Calling Che to the thread now. Back to grade cricket for Aamer eh? :D

This is not ideal work from our batsmen.
 
Dont you think This Would have been a great combination.

Shoaib Akhtar
Mohammed Asif
Mohammed Aamer

Only if Akhtar wasnt Injury Prone and had a better attitude. Akhtar over Abdur Rauf Anytime
 
Lovely bowling by amir. loving his pace. hope we get more quick wickets and restrict aus to orignal target of 300-350.

and that target will also be difficult to chase for our batsmen but still its a chance we could win if we restrict aussie to 300-350.....great bowling by amir n asif.

Yaar looks like Shoaib action when he goes for the slow one.

Yeah that crossed my mind as well. There is no way that a batsman wouldn't be able to pick that change.

What bowling here from these two.

This is unbelievable. Can we truly turn this test around?

wish we could. But the lead is too big. Even if Aus declares right now they can still easily bowl us out in our 2nd innings.
 
Unbelievable.

What will our Rauf do now?

Only, only ...if we had taken the catches in the first inning. A repeate of NZ.

If we can pick up another wicket in the next over, this match will become very intense.

i wana see all the haters now!!!!!

Negative, defensive, lazy, reactive, clueless captaincy has the Aussies running scared :moyo :moyo :moyo :moyo :moyo :moyo
 
CRICINFO HEADLINE: Hussey joins Australian collapse
Is there really a collapse happening or will Watson hold the batting together?

its ok .... farhat will save us
 
Btw if a referral is successful, does that actually count as a referral? Say you have 1 left, use it, then it goes in your favour, would you still have that 1 left?

Well we seem to be doing our best to oblige here.

But I think we have too many runs already, thankfully.

No. We still have 1 in the bank

Nooo U loos it.
 
watson hit bad and aamer is clapping watson

they are really getting under watto's skin
 
Healy showing why he is the biggest biased piece of vile in the business...calling the lbw decision 50/50 on all counts...

Someone tell this guy to stop blowing kisses, it kills the moment!

Honestly!!!

Folks like Watson will never know what it means to throw a kiss from male to male in Pakistani culture. I am sure, Watson is going to assume what it means in their (Western) culture.

You forgotten about Ponting being caught by a fielder he placed there exactly for that shot? A fielder who hardly had to move? A field placing that the more knowledgeable commentators were mocking just seconds before Ponting gave him catching practice?

Yeah, he's done nothing
 
Oh my the DANGEROUS KISS is blown again by AMIR. AFRIDI EFFECT. this was a good ball but very sad it didnt got him out. i think both the bowlers are trying to unsettle watson and get under his skin which is good but they need to keep him on strike cuz watson is getting singles with ease. here is what captain ship is lacking. he isnt attacking watson or the new player. i mean no short square leg on leg fielders are on boundary....we should take chance and attack them for few overs see how it goes.

What does it mean in Pakistani Culture
 
Aamer was bowling no balls in warm up match as well as in the first innings of this test.
It,s not just inexperience,It is very poor and incompetence.

Which begs the question ,what is bowling coach doing?If can,t remedy even this habit?

In his last 6 tests now(including this one) he is averaging about 65 runs per wicket now.

Test cricket is not for learners,it is place to perform.he has pace and ability but he is far from a finished product.
Maybe only play him in one day and t20 for some while.And bring him back for tests only when he has more experience.And these 2 wickets has not changed my opinion.
They should actually drop him for next test,other wise some kind of injury is almost certain for him.

Select someone like Wahab riaz in Tests with more experience in domestic cricket and who is probably more consistent as well.
 
Watson getting a taste of his own medicine. Pity we can't do anything apart from sarcastic claps and blow gay kisses.
