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

[insaaniyat]

Loose stuff from Ajmal...

Kaneria had to be in. Ajmal I still think good for ODI

 

[Romali_rotti]

Sorry to say but this test match is as good as over for Pak.... Might as well start planning for the 2nd test 1-0 lead to Oz................

 

[octavian]

Rauf has undone all the good work of Asif and aamer

 

[insaaniyat]

Sorry to say but this test match is as good as over for Pak.... Might as well start planning for the 2nd test 1-0 lead to Oz................

I think we can save the match.

 

[ahsan17]

Rauf and Ajmal releasing all pressure by bowling pies down the leg side.

 

[Khabri420]

Sorry to say but this test match is as good as over for Pak.... Might as well start planning for the 2nd test 1-0 lead to Oz................

Why look who it is...

 

[shaaan]

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.

Well...

YK has captained in 5 games on his own...and the record is 0-2-3

MoYo has captained in 3 games so far and the record is 1-1-1.

As for your assertion that captaining in Ind/SL is same is in Pakistan then I beg to differ. The pitches in SL are much more difficult then the ones in Pak.

 

[USaqaf]

We can save it if these can take 2 more wickets by the close.

 

[insaaniyat]

Rauf has undone all the good work of Asif and aamer

I thought he was good. Never saw him bowl before this test. Looks very ordinary

 

[Chuffed]

Sorry to say but this test match is as good as over for Pak.... Might as well start planning for the 2nd test 1-0 lead to Oz................

I agree, and on that note, Good Morning to all. I'm off for some kip.

 

[daghetto]

rauf please stop bowling you crap piece of ****

 

[Big Mac]

Don't get me started about ur stats abilities now. You have already lost ur credibility.

Haha Younis comes out worse in most statistical comparisons so it's my credibility and not YK's that's damaged. He truly is lucky to have such devoted worshippers

 

[shaaan]

I think we can save the match.

I think we can save this match..Pitch is good for batting, we just need to keep our top order wicket in hands when its our turn to bat.

 

[insaaniyat]

how many overs left?

 

[octavian]

I thought he was good. Never saw him bowl before this test. Looks very ordinary

I think i saw him in SL or something. Looked ordinary back then looks horrible now.

 

[insaaniyat]

I think we can save this match..Pitch is good for batting, we just need to keep our top order wicket in hands when its our turn to bat.

correct

 

[Big Mac]

Well...

YK has captained in 5 games on his own...and the record is 0-2-3

MoYo has captained in 3 games so far and the record is 1-1-1.

As for your assertion that captaining in Ind/SL is same is in Pakistan then I beg to differ. The pitches in SL are much more difficult then the ones in Pak.

So after this series, worst case scenario for Yousuf is 1-1-4 compared to 0-2-3

 

[ahsan17]

Sorry to say but this test match is as good as over for Pak.... Might as well start planning for the 2nd test 1-0 lead to Oz................

True. Looking forward to seeing Gul, Kaneria, and Younis in 2nd test.

 

[octavian]

We need a Kami special from Kamran while batting to save this one now.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Ajmal is not a Test class bowler, very easy to neutralize him

 

[shaaan]

So after this series, worst case scenario for Yousuf is 1-1-4 compared to 0-2-3

Actually worst case scenario would be 1-4-1 for MoYo. But I sincerely hope that we win and if not win then at least draw one game here.

 

[saj001]

AAmer back

 

[kingusama92]

Aamer is back.

 

[insaaniyat]

Ajmal is not a Test class bowler, very easy to neutralize him

Ponting praised him, we got him in. lol. Kaneria should have been playing

 

[kamranO]

hauritz is much better than ajmal

 

[Big Mac]

We need a Kami special from Kamran while batting to save this one now.

I want to see 5 sessions of tuk tuk from Butt that has all of PP crying their eyes out about intent

 

[octavian]

Aamer back. Ya Allah save this guy form injury.

 

[insaaniyat]

Aamer is back.

good move

 

[insaaniyat]

Aamer back. Ya Allah save this guy form injury.

Allah will save him, Now he needs to give us few more wickets today

 

[kamranO]

So We Need Kaneria Now I think Guyz Ready for Losing this match Only Allah Can help us if it would rain.

 

[IAJ]

wow Aamer hitting 152 km/h today. That is quick!

