how so? it was clearly touching the grass, how can that be out?

His gloves were clearly wrapped under the ball
 
Why umar WHY did you go defensive? WHO told you to go defensive? WHY couldn't you play your NORMAL game? WHY?
 
amazing that inspite of all this experience our team cannot tolerate any fall of wicket and if it happens all follow after him.
 
at least dont give him a hattrick...common now. :69:
 
Kami out there in the first over, two wickets down....heck, who says we are predictable! :(
 
Do they even know how to leave a ball...MJ's balls are all angled across, he never can bring the ball back in...even if it's pitched on middle off it will be missing off stump...these professional test cricketers should have figured this out by now...
 
that ball touched the ground, he even used the left hand to pull it in.
wrong decision it was not a catch
 
to be fair, nearly all Johnsons deliveries leave the right hander. Misbah could have left that ball easily. Take a lesson from Watson, how well did he leave in both innings esp at the start.

Misbah has to go, Younis for Misbah

hahahahahahahaha he faced three balls this morning, THREE. That's enough for you to determine he was going to block all day?
 
Mark Taylor has an ugly voice! Sounds like an irritating child.
 
Why does it always happen to us Pakistani fans ? You so eagerly wait for the game to begin and then more often than not.. we are dissapointment.

Asoka would have lost his job then...for messing with Aussies...

The one to Misbah was really hard to leave, ended up only just outside offstump. That's almost the perfect delivery
 
Pakistan + Australia + Pressure = not good watching for Pakistani fans. No wonder ricky declared both times.. he knows we will ALWAYS fold under the pressure.
 
i think we should sleep as it is very predictable now. i think AUS will win. one has to be realistic as well.
 
We need 250 runs partnership from these two, so we can win.
 
We have still 3 batsmen left, let us see how close we come.

Benefit should have gone to the batsman

Oh please
if it was the other way around you would all be saying what a great decision it was

The fact of the matter is there was no doubt

The cameras in no way suggested the ball hit the grass. It was well caught and was a legit wicket
 
Where was the slomo camera now with Umar that they used so much to show Yousef dismissal in 1st innings?

He just walked to the crease dude.

atleast save this match...plzzzzzz

That is going to be impossible. If they last the entire day, they will win it. Most likely, this will be over before lunch.
 
misbah knows that he has done enough in the 1st innings to be back in the next match...
 
pakistani team are in hurry to finish here becoz they want to wellcome :yk at airport.... :))
 
correct me if i am worng............ we still have to face the change of ball. That will result in atleast 2 wickets.
 
cmon guys thats whats so good and unpredictable about this game...just look at how England changed the game in the space of a few overs in South Africa

Knowing that he never brings the ball in and his balls is coming with the angle across plus the away movement...the ball even pitched on middle-off would miss off stump....Misbah an educated test cricket should be able to figure this much...
 
Woah, 2 wickets down already!!!

Yousuf and Akmal should look for some form here; Yousuf for a century and Akmal a 50.
 
We started the day with Yousuf and Akmal batting and we still have Yousuf and Akmal batting but the match complexion has changed.
 
Unfortunately, judging by the way the ball is swinging, I don't think we can win this match.

Bhaijaan that WAS his normal game! A solid defensive player or a tailend block might have played inside the line or not managed an edge... still difficult though from where he was standing plus good delivery....

Pakistan collapsing under pressure.. i think a lot of people would have accurately predicted this.
 
typical 'blame-all' approach by pak fans. it was a clean catch, don't worry abt the optical illusion. the commentators can't influence anything. what sort of a shot was it anyways?
 
Dont be too hard on the guys, they were pretty good deliveries. I wouldn't blame them. Sometimes you just have to say well bowled to the opposition.

there was enough doubt there. May not have been given if it was an Aussie batsman.

Absurd. Don't make us the victim. Losers talk like this. Don't put us at that level.

The umpiring and commentating in this series has been very fair.

And if my blasted willow tv would stop timing out I'm sure I could give you a fair reason why this play also was fairly adjudicated.

C'mon WILLOW!
 
This is cricket anything can happen. First we need 250 runs partnership, then we will win. Yousaf kami GO!
