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

[On_the_up]

173-5

 

[Chuffed]

Don't think Misbah wants the strike, he rushed quicker for that third.

 

[tauseefm]

Amir is blowing kisses for MJ.. wow we really have some lion heart players

 

[abdulqadir786]

yes together with Afridi

are u kidding or is afridi really coming!

 

[insaaniyat]

can rauf bat or is he just pure pie thrower?"

 

[Digital]

Salams guys ...

 

[On_the_up]

Aamer blowing kisses to MJ. Nees to break this habit fast

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

hhahaha the way they ran, it seemed like misbah is the tail ender hahahaha

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Aamer is playing like a genuine tailender.

 

[Digital]

are they playing for a draw ??

 

[Chuffed]

I don't think the Aussies are believing they can take our wickets again. They're abjectly going about their bowling. Unusual for the Australians.

 

[On_the_up]

Misbah has faced 14 balls out of 45 in this partnership.

Should be the other way around.

 

[insaaniyat]

are u kidding or is afridi really coming!

i corrected myself. That is just my wish

 

[Seen Sheen]

Salams guys ...

Waalaikumassalam Beta ..

 

[hmujtaba]

yeh score kyun nahin banatay

I think they are trying to play all the days out in these innings

OR
they want to say, ha WI lasted only 3 days we lasted more

 

[Saqib]

Once again...Amir had a good look at Mitchel Johnson... :aamir

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

I don't think the Aussies are believing they can take our wickets again. They're abjectly going about their bowling. Unusual for the Australians.

Aamer is doing well by blocking out most deliveries so this effects the morale of the Australian bowlers probally.

 

[mindless slogging]

New ball in at 11 overs. Need to score some runs before that.

 

[*sallu*]

Kamran Akkhhmal is the next man in

 

[luvthegame]

Misbah need to be replaced when YK arrives. Mishab is a coward....

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Misbah has faced 14 balls out of 45 in this partnership.

Should be the other way around.

Nooo , if you want a partnership, keep misbah away from strike. Thats the plan, aamer face 5 balls in the over and take the single on last ball. The longer it happens the better for Pakistan.

 

[*sallu*]

New ball in at 11 overs. Need to score some runs before that.

Actually i'm more fearful of the reverse swinging ball.
Its important we don't lose a wicket until the new ball

 

[insaaniyat]

I don't think the Aussies are believing they can take our wickets again. They're abjectly going about their bowling. Unusual for the Australians.

yeah we are getting bogged down again. Runs are very important. I don't know how bad or good the pitch is, but Misbah can't even take singles? is the bowling that great?

 

[saeed-sohail]

score pls

 

[Digital]

Insha Allah..we can draw/win this match

 

[adiabbasi]

were is this match heading misbah come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Misbah need to be replaced when YK arrives. Mishab is a coward....

I rather have Faisal dropped for Younis. Or a better choice drop both batsmen.

 

[tauseefm]

can rauf bat or is he just pure pie thrower?"

I think he can hold a bat but again we never know whats coming from pakistani batsmen.

 

[Fawad]

Amir is blowing kisses for MJ.. wow we really have some lion heart players

Don't our players realise how retarded this makes them look?

 

[Digital]

Pakistan 173/5 (69.3 ov)

 

[Big Mac]

Misbah in such total control that he's decided he's only going to use the edge to give Australia a chance, we're watching a true master at work here

 

[Chuffed]

What a nothing shot!

 

[insaaniyat]

4

 

[*sallu*]

Each and every tail ender in the world has a better technique than shown on that particular instance by misbah
even Martin

 

[On_the_up]

Partnership 14 off 7 and a bit overs.

The chapter titled taking singles was missing for the coaching manual Misbah read.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Kamran Akkhhmal is the next man in

Mishhbah ul Haq played a loose shot there..

 

[tauseefm]

I rather have Faisal dropped for Younis. Or a better choice drop both batsmen.

Agree drop both and bring in YK and Afridi

 

[hmujtaba]

misbah tries to give catching practice

than he apologizes to the australians that sorry if he made runs, he wasnt really planning on making runs

 

[Digital]

Four com on Missi

 

[insaaniyat]

Misbah in such total control that he's decided he's only going to use the edge to give Australia a chance, we're watching a true master at work here

master or not, hope he proves his stay on the crease worthwhile by making runs

 

[mindless slogging]

Actually i'm more fearful of the reverse swinging ball.

Aamer is afraid of the new ball. Especially if their bowlers start bouncing it (just look at all his guard). He actually defends any ball at the stumps well; even if reversing.

