Pakistan v Australia | 2nd Test | 1/11/2014 | Abu Dhabi l Day 3

[Justcrazy]

Where are the yorkers?

 

[Justcrazy]

Marsh should get a hundred here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rahat ali needs to add aggression into his action.. his body language is terrible.

 

[MRSN]

U am surprised how Australians are 8 down on this road really. No demons so far in this pitch.

 

[Justcrazy]

Siddle is hard nut to crack , also Starc still to come

 

[OZGOD]

Can't believe I wasted my Friday night and going to waste half my Saturday sleeping in because I stayed up to watch this tripe

 

[Justcrazy]

Marsh looking good .

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need a special delivery here.

 

[Mamoon]

I'm getting extremely frustrated and the exam hasn't helped either.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez is good only in shorter formats.

 

[Justcrazy]

Two more runs , Marsh approaching a Ton.

 

[Justcrazy]

Really surprised at yorkers missing , what has Waqar done so far ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful cover drive by Marsh.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Faltu half volley

 

[Mr Consistent]

lovely shot

 

[Justcrazy]

This guy is better than his brother. Shaun .

 

[OZGOD]

I'm getting extremely frustrated and the exam hasn't helped either.

I'm getting frustrated watching Marsh too. He's showing how easy it actually is to bat on this wicket once you get yourself in. It's making me even angrier at our top order. Plus it's 7:30am here and I haven't slept yet and that always makes me grumpy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Out


What a soft way to get out

 

[OZGOD]

Marsh

 

[JibranAnsari]

And out..

Woowww


1 more.

 

[leatherface58]

Gone! Terrible ball to get out too.

 

[Justcrazy]

Full toss and out. Marsh would be disappointed

 

[OZGOD]

Didn't get a ton but didn't deserve one with that shot anyway

 

[Mr Consistent]

Marsh gone

 

[Aman]

Good knock by Marsh.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Get some sleep , you are going down anyway.

 

[Justcrazy]

One more wicket to go

 

[Big Mac]

Stupid shot. Deserved a hundred but I'm not sorry to see him go, let's wrap this up quickly now

 

[OZGOD]

Going to be 300ish runs behind if I were Pakistan I would bat till lunch tomorrow then declare with a 500 run lead.

 

[MRSN]

Really surprised at yorkers missing , what has Waqar done so far ?

Yorkers are a special skill..not every bowler can bowl it.

 

[Ahson8]

Lol Rameez jinxed Marsh there.
Well played.

 

[Justcrazy]

Question is will Pakistan enforce follow on , my opinion is NO.

 

[OZGOD]

Stupid shot. Deserved a hundred but I'm not sorry to see him go, let's wrap this up quickly now

Didn't deserve a hundred. That was an ordinary shot

 

[Nado_]

Kasam no lie as soon as rameez raja was praising marsh's timing i thought to myself i bet hes going to go next ball, commentators curse loll

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lovely timer of the ball. But got out to a full toss

 

[Aman]

Out.

Massive lead for Pakistan.

 

[Big Mac]

let's wrap this up quickly now

Thanks guys.

 

[MRSN]

Didn't get a ton but didn't deserve one with that shot anyway

Not really..he totally deserved it. Played a brilliant knock. I didn't expect him to last longer than 25 balls against spinners.

 

[JibranAnsari]

And thats all folks

 

[Aman]

Think Pakistan's batting again.

 

[Mr Consistent]

all out

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why not enforcing follow on!

This is opportunity of a lifetime for misbah to win by an innings against australia.

 

[Ahson8]

Follow-on or not ?

 

[Red Devil]

309 is a massive lead, we should send them in again.

Totally agree. BTW [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] how do you guys quote these tweets?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Follow on please

 

[Mr Consistent]

Pakistan will bat again

 

[hamzie]

Follow on please

pak batting brah

 

[Ahson8]

Should have enforced the follow-on.

 

[hussain.r97]

They didn't! What! This was a rare opportunity to get an innings win. Guess they're playing safe

 

[Aman]

Get it?

 

[MRSN]

Good decision. .Bowlers are tired as well.

 

[pak4life]

No point following on in these conditions give our bowlers a few sessions rest.

 

[Sam18696]

The bowlers must be tired that's why they didn't enforce the follow on.

aah crap!


An innings victory always sounds sweeter

 

[OZGOD]

Interesting so you can embed HTML? Didn't know that.

 

[Aman]

Saves Australia blushes - innings defeats are the worst kind of defeats.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Which bowlers get tired after 67 overs!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan had a chance to enforce follow on after 26 years against australia and you blow it?

 

[MRSN]

They didn't! What! This was a rare opportunity to get an innings win. Guess they're playing safe

What if Aus had posted a 500 total and gave Pakistan 190 to chase?Pakistan aren't good at chasing. Misbah is playing safe. Also the bowlers are tired. They would be fresh for the second innings.

 

[OZGOD]

So far Maxwell's contribution is a T20esque 37 off 28 (I guess he was the 3rd highest score) and 0-78 off 16 at an econ of 4.87. Great move from the boffins in charge.

 

[90MPH]

Nah they should have followed on.

When someone is down keep kicking them down.

 

[OZGOD]

Watch the wicket turn into a highway again

 

[Aman]

MJ looks like an English pansy boy clean shaven.

 

[Red Devil]

Should have enforced the follow on. 309 is a big lead, we could have won this game by an innings.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Good idea to bat again. Why take a chance Aus score 430-450, and we need to score 120-150 on a day 5 pitch? Play it safe, score a chunk of runs and play it safe.

 

[MRSN]

Which bowlers get tired after 67 overs!

You don't wanna bat on this pitch on day 5 chasing 150 odd runs.

 

[786warrior]

Glad they didn't enforce follow on - bat till after lunch tomorrow and set 500+ target

EVEN BETTER THAN WINNING THIS TEST IS TO GRIND THE AUSSIES INTO THE DESERT DUST!!! Take that over a win in this match anytime!!!!

Opportunity to send the Aussies home with PTSD

 

[hussain.r97]

Mitch shaved

 

[90MPH]

You don't wanna bat on this pitch on day 5 chasing 150 odd runs.

A demoralised Australia is never getting 450 or even close.

 

[Aman]

lol has no power without the facial hair.

 

[Mr Consistent]

First ball 44444444

 

[OZGOD]

I wonder if they will be sledging. Hard to sledge when you are 300+ behind

 

[MRSN]

Should have enforced the follow on. 309 is a big lead, we could have won this game by an innings.

So far Nothing in the pitch suggests Asu will be bowled out under 450 here unless they play stupid shot like in the first innings.

 

[OZGOD]

Mitch shaved

It's for Movember. You have to shave at the start of the month and then not shave for the whole month to raise money for charity.

 

[786warrior]

Nah they should have followed on.

When someone is down keep kicking them down.

Yes bro by smashing the bats on their heads again!!! Make them drop in the heat from humiliation and exhaustion!!

 

[Mr Consistent]
