Pakistan v Australia | 1st Test | 25/10/2014 | Dubai (DSC) l Day 4

[Dr_Bassim]

Younis hundred waiting will be the most selfish decision ever.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This is smart.

Grind the Aussie bowlers into the dust.

Looks like Clarke has given up and is preserving the pacers.

It won't be so smart if Aussie escape due to this approach.

One, Pakistan batted slowly after being completely on top today.
Two, you don't know whether you can dismiss Aussies in one day. Usually in 5th day track, you can but not sure about this pitch.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Younis hundred waiting will be the most selfish decision ever.

So Younis is going to tuk tuk his way to a century?

Good goly,.

Aussies must be so happy.

The need of the hour is BLIND SLOGGING.

 

[saiyan0312]

400 is enough, we shouldn't waste any more time now.

They are waiting for younis century. i am hundred percent sure

 

[Ikball]

They should declare now, otherwise we shall not win this one.

 

[Sam18696]

I guess they are waiting for yk to make 100. Or else he might get mad

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] did you read this?

Clarke has a bad record in 4th innings (averages 35) which is surprising for a guy who is supposed to be a gun vs spin.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

We have seriously one of the worst bowling attack in our history bowling here so nothing wrong in being careful.

Agree. 400 + is not unchaseable for Ausies with almost 4 sessions

 

[Asif321]

they wont declare until Yk scores century otherwise it will b another controversy

 

[Firebreaker]

This is the worst Australian team ever

 

[akamaka]

Misbah should declare when YK is on 90

 

[saiyan0312]

For God's sake...

If they are looking for centuries, forget about winning.

The lead is way above any chaseable target. they are looking for centuries.

 

[Sam18696]

These two are going well so let them play until the 80th over.

 

[Sam18696]

by yk

 

[Justcrazy]

Four more ...

 

[Red Devil]

They are waiting for younis century. i am hundred percent sure

YK needs to get a move on then

just as I type this.

 

[saiyan0312]

lets do this fast younis and declare. on 83 now,

 

[Sam18696]

Jaldi karo yk

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Shehzad can try this shot once he plays more than 40 tests. Till that he shouldn't go for it

 

[saiyan0312]

Ideally sarfraz should take a single to give younis as much strike as possible

 

[Aman]

It won't be so smart if Aussie escape due to this approach.

One, Pakistan batted slowly after being completely on top today.
Two, you don't know whether you can dismiss Aussies in one day. Usually in 5th day track, you can but not sure about this pitch.

When was the last time Australia batted more than 100 overs on a day 4-5 in the SC?

 

[Firebreaker]

Younis playing some pathetic shots

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

The lead is way above any chaseable target. they are looking for centuries.

The pityh is getting flatter and Warner threat cannot be ignored.

That guy is in the form of his life.

Pak should have batted faster earlier.

Now they need to ramp it up real big.

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis 16 away from hundred.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Why are we still batting....

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis playing some pathetic shots

He has to.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

When was the last time Australia batted more than 100 overs on a day 4-5 in the SC?

The question is - Is this a typical Day 4 or 5 track.

That's the issue.

In general, no question about it.

 

[kamz]

australia is on the defence here.......... sarfaraz has just come in and deep midwicket, deep square leg and long on is already in place

have to get 450 here, so australia just think of surviving and try to draw......

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Why are we still batting....

Waiting for Younis hundred.

Chasing records.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

YK just need only 14 more runs which might most probably take 10-12 minutes. Some people crying to declare right now or We'll loose is just hilarious

 

[akamaka]

When was the last time Australia batted more than 100 overs on a day 4-5 in the SC?

maybe 2005 when they did it last. Think they have done it 5 times ever total they have batted out 100+ overs to draw a game.

 

[Aman]

The pityh is getting flatter and Warner threat cannot be ignored.

That guy is in the form of his life.

Pak should have batted faster earlier.

Now they need to ramp it up real big.

Aus aren't going for the win, Clarke has clearly given that up. Why else would he keep the spinners on and let the Pakistani's score runs?

 

[Red Devil]

Shaba Shaba Younis jaldi kar

 

[dhump]

Younis is on 88 and no problem in letting him score some when he is playing fast.

 

[Justcrazy]

Six ...... need one more.

 

[Red Devil]

On 94 now

 

[Sam18696]

Yk knows so he is batting quickly.

