Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test - Day 5 | MCG | 30/12/09

[On_the_up]

Akmal still to get off the mark having faced 15 deliveries

 

[adzzy786]

But he isnt in the starting XI for us today...

)

 

[Uzi]

Don't worry guys, we have still got guys like Asif and Rauf to come.

 

[UP]

Aal izz well

+ :akmal = 248

AAll izz Welll

 

[slix10]

I am never making a match thread again!

It's all your fault.

 

[saj001]

50 for yousuf

 

[*sallu*]

Well played Yousuf
Class innings

 

[On_the_up]

Yousuf hits slightly wide of the mid on fielder and runs. home safely in the end.

 

[Big Mac]

Sounds like you haven't played any cricket...at least not hard-ball cricket...

)

All new batsmen try to leave balls first up, because it's the easiest thing to do, and especially so when the previous guy was caught behind...

Which is why it was such a good delivery ffs, I didn't see you saying Clarke, Haddin and Katich got out to crap deliveries that they should have left. Give credit to the bowler, he bowled a fantastic delivery

 

[naqlipathan]

how much more proof do we need that misbah is not a solid test calibre player?

how much more are we prepared to be fooled?

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

50 to Yousuf..

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

50 for Yousuf.

 

[UP]

Congrats Yousaf

 

[iZeeshan]

There's a reason why YOusuf is still out there.

IF Akmal can just get it on...

 

[amar1212]

how much more proof do we need that misbah is not a solid test calibre player?

[On_the_up]

[DOOSRA95]

[luvthegame]

[Seen Sheen]

Where is Hauritz-the 'cracking' spinner?Bring him on Ricky..

 

[iZeeshan]

They really shouldn't stop their scoring.

It's not like they're gonna draw this game.

They might as well keep playing and hope for the best

 

[12thMan]

what is the required runrate?

3.9 runs an over

 

[Cheguvera]

Yeah cause I don't know if you noticed, but none of them got out to first ball

They all got out after they had played a few overs and were comfortable except for Haddin who had to play at the ball as it was on his offstump and angling in...Don't worry I won't hold it against you as not knowing these nuances is only natural for those who haven't faced a singe hard ball in a competitive match...

You will have to work harder then that to be Misbah's fan club president...

 

[ShehryarK]

Holy ****, that was an unbelievable delivery

Come on, you know better than that.

Its ALWAYS our batsman's fault, esp. if the batter isn't Aamir or Umar or Fawad.

Didn't you know that MJ is a SLA, a bit like Rajesh Chauhan?
And that Siddle is half the bowler Rauf is?

 

[adzzy786]

I think ive almost had 3 heart attacks in the last 3 mins lol

 

[ShehryarK]

what is the required runrate?

0 runs an over for 82 overs to save the game.

 

[Uzi]

dont worry guys...have hope...

I find it very hard to have hope right now.

Aussies have won this. A disastrous start, but credit to MJ

 

[luvthegame]

I think Pak will go for the draw now....

 

[Oxy]

I think ive almost had 3 heart attacks in the last 3 mins lol

Yet still you post..miracle

 

[iZeeshan]

There's 0 chance of this being a draw.

Please keep going.

 

[Vegitto1]

Why MJ why!!!

 

[luvthegame]

see the MJ fizzle is gone...only had to survive the first few overs...

 

[Oxy]

I think Pak will go for the draw now....

I think we have a candidate for next Pak captain

 

[Astro]

time to start preparing for the second test..

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

there wont be a draw . its either win or bust with pakistan.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

why are they not showing the girls who wanted to marry micheal clarke? i think message should be forwarded more than once?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot by Kami

 

[On_the_up]

good shot by akmal for 4

 

[Lodhiz]

Cover drive with power. Could this be the turn around?

 

[Astro]
