Warne I think had it spot on:

He talked about this line DK isnt bowling - he bowled it once and SA recognised and commended him with "thats the line"

MoYo is bafflingly defensive - Never had 1 bat pad on the leg side.
 
This is pathetic to watch at the moment. Yousuf has no clue does he? No plans or ideas and the guy has all the experience in the world. Everything is defensive, negative.

I think Sami is like Nathan Bracken - he's useless unless there are clouds overhead, moisture in the air and grass on the wicket. He looked unplayable in the first innings in Sydney but looked toothless in the second.

I am not sure if he picked up any wickets, but his second spell in second inning was pretty good. Kamran of course dropped another catch of his bowling

MoYo simply is not a student of a game (when it comes to tactics). So he has to resort to tactics he gets from coaches. They tell him something easy to remember, and he just tries those things in field until a break comes along. I hope they some how (gracefully replace him) and get a captain who can actually set a proper field.
 
Errr...test matches are boring...let the one day and 20/20 begins...Aus get ready for some major phainty ;)
 
MoYo is going down as the most negative captain in the history of Pakistan

Bowlers get the message that we can't get them out and now we are playing for a draw.
 
Excellent recovery by these 2.

Has been a day of 2 halves really, Pakistan dominated the morning session and the first half of the second session looked really tough for Pup and Punter. Now we have the ascendancy and should make hay.

Dumb captaincy from Yousuf but I don't expect anything better now....
 
What are you guys trying to do with this bowling? You need a fishing pole to hit some of these deliveries.
 
First time I can recall seeing a leggie deliberately pitch it way outside off stump and turning away. Useless stuff.

OG Greig was born annoying.

unbeliveably pathetic captaincy from MOyo...
Pakistan are disgracing themselves here
If he isnt sacked for this, then for what will he be?

what else you expect us to do? We gave Ponting a favor by dropping his catch. Now he has made his century and he should return us the favor by getting out which he is not!

Well yeh message :moyo kay dimag main kon dalay? oh wait he doesn't have brain
 
I just don't get it. It doesn't make a difference if you loose by 100 runs or 300 runs, MoYo trying to cut down the deficit of loss. The only way we can survive is getting these guys out.
 
All your worries will come to an end by switching off your TV sets... try it - I have now attained Nirvana - ie until I read the score on PP :(

Did that 5 hours ago. Glad I did not turn it on again! :moyo
 
Can someone tell why Pak have not taken the new ball?

Edit- hang on I know why, the old ball is senior. :moyo

that is not even question now:) they already scored enough runs for our 2 innings:)
 
OK guys - cool off on the abuse pls.

I believe pin dolls with MoYo's head will be the new rage in Pakistani fan homes....
 
lol MIG bhai.

I did not watch the match after lunch so I have no idea what Moyo did wrong or right but this thread is obviously not filled with happy posts.

lucky man you are
 
I honestly wish we would have dropped 3 or 4 more catches. At least we would have had something to talk about:)

So, only one drop so far?
 
Why is everyone crying about the score limiting tactics? Yousef wanted to limit scoring until new ball could be taken for a few overs, no reason to let Aussies run away with the game and letting them score more than we can chase in 2 innings

New ball is taken and hopefully will be new enough for the morning attack as well when bowlers are fresh.

You would think he might have taken the new ball when it was available then eh? :13:
 
Very good batting display by the Aussies. Yes Pakistan aren't bowling particularly well but clarke and pointing have done well and deserve their scores.

To me it was far more frustrating struggling to bowl Siddle for the last wicket.
