I do hope these batsmen are aware that this is a 5 day test and not a 10 day test.

Anyhow they seem to want to bat only once, Aussies beware.
 
YK needs to tighten up here to many loose shots and hes likely to throw it away any minute!
 
Its not inside information, its pretty well known. Where the line between prepping the ball and illegally tampering with it is basically dependent on whether it gets caught on camera or not.

You are not getting the point. Had Pakistan being reversing it so early, allegations of tampering would have started to come from all corners of world, even if it was all done legally. All I'm saying is that since it's Aussies that are reversing it, legally or illegally, none will speak a word.
 
Azhar does all the hard work but very rarely he cashes in on his hardwork.
 
Hopefully Younis gets a ton here and becomes the only Pakistani to score a century against every opposition in test.

No offence but your players dont have the best reputation you know.
 
SOK really has two good deliveries, one that doesn't spin and one that doesn't spin the wrong way. Amazing varieties to have.
 
MJ has already bowled 11 overs. How many more will he bowl today? Another 5 overs or even more?
 
Junaid Khan, the way he bowled before going through a bad patch, would have been good to have on this wicket with all this reverse swing.

based on the initial allegations of tampering. If they were dealt with more pragmatically maybe this "reputation" wouldn't have followed them around. As for fixing well that's another issue and should not be connected. although it does.
 
Azhar Ali needs to up his game. Petty 30's and 40's from 150 balls won't do.
 
Both batsmen should just try and rotate strike more so that scoreboard is moving regularly and that way we arent building pressure on ourselves.
 
Younis looks out of touch never seen him look so scratchy in a knock where he has played close to 100 balls usually by this time he is sailing.
 
Both batsmen have got in here so need to cash in and bat big!
 
if they keep going the way they are they should be 177-2 by end of play. If they up the ante they should get to 200. depends on wickets.

must play it session by session.
 
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.
 
Azhar Ali has such a bad conversion rate. 5 centuries and 15 half centuries.
On top of that, he sees off the new ball as our openers usually fail, does the hard work of blocking and taking off the shine of new ball but then gifts away his wicket.
If we check his record against SA in SA, he did the hard work, facing an average of 72 balls per innings. But then he scored only at an average of 22
 
Im not sure about this short bursts for jonno theory. Aussies really looking a bit short in the bowling dept. Not that we still cant get out of course.

lack of experience. Has still only played 35 tests. will come with more matches.
 
Steven Smith's picture at the top of the page in the PakPassion banner looks EVIL. Can mods change it?
 
If these two can get us to 150 that would be nice. Shafiq and Sarfraz can take it from there..
 
need to get the score above 120 for no more losses in this session. then can push on in the final session.

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?
 
We need to do something, maybe start sledging, or fielders throw the ball at the batsman. This is just grinding us down.
 
Let them reach 100 partnership and their fifties .... may be then it will second day of test and the will score of edges. just a stupid joke.
we need runs on the board ..... thats most important.
 
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.
 
Well played Azhar. Now keep it going and score a big one please.
