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

[ViciousMachine]

Oh no.... jinxed and he's gone.

Great change of pace by MJ though.

 

[MRSN]

soft dismissal..

 

[JibranAnsari]

And azhar departs. Lazy drive.

 

[IAJ]

Rameez Raja's curse!

 

[Mainul]

why?

I have decided not to support Pak anymore unless justice prevails (i want to see at least 2 out of Fawad,Haris and U Akmal in the test side).

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

damn

 

[imshally81]

 

[MRSN]

Babay e tuk tuk out there in the middle.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It wasnt change in pace.. rathar change of length.

 

[aukhan]

Rameez

 

[imshally81]

Finally !!!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Throws his wicket away. Lol. what a Joke!!!

 

[Adil_94]

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

If Pakistan can get 400 plus a big if we have a very good chance of winning it. The Aussies will either smash us or get bundled out cheaply. They dont know how to dig in and play the long game in these conditions apart from Clarke and Smith But it is still a long way to go. And as i say this Azhar throws it away

 

[Asif321]

gaya Azhar

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

not azhar ..... i dont want misbah to come in this time. i am so nervous about him.

 

[Adil_94]

Rameez the eternal Jinx does it again. Azhar was ruling the roost stupid saying. And another one bites the dust.

 

[Yatoo]

Azhar Ali wastes another start. Another fifty not converted. Another slow innings that needed acceleration.

 

[shaaik]

Oh God ! I just said it that Azhar has this habit of getting out after scoring 50... He needed to carry on today ...Sad

[m.shah]

Axhar does it again

 

[imshally81]

Anyways... Good Knock by Azhar Ali.... should be in ODI....

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I pray for a 100 partnership for these two!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

But don't worry , your place is secured for the entire series and the next series even if you score under 10 in every other innings

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah to score a ton.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I hope Misbah goes all T20 misbah on spinners!

 

[Adil_94]

Azhar Ali looks so unnatural driving. he will never average above 40 in Test Cricket. He just has a very good temperament

 

[Mir jibran]

azhar what have u done

 

[Adil_94]

Come on Misbah show your class

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar always does this.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Misbah to score a ton.

Insha' Allah. Aap ke moon main Ghee Shakar aur halwe aur mithayan aur chocolate aur jo aap chahain.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's the problem when u score so slowly. When you are out, the team suffers big time.

 

[Ahson8]

Should open with Shehzad. Even if he averages 35+, it'll be better than some of the openers we have tried recently. Haris should slot in at 3.

 

[Excellence]

Anyways... Good Knock by Azhar Ali.... should be in ODI....

Okay make him captain. He's just made 50 odd runs with 32 sir.How does that justify his selection.in ODI

 

[Ikball]

Misbah kay anay se pehlay qaumi tarana parah jana chahiye <3

 

[Ahson8]

Azhar always does this.

I know. And it's poor for us normally. But I think it can be justified today as we were 9/2. But he should have gone on and made a big one.

 

[aukhan]

Insha' Allah. Aap ke moon main Ghee Shakar aur halwe aur mithayan aur chocolate aur jo aap chahain.

hahah

 

[Markhor]

That's the problem when u score so slowly. When you are out, the team suffers big time.

The lesson seems to be you live by the tuk-tuk.....you die by the tuk-tuk ?

Anyway need a big partnership now, and Younis to go onto a hundred. Pressure right back on Pakistan.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

That's the problem when u score so slowly. When you are out, the team suffers big time.

it is 100 for 3 instead of 20 for 3 ........ good enough for me. if we can go to 200 for 3, our middle order has done the job.

 

[Adil_94]

Should open with Shehzad. Even if he averages 35+, it'll be better than some of the openers we have tried recently. Haris should slot in at 3.

He will be a much better option than Hafeez. Who is clueless against any decent new ball attack. He wont get the big tons but at least he can see off the shine more often than not. Not convinced by Shehzad either as a Test match opener quality pacers will expose him. Can just hope he works on his weakness.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Misbah...

