Pakistan v Australia | 1st Test | 24/10/2014 | Dubai (DSC) l Day 3

[Justcrazy]

Good ball to end the over.

 

[saiyan0312]

rahat should have tried the yorker. Dont think they will try the pull anymore.

 

[Justcrazy]

All out

 

[MRSN]

Aussies all out. Yasir picks up his 3rd.

 

[saiyan0312]

gone o keef. he slog sweeps it and its aired and gone.

 

[Ikball]

Another wickt before lead go bleow 150 mark. Please...!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to bat well now.

 

[Firebreaker]

End of innings

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Aus tail sure can bat, have to give that to them. Lyon's batting avg is higher than Steyn's. Don't tell Steyn that though.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Wohoo!! Great job Pak !!!

As per Ten sports commentary, Pak has never lost to Aus when we won the toss, batted first, and have taken a lead.

 

[dashing_man]

somone needs to make a gif of Misbah taking the catch )

 

[akamaka]

Messi gets most wickets in the innings

 

[Sam18696]

Huge lead Just need 250 and game is ours.

 

[Ikball]

Good lead, Now pakistan should bat good, 50/0 at stumps will be a great pressure total for AUS.

 

[Ikball]

Who will open instead of Hafeez? Asad??

 

[Yatoo]

Hope Hafeez doesn't come out. Let azhar show he can open

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Now we need to ensure we don't lose any wickets today. To get even 50 on the board without losing a wicket would be an excellent day. Just need to bat till tea tomorrow get them 350-400 to win and declare.

 

[steelo green]

Azhar plays like tailender

Masood is a tail ender. I don't like Azhar but he's much better than Masood.

 

[Red Devil]

151 runs lead!

 

[m.shah]

Good effort by bowlers

 

[Amjid Javed]

14/15 overs to bat tonight if we can get to 40 runs without losing a wicket then il be happy, we need to bat solidly and need too score 200 atleast in 2nd inns here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good effort by bowlers

Indeed, an excellent effort by our rookie attack.

 

[Ikball]

Hafeez may not be allowed to bat today according to rules??

 

[saiyan0312]

pakistan will bat 15 and if we add some late strategies we can bat less. : P

 

[saiyan0312]

Alright guys. score another 300 tomorrow and we got this test in the bag with a minimum draw atleast.

 

[Sam18696]

Azhar and Shehzad are opening

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

We need to be careful here ............. no matter what, I hope our batting doesnt collapse.
slow and steady ...... though someone in the top order should play a faster innings

 

[Yatoo]

I'm having the first test Vs Srilanka feeling.
Younis has already played. We know he never scores twice in a test.

 

[dashing_man]

Azhar Ali opening

 

[Asif321]

great No hafeez this time

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Hope for the best.

 

[Ikball]

Azhar Ali is opening the innings with Selfie boy.

 

[Sam18696]

Looks like Hafeez and Babar may not bat..

 

[Ikball]

YK and Misbah to score 100's in thins innings, I have this feeling.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Nervous and heart beating ......

 

[MRSN]

Any update on Hafeez?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

If pakistan can go through to the end of business with out losing a wicket .... kudos.

 

[Parmeetkumar]

Need to be cautious till stumps and accelerate tomorrow.
A lead of around 400 till tea should be enough to wipe off the aussies.

 

[Ikball]

I'm having the first test Vs Srilanka feeling.
Younis has already played. We know he never scores twice in a test.

Did it many times, I remember his 260+ and 90 vs India. But he did it many many times.

 

[Ikball]

100%

Pakistan's win percentage against Australia when they bat first and secure a 150+ lead. This has happened 3 times in the past.

Cricinfo

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

How is the pitch playing?

 

[saiyan0312]

Did it many times, I remember his 260+ and 90 vs India. But he did it many many times.

he has done that but he doesnt have two consecutive hundred in the same test however recently he has been a one inning series player. Although for our sake i hope he produces the goods again.

 

[Justcrazy]

13 overs to survive.

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar opening only second time in test ever.

 

[Sam18696]

I'm getting nervous here.

RAMIZ SHUT UP YAR

 

[Justcrazy]

How is the pitch playing?

Its still good. No demons

 

[Justcrazy]

Edged , but short.

 

[Justcrazy]

No runs still.

 

[Justcrazy]

Finally runs on board.

 

[Ikball]

13 overs remaining, We have to score runs. going wicketless but with 10-15 runs on board will be a poor effort.

 

[dashing_man]

biggest tuk tuk pair at the crease

 

[Fastandfurious]

Pak needs to get rid of Ramiz. I have to mute it every time he comes on.

 

[dashing_man]

that nearly got Azhar out

 

[Sam18696]

Nervous

 

[saiyan0312]

I would be happy if we dont lose a wicket here

 

[Swanny]

One good parternship & it game over for aus

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to survive today.

 

[dashing_man]

Pak needs to get rid of Ramiz. I have to mute it every time he comes on.

I have to mute every time we have a match against india

 

[saiyan0312]

lyon on here

 

[MRSN]

Lyon so early in the attack..

 

[dashing_man]

Lyon in

 

[Sam18696]

Pak batting always makes me nervous.

 

[saiyan0312]

great turn for lyon. will be dangerous as the day progresses

 

[dashing_man]

Azha Ali off the mark

 

[MRSN]

Lyon bowling with a really good line. It's a trap set for Ahmed Shehzad and I'm afraid he will fell for it.

 

[Swanny]

Pitch still looks good for batting tbh.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 154 runs.

 

[Anchorman]

Cracking drive by Azhar.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good shot.

 

[saiyan0312]

width offered and azhar drives it with ease.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It's a bit of a waste of the new ball but these two aren't good players of spin so quite a good idea for the Aussies.

 

[saiyan0312]

more. again width offered and azhar easily hits it for four with an a slight angle. Used the pace of the bowler.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four more.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good ball , almost out.

 

[Anchorman]

Back to back boundaries for Azhar. Really well played. Seems to have found his timing.

 

[saiyan0312]

yorker straight up. nearly inside edges it. hope the management can see that azhar at opening is better and should open in the second test with hafeez gone.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lyon on now.

 

[m.shah]

4

 

[saiyan0312]

Nearly got out there azhar. didnt move his feet to play the spin and nearly got caught by the gully and silly midon

 

[yasir]

Blessing in disguises for Pakistan, what it will take to make him opener and bring Harris in teem??

I am always of the opinion when playing in Asia, play extra solid middle order and drop a opener, while playing on green play extra opener.

Harris is much better middle order than Hafeez, who after playing 4-6 years without any contest cannot stay more than an over on road against top bowlers. Why you would invest in such a player?????
