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

[Gollum]

Breathtaking bowling in the first session....magical stuff!!!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Tea on day one. This has been Pakistan's session.

 

[Astro]

tea, we will be batting today guys.. lets hope we bat through today wicketless

 

[Momo]

Tea. Pakistan team today deserves Mutton karahi, Chicken Balti, Beef seekh kebaab, and an assortment of tikkas of differing varieties.

 

[12thMan]

guys do u think Pakistan will struggle if they bat today??...

We ask this every time Pakistan goes to bat. Nothing special today

 

[kamranO]

See sami Basher what M.Sami Can do hilla ka rakh diya australia ko hahahah

 

[Imy]

Pak batters please dont screw this up

 

[KA$H]

WELL WORTH staying up for

best Pak perforamnce in a session that i have seen in a long long time

 

[Oxy]

20 mins break?

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Aussie commentators, specifically T Grieg, in such dissarray, that they forget about commentating on an a near catch!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

wah Pakistan wah!!

 

[Random Aussie]

20 mins break?

Can we take longer?

 

[kingusama92]

I am not going to get too excited yet because our batsman might have to bat today as well.

 

[KA$H]

Tea. Pakistan team today deserves Mutton karahi, Chicken Balti, Beef seekh kebaab, and an assortment of tikkas of differing varieties.

i deserve that too - next stop kitchen fridge

 

[saj001]

We will have to make sure we only bat once.

 

[Momo]

20 mins break?

I think so. And very important 20 minutes as Aamer Sohail makes an appearance.

 

[sali]

Sad that Gul is unable to take a wkt on this track. With Ameer we could have bowled Aus out for 60.

Question is what our batsman will do here?

 

[pak4life]

With the pitch and our batting I still think the Aussies will manage to get a first innings lead

 

[KA$H]

I am not going to get too excited yet because our batsman might have to bat today as well.

lol but seriously how can you not be too excited? you emotionless machine

 

[sada90]

on other news rashad won against silva by 29-28

 

[Chuffed]

So what comments would've been spurting out had Pakistan been in this position?

"Replace Butt with Ishtiaq Khan, Farhat with Saqib Khan, Faisal with Faisal Khan and so on..."

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ye sab tu key liye hai. Baqi ka kia hu ga?

 

[azfar wali]

MashaAllah great bowling by Asif and Sami but they still need to get Johnson and hauritz out before they get settled

 

[Momo]

i deserve that too - next stop kitchen fridge

True. In fact just back from those quarters with my first instalment.

 

[Oxy]

Frustrating - we are capable of this!

 

[ZAK]

i have missed most of this session due to bad streaming.

 

[Inswinger]

Fair to say this was our session.

 

[tauseefm]

Tea. Pakistan team today deserves Mutton karahi, Chicken Balti, Beef seekh kebaab, and an assortment of tikkas of differing varieties.

The time i hit the "Quote" button, "lunch" got replaced with "Tea" and here's another attempt goes in vain

 

[saj001]

Can we take longer?

Mate , you shouldnt too much worried

for your relief just at pakistan batting order

 

[Momo]

Aamir Sohail : "Bohat maza aaya."

 

[slix10]

Australia's lowest score against Pakistan is 80

 

[12thMan]

I think so. And very important 20 minutes as Aamer Sohail makes an appearance.

He among others probably had stuff ready for wrong decision at toss, Pakistan collapsing or Pakistan not bowling well. Emergency declared.

Best part only 2-3 threads were created during match as the above didn't happen

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

How many overs remaining today?

 

[WAZ&WAQ]

what's teh lowest ever Oz innings score?

80 all out in Karachi

 

[Astro]

samis 3rd wicket was the ball of the innings

 

[Oxy]

80 all out in Karachi

Thats their lowest v us - might be lower in al tests though

 

[Wiji]

Superb start to this match! Need to get into the tail really soon. Hauritz and Johnson may prove to be a really stubborn pair.

Later, the Pakistani batsman will have to bat out of their skins now and get a sizeable lead. They can not afford to throw this wonderful platform away.

 

[iZeeshan]

Unbelievable stuff. We should look to wrap them up in the next hour, and then put a few runs on the board.

 

[Uzi]

Boy am I glad I didn't call it a night during the rain interruption.

 

[Ryankhan]

Thanks to ALLAH for this wonderfull miracle. just woke up and was totally shocked and surprised. great bowling performance by PAKISTAN. to those who were against SAMI, look what he did. destroyed AUS top order! that was great, sad to see GUL not in his momentum as he went for many runs. Asif and SAMI were on fire and i wish we make HIstory here. hope to get AUS out under 80 runs. AUS lowest score against PAK is 80 back in late years, just heard from the commentator. i wish we get them out asap and then i wish PAK batsmen atleast get to 300 or so, so that we could be in demanding position and get over 150-200 runs lead atleast.