 

[imshally81]

Okay make him captain. He's just made 50 odd runs with 32 sir.How does that justify his selection.in ODI

Captain... No... we already have Asad Shafiq

 

[Convict]

Be nice if someone else got wickets

 

[Markhor]

Shot. Misbah relieves a bit of the pressure.

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah 6 off 9

New approach?!?!?!?

 

[imshally81]

 

[Adil_94]

Misbah looking very shaky against Lyon.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

misbah hit him for a six .........

 

[the Great Khan]

we've hit my first target of 120 but have lost an extra wicket. Need to get to 150-3 by the end of the first hour of next session. Need to be 177-180-3 by end of play. Ideally should try to be 200-210 plus.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah striking at 50.

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah is in some mood. the ball is old and the pitch is flat. now is the time to score runs.

 

[Ahson8]

Misbah 6 off 9

New approach?!?!?!?

He's always more aggressive in tests than in ODIs..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Anyone think YK will make a ton today?

 

[saiyan0312]

We have a platform here. need younis to score big while others bat around him and sarfraz to score a useful 50 with shafiq.

 

[MRSN]

Tea. 125/3.

 

[aukhan]

We are targeting Msibah

 

[aukhan]

Anyone think YK will make a ton today?

INSHALLAH he will.

 

[saiyan0312]

TEA even so far. need to stay 3 down at the end to make the day ours.

 

[Excellence]

LyontoMisbah-ul-Haq, FOUR,pummeled over emid-on! He usually does that after a few million dots,but he wants the spread those close-infieldersand
after million dots hahaha

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Johnson looks the only one to take wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should not lose any more wickets today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar Ali looks so unnatural driving. he will never average above 40 in Test Cricket. He just has a very good temperament

Asad and azhar wont average 40 plus. Thats their threshold.

 

[Adil_94]

Asad and azhar wont average 40 plus. Thats their threshold.

Asad could if he added consistency to his game. He has more talent than Azhar but i think Asads absolute Maximum is 45. Most likely he will be a 38-40 avg player.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to open up a bit this session .

 

[MRSN]

Pakistan don't need to panic here.

Misbah and YK at the crease.

Asad and Sarfraz to bat.

Followed by a long batting tail.

We should put up a 300+ here easily.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad could if he added consistency to his game. He has more talent than Azhar but i think Asads absolute Maximum is 45. Most likely he will be a 38-40 avg player.

Asad is a bit better than Azhar but still very limited by World standards. Pakistan do not have a single player who can win games.

 

[Justcrazy]

The problem with such slow batting is , the moment you loose couple of wickets , you will be in deep hole.Any other team would have been 200 by now.

 

[Adil_94]

Asad is a bit better than Azhar but still very limited by World standards. Pakistan do not have a single player who can win games.

YK is our only potentially match winning Test Batsman. And nowadays he only performs once a series. We just have to hope that everyone chips in. Not rely on individual brilliance.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to attack Marsh here , that would disturb Aussies plans.

 

[Justcrazy]

He can save games , but not win them any more.

 

[Justcrazy]

Is Pakistan Tail capable of getting fifty runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Siddle back , Aussies making right changes , no spin now.

 

[Adil_94]

Marsh getting some reverse here

 

[shaaik]

He can save games , but not win them any more.

Common I think he has the best 50- 100 conversion rate in world cricket and that speaks volumes about his match winning ability, it's just that he doesn't get much support from the rest of his mates ...

[Sam18696]

How is Misbah doing?

 

[Justcrazy]

If Pakistan can keep rotating strike , They will force Clarke to make unwanted changes.

 

[Jabo]

lol Clarke

Younis is good , but not a player whom opposition would be tensed about.

 

[Justcrazy]

He is same always

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK is doing his one a series performance. Expect him to go hiding after this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

When is O'keefe back on
