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

[AZ]

great analysis of Danish from Warnie! Spot on!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

No way its gonna reverse....

When its swinging conventionally then no chance for reverse swing!!

Well the ball is 50 overs old. If they have been 'taking care' of it, it may reverse. The aerodynamics of reverse swing depend on the condition of the ball not the conditions.

 

[Rana]

Kaneria is going to Test Akmal, 4 years ago it was Akmal who ruined hiss reputation as a keeper in England

 

[Easa]

I've been fighting to resist the urge of punning Paine's name. It's a tough ask

 

[Awesome_Username]

Asif just got hit for 4. He's gotta be the worst bowler in the world. His career's finished.

 

[Energy]

how do u get hussey out...nebody see flaws in his technique?

Send him when the team is NOT under pressure maybe!

 

[waqar_ahmad]

I have a feeling kaneria will get a wicket here. Come on dani boy

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good tidy over from

 

[A.M.]

maiden over!!

 

[Sunny786]

Is it true Michael Hussey doesn't like to be called Mr.Cricket???

 

[Sakss]

i thnk gullah should come on now

 

[*syed59*]

One more over to Asif I reckon. Then Gul from that end and along with Kaneria. finally Aamir and Gul to continue later on.

 

[Poison]

great analysis of Danish from Warnie! Spot on!

I've forgiven him for his gaffe about the pink bra earlier because of his current excellent analysis :younis

 

[Paradox]

Good field set by Afridi, but I think he should encourage T-Pain to go for a big shot by putting more men in the circle and round the bat too.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

You lot were right about Rameez.

Why does he reel off past misdemeanors of each player before he comes onto bowl?

Rameez is really cheesy and makes stupid comments quite a few times. I wish we had a replacement for him.

Meanwhile, Asif to continue..

 

[Rana]

Send him when the team is NOT under pressure maybe!

What a great player he really is then

 

[iZeeshan]

Asif and Aamer are superb

Still think we're missing a third bowler though

 

[AZ]

Willis with his fictional 'in the beginning' story about Asif...

 

[iZeeshan]

If we can get Paine, we can try and run through the tail too

Unlikely, but just wondering, if Hussey really is THAT impossible to dismiss

 

[Seen Sheen]

Half tracker from Asif

Put away for a four by Huss

 

[Energy]

Too short! I think this is his last over of a brilliant spell.

 

[Paradox]

I've forgiven him for his gaffe about the pink bra earlier because of his current excellent analysis :younis

nothing wrong with the pink bra comment, Warnie's that type of guy. Nobody is supposed to be offtended by it anyway.

Hussey hits Asif for four, he doesn't have the pace to bowl short.

 

[pakmania]

Bit short from Asif,Hussey slaps it through leg-side for 4

 

[Seen Sheen]

hmm,some bounce there for Asif...

 

[adnan yasin]

yeah thats the line .. asif ... bowl him here . . he ll edge it

 

[Rana]

please not another partnership!

 

[Poison]

nothing wrong with the pink bra comment, Warnie's that type of guy. Nobody is supposed to be offtended by it anyway.

Hussey hits Asif for four, he doesn't have the pace to bowl short.

Lol I wasn't offended, just imagining my dada watching in Pakistan and his reaction

 

[AZ]

Hussey ko out karooo!!!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Asif and Aamer are superb

Still think we're missing a third bowler though

Given the conditions, maybe we are a pacer short.

Tanvir Ahmed for Kaneria. Any takers???

 

[pakmania]

Good field set by Afridi, but I think he should encourage T-Pain to go for a big shot by putting more men in the circle and round the bat too.

) ) Thats terrible !

 

[NorthStar]

Hussey easily pulls for 4444, Asif's lack of pace quite evident there.

 

[iafzal]

we need them out for under 250 and it is looking unlikely.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hussey hits Asif for four, he doesn't have the pace to bowl short.

It wasnt an attempted short one..It just didnt come out the way he wanted from his hand...

 

[Paradox]

We need a Hussey smiley. rmentor

 

[Easa]

Given the conditions, maybe we are a pacer short.

Tanvir Ahmed for Kaneria. Any takers???

Is that a serious comment?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Danish is getting some in-drift...!!

