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

[Big Mac]

An average of 51 and strike rate of 86 suggests otherwise.

But he bowled 90mph once, he must be great no?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

why? because it's windy in New Jersey?

[On_the_up]

Ricky's baggy green has seen better days.

 

[itduzz]

But he bowled 90mph once, he must be great no?

no

 

[saj001]

Rain is getting firmer.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rain is getting firmer.

Okay i suppose we wont get play before lunch. Might as well get some chores done.

 

[Big Mac]

no

But the pace man, THE PACE

 

[Oxy]

Get used to horror-show highlights of the 1st test....

 

[itduzz]

But the pace man, THE PACE

Dont neglect your patients

 

[Oxy]

But the pace man, THE PACE

Now you capitalise it, hmmm...you have a point

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Dont neglect your patients

You have no fear, if you ever need a doctor

 

[Big Mac]

Now you capitalise it, hmmm...you have a point

Exactly, every Pakistani knows that pace = 'talunt'

 

[Lethal]

But he bowled 90mph once, he must be great no?

No. I couldn't give a toss of how fast he bowled. Would of got rid of him ages ago. Doesn't have a brain. But wasn't helped by Akmal when he was dropping sitters.

If the toss doesnt take place - and the team sheet hasnt been 'exchanged' - then YES

 

[luvthegame]

[WithLoveFromCanada]

If the toss doesnt take place - and the team sheet hasnt been 'exchanged' - then YES

yes and we know that didn't happen cuz Yousuf was in the loo when Ponting was waiting for him on the pitch with his teamsheet.

Thanks for the info though Oxy.

[Gollum]

It sounds like first day washout. Sucks!!!

 

[cricwiz]

Not looking good out there.... seems we r in for a bigger delay...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Rain saving the Aussies here

Now should we bat or bowl if we win the toss? I think bowl now with all the moisture and the pitch looked pretty green.

 

[Gollum]

Inti has already taken care of that.

Disgusting!

but the weather network is showing that light rain will be the order of the day. So we should get something around lunch?

 

[ali_ed2006]

well looks like this may be the best chance we have to draw a match against Australia!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

If the day is washed out then we need to bat first and get 300 tommorrow inshallah
