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

[abcanada]

I heard commentator saying pitch easing up now That means Sami would be out of picture, one bowler short

Don't worry.............Kaneria will fill in for him. I am sure he is dying to make an impression similar to Sami.

 

[ShehryarK]

Calm down yaar, we are going win by an inning or by 10 wickets (inshallah)

Hope so Insha Allah But the batting conditions tomorrow ie when Aussies bat the second time around would be the easiest of the match so far, so we can take nothing for granted. Teams have come back after poor first innings - heck, Pak itself has done it, against India at Calcutta and Karachi!

 

[Sledger]

+145/4

who is Mick?? i am asking about Mick's choice in Classic KFC catches!

Mike Slater.

 

[tauseefm]

I heard commentator saying pitch easing up now That means Sami would be out of picture, one bowler short

Reverse swing hay na

 

[ZAK]

That's worrying.

Indeed.

 

[saj001]

Four to umar , moves onto 49

 

[tauseefm]

he meant to play this shot. So good shot

 

[AZ]

very short, very wide, 4 over slips

 

[Chuffed]

I heard commentator saying pitch easing up now That means Sami would be out of picture, one bowler short

Good point, Sami did benefit from bowler-friendly conditions.

Umar living dangerously.

 

[Vegitto1]

he will be out soon

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

+150/4

Muwahhh to saj001

 

[Momo]

I think it's okay. He has hit another four. Everytime he doesn't hit a boundary in six balls, it's worrying.

 

[insaaniyat]

he meant to play this shot. So good shot

did he really?

 

[saj001]

Review

 

[AZ]

BOOOMING swing and a miss from Umar

 

[tauseefm]

its close

 

[Big Mac]

this is close

 

[Sledger]

Akmal out I think.

 

[tauseefm]

Umar out

 

[Momo]

Review

 

[Big Mac]

Think that could be out

 

[saj001]

Gone umar out

 

[insaaniyat]

i hope they lose

 

[Sledger]

Yep, out.

 

[Vegitto1]

out!

 

[abcanada]

Oh boy................. i hope Umar doesn't get robbed off another 50 here.

 

[Big Mac]

Yeah, Umar gone

 

[Chuffed]

Umar out!

 

[karachiite]

And Akmal's a goner.

 

[Big Mac]

Oh boy................. i hope Umar doesn't get robbed off another 50 here.

How is it robbed? He missed a straight one

 

[AZ]

 

[insaaniyat]

out

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

+150/5

we must get another 150 runs!

 

[karachiite]

Can't fault him too much about that dismissal.

 

[Vegitto1]

get to 327 please!

 

[AZ]

well-reviewed by the Aussies

 

[choclate]

ok this was going to hit the bails?, remember yesterday the one the HawkEye said was going over the top when it was much fuller, come on

 

[Chuffed]

How is it robbed? He missed a straight one

Driving at a straight one, angled bat!

 

[insaaniyat]

he can't seem to turn his 40's to 100's

 

[Momo]

Damn. The Hawkeye blackbox magic works again.

 

[ShehryarK]

Oh nooo

 

[iZeeshan]

Everyone getting starts, but not a single one going on!

 

[itduzz]

Umar is another afridi wanna be.....gr8 players make big 100s not quick fire 40s & 50s

 

[karachiite]

Kamran usually does well against the 2nd new-ball. Lets hope we can get another 50 runs before we fold.

 

[saj001]

First balll 4

 

[Big Mac]

Up to Senior to show Junior how it's done

 

[UP]

Dismissed on 49.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

dont worry lads that was another 40 runs partnership! thats what is needed.

another 40 runs partnership and we are there with lead of 200 and going towards 300 inshaAllah.

 

[Ryankhan]

thats so unlucky. was looking very good. thats very unlucky. pooor umer. looked in a 100 mood today. well now that he's gone i hope our silent killer KAMRAN AKMAL wakes up and plays a handfull innings. He has been quite for last 2 innings but got out cheaply and also gave away his wicket in last innings so he should try to focus and concentrate and score atleast a 30-40 to get going and mashallah a great short to start with. need another 100 runs to make the lead 250.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Why didn't they show hawk eye hitting the stumps from behind.

 

[AZ]

Umar is another afridi wanna be.....gr8 players make big 100s not quick fire 40s & 50s

 

[iafzal]

why did they not show the height this time? I know it looked low but why?

 

[Big Mac]

ok this was going to hit the bails?, remember yesterday the one the HawkEye said was going over the top when it was much fuller, come on

This was pretty plumb tbh

 

[AZ]

shotttt....

 

[karachiite]

Misbah needs to remain solid here.

 

[ShehryarK]

ok this was going to hit the bails?, remember yesterday the one the HawkEye said was going over the top when it was much fuller, come on

Yes there's a very good reason for that - the pitch and the bounce and the carry now in the third session today is very different to what it was yesterday!!

Please, let's not imagine bias or conspiracy theories where none exist.

 

[tauseefm]

he can't seem to turn his 40's to 100's

Don't worry he will. For last few overs he went into defensive mode and got out. He should never change his style.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

+155/5

 

[Chuffed]

How long left till the end?

 

[AZ]

ah, good one by Bolly, Misbah beaten all ends up

 

[insaaniyat]

pakistan lose wicket Afzal pops up

 

[karachiite]

Still only 1 batsman falling to an unplayable delivery. Other than that its all self-created demise.

 

[abcanada]

Need Misbad and Kamran Akmal to take their scores to 40 as well!!

 

[saj001]

Another 4 to kamran

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

+159/5

 

[karachiite]

Akmal guides one to the 3rd man boundary. Valuable runs.

 

[adzzy786]

Why are Pakistans Reviews Normally Unsucsessful and Australias are Sucsessful. Notice When Australia Refer how long it takes for them to show the Hawk eye... I think its tweaked

 

[itduzz]

come on another 100 runs needed....tomorrow is a sunny day good for batting....

 

[Momo]

Up to Senior to show Junior how it's done

I'd be satisfied if the Sr. can do what the Jr. did.

 

[iafzal]

pakistan lose wicket Afzal pops up

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

pakistan lose wicket Afzal pops up

you got it right, is he an indian?

 

[slix10]

How long left till the end?

17 overs.

 

[Big Mac]

I'd be satisfied if the Sr. can do what the Jr. did.

Hit a couple of boundaries and then panic? I hope he can do better

 

[AZ]

Siddle darr gaya, fails to deliver the ball

 

[UP]

Brother like brother 2 fours already.

 

[abcanada]

+155/5

250 lead seems hard now................ perhaps something like 210-230 is a little more realistic.

 

[Chuffed]

17 overs.

Thanks. Can we last that long?

 

[saj001]

come on another 100 runs needed....tomorrow is a sunny day good for batting....

there is enough in the pitch for Asif and kaneria

 

[ShehryarK]

Hit a couple of boundaries and then panic? I hope he can do better

LOL!

That was harsh.

But funny.

 

[karachiite]

This 2nd new ball is jagging around still. Should be encouraging for Asif.
