Wow. Lots of green on the wicket. Asif could be deadly if we bowl first.

give him a few rizlas and a paradise for batting.

Good to see Lawson!

 

[Lethal]

Toss in a couple of minutes.

[namak]

The umpires have gone back into their rooms. The heavy roller is out on the pitch and the mopping up operations are on, we might have some play soon.

The heavy roller will neutralize a lot of the advantage provided by the grass. The winner of the toss should bat first.

Awesome avatar pic. CB4 owns!

too bad he'll be gone in 6 months

 

[12thMan]

Lawson says today is a bowling day
Taylor says - Lawson was always a bat first captain.
Then I forgot what he said

Then adds Ponting is a bat first captain but today he will be hoping he loses the toss. Pakistan will probably bowl first

Ian Chappel - Aamer will be good here. Sami too. Pakistan batting is fragile

small covers going on

 

[Lethal]

so who will be opener bowlers? sami and asif or gul and asif?

and

 

[Astro]

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Ponting waiting for Moyo to come in the middle for the toss

Moyo to hesitant to come out to do the toss for fear if he loses it we are getting to get thrashed.

 

[On_the_up]

Well this is exciting

lol!

 

[Oxy]

Who is the joker on here that said the toss had taken place about an hour ago?

 

[Astro]

moyo was busy praying to win the toss

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Moyo didnt bother turning up for the toss - Ponting stood waiting with his team sheet!

Perhaps he prefers the rain to take over and save him!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Who is the joker on here that said the toss had taken place about an hour ago?

LOL! Bassim sahab lekin gulti thi i suppose.

 

[bantu]

Moyo was in the loo after seeing the pitch.........

 

[Inswinger]

Okay guys Australia have won the Toss and chose to BAT
Show sports live
Its drizzling so match delayed

 

[Astro]

LOL! Bassim sahab lekin gulti thi i suppose.

looks like Bassim confused todays match with the highlights of 4 days ago..

 

[AZ]

it was a genuine mistake from Bassim, the stream I was also watching said Australia chose to bat

 

[don1990]

moyo was busy praying to win the toss

 

[Dr_Bassim]

lol i should take blame. Perhaps i should Sue Show sports for showing wrong information

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

Moyo didnt bother turning up for the toss - Ponting stood waiting with his team sheet!

HA HA go on

 

[eViLrAcEr]

looks like 2nd test is going to be drawn in 4 days after all

 

[Big Mac]

Don't want the chai to get cold so finish it before going out.

If another captain did the same thing it would be mind games though

 

[Astro]

everytime they put on these pak vs aussie highlights of the first test, it pisses me off, PLEASE atleast broadcast the pitch conditions!

"Mohammad Sami is a fantastic bowler" - Mark Butcher!

 

[Astro]

"Mohammad Sami is a fantastic bowler" - Mark Butcher!

i believe he meant asif

 

[luvthegame]

Ponting still in the middle talking to the commentators...Toss delayed I guess...

 

[Dr_Bassim]

"Mohammad Sami is a fantastic bowler" - Mark Butcher!

i wonder if Mark Butcher ever got out to Mohammad Sami ? perhaps once or twice

 

[Oxy]

Shane Warne looking very trim. Good bantr from Ponting.

 

[cricwiz]

Good strategy by Aus to leave so much grass on the track. We will be reluctant to bat first now...keeps Aus away from facing Kaneria in the 4th inning

On the otherhand, it may backfire for Aussies if thats the strategy...

Asif can be a copy of Mcgrath on surfaces like this. He can be as threatening as he was in Karachi Test. And i seriously hope he dpes the same again today...

 

[saj001]

i believe he meant asif

He said we all know about Asif.

 

[germanboy]

Salam,

very important now to win the toss and bowling first not because we will use the pitch good because if we bat our batsmen will get out under very cheap score

 

[Afridi_Fan]

"Mohammad Sami is a fantastic bowler" - Mark Butcher!

Mark Butcher is still a fantastic batsman. Muhammed Sami.

Hisaab baraber?

 

[TaZ]

Mark Nicholas is so annoying.. hes so far up the aussie ar$es, he might as well take up residency up there !

 

[*sallu*]

Latest news please

[amar1212]

[iZeeshan]

Hmmm, so what's the update on the game.

The umpires/commentators not saying anything!

I think drizzle is getting worse

 

[Lethal]

"Mohammad Sami is a fantastic bowler" - Mark Butcher!

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

 

[luvthegame]

Ponting praising Hauritz..wait till you face DK ricky....dont get too cocky...we almost had you in MCG..

 

[Hash]

Hmmm, so what's the update on the game.

The umpires/commentators not saying anything!

I think drizzle is getting worse

why? because it's windy in New Jersey?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hauritz busy giving autographs

What an awful way of getting out by Kami in the last test - Just saw it now he basically threw it away!
