Australia v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Melbourne | Dec 26-30, 2016 | Day 5

[Syed1]

Sami sure blunted the new ball didn't he.

Mashallah nazar na lagaye humaray opener ko

 

[Syed1]

Be ready for 2-0 chaps

 

[Buffet]

Match will be a draw. Even Pakistan can't lose 10 wickets here in this pitch.

 

[pasha404]

I can't see Pakistan survive 2 sessions definitely going to lose this.this Azhar record he hasn't scored in 2 consecutive innings Babar,Misbah,YK are walking wickets the match will be over around tea time.

 

[Zeshan547]

Match will be a draw. Even Pakistan can't lose 10 wickets here in this pitch.

for goodness sake stop this reverse jinxing, and we don't even need any jinxing to collapse to begin with. We have been through this script too many times to believe that this time the ending will be any different.

 

[pasha404]

Going forward SK should be used only in T20s.in tests &Jodi Hassan Ali should be the choice needs to phase out the unfit and useless players

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

SCG we could go with Ashgar in place of Wahab or Sohail?

Keep Amir, Yasir, Asghar and Wahab as the attack on a spin track?

 

[Sadevdesai]

No need to hit 4s, 6s or take cheeky singles .... all defensive prods with bottom Soft all the time. Duck under the bouncers .... no hooking .... that should see us through, I believe.

 

[Vayuu]

TBH, that's why u don't bat the slow way as u have done; Australia batted 15 over more than pak and scored 181 freaking runs more than you, that is not only huge it is embarrassing for pak, can't believe misbah didn't do anything to stop that, Yasir crossing 200 twice in a year , I think it's the first ever, the thing is I am sorry to say but Azhar innings the momentum for u guys, on dead pitches need to score a bit faster.

 

[Zeshan547]

If we don't make these three changes we are bound to lose at sydney, Sami out sharjeel In, Yasir out Asghar In, Sohail out Rahat In, these three changes can't do worse than the players they will replace but if they perform they have potential to win the match for pak or really help the cause.

 

[Zeshan547]

Ideally i would also drop both yk and misbah, but we know practically they won't be dropped regardless of how pathetic their performance is.

 

[hamzie]

wheres the rain yaar

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Umpires call!

 

[Rayyman]

Asghar is too young and too raw. Most spinners should debut in mid-20s, but I think he will be ready in 2-3 years. He also needs to become better in batting.

 

[castortroy]

Yep Pak to be Bowled out for 130 here

 

[Solid Snake]

What's going on??

 

[castortroy]

The way Pak bowled you just knew the batting with have the same approach

 

[FlickedOffHips]

time for the veterans to steady the ship.

 

[Haseeb 22]

Starc swearing at Azhar

 

[Rayyman]

Starc swearing at Azhar

One who speaks garbage turns into it himself.

 

[castortroy]

Aussie bowlers have done more in 3 overs than the entire Pak bowling innings

I don't think run-rate has been the major issue for Pakistan.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The ball is doing quite a bit now.

 

[Sin Nombre]

What would Azhar's average be if we applied Amir logic (of beating edges or leading edges)?

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

pakistan have to play to new ball well now after that it wil easy to bat

 

[Buffet]

for goodness sake stop this reverse jinxing, and we don't even need any jinxing to collapse to begin with. We have been through this script too many times to believe that this time the ending will be any different.

Why do you think it's reverse jinx? Pakistan just need to see off first 15-20 overs and it's a dead pitch.

 

[Buffet]

[MENTION=97523]Buffet[/MENTION] Talk Nah?

Let's see after 15 overs. Pakistan can lose 4 wickets and still it will be very hard to take 10 wickets.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Let's see after 15 overs. Pakistan can lose 4 wickets and still it will be very hard to take 10 wickets.

Another 3 wickets by tea and Australia win. 2 down or 3 down at tea and it is a comfortable draw.

 

[Rayyman]

Should I watch the match or go to sleep?

 

[Sachin136]

wheres the rain yaar

There is no rain forecasted for today in Melbourne.

 

[Buffet]

Another 3 wickets by tea and Australia win. 2 down or 3 down at tea and it is a comfortable draw.

Pakistan need to just hold on for few overs. Ball will not do anything after that.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Should I watch the match or go to sleep?

Even on the east coast, it is only 9:30. The match result would be known in another hour.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Saeed]

Should I watch the match or go to sleep?

