Pakistan v Australia | First Test - Day 1 | Lords | 13/07/10

[Rana]

Aussie batsmen settle themselves in sooo quickly

 

[KingKhanWC]

Asif in good rhythm now. 4 but streaky.

 

[WasimWaqarInzy]

good shot from Clarke, ball probably a bit too full.

Asif probably is not a threat at this mid seventies pace....

 

[kingusama92]

Asif just changed his action.

What's going on with him?

 

[saeed-sohail]

Good shape from asif.

 

[imshally81]

boundries are continue to comming

 

[Rana]

I Want Wicket!

 

[Amjid Javed]

1 Boundary and over is not good enough and is releasing pressure to easy.

Come on Pakistan FFs!

 

[ZAK]

70/2 after 22 overs.

 

[don1990]

asif ki bowling ko veena ki nazar lag gyi hy.......

 

[the Great Khan]

I think asif is off the pace a little..probably not fully match fit??

 

[uzy99]

much better from Gul

 

[DOOSRA95]

I always knew Ponting is an IDIOT but this is really poor stuf even by his standards.
A 19 years old gets you out and your response is that you push your elbow out in anger and hit him, then he goes and complains to umpire??? What a moron!!!!

that is a typical ausis no need for us to get worked up.we shold know about such behiviour.

 

[cric_crazy]

wt is wrong with asif.....why has he changed his action? and he is really bowling slow and crappy..........kaneria can bowl faster than asif atm.....

 

[IMMY69]

need a fourth seamer!!!!

 

[pakmania]

I think asif is off the pace a little..probably not fully match fit??

Well he didnt have much time to prepare and adjust to the conditions like everyone else did.

 

[Rana]

wt is wrong with asif.....why has he changed his action? and he is really bowling slow and crappy..........kaneria can bowl faster than asif atm.....

Afridi is probably faster than asif when he bowl his quicker delivery

 

[Da Best]

Bring the slower bowlers on already. This is killing the pressure.

 

[AZ]

Clarke

looking good

 

[Friend786]

rubbish from umar gul

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

76/2

 

[uzy99]

Gul still needs to stay on Katich's off side.

 

[ZAK]

76/2 after 23 overs.

 

[IMMY69]

these conditions should have been perfect for Asif's bowling - he needs to up his speed...

 

[KingKhanWC]

wt is wrong with asif.....why has he changed his action? and he is really bowling slow and crappy..........kaneria can bowl faster than asif atm.....

Even in Australia he was only bowling around 80mph, so at worst he is only a couple of mph off his usual pace. His line and length are very good, he can find the outsidge edge at any time here.

 

[akamaka]

rubbish from umar gul

mate give him a break. 5 overs for 9 aint bad. especially when 5 of the runs came off his last over.

 

[Friend786]

another 4 for clarke

 

[ZAK]

more to Clarke.

 

[AZ]

another uppish drive through covers.

 

[pakmania]

Beautiful shot hit for 4

 

[imshally81]

time for Kaneria now

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Asif getting punished.

 

[uzy99]

time to introduce spin

 

[ZAK]

Another 44444444444444 to Clarke.

 

[AZ]

full on leg stump, flicked to fine leg.

 

[cric_crazy]

asif is really making a mess of things here.........

 

[cricfan967]

No matter how much variation Asif has, if hes bowling at 70 MPH, he will not frequently get runs.

 

[Rana]

Whats wrong, why has the urgency gone, you lot should have your tails up after dismissing ponting like that

 

[pakmania]

Poor delivery from Asif going down leg side,Pakistan have really let their foot off the gas.

 

[Dr. Khan]

you all need to admit it, that Asif is rubbish.

 

[1two3]

Asif looking a bit tired... Take him off and introduce spin with kaneria.

Captain LaLa, Are you Listening to me?

 

[imshally81]

another

 

[Amjid Javed]

Clarke looking rampant here! Maybe time for Danish!

 

[akamaka]

ok asif getting tired now, should be taken off.

 

[Friend786]

when will ball start reverse swinging ?

 

[Rana]

If i had just tuned in, i would guess that the score isnt too bad for the aussies

 

[Amjid Javed]

you all need to admit it, that Asif is rubbish.

Based on what?

 

[Sparhawk]

Clarke looking pretty darn good

 

[ahmed16]

Asif doesnt look like the threat he was in the 2006 England Tour, while of course every test wonder will come back down to earth, Asif has come back down all too easily. Not saying eh will not take wickets, but he has temporaraily lost that new ball threat.

 

[IMMY69]

clark in excellent touch and Asif going off the boil...

 

[pakmania]

Whats wrong, why has the urgency gone, you lot should have your tails up after dismissing ponting like that

We struggle to keep our concentration for long periods of time.Really are losing our focus.

 

[kingusama92]

Asif receiving some phainty.

 

[Friend786]

12 from the over !

 

[AZ]

fantastic shot, straight drive, pure class.

 

[ZAK]

88/2 after 24 overs

 

[saeed-sohail]

Aif has lost that quick wrist action.

 

[1two3]

Clarke Is playing T20 in Test. where were these strokes in the 2 match T20 series?

 

[IAJ]

Asif gone for one boundary in each of his last three overs.

As I said earlier even if you get early wickets against these aussies someone of them just digs in and makes a big contribution.

We need to break this partnership and then get Hussey as quick as possible.

 

[germanboy]

when will ball start reverse swinging ?

ask afridi.. he knwos exsactly how to do that in cheap way

 

[Desire]

mohd asif is finished. with full uuuuuuuuunnnnnhhhhh , he can bowl at 78 mph. slower than even indians

 

[IMMY69]

4th seamer...We are missing a 4th seamer!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asif attacking the stumps to much in last over.

Needed to stick to bowling just outside off-stick!

 

[NorthStar]

Clarke looking dangerous, hes finally found his 20/20 form.

 

[talha3]

well this is terrible. both spinners need to come on now.

 

[AZ]

garbage ball from Gul!

 

[imshally81]

3 fours in a over

 

[pakmania]

Aussies countering the pace easily now,got to take the pace off the ball and bring on the spinners,Kaneria and Afridi must come on now.

 

[Desire]

gul has got the asif virus has well

 

[Rana]

Yep the aussies are away

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 88/2 - Game evenly balanced at moment.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

4 byes.

 

[Friend786]

take that from umar gul ! 4 more

 

[hashbb]

Spin?

 

[Energy]

Gul is testing Akmal's keeping!

 

[Dr. Khan]

Based on what?

Based on his performances of the past, since his layoff he is a shadow of himself save that one test match in SL.

If nothing else continue watching this test match

 

[IAJ]

Clarke Is playing T20 in Test. where were these strokes in the 2 match T20 series?

Well Clarke played really well in the second match when he opned, he was unlucky to chop on in the second match.

 

[akamaka]

last ten overs a run rate of 5. issed:
