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

[Momo]

Does that brilliance come from Uncle Ji's genes?

Nobody yet knows where that gene comes from. That area is open for research.

 

[insaaniyat]

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

someone should tell them that runs are important too

 

[saj001]

9 overs 9 runs this session

 

[Fish]

Come on Butt, Hauritz is bowling and you told us how bad he is. You do know what the bat is for dont you.

 

[iZeeshan]

Nobody yet knows where that gene comes from. That area is open for research.

Good point. The Faisal is certainly open to a lot of new discoveries.

 

[Gollum]

Can't wait for MoYo and the Akmals. They should have a field day on this pancake.

 

[Lodhiz]

Wow Hauritz is turning the ball with his world-famous "Doosra".

 

[saj001]

Faisal showing how to play hauritz

 

[iZeeshan]

Last 10 overs, 10/0

I don't like this.

 

[Momo]

Pakistani batsmen - on the occasion of his birth anniversary - taking Qaid's message of solidarity a bit too seriously. The Qaid wasn't talkiing about this kind of solidarity guys.

 

[Gollum]

Aussies can't make a hundred. On the other hand we can't hit a boundary.

 

[iZeeshan]

The Butt needs to take two steps out of crease and let himself loose. He's going into a shell and will self-implode soon.

 

[Lodhiz]

I should hope that Butt will slay Siddle.

 

[insaaniyat]

Aussies can't make a hundred. On the other hand we can't hit a boundary.

just score runs, even in singles will do it

 

[azfar wali]

Peter siddle to bowl now

 

[Momo]

Aussies can't make a hundred. On the other hand we can't hit a boundary.

)

 

[Gollum]

I should hope that Butt will slay Siddle.

Siddle will bowl short to unsettle them...

 

[mohsinr12]

Hauritz is such an ordinary bowler..the way pakis are playing him they will make him the king.....Cant wait to see akmals play him...Out top order is so bad...Faisal has no shots.

 

[JeeraBlade]

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

No -- they are batting for;

1) see the new ball off --- which is accomplished.
2) not to loose any more wickets today.

 

[saj001]

Inside egde and safe

 

[Lodhiz]

Chinese cut! Phew, that was a close one!

 

[Momo]

The Butt needs to take two steps out of crease and let himself loose. He's going into a shell and will self-implode soon.

That's the normal procedure. Our batters first get bogged down (for no reason). Then they get themselves out because of that pressure.

issed:

 

[Gollum]

Wow that was close!

 

[mohsinr12]

salman is loosing it a little..he is getting no scoring opportunities

 

[insaaniyat]

hey Australian, we need some luck too

 

[azfar wali]

inside edge for 2 runs

 

[Gollum]

Siddle will bowl short to unsettle them...

Full pitch balls are doing the job at the moment.

 

[Momo]

No -- they are batting for;

1) see the new ball off --- which is accomplished.
2) not to loose any more wickets today.

The problem with seeing off the new ball theory is that by the time that is taken care of, another new ball is due in five overs.

 

[azfar wali]

Iqbal gets his 10

 

[sali]

MoYo hasn't learned anything from last test in NZ. You play for time and you eventually get out without scoring enough runs. They need to keep atleast RR 3.

 

[mohsinr12]

omg faisal has to be the most unattracted batsman since asif mujtaba (techinque wise)

 

[saj001]

50 up

 

[iZeeshan]

They should try and step it up a bit now. I'm not saying this because I'm bored, but for their own good.

But four runs from that over, so that's good.

 

[Lodhiz]

Nice stroke by Iqbal for two. Lets see him take it to Hauritz.

 

[kingusama92]

MoYo hasn't learned anything from last test in NZ. You play for time and you eventually get out without scoring enough runs. They need to keep atleast RR 3.

You must be watching a different match because I don't see MoYo out there.

He can't control how these two bat.

 

[Gollum]

This is unbelievable and pathetic. 50 up without a boundary!

 

[Momo]

Guys, Faisal talked to uncle Javed last night. Ominous for Aussies.

 

[Lodhiz]

Iqbal ran around that delivery a little.

 

[saj001]

50 without a boundary

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Faisal looks more controlled against the spinners than the pacers.

 

[CricketBuff]

Bhanja doing well so far!!!!

 

[Momo]

Faisal Iqbal's FC average is a menacing 39.

