Pakistan v Australia | 1st Test | 26/10/2014 | Dubai (DSC) l Day 5

[Random Aussie]

he looked good in the first half of the test.

Who is he coming in for though? Watson or a pure batsman?

Watson, so you have to judge him as a debutant all rounder. He showed potential with both bat and ball in this game, something for the future.

 

[Yatoo]

What is the record for maximum number of balls without boundary? Must be around 400

 

[Convict]

It's also the first time he's batted in Asia.

They'll only cull one batsman for this loss and it will be Doolan.

Starc will play next test. Sure he might be lose but he'll get wickets anyway

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No mystery spin this time. Just orthodox left arm spin and legspin. Damn Australia really are bad at playing spin. Rogers in particular has very poor technique against spin. The rest were mentally shot. Losing wickets to arm balls while playing for imaginary square turners.

What do you call the ball that took the wicket of Haddin? Wasn't a simple arm ball was it? that came in like an off spinner.

I call it Haddin being old and past it

I don't think Babar bowls a doosra/carrom ball. An arm ball that drifts in can be equally deceptive though and Babar does get good drift. Also came in a tad quicker off the pitch.

 

[Mamoon]

Any decent subcontinent spinner can do well against Australia in these conditions. Baba is inferior to Herath, Ashwin, Jadeja and Shakib and a liability in the field as well.

I don't see Baba doing well against SL, SA etc. teams that play spin well.

Baba has the knack of bowling pies at times but Australia aren't good enough to cash in.

What's stopping Tim Paine replacing him?

The fact that Paine is a dud

 

[waleed88]

Haddin plays spin like he plays fast bowling. Theres no movement of his feet. The gap between bat pad is huge.

so here we go, the best troll in town is back in action.

 

[Zeshan547]

Guys plz don't even try to argue with [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] because he wont gonna change his biased opinion about any x, y, z player, no matter how good your logic is but he will just keep replying with useless arguments, just enjoy his trolling posts and skip to next post. I love Mamoon because his trolling posts always brings smile to my face. Keep it up Mamoon.

 

[Sam18696]

Rahat on

:yshah1 so we have him as PP smiley now.

Even Ajmal and Rehman didn't do any thing extra ordinary against SA. SA also gave a good fight to Indians in India.
And won a test series in SL.
So what has Ashwin, Ajmal, herath, shakib done against top spin playing nations?

 

[Fastandfurious]

F'en hell Ramiz on again.

 

[Sam18696]

Ramiz this is Australia. Don't think they can be mentally scarred

 

[IAJ]

lols shut up Rameez. Giving the aussies a lecture on mental strength is just stupid.

 

[hamzie]

lol ramiz cough made me laugh

you would have saved your time if you have read post #252 & post #253

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 3 good balls here

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar continues

 

[Mamoon]

Ajmal is a chucker so he doesn't count anymore.

Herath is comfortably the best spinner in the world today and the likes of Ashwin are deadly on subcontinental wickets, particularly Ashwin. Shakib is very underrated as a bowler because he plays for Bangladesh and not many top teams tour them.

Baba is good, but not a front-line spinner in my opinion. I think he's more of a supporting cast like Jadeja but has less variety and a little one dimensional at times. Miles better than Rehman though and we should have paired him with Ajmal long ago rather than investing so much in a mediocre spinner Rehman.

 

[Mamoon]

Ramiz would fit in nicely here on Pakpassion.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Okay i am here and m finally believing we are winning....

I called this day one and it's happening exactly as I predicted.

Where's my medal?

 

[Yatoo]

you would have saved your time if you have read post #252 & post #253

I logged in late. Just saw his comment.

 

[Mamoon]

We lack pacers with skill. A spin dependent attack isn't a good advertisement for Pakistan cricket.

 

[Bosch]

Guys Ramiz doing the same thing as the Australian commentators say about us when we are in Australia with Australia it's all mind games

 

[Mr Consistent]

FINALLY

 

[Mamoon]

Okay i am here and m finally believing we are winning....

