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

[Oxy]

That shot would have disgraced a T20 match!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Last ten overs 13 runs.

 

[bantu]

Farhat has a brain fart next ball................ lucky escape

 

[insaaniyat]

wow that was a close call

 

[luvthegame]

whats up with watoo...

 

[On_the_up]

another edgy single by IF

 

[coy0607]

they have slowed down too much.......just 12 in the last 10 overs......play at around 3 an over, so you dont have to play shots like that

 

[KA$H]

Would have been out if it hit

Unprofessionalism!

Neopotism (if he'd got out)

 

[insaaniyat]

Farhat has a rain fart next ball................ lucky escape

very lucky

 

[abcanada]

Farhat dieing to go back to pavilion

 

[saeed-sohail]

Farhat needs to get through this period.

 

[sali]

thats called trying hard to throw the wkt

 

[UP]

Lost of concentration.

 

[slix10]

)

What the hell is Farhat doing, dreaming on the pitch.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

One more to farhat

 

[saj001]

farhat on 42*


will he get his 50?

 

[On_the_up]

whats up with watoo...

He is being brought back down to earth.

 

[Cheguvera]

watoo is getting pissed....

I don't understand why our meek Pakistani batsmen don't dish it right back to these aussies when they are mouthing off...

At least tell 'em to go F themselves...

 

[KA$H]

lol at them blaming Haddin

we'r toying with them

 

[Afridi_Fan]

farhat's intentions don't look good to me

 

[On_the_up]

Bollinger the most likely to take a wkt I feel

 

[pak4life]

Butt feet are going no where at the moment

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Something is going to give soon...........

 

[murphyslaw79]

Would have been out if it hit

Unprofessionalism!

unbelievable, if he had got out there, i don't think he would have played for Pakistan again, lazy and unprofessional.

First the shot was stupid, then haddin did not even rush to throw the ball in, but Farhat was even slower, and saw the ball all the way back past the stumps.

gets the blood boiling!!!!

 

[saj001]

Single to butt

 

[Cheguvera]

farhat on 42*


will he get his 50?

It would be a typical Farhat 50, a couple of chance and a couple of edges not carrying...

 

[KA$H]

I'll say it now - if they get 1 wkt - 3 or 4 will fall

 

[On_the_up]

IF 42
Butt 24

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Single to

 

[On_the_up]

I'll say it now - if they get 1 wkt - 3 or 4 will fall

In Sri Lankan series it was 9 or 10, so at least there is some improvement.

 

[*sallu*]

they are frustrating themselves

mind you, aussies aren't giving many bad balls

 

[KA$H]

i tell you Farhat must really be irritating teh aussies right now

they'll feel its like a nightwatchman who keeps hanging around

 

[Afridi_Fan]

can someone tell Farhat, this is not ICL and he is not facing cousin of Ishant Sharma?

 

[bantu]

73-0 steady there............ these guys should keep it together and keep going

 

[saeed-sohail]

Aussies are bowling well.

 

[Cheguvera]

unbelievable, if he had got out there, i don't think he would have played for Pakistan again.

Highly naive there...as long as he has susar abu in the selection panel or even out of it...he can murder the whole Pakistan team and would still play..

 

[murphyslaw79]

I don't understand why our meek Pakistani batsmen don't dish it right back to these aussies when they are mouthing off...

At least tell 'em to go F themselves...

As a batsman, its best to keep quiet, just concentrate on your batting.

however, we don't dish it out enough when we are bowling. This stems from the domestic struture, where its a very "bhai" and "respect" culture, which is detremental to the pakistani game i believe.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

In Sri Lankan series it was 9 or 10, so at least there is some improvement.

[Chuffed]

Only positive is that IF is playing late, so he won't be prone to the LBW shout. The downside is that he's likely to edge it anytime.

 

[ShehryarK]

I'll say it now - if they get 1 wkt - 3 or 4 will fall

True. That was the case during Australia's innings too - that's the kind of surface this is, you're never really in. Hence, important to make the most of these chances we are getting.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

siddle comes on.

 

[saj001]

Siddle on

 

[insaaniyat]

73-0 steady there............ these guys should keep it together and keep going

i hope so

 

[On_the_up]

My sky digibox is about to go into standby.

Must be watching Butt

 

[coy0607]

butt has put too much pressure on........hes doing absolutely nothing

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Siddle comes on.

[On_the_up]

[insaaniyat]

Butt needs t o open up a bit. We need to keep the scoreboard ticking

 

[KA$H]

farhat's intentions don't look good to me

look he's hanging around for as long as is farhatly possible

you gotta take the rough with the smooth

[luvthegame]

Butt is doing fine. This is not a T20 match...

 

[KA$H]

butt doing a farhat

 

[Chuffed]

Butt's technique is atrocious, why everyone wanted him over IF baffles me completely.

 

[saj001]

Now butt went for it

calm down boys

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Big slog and miss.

 

[luvthegame]

Butt slashes...

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

no ifs NO butts

 

[Vegitto1]

no foot movement!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now Butt pulls off a Farhat.

 

[ShehryarK]

Another slog!! This one from Butt.

Guys - just calm down, and look for singles.

 

[On_the_up]

Butt to score his 2nd consecutive 100 at Sydney?

 

[bantu]

now salman has a go at that ball............ wild shot.............. no need for that

 

[UP]

Hit and miss.

 

[ZAK]

wth is going on, calm down .

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Maiden over.

 

[luvthegame]

dont lose a wicket...just take singles...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Last 10 over, 6 runs.

 

[Lethal]

These two should try to rotate the strike more often.

They have done a good job so far.

Butt isn't looking to do anything.

 

[saj001]

no ifs NO butts

Only Jatt only jattt

abrar isthlye

 

[insaaniyat]

-54

let's us hope our countdown becomes count up leads growing no wicket loss

 

[KA$H]

on a serious note - its a mental weakness that our openrs have shown in teh last couple of overs

or muscle memory

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Trail by 54

 

[Astro]

very boring.........

 

[Oxy]

My sky digibox is about to go into standby.

Must be watching Butt

You can disable that function

 

[cricfan967]

This is becoming very boring to watch ..

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

15 overs 23 runs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

very boring.........

This is test cricket not KFC Big Bash.

 

[On_the_up]

34 scoring shots in the inns so far

 

[iZeeshan]

Really bad RR. They should try and move around a bit more
