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

[Big Mac]

Great pull shot from Johnson

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot by MJ for four

 

[Digital]

the best I have seen. It is like a cat and mouse game. love test cricket

True man ..real treat to watch :aamir

 

[On_the_up]

BOOOF MJ through midwkt and long on for 4

 

[insaaniyat]

so he is on 95 now? looks like we can't stop it now

 

[saj001]

44

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Finally a boundary !!

 

[Chuffed]

Rauf as usual releases all the pressure!

 

[UP]

Shaabaa Shaabaaaa Raufayyyyyyyy

 

[*sallu*]

Rauf as usual releases all the pressure!

C'mon hes bowled like 3 maidens in a row

What do you want, a 100 maidens on the trot

One had to go sooner or later, give credit where its due

 

[Seen Sheen]

Ask our fishers and they will tell you how easy it is to get out to a ball outside off

But Asif isnt bowling to his own 'Macheeras'... ...

 

[Khabri420]

Finally a boundary !!

Who you rooting for

 

[*syed59*]

I cant understand why abdur rauf just cannot bowl a straighter one.. its mind boggling.
Its ok now....you have bowled enough of those. Get one right at the middle stump and fast. or even slow.

almost dragged !!!

 

[Big Mac]

ooooooh, so close to playing onto the stumps

 

[insaaniyat]

I dob't want to see that Watson's celebration, when he makes his 100. That would be painful to watch

 

[saj001]

Nearly! inside egde and safe

 

[*sallu*]

Ooohhh
How close was that yaar? Darn it

 

[Seen Sheen]

so he is on 95 now? looks like we can't stop it now

still F I V E more runs remaining...!!!!!!

 

[Oxy]

MJ nearly plays on - Rauf unlucky again

175-6 (lead 371)

 

[Chuffed]

Must say, that is unlucky for Rauf.

 

[Big Mac]

Rauf as usual releases all the pressure!

The Rauf with a better economy rate this innings than both Ajmal and Aamer?

 

[*sallu*]

Important not to be bowl short and wide
Keep it full and wide

 

[insaaniyat]

We need some luck break, I will be back after this over, hope Watson is gone as usual in his 90's

 

[*syed59*]

not enought reverse by asif...

 

[JeeraBlade]

Test matches in which both opening batsmen from one side were dismissed in the 90s in the same innings.

Ind v[B] Pak [/B] Lahore    1978-79 SM Gavaskar 97/CPS Chauhan 93
Ind v Aus  Calcutta  1997-98 VVS Laxman 95/NS Sidhu 97
[B]Pak[/B] v Eng  The Oval  2006    Mohammad Hafeez 95/Imran Farhat 91
Aus v [B]Pak[/B]  Melbourne 2009-10 SR Watson 93/SM Katich 98

 

[Oxy]

I dob't want to see that Watson's celebration, when he makes his 100. That would be painful to watch

Im looking forward to it - he deserves it

 

[Seen Sheen]

good at time-wasting tactics..!!

 

[*sallu*]

2 men at cover means hes going to make him drive outside off

 

[Tapori]

*sallu* - spot on-

 

[akafen]

A very good spell by Rauf. He's a good bowler just needs some confidence.

 

[Seen Sheen]

We need some luck break, I will be back after this over, hope Watson is gone as usual in his 90's

Thats more like it...!!

 

[*syed59*]

OH MYYYYYY....that almost bowled him

 

[akafen]

I would like to see Aamer come on for 1 over before the lunch break.

 

[Seen Sheen]

ohhhh,almost got him round his legs..!!

 

[saj001]

So close

 

[UP]

Very good keeping.

 

[pak4life]

brilliant bowling

 

[Digital]

Damn so close ...

 

[On_the_up]

Watto on 96

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Beauty by Asif.

 

[Oxy]

Jeez that was so close! Coat of paint away from bowling Watson

Hes 96*

 

[*syed59*]

how much more time to lunch????

 

[On_the_up]

Watson's joint highest score

 

[JeeraBlade]

What a misfield at this time bowlers (Asif) are busting their butt to keep Watson in 90s!

 

[UP]

I think Aamer should replace rauf.

 

[germanboy]

four away please bing back Aamir from other end

 

[Inswinger]

how much more time to lunch????

12 minutes.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Asif is bowling superbly. Goes on to show why he is the best bowler in Test cricket.

 

[Oxy]

176-6

Lead is 372

 

[On_the_up]

Rauf to continue

 

[germanboy]

nope Rauf stay.. hope he will get him

 

[Seen Sheen]

Tony Greig trying his best to jinx Watson..

 

[Kriketer]

Bring on Amir...get nervous Watsonout!!

 

[asifp]

maaaaaaaaaaaan

that was like 1mm away from a succesfull execution of a brilliant plan

 

[*syed59*]

12 minutes.

ok thanx bro

 

[pak4life]

come on rauf no freebies

 

[Chuffed]

Should have brought Aamer on, would have done a far better job, especially with the away swing.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

four away please bing back Aamir from other end

Aamir will help Watson get his century. Look at his economy rate.

 

[Oxy]

please bing back Aamir from other end

Lets bowl him from both ends...

 

[*sallu*]

Aamer around the wicket to Watson moviing it away wouldbe interesting to watch with Watto on 96

 

[On_the_up]

Rauf will bowl a short ball which either will go for 4 or get Watson out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Watson letting the ball go through to Kami

 

[*sallu*]

Good accuracy from Rauf
Touchwood

 

[UP]

Shaaba Shaabaa Shabaaaaaa

 

[Seen Sheen]

Aamer around the wicket to Watson moviing it away wouldbe interesting to watch with Watto on 96

Yeah :aamir would be a handul... :aamir

 

[Digital]

Good bowling tempting the batsman..

 

[On_the_up]

chased a wide one, mistimed, gets a single.

 

[Oxy]

Oh jammy Watson - wide and nearly caught!

97*

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Goes in the air but safe

Loose shot though by Twatson

 

[saj001]

Lucky watson

 

[UP]

That was in the air but safe.

 

[germanboy]

44

 

[On_the_up]

MJ hits one of the hip for 4

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot by Johnson for 4

 

[*sallu*]

Oh No
Pressure release

 

[Oxy]

What a great shot from MJ - this guy is class.

Averages the same as Butt!!!

 

[don1990]

mj ::4

 

[Seen Sheen]

That was a poor delivery...cant afford to bowl short...

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

In the air, but safe.

 

[UP]

Another 4 for Johnson.
