[IMMY69]

I am going to bed now but when I wake up in the morning I am fearing the following results,

Australia 520 for 8 declared / Pakistan 20 for 4

or

Australia all out with lead of anything over 150 and with Pakistan 72 all out!

Goodnight and godbless..

 

[filosofee]

Wickets!!! We only need two, why the wait???!!!

 

[12thMan]

siddle palying cover drive's )

Our top order can do that too

 

[Noman]

Yousuf the best captain ever

 

[don1990]

garbage cricket by pakistan ......

 

[germanboy]

i think Yousuf will bring Sami back after Kaneria over

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

lead is now 127
what aus got in the first innings

 

[Lightning]

Hmm... well that sucks. Good one from Gul for 4. UGH.

 

[Oxy]

Evening all.

This is not good

 

[cricfan967]

ALMOST a wicket doesn't count as anything.
Is it 333/8 1/2?

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

defended to extra cover
no run

 

[luvthegame]

good ball just missed...it happens..

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

drinks

 

[coy0607]

everyone keeps talking about the field settings but what about bringing on sami.......give your express bowler a few overs against the tail.....isnt that the best thing about having a guy who can bowl 150 kmh

 

[karachiite]

I hope they bang their head together during the drinks break. They really need to

 

[amjad_ali]

lol 4 of an edge! Guys, the body language suggests that OZs will get a lead of over 200!

 

[On_the_up]

An hour to forget for Pakistan.

 

[Oxy]

Wickets!!! We only need two, why the wait???!!!

We're playing for a draw??

 

[cricfan967]

Bowlers, start yelling at Yousuf.

 

[ShehryarK]

Lead of 127!

Bloody heck

 

[Zechariah]

No passion, no desire, dead body language, my goodness!
2 Good Balls! Please!

 

[Noman]

Its fun cricket

 

[Afridi_Fan]

anyone for Tuc with Coca Cola?

 

[iHammad]

4 doesn't carry

 

[cricfan967]

We're playing for a draw??

Actually it is unclear what were doing right now.
Yousuf looks clueless

 

[germanboy]

well guys dont forget pitch is getting better and better yes Pakistan will play the 4th inning but we are only in day 4!

so InschAllah 150-180 should not be a problem here!

but only bad thing is at the moment it could be much better

 

[don1990]

misbah should learn from siddle how to play in tense situation...l

 

[Big Mac]

Sensible fielding placings at last, Yousuf turning the normal chain of events for a Pakistan captain on their head by panicking first before attacking afterwards

 

[pakdentist]

why is gul bowling bouncers when they are clearly not doing anything! hes best when he pitches it up at speed...

 

[Khabri420]

Did they forget Sami in the hotel?

 

[saj001]

Evening all.

This is not good

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We're playing for a draw??

Oxy! What we will be discussing during the break?

 

[iHammad]

Drinks.

 

[Noman]

I am loving it,, Really hope Australia win this,,,

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Is this an Indian forum? All these new boys are too negative

 

[JeeraBlade]

All I have to say is --- well played Kamran!

 

[Inswinger]

Yousuf is just trying to make it more interesting. Relax fellas. This one is ours.

 

[Lightning]

Over 70 runs for the 8th wicket. Impressive huh?

 

[tauseefm]

Did they forget Sami in the hotel?

He is warming up biryani for

 

[Sohaib-789]

mayb the lassi yousuf will drink wil create sum adrenaline

 

[cricfan967]

Did they forget Sami in the hotel?

Apparently Yousuf thinks its ok to choose an extra bowler instead of an extra batsmen and only make him bowl 12 overs out of the 104 bowled.

 

[Oxy]

Why are heads dropped? How badly do these guys want it? Ive been watching Kamran Akmal last 45 mins.

He is playing back 3 dropped catches & a missed run out constantly in his mind

 

[tauseefm]

Yousuf is just trying to make it more interesting. Relax fellas. This one is ours.

which one? lol

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Is this an Indian forum? All these new boys are too negative

 

[mmkextreme_1]

*** is going on!! Damn! Leave it to Pakistan to do something like this!

 

[McBoom]

Why the hell is Asif not bowling? Why are we using Kaneria with a new ball??

This is atrocious stuff from kuptaan.

 

[Inswinger]

Is this an Indian forum? All these new boys are too negative

Yeah. The 2009 batch has brought a lot of negativity. The 2007 newcomers were much more optimist.

 

[Lara400]

Frustrating mornings play, more frustrating are the frustrated ppers posts. I am a tad frustrated too but as you might gather I need my sleep, so with the drinks break its Good Morning to all.

 

[Tapori]

Yousuf turning the normal chain of events for a Pakistan captain on their head by panicking first before attacking afterwards

Indeed.

Better over by Gul.

 

[Oxy]

Oxy! What we will be discussing during the break?

The hour long argument my wife had with me which meant I missed the 1st hour???

 

[karachiite]

No change in the field to Hussey

 

[fanimw]

ha ha ha ha ha Pakistan lose this match

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

driven to covers
no run

 

[Noman]

Danish on

 

[germanboy]

Danish Kaneria to Hussey

 

[ShehryarK]

Sensible fielding placings at last, Yousuf turning the normal chain of events for a Pakistan captain on their head by panicking first before attacking afterwards

Well I guess everyone is allowed one or two mistakes. The first hour today was a mistake by Yousuf. However, the whole "think-tank" including the "amazing genius" Waqar share the blame.

What I don't understand though is the listless approach in the field - where's the buzz? We don't 'look' like taking wickets....regardless of the field placing.

 

[sali]

Drinks. Captain needs a lots of cofee and mountain dew. He is lacking energy and aggression.

I can't imagine how Oz press and Pak seniors will blast MoYo and Akmal if we lost this game from a lead of 50/8 for oz.

 

[adiabbasi]

yousuf is out of idea he need to go out of the ground stick his head in the toilet flush it that will make his mind fresh may be he can come up with something new ideas poor captaincy

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

defended to backward point
slip fields
no run

 

[Tapori]

The frustration is frustrating

 

[karachiite]

Hussey is gonna score 150. Siddle looks set for a 50 here.

 

[ahsan17]

We really deserve to lose if we go on to lose from here. Dropped catches and pathetic captaincy. Negative mind frame. They should be bowling yorkers to siddle but instead are bowling bouncers which he will happily duck under.

 

[octavian]

stop the panic guys.. we have got this

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

full toss
swept around the corner
single to hussey

germanboy wie geht's?

 

[ShehryarK]

I am loving it,, Really hope Australia win this,,,

Pathetic comment.

 

[Noman]

single taken,,,

I dont get why the players look down

We are in a SUPERB position - yes these 2 having an 80 odd partnership is not ideal BUT Australia have a 127 run lead (and counting) - that is a very gettable score on this pitch BUT im a little worried about the players demeanour

 

[germanboy]

Yousuf is just trying to make it more interesting. Relax fellas. This one is ours.

InschAllah

 

[SpiritOf1903]

mega props to Akhmal and Mishbah

 

[karachiite]

Comon Danish. Pleaseeee get a breakthrough here

 

[cricfan967]

The commentators are making me depressed

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The hour long argument my wife had with me which meant I missed the 1st hour???

That will take weeks to discuss, and we will have only 40 odd minutes. No?

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

good leg break
