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

[MoinHaroon]

I like to see Azhar and misbah play together, then there will be 20 maidens in a row, like what they did against SA

 

[Aman]

Pakistan top order isn't the challenge, it's the middle order - YK, Misbah and Shafiq.

 

[MoinHaroon]

If Pakistan loss 2-0 in test do you guys think Misbah is gone?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Dubai pitch always offers something in the first session, we need to play it safe. However, hafeez and shehzad are just pathetic test openers.

 

[IAJ]

Siddle is the danger man here.

 

[imshally81]

7/2

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The mystery master O'Keefe is licking his lips

He is indeed.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Why did Taufeeq umar did not play

Khurrum Manzoor is still better than Shehzad...

 

[iRfaN_LA]

YK is dancing. I hope he settles and score a big one.

I am ok with that....

 

[Aman]

Wasting deliveries well outside off.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies have tied down Pakistan here

 

[IAJ]

Patience is the key, just get a partnership going.

 

[saiyan0312]

younis khans experience working for him so far

 

[m.shah]

7/2

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Captain Cool has done well to include Hafeez, Rahat instead of Harris and Ehasan Adil . Legend !!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is good pace from siddle.

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs have completely dried up.

 

[Varun]

If Pakistan want to win test series, they must somehow find a way to have their bats score 400 at least one innings a test match.

7/2 is not a good start to get there.

 

[Aman]

Spin on now.

 

[Zeshan547]

Typical pakistani start, 7/2 in 6 overs, mighty run rate of 1.1

 

[OZGOD]

Mystery spinner SOK is on

What is the other choice ??

Pakistan cricket has suffered so much, no internstional cricket at home, fixing allegations. But nothing has damaged Pakistan more than this quote mentioned above. This quote is an excuse to take non-deserving ppl into the team and justify bad performers as though there is no one left to play cricket in Pakistan.

Even a club side of Pakistan is better than these senior hacks batting rite now. They will be insulted by the media and made a laughing stock alongwith the board who kept these jokers.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Look at this Misbah, this is how you captain, pressure on and he is keeping is bowler fresh

 

[desi_launda]

No one complaining about run rate?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pretty happy with the teams progress under the In Form captain Misbah and his Tactics .

Hopefully Aussies can hand over them a whitewash once again.

 

[OZGOD]

YK desperate to get off strike

Leave it to Pakistan to make a mess of a decent batting strip. They have the power to bring life even into the dullest pitches.

 

[Sam18696]

Abay run lo

 

[Mir jibran]

Azhar needs to step up now and score a big big hundered
he's a senior now

 

[MoinHaroon]

Anyone you scores fast Misbah sacks him

 

[Justcrazy]

O'Keefe on now.

 

[OZGOD]

Good line from Mystery Spinner SOK bowling to his field

[Sam18696]

Hmmm.Will we make 50?

 

[MoinHaroon]

Just rotate strike atleast

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Just saw 1st over by SOK, trust me when I say this MJ would have to bowl a lot of overs now in this game

 

[OZGOD]

Might be high

[Red Devil]

That looked close lol

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Khurrum Manzoor is still better than Shehzad...

u ppl have short term memory loss...

 

[Vayuu]

Siddle pace is up clicking 140 ' s.

 

[Varun]

Talha: "Safe to say that Hafeez is a not a morning person?"

 

[IAJ]

Amazing field-setting. No easy runs on offer.

 

[Indiafan]

Look at this Misbah, this is how you captain, pressure on and he is keeping is bowler fresh

If Misbah had done that, he would have been blamed for taking pressure off

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies want Younis , they know that will break pakistan

Bowling a bit too full? Or were the batsmen getting to it on the full?

 

[Vayuu]

It's a dry surface so u need to attack stumps and that's where siddle is handy.

 

[Indiafan]

Just saw 1st over by SOK, trust me when I say this MJ would have to bowl a lot of overs now in this game

He is just setting the batsmen up, wait and watch

 

[KarachiKing]

WOW

I fear sth like Sharjah of 2002

 

[OZGOD]

YK getting frustrated

[Varun]

Run Rate is a dreadful 1.14.

No boundaries after the first hour.

 

[yasir]

Why they did not play Harris ?
In uae fast bowling is hardly that effective, you need solid middle order. Hafeez is tail under, just put the whole team under pressure. When will Misbah and co learn the basic of cricket??

Azhar and Shezad can survive new ball. You got to invest more in middle order in UAE... Why we are playing Hafeez? To make already weak batting worse???

I will be happy to see Misbah, Hafeez gone... 100s from youngsters completely wasted!!!

Bowling full but bowling the right line to the field

[IAJ]

Younis has played for so long, but still doesnt look comfartable.

 

[Sam18696]

I smell a wicket..

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar does not inspire confidence when he is batting

 

[imshally81]

Single by Azhar Ali...

 

[Sam18696]

They are getting frustrated so something stupid is about to happen..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Clarke should give short spells to siddle as well. Get Lyon in next.

 

[imshally81]

Why Clarke introduce O'Keefe so early.... ?????

 

[Justcrazy]

10 / 2

9 overs

 

[OZGOD]

Hers the weak link in the bowling coming up

Just to settle his nerves I reckon

Atleast we reached double figures

[imshally81]

why Marsh ???

 

[Sam18696]

No bowling attack has a weak link when facing Pakistan.

 

[Vayuu]

His bowling stats look good .

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Atleast the selectors will now realize that it is not easy to score a hundred against Australia...

It is like watching the school boys playing against the senior college boys... very funny to watch...

 

[akamaka]

Marsh already out of breath, looks like conditions are hard

 

[imshally81]

Oh Come on... Clark missed the trick here... he should persisted with MJ

 

[Convict]

You don't bowl your main weapon into the ground

Bowling full but bowling the right line to the field


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah but what's that going to do? He could mix up the lengths to try get a wicket.

 

[Aman]

Marsh offers nothing with the ball, never has looked like a threat when I've seen him with ball in hand.

 

[Aman]

Johnson back

 

[Savak]

Too many shots to the fielders. Not sure if this outstanding bowling, outstanding fielding or just some predictable batting by our batsmen as usual.
