[KingKhanWC]

Hopefully the rain wont ruin the day, YK and Azhar are set for big ones again.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Just imagine we hadn't choked at the MCG we might have got a drawn series.

Sad.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Just imagine we hadn't choked at the MCG we might have got a drawn series.

Sad.

Choke happened because of negative batting. If we had positive approach and made some good calls regarding batting order, we might have drawn the series. Bowling has been a big led down. When ever we have toured Australia, we have always bowled well.

 

[QalandarFan]

YK hasn't hit a ton yet but still I posted this yesterday when he came out to bat a 6/2 when everyone was saying he'll get out any time now.


Yesterday, 21:01 #233

YK to hit a hundred!

Of Course he will, since this is a dead rubber.

 

[Belawal2014]

Rain back..frustrating.

 

[Zeshan547]

Why it always rain when pak is batting, as for the luck goes we have been very unlucky whether it's losing toss, getting no edges, or these silly rain interruptions, we have been on the recieving end, but as they say you make your own luck, so i guess we deserved all this bad luck.

 

[Abdul]

Next pitch inspection is scheduled at 11am local time.

 

[Junaids]

Still drizzling.

Like England, huh.

Cashing in on the flattest track of the series.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Like England, huh.

Cashing in on the flattest track of the series.

If YK does hit a 100, he'll score 96 more than the "agressive" opener and 100 more than the Young Prodigy who both got the same flat track to bat on

Good for Younus.

 

[yasir]

Whenever we start batting rain and clouds come, not to mention we don't win the toss

In ICC meeting they discussed red, yellow and green cards but not the real meat, you got to get rid of toss and let visitors decided what they want to do, these series are not going to get competitive if cards

If that happens, we'll start losing in UAE also.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Of Course he will, since this is a dead rubber.

Ah, so you're hoping for 3-0 humilation rather than 2-0.

 

[abughio]

updates???

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan will need to make a courageous first innings declaration (i.e. behind Aus first innings score) if they want to win this match.
assuming there are no collapses in this innings and we avoid the follow on

 

[QalandarFan]

Is today's play gonna be washed out?

 

[QalandarFan]

Here is the weather forecast for Sydney.

[FlickedOffHips]

Is today's play gonna be washed out?

forecast is just for morning showers, i believe.

After lunch at the earliest it seems like now.

 

[Imy]

Lahoriyah can I ask you why do you want to play India when they dont want to play. Its like you go to a neighbors house and they slap you in the face and call your family every name under the sun and you go back there again.

Yaar. India ko haraane se hi hum sakoon ata hai..

Rahi baat khelne ki tu main yah thodi kah rah hon ke unke ghar jaake khelo.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

The pitch will be inspected at 1:10 PM Sydney time.

 

[Belawal2014]

1.00pm Another update: The covers are off and the umpires will inspect conditions at 1.10pm, 10 minutes from now.

 

[Abdullah719]

Play will start in ~23 mins if no more rain. 68 overs left in the day.

 

[world cup captain]

I love how we get to bat under more favorable bowling conditions.

 

[Belawal2014]

1.15pm Good news. We're looking at a 1.40pm start. 68 overs to be played today. Tea will be at 4.10 pm, and we can go till 6.30 pm

 

[Junaids]

I love how we get to bat under more favorable bowling conditions.

They are more favourable BATTING conditions: the ball is going to get very wet very quickly.

So no reverse and 40 more overs with an old, damp ball.

 

[Abdullah719]

Covers back on.

 

[world cup captain]

1.38pmAll set then for Sydney's annual pink day. Quite clear overhead. Australia's seamers could not ask for better conditions to bowl in. Oops, just as I say that the covers are coming back on.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

What is going on Why does it rain so much whenever we are about to resume from a relatively better position

 

[Idrees1990]

Ball is going to seam and swing after the rain. Starc at 150k is impossible to play with these conditions. Test for these two.

 

[world cup captain]

Could someone tell me in how long will it be 2:30 in Sydney? Thanks

 

[Abdullah719]

Could someone tell me in how long will it be 2:30 in Sydney? Thanks

40 mins.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

How can it be a test and yet be impossible at the same time ???

 

[Idrees1990]

How can it be a test and yet be impossible at the same time ???

Clever

 

[Sarfarazian92]

No wonder cricket is a sport limited to a few countries.

 

[world cup captain]

How can it be a test and yet be impossible at the same time ???

Poor guy is worried.

 

[street cricketer]

Just imagine we hadn't choked at the MCG we might have got a drawn series.

Sad.

How?

 

[Kianig89]

hopefully this gets washed out absolutely pathetic display from our team in all three depts. collapsed in Brisbane Choked in Melbourne we only have ourselves to blame

 

[Kianig89]

How?

he is assuming we would had won there gets 1-1 this one rained out draw

 

[Arham_PakFan]

on the first ball of the day.

 

[Abdul]

Legend starts with a four off the first ball of the day.

 

[QalandarFan]

Edged, didn't carry!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Aussie PM in the commentary box.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Have a feeling it's umpires call and it is!

 

[QalandarFan]

Umpires Call!

 

[Abdul]

Azhar survives.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Omg what a close call, good review

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hazelwood has been the bogeyman for Pak, struggled against him the most.

 

[world cup captain]

Got away with that one!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Why is handscomb keeping?Where is Wade?

 

[QalandarFan]

Haha The Aussie PM doesn't understand the umpires call! Classical!

 

[MMHS]

Close call - Azhar is a bit lucky, after missing a straight ball. I just wonder, do PAK players knock before start of a session? So many times I have seen set batsmen losing wicket to soft dismissals just after a break. Azhar is in his form of his life - if he survives this spell, can get another double here; almost missed a straight one & survived on umpire's call!!!!!!!!

 

[Syed1]

Aj hi innings defeat na hojai




Don't kill me for that comment


Ok I'll leave

 

[Ellipsism]

Why is handscomb keeping?Where is Wade?

ill

 

[QalandarFan]

Man I have to wake up at 6 in the morning but I don't want to go to sleep!

 

[Archer]

Why is handscomb keeping?Where is Wade?

Commies said that Wade was feeling sick, he kept for 3-4 overs before going off the field.

 

[Rayyman]

Man I have to wake up at 6 in the morning but I don't want to go to sleep!

Haha. I have break so I will watch the whole match.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Nice behind drive from Younis. Never seen someone troll the slip and gully cordon more.

 

[Abdullah719]

One slip for YK?

 

[QalandarFan]

Haha. I have break so I will watch the whole match.

Man our break ended 2 days ago! I have to go to sleep, I'll go after YK gets a hundred.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

for Azhar.

 

[QalandarFan]

Shot from Azhar

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bach gaya!Just short

 

[shariqnoor]

Now had Misbah been the captain and the ball went thriugh second slip like that, people here would've murdered Misbah saying how defensive a captain he is after having 500+ on the board. But since its a **** captain, no criticism on Smith.

 

[Abdul]

Nice shot from Azhar.

 

[QalandarFan]

I thought that was out!

 

[Abdullah719]

Yaar don't give it away now.

 

[Rayyman]

Are they still having tea break?

 

[Archer]

Azhar dropped by Cartwright

 

[shariqnoor]

The word censored is the urdu equivalent on 'white'. Didn't know that is censored.

 

[QalandarFan]

Are they still having tea break?

Most probably, they never skip breaks.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Aussie commies believe Azhar is the new Test captain.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Azhar gets the record.
