Pakistan v Australia | 1st Test | 22/10/2014 | Dubai (DSC) l Day 1

[Mir jibran]

I thought only beigh was playing.
How is Mudasir? How good is he?

mudasir gujri he's a good bowler he had improved a lot in last years ranjhi

 

[ask_analyse_act]

50 for azhar well played young man... where are the ppers who wants to remove him for UA...can UA do this, he would better chicken it out...good that they persisted azhar ali and asad shafiq... UA is not the one who made promise with the bat when he came to the int'l cricket... he is now more of a slogger, taken the bad route of afridi's instead he should have taken somebody like ABDV's...

 

[akamaka]

100 for pakistan

 

[ask_analyse_act]

100 comes up for pakistan

keep going guys make it big and bat out the aussies,,,

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

now wait for younis to hit fifty and then third session will be interesting .......

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

how is the pitch playing by the way? we have three spinners and if we have to win they must perform and i dont expect much from rahat ali.

 

[the Great Khan]

He is 30 already. Playing for last 4 years now. When is he going to mature. Don't we all critise Akmal for his lack of brain. When is azhar going to come of the age. At 40?after 150 test?

age is different to experience.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

50 for some guy who half of PP thinks is a dead set hack. Well played.

Maybe put Warner in at silly point and let fire with the sledge at YK. Need to break up this zen batting.

because the pakistani fans love only those who can hit 6s and 4s only... they dont like batsmen scoring with 1's and 2's .... may be they should switch watching from cricket to baseball..

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

turning the heat on !!!!!

 

[qamar84]

back to back four and 100 patnershup

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

100 partnership

 

[m.shah]

110/2

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

YK turning it on.......................3rd session would be damn interesting

 

[imshally81]

Last 10 overs : 39/0 RR 3.90

 

[IAJ]

Lovely batting. Keep it up boys.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

now is the make and break time .....

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good knock from AA so far, need to keep concentration up and he should be aiming for a 100 here today

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

another 50 runs from these two together ..... and it will make settle pakistan innings.

 

[Yatoo]

age is different to experience.

He has played in England, South Africa, UAE, Bangladesh, Srilanka.
35 test matches.
How much more matches before he is experienced enough?

 

[Zeshan547]

Be patient pak fans I think pak need atleast 350 plus in 1st inning, and actually slower the run rate better for pak chances of winning the match because the wicket will detoriate and further it will help pak bowlers, so pak approach is spot on as for as they keep wickets in hand.

 

[imshally81]

From Cricinfo "Mitch is warming up... "

Hmm.. chances of Reverse swing ??

 

[Nikhil_cric]

YK and Azhar looking good now. Extra pacer was needed on this track.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar is class.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Mitch is warming up

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I was so nervous when I saw Pakistan lost two wickets early.

 

[Bullet Drive]

These two must carry on... they can't throw wicket away now...

 

[MRSN]

RR improved to 2.27..

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Azhar is class.

He might not be the a world calss batsman but he surely works hard. shafiq on the other hand is also good and hardworking but a bit more flamboyant.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We need to bat 5 sessions .. this is only second.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Games nicely balanced after we gave away 1st two wickets!

 

[MRSN]

Azhar Ali is set. Time to get out.

 

[imshally81]

New ball will due after 30 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

I wonder where all AA haters are now those calling for him to be dropped?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

These two must carry on... they can't throw wicket away now...

Hopefully Yes .... as I said, it is make and break time. and more critically misbah is next in, less pressure on him the better. we need a big one from the captain.

 

[Yatoo]

Pressure is on Australia due to lack of wickets falling. Using Mitch for short short spells is a gamble. If he takes wickets, then the other bowlers do the job of containing. If he fails to get wickets, then there is added pressure on other Bowlers. They need to bowl more overs, as Mitch won't bowl too many, and they not only need to contain but take wickets.

 

[Mir jibran]

Bryden: "So far this has been an excellent
exhibition of how to absorb pressure... if these two
are still together in 50 runs time, then the pressure
will have reversed and the Aussies will start to feel
the heat a little..."

 

[MRSN]

Azhar haters must be eating humble pies today..

 

[imshally81]

Australian Spin bowling attack is clueless....

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Azhar Ali is set. Time to get out.

well tea break is coming ....

 

[Mir jibran]

these two need to bat out 90 overs with the score around 260/270

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hate Johnsons spells

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

He might not be the a world calss batsman but he surely works hard. shafiq on the other hand is also good and hardworking but a bit more flamboyant.

nothing beats hard work............................Pakistan really needs blokes like these who are willing to put the hard hours into their batting rather than being flamboyant and going out in 10 (15)

 

[imshally81]

Azhar ali Should be in ODI team with same the batting postion.. anyone ??

 

[aukhan]

Azhar haters must be eating humble pies today..

What's your favourite flavour?

 

[imshally81]

MJ on ...

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

johnson vs azhar !!!!

 

[Yatoo]

Hate Johnsons spells

This one we will dominate IA

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I am just hoping since the morning that azhar dispatches johnson for six on the leg side.

 

[imshally81]

Just 137 kph ..

 

[MRSN]

Johnson can't break Azhar's great defense gate.

 

[IAJ]

MJ setting him by bowling wide and then a straight one.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We are so unlucky to have no Wahab/Junaid

And how the hell can Haris not make this.

 

[Mainul]

Hoping for a collapse

 

[Bullet Drive]

What time is tea?

 

[IAJ]

Hoping for a collapse

why?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

another 15-20 runs and then it is time to attack ......... doesnt matter if the decide to slog a bit.

 

[Mir jibran]

We are so unlucky to have no Wahab/Junaid

And how the hell can Haris not make this.

coz we have a world class allrounder in the name of Mohammad hafeez

 

[IAJ]

What time is tea?

in 25 minutes time

 

[imshally81]

Hoping for a collapse

R u Australian ????

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

in about 9-10 overs ..... is it standard? 30 overs in session or so.

 

[IAJ]

50 up for younis!

 

[MarkCooper]

Hoping for a crushing defeat for the loud mouth, uncouth Aussies.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

50 for younis

 

[aukhan]

50

50 more and the Legend will become the only Pakistani player to make a ton against every opposition in test.

 

[imshally81]

8 maiden overs out of 12 for MJ....

 

[imshally81]

:50 for YK

 

[Mir jibran]

legend gets his 50

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK is the best in the world at facing spin.

 

[Adil_94]

Very good from YK.

 

[m.shah]

btw Pak A has made 164 runs allout

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope YK makes 50 more and gets that ton!

 

[Bullet Drive]

btw Pak A has made 164 runs allout

playing with 5 batsman.

 

[IAJ]

Local times:

1s session: 10:00 - 12:00
2nd session: 12:40 - 14:40
3rd session: 15:00 - 17:00

 

[MRSN]

Azhar needs to pull down the ground that short stuff.

 

[IAJ]

oh no Rameez praising Azhar Ali hopfully he will not jinx him.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

come on hit him for four at least .... frustrate him

 

[Lords]

Seniors to rescue. Good recovery by Pakistan, but keep an eye on RR unless you want a draw.

 

[MRSN]

Great temperament these two guys have. Loving it. MJ would be frustrated.

 

[shaaik]

Azhar Ali in Nervous 60s...Have seen him throwing it away many a times ...

Ramiz is an absolute clown. His words dont even make sense. Has very poor sentence structure. And he is the biggest Jinx on our team
