Pakistan A v Australians | Tour Match | 16/10/2014 | Sharjah l Day 2

[Ahson8]

Karamat Ali to Doolan, no run, goes for a frontfoot defense but was deceived by the spin

So he can actually spin the ball. Finally an attacking option.

I've seen the guy bowl. He's very talented, spins the ball both ways; his googly in particular is really impressive, but the best thing about him is his control. Many legspinners bowl those longhops very frequently, but this guy has really good control and doesn't give away many runs; can easily play all three formats.

 

[Xoib]

Sadaf could have easilyn played over Attaullah mind boggling to play a chucker

 

[Ahson8]

5 ball over ?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Ehsan Adil got the main man. Which will be a very confidence boosting one.

need an attacking legspinner. Int cricketers have forgotten how to play quality legspin as they don't come across it much.

This post combined with the tweets ref. above make me hopeful for future of Pak cricket.

Paul Radley@PaulRadley26mKaramat Ali given two overs before tea vs Australia, first time Steve Smith looks hassled all day. The bloke is the future of spin bowling.

 

[Xoib]

none of the bowlers have made a major claim for the test spot lets hope Karamat picks a few and who knows he might suddenly be in reckoning.

 

[Ahson8]

Yaar someone needs to break this partnership now

 

[Xoib]

Smith retired out hope Karamat is not replaced and gets the chance to bowl at the new batsman.

 

[Ahson8]

Steven Smith retired out.

 

[Xoib]

why is chucker Ataullah bowling more then Adil.

 

[Ahson8]

Adil should get another go soon...

 

[Ahson8]

OUT. Ataullah gets Marsh.

 

[bforme]

Mitchell 'Sobers' Marsh bowled.

 

[bforme]

I think Steven Smith will be highest run scorer in the upcoming series.

 

[Pete Rose]

No video highlights so far. They had prelim he highlights yesterday

 

[MRSN]

No video highlights so far. They had prelim he highlights yesterday

they will be available in some time. At the end of days play I guess..

 

[Aman]

It'll be interesting to see who comes in next.

I think Aus will stick with bowlers from hereon and leave Maxwell out as they want to get the players who will be playing in the Tests a look in.

[MRSN]

6 down Australia..

 

[Aman]

6 down Australia..

Smith and Doolan retired out lol...

 

[Firebreaker]

Should not play Ata Ullah at any cost Adil is better than him

 

[Xoib]

Raza has been a huge let down. Karamat has spun the ball Raza has rarely moved it a centimeter.

 

[Firebreaker]

Why Yasir Shah is not playing?

 

[MRSN]

Smith and Doolan retired out lol...

I know lol..was just having fun.

 

[Xoib]

Karamat troubling Mitch.

 

[MRSN]

Raza has been a huge let down. Karamat has spun the ball Raza has rarely moved it a centimeter.

I've said this before as well that he isn't a big spinner of the ball..May be that can work in ODIs and T20s but I don't think in tests you can survive without some good spin.

 

[Firebreaker]

Karamat troubling Mitch.

Are you watching the match?

 

[MRSN]

Karamat Ali to Johnson, no run, frontfoot defense but misses the ball,loud appeal not out says the umpire

 

[Fastandfurious]

How tall is Karamat?

 

[IAJ]

Strange/Stupid decision by PCB to play Ataullah if he was reported for chucking. I read he was cleared at NCA but he has changed his action in no time?
Should have given Sadaf Hussain a go in this match.

 

[Firebreaker]

How tall is Karamat?

He is very small

 

[Fastandfurious]

Now they are just slogging.

yeah can't believe they wwasted a spot on a chucker when someone like Sad would have benefited more.

 

[Xoib]

unfortunately none of the selected bowlers has made a strong case for selection.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Gone. Karamat gets a wicket.

 

[Xoib]

Karamat gets Mitch was a matter of time he was all over him.

 

[Xoib]

Karamat has totally outbowled Raza here.

 

[MRSN]

Karamat Ali to Johnson, OUT, goes to the backfoot and gets trapped right infront of the stumps

MG Johnson lbw b Karamat Ali 7 (15b 0x4 1x6) SR: 46.66

 

[Fastandfurious]

unfortunately none of the selected bowlers has made a strong case for selection.

Can't really judge without watching. Some could be bowling well, just not getting wickets.

 

[Xoib]

O keefe survives a loud appeal karamat on fire hitting pads of both right and left handers positive sign

 

[Xoib]

if we can give Aus a targe of 200 odd it would be a fun little last day.

 

[Ahson8]

Good to see Karamat take a wicket, but why has Ehsan bowled just 6 overs ?

 

[todfod 11]

Raza has been a huge let down. Karamat has spun the ball Raza has rarely moved it a centimeter.

Where u watching it ?

 

[Ahson8]

Take the new ball and bowl Ehsan & Rahat !!

 

[Xoib]

Take the new ball and bowl Ehsan & Rahat !!

they are behind the over rate hence Karmat has got such an extended spell.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Raza gets a wicket, O'Keefe gone.

 

[Ahson8]

they are behind the over rate hence Karmat has got such an extended spell.

Oh. Ehsan could still have bowled though. He just bowls medium-pace really

 

[Ahson8]

Wth!! Adil still not bowling. Is he injured ?

 

[Convict]

Pretty happy with this. Two batsman had good performances and retired out. Doolan is well disciplined and will hopefully do well here and provide a partner for Warner, Clarke and Smith.

Smith's in very good form and has adapted to the conditions nicely.

Bit concerned by Marsh but you can't really tell if he's out of form or not.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

unless something drastic happens this innings sets in stone what I wanted : rahat and ehsan to be the pacers

 

[Fastandfurious]

Rahat proving once again the toothless bowler he is, was lucky to get Hughes.

I hope Warner plays. He's an exciting Test player to watch, seeing as though our openers are so lethargic in scoring runs, I'll be more than happy seeing Warner do so.

Any news about his fitness?

Also Rahat Ali is such an awful bowler. I'd rather we play Ehsan as an opening bowler and the rest being spinners. That's how bad he is.

 

[Ahson8]

Last over of the day.

 

[Ahson8]

Adil bowled only 6 overs. Hope he isn't injured or something...

 

[Ahson8]

We end up with a 34 run lead...

The news over here suggesting that Warner missing this was just a precaution and that he is almost certain to play in the tests

 

[Pete Rose]

Cricinfo match report has me mentioned Rahat being more impressive amongst the fast men.

 

[OmaIR1]

lol@ everyone taking 1 wicket each... sums up pakistan selection dilemmas! who to pick? your guess is as good as mine!
