Australia v Pakistan | 2nd Test - Day 3 | SCG | 5/01/10

[*sallu*]

4 hours to go

Probably the deciding day IMO
We must get the Aussies before 300

 

[Oxy]

40 mins to go.

Heres the latest from the SCG

 

[hussain_0216]

This is the MOST important day.

If we get the Aussies for 300 or below then we only have 100 or so to get.

If they get e'g 400-450 then we are batting last & chasing 200-250 which I think will be too much for us.


Unfortunately today will be as good as batting conditions as you will find on this pitch.

Its our bowlers versus there batsmen for the game.

 

[Sohaib-789]

where do u get them pictures from? is there some website?
and 40 minutes to goo

 

[Khabri420]

Play will start 30 minutes early again today to try and catch up for the shortened Day 1

There is Sydney Cricket Ground website where Oxy got the picture from. I am not sure about the website but if you google it and look at bottom left of the menu bar you will find something saying pictures or webcam. Click on it and you will be there

I hope it helps

 

[Cover Drive]

Since I always hear commentators that first session is a bit difficult to play on due to the conditions so I would say that Pakistan should declare before stepping onto the field

lets hope for a 40 run partnership between asif and kaneria

 

[Saj]

Whilst Pakistan are in control of this match, a part of me is still very nervous and worried as to what may happen.

I've still got a feeling that we may make a mess of this great opportunity.

 

[saj001]

History will be made today , i want to see a golden duck for punter

 

[ZAK]

your missile thrower Gul is playing, shouldn't he pick up " key" wickets?

[tauseefm]

Hahah he isn't the only one who throws missile. btw he would be the difference today

 

[cricfan967]

I hope we can draw the next match
That would be the best!
I have a REALLY good feeling about EASILY winning the ODI series.
I mean yousuf, umar, aamer, younus, afridi, ajmal, kamran ? Pure awesome.
1-1 Test Series
3-2 ODI series (Pakistan)
1-0 T20 Series (Pakistan)

Tests are always the hardest for us

 

[octavian]

Hahah he isn't the only one who throws missile. btw he would be the difference today

Honestly i think he will be pedestrian.

[tauseefm]

By looking at his first inning bowling, Yes. He just needs to bowl with some aggression which he has been lacking so far. I think reverse swing will be the key for Pakistan.

As far as our bowling is concern is going to do the donkey work

chalo chalo shabash sab fatafat team ke liye dua paro!!!

Salam future doctor. Hope you leave PP today with a great memory of Pakistan bowling the Aussies out Inshallah.

 

[Desi]

It's so ironic/sad/hilarious/despressing that we always worry the most when we are in a winning position...yet when we are in a losing position we just expect the team to bounce back in some fashion and don't worry too much.

 

[TaZ]

Come on pak!

 

[future doctor]

yeah i hope so

 

[tauseefm]

btw koi link phanko yaro . im not home so can't really watch it on tv

 

[hussain_0216]

Regular wickets will make us all feel better.

If Pak bat (& not declare overnight) then I would like Asif & Danni to go out and throw there bat around even 20 runs would be a laugh.

We then need early wickets so the Aus batsmen go into there shells and bat conservatively.


My fear is Aus batsmen will be cautions we wont take an early wicket but will still bowl good and aggressive, the openers will build a decent platform for the rest of the aus batsmen to build a decent score, then we will collapse after losing our openers

But thats just my fears, you may be different.


On the bright side, we will wiiiiiiiiiinnnnnn, come on.

welcome to PP, future doctor bro...a special Walaikumsalam to you

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mark Butcher saying it could've been 304 the lead now if Pak hadn't lost those 7 wickets in the last session!

 

[Wazmiester]

We have given Aussies a sniff of chance to get back into this test match by not extending the lead to 300. Pakistan will really have to bowl and field well to put pressure on them otherwise by end of today we might be looking a decent total to chase. Having said that i think Pakistan should go into the field with full confidence and be patient with their bowling. Hopefully Aussies will crack under pressure and we can sneak in a victory for a change.

All the best to the team.

 

[future doctor]

You can't expect anything from them when it comes to batting.. otherwise you will always be disappointed.

[hussain_0216]

Pitch looks flat and good for batting, although there is grass on it which is currently being rolled in by a heavy roller.

If the sun stays out it will really flatten out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The boys are out in the middle

Come on Pakistan