Misbah - I don't need to say anything.

 

[slix10]

iBhanja is worse than iTuktuk, for me. (If YK does come)

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh god, Misbah's awful

 

[On_the_up]

Good session for pakistan so far, 68 runs for 1 wkt

 

[amarmak]

Pakistan 173/5 (69.3 ov)

If Aamer stays till the new ball and survives a few overs.... i believe we can reach 300 even. Its a long shot but aamer is the key at the moment. just to make sure kami doesnt face the new cherry.

Provided that misbah doesnt get out in the other end

 

[JeeraBlade]

Kamran Akkhhmal is the next man in

What an idiot he is. Yesterday he was calling Kamran --- Kumaaan, which is an Indian name.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

misbah is saying i dont want to face johnson, keep the strike aamer

 

[insaaniyat]

Aamer is afraid of the new ball. Especially if their bowlers start bouncing it (just look at all his guard). He actually defends any ball at the stumps well; even if reversing.

Misbah - I don't need to say anything.

I wanna know about Misbah, please tell us

 

[luvthegame]

wow a 4 by misbah...

 

[Chuffed]

Weird match, it's as if both teams know the match is heading for a draw

 

[12thMan]

Pak 177-5
This session: 98 minutes, 21 overs, 68 runs, 1 wicket

 

[insaaniyat]

Weird match, it's as if both teams know the match is heading for a draw

it's not heading for a draw, that is for sure

 

[luvthegame]

a mix up and tony grieg forgot the horrible watson run out...

 

[Digital]

Macho are u from Srilanka??

 

[insaaniyat]

Pak 177-5
This session: 98 minutes, 21 overs, 68 runs, 1 wicket

thanks to Omar for that 68 runs, really

 

[iafzal]

First slip catch practice and now run out practice.

 

[Chuffed]

it's not heading for a draw, that is for sure

Who's to say it isn't? If we last out today, then it's a draw for sure.

 

[insaaniyat]

First slip catch practice and now run out practice.

salam, you wait for the bad things to happen to make a coment? don't you?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

surely at some point hauritz will come in and aamer is waiting for that time.

 

[mindless slogging]

I wanna know about Misbah, please tell us

lol, the feelings toward Misbah are universal.

Not even the commentators are praising him (and they praised Butt, Farhat and Faisal).

 

[On_the_up]

Benaud saying Iqbal was just about the fastest runner he'd ever seen.

That's Asif Iqbal before you have a heart attack.

 

[insaaniyat]

Who's to say it isn't? If we last out today, then it's a draw for sure.

well i wouldn't mind that

 

[Chuffed]

Why isn't hauritz bowling, are they scared of giving runs away?

 

[insaaniyat]

lol, the feelings toward Misbah are universal.

Not even the commentators are praising him (and they praised Butt, Farhat and Faisal).

lol I undertand

 

[Digital]

Keep some faith guys we will draw/win this match Insha Allah

 

[Big Mac]

Misbah leaving the ball by centimetres just to tease the Australians, fantastic stuff.

 

[iafzal]

salam, you wait for the bad things to heppen to make a coment? don't you?

I just don't like when professionals players act like club cricketers.

Don't mind that you reply to my critical comments only

 

[adiabbasi]

he should be kicked out the way he is playing misbah

 

[abdulqadir786]

Keep some faith guys we will draw/win this match Insha Allah

inshallah!

 

[Chuffed]

The clear difference in class between Misbah and Ukmal, so evident.

 

[saj001]

Hope we bat out the day

 

[Tapori]

Would we hear our "Pak" commentators enthuse about opposition former players as these commentators talked highly of Asif Iqbal?

 

[amarmak]

Macho are u from Srilanka??

no bhai... from the land of pakpassion

 

[insaaniyat]

I just don't like when professionals players act like club cricketers.

Don't mind that you reply to my critical comments only

but i do agree with you Misbah is no good. He might as well get into T20 mode and may be he will give us some quick runs, instead of hogging the crease without any runs to show for

 

[tauseefm]

I can't stand Misbah's bating. He has only two modes, Tuk Tuk and hit hit.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Misbah charging out of his crease, but to no success.

 

[adiabbasi]

soon misbah will hit a slog shot and get out

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Come on Misbah of 2007, get rid of this imposter.

 

[insaaniyat]

I can't stand Misbah's bating. He has only two modes, Tuk Tuk and hit hit.

has he been hitting lately. all I have seen is tuk tuk.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Aamir is doing well by taking the strike and protecting the tailender.
