Australia vs Pakistan | 3rd test | Hobart | Day 3- 16th Jan 2010

[Shezada]

now if aamer or malik get out, we are screwed. wickets gonna drop fast with only malik the capable run taker.

 

[Gollum]

That was quick. Next!

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan need to watch videos of Katich.

Credit to Ponting for excellent captaincy there.

 

[germanboy]

) )

:akmal

Akmal the most lucky guy at the moment

 

[sillyfan]

Butt out.

Ok i will not say anything then! )

 

[iHammad]

:aamir in

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That's our choice in tests right now... A batsman who can keep a bit or a keeper who can bat a bit.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

waah ...when i was earlier here before ..it was empty..and now look at the forum..all the well renowned punters are here

 

[kingusama92]

He needed to do something special with the bat to solidfy his spot. This probably ends his chances of playing over Akmal.

 

[Gollum]

Katich on course for a 5fer )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

As I said, I was not feeling good about Katich with the ball.

 

[bantu]

Bring back Kamran?

) ) )

 

[germanboy]

now.. new ball or still katich?

 

[iHammad]

215/6

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

insaaniyat kahan ho mere dost

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

dont worry guys, aamer will stuck in.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Malik shud look to score at every oppurtunity and get the deficit down to manageable size!!

 

[Sledger]

:aamir can't play the new ball.

 

[TalhaSyed]

First we make Guptill look like Warne now Katich is the new Murli

 

[qaiser]

latest mission of Pakistan after they failed with hopeless North is to turn Katich into the best spinner ever born

 

[insaaniyat]

[Sledger]

[iHammad]

How many overs till tea?

 

[germanboy]

[saadjhussain]

malik should just hit out now, knock off as many runs as he can because we're guaranteed to follow on

 

[iHammad]

4444 for

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

[Eagle_Eye]

[WithLoveFromCanada]

salam where did u go? Welcome back though

WS..i went away to get some stufff.

Chaand babu hits a FOUR!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Katich's bowling average is 29 and that of Hatritz is 31.

 

[saeed-sohail]

OK, here's the plan. You go to bed and try to dream that Malik scores a triple century to give us a first innings lead

You don't manufacture your dreams if that was the case I would spend my life in katrina,s arms.

 

[germanboy]

PAKISTAN GONE as MALIK GONE

 

[Eagle_Eye]

malik gone

 

[saj001]

gone malik

 

[iHammad]

Malik gone

 

[Big Mac]

That's a shocking shot from Malik

 

[Shezada]

Lol,

 

[Sledger]

100 to avoid follow on?! That is a mountain.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

OuT!

 

[Eagle_Eye]

House of cards crumbling!!!

 

[saadjhussain]

chand's gone )

 

[Sledger]

lolz.

 

[germanboy]

so guys no kind of tension now about the new ball i belive

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Chaand babu OUT!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good Lord.


) ) ) )

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Misbah made 60+ at melbourne too so Maliks is not out of the woods yet

 

[bantu]

Katich on course for a 5fer )

) )
Oh wait hauritz spoiling the party.......... Malik goes........

 

[saadjhussain]

Tea is about 40 mins away I think.

we'll follow on before that, no worries )

 

[Sledger]

Time for the Gul gourmet followed by the Asif and Danish special.

 

[Big Mac]

You don't manufacture your dreams if that was the case I would spend my life in katrina,s arms.

Google lucid dreaming. Malik's wicket is entirely your fault for not having a quick nap and conjuring a triple century for him, hope you're happy now we're going to collapse

 

[Gollum]

Tick tock, its a matter of time now. On the positive side, we will see the centurian once again soon

 

[Shezada]

hahahhahahhahahhahaha

so now whats the plan...

 

[tauseefm]

the key.

is talay ki?

 

[qaiser]

Malik gone

Malik Mafia has to give enough time to Australia with rain in forecast to bulldoze Pakistan

 

[sillyfan]

all out by tea!

 

[Kriketer]

Salman Butt can get his second century today.

 

[Sledger]

Shocking shot that.

 

[germanboy]

guys very very little chance of draw now

 

[saadjhussain]

hahahhahahhahahhahaha

so now whats the plan...

has to wake up first

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Well Butt and Farhat should get ready to bat again. Lead of 250 will be more than enough.

 

[ahmed16]

Poor shot but at least he went trying to hit out with the tail. Something for which he has been heavily criticised, but is Amer the tail?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

well Sledger we have a chance to repeat Kolkatta '01.

Australia should enforce the follow on and let the project kolkatta 01 begin - these are lines along which yousuf is thinking i bet

 

[Sledger]

Aamer needs to make 70 and Gul needs to do a 50 because the other 2 are good for max of 5 between them.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Butt will be batting again soon

 

[germanboy]

Aamir is better runner then Butt

 

[Shezada]

guys how does a follow on work? do we have to erase there deficit all over again? or do we have to only erase the 300 remaining runs and add on more? how does it work? someone please explain :S

 

[insaaniyat]

So now that Shoab has scored 58, he is set to be selected for next for 3-4 test series.

 

[iHammad]

223/7

 

[Kriketer]

hahahhahahhahahhahaha

so now whats the plan...

plan is for tail-enders to score 400 more runs and then get Australia out within 100 runs so that we can win this game by an inning. Will be good for our pride too.

 

[Gollum]

Brilliant! They will all fall to spin and after the follow on the quicks can come with the new ball nice and fresh!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

So now that Shoab has scored 58, he is set to be selected for next for 3-4 test series.

typical Ijaz Ahmed innings, only difference is that Ijaz would have hit a hundred to make it completely sure.

 

[Sledger]

Poor shot but at least he went trying to hit out with the tail. Something for which he has been heavily criticised, but is Amer the tail?

No he could have played normally, Aamer can bat a bit and even Gul. With Danish and Asif he should have gone all out attack.

Pakistan flop after Butt century is the cricindia headline.

 

[saadjhussain]

Aamir is better runner then Butt

better batsman too, aamer edged it down, butt provided catching practice )

 

[qaiser]

Aamer needs to make 70 and Gul needs to do a 50 because the other 2 are good for max of 5 between them.

and what makes you think good for nothing Gul can make 50

 

[Eagle_Eye]

guys how does a follow on work? do we have to erase there deficit all over again? or do we have to only erase the 300 remaining runs and add on more? how does it work? someone please explain :S

The difference in score must be less than 200. For eaxmple Pakistan needs 320 to save follow on
