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

[On_the_up]

Farhat's gonna get out LBW, who's with me?

Caught behind or to some sort of pull shot is more likely

Hasn't got too bad a technique when playing defensively.

 

[cricket_fever]

Luv yah NORTH!!!! Thanx for dropping!!! Abay damad make him pay now!

 

[Oxy]

Siddle is seriously Peed off!!!

 

[sali]

Butt looking good. He is playing with soft hand. Imran too flashy. he should go for quick 30 and leave than hang around poking the ball.

 

[octavian]

Siddle bowling well now. Looks like he can strike any ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

oooohhh

 

[UP]

Siddle bowling well.

 

[Astro]

walking wickets atm

 

[Asad999]

Pakistan did very well in bowling, batting is our weakness. I am not sure about appropriate target for the australian line up but they should bat as long as possible still alot of time left in this match. Match is still wide open and anyone can win, i am not predicting any result yet.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Siddle looks annoyed.

[Oxy]

Tony Grieg is a really bad sport....

 

[On_the_up]

Pretty good partnership by Pak openers standards

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another good one

 

[Oxy]

Too much playing & missing going on

 

[octavian]

Butt beaten 3 times in a row by siddle

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Siddle pitching it up now, looking dangerous!

 

[cricket_fever]

tony greigs commentry is really annoying me.. he cant take it that we bowled beautifully yesterday and trying to justify it because of the pitch etc etc

why not justify it by saying charas power is ruling again?

 

[insaaniyat]

Luv yah NORTH!!!! Thanx for dropping!!! Abay damad make him pay now!

[Ace Base]

Pakistan should keep down the shots at this stage. Give it another 15 overs. Once the pitch eases out and the ball becomes softer, runs will flow.

[murphyslaw79]

When i get a chance to watch, i like doing a ball by ball commentary. sorry if this annoys anyone

Salman facing Siddle

1. Top ball, angled across, Salman played in the line, Haddin collects
2. another good one, seamed back in off the seam, big inside edge.
3. bouncer, nothing ball really, Salman sways out of the ball easily.
4. similar to ball 1, a bit wider, Salman again played within the line, which is good cricket. not chasing like farhat.
5. flicked past silly mid on, 2 runs.
6. full ball, driven to cover, no run.

33/0

 

[saj001]

Bollinger bowls short , look out for pitched up inswinger

[On_the_up]

Bowling short on this pitch is criminal.

 

[Astro]

lets keep the runs coming

 

[dblock]

33 partnership so far, I'll take that.

 

[Oxy]

Another horrible slog & miss by IF

WHY?

 

[On_the_up]

These 2 have definitely not come out to block.

 

[octavian]

Tony Greig really wants a wicket to fall. he just cant wait fo rit

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another wild swing by IF

[sali]

I think Imran wants to expose our batting to new ball.

 

[bantu]

good solid start 35/0

 

[On_the_up]

Greig knows which side his bread is buttered.

 

[ZAK]

2 runs to Farhat.

[KA$H]

these openers arent capable of dictacting terms to the bowlers

u just feel there's a bag of wkts around the corner

 

[Oxy]

Greig knows which side his bread is buttered.

Problem is he has so many sides

 

[On_the_up]

35-0

 

[murphyslaw79]

Bollinger to farhat

1. short ball, outside off, Farhat sways out of the way.
2. outside off, farhat has a go, too wide to have a go. through to Haddin
3. outside off, farhat plays it late off the front foot and gets too between gully and point. easy 2
4. outside off, short of a good length, exagerated leave from farhat
5. short, farhat punches to cover point, no run.
6. pitched up, farhat defends.

35/0

[saj001]

Beats him again

 

[UP]

Fine spell by Siddle.

 

[cricket_fever]

If waqar younis was commentating again, he would gave called butt and farhat "salman and imran KHAN"

 

[saadibaba]

Pakistan very lucky not have lost a wicket so far

 

[On_the_up]

Due to limited footwork from these openers, any movement is too much on this pitch to even get the edge and they are playing and missing rather than getting the edge.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

a highlites package of nothing happening?