 

[Big Mac]

Ponting praised him, we got him in. lol. Kaneria should have been playing

He's injure his spinning finger, I'd rather rest him for one game and make sure he's fit to play in the third (possibly the second) test than make him bowl with an injury in this test and then miss the rest of the series.

 

[octavian]

I want to see 5 sessions of tuk tuk from Butt that has all of PP crying their eyes out about intent

the only problem with that is Kami has done it on a few occasions already. Butt hasn't.

 

[kamranO]

M.Sami Will Back in 2nd test

 

[saj001]

Maiden

 

[Big Mac]

the only problem with that is Kami has done it on a few occasions already. Butt hasn't.

That's why I want to see Butt do it, sequels get boring

 

[kamranO]

Is There any chance of rain in Australia

 

[Big Mac]

M.Sami Will Back in 2nd test

Then we're screwed if the pitch is like this

 

[octavian]

Hint of reverse for aamer. maiden to start.

 

[kamranO]

the only problem with that is Kami has done it on a few occasions already. Butt hasn't.

But you know kami was support by Razza 170 balls for 70 odd runs

 

[daghetto]

lmao at ajmals slomo action

 

[kamranO]

290 still enough for bowl this pathetic pakistani batting line-up on this pitch ahhahaha

 

[luvthegame]

.....

 

[octavian]

15 mins remaining. we need watson badly. shaba shaba Saeed!

 

[HIT64]

Its very difficult from here to save the game for PAK................MOYO n Misbah holds key in 2nd inings

 

[saj001]

6

 

[insaaniyat]

Watson go home please

 

[kingusama92]

Phainty shot from Watson.

 

[octavian]

But you know kami was support by Razza 170 balls for 70 odd runs

its a sin to mention razzaq's name on this site. sshh

 

[PapaBear]

For a change we have commentators who are giving Pakistan's point of view, very refreshing change from NewZealand.

 

[insaaniyat]

Watson go home please

I asked him to go home, he sends the ball home. Not nice watson

 

[octavian]

That's why I want to see Butt do it, sequels get boring

good lukl waiting for that one. this movie is never seein the light of the day

 

[Inswinger]

Things looking bleak at the moment.

 

[tauseefm]

I asked him to go home, he sends the ball home. Not nice watson

Unlike our batsmen

 

[kingusama92]

Ponting will probably declare by Lunch tomorrow.

 

[insaaniyat]

Unlike our batsmen

Well slow the run rate or take wickets. Watson should go now

 

[Imy]

Aamir should not be bowling let Rauf do the donkey work, this kid may get injured

 

[sali]

You can't bowl the Aus team with two strike bowlers. Who the hell was deciding the team?

 

[Imy]

well most ppers wanted Ajmal and Rauf

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Inswinger - lead crosses 303 with 3 wickets down and so are my hopes

 

[octavian]

Aamir should not be bowling let Rauf do the donkey work, this kid may get injured

i second that. we are looking at a draw in the best of scenarios.

i wud have given Rauf 15overs in a row.

 

[insaaniyat]

Inswinger - lead crosses 303 with 3 wickets down and so are my hopes

yaar don't be down. We can still save the match, Insha-Allah

 

[waqasmalik]

I think no need to make Ameer tired, We can use part timer like Farhat and Rauf. Lead is already over 300...
I think with the Australian batting line they can still survive tomorrow's first session. This is what they will be planning, or maybe even earlier once they touch 400...

 

[taqi]

one wicket before close of play just to feel good

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

yaar don't be down. We can still save the match, Insha-Allah

inshaAllah hugs

 

[tauseefm]

150.5 km

 

[insaaniyat]

Rest Aamer!!!!! for gods sake

 

[insaaniyat]

[WithLoveFromCanada]

we are missing Gul and Kaneria! definitely we need gul instead of this clown camel.

 

[tauseefm]

If i was bowling last over of the day i would put all the fielders around the batsman

 

[luvthegame]

.....

 

[octavian]

crap last few overs from ajmal

 

[USaqaf]

Yousuf will have bat through his skin to save this one.

 

[tauseefm]

ok guys have a good night. hopefully we will do better tomorrow

 

[insaaniyat]

If i was bowling last over of the day i would put all the fielders around the batsman

but u r not in playing X1 It was just fine. Now they will play till lunch and will dare us to chase over 400 runs. Not a good sign. Hopefuly we will be able to draw the match

 

[insaaniyat]

ok guys have a good night. hopefully we will do better tomorrow

[WithLoveFromCanada]
