Australia v Pakistan | 2nd Test - Day 1 | SCG | 3/01/10

[insaaniyat]

from cricinfo:
That was howler from the umpire on the field. Asoka de Silva is living proof of the necessity of the referral system.

 

[Chuffed]

One of these will open the floodgates, the rest are suspect against spin.

 

[cricfan967]

Bring Darrel Hair back! )

 

[saj001]

No one noticed 7 ball over...

 

[saj001]

4 to hussey

egded

 

[germanboy]

11 runs partnership

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gone through for 4

Should've been stopped

 

[choclate]

Sami would be off next over, remember he is express bowler and not a work horse like Asif, maybe bring Asif from that end

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Four to Hussey.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

No one noticed 7 ball over...

Cricinfo did ...
They called it 10.7 ball

 

[cricfan967]

. 3 . . . . .

7 ball over ??? !!! What is this?

 

[Seen Sheen]

'Ashoker' from nowhere raises his finger..!)

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good over though by Sami

 

[saj001]

good over.

 

[Oxy]

THeres an assurance of seeing Waqar in a Pak training top - instaed of Inti munching away snacks!

 

[shahidrazzaq]

I can see Sami's swing even in "gandi" quality.

 

[sohaibsyed]

Gul is more hungry for some chapli kababs..

LOL

 

[tauseefm]

Gul is standing at point, lets see when is kanaria's turn to stand at point

 

[germanboy]

bring back Asif

 

[Lethal]

Come on Gul pitch it up.

 

[Chuffed]

He needs to bowl short at the start of the over and follow up with full swinging deliveries.

 

[iZeeshan]

Just ONE more and we're in complete control.

 

[Inswinger]

THeres an assurance of seeing Waqar in a Pak training top - instaed of Inti munching away snacks!

I hear you.

 

[saj001]

Hussey in double figures

 

[eViLrAcEr]

what is happening?! Is this real?!!?! I can't believe my eyes!!! LOL MashAllah

 

[insaaniyat]

I hope these two go soon in the next few overs

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Oxy how bout changing your signature to Pakistan is gonna Batter Australia ???

 

[Umta]

Yusuf shud bring in Kaneria

 

[Astro]

we cant let aussies get a good partnership even with 3 down, gotta get 1 more wicket in the next 10-15 overs

 

[Lethal]

Better from Gul.

 

[Umta]

After Gul

 

[Zechariah]

Good delivery by Gul

 

[Desi]

Now it's time for all the Sami haters to switch again...

 

[insaaniyat]

If get these two, we would be in very good shape

 

[Cheguvera]

That was howler from the umpire on the field. Asoka de Silva is living proof of the necessity of the referral system.

Asoka is the epitome of incompetence...even I called it not out as soon as I saw it live...

I don't know how he got on the elite panel...

 

[saj001]

sami hits hussey

 

[Momo]

Commentators out of their minds - making silly mistakes.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Hussey rolled over and got hit by the ball.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nailed Hiussey there

 

[Inswinger]

That's one way to get 'em out!

 

[ali110]

Cheetah is lucky, he is not playing in this match. Now I am waiting for Butterfinger, Fart and grand dady Misbah to bat on this pitch. This is just awesome stuff. Thank you so much, pitch curator.I just hope this pitch will behave the same way for next couple of days. You know when sami is throwing thunderbolts, there is something wrong in the pitch.

 

[Gollum]

Asoka is the epitome of incompetence...even I called it not out as soon as I saw it live...

I don't know how he got on the elite panel...

On the bright side, they used up 1 appeal

 

[LG]

Hmm...coming from Sami hater that's quite rich...

Sami-hater?? I hate no one, and have supported EVERYONE playing for Pakistan and hoped they perform well when they play. You're the one who pick and choose.

Yes, I was against Sami's selection in the team, because a bowling average of over 50, his performances in his last few outings for Pakistan, his performance in the ICL, nothing suggested what is happening today. I suppose you, the all-knowing, saw this coming.

 

[Astro]

kaneria whips a leg spin to husseys face to let him know whats up in store soon

 

[insaaniyat]

Commentators out of their minds - making silly mistakes.

they are nervous

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Asoka is the epitome of incompetence...even I called it not out as soon as I saw it live...

Bribed the Indian Cricket Council ....

 

[pak4life]

How long is this session? when's tea?

 

[Inswinger]

Nice to see Gul attempting the yorkers again.

 

[germanboy]

wiicket time

 

[Oxy]

Oxy how bout changing your signature to Pakistan is gonna Batter Australia ???

Lets see Pak bat twice....signature isnt going anywhere!

 

[Momo]

they are nervous

Yes not often do Aussies find themselves in a mess.

 

[Cheguvera]

Looks like Tony Greig survived the jump from the top of the Victor Trumper stand...still whinging though...

 

[germanboy]

How long is this session? when's tea?

05:20am GMT

about 1h and 13min.

 

[Lethal]

Successful appeal. They still have 2 remaining.

 

[Gollum]

This is almost a positive comment...there is hope for you yet

 

[Inswinger]

How long is this session? when's tea?

In about an hour and 14 minutes.

 

[Astro]

sami back on!

 

[Oxy]

On the bright side, they used up 1 appeal

Successfully - so it doesnt get used up

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Don't worry LG. He will be hated again , as soon as he reaches the sub-continent and starts leaking runs ... its a habit it is

 

[Gollum]

Successful appeal. They still have 2 remaining.

Heh...I think it is used up successful or not...

 

[tauseefm]

I would give Sami some rest and bring Asif back.

 

[Gollum]

Successfully - so it doesnt get used up

Alright

 

[Chuffed]

Dangerous time this, for Pakistan. We must take one of these wickets to ensure a low innings score.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

shoaib malik, sportsman of the year ?!

 

[Inswinger]

Heh...I think it is used up successful or not...

No. The commentators were saying something about it not being used up if you get it right.

 

[iZeeshan]

Sami is quite tired. Bring back Asif from that end

 

[Big Mac]

Sami's average under 50 now \o/

 

[kingusama92]

Sami... wow.

He's been special today.. but they're finally taking the catches.

 

[insaaniyat]

Dangerous time this, for Pakistan. We must take one of these wickets to ensure a low innings score.

Yes, we need these two wickets soon

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Sami... wow.

He's been special today.. but they're finally taking the catches.

No, Umar dropped one today.

 

[germanboy]

Kaneria time or maybe Asif again

 

[Momo]

Heh...I think it is used up successful or not...

No it doesn't.

 

[Gollum]

Sami is still maintaining good pace, but he should rest now. Kaneria for a few overs may not be a bad idea.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Come on Sami

Noball

 

[Umta]

Aussies been very lucky this morning. One drop catch and 2 close decisions

 

[insaaniyat]

No, Umar dropped one today.

Omar got saved. I was so mad when he dropped that catch. Ultimately no damage done though

 

[Digital]

Wicket time

 

[Astro]

hope sami doesnt do as many no-balls as he was doing in the qaudi trophy final, cause it was quite a lot

 

[germanboy]

Drinks

 

[saj001]

3/25 drinks