 

[akamaka]

BOOM BOOM! time

 

[saiyan0312]

younis on 94 amazing shot

 

[dhump]

Younis was 67 at tea and now is on 95 after 20 mins.

 

[Sam18696]

Shabaash yk. Jaldi karo.

 

[Red Devil]

This might be the last over.

 

[Asif321]

sarfraz so quickly lol .misbah yk asad take 10overs to score 12

 

[Justcrazy]

Five away younis.

 

[Aman]

The question is - Is this a typical Day 4 or 5 track.

That's the issue.

In general, no question about it.

Nope, the question is - How many Australian batsmen do Australia have that can bat out 20 or more overs.

 

[Firebreaker]

Australia need to get rid of Rogers,Haddin and Lyon and should bring in Whiteman,Agar and Hughes

 

[Justcrazy]

Declaration is close.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Younis was 67 at tea and now is on 95 after 20 mins.

Those 20 mins might cost us a win.... This makes no sense at all to me. Younis 100 is not that important.

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis on strike

 

[Sam18696]

Man. I've never seen the Aussies so hopeless. It's strange

 

[Justcrazy]

97 now.

 

[Asif321]

poor sarfraz told to.give strike to yk

 

[Aman]

It may not look like a day 4 or 5 wicket now as Pakistan are batting, but when Australia bats again, we might see something else.

 

[Red Devil]

Just 2 more

 

[Sam18696]

Alright. One more over then

 

[Convict]

[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] did you read this?

Yes.

 

[Justcrazy]

Two more required.

 

[dhump]

Those 20 mins might cost us a win.... This makes no sense at all to me. Younis 100 is not that important.

If this match goes on wire Pakistan will win it. Although I dont think one should bat for his 100 but Pakistan got a plan I think to bring the lead to 450.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Imran Khan once declared himself on 96. That is why he is our greatest captain. Cares about the win, not silly records.

 

[Justcrazy]

Single.

 

[Sam18696]

1 more cmoonnn

 

[Convict]

The pityh is getting flatter and Warner threat cannot be ignored.

That guy is in the form of his life.

Pak should have batted faster earlier.

Now they need to ramp it up real big.

Warner has never scored a double century in international cricket.

I'm not sure why you're expecting him to score 300

 

[Red Devil]

On 99.

 

[Firebreaker]

It was wrong decision to drop Agar after just one series should have kept in squad

 

[Aman]

Yes.

Do you rate Clarke against spin as highly as others do?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sarfaraz is in a form that Virat Kohli had in 2012

 

[Justcrazy]

Imran Khan once declared himself on 96. That is why he is our greatest captain. Cares about the win, not silly records.

Misbah is not Imran . Imran is once a generation player.

 

[Aman]

Warner has never scored a double century in international cricket.

I'm not sure why you're expecting him to score 300

Could be the flattest wicket in the world but it's still difficult to bat out 100+ overs when you've been belted like Aus have over 4 days. They just don't have those head strong type of players these days.

 

[akki]

man we white washed them 4-0 single handedly.not a new thing to see aussies hopeless.

Man. I've never seen the Aussies so hopeless. It's strange

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Aus aren't going for the win, Clarke has clearly given that up. Why else would he keep the spinners on and let the Pakistani's score runs?

Nope, the question is - How many Australian batsmen do Australia have that can bat out 20 or more overs.

Aussies scored 300+ on a Chennai track due to Clarke century. Most of the team was gone yet 1-2 clicked and 300 was posted.

And that track was way way tougher than this.

When you are 260-2 in a Day 4 track, you need to plan for other scenarios too.

Pak are the overwhelming favorites but it does open a window of opportunity for Aussies to draw if this pitch is getting easier to bat on.

You gotta account for that too.

 

[Firebreaker]

Younis is the most selfish player I have ever seen

 

[ViciousMachine]

If this match goes on wire Pakistan will win it. Although I dont think one should bat for his 100 but Pakistan got a plan I think to bring the lead to 450.

450 is too much. We have wasted overs needed to take those wickets.

 

[saiyan0312]

younis on 99

 

[Sam18696]

for YK
Most by any Pakistani in tests!

 

[qamar84]

take a bow 2 century against aussies on the same match

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

 

[Red Devil]

Hundred for YK

 

[Sam18696]

Declared!!!

 

[ViciousMachine]

Finally, declared !!! Thankfully!

 

[Asif321]

hahaha Sarfraz celebrating younus century
