Australia v Pakistan | 3rd Test - Day 1 | Hobart | 14/01/10

[Boi]

I told you it was out!

Need to get Ponting quickly though.

 

[Khabri420]

blow 'em away

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok, now lets bowl some quick short stuff at Punter. :aamir

 

[sali]

Excellent ball, attacking stumps pays off

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Sarfaraz did the first thing right in the test match!!!

 

[Lethal]

Yousuf takes about 10 minutes to decide each time.

Leave the poor chap alone.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Sarfraz will lead pakistan one day mark my words.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

ASOKA YOU SUCK...go back to srilanka

 

[Shezada]

watson must be really pissed now

 

[161]

aamer needs to come around the wicket and bowlk short to ponting again

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Here comes Pointing.

 

[saj001]

Lucky watson

 

[Lethal]

Ponting the new batsman.

Aamer continues.

 

[Sledger]

Yousuf really needs to hurry up though, captains need to be more decisive than that, the man is just not a leader.

 

[bantu]

katich goes for lbw after review................ well done asif (sarfraz,yusuf-for reviewing)

 

[Boi]

Go Aamer, Go!

 

[tahaqureshi]

Yes - great decision to review. Well done to the skipper, Asif and Sarfraz (plenty of pressure on him)

The commentators were actually complaining about how long the Pakistanis took to call a review but as soon as they saw how good the call was they shut up.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Watson is not comfortable against short balls so far.

 

[kingusama92]

Good stuff from Sarfraz. Right away going to the skipper and telling him it's out.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Is anybody else getting irritated by Sarfraz's "Oh oh ohhhhhhhh" after every ball? :akmal

Dont think its sarfraz its been happening since the NZ tour think its Farhat. A couple of things youl hear when pak is playing lately:

"oh oh oh ohhhhhh"

"waiting / waitey" Umar Akmal after every time he connects while batting

"you me you me you....choro yaar kon pakre"

 

[saj001]

4 more to twatson

 

[Big Mac]

Lost count of how many times in the series the commentators have complained about Yousuf's captaincy only for a wicket to fall in that same over. Unfortunately the only time it didn't work was Day 4 in Sydney

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Aamer should come around the wicket.

 

[who_dares]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another

 

[Lethal]

Watson on fire.

Another 4

22 off 29 balls now.

 

[germanboy]

yaar little confusion again.

umpire change his decision normaly usko apna hath kando pe rakhna chaiye tha aur us ke bad out dena chaiye tha.. am i right?

 

[ZAK]

:aamir is bowling one crap ball per over.

 

[161]

over pitched driven for 4 by watson .. are these guys ever gonna learn ?

 

[Shezada]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Watson beaten.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Stop pitching it up to him! hes not comfy with the short one and is strugling with the short one

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Nearly edged!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:aamir is daring Watson for that drive with those wide over pitched balls. Might nick one.

 

[Sledger]

Dont think its sarfraz its been happening since the NZ tour think its Farhat. A couple of things youl hear when pak is playing lately:

"oh oh oh ohhhhhh"

"waiting / waitey" Umar Akmal after every time he connects while batting

"you me you me you....choro yaar kon pakre"

No Akmal said it once in NZ but its coming from either Sarfraz or Manzoor at slip today.

Aamer still bowling very poorly with the new ball, he'll hope reverse swing will come into play later.

 

[TalhaSyed]

waaaaaan waaaaaan pointing bhai uss ne phir mera bat tora!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

34/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Can surprise Punter?

 

[Sohaib-789]

twatson goin crazyy

 

[Lethal]

Yousuf really needs to hurry up though, captains need to be more decisive than that, the man is just not a leader.

No doubt Yousuf is not a natural leader. He is trying his best.

It took time because he has to listen to both Asif and Sarfraz.

The series between SA and England - I saw countless reviews taking an eternity.

Maybe the ICC should enforce a time limit.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

So, I haven't been watching this test match...how is Sarfraz's fielding friends?

 

[Rizie]

good night everyone

 

[TalhaSyed]

No Akmal said it once in NZ but its coming from either Sarfraz or Manzoor at slip today.

Aamer still bowling very poorly with the new ball, he'll hope reverse swing will come into play later.

In that case that might be the valuable tip that Sarfraz said akmal gave him

 

[germanboy]

So, I haven't been watching this test match...how is Sarfraz's fielding friends?

so far all good

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So far the glove work of Sarfraz has been good.

 

[Lethal]

Come on Asif.

Get Ponting, work him over like you did Katich.

 

[ZAK]

waaaaaan waaaaaan pointing bhai uss ne phir mera bat tora!

)

 

[saj001]

ponting bit nervous

 

[Boi]

needs to keep it tight to Ponting. No freebies!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

ponting to be out soon.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

so far all good

So far the glove work of Sarfraz has been good.

Great! Thanks friends

 

[Lethal]

Nice bowling and aggression from Asif.

 

[Sledger]

I agree he's trying his best, but you're not born with the ability to lead like an Imran was.

I think if Ponting took as long as Yousuf everyone here would complain.

I wonder why Ponting's wearing a black arm band?

 

[saj001]

Asif is not getting his line right

 

[future doctor]

ZAK , i like ur signature.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Lethal]

Oh my days.

I can't believe it.

Aamer drops a sitter. Ponting on 0.

 

[Sledger]

Punter looks a bit nervous.

 

[Shezada]

Come On Man!!! Why?!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

I agree he's trying his best, but you're not born with the ability to lead like an Imran was.

I believe thay are wearing a black arm bands because someone passed yesterday.

 

[who_dares]

I was getting nervous as well. Its been almost one hour and we haven't dropped anything yet

 

[Boi]

Ponting is going to make us pay for that. Shocking fielding.
