Yousuf looks so funny in that pink hat ) )

 

[LG]

I think Sami is a great replacement for Aamer.

Pfft... Replacement for Aamir? You must be kidding me.

 

[ZAK]

T20 used him well - as he stood on the boundary for 12th man duties

I think he should be appointed as the official spokesperson for the pak team after he retires .

 

[iZeeshan]

Pink caps?

 

[Slickman]

Catches win matches.. but this dosent apply to our team !so all our bolwers must hit the stumps or get lbw easy peasy !

 

[Oxy]

Out of interest - can Sami hit 90 mph - average bowlers all over the world seem to be able to quite easily.

Because an 80mph Sami is going to be of little use to us

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Yousuf looks so funny in that pink hat ) )

hahaha damn right

 

[waqar_ahmad]

I really hope he can hustle them up with his pace. I don't want to see another 130K trundler.

Yeah, I have always been a Sami fan, but not the medium pace trundler. I dont care if he goes for runs, just go out there and bowl fast

 

[12thMan]

Pakistani players signing the pink caps. MoYo talking with McGrath. Initiative taken by Pakistan team to wear the pink caps and return them to McGrath Foundation

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Bada hi "Dostana" mahol lag raha hai

 

[Oxy]

Pink caps?

Aussie tradition in Sydney

 

[cricfan967]

10 more minutes!

 

[Free Hit]

Do you think that Afridi is that captain?

in t20 he's the best, so i used our plus point than

 

[ZAK]

looking very elegant in that pink cap .

 

[Momo]

Jan 2 will henceforth be referred to as the Muhammad Sami day.

 

[bantu]

Ponting is the king of tosse(r)s................................

 

[insaaniyat]

Catches win matches.. but this dosent apply to our team !so all our bolwers must hit the stumps or get lbw easy peasy !

no chance for LBW with those umpires

 

[saj001]

Pink hat

Our player's already cant catch , now they have another distraction ) )

 

[adzzy786]

Good Luck Sami
Cant wait

 

[insaaniyat]

Jan 2 will henceforth be referred to as the Muhammad Sami day.

Insha-Allah in a good way

 

[cricfan967]

National Anthem
Who's actually standing up in their homes?

 

[adzzy786]

Pakistan ANTHM

 

[Veteran]

I really hope to see Sami blow us away with his pace today

Well, things do come full circle. I remember when Sami bore the brunt of everyone's abuse. Now he is being viewed as a potential saviour!

 

[Oxy]

3 am - I need sleep. Shame about the rain

 

[Bongo]

Oh great!! Fielding on a wet outfield. We can't catch the ball when its dry. What chance have we got with the wet ball?
Our only realistic options are bowled, lbw or batsman hit wicket

 

[cricfan967]

Why'd they choose HIM ?

 

[adzzy786]

National Anthem
Who's actually standing up in their homes?

Me

 

[abcanada]

why is Aamir out of this test????? did he get injured or something?

 

[Astro]

horrible pakistan country song by some douche

 

[12thMan]

Mahmood Khan to sing Pakistan anthem. Everyone stand up. You don't have to be in public to stand up

 

[d0gers]

who's Mahmood Khan i.e. the guy doing the Pak anthem?

 

[Black Zero]

36.36% of Pakistani players are Safarshi. F F M S

 

[cricfan967]

This man's voice is cracking up like there's no tomorrow.

 

[adzzy786]

why is Aamir out of this test????? did he get injured or something?

GROIN injury

 

[Oxy]

Not in my household!

[Momo]

[iafzal]

couldn't they find a better singer?

 

[Astro]

sounds like a bunch of dieing donkeys when this mahmood guy sings it

 

[cricfan967]

Aussie's have a much better singer

 

[d0gers]

wow.. that amazing performance must have really lifted the team's spirits
/sarcasm

 

[pakistanbest]

I back sami for fiery comeback, got a good feeling about him

 

[Free Hit]

the worst voice i have ever heard off(national anthem guy for pak)

 

[sada90]

i am impressed

Pak national anthem is being played, I mean a person is singing it,
not tunes,
this is the first time i have seen actual person singing before cricket match

 

[karachiite]

Out of interest - can Sami hit 90 mph - average bowlers all over the world seem to be able to quite easily.

Because an 80mph Sami is going to be of little use to us

What use was 90mph Sami?

 

[12thMan]

National Anthem

We used to shut off TV in Pakistan if it was still on when anthem came on. It meant end of PTV transmission for the day

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Man, that guys voice cracked me up.

 

[saj001]

3 am - I need sleep. Shame about the rain

Part-Timer :naved

 

[sali]

Aus softening up Pak bowlers by making them wear pink caps.

 

[cricfan967]

) ) ) )

 

[ZAK]

That guys voice was the worst i have heard in quite a while.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Australian singer much better than Pakistan singer.

 

[Imy]

In the Quid Final Sami was express and moving the ball, hope he balls like that today

 

[amar1212]

[insaaniyat]

3 am - I need sleep. Shame about the rain

[iafzal]

Aussie's have a much better singer

just like their team so why be different here

 

[Momo]

[sali]

Don't say this. PCB may decide to hire a national anthem coach.

 

[abcanada]

GROIN injury

Oh boy......... Aamir is one thing I wanted to see!! I hope Sami/Umar can provide some excitment as well.

 

[hamzamunir]

Lmao

I was drinking some orange juice and as soon as that Mahmoud guy started singing our national anthem...i laughed so hard that alittle OJ came out of my nose.

 

[cricfan967]

5 mins guys!

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Bowling attack looks good today.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Shane Warn, Tony Greig and Mark Nicholas teaching Pakistanis the strategies for successful slip catching

 

[amar1212]

stay and watch Sami, Gul, Kaneria and Asif decimate the australian batting Insha Allah

[Astro]

that singer just completely demolished my hope for pak winning this test match now

 

[sada90]

so who won the toss?
watching ufc , cricket and chatting at same time.. )

 

[Momo]

We used to shut off TV in Pakistan if it was still on when anthem came on. It meant end of PTV transmission for the day

And before the national anthem there was a program called 'Farmaan-e-elaahi'. One of my cousins used to shout at the end of Farman-e-elahi: "Yaar jaldi se band karo kaheen taraana na shuru ho jaaye."
:naved

 

[12thMan]

Players giving the pink caps to McGrath as they walk out. The green cpas or white floppys go on

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Not in my household!

Your household also watched that bollywood movie