 

[JeeraBlade]

The problem with seeing off the new ball theory is that by the time that is taken care of, another new ball is due in five overs.

Bhanja has a rare talent!

 

[Lodhiz]

Got to give it to the Aussies. They love streakers.

 

[adzzy786]

What happnd thr?

 

[Big Mac]

Streaker almost managed to cross the entire length of the pitch, finally brought down just a few steps from the boundary, good effort son.

 

[*sallu*]

Iqbal is looking okayish

 

[ahsan17]

Streaker!! )

 

[iHammad]

streaker

 

[Gollum]

Guys, Faisal talked to uncle Javed last night. Ominous for Aussies.

I heard the Uncle asked Bhanja to score the first triple century of the family.

 

[Looney]

another streaker? thank God we are not fielding right now.

 

[JeeraBlade]

Streaker --- OMG, Bhanja's blood pressure up, distracted, gone!!

 

[Lodhiz]

Pakistan should threaten to boycott the serious due to an obscene amount of streakers in Australia.

 

[adiabbasi]

not even a 1 four yet

 

[KA$H]

this is too easy

(10 press up and 10 chins up done for teh record so far)

 

[Random Aussie]

At this rate Pakistan should be about 75 by the end of the day....

 

[Random Aussie]

Pakistan should threaten to boycott the serious due to an obscene amount of streakers in Australia.

Score some bloody runs, you are boring our crowd

 

[iHammad]

Butt has a problem with his bat....

 

[Momo]

I heard the Uncle asked Bhanja to score the first triple century of the family.

Bhanja's reply: I will tly.

 

[Momo]

this is too easy

(10 press up and 10 chins up done for teh record so far)

The lower limit of chin ups as well as the upper limit for press ups is 100.

 

[McBoom]

This is undoubtedly the one of the most boring test matches I have witnessed.

 

[Gollum]

Butt will change the tempo of the game with his new bat...

 

[saj001]

Score some bloody runs, you are boring our crowd

tell your boys to misfield

 

[JeeraBlade]

At this rate Pakistan should be about 75 by the end of the day....

I'll gladly take 75/1 --- I mean 1/75.

 

[Cheguvera]

Faisal Iqbal's FC average is a menacing 39.

Still some way to go before reaching the dizzying class of Ramiz Rambo Raja's first class average...i.e. 36...

 

[daghetto]

this is as boring as the second test match vs NZ when pak were batting...gettin pissed off now

 

[Lodhiz]

Score some bloody runs, you are boring our crowd

You're loving it really. This match is the epitome of test cricket!

 

[Gollum]

Score some bloody runs, you are boring our crowd

They should Boo the Aussie Captain. He declared too early!

 

[tdigi]

I am going to run naked in my apartment if I don't see a boundary....

 

[McBoom]

Can someone give our two batsman some glucose? It looks like they don't have any power to send the ball beyond the boundary.

 

[adiabbasi]

this is intikhab alam plan to duck the balls and mohd yousuf also comes from the same school of thought

 

[Momo]

Score some bloody runs, you are boring our crowd

You are obviously unaware of the concept of piddi. This is our tactic. First tire and bore the opposition into the ground. Then strike in a way that they don't know what hit em.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Score some bloody runs, you are boring our crowd

That's what you get when you make such a useless pitch in fear of Pak fast bowlers

 

[Momo]

Still some way to go before reaching the dizzying class of Ramiz Rambo Raja's first class average...i.e. 36...

) ) )

 

[uzy99]

Score some bloody runs, you are boring our crowd

This is test cricket. If you want runs, go watch the India, SL ODI

 

[Gollum]

Can someone give our two batsman some glucose? It looks like they don't have any power to send the ball beyond the boundary.

Ask

 

[Random Aussie]

That's what you get when you make such a useless pitch in fear of Pak fast bowlers

) Yes that is it.

 

[McBoom]

Still some way to go before reaching the dizzying class of Ramiz Rambo Raja's first class average...i.e. 36...

Yaar Rameez ka naam lae ker mood mazeed kharab na kero.

 

[Lodhiz]

Can someone give our two batsman some glucose? It looks like they don't have any power to send the ball beyond the boundary.

What they really need is some Roti and Salaan.

 

[Gollum]

What's going on..is there a match going on or what?
