Ajmal doesnot look like he knows how to take wickets does he
 
Kay, any momentum is officially lost. Rauf just cannot keep the pressure on these guys and Ajmal needs some guys around the bat to be threatening...

Well Yousuf has won twice as many tests as Younis and lost fewer. Cricket is about results, no?

Pffft, were you not here during the first half of Pakistan's innings? It's not about the end result, what's important is the "intent" and the posturing

Add Gul/sami with Danish in Sydney and the attack becomes truly world class with all wicket takers or pacy

Yep, Who picked Rauf over Sami/Gul? If we are lucky to draw this one, Aus will face non stop aggression with Kaneria and Sami/Gul back
 
Still, that's the right length for Rauf because he's definitely getting the ball to swing into the right hander

We are going backwards rather then going forward even after producing results. Don't you think there is something terribly wrong? hint (:moyo)
 
Watch now that Rudi knows Pak don't have any reviews...he won't even give the legit outs now...
 
I can't see anymore wickets going today, the momentum has well and truly been lost by AR. Containment for today.
 
Akmals and team has gone quite...not good. Aus need 90 more to win the game

Been going backwards since Inzi left tbh, doesn't change the fact that Yousuf is the best candidate for the captaincy right now.
 
Didn't the management see this Camel bowl in the nets...how could they have played him in place of Gul or Sami...

did you guys notice that Rauf asked for review himself and yousuf was pretty much pssed off at that!

you mean to say we don't have any review left now. By the Rauf is real bad. We have t o contain them.
 
WHy the hell is he bowling on the leg side. bad bowler. i thought he was good bowler but boy its over for him. no place for him in next 10 years. bowling on a bad line in 6 balls gets one good bowl. screw that. plz bring back amir inplace rauf. amir got good rest now.

Like Zardari :13:
 
Looks like Rauf did hit the pad first...it was a slight smudge then the ball hit the bat and came back to hit the pad again and this time there was a more clear spot...so there were two spots on the pad...one a little faded and the other more clear...

Well get your facts correct.

YK has captained in 9 tests winning 1 and losing 3
MoYo has captained in 7 test winning 2 and losing 3

So he has not lost fewer then YK as you insists. And after this Aussie series MoYo would have captained in more tests then YK and then we will be able to compare apples to apples in terms of number of matches captained.
 
come on Rauf, pitch it up. If he hits you for four, pitch it up again. Just keep it pitched up and at the stumps
 
So much for all that work done by Asif and Aamer.

Kaneria would have been nice here. We should give Farhat a try.

Last time I checked Zardari doesn't average over 50 in test cricket

Umar Akmal avg more then 50 does it mean he should be captain? You need to have some special skills to become a captain rather the 50 avg.
 
Runs are coming easy. All the pressure is and momentum is gone.

Another 5 overs, we shuld give Asif and Ameer last 10 (5 each) to bowl.
 
1st change bowler has actually lost us a winning session, his energy levels were key to how we would fair for the remainder of today. He's had a lacklustre performance, as a result they've been allowed to come back into this game.
 
I just cant unerstand how people find ajmal threatning as a test bowler except for one ball in the fist innings he has not look like taking a wicket, he is tight yes but not that tight

Can't remember the exact stats off the top of my head but hasn't Yousuf captained a lot more of his tests outside the subcontinent whereas Younis has had the luxury of captaining more of his tests in Pak/Ind/SL?

Remind us what their win/loss records are when they weren't standing in for Inzi too.

I think we need to bring them back now. What is there to wait. If we don't get them out cheap, they will score their run and declare anyway. Time for an all out attack

And who exactly possess these special skills to become a captain in your eyes? :yk :yk :yk
 
Give Farhat or Umar Akmal (decent bowler at the u-19 level) the damn ball for an over or two. What's there to lose.
 
Ball is soft now so the quick bowlers aren't going to get anything from the pitch, it's all up to Ajmal to create something now

Don't get me started about ur stats abilities now. You have already lost ur credibility. :akhtar
 
I predict a streaker will run to congratulate Watson if gets a 100 this time.....

2 more runs and Watson equals his record of highest number of runs scored in a Match, 144 against Windies, the series just gone by. So if anything, he's due to get out.
