Australia v Pakistan | 2nd Test - Day 4 | SCG | 6/01/10

[Khabri420]

At least get Sami into the attack

 

[hussain_0216]

On a positive note, we atleast know that the pitch is flat & there is no early movement

 

[cricfan967]

You also promoted Yousuf "from an idiot to a moron" after he kept bowling Kaneria yesterday. The same Kaneria who took 4 wickets remember?

Lol well Danish improved! He was going for run's when i said that.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Wicket is coming.

 

[kingusama92]

Defensive field settings have gotten Yousuf wickets all test. Although this is no time for such field placements.

I think a lot of us are falling into the trap of listening to the commentators and what they have to say. They are making it a huge issue.

 

[saj001]

siddle survives yet again

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

sami should be brought back.

 

[karachiite]

Asif wanted a field change. Yousuf having none of it

 

[iHammad]

getting frustrated

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

295/8

 

[Afridi_Fan]

is just too negative with his field placings

 

[cricfan967]

On a positive note, we atleast know that the pitch is flat & there is no early movement

On a negative note, Pakistan are used to collapsing on the flattest wickets in the world.

 

[saj001]

kaneria on

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Asif is really getting fustrated.

 

[Big Mac]

Here we go, come on Danish. Let's have a sensible field for him please

 

[Khabri420]

Aussies phir ro rahe hain

 

[Sohaib-789]

we really need a aggresive captain

 

[Afridi_Fan]

comes in.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Kaneria on.

 

[syd_pak]

why is the field up against a number 10.....stupid dumb dumb dumb......stupid.....its a number 10......whyyyy.......

 

[cricfan967]

Commentators starting to get annoying .. ripping on the team

 

[iHammad]

coming on now.

 

[90MPH]

These negative tactics will only make the Pak batsmen men more nervous when chasing.

Really disappointing.

This is what i said at the start of the day, and this has now come to fruition.

What pathetic tactics by Yousaf, he is responsible for this.

 

[Big Mac]

Lol well Danish improved! He was going for run's when i said that.

How long do we have to wait before your posts improve?

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

issed: issed: issed:

just wanted to say something abt ur signature....i've supported him even in his worst times...so for sure im his number 1 fan

 

[kingusama92]

Asif wanted a field change. Yousuf having none of it

I am guessing you are either Asif or Yousuf then right? How the heck would you know what was being said.

For all we know they could have been talking about Biryani from last night. Chappell is just moaning now.

 

[karachiite]

Comon, get a silly point in aswell

 

[Desi]

Dani Vs. Hussey Round 2.

 

[cricfan967]

How long do we have to wait before your posts improve?

I really don't know

 

[Veteran]

they show kami drop catches again and again

I think they should keep showing it. Maybe some day our selectors will realize that Kamran should not be in the team as wicketkeeper. Let them show it over and over till someone gets the message.

 

[karachiite]

Richie putting the boot in there.

 

[future doctor]

why we give easy singles ?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now to Siddle.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Beauty.

 

[Momo]

Don't worry guys. Things take time. It will be all right. Inshaallah.

Enjoy the match.

 

[saj001]

kaneria beats him first up

2 more ball's

 

[karachiite]

Danish is the only one who can get siddle in 2 balls.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

i give up

 

[syd_pak]

ball went to deep point?....why is there a deep point??????

 

[karachiite]

Hussey was scared of Siddle facing even one ball off Danish

 

[Desi]

Bring Them In Bring Them In Save The Single

 

[cricfan967]

If you want the Aussies to attack, bring Sami

 

[Big Mac]

Defensive field settings have gotten Yousuf wickets all test. Although this is no time for such field placements.

I think a lot of us are falling into the trap of listening to the commentators and what they have to say. They are making it a huge issue.

