[Khabri420]

Chacha Bush phir ro raha hai

 

[Momo]

Ponting not impressed. High probability of his starting whining.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good day for us.

 

[saqlain]

Fantastic day for Pakistan. Probably one of the best in recent memory.

 

[Usman Chadda]

What a day it has been

 

[luvthegame]

Ponting complains, Billy points straight to the shadows.

 

[haseebbabar]

a nice day should have played lotto tonight

 

[kamranO]

Farhat good tactics

 

[Momo]

LOL! Shakal hi aisi hai... perpetual frown & a scowl!

Yes, I feared that was the case.

 

[ShehryarK]

Pak end the day at 14/0 - just 113 behind.

What a brilliant day's play for Pakistan - haven't had a first day this good for many years, not even against Bangladesh.



Even the catching was good, bar Umar Akmal's usual drop!

 

[kamranO]

so 2010 3rd Jan Good Day for Pakistan Cricket

 

[ZAK]

guyz which opening pair is better??

Aisf/aamer
or
Asif /Sami

One good match for Sami and you have started talking about the better opening pair. Dont get me wrong, i am absolutely delighted that Sami performed admirably after being out of the game for a long while but dont you think that this performance was expected from him as he had to make an immediate impact in order to get an extended run in this team.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Trail by 113 with 10 1st innings wickets in hand.

 

[Momo]

so 2010 3rd Jan Good Day for Pakistan Cricket

Yes. It will be remembered as the Mohammad Sami Day.

 

[abcanada]

Farhat good tactics

Guess Bollywood is the altermate career for him..

 

[kingusama92]

Well done by the openers.

Looked good out there. Teaching the Aussie batsmen how to bat on a greentop with poor light. )

 

[kamranO]

So Aamer Injury came in as blessing in disguise

 

[insaaniyat]

Pak end the day at 14/0 - just 113 behind.

What a brilliant day's play for Pakistan - haven't had a first day this good for many years, not even against Bangladesh.



Even the catching was good, bar Umar Akmal's usual drop!

Yeah nice to see a day like after a long time. Very good day for us

 

[luvthegame]

Alhumdolilah...Pak back with a bang to show the world Pak is a top tier team.

If the aussies cannot survive asif, sami, aamer and GUL, none can.

Pak needs to take a big lead..Score atleast 300-350 and then go for the kill Inshallah.

 

[pak4life]

Brilliant day but job not done yet tomorrow is a big big day weather should be good cant let the aussies come back in the match

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

Yes. It will be remembered as the Mohammad Sami Day.

its Sir Malcolm Mohammad Sami, please.

 

[ali_ed2006]

So Aamer Injury came in as blessing in disguise

if aamer was playing instead of gul Australia might not even have scored 100!

 

[kamranO]

And as expected, the bails come off and it's Stumps on Day 1
Severe blow on the knuckles as the Pakistani physio runs onto the field to give him some magic spray. The umpires in the background, are having a chat regarding the light. Ponting has his eyes glued on the umpires.

 

[Random Aussie]

Well almost goes without saying that was a pretty bad day for us.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

great day for us guys. Omar Malik , insaaniyat , Afridi Fan and Oxy - see you guys tomorrow

we are all over the aussies!!! Hell yeah!!!

 

[ZAK]

So Aamer Injury came in as blessing in disguise

How can you say that? do you have proof the he would have done worse than Sami.

 

[insaaniyat]

great day for us guys. Omar Malik , insaaniyat , Afridi Fan and Oxy - see you guys tomorrow

we are all over the aussies!!! Hell yeah!!!

yeah. Can't wait for tomorrow. Few centuries on the way Good night. It must be late there

one good innings does not make us world beaters history tells us anything can happen when pak bat!

 

[kamranO]

if aamer was playing instead of gul Australia might not even have scored 100!

and how can you say that may be australia can get more then 200 who knows after all cricket is game of uncertainties. but seeing this card it explain Asif 6 Sami 3 and Gul 1

 

[Astro]

The physio is out and having a look at Farhat's fingers. In the meantime the umpires have a discussion and they offer the light to batsmen, they accept it. The players walk off for bad light. That might be stumps but it is not official yet, stay tuned.

 

[farooq_pzb]

ricky didn't drop catches like UA does.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Great start to the year, great captaincy by Yousef with great bowling from Sami/Asif and excellent fielding all around!

[ZAK]

I hope the batters do well tomorrow.

 

[insaaniyat]

So anyone how do we watch t20 bash South Australia vs Queensland

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

yeah. Can't wait for tomorrow. Few centuries on the way Good night. It must be late there

[cricpk]

well done pakistan mashallah ....what a day to remember!!!

 

[Astro]

the match is still on.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

So anyone how do we watch t20 bash South Australia vs Queensland

Star Cricket

 

[Paradox]

I'm sure it's not stumps yet. If the sun comes out for a few minutes, we could have a couple more overs.

 

[Dare2Dream]

So anyone how do we watch t20 bash South Australia vs Queensland

Check out the bash thread, someone suggested using free streaming on bet365, never tried it myself though.

 

[Momo]

its Sir Malcolm Mohammad Sami, please.

I stand corrected, sir. My apologies to you and Sir Malcolm MS.

 

[insaaniyat]

Star Cricket

i don't have it

 

[insaaniyat]

Check out the bash thread, someone suggested using free streaming on bet365, never tried it myself though.

thanks

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

i don't have it

neither do i, you will have to find some streaming site.

 

[kamranO]

So M.Sami is Advise Good BY Waqar Younus so he need guidance thats all

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

is it stumps or not???

 

[hur rizvi]

So Aamer Injury came in as blessing in disguise

No i think if Aamer would have been there Aussies should have got out under 100

 

[Paradox]

is it stumps or not???

I think it is now. Other channels broadcasting something else now, I don't think they'll start broadcasting the match again all of a sudden.

 

[kamranO]

Asif who turned out to be the Destructor-in-Chief

And it's official now, it's Stumps on Day 1.

 

[iafzal]

one of the best day of cricket for Pakistan in Aus.

Hell it is the best day

 

[luvthegame]

Check this out:

http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine...=runs;template=results;type=team;view=innings

every time aussies score below 150 they end up losing the match.

If our batsman can put up a big total, we can win Inshallah.

 

[hur rizvi]

Play starts half an hour early tomorrow
