Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test - Day 4 | MCG | 29/12/09

[Astro]

this is going to be a loss for sure for pak..tooo much to chase.

 

[abcanada]

I despair at the level of intelligence of some Pak posters!

If Pak batting had guts, we wouuldnt be in this situation.

True........... the longer this drags on, the better chances for Pakistan to have a draw. Very doubtful if Pakistan can survive more than 100 overs in 4th innings.

 

[*syed59*]

did he said YK is on the plane...or was he curious abt it ?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

As you have said so many time why talk about people who are NOT in the team. So lets talk about people who are responsible for setting field. Last time I checked it was Moyo.

Last time I checked it was a regulation catch that Rauf should have caught. It was a great field setting from Moyo, but Rauf had to ruin it all.

Because he put us in this mess. If he would not have quit, Moyo would not have been the captain. So blame it on iquit. No need to response. I don't want to discuss him. Let me enjoy the game. Thank you

We survived 99 in the first innings.

Afzal just hate Moyo. Moyo can't do anything right

 

[germanboy]

andhay hai wickets nazar nahi ati inko

 

[luvthegame]

bring on asif...

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Asif on.

Umar Akmal ko khara hona chaiye tha uder

 

[luvthegame]

asif back...

 

[*syed59*]

Warne obsessed with talking about the Rajasthan Royals

but makes a good point abt bringing Farhat on.

 

[luvthegame]

agree with warne....bring on IF...

 

[Chuffed]

Have you noticed a trend, all the players who are poor performers in their specialist roles are usually the ones making the most mistakes in the field.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Umar Akmal ko khara hona chaiye tha uder

But still it was an easy catch.

 

[germanboy]

i think rickey will give us half an hour or so before tea!!!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

A.Rauf has really ruined my mood..issed:

 

[germanboy]

But still it was an easy catch.

ya thats for sure

 

[Big Mac]

hahahahaha "You were the one on the left"

 

[abcanada]

We survived 99 in the first innings.

Exactly............ this is how this is playing out:

Aus - 1st Innings: 128 overs (declared)
Pak - 1st Innings: 99 overs (all out)
Aus - 2nd Innings: 70 overs (7 wickets)
Pak - 2nd Innings: probab survive 80 - 100 overs.

 

[*syed59*]

Yousuf as expected DID NOT know what watsons favourite shot is.....

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Four to Watson.

 

[ali_ed2006]

warne and farhat

 

[Digital]

Comparing farhat with warne )

 

[luvthegame]

lol...IF is a lot like warne...

 

[whyhkk]

the actions are so similar ... thats weird

 

[insaaniyat]

A.Rauf has really ruined my mood..issed:

mine too. That was an easy catch.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Come on Aamer.

 

[germanboy]

70 min. to go till tea

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

A.Rauf has really ruined my mood..issed:

Me too.

 

[*syed59*]

what use is kamran akmal as VC if he could not suggest or even force yousuf to make some good bowling changes and field placings

 

[luvthegame]

ajmal is useless..bowling too fast...bring on IF...

 

[Chuffed]

the actions are so similar ... thats weird

I can assure you their brains are different.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

ajmal is useless..bowling too fast...bring on IF...

Ajmal was never a test bowler..........

 

[germanboy]

i think 450 is the score what aus is looking for

 

[insaaniyat]

what use is kamran akmal as VC if he could not suggest or even force yousuf to make some good bowling changes and field placings

We need to be aggressive. We have to think positive. 416 is a lot of run for us already

 

[Digital]

Me too.

+1 issed:

 

[insaaniyat]

i think 450 is the score what aus is looking for

I think so too.

 

[luvthegame]

....

 

[luvthegame]

leaking runs.....

 

[Oxy]

Warne obsessed with talking about the Rajasthan Royals

Subliminal advertising....

 

[Big Mac]

We need to be aggressive. We have to think positive. 416 is a lot of run for us already

Nah, best option to save the game is to restrict the run rate so we can delay the declaration and give us less overs to bat for the draw.

 

[Chuffed]

We need to be aggressive. We have to think positive. 416 is a lot of run for us already

We should have thought like that on the first day, when it mattered most.

 

[insaaniyat]

leaking runs.....

I think that dropped catch demoralized them I hope Rauf is out forever

 

[Seen Sheen]

Declarations in both inns wont sound good...

 

[Oxy]

....

Can you STOP posting this?

 

[abcanada]

will be a shame if we can't get all 10 wickets in either innings of the match.

 

[Chuffed]

Subliminal advertising....

It'd be subliminal if he was singing it and we heard the message by backtracking the song.

This is obvious marketing for his new team.

 

[insaaniyat]

We should have thought like that on the first day, when it mattered most.

yes, but we still should have positive attitude. But I do agree with you. We started our inning with draw or lose in mind. Not good at all

 

[luvthegame]

get em boyz...

 

[saj001]

Declaration Coming soon i feel

 

[insaaniyat]

Declarations in both inns wont sound good...

223/7 we haven't done bad. It was our batting which had made a mess here

 

[filosofee]

this is going to be a loss for sure for pak..tooo much to chase.

Quite right too, did we seriously expect to win? Once again, Pakistan's pathetic catching, at times, has been exposed, but hey, it's all good Test match practice!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Why can't we get Haurtiz out? issed:

 

[germanboy]

Dec!

 

[*syed59*]

declaration comes

TARGET : 422

 

[saj001]

422 to win

how many overs to survive?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Never mind

Australia declare.

 

[insaaniyat]

gone. declared

 

[luvthegame]

ajmal got one...

 

[*syed59*]

Our team needs some dua now...so guys lets just pray.

 

[germanboy]

its up to our opener

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

I was expecting Aamer to get six, but oh well.

 

[insaaniyat]

422 to win

how many overs to survive?

why do I have a feeling we will pull it off?

 

[Digital]

ok i dont want to see a collapse here..insha allah i have a feeling we will do well n da 2nd innings

 

[Astro]

too much to chase....looking very tough.. openers will need to play a really good innings

 

[abcanada]

so how long will the opening partnership last?????? 10 overs, 20 overs??

 

[Chuffed]

I've got a feeling Watson's going to some damage with the ball. He's geed up by that knock.

 

[Dare2Dream]

It is gettable, if the top 3 can get 120!

 

[JeeraBlade]

422 to win in 140 overs at 3.01 runs an over.

We may be done today! Tomorrow will be the rest day!

 

[iafzal]

Please pray for 3 players in triple figures

 

[saj001]

Butahhh show them whos the boss

 

[insaaniyat]

Hope we get good ood opening partnershipand then Moyo, Omar show their class Insha-Allah. everyone say Aameen plz

 

[Astro]

so how long will the opening partnership last?????? 10 overs, 20 overs??

[Digital]

[germanboy]

[Chuffed]

Only 422 to win!