If you don't want to see Pakistan lose, sleep.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Babar Azam was a failed experiemnt

PCB PEOPLE ODI FORM =/ TEST FORM

 

[imshally81]

bach gia...

 

[PakLFC]

If anyone can lose from here it's Pakistan. I am still very nervy about this match.

We all are we are 2 down in 6 overs...with two useless oldies in there and a pathetic mindset
I would be surpeised if we even come close to drawing this

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar should be given one more test , Sami should be dropped next test

 

[Iffitheking]

2 down 8 to go

 

[Rayyman]

Babar Azam was a failed experiemnt

PCB PEOPLE ODI FORM =/ TEST FORM

Shafiq averaging 50 at 3. Move him back to 6 so Babar can play at 3 because of ODI performances.

Pakistani logic

 

[Justcrazy]

Lyon could have made a fifty here , and Pakistan is scratching

 

[Sin Nombre]

Azhar Ali up to 3 on Amir (tm) edge count.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should look to score , that will ease nerves.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Starc is not threatening at all. Got one ball to swing to get Babar but that's it.

Hazlewood still bowling 1 or 2 good deliveries an over.

Maybe time to try Lyon for Starc?

 

[Rayyman]

Azhar Ali up to 3 on Amir (tm) edge count.

What are you talking about. Speak English.

 

[Justcrazy]

59 overs , 8 wickets in hand.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Free bird

 

[Sin Nombre]

What are you talking about. Speak English.

Go to sleep and come back when you are able to recall the hundreds of posts talking about Amir's hypothetical average.

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar just managing to hang on , Aussies are bowling well here

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I'd trust our boys to lose from here

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar needs to survive here , playing defensively will make them collapse

 

[Rayyman]

Go to sleep and come back when you are able to recall the hundreds of posts talking about Amir's hypothetical average.

Naa bro. I'm getting ready to go watch YK smash Lyon.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lyon in now.

 

[Buffet]

YK should simply consume all overs of Lyon. 15 overs without wicket and Aus will cool down.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] kahan hay larkay...... ???

 

[Justcrazy]

this two have batted 8 overs so far

 

[Sin Nombre]

Test saved. Australia have lost their zip.

 

[Rayyman]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] kahan hay larkay...... ???

On the plane back to Pakistan.

 

[Saeed]

Test saved. Australia have lost their zip.

We lost 10 wickets in 39 overs in NZ. It's not over until it is.

 

[Abdullah719]

Go to sleep and come back when you are able to recall the hundreds of posts talking about Amir's hypothetical average.

I honestly don't recall seeing any posts about his hypothetical average in relation to missed edges, besides the sarcasm.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lyon will be important for Aussies here.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Test saved. Australia have lost their zip.

You never say never with Pakistan.....

Even if there are eight balls left, I'd still be wary and until and unless we actually cross the line I won't settle or believe for anything anyone says otherwise !!

We have all seen this too many times

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

On the plane back to Pakistan.

Seriously ??

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Test saved. Australia have lost their zip.

we're one wicket away from Pakistan batsmen doing their best impression of Bangladesh.

 

[Syed1]

On the plane back to Pakistan.

Lol no

 

[Syed1]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] kahan hay larkay...... ???

Didn't this guy make a new thread about it?

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/s...Pakistan-quot-Moin-Khan&p=9025378#post9025378

"it takes a special kind of idiot to deny Amir deserved 5 wickets this innings with the number of edges and beaten and regardless of wickets he has been the best bowler."

Saw similar posts in the other half a dozen Amir threads.


If he was trolling, well played sir but unlikely.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen 13 now. They have played 80 balls between them so far.

Right. So that's one, not hundred.

Other posts were simply mentioning how often he beat the edge, which was factual.

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis will like to come closer to 10 K run mark.

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis khan 219 away from his dream now.

 

[Buffet]

10 more overs without wicket & match should be done.

 

[Justcrazy]

If pakistan will look to score , they will be better .

 

[Syed1]

Well they aren't going to play the full 50 odd overs. If say there are 10-15 overs left and we have 6-7 wickets in hand, both captains will shake hands and call it a draw.

 

[Rayyman]

Michael Clarke every time on air, "It doesn't matter if what happens, you have to look to attack and take wickets."

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis

 

[Buffet]

Good batting practice for YK here. Just bat for some time and Lyon is there to score some runs.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Younis bhai playin well.

 

[Justcrazy]

56 / 2

50 overs left
