[Random Aussie]

Time to heap some more pain on.

expect us to delay it till the end of the day with negative bowling.

 

[germanboy]

Pak is down at the moment in cricket

the u19 are also down 89 runs without wicket in 10 overs by the WI chasing down 298

 

[Romali_rotti]

Seriously this is ridiculous a partnership now touching 350... I wonder where those lost souls are who were defending Mohammed Asif as a thinking bowler.... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[germanboy]

Yousufs fielding is improving

well your Aussies commies were saying.. he is a very very good bowler.. so

 

[germanboy]

what a shot

 

[iZeeshan]

I wonder how much Aamer hates himself right now.

How can you possibly argue otherwise.

He can't do everything all the time. Give it up mate. You guys would kill to have a bowler even half his calibre.

 

[germanboy]

OOOOOOOOOOOO KANERIA yeh tune kya kiya..

 

[Romali_rotti]

well your Aussies commies were saying.. he is a very very good bowler.. so

No one is doubting he is a very good bowler.. Thinking part is the issue here...

 

[germanboy]

well you can clearly see that the dec is about to come

 

[germanboy]

yaar thinking part is down because of our captain see the fielding.. he cant do anything at the moment with such a bad thinking

 

[Shezada]

typical pak...if we couldnt beat aussies with the likes of wasim, saqlain, waqar, shoaib, inzamam, youhana and afridi in the team back in the days, how will we beat them now?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Dont you understand what I am saying ? I already acknowledged he is a great bowler, hell yeah we would love to have him in our side any day... He is still not a thinking bowler though...

 

[saadjhussain]

Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring

 

[Shezada]

 

[Random Aussie]

Highest ever partnership against Pakistan
Highest ever 4th wicket partnership on Aussie soil
8th highest partnership of Australia

3/412 this is a pretty epic beating now....perhaps Ponting should blow a kiss at Aamer when he declares.

 

[Shezada]

ponting on 190

 

[germanboy]

yaar result is one thing but i want.. Malik and Moyo to give some kind of fight back

 

[Sledger]

Punter should declare after his double, with rain being forecast and all.

 

[Random Aussie]

I don't think they get what you mean RR.

I agree with you in that Asif has a method to get wickets - that method is to get them bowled, LBW or caught behind by the seaming or swinging ball. He really doesn't have any other ideas on how to get someone out, he just sticks to plan A.

Plan A is pretty good by the way but there is no Plan B.

 

[germanboy]

Aus take batting Power play as Kaneria bowl

 

[Random Aussie]

196 not out....350 run stand

 

[the SHA]

Pak will struggle to avoid the follow-on on this pitch. Its a pancake!

 

[Sledger]

I'm expecting to give Ponting a bit of a gift here.

 

[Sledger]

Punter the hunter on strike, 196*.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This outside off stuff is rubbish. It's not the Pakistan way this negative bs. Shame on yousuf.

Pitch is sooooo flat but I still think the most we can expect is 300.

 

[germanboy]

out

 

[Cover Drive]

Clarke gone for 166

 

[Sledger]

bowls MC Hammerer.

 

[161]

thats about the only way dani is gonna get a wicket .. when the batsman moves over and just lets the ball hit the stumps !

 

[Cover Drive]

I just turned on the match and this over is the first over I am watching since day 2 has started.

 

[germanboy]

Well All the Aussies fan out there...

its a fact if there is good parntership your thinking level goes down as oposition and you almost wait for a mistake as Clark did right now

 

[Shezada]

clarke stood there to give kaneria his wicket cause he felt sorry for his 124/0

 

[McBoom]

Haven't seen this kind of negative cricket on the 2nd day of a test match ever.

Kaneria just picked up his mandatory wicket after conceding a million runs.

Thats what it looked like from here.

 

[Cover Drive]

North on strike

 

[McBoom]

Michael Bingle just had one of those moments where he leaves a ball going straight on to the stumps.

 

[qaiser]

Anybody else make 100 or not..we can count on Kaneria to get 150 plus. He is our most consistent player

 

[Afridi_Fan]

God Damn Clarke.

 

[germanboy]

I just turned on the match and this over is the first over I am watching since day 2 has started.

where were you yaar

 

[Cover Drive]

Very good ball

 

[Sledger]

North is next on Yousuf's 'Get players into form' list.

 

[Cover Drive]

Appeal but turned down

 

[germanboy]

Rudi turn down a plumb decision

 

[Cover Drive]

Nice shot but all safe

 

[Random Aussie]

Marcus North, fighting for his spot, is on a hiding to nothing here....

 

[strongman123]

o man hopfully they declare soon..this is really painful

 

[Shezada]

got bat on it

 

[Cover Drive]

Pointing on strike

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

I just turned on the match and this over is the first over I am watching since day 2 has started.

YAar you should have come earlier!!!

how are you btw??

 

[Cover Drive]

where were you yaar

Uhmm I am not sure either why I didn't turn the match on loll

 

[Cover Drive]

Pointing takes a single and moves on 199*

 

[Shezada]

ponting on strike!!!!!!will he get his 200?

 

[the SHA]

Yousuf gives up far to soon. His comfort zone is clearly to defend and prevent runs at all costs. But when you have one of the best bowling attacks going round, you should have the confidence to allow them to concede the odd boundary in exchange for a wicket. He rarely seems willing to risk such a venture.

 

[strongman123]

can we stop a double ton???

 

[saadjhussain]

why haven't they showed the hawkeye to that LBW? it hit on the back leg and looked out

 

[Cover Drive]

YAar you should have come earlier!!!

how are you btw??

Yaar was a bit busy so couldn't really come

Anyways, Alhamdulilah I am fine. How about yourself?

 

[Cover Drive]

why haven't they showed the hawkeye to that LBW? it hit on the back leg and looked out

There you go

 

[saadjhussain]

never mind

 

[Cover Drive]

NOt out. Correct decision by Rudi

 

[germanboy]

Ponting will not get his 200 InschAllah

 

[Cover Drive]

Pressure on North by Pakistan? loll

 

[Cover Drive]
