24/2

 

[adnan yasin]

Australia to be 356 for 2 at close

HASH *OCTOPUS BABA* ke Jai HO

 

[Sakss]

need to get a wicket ere ...if our batsman were batting we wouldve defntly edged one

 

[Masroor]

ooohh man what the hell he's doing...Mr Umpire favouring aussies or what...be fair man

 

[NJamal]

Asif bowling with his tail up here..........

I hope the tail does not effect his bowling

 

[Afridi_Fan]

comes on.

 

[LG]

Btw, anybody heard of the Asif-Is-A-Useless-Trundler Brigade??

 

[afridi_captain]

I'm just abit frustrated with Butt's captaincy at the moment. But I'm sure he will mature as captain as time goes on.

 

[ZAK]

Gul replaces Aamir.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i hope the tail does not effect his bowling

) ) ) )

 

[adnan yasin]

Aamir bowled 5 overs in his first spell.. with a wicket of katich ..



GUL now coming to bowl

 

[Random Aussie]

Match Referee will do nothing i bet! issed:

AJ phir ro rahe hain


2 down already? issed:

 

[Desire]

1st hour of test match, aus two down under 30, ball moving around, amir and asif bowling, WHO THE HELL WILL NOT HAVE 3 SLIPS?

 

[qamar84]

8.6
Mohammad Aamer to Clarke, no run, 84.1 mph, big appeal, it looks close as Clarke plays forward but Rudi quickly shakes his head. Was there an edge? Replays suggests not and Clarke is a lucky man to survive. Very lucky

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Strange field placment. Salman needs to attack and get another slip in.

 

[LG]

I hope the tail does not effect his bowling

On the contrary, it gives him a lot of balance.

 

[moz]

Good move, shouldnt not leave Gul cold for too long, give him some shine and seam to work with....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

to bounce Punter?

 

[Random Aussie]

I'm just abit frustrated with Butt's captaincy at the moment. But I'm sure he will mature as captain as time goes on.

Better captain than Shahid "the lion running away" Afridi.....at least he will stick around for more than 1 loss.

 

[adnan yasin]

I'm just abit frustrated with Butt's captaincy at the moment. But I'm sure he will mature as captain as time goes on.

what u didnt like?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And Punter pulls.

 

[Hash]

I think Aamer should have been kept on for 1 more over....was looking good.

Let's hope Gul can keep the pressure up.

 

[LG]

AJ phir ro rahe hain


2 down already? issed:

Should have been three. Rudi gave us a real gift. issed:

 

[mrk]

it was out . clear out. plump

and why did we need bowling chang when AMir was bowling well ?

 

[iafzal]

1st hour of test match, aus two down under 30, ball moving around, amir and asif bowling, WHO THE HELL WILL NOT HAVE 3 SLIPS?

Moyo, Butt and ...

 

[atif.raza]

I'm just abit frustrated with Butt's captaincy at the moment. But I'm sure he will mature as captain as time goes on.

He needs to put in more slips seeing the ball go past the mad so often. I think the midwicket position right now is a waste of a fielder really. We want them to play across the line and induce the edge.

But its his first test! Let us do an unthinkable and not give into the urge of critisicing Pakistani captain today no matter what happens

 

[NJamal]

AJ phir ro rahe hain


2 down already? issed:

So you are not original Aussie. Oh I See

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

I hope the tail does not effect his bowling

No chance lol

 

[ahmed16]

Asif looking as good as he was in 2006, that though was against England, this is the Aussies, bound to be better here.

 

[adnan yasin]

I just dont like . gul bowling short all the time ..

if he can swing the ball.. why the hell he bang it short from the word go

 

[qamar84]

8.6
Mohammad Aamer to Clarke, no run, 84.1 mph, big appeal, it looks close as Clarke plays forward but Rudi quickly shakes his head. Was there an edge? Replays suggests not and Clarke is a lucky man to survive. Very lucky

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

AAG
aamer asif gul

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Ponting has had problems against the short ball, but not slow half-trackers like that from Gul

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Not sure if its a good decision to bring Gul on so early. Aamer was doing pretty good.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gul might cost us the test match here..This session is so crucial..Need more wkts ...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now beats Pup.

 

[LG]

Aamir taken off too early....

 

[adnan yasin]

thats the way .. pitch the ball up.. u can swing my boy

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is not a good sign, 1st session and the ball is already keeping low.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Clarke needs to get out. He has been too lucky

 

[iafzal]

I think Butt is saving Aamir to come back 30 mins from the other side when Asif is doen bowling 8 overs or so.

 

[adnan yasin]

28/2

 

[Hash]

Come on Butt.........get another slip in there yaar.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

thats the way .. pitch the ball up.. u can swing my boy

is your boy?

Salam Uncle JI.

 

[NJamal]

Butt should had given chance to Aamer to get Punter. He is his bunny now a days

 

[adnan yasin]

good teasing length by asif .

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

11 gone
27/2

 

[iafzal]

Butt seems to be a defensive captain in the mold of Moyo maybe even worse from the field setting in the first 10 overs of a test

 

[adnan yasin]

is your boy?

Salam Uncle JI.

he is the boye of pakistan GULLA BoyE

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Asif to continue, punter to face.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

is smiling. Honeymoon period continues while bowling.

 

[MIG]

Saj says

Australia working on a plan to get 250 on the board - they know that its enough!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Marvellous bowling display thus far, shahbash lads, shahbash!

 

[qamar84]

Have the 2 W's (Wasim/Waqar) finally been replaced by the 2 A's

 

[adnan yasin]

2 slips only ..

 

[DW44]

So you are not original Aussie. Oh I See

He's not aboriginal if that's what you mean.

 

[adnan yasin]

Maiden over by asif ..

 

[ZAK]

27/2

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Only 2 slips?? Come on Salman get 2 more guys in the slip cordon.

 

[atif.raza]

2 slips only ..

yeah :s. Need at least 2 more slips there

 

[Oxy]

Gul might cost us the test match here..This session is so crucial..Need more wkts ...

Is that a serious post?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Is that Saj with flower in his coat and glasses?

He is looking impressive.

 

[LG]

Butt seems to be hyper defensive. Really disappointed.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to bowl Aussies out cheaply today!

 

[the Great Khan]

lol..BUtta looks like a durpook cuptaan like his buddy moon sahib..what a surprise..

 

[LG]

Clarke getting impatient.
