Australia v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Melbourne | Dec 26-30, 2016 | Day 2

[imshally81]

250 Up

 

[MMHS]

Who Asad, and Azhar?

Azhar averages - 46.34 In Aus - 95
Asad averages - 41.94 In Aus - 63

Still can't beat ATG Butt, you have to put a filter of 500 runs (but don't mention number of matches played).

 

[Syed1]

Good Sarf off the strike

 

[Justcrazy]

250 up.

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar needs to slog a few here.

 

[Big Mac]

[MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] is conspicuous by his absence.

Probably mourning the feat of Azhar overtaking Butt as the GOAT Pakistan batsman in Australia.

He's waiting for the Aussies to bat so he can bang on about Asif

 

[Saeed]

Only 5 runs of the over. Looks Sarfraz doesn't plan on to hit a quick fifty.

 

[Syed1]

He's waiting for the Aussies to bat so he can bang on about Asif

Yeah that is plan B

 

[MMHS]

Lol I thought Starc was gonna be the biggest threat on this Australian tour. But he's looked worse than Hazelwood and Bird.

Pace will never be the biggest problem for PAK batsmen; may be for 1st Test - that too for playing in UAE. It's the movement which troubles - that too for playing on UAE & domestic wickets, where you can drive with static front-foot with bottom hand.

bhai
Allaah ka khoof rakh

 

[Syed1]

Pathetic batting when the required run rate is touching double digits

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Azhar has driven beautifully.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Pathetic batting when the required run rate is touching double digits

yea cheez Larkay !! laga Reh

 

[MMHS]

If PAK had the old Ajmal, Starc has done enough to lose this Test with 7 lefti.

 

[QalandarFan]

Starc is in the danger zone every ball!

 

[street cricketer]

Pakistan should bat once and bat big.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Azhar has driven beautifully.

Na Karo yar

On Point: This is some extreme low quality batting !!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Starc seems too impatient when he isn't getting wickets.

Gotta learn from hazlewood.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Na Karo yar

On Point: This is some extreme low quality batting !!

Salman Butt aur Akmal ko bulao yaar batting dikhayein ge tumhe

 

[Justcrazy]

Slight drizzil is on now

 

[Syed1]

Starc looks resigned, defeated body language.

 

[Big Mac]

Love all the people who mainly watch paijama cricket thinking Starc was going to be a huge danger in tests.

 

[Syed1]

Pakistan should bat once and bat big.

Koshish tou yehi hai

 

[FreakCricket]

Starc losing the plot quick, bowling short and wide for no reason

 

[Justcrazy]

If PAK had the old Ajmal, Starc has done enough to lose this Test with 7 lefti.

It was idiotic not to bring in a off spinner , that too after knowing Aussies have so many left handers

 

[Madplayer]

Salman Butt aur Akmal ko bulao yaar batting dikhayein ge tumhe

This is really pathetic batting. At this point they need to go at at least 6 runs an over.

 

[Big Mac]

This is really pathetic batting. At this point they need to go at at least 6 runs an over.

Why?

Show your working please.

 

[street cricketer]

Koshish tou yehi hai

Translation?

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Sarfraz coming down the track to the pacers is good.

He hasn't done it that much since the England series which allows the bowlers to bowl at one spot.

 

[Syed1]

Sarf going on the walk

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

This is really pathetic batting. At this point they need to go at at least 8 runs an over.

Corrected Brother - Seriously Pathetic Batting by the Boys !!

 

[Big Mac]

It was idiotic not to bring in a off spinner , that too after knowing Aussies have so many left handers

Wait for Sohail's second spell

 

[Saeed]

Starc doesn't need to do anything because he knows bird will take all the wickets.

 

[QalandarFan]

Edged for

 

[Syed1]

Translation?

"That is what we are trying"


It looses its tongue-in-cheek aspect when translated

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Translation?

That's the Plan

 

[street cricketer]

Love all the people who mainly watch paijama cricket thinking Starc was going to be a huge danger in tests.

In all fairness, he was in fantastic form in Sri Lanka.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Baarish ho rahi hai.

Ian Gould aur Ravi ko khujli ho rahi hai.

Excuse the lame joke plzzz

 

[QalandarFan]

The ball doesn't look 10 overs old.

