Australia v Pakistan | 2nd Test - Day 2 | SCG | 4/01/10

[IAJ]

Misbah against the new ball...Hmm...Let us see soon

 

[karachiite]

No one has capitalised on the Hauritz no balls yet. Akmal quite keen to set off for runs. Jus needs to be a bit more definitive in his running.

 

[saj001]

drinks

 

[ZAK]

to Jr.

 

[insaaniyat]

They need to play sensibly. Aussies will come out strong in the second inning. We need a big big lead Insha Allah

 

[shahidrazzaq]

SHOT!
:

 

[iafzal]

was that a no ball? replay suggest may not have been

 

[luvthegame]

4...

 

[AZ]

Umar Akmal playing like a bechain roo

 

[Vegitto1]

hmmm...fresh ball wil have something in it.


God, if you have to give Aussies a wicket with a new ball, make sure it is Misbah and please compensate us with A double century stand between the Akmal brothers.

 

[karachiite]

To be fair I think the plan is to get as many runs as they can against the old ball. They might get skittled against the new one.

 

[Khabri420]

Umar Akmal playing like a bechain roo

AZ bhai did you watch Butt-aahs innings?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

4 to umar

2 more overs till new ball

You know new ball travels faster off the bat. :umarakmal

 

[Dare2Dream]

You might as well go on a round the world voyage, he'll still be in single digits by the time you get back.

You better pull back in the port unless your world voyage is in the bathroom tub

 

[iafzal]

A big test coming up in 2 overs...

 

[xtwo]

Following it on cricindia which shows Umar hit the six and then took a single

 

[Momo]

I think he wants you to stick to the tea.

Waisey, he's such a powerful striker of the ball that he should go to town on the Aussies, we're in a great position.

Yeah, I have brought the tea cup right here. I hope no 'wiseguy' asks the batters to be calm and play 'steadily' etc. Get on with it and murder Hauritz I say.

 

[Chuffed]

One of these last 3 need to make century.......

 

[sali]

we need a lead of 250. we can't trust batters to chase anything above 100.

No collaps please with the new ball.

 

[AZ]

AZ bhai did you watch Butt-aahs innings?

nai yaar I just woke up

did he play well?

 

[octavian]

AZ bhai did you watch Butt-aahs innings?

oh yeah he sure did

 

[sehban]

129 runs lead with six wickets still in hand
another hundred runs would be just amazing and Inshallah we will get them and then more

but the new ball will be the real test

have to say approach since lunch has been amazing, totally taking it to the aussies...nice to see that

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Current Partnership: 19 runs, 3.0 overs, RR: 6.33
That's more like it.

 

[Chuffed]

We need to be batting tomorrow, something tells me it'll be the best day for batting. Sunny with dry grass, might spin a bit, but the pacers will be defunct

 

[Khabri420]

nai yaar I just woke up

did he play well?

Butt-aaah Butt-aaah ..my expressions should tell you how he played.

Seriously though, he played really well. Got a beauty from Johnson, deserved a century.

 

[haseebbabar]

lol picking on poor richie again hahahahahhaha this chapal is naughty

 

[insaaniyat]

129 runs lead with six wickets still in hand
another hundred runs would be just amazing and Inshallah we will get them and then more

but the new ball will be the real test

have to say approach since lunch has been amazing, totally taking it to the aussies...nice to see that

anything less the 200 would not be enough

 

[azfar wali]

How many overs leeft today?

 

[AZ]

oh yeah he sure did

I wish I had man

Butt-aaah Butt-aaah ..my expressions should tell you how he played.

Seriously though, he played really well. Got a beauty from Johnson, deserved a century.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Still 24 overs left in the day and last over now coming up with the old ball.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

130/4

 

[karachiite]

Poor over by Johnson. His bowling was all over the place. I think that would be the end of his spell. New ball will probably be taken straight away.

 

[IAJ]

Richie Benaud is a funny commentator, isn't he nearly 80?

 

[Momo]

MJ radar is off.

 

[Vegitto1]

please weather the storm

 

[Chuffed]

shabaaash good running again

Can't fault the running between the wickets. today, we've obtained the score largely because of it.

 

[karachiite]

Hauritz removed from the attack after that phainty.

 

[saj001]

last over before new ball

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hauritz revenge comes to an end.

 

[Vegitto1]

[AZ]

Siddle

 

[octavian]

MJ has bowled the odd beauty among some wayward ones....exactly what we needed

[haseebbabar]

[Momo]

Last over with the old ball.

Good cut shot but straight to gully. He still looks in attacking mood.

 

[UP]

New ball is due after this over.
