't see him in NZ, he is not here in Australia either

 

[tauseefm]

Oh my

10 push up for ka$sh

batters ran four

And a plate of biryani for uncle

 

[iZeeshan]

God forbid I contemplate something like that let alone doing it.

Well you can, so as long as doesn't find out.

 

[saj001]

Aww , dossra

 

[Big Mac]

hahahaha Haddin screaming "DOOSRA!" after that went straight on

 

[Momo]

Oh my

10 push up for ka$sh

batters ran four

Push ups latest count = 10.0

 

[iZeeshan]

Ran 4! Have we hit a boundary in this inning?

Nots yets

 

[saj001]

And a plate of biryani for uncle

Abhi thori dair pehlay tou khai thi

 

[Ryankhan]

Surprised to see aussie dec for 454-5. i thought they will go over 500runs. so once again we get crap opening. dissapointed with farhat. atleast openers should had give a 50-60 runs stand atleast. anyway the match is wide open and i hope for the best and wish pakistan gets to that 454 score and give atleast 50 runs lead if not more. if misbah doesnt scores in this match then i would send someone to aussie to kil him seriously

 

[Lodhiz]

Haddin "Doosra". You wish buddy.

 

[iZeeshan]

Need some game time food.

Any recommendations.

 

[saj001]

Push ups latest count = 10.0

Our batter's cranking it up , mashAllah brutal hitting going on

 

[iHammad]

Need some game time food.

Any recommendations.

badaam

Good for health. Ammi always insists

 

[Random Aussie]

Come on Ponting get Hauritz off, this is taking too long.

 

[Gollum]

BS from the keeper!!!! No 'doosra' it was a straight one!

 

[Momo]

Clever of Haddin.

But of course Hauritz can't bowl a doosra to save his life.

 

[tauseefm]

Abhi thori dair pehlay tou khai thi

Woh to Amir kay hisay ki thi, abhi uncle nay apna hisa to khana hay

 

[kingusama92]

Haddin "Doosra". You wish buddy.

Butt should have replied... "No wonder Aussies can't play spin.. they don't even know what a doosra is."

or

" He doesn't even know how to bowl normal offspin"

 

[iZeeshan]

badaam

Good for health. Ammi always insists

I settled for dood toast.

 

[Momo]

Clever of Haddin.

But of course Hauritz can't bowl a doosra to save his life.

In fact I have serious doubts about his ability to bowl pehla as well.

 

[saj001]

Woh to Amir kay hisay ki thi, abhi uncle nay apna hisa to khana hay

Uncle baith-ul-khila mai ajj sahi boo dalay gai

 

[iZeeshan]

I don't like watching Faisal bat.

He's ugly when he leaves the ball, and very un-flamboyant.

 

[mohsinr12]

faisal is a wicket waiting to happen....salman butt looks test match material....he is really grinding it out...

 

[Gollum]

Bhanja sticking around...i'll give him that.

 

[iZeeshan]

In fact I have serious doubts about his ability to bowl pehla as well.

) ) You're on fire mate

 

[insaaniyat]

we need to score runs too. Have they forgotten about it. Is there something like rotating the strike?

 

[Gollum]

In fact I have serious doubts about his ability to bowl pehla as well.

) ) )

 

[adzzy786]

Why does Pakistan play so defensivly. I mean i understand getting your self in and its a test match but this is too slow. At least hit bad balls.. but this is ridicilous. this rate going to get out without runs. at least make some

 

[Momo]

I don't like watching Faisal bat.

He's ugly when he leaves the ball, and very un-flamboyant.

All the flamboyant genes went to the uncle. All faisal received was determination and grit.

 

[iZeeshan]

Aussies rightly attacking Butt.

Hauritz is nothing! Take him on

 

[Lodhiz]

Butt should have replied... "No wonder Aussies can't play spin.. they don't even know what a doosra is."

or

" He doesn't even know how to bowl normal offspin"

Now that would be something to see, if only Pakistan could sledge. Good thing half our players don't understand English, the Aussie sledging won't get through to us.

 

[Big Mac]

Hauritz getting some lovely drift through the air, nice to see

 

[iZeeshan]

All the flamboyant genes went to the uncle. All faisal received was determination and grit.

Are you sure about that. He's a wicket waiting to happen.

Oh uncle jee, kya nephew hai aap ka.

 

[saj001]

They need to get going now

 

[*sallu*]

Expecting another Misbah ul Hoick to happen very soon

 

[Gollum]

Hauritz should be played like a 90Km/hr pacer.

 

[insaaniyat]

the way they are playing, it doesn't look good. take singles please, keep rotating

 

[Momo]

Are you sure about that. He's a wicket waiting to happen.

He deliberately gives that impression. To lull the opposition into a false sense of security. Once that is achieved, he does what he does best.

 

[sali]

already batting for draw. Only way to get out of prision is to score runs.

 

[Big Mac]

All the flamboyant genes went to the uncle. All faisal received was determination and grit.

I'd prefer him to have over the qualities that some of our more 'talunted' batsmen possess.

 

[iZeeshan]

He deliberately gives that impression. To lull the opposition into a false sense of security. Once that is achieved, he does what he does best.

Does that brilliance come from Uncle Ji's genes?