They weren't THIS defensive though. Fortunately the batsman are playing bizarrely too, Hussey taking singles early and turning down singles that they should be taking

 

[saj001]

siddle on strike , we can finally get all over at him

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

297/8

 

[saadibaba]

This defense is strange......whats going on here.....seems like Moyo plans to restrict them rather than get them out. What if they just make 1-2 runs per over and stay till lunch. That will still be lot of runs plus Australia's confidence is going to improve and ours going get worse. Just don't see that desire to win in Pak today.....very strange

 

[karachiite]

Danish manages to get siddle on strike. Asif finally gets a full over at Siddle. They better bring EVERYONE in now

 

[Khabri420]

Don't worry guys. Things take time. It will be all right. Inshaallah.

Enjoy the match.

Exactly. InshaALLAH we'll wrap this up soon.

I think all of us should mute the commentary

 

[Momo]

i give up

Hey hey. It's a match (emohasis on the last word). The opposition are here to play as well. Good contest!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Better field setting.

 

[critical]

some pakpassion posters havent got the temprament to play test cricket. if they was playing the test would be finished in day 2

 

[cricfan967]

that's more like it!

 

[Big Mac]

There you go, Hussey takes a single 3rd ball and then they take a single from the 5th ball to give Siddle the strike from the first ball of Asif's over.

Aussie tactics make no sense at all either

 

[syd_pak]

better field....

 

[12thMan]

i give up

Thank you. Who is next?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I was glad at close of play last night as pakistan were letting them off but it carried on from yesterday which is very surprising considering this could be biggest moment in these guys career.

Thats right! Attitude plays a big part in a team's victory and here its the complete opposite as there's no buzz no fielder's running around to stop the easy singles nothing at all! Just all laid back and waiting for things to happen!

 

[karachiite]

Needs a short-leg here

 

[saeed-sohail]

Out hogya yaar

 

[Saqs]

Cmon guys, put the foot down and wrap things up before the lead gets over 100.

Please don't let Hussey get a ton.

 

[kingusama92]

i give up

) )

No wonder no one watches tests in Pakistan. They've just started playing and you give up?!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

i give up

What a fan you are.

 

[karachiite]

Siddle is not going to take a single even if you push everyone back

 

[cricfan967]

Thats it! Don't run.

 

[mugsy]

Do we wana win this test match or what...Moyo get your flamin act together n start attacking both batsmen...at least for the start of the over...we've got them 8 down and clean them up!! Forget this defensive nonsense

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Australia is not taking any singles??????????

 

[Deewana Mastana]

There you go, Hussey takes a single 3rd ball and then they take a single from the 5th ball to give Siddle the strike from the first ball of Asif's over.

Aussie tactics make no sense at all either

As its only the 4th day so Aussies are in no real rush to get quick runs on the board so they're just taking it easy especially with this field placements and all! 1 wicket here of either one and we'll see a rush in the Aus camp to get as many runs as possible!

The longer these 2 are out there, they'll feel secured and in the game and literally after a while may start getting those quick runs that their team needs!

 

[12thMan]

Thats right! Attitude plays a big part in a team's victory and here its the complete opposite as there's no buzz no fielder's running around to stop the easy singles nothing at all! Just all laid back and waiting for things to happen!

Just wait for the IPL and all will change and nothing to do with captain. It is the players and situation

 

[saj001]

Over gone

 

[cricfan967]

You guys think it would be good to bring in farhat for an over?

 

[uzy99]

why are we so defensive???

 

[karachiite]

Here we go, come on Danish. Let's have a sensible field for him please

Sidldle is more likely to survive an over from Asif than a coupla balls from Kaneria and Hussey knows that.

 

[Khabri420]

Wicket coming up next over InshALLAH

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

please oh please take these two wickets .

 

[iHammad]

91/8

 

[12thMan]

why are we so defensive???

Not enough runs

 

[Inswinger]

Looked like an edge....

 

[saj001]

did he glove it?

 

[Zechariah]

Patience guys, patience.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 for Hussey

Hits it in the gap

Good shot

 

[CricketBuff]

Both Captain and Vice Captain need to be dropped!1 Shameful!!
