Dominant Pakistan finish Day 2 of the 2nd Test on 144/2, 281 runs ahead of Australia

And another. Getting that ball to talk.
 
Bring back Abbas after Lunch to clean up Starc to complete his fiver.
 
Where are all the naysayers from yesterday gone? [MENTION=136411]Shafi[/MENTION]
 
Its already clear that run scoring is hard if your going just try to play at a sedate pace, all batsmen who have scored decently in this match have been positive.

Thats something our batsmen need to do in the 2nd inns.

Lets hope we wrap up things quickly after lunch.
 
I still see Australia Tail End score 70-80 runs and Pakistan will get around 100 odd runs lead.

I think Pakistan's batting batting will struggle in 2nd Innings on this pitch, they might get bowled out for 160-170 however a target of 270 + on this wicket looks difficult to chase.
 
Abbas needs to be on straight after lunch to wrap things up.
 
Brilliant captaincy today from Sarfaraz. He stopped the singles which allowed the spinners to settle into good lone and lengths.
Ek match me itna improvement !!
 
Runs starting to come easily of the spinners, time to get Abbas on!

come on captain saab!
 
Yes Rameez, we know it's Hafeez's birthday, don't have to mention it everytime the ball goes to him.
 
Absolutely ridiculous captaincy by Sarfaraz! You have Australia on the ropes and you have your field back?! they are milking us!
 
Don't have access to Star Gold whilst at work, so can anyone summarize whether the current state of the game is down to brilliance from Abbas, a helpful pitch (i.e. not slow and dead), or poor Australian batting?

Would hazard a guess that it is a mixture of all three factors...but its a bit sad watching Australia, who ever since I started watching the game, were known for showing a dogged grit and determination, along with an iron will to win, if nothing else, reduced to this.
 
Now i get why Yasir has only 3 wickets in 5 innings in this domestic season. Nothing bowling.

Time to change the bowler Sarfi.

This is what happens when you have a negative reactive captain, rather then proactive :facepalm:
 
Yasirs been awful again most of this inns with ball! get Abbas on!
 
Pakistan should have been aiming for 150+ lead yet we are gifting cheap runs now!
 
Starc is the danger man as he has the ability to smash the bowling apart. If he stays in, he will quickly wipe off the deficit. Sarfraz again relaxing after having the opposition on the ropes. He does this time and time again, believing that the tail will roll over for you.
 
Much needed wicket, Yasir finally does something useful, go touch on ball onto stumps.

128/8
 
Like I said yesterday 300 is a decent score on this wicket, However AUS have batted really badly on this and abbas have bowled beautifully.
 
Even with that wicket we need Abbas on, Sarfraz almost every game goes through motions in field at sumpoint.
 
Cant understand Sarfi's love for Yasir, even if Abbas is tired and he if doesnt want 2 offies in Hafeez and Bilal bowling at same time may be try Hamza or Haris.
 
Yo :inzi
Kal bhi dekha tha... :yk

Bhai bas bowling change krni chaheye Yasir ki, baqi its the usual daily micro analysis dose of hate for Sarfraz. Yesterday Paine also pushed a man back when Sarfraz and Fakhar counter attacked. You cant have 5 fielders with the bat when bowlers are doing nothing and batsmen easily hitting 4s and 6.
 
Well let’s hope Bilal comes on from the other end otherwise taking him out of the attack and keeping Yasir on is abit baffling.
 
Pakistan ZINDABAD!

Brilliant effort all round!!

Time to start putting some big numbers on the scoreboard now.
