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

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez is playing as a spinner

 

[Random Aussie]

Was always going to play given the injuries and expected heat. We need someone who can bowl a lot of overs. Siddle can do that.

It was a question, I didn't know the team.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Lol.Hafeez opening and Azhar to follow.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lower order has potential with bat

 

[Enforcer]

Don't think Australia can win this. ODIs and Tests are different formats. My prediction is either draw or a win for pakistan

 

[Strike Rate]

as if talha bowls 150 kph with good swing
he's just a trundler

others can't even touch 140 at least he can bowl 140+

 

[Savak]

Talha was a trundler against SL.

 

[Ikball]

All set for a great day of Test cricket. Pak's 4 Frontline bowlers have 22 wkts while Aus top 4 have 564 wkts between them via [MENTION=2099]Cricket[/MENTION]_U

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would need assistance from pitch , they would like to see Aussies spinners bowl on day 1

 

[Aman]

A lot of cracks in the pitch.

 

[m.shah]

All four bowlers that are playing today have nit played in sl last series

 

[ramizq1]

I have a scary feeling that Lyon will be a handful for the Pakistani bat on this pitch.

 

[Mir jibran]

others can't even touch 140 at least he can bowl 140+

he very rarely touched 140 in last test series he was bowling in early 130's with no swing

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan made mistake of playing hafeez as opener

 

[imshally81]

My Prediction ... 12/2

 

[IAJ]

Good team. Waqar must have been impressed by Imran Khan.

 

[imshally81]

Pakistan made mistake of playing hafeez as opener

What is the other choice ??

 

[Justcrazy]

Johnson with red cherry

 

[IAJ]

My Prediction ... 12/2

Tumharey munh mein keedhe

 

[imshally81]

If Pak will bat whole day ... they will win for sure...

 

[OZGOD]

Why are the stands empty?

Play him as a third specialist spinner at number 7

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Expect Zulfiqar to rip through Australia on day 4/5. Of course AUS might bundle out Pakistan cheaply and then bat just once. In which case Lyon and O Keefe will be the ones destroying Pakistan.

 

[ramizq1]

This will be more a test for Shehzad (huge expectations from him) than Hafeez.

 

[Ikball]

Pak should score 450-500 to make match out of it.

 

[imshally81]

Tumharey munh mein keedhe

hehhehehe..... Hopefully i will wrong....

 

[Justcrazy]

Johson 147 km / hr already

 

[imshally81]

147.8 kph uff....

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Its the UAE. Nobody cares about test cricket there.

 

[ramizq1]

Johno will easily reach 152-53 km/h with this kind of start.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies would target at least 3 wickets before lunch

Working day, Usually Pakistanis there are labourers, cant afford to miss site/office for match.

 

[m.shah]

147.8kph from mitch

 

[imshally81]

M Hafeez survived

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Johnson vs hafeez

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

 

[Yatoo]

Will target 6 wickets before lunch

 

[OZGOD]

Hafeez looked plumb from Jonno

[Mir jibran]

jhonson bowling with fire

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Johnson has to be used in 3-4 over spells here.

 

[Strike Rate]

Wasted review you clueless professor

 

[imshally81]

Johno will easily reach 152-53 km/h with this kind of start.

No.. it will become 144/145 very soon

 

[Aman]

LMAO Hafeez )

 

[OZGOD]

Wasted desperation review

[Justcrazy]

is that out ?

 

[ekpakistani]

Haha out. Seems like wasted review?

 

[Aman]

That was plumb.

Why on earth would you refer it?

 

[Savak]

My word, what a cracker from Johnson. Wasim Akram reincarnation.

 

[Aman]

Haha out. Seems like wasted review?

Definitely, he must have known he never got anywhere near the ball.

 

[Amir]

Selfish Hafeez. No Haris.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pathetic wastage here

 

[NZcricketfan]

Wasted review to add salt to the wound

 

[OZGOD]

Its the UAE. Nobody cares about test cricket there.

You think some people will come in the arvo?

[m.shah]

Hafeez

 

[imshally81]

as expected

 

[Aman]

Hafeez is a genuine tailender when batting in the top order.

 

[ramizq1]

Said it a 1000 times and I think everyone knew Hafeez was a walking wicket.

 

[Indiafan]

Hafeez ALWAYS wastes a review. Always

 

[yasir]

Why the hell you will play Hafeez????

[Mir jibran]

and they say hafeez is good for test cricket
hahahaha

 

[WNC]

That was plumb.

Why on earth would you refer it?

Because he's Hafeez. He's one of the most selfish players to come out of Pakistan. He's like that kid in your neighbourhood who thinks he can never be wrong about anything and nothing is his fault.

Complete waste.

 

[ekpakistani]

Why is hafeez playing in a test match

 

[Convict]

hahahahha

Bang bang

edit: he referred?

hahahhahaha

 

[Ikball]

Hafeez always takes review, no matter what

 

[Yatoo]

Anda. Egg. Hahahahhahahahahhahaa. Duck ka anda

 

[Aman]

Pathetic wastage here

One of the worst I've seen.

If he knew he didn't hit it, why review?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan made mistake of playing hafeez as opener

I was right , Hafeez is no use as an opener , he proves me right again and again

 

[Sunny786]

What a ball. Stupid review from Hafeez though. Didn't Shehzad tell him it's plumb?

 

[m.shah]

Azhar and johnson now

 

[imshally81]

Azhar Ali The Almost Opener

 

[ekpakistani]

I think we will see australia bat today

 

[Suleiman]

LOL WHAT A BALL. First over and a peach of a delivery.

Selfish of professor to use the review. Predicted he would flop. Extra off spinner would've done wonders...

 

[iafzal]

all going per plan

 

[Aman]

hahahahha

Bang bang

edit: he referred?

hahahhahaha

Set him up with a poor short ball lol

 

[Excellence]

It was truely a pathetic decision to include Hafeez. This decision has backfired big time now, knew it

 

[Silly Point]

Hafeez is toast against swing.

 

[chill79]

Shahzad suggested it's out but Hafeez was insisting to take the review. Dead rubber

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez always takes review, no matter what

Like Afridi

 

[Aman]

How long will Azhar and Shehzad last against MJ?

 

[Silly Point]

Fawad, Haris, Babar Azam all must be laughing somewhere.

But Hafeez will come handy with the ball.
