Pakistan v Australia | 2nd Test | Day 1: Session 1 | Leeds | 21/07/10

[LG]

Cricinfo says:

There was an utter downpour overnight in Leeds - two-and-a-half inches worth, apparently. The pitch is holding up despite that, but there are sizeable cracks on the wicket already, which doubtless played a part on Ponting's decision at the toss. Runs on the board could be invaluable as the game progresses, and the pitch deteriorates.

 

[A.M.]

Is Star Cricket gonna show the match?

no TenSports will

 

[ali110]

at least there is another test match going which seems pretty interesting in terms of quality test cricket.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I think TenSports will show this one from the start.

 

[A.M.]

todays Umpires IJ Gould and RE Koertzen (South Africa)

 

[adnan yasin]

will it be a good toss to lose for pakistan ??

 

[Poison]

It is unbelievable to note that a Pakistani captain has resigned and been dropped from the next test based upon performance !

What does it say about the PCB?

 

[A.M.]

I predict a wicket to fall in the first over.

Afridi ruled himself out with injury

 

[LG]

Anybody remembers that this will the last Test match for Rudi Koertzen??

 

[Fawad2010]

"The new media centre at Headingley is up and running, and an impressive sight it is too, even if the view it gives of the crumbling old Football Stand reinforces the feeling that this ground is an escapee from the 1970s."

Cricinfo


does PP have a media person covering it from the media center. Just wanted to know how it looks now.

 

[Pak_Power]

Salam All,

Hope Pak bowlers make a good start! Get them all out under 250.

[Sakss]

10.25am Brydon Coverdale, our man in the north this week, is on crowd hunt: "Only a few hundred people in the ground at the moment - but I can still here a couple of bloody vuvuzelas."

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to make early Inroads here.

Despite loads rain, wicket looks very dry and hard!

 

[adnan yasin]

Can ASIF complete his 100 wickets in this test match

 

[iafzal]

2 of the first over
not much move of the pitch

 

[Amjid Javed]

Intresting to see Kind of Fields Butt sets as captain!

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

Salaam to all PP's

[atif.raza]

I am really not looking forward to another Katich 50

 

[iafzal]

Pitch already looks much easier to bat than Lords. Malik should be very happy

 

[adnan yasin]

no ball by asif... driven down the ground by katich

 

[Seen Sheen]

pitch is looking a good one..Again we'll feature in a 4th inns...

 

[adnan yasin]

[fawad_wellwisher]

Pakistani's have a plan for Katich?

 

[adnan yasin]

6/0

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pitch already looks much easier to bat than Lords. Malik should be very happy

Thats makes the new ball spell even more crucial!

 

[imshally81]

Salam to all guyz

 

[Poison]

Seriously who's this idiot who keeps saying Asif began as an out and out pace bowler?

 

[adnan yasin]

good straight bowling by asif ... to watson ..

 

[atif.raza]

Seriously who's this idiot who keeps saying Asif began as an out and out pace bowler?

He kept ranting about it on the first test too.

 

[Seen Sheen]

When was Asif out and out quick bowler..

 

[adnan yasin]

good over by asif .. except that no ball thing ..

 

[ZAK]

Seriously who's this idiot who keeps saying Asif began as an out and out pace bowler?

[ZAK]

 

[Batman]

Australia | 0/6 | 2 Overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

It looks like we are in for a long test match.

 

[adnan yasin]

first boundary of the match ...

katich... eased it of his pads

 

[iHammad]

[atif.raza]

I thought this wicket will swing in the overcast conditions. It looks like as flat as lords did after day 3

 

[LG]

Seriously who's this idiot who keeps saying Asif began as an out and out pace bowler?

A commentator said that???!!!
Who's the idiot??

[Afridi_Fan]

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

Looks liek the mods did bother changing teh top picture of afridi looking at ponting, maybe not sure if we will have another captain next match, as captain keeps changing so often in our team??

 

[adnan yasin]
