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

[syd_pak]

To keep it simple - he has no clue vs the fast men and wanted to attack the spinners.

I have no words

 

[Justcrazy]

Its better to lose with youngsters rather than old horses like Younis and Misbah

 

[Abdul]

I wouldn't mind a mid tour sacking of Misbah and Younis.

I'm even willing to take the karvi goli and accept Azhar as captain. Who knows he might even do a better job than useless Misbah.

Mashallah.

 

[haroon91]

Pakistan gifting Lyon two wickets so that he doesn't get dropped for Sydney

 

[PakLFC]

We have a massive psychological problem and are mentally so weak that has again been proved. After scoring almost 500 in the first innings we're now in this pathetic position of being close to losing the match. It's good and well saying Misbah and Younis should retire as if we have great replacements waiting to score centuries. We just can't take any pressure at all.

 

[Jabo]

Lol

As expected

Only we could lose from the position we were in 2 days ago

If we lose this

Play

Sharjeel
Azhar
Shafiq
Babar
Misbah
Rizwan
Sarfraz (wk)

Guys any chance of rain

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Guys any chance of rain

LOL don't worry this is gonna be a draw without rain.

 

[Buffet]

Just score some runs and game will be safe. Dead blocking is the worst way to go.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hilarious comment on cricinfo

 

[Syed1]

Atleast our runrate is 3 rpo LOL

 

[marlonbrowndo]

10 overs at a time. Just get us within 15 overs

 

[Syed1]

Hilarious comment on cricinfo

I went and read it after you posted here Lol funny

 

[Rayyman]

Need to send Amir at 8 and Shah at 9. The others will just blindlessly slog.

 

[Justcrazy]

42 overs more

 

[transitional]

Only twice team has lost by innings after making 400 first before November not overall.

Yes I meant to say "by an innings"... lol forgot the most important part

 

[Vivek_86]

Spare a thought for Azhar. Dude might've thought after first innings that it won't get any more difficult. But look now , he is fighting again to save Pakistan

 

[Syed1]

42 overs more

I will only begin to believe once we bring it down to 20 overs remaining

 

[Slog]

Over the years there has been one constant

Pakistani batting has never failed to disappoint

 

[Syed1]

Spare a thought for Azhar. Dude might've thought after first innings that it won't get any more difficult. But look now , he is fighting again to save Pakistan

Boy definitely earned his match fees and then some. Misbah, Younis, Shah and Sohail should donate their match fees to Azhar if they want to make their kamai halal

 

[Justcrazy]

97 runs trailing by pakistan

 

[marlonbrowndo]

These two have soaked up a ton of pressure in this series

 

[Rayyman]

Vicky bhai is resting in the commie box.

 

[Vivek_86]

Vicky bhai is resting in the commie box.

Axxelent

 

[Syed1]

Buttta

 

[Zak_Fan]

Not enough overs left. This is a draw.

 

[Mamoon]

Losing a day to rain has prevented Australia from inflicting a whitewash. If the weather permits, they will secure a 2-0 win in Sydney.

Yet there was some people who were thumping their chests that if we get grassless wickets in Melbourne and Sydney, we will beat them because it will bring the best spinner in the world into action.

 

[Rayyman]

How much lead do we need before we declare?

You're rubbing it in ,aren't ya?

[Cricket World]

How these guys find find bounce from these dead tracks that too at 130k

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Situation Right now !!

 

[Rayyman]

Mamoon is enjoying it alot

His logic is flawed as always. No point in correcting him as he always has an answer built on angsty emotions.

 

[Cricket World]

Situation Right now !!

Is that Shezzy bear behind him?

[Big Mac]

I decide to go to Leicester and back during the morning session and I come back to this? Oh Pakistan

Thats hilarious. I can't stop laughing

 

[Buffet]

4 wickets gone, but I still think 95% chance that it will be a draw. It's hard to take 10 wickets in this pitch.

Misbah on this tour...

View attachment 71813

Literally what I was thinking when I saw his dismissal. Wonder if the usual suspects will praise him for being brave and aggressive

Shafiq gone now, oh dear

 

[Buffet]

Oh, my, Lyon is taking wickets out of all bowlers. Poor cricket from Pakistan here.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lol Asad gone.

 

[Syed1]

Well our weakest four are gone no biggie. Our best bats come in at 7 and 8 anyway

 

[Rayyman]

Had a good day today. This match kinda ruined it.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbah on this tour...

View attachment 71813

He's set worse fields than afridi though. Something I didn't think was possible

Lo jee Shafiq goes

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Oh God now I'm starting to panick

Remember hoping for the same thing during Edgebaston.

 

[hass]

We are a joke. ABSOLUTE joke.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Mental Capitulation in Progress

 

[Buffet]

Well our weakest four are gone no biggie. Our best bats come in at 7 and 8 anyway

Hopefully they bat out overs. Very poor batting to gift wickets to Lyon here to here. I want to see series live going into the third test.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Send in the night watchman. Oh wait, Misbah and Younis already got out

 

[Syed1]

Panic stations everyone

 

[Cricket World]

Panic does lots of funny things and we can see how wickets are gifted to nothing deliveries

 

[Madplayer]

Cant believe this

How many overs left?

Where is rain when u need it

 

[jnaveen1980]

If only they had a decent bowler who can bowl accurate bouncers they would wrap this up in another half an hour.

 

[Syed1]

No way are we saving this now

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Panic stations everyone

Lol Just now ?? That apparently happened the minute we were put into bat !!

 

[Rayyman]

Cant believe this?

How many overs left?

No hope for rain. Hoping for some random interruptions now.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Cant believe this

How many overs left?

Many !!

Where is rain when u need it

Not Happening !!

 

[Syed1]

Lol Just now ?? That apparently happened the minute we were put into bat !!

I had confidence that the boys will shut up shop. I was so wrong

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

Why the hel is drawing games dificult now for pakistan

 

[Itachi]

Pakistan never ceases to amuse lol.

You gotta give credit. Either way, Pakistan is the most exciting team at present.

 

[castortroy]

So most of the game wiped out to rain. Pak bat first and score 440 and still going to lose

Classic Pak mentality

 

[Madplayer]

Many !!



Not Happening !!

What about snow?

 

[Rayyman]

Okay I made my decision. Time to sleep. Will dreadfully look at the scorecard tomorrow morning.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

What about snow?

I'd have more chance of finding a Unicorn than this !!

[Madplayer]

I'd have more chance of finding a Unicorn than this !!

Oh man this isnt happening!! How can anyone lose a match like this?

 

[Abdul]

A loss is likely on the cards now. Don't think anyone can deny that.

Have to feel bad for Azhar. All of his hard work will go down the drain because of useless seniors in the team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Going on the defensive will be suicidal.

 

[Statsman]

Aussies have been unlucky with the rain. This match could've got over long back had it not rained.

 

[Muhammad10]

Peak Pakistan:

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Kia horaha hai yaar?

3rd time this are we capitulating on the last day smh

 

[Vivek_86]

Can Azhar get a hundred?

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Will 37 overs be bowled regardless of how long it takes?

 

[fast1975]

and when i pointed out this yesterday, few posters were yelling at me for being pessimistic

where are those posters now? hello?

it is all about statistics and track record...i can cite you 50 events where pakistan got suddenly flat in 2nd innings and may be 3 times when they survived....so we have lack of confidence not pessimism.

when wasim and waqar used to bowl, we were always optimistic that they will win it for us no matter what. we were not pessimistic then.

so dont blame us, blame your mahan batting....yae bemarie bhot purani hai sarkar....sorry, cant trust them on pretext of patriotism . they need to earn our trust.
