Pakistan v Australia | 1st Test | 23/10/2014 | Dubai (DSC) l Day 2

[Bullet Drive]

Maybe Imran will be better to right handers.

 

[Kianig89]

Any update on

 

[Bullet Drive]

No threat when pacers are on.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Maybe Imran will be better to right handers.

Will be interesting to see that. I think he's doing ok, usually making batsman play. We just need a little extra bounce or slight movement and hopefully get lucky with an edge.

 

[MRSN]

Hafeez fulfilling his role as a container :

hahahaha:genious

 

[Barragan]

I like the lengths Imran is hitting.

He is constantly pitching it up and trying to extract some movement, hence I think he'll be a huge success in places like Eng and SA.

Rahat can learn a lot from this guy!

 

[Amjid Javed]

warner is at ease against shortball need to try and dry up his run scoring

 

[IAJ]

I think the some of the posters need to be more patient than the team.

When Pakistan made 450+ you should understand this is a very good batting track. And against Aussies you wont get easy wickets. You have to work really hard.

Let the boys bowl in peace.

 

[Amjid Javed]

poor ball from hafeez needs to string dots against warner here

 

[IAJ]

Rogers is 7 from 47 balls. Don't see many Aussies crying here.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Off his boot?

They have useless batsmen for these conditions. Get one, and rest will follow in panic.

 

[Sam18696]

Lousy review

Yup, people need to stop being unrealistic. Aus wont fold for 50 all out.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Lousy review

I do not think it was a review. I think they were just checking if the ball went off the boot w/o touching the ground. At least that is what it looked like on tv, I did not see Misbah ask for a review.

 

[Amjid Javed]

AUS 28/0 after 12 overs

 

[ViciousMachine]

Yes, so "useless" that they absolutely embarrassed us in the 2020 and swept us in all 3 ODIs pretty badly. I am sure they will panic if one wicket falls....

 

[Bullet Drive]

Please take this bowler off.

 

[the Great Khan]

this is going to be a long match. They will also bat well. and then attack us hard.

It was because Pakistani batsmen threw matches away chasing nothing targets. Right now, Pakistan has a very very good score to keep the pressure on.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Embarassing to see a bowler of this calibre open the bowling for Pakistan.

 

[Amjid Javed]

This is becoming a battle of attrition as was expected here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Embarassing to see a bowler of this calibre open the bowling for Pakistan.

Well since Asif/amirs bans we havent had luxury of brilliant fast bowlers... so quit whinging and enjoy the game

 

[Bullet Drive]

I hope Sadaf is called for next game.

 

[the Great Khan]

Imran khan is just trundling at the moment.

 

[Red Devil]

Dropped!

 

[IAJ]

dropped

 

[Adil_94]

Imran Khan models himself on Gul. Yeah you can tell.

 

[Red Devil]

Should've been taken.

 

[MRSN]

that put down by YK

 

[ViciousMachine]

Oh my. Missed chance.

 

[Haseeb 22]

Babar needs to bowl quicker so the ball reaches the slips

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK continues to drop catches.

 

[akamaka]

 

[MRSN]

You just can't drop a catch on this pitch.

 

[Haseeb 22]

Awful ball

 

[Bullet Drive]

How badly will that cost us.

 

[Bullet Drive]

46-0

AUS bossing it.

 

[Mr Consistent]

drinks break

 

[Thivagar]

OH WOW. Look how much Sarfraz has improved. Hard work and heart on fire is what makes the Himalayas stand below your hips.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need wickets here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Drinks.

 

[MRSN]

Pakistan needs a breakthrough.

 

[Justcrazy]

There is just no input from Waqar

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner continues to impress. Relentless approach.

 

[akamaka]

bowlers just need to be patient

 

[MRSN]

another tough chance..Needs to grab these.

 

[Sam18696]

Need a wicket

 

[aukhan]

Missing Ajmal here..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to keep attackung here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor captaincy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies employing sweep well here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

6th over we had a long off to Warner

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wanna see Yasir Shah now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fifty partnership up , steady start.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Poor captaincy.

In other news, Ottawa (Canada) was attacked yesterday, and Bullet Drive went on to blame Misbah.

 

[Electron]

50 run partnership

Pakistani bowlers need to up their game on this rank-turner

 

[Justcrazy]

Still no sign of Yasir.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fourrrrr

Warner dominating here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

by warner

 

[the Great Khan]

ajmal would have been deadly here. Need to be patient but we should have had one wicket at least. Long day ahead tomorrow!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

If Hafeez cannot get these guys out there is no place for him in our test team.

 

[Bullet Drive]

ajmal would have been deadly here. Need to be patient but we should have had one wicket at least. Long day ahead tomorrow!!

YK drop will cost us

 

[ViciousMachine]

ajmal would have been deadly here. Need to be patient but we should have had one wicket at least. Long day ahead tomorrow!!

yup

 

[Adil_94]

50 run partnership

Pakistani bowlers need to up their game on this rank-turner

It isn't a rank turner. Just has a bit of grip and spin.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yasir should be tried here.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is easy for Aussies here.

 

[Adil_94]

Hafeez isnt a test standard frontline spinner.

 

[Electron]

It isn't a rank turner. Just has a bit of grip and spin.

Ohk, I am not watching the match. [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] told me that the pitch was a rank-turner and impossible to bat on. I guess he was exaggerating.

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner playing a gem here.

 

[Sam18696]

This pitch looks flat

 

[aukhan]

Poor field placing there.

 

[Mr Consistent]

3 runs for warner

 

[the Great Khan]

Ohk, I am not watching the match. [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] told me that the pitch was a rank-turner and impossible to bat on. I guess he was exaggerating.

he was. Flat pitch should be easy to make runs once yu get in.

 

[steelo green]

The drop will haunt us.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan fielders looking frustrated.

 

[Sam18696]

So Imran Khan was named after Imran Khan

 

[MRSN]

Pakpassion mentioned by the other commentator.

 

[the Great Khan]

warner pounding babar. Making him look ordinary. Need a wicket.
