[Shaheerthe2nd]

Is Asif even on the field?

 

[*syed59*]

 

[Digital]

Good over AR

 

[kingusama92]

Good over from Rauf.

Although I am surprised that Asif hasn't been brought on.

 

[saj001]

Asif on

 

[jazba]

Good over by Rauf

 

[insaaniyat]

3 quick wickets under 9 Insha-Allah

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Thats better

Asif coming on for the 1st time today!

 

[*syed59*]

your wishes granted...here he comes....

 

[On_the_up]

Asif is about to come on.

 

[Khabri420]

Just keep it tight, make them work for their runs.

 

[farsiddiqui]

Asif in now!

 

[ali_ed2006]

They are overdoing aamer and his age thing. just drop it now.

 

[On_the_up]

A real loosener first up.

 

[kingusama92]

Asif is on now. I guess Yousuf wanted Asif to bowl from that end.

 

[Digital]

Here comes the man

 

[Seen Sheen]

ohh no,:aamir is replaced by ..I wanted him to bowl one more over at Watson..

 

[insaaniyat]

Man Imran should have held on to that chance really

 

[choclate]

ok Asif probably wanted the same end where Aamer was coming from

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

I guess Aamer needed rest now. Asif on.

 

[don1990]

so finally asif comes......

 

[coy0607]

seems like rauf was on to let the real bowlers change ends, thank god

 

[insaaniyat]

ohh no,:aamir is replaced by ..I wanted him to bowl one more over at Watson..

aamir will come back from the other end

 

[Daytripped]

please tell me why Watson is called 'MJ'. Please?

 

[Seen Sheen]

setting him up for the inswinger...!!

 

[Chuffed]

Clever tactic, must commend Moyo for this. Watson is prone to making a mistake at this stage

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

please tell me why Watson is called 'MJ'. Please?

He's not. MJ is Mitchell Johnson.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok it seems the team management want and :aamir to bowl from one end while and Rauf from other end.

 

[insaaniyat]

gone in this over

 

[*syed59*]

A real loosener first up.

I guess thats a PLAN

 

[Digital]

I want aamir and asif to attack Watson

 

[Seen Sheen]

aamir will come back from the other end

I dont think so...

 

[farsiddiqui]

What happened to Asif's line?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

What happened to Asif's line?

It's all part of the plan.

 

[insaaniyat]

What happened to Asif's line?

intentional

 

[Seen Sheen]

only a single slip for Watson......

 

[farsiddiqui]

intentional

You really think so? I'm not so sure.

 

[Seen Sheen]

gone in this over

 

[jazba]

You really think so? I'm not so sure.

it's absolutely intentional.

 

[Digital]

2 maidens in a row

 

[luvthegame]

watooo is in pressure...good one by pak...excellent fight back....

 

[Daytripped]

He's not. MJ is Mitchell Johnson.

Oh oh. Someone said 'Brad Haddin and MJ' and I assumed they was talking about the current batsmen. I feel stupid now. Fail.

 

[Oxy]

I like the wide outside offstump line to Watson.

After the 1st inngs - he'll be nervous.

Hes no Sehwag!

 

[luvthegame]

good accurate bowling...dont give away anything boys...

 

[insaaniyat]

well, may be next over? or may be stays not out in his 90's when their inning is over

 

[*sallu*]

By bowling so tightly, we have also increases our chances of saving this game

Ausies would have been looking at a declaration at lunch but instead have probably lost a session due to the good bowling

 

[insaaniyat]

By bowling so tightly, we have also increases our chances of saving this game

Ausies would have been looking at a declaration at lunch but instead have probably lost a session due to the good bowling

[Seen Sheen]

[luvthegame]

[Digital]

Com n AR get MJ

 

[Seen Sheen]

[saj001]

[*syed59*]

[Oxy]

3rd consecutive maiden

 

[Seen Sheen]

What does this suppose to mean?

TO BE CONTINUED..

 

[Tapori]

Shows Yousuf isnt a chump - Like these unsettling tactics.!

 

[germanboy]

hope asif will get him

 

[*sallu*]

Glad to see Rauf playing his part

 

[Oxy]

Wide called - its a great plan.

I'd continue with it

 

[Seen Sheen]

Time for an inswinger..!!

 

[luvthegame]

watooo is in pressure...

 

[Oxy]

Asif getting under Watson's skin.

Only get this in test cricket

 

[*syed59*]

Is it me or the slips are standing a little too close ?

 

[Seen Sheen]

frustating Watson..

 

[germanboy]

surely a chance there to get Watson

 

[*syed59*]

too close to the batsmen i mean

 

[farsiddiqui]

it's absolutely intentional.

still think so?

 

[luvthegame]

good tactics..go give anything to these guys....

 

[Oxy]

Half hearted cover drive - hes nervous!

 

[Digital]

Nervous 90's

 

[insaaniyat]

Asif getting under Watson's skin.

Only get this in test cricket

Nothing beats the test matches

 

[*syed59*]

just happy for the time that is being used up.... good on us i hope

 

[12thMan]

I hope Pakistan gets them all out for 200. They will be chasing around 400. Target to get to 100 for 0 or 1 wicket at end of day

 

[pak4life]

something has to give

 

[Oxy]

Is it me or the slips are standing a little too close ?

Does it matter where they stand - its not like they will catch it!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Why isnt he bowling the inswinger......!!!!

 

[*sallu*]

Watson being extra cautious
Hes gotten some balls he could cut but hes left them and hasn't gone at those hes played whole heartedly

Good plan, very hesitant batting by Watson

 

[Tapori]

Which of our players keeps laughing during Raufs deliveries?

like 'ahh ahh ahahaaaa'?

 

[insaaniyat]

something has to give

wicket insha-allah

 

[Oxy]

I love this drama.
