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

[saeed-sohail]

Katich is so annoying but he is damn good at what he does.

 

[Boi]

Parveen Kumar is better than asif

Obviously.

 

[Rizwan 23]

we need to make better use of the conditions and the new ball, if we let the aussies settle in they will make us pay. Asif needs to bend his back a bit more..... his swing is being easily tracked from the hand by Katich and Clarke at the moment - conditions are tailor made for him!!

 

[tauseefm]

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

Totally agree with u. Holding was saying that pakistani players need to be more patience in Test cricket. i would say its our fans who need more patience then our cricket team. Some people are just not meant to watch test cricket.

 

[pakmania]

Parveen Kumar is better than asif

Have you been drinking the wacky-jacky juice or something ?

 

[1two3]

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

Its more like you are talking rubbish. :younis

 

[Desire]

why do all pak bowlers look so tired like they have been laying bricks all day.. they need to work on their stamina.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan losing control here. We need a wicket and runs to dry up!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

93/2

 

[cric_crazy]

wt a counter attack by AUS........but I dunno why the heck asif has changed his action........

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like DK will be on soon!

 

[ZAK]

93/2 after 25 overs

 

[Energy]

Time for some spin now.

Welcome Rizwan,great to see you here !

 

[uzy99]

maybe persist with the fast bowlers for a couple more overs, then bring on spin.

 

[Friend786]

kaneria comes to bowl !

 

[pakmania]

Thank God !

Kaneria on.

 

[hur rizvi]

KAneria is on Aussies will attack him now

 

[1two3]

Kaneria On Action.. Hope he does not flop this time.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gul looking to bowl Katich round his legs coz hes shuffling so much!

93/2

 

[uzy99]

nevermind

 

[ZAK]

Danish Kaneria to bowl now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Danish on. The sun is coming out.

 

[Da Best]

why do all pak bowlers look so tired like they have been laying bricks all day.. they need to work on their stamina.

The only started playing test cricket a year ago. You should have seen them that time.

 

[uzy99]

Gul looking to bowl Katich round his legs coz hes shuffling so much!

93/2

Gul isn't quick enough to get through his defense

 

[the Great Khan]

match still even..a wicket here and we back in it..if they carry on then aussies will be in front..no need to panic just yet!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kaneria needs to start well and not bowl any freebies!

 

[Rizwan 23]

here comes Danish........

 

[Sparhawk]

.

 

[KingKhanWC]

That was out! issed:

 

[adzzy786]

that was out. wt..

 

[NorthStar]

Katich looked plumb.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Unbelievable how fickle pa fans are. Asif is one of the best test match bowlers in the world. He doesnt get a wicket today, and suddenly he is rubbish!

 

[pakmania]

Kaneria bringing in some much-needed aggression,hope Kamran can hold his catches agaisnt Danish !

 

[waqar_ahmad]

that was out. wt..

Arent they using the referral system?

 

[pakmania]

Unbelievable how fickle pa fans are. Asif is one of the best test match bowlers in the world. He doesnt get a wicket today, and suddenly he is rubbish!

Welcome to Pakistan !

 

[adzzy786]

see what is wrong with these umpires, are they blind

 

[Friend786]

good bowling from danish kaneria !

 

[pakmania]

Come on lads, wicket needed.

 

[hur rizvi]

2nd bad decision by umpires

 

[Rizwan 23]

wheres Zameer haider when you need him!!! lol

 

[talha3]

we've been so unlucky with these decisions, whats new though

 

[Energy]

I think thats Nadeem Gauri with the drinks!

 

[IMMY69]

Unbelievable how fickle pa fans are. Asif is one of the best test match bowlers in the world. He doesnt get a wicket today, and suddenly he is rubbish!

He's a top top bowler - but seems to be lacking in pace/zip today...

 

[ZAK]

96/2 after 26 overs

 

[Friend786]

Arent they using the referral system?

no

 

[waqar_ahmad]

edit..