 

[Syed1]

Baarish ho rahi hai.

Ian Gould aur Ravi ko khujli ho rahi hai.

Excuse the lame joke plzzz

They need to consult with Smith first

 

[Madplayer]

Why?

Show your working please.

Cant you see. Time is running out. Really poor batting. Cant even hit over the infield.

 

[Syed1]

The ball doesn't look 10 overs old.

Mainly because the bat has hardly touched it

 

[Justcrazy]

Drizzling continues .

 

[Justcrazy]

Cant you see. Time is running out. Really poor batting. Cant even hit over the infield.

That is the level of talent and skills they have .

You cannot get Gayle , warner or Kohli from them. Its simply not possible.

 

[Saeed]

Yaar bharas nay bhee aaj hi hona tha. We are doing good and rain spoiled it.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That was some final destination stuff

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Ok, This may sound random but Hazzlewood seriously reminds me of Peanut Butter Spread

I don't really know why but whenever I see him bowling I feel like I would love a peanut butter sandwich !!

Does anyone else experience such a feeling ??

 

[QalandarFan]

This guy is bowling dot after dot.

 

[Madplayer]

Corrected Brother - Seriously Pathetic Batting by the Boys !!

The only person who gets it. :

 

[Sarfarazian92]

shot yaaaar azhar

 

[street cricketer]

"That is what we are trying"


It looses its tongue-in-cheek aspect when translated

That's the Plan

Ha ha..

This is going to be a rain curtailed match. There is no point in making a brave declaration and allowing Aussies to come back into the game and clinch the series here.

Keeping the series alive till Sydney and giving yourself the best chance of squaring the series in probably the best venue for Pakistan in the series is the way to go.

Nope.

 

[QalandarFan]

Another good Drive from Azhar!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Beautiful shot

 

[Justcrazy]

azhar moves to 125

 

[Big Mac]

Cant you see. Time is running out. Really poor batting. Cant even hit over the infield.

No, I can't see. Which is why I asked you to provide a proper explanation.

 

[Syed1]

No, I can't see. Which is why I asked you to provide a proper explanation.

Sir I think you need to enroll in Sarcasm 101

 

[Madplayer]

Over and drinks gentlemen

 

[Madplayer]

Sir I think you need to enroll in Sarcasm 101

And also anti- jinxing.

Thank you

 

[Saeed]

Current partnership 28 runs at the RR of 4.6

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Should get 350 now

 

[Syed1]

Over and drinks gentlemen

Did he consult Smith before making that call?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Azhar is batting extreme poorly, FGS man your SR is still <50 WHAT ARE YOU DOING MATE !!

 

[Justcrazy]

Thats drinks break .

268 / 5

 

[imshally81]

Last 10 overs : 36/1 RR 3.60

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar is batting extreme poorly, FGS man your SR is still <50 WHAT ARE YOU DOING MATE !!

Azhar is unique player , he should be allowed to occupy crease , problem is others have to bat differently and not like him.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Azhar is batting extreme poorly, FGS man your SR is still <50 WHAT ARE YOU DOING MATE !!

Stop the sarcasm man. Some of those t20 fans will actually start thinking they are right

 

[Saeed]

Azhar is batting extreme poorly, FGS man your SR is still <50 WHAT ARE YOU DOING MATE !!

Well it's working for him. Everyone else has come and gone.

 

[Madplayer]

Did he consult Smith before making that call?

Dont know for sure but smith did make some weird gestures with his fingers.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Azhar is unique player , he should be allowed to occupy crease , problem is others have to bat differently and not like him.

Case in Point ^^^^^^^^^

Stop the sarcasm man. Some of those t20 fans will actually start thinking they are right

Thank you

Hard to tell in these match threads

 

[Saeed]

Azhar should get out now, I want to see some sixes.

 

[Big Mac]

Azhar should get out now, I want to see some sixes.

Not happening without Rahat in the lower order.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sarfraz nicks it

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Abey saifi

 

[Justcrazy]

wicket number 99 for Hazelwood

 

[imshally81]

 

[Saeed]

Not happening without Rahat in the lower order.

What's not happening, sixes or Azhar getting out?

 

[QalandarFan]

Yaar Sarfraz out!

 

[DRsohail]
