Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test - Day 3 | MCG | 28/12/09

[On_the_up]

Akmal will be regretting playing that shot now. Had he still been batting, we would be 30 runs on by now.

 

[Chuffed]

Why is Misbah even in this side? If Younis came back, who'd you opt out for? Faisal or Misbah?

 

[Digital]

no bhai... from the land of pakpassion

Ela Ela...Bhai

 

[insaaniyat]

they are batting like it is the 5th day of the match. Determine to save the match since run is not that important. lol

Both.

 

[saadibaba]

What a pathetic display by Pakistan. I would respect them more if they fight for a win and lose in the process rather than playing for a draw. The defensive almost timid mindset of our team is shameful. Test cricket is not meant to be this boring.

The fact is we are all regretting He still played good

you play for a draw on the 5th day not from day one

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Boycott was talking about Asif Iqbals speed on TMS the other day.

 

[hmujtaba]

Out of context but i was watching moyo's interview on Autralian TV and when asked

"Do you think you can win this series?"

moyo answered

"I don't want to say anything about that"

talk about being negative

 

[insaaniyat]

Hitting mode has been blocked by and

you really think so, I think Misbah has lost confident.

 

[Chuffed]

Aamer is good buffer for Misbah here, the right-left combo cooling the effect of the Aussie bowlers for Misbah.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I have a feeling that Misbah will lose his wicket after wasting so many deliveries... he is playing like a night watchman.... i guess too much influenced by Aamer and his fame.

 

[hmujtaba]

Misbah chakka

 

[On_the_up]

sixer by Misbah

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

SIXXX by MISBAH - FAINTS!!!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Here is the other extreme of Misbah..

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Six by Misbah

 

[tauseefm]

you really think so, I think Misbah has lost confident.

Eid Mubarak!!!

 

[On_the_up]

Defies logic

 

[Big Mac]

See? Told ypu Misbah is putting on a masterclass

 

[Oxy]

6,4 - Misbah

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Akmal will be regretting playing that shot now. Had he still been batting, we would be 30 runs on by now.

We'd be closer to 400 the way he was swinging!

 

[On_the_up]

4 next ball

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Misbah slogs one, and it pays off.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Four - Faints Again!!!

 

[saj001]

6 and 4

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Misbah is now in 20/20 mode.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

[12thMan]

[mindless slogging]

MISBAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10 in 2 balls.

Play it easy now

 

[Digital]

Impressive isn't??

 

[slix10]

8 mins to lunch, no risky shots now.

 

[On_the_up]

hello?

 

[Shayan]

errr... easy Misbah.

 

[Chuffed]

Attacking Hauritz, good tactic. Give him what he deserves!

 

[On_the_up]

Misbah's got stuck in 6th gear now

 

[Digital]

Good attacking By Missi

 

[saadibaba]

What got into Misbah all of a sudden...maybe he heard our comments

 

[Shayan]

Attempted sweep shot from Amir

 

[tauseefm]

WT F is ricky laughing at?

 

[saj001]

Ponting hit Aamer and laughing

 

[Seen Sheen]

Relax Punter..I know you are frustated..

 

[On_the_up]

Every one wants to have a go at Hauritz

 

[Uncle Sam]

Out of context but i was watching moyo's interview on Autralian TV and when asked

"Do you think you can win this series?"

moyo answered

"I don't want to say anything about that"

talk about being negative

The statement could be improved by saying "We will try our best" but I still like his approach instead of making big claims and pre-match statements like "we will make Australia sweat thru their nose" (something that has been pretty common with Pakistani players)

 

[Oxy]

How would HAyden have reacted if a Pak player threw a ball at his throat?

I think we are more classier.

 

[daghetto]

misbah SR 68.96

 

[Syndrome]

Like I said before, same player as razzaq. Either full slog or full defence.

 

[hmujtaba]

if i was aamir, next ball would have gone for pontings head

 

[On_the_up]

67 more runs to make Australia bat again.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

If he had miscued one of them, as he did in NZ, it would have looked very, very ugly.

 

[iafzal]

Here we go out of the tuk tuk mode. Nice strike that 6

and

Ponting tries to injure Aamer

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Only if Umar was still around. He would love facing Hauritz.

 

[Digital]

This Kid Aamir very impressive with his batting.. :aamir

 

[12thMan]

Aamir should have called time and called the claims people of ARY/Zee

 

[On_the_up]

Misbah 20 off 29 now, very respectable, correction shocking.

 

[Uncle Sam]

What got into Misbah all of a sudden...maybe he heard our comments

lol i was about to say the same

 

[Veteran]

Judging by the Australian commentator's words, either we are very harsh on our top order or the Aussies have got it terribly wrong. They have a lot of respect for our talent, but are critical of the execution. Maybe their confidence issue is down to us, the supporters.

great comment let's support our guys we are too ready to criticize

 

[mindless slogging]

Misbah in hitting mode here.

Even trying to drive Johnson.

 

[On_the_up]

2 more to Misbah

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Misbah likes to attack spinners it seems.

 

[Chuffed]

How would HAyden have reacted if a Pak player threw a ball at his throat?

I think we are more classier.

Courteous is the word.

 

[iZeeshan]

Uh oh Misbah is palying well

 

[Seen Sheen]

Chalo Chalo !

 

[Digital]

Last over before lunch??

 

[coy0607]

so far almost every pakistani batsmen has had 2 gears, either full on block everything, or start sloging.........no one has played their natural game so far, just good defense, hit the bad balls, good cricketing shots

 

[On_the_up]

great comment let's support our guys we are too ready to criticize

The ranking tables don't lie.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

lets hope we have one more over from hauritz before lunch

 

[TalhaSyed]

Misbah dropped!

 

[On_the_up]

Dropped

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

[Faisal Akhtar]

[saj001]

Ponting dropped misbah

 

[Shayan]

WOW A drop by Ponting

 

[Seen Sheen]

Ponting drops one..unbelievable..

 

[On_the_up]