 

[Dr. Khan]

Interesting, just checked the scores after lunch.
Looks like my comments about Asif being rubbish have sparked him to perform. Maybe I should call him rubbish more often.

 

[Rana]

Hussey ko out karooo!!!

M Hussey b Kaneria 11

There you go haah what a lame joke

 

[imshally81]

Current partnership 18 runs, 8.0 overs, RR: 2.25 (Hussey 11, Paine 6)

 

[AZ]

CAMANN Danissssssshhhh!

 

[Poison]

Watch out for the wrong'un to Paine.

 

[Da Best]

Hussey is Australia's only hope, if they wan't to pass 300.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

we need them out for under 250 and it is looking unlikely.

Yes they have Smith and MJ after this. Pakistan will have to do really well to get them out under 250.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Just too much workload for a fast bowler in a single day

 

[Sakss]

Given the conditions, maybe we are a pacer short.

Tanvir Ahmed for Kaneria. Any takers???

never

 

[Energy]

Good flight there!

 

[pakmania]

Gul hasnt been as bad as people are making him out to be,he's been economical and more or less kept up a bit of pressure on the Aussies from his end.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Well bowled..Bowled it really slower!!

 

[Paradox]

) ) Thats terrible !

) lol, I think that's his nickname. Even RA here uses it for him. Krapich, Twatson, T-Pain, etc

 

[Blitz]

I would chose an unfit Akhtar over Gul. I just fell with two spinner, Akhtar can get enough rest to keep bowling sharp 4 over spells. Gul is no test bowler, never has been.

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

come on PAKISTAN lets stuf the ozzies and hammer england later

 

[iZeeshan]

Asif should be taken off for Kaneria now

he must be tired

 

[ZAK]

192/5

 

[Poison]

Paine is so nervous.

 

[pakmania]

Would be disappointing if Oz reach 300.We've got them under pressure,now gotta finish the tail off.Oh and Hussey

 

[AZ]

uffff great googly! almost had him!

 

[Energy]

Gul is back!

 

[Easa]

Danish to get a wicket in his next few overs.

Umar Good back.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Maiden

 

[Oxy]

come on PAKISTAN lets stuf the ozzies and hammer england later

Later on when? Tonight?

 

[Paradox]

Gul in.

 

[Rana]

Get the ooozies out!

 

[AZ]

pitch it up Gully pitch it up!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Its GUL's time now ...C'mon GULLLLLLLLL!!! Need a wicket.

 

[pakmania]

Gul on for Asif who deserves a break.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

We've had an improvement in bowling today. And more spirit. The only problem is our extras. It would be 174 not 192

 

[Oxy]

Interesting, just checked the scores after lunch.
Looks like my comments about Asif being rubbish have sparked him to perform. Maybe I should call him rubbish more often.

Just send him the prescription, Doc.....

 

[Paradox]

Gul still bowling the usual length and short stuff. Pitch it up and there's prodigious reverse swing for a bowler of his type.. and the conditions.

 

[Energy]

Gul 67% short balls. Has to do better than that in conditions like this!

 

[uzy99]

we need to put more pressure on the batsmen

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Is that a serious comment?

Well it was a rhetorical question. Kaneria isn't exactly Warne you know.

 

[adnan yasin]

GULLA is back .... come on GULLA get hIm yaar

 

[pakmania]

Gul must bowl fuller,his problem in Tests is that he bowls a tad short and doesnt pitch it up,hope Waqar and Aqib have had a word to Gulla about this.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Warne,"Australia would take 300"

 

[Poison]

we need to put more pressure on the batsmen

This is a Test match. There is no rush.

 

[Paradox]

Afridi has nice hair and a gleaming smile.

 

[Rana]

Gul still bowling the usual length and short stuff. Pitch it up and there's prodigious reverse swing for a bowler of his type.. and the conditions.

Maybe he believes that what made me succesful in T20 might be disastrous for me!

 

[pakmania]

Well it was a rhetorical question. Kaneria isn't exactly Warne you know.

And Tanvir Ahmed isnt McGrath

 

[Gollum]

Warne,"Australia would take 300"

We would take 250. Our batting will have a hard time chasing beyond that.

 

[Paradox]

Well it was a rhetorical question. Kaneria isn't exactly Warne you know.

Not really, but if you're rated so highly by Warne, you must be pretty good.