Well, then expect some bad decisions going against us

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

Parveen Kumar is better than asif

evan my aunti parveen akthar is better then him lol

 

[IMMY69]

If Warne was bowling somehow I reckon that LBW appeal would have been upheld!!!

 

[NorthStar]

Slow mo suggests Ball pitched outside off.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good first over by kaneria there. Need to keep aus below 300.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Why did the umpire give the benefit of the doubt (there was very little) to the batsmen? He padded up and the ball hit him inside and was going to hit the stumps.

 

[pakmania]

UDRS not used for this series.Will be used in the England series though.

 

[talha3]

Once again, arent they using the review system in this series?

no, only in the england test series.
aus were not willing for urds to be used here.

 

[iZeeshan]

That was plumb was it not?

Umpires said we were unlucky before, was that also a given out?

 

[Da Best]

Once again, arent they using the review system in this series?

Nope.

 

[pakmania]

Drinks break.

Drink your Pepsi boys

 

[kingusama92]

It was not plumb, but tremendously close and probably out.

 

[Friend786]

2nd bad decision by umpires

simon katich is a lucky man today !

 

[hur rizvi]

2nd bad decision and the katich has got out twice now but really bad umpiring

 

[waqar_ahmad]

no, only in the england test series.
aus were not willing for urds to be used here.

Well, now we know why

 

[bhakkar]

katich is one lucky *******. he shudda been out at least 1 mayb 2wice

 

[Pakprideuk]

Poor decision again.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Slow mo suggests Ball pitched outside off.

That's fine, it can.

Rudi thought it hit him outside off but he padded up.

 

[IMMY69]

Once again, arent they using the review system in this series?

they're not because the icc and sky team could not agree upon it..refferels apparently require extra cameras/equipment and the ICC refuses to fund it and Sky refuse to finance it themselves..This is the case with all the games covered by Sky...

 

[kingusama92]

Why did the umpire give the benefit of the doubt (there was very little) to the batsmen? He padded up and the ball hit him inside and was going to hit the stumps.

He did not pad the ball away.

He played a stroke and thus the decision became a tight one as once you play a shot the ball has to strike the pad within the line of the stumps.

If he had padded it like you stated then it would have been an easy decision.

 

[adnan yasin]

wasnt that katich lbw decision pretty close to be given out ? of danish kaneria

 

[hur rizvi]

Umar gul needs to bowl full and straight ..

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wth!Rudi issed!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Gul should try a yorker delivery now.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

they're not because the icc and sky team could not agree upon it..refferels apparently require extra cameras/equipment and the ICC refuses to fund it and Sky refuse to finance it themselves..This is the case with all the games covered by Sky...

ahh..ok that makes more sense.

So katich has already been out twice now

 

[pakmania]

Must get Katich out,he looks set for a long stay at the crease along with Clarke.

 

[hashbb]

why isn't bowling?

 

[hur rizvi]

wasnt that katich lbw decision pretty close to be given out ? of danish kaneria

he was out......

 

[IMMY69]

Slow mo suggests Ball pitched outside off.

it doesnt matter if it did pitch outside offstump, its where the ball hits the pads and in this instance it did hit him in line...

 

[*syed59*]

Umpires are not giving the bowlers any chance on CLOSE shouts which are more probably out.

I just hope they maintain the same level of decision making and be consistent when its our turn to bat. That's all I would want now.

 

[talha3]

they're not because the icc and sky team could not agree upon it..refferels apparently require extra cameras/equipment and the ICC refuses to fund it and Sky refuse to finance it themselves..This is the case with all the games covered by Sky...

well then why are they being used for the england series?

 

[pakmania]

Bouncer...no ball.


God this is frustrating !

 

[Friend786]

gul should keep it simple !

 

[adnan yasin]

ASIF looked bit threatening.. in early spell.. but umar gull is looking wayward... his bowling doesnt look all planned..

he should be using his reverse swing yorkers skills in his next spell.. thats the time he can deliver his best