[Oxy]

How many overs remaining today?

40 ish - wont get through them though

 

[Momo]

The time i hit the "Quote" button, "lunch" got replaced with "Tea" and here's another attempt goes in vain

No worries mate. In fact it's lunch time here (Tokyo). I am seeing lunch everywhere. On walls. On windows. On doors. Even people's faces are looking to me like chicken parts.

 

[azfar wali]

How many overs remaining today?

about 35 more overs

 

[iHammad]

40 ish - wont get through them though

Get ready to change your sig

 

[Oxy]

i have missed most of this session due to bad streaming.

Dodgy prostate?

 

[Momo]

He was all praise for Sami. About Asif not so enthusiastic. Said shots were not good. Praised Moyo's captaincy though.

 

[abcanada]

wonder how things would have been with Aamer playing in this one instead of GUL.

 

[Oxy]

Get ready to change your sig

This Pak....lets wait & see

 

[cricfan967]

I just saw the covers on! Oh no!

 

[insaaniyat]

We will have to make sure we only bat once.

hope so, But I am worried about our batsman. Insha Allah let's get the next 3 wickets now sooooooooooooon

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Dodgy prostate?

 

[saj001]

how about the catch gul took to dismiss ponting

 

[Gollum]

Tea. Pakistan team today deserves Mutton karahi, Chicken Balti, Beef seekh kebaab, and an assortment of tikkas of differing varieties.

No biryani ?

My mistake its only Tea.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Aamir Sohail : "Bohat maza aaya."

lol ye! sounded almost passionate, then how he loved Asif . . :aamir

 

[adzzy786]

if Aamer would have been fit for this test match and replacing Gul

 

[12thMan]

Why are the big covers going on the pitch

 

[insaaniyat]

Good fielding by us.

 

[Mo.]

42 all out in 1888 seems to be their lowest ever

 

[insaaniyat]

Is it raining again?

 

[kingusama92]

Rain is back... dang.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

40 ish - wont get through them though

about 35 more overs

So inshallah we will be batting today - lets hope the openers/Faisal can hang around to blunt the new ball

 

[Oxy]

Why are the big covers going on the pitch

Big rain?

 

[insaaniyat]

Against Pakistan their lowest total is 80

 

[ZAK]

Dodgy prostate?

Indeed

 

[Oxy]

42 all out in 1888 seems to be their lowest ever

MIG was there

 

[cricfan967]

every time the players are in the pavilion, rain comes in.
I think the rain was always there but the players didn't bother to complain since it is ONLY A DRIZZLE.

 

[WAZ&WAQ]

Thats their lowest v us - might be lower in al tests though

True. That is the lowest score against Pakistan. Not sure if this is their lowest score against any side.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wow......That was a dream session. We will not get a better chance to win a test in aus than this, get aus out for 120 max and then get a lead of 100. Pitch will stay like this for the first 3 days.

THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER RULE OUT PAKISTAN!

 

[insaaniyat]

Rain is back... dang.

Oh i don't like that. Is it raining hard?

 

[tauseefm]

Rain is back... dang.

Actually this could be blessing in disguised cuz we won't have to bat today in bowling friendly conditions.

 

[abcanada]

With the pitch and our batting I still think the Aussies will manage to get a first innings lead

hope not!!!

 

[desidudecool]

what bowling by sami..unbelievable

 

[Easa]

BRILLIANT stuff from Pakistan!

But seriously, guys, I must be dreaming! Sami bowling with control!? Sami getting the ball to move away appreciably?! Sami back at 93mph!?

 

[Momo]

No biryani ?

My mistake its only Tea.

Biryani has been banned because of rumours that some players (and support staff) were 'targetting' the meat and were not interested in rice, on account of high carbohydrate count.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

whats with the Urdu-english hybrid by Sohail ?

 

[tauseefm]

Biryani has been banned because of rumours that some players (and support staff) were 'targetting' the meat and were not interested in rice, on account of high carbohydrate count.

Actually they have solved this problem by moving chair to last. Now everybody is getting their fair share.

 

[luvthegame]

test cricket is the best....

 

[insaaniyat]

Whenever I start watching, rain comes back again. Dang

don't watch

 

[sali]

Predicted path is not considering the speed and bounce. Asif bowl could not have bounced as much as predicted. Shane Watson was out but not given but we end up wasting a referal. We have been undone with two LBWs.
