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

[aukhan]

Misbah looks positive today.

 

[Bullet Drive]

These two must bat till we reach 250

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK getting stuck.... he needs to find his touch

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not Understand why Clarke rarely bowls ? He was a decent part timer.

 

[Adil_94]

Misbah superb strike rate

 

[shaaik]

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

I Wd disagree ... If, the Aussies would have discussed any batsman in the meeting before the start of the play it would be Younis khan

Is Pakistan Tail capable of getting fifty runs

Yasir & Zulfiqar have definitely strengthened our tail.

Rahat scored some quick runs vs ZIM once, but he's not reliable. Dunno about Imran Khan.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hoping for spin to come on!

Imran Khan can't bat.

 

[Bullet Drive]

45 more to get. Come on YK!

 

[Bullet Drive]

I have noticed YK is hardly speaking to Misbah today...

 

[Justcrazy]

Marsh doing a good job with the ball , exactly what Lehman wanted.

 

[Justcrazy]

Imran Khan can't bat.

I expect Zulfi and Yaseer to slog a few.

 

[Zahid87]

Scene is set for a big score from Misbah....100 in the offing

 

[Zahid87]

Issues with his back.

 

[Random Aussie]

Ah Younis, you can get out now. It's cool with me.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch does not look bad ,there are no demons in it so far. Will it turn for Pakistan Spinners , that is the big question.

 

[Bullet Drive]

These guys need to learn how to play the pull shot. Need to ask Shehzad & Umar Akmal for advice.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Please Clarke just bring on the spinners!

 

[Bullet Drive]

41 away for YK!

 

[Bullet Drive]

I just hope this ton doesn't mean YK will be in for WC.

 

[Justcrazy]

Siddle is a big hearted bowler , never gives up , keeps coming back at you.

 

[Justcrazy]

I just hope this ton doesn't mean YK will be in for WC.

Both are different formats.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good batting by Misbah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Both are different formats.

U know how PCB think.

 

[ViciousMachine]

U know how PCB think.

PCB and think? Good joke!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dunno why but I can sense a wicket..

 

[Adil_94]

Clarke's captaincy is entertaining to watch.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would hope some turn and uneven bounce as the game goes on

 

[Bullet Drive]

Next time spin is on I expect YK to go wild

 

[Justcrazy]

PCB and think? Good joke!!!

PCB is like salman in kick

" mujhe mat socho , dil mein aata huin , dimag mein nahi "

 

[Justcrazy]

Dunno why but I can sense a wicket..

Because Pakistan is batting

 

[Justcrazy]

Siddle is a solid team man , no mug with the bat either.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Should be last over for siddle. Spinners and marsh can bowl till the new ball arrives.

 

[Justcrazy]

Will Johnson have a go soon , I expect to see him here on .

 

[Bullet Drive]

Is this ball gonna reverse all day

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid would take a 5-fer on this pitch. Its reversing miles.

 

[the Great Khan]

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

Just playing aboard in varied environs adds to experience but that's not all test cricket is about. Its about tactics, mental pressure, building an innings etc.

 

[Justcrazy]

Should be last over for siddle. Spinners and marsh can bowl till the new ball arrives.

That is the period Pakistan need to capatilize

 

[MRSN]

Aussies are well behind overrate here. Some good overs of spin are coming up.

 

[the Great Khan]

need to get to 150-3. ball moving slightly but nothing too worrying.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Told ya

 

[ViciousMachine]

4444444444444444 !!!!!!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Junaid would take a 5-fer on this pitch. Its reversing miles.

He needs to earn his place with performance , not reputation.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This was quite a good toss to win for Pakistan. A good batting wicket and so far they have done quite well. YK should score a ton followed by some sarfraz fireworks hopefully.

 

[aukhan]

 

[Arsal_AK]

yk

 

[saiyan0312]

classy shot.youngsters should look at that when dealing with spin.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Rameez can't shut up today. I want to hear Dean Jones talk.

 

[ViciousMachine]

need to get to 150-3. ball moving slightly but nothing too worrying.

Agreed! So far so good, hope YK and Misbah can play out the day, or maybe just lose one of them.

 

[Bullet Drive]

35 runs to the ton!

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis needs to stay calm , not get too excited , one mistake is enough for a batsman.

 

[RehanG]

These guys need to learn how to play the pull shot. Need to ask Shehzad & Umar Akmal for advice.

hahahaha this really made me laugh..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That is the period Pakistan need to capatilize

Yes. Misbah and YK should really cash in here.

 

[saiyan0312]

When younis khan leaves our ability to play spin will diminish unless haris turn outs to be a spin hitter.

 

[Arsal_AK]

He needs to earn his place with performance , not reputation.

5fer in the last innings he bowled.

 

[hk031992]

He needs to earn his place with performance , not reputation.

He has earned his place with performance

 

[Arsal_AK]

When younis khan leaves our ability to play spin will diminish unless haris turn outs to be a spin hitter.

Haris,Sarfraz and Shafiq are very good against spin esp Sarfraz.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah maiden

 

[Bullet Drive]

Just spoken to Sadaf Hussain who tells me his pace is now 136-138.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wow Misbah ..... torture

 

[Barragan]

I can see Zulfi and Yasir turning it on this pitch and causing trouble to the Aussie batsmen.

Also, the Aussie batsmen should be thanking the team management for not playing talha, the super "phassst" bowler would have got Australia out for 99.

Anyway, surprised to see Imran Khan ahead of Ehsan Adil, who is a much better prospect and had a good debut against SA, claiming the wickets of Smith and Faf.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK gets single first ball.

Misbah 5 dots.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lyon should be very very dangerous on day 3 4

 

[Adil_94]

Just spoken to Sadaf Hussain who tells me his pace is now 136-138.

Did you speak to Imran Khan too ?

 

[Yatoo]

Another yongsta beauty on whatsapp?

[Amjid Javed]

ffs misbah dont create pressure for no reason by just blocking, this is where in games pakistan always give initative away to the oppostion.

 

[JibranAnsari]

:4 courtesy misfield

 

[Bullet Drive]

29 to get.

 

[Bullet Drive]

ffs misbah dont create pressure for no reason by just blocking, this is where in games pakistan always give initative away to the oppostion.

Exactly.

Misbah is losing it here.

 

[aukhan]

1 more

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbahs first run after 18 balls

 

[Bullet Drive]

28 more for YK.

 

[Adil_94]

ffs misbah dont create pressure for no reason by just blocking, this is where in games pakistan always give initative away to the oppostion.

I dont even get it Misbah started positively now he has gone into a shell. Shouldn't it be the other way around

 

[aukhan]

Just spoken to Sadaf Hussain who tells me his pace is now 136-138.

that's really good to hear.

 

[Mr Consistent]

in the air but safe

 

[JibranAnsari]

^no pressure on us.

 

[MRSN]

Misbah is looking clueless. Badly out of form.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Much better over, finally milking the bowling!

 

[saiyan0312]

Younis looking good against spin there. misbah has massive problem with playing spin on the leg side.