Report in the humble pie/wrist slitter thread.

 

[Zeshan547]

Okay i am here and m finally believing we are winning....

good attempt at jinxing Pak, but i think nothing gonna work for you today, sorry dear better luck next time.

 

[Sam18696]

Lousy delivery

 

[Mamoon]

What a joke Rahat is.

 

[Mr Consistent]

poor delivery by rahat

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I wont believe it till we do...

Johnson has a knack for test centuries...

 

[Bosch]

Ramiz taking the proper P

 

[Mamoon]

Along with [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

Don't break my heart. You are one of the few Pakistanis posters here that make sense and I'm also a fan of your username.

What's it we don't lack?
Apart from talunt

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I dont believe in jinxes....

 

[Mamoon]

Need to test Smith here. He looks pretty comfortable out there.

 

[Yatoo]

Don't break my heart. You are one of the few Pakistanis posters here that make sense and I'm also a fan of your username.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Johnson is bloody hard to dismiss for a tailender. Can bat better than half the lineup.

 

[Sam18696]

I wont believe it till we do...

Johnson has a knack for test centuries...

You're saying it like he has scored 50 centuries or something..

 

[Yatoo]

Bring in Hafeez and Yasir Shah. One to take ball away, another to dart it in.

 

[Aman]

In the main match of the day. NSW 2/10 chasing 250+

WA on fire. #betterThanTheHobbits
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]

Watto butchering WA

 

[Aman]

The fact that Paine is a dud

What about Sam Whiteman? Reckon Haddin will retire from Tests after the home series against India?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

You're saying it like he has scored 50 centuries or something..

One is enough to know he is no mug...

 

[Random Aussie]

What about Sam Whiteman? Reckon Haddin will retire from Tests after the home series against India?

Haddin will have to be forcibly retired I think

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

I called this day one and it's happening exactly as I predicted.

Where's my medal?

5-0...ASHES this year....ain't that MEDAL enough for You...mate?

 

[Shafi]

PLz get another wicket!!!!

 

[Sam18696]

Ouch.

 

[Bosch]

Ooooo

 

[Convict]

What about Sam Whiteman? Reckon Haddin will retire from Tests after the home series against India?

At the moment Nevill is a better player than Whiteman but Whiteman is 22 and will overtake him in 1-2 years.

Both would be better in the tests than Haddin.

Not sure about the ODIs. Nevill would be better there.

Whiteman's too classical to push up the runrate so has to resort to slogs

 

[Shafi]

Hafeez again!!! Misbah you moron!!

 

[Shafi]

Our players do not want to win so easily!!!

 

[Aman]

Mitch plays spin better than Doolan

 

[Convict]

Smith's promotion to three should come next test. Bats there for NSW and we want as much of Warner and Smith together as we can

 

[Shafi]

what is the point of containing runs!!!

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] you should send Watson an SOS, Marsh doesn't look Test quality.

 

[Mr Consistent]

stump chance missed :kami

 

[Sam18696]

Ramiz saying Sir is not a good keeper

 

[Ahson8]

Sarfraz

That last one )

 

[Bosch]

He can improve nothing wrong with that

 

[Yatoo]

Rameez is right in saying Sir Faraz is not a good keeper. He is just a little better than Akmal.

 

[Sherlock]

What an ignorant comment from Ramiz Raja. Stupid really, well not really a surprise!

 

[Professor]

So Ramiz is calling Sarfaraz a poor keeper based on one stumping and going about how perfect Adnan was. I guess Ramiz's bias made him forget how Adnan did vs south Africa a little while back.

 

[Shafi]

Misbah wants hafeez get a wicket or two so he can be in next test

 

[imshally81]

Yasir should bowl

 

[Mamoon]

Adnan is better WK than Sarfraz who is an ordinary keeper no doubt. Rameez stating the obvious there but criticism against Sarfraz isn't bearable on Pakpassion these days.

 

[imshally81]

Beauty

 

[Mamoon]

We are looking just a little flat out there. Seem to be running out of ideas.
