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

:)) at the respect given to Watson by our tailenders. Well done boys. Boys played well. :inzi
 
Johnson's probably gonna finish this off but we've done well to get the lead this far.
 
This guy at cricinfo is smoking some serious stuff

Kirstin: "Although they are still over 150 ahead here, Pakistan have missed a real trick with some very undisciplined batting. They have had the perfect opportunity to bat until stumps tomorrow, or even into the first session of day 4, which would have given them a lead of anywhere excess of 350, and put the pressure on the Aussies to fight off an innings defeat. Instead, they end up with a lead of just over 200, but Australia will have plenty more time to fight back, you cant imagine they will collapse twice."

He is totally wrong. Test matches have changed a lot. We are seeing more results then ever. Results used to be highly unlikely in past because of negative approach of some batsmen.

Yeah that's why we've only one in the last 12 tries...since we are so good at T20 and the tests these days are no different...then we should have been number 1 in tests by now...
 
this partnership - 27 runs, another 23 runs needed to make up some lost ground.

Motivation of the situation- we must get 300 runs lead to win by an innings and get revenge of 15 years battering from Australia.
 
Pakistan might cross 400 now. The way the two are playing. Everything under control.

He's right. A lead of 350 would have been crushing. Even the aussies cannot bat for more than a day and a half. I wouldn't have gone all the way to day 4 but nevertheless a little more disciplined batting from the likes of Misbah and Faisal would have been good.

It's probably an Aussie,

He forgot we don't have a Aussie/Indian batting lineup.

are you crazy? Do you expect Pakistan to make almost 500 runs on this seaming/swinging pitch when they have not crossed 350 only twice in last 14 matches. You can dream but there is something called reality which many have left at home.
 
People keep blaming Pakistan but they should be surprised we scored even these many runs. I mean this is the pitch that we got Australia out for 127! Yes people got starts and didn't get on and they did play silly shots, but nevertheless we are in a majorly commanding position.

So shush.

wow this deliviry cannot hit the stumps...australians are definintly tweaking with hawk eye. the ball hit way above the knee and hawk eye is still showing its touching the bails...thanks to third umpire who didnt give that out....remember yesterday when the ball hit North on knee hawk eye made it on the top of the stumps....

Shame on you aussies for tweaking hawk eye...

For God's sake!

Enough with the demented conspiracy theories already!!

Can't we just accept like grown-ups when our guys get outplayed, or when our guys are the instruments of their own downfall? Why look for a sinister motive every time? Why have this paranoid view of the world where "everyone is out to get us"?!

A lot of these Aussies and English still don't know that Miandad hit a six off the last ball to win a final of a ODI tourney...
