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

[Gulf of Gold]

Stumped ! Kaneria has been absolutely brilliant !!!

Hey! which match are you watching....

 

[Paradox]

Hilfenhaus and Bolly can't bat, Afridi should bring Asif in so hopefully he gets them both and gets his five-for.

Or bring himself in and bowl two quick, fast yorkers and finish it already.

 

[Big Mac]

Shot!

 

[pakmania]

Hmm Kamran seems to be keeping quite well to Danish ! Hope I dont jinx him though.

Hilfy in.He's gonna be a threat with his swing bowling later on,dangerous player in these conditions.Just coming back from injury.

Aamir back on.Come on Markhors !

 

[On_the_up]

hussey di tessey

 

[Paradox]

Stumped? What the hell )

 

[hur rizvi]

Poor bowling from AAmer

 

[Energy]

Amir is back. Pakistan should clean this now pretty soon. No, not very soon, forgot Hussey!

 

[Sakss]

cracking shot

 

[adarsh_bang]

brilliant . absolutely brilliant spin bowling danish .... set him up .. foxed him ...

 

[Seen Sheen]

Come on!!Dont dish up nice juicy half trackers now!!

 

[MIG]

Watch out for an assault from Hussey to get as many on the board now...tough period for Pakistan if they want to get Aus below 250

 

[Indiafan]

So who now blame Afridi for bowling first?

 

[Paradox]

did you hear the sound of the bat from Hussey's shot?

 

[pakmania]

Hey! which match are you watching....

.....The guy got bowled !!(Did I type stumped ) )

 

[uzy99]

They haven't collapsed yet.

 

[uzy99]

I will call it a collapse when they are all out.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

For those who wonder why Test cricket is the best form of the game, this is one reason (to me):

61.6

Danish Kaneria to Johnson, OUT, lovely bowling! Really good to watch! The pressure built all over, Johnson had no idea what was going on, this was looped up outside off, Johnson aimed an airy drive and it spun back quickly through the gate on to the stumps


MG Johnson b Danish Kaneria 3 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

61.5


Danish Kaneria to Johnson, no run, top bowling this, straighter, another googly and drew Johnson into a defence, had no idea which way it was spinning and went past the outside edge

61.4


Danish Kaneria to Johnson, no run, Johnson completes a hat-trick of leaves outside off

61.3


Danish Kaneria to Johnson, no run, left alone again outside off, this is a googly though

61.2


Danish Kaneria to Johnson, no run, nicely bowled again, Johnson is picking up his bat with the look of a man intent on swiping it over midwicket, but instead leaves alone

61.1

Danish Kaneria to Johnson, no run, nicely bowled, flight, loop, late dip, Johnson played all round it

Classic Test cricket bowling.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Is Hussey going to go for some quick runs?

 

[Paradox]

Every run counts now, will be extremely disappointed if Australia get 250 from here.

 

[taqi]

jonshon out becoz of the delivery he face before his dismisle

 

[Boi]

Can't believe Afridi was stupid enough to bowl first

There's NOTHING in it

We would get murdered on Day 5

Oh really?

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

hey guy's wasim akram's watching and taking questions on a stream im watching . not spam

 

[hur rizvi]

Hussey bats excellently wid the tail

 

[siccric]

These commentators forget that Aamer did bowl 4 wonderful overs in Lords in 2009 :aamir

 

[farsiddiqui]

Good one from the Gujjar Khan express

 

[Oxy]

So who now blame Afridi for bowling first?

Who blamed him before?

 

[Paradox]

Argh, stop the single in the last delivery.

 

[adarsh_bang]

afridi has rotated his bowlers brilliantly today

 

[Poison]

Who blamed him before?

iZeeshan, et al.

 

[Energy]

Good! Hilfy on strike to Kaneria!

 

[uzy99]

I want the tail to play Kineria

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Get Hilfenhauns on strike!

 

[Seen Sheen]

KAneria should strike consecutiveli in this over!!

 

[Rana]

let gul bowl to hilfy

 

[Paradox]

Nice. Tailender on strike.

 

[pakmania]

These commentators forget that Aamer did bowl 4 wonderful overs in Lords in 2009 :aamir

Its scary how much better he now is from 2009.He keeps on improving at such a fast rate.

 

[hur rizvi]

PAkistan should polish the tail of quickly we cant afford hussey to do the same thing that he did to us in SCG test

 

[Energy]

afridi has rotated his bowlers brilliantly today

True. That aspect is certainly been noted!

 

[Monsee]

Afridi you idiot/moron, attack Hussey or he will soon turn this in to a Sydney like scenario

Even Cricinfo is saying the same:

There's a deep cover set, which is hardly the most attacking approach from Afridi.

60.3
Umar Gul to Hussey, 1 no ball, another no ball ruins what would have been a good bouncer, forcing Hussey to sway away swiftly

60.2
Umar Gul to Hussey, no run, the wicket might just have given Gul some confidence, he's really bounding in, finds some extra bounce and hurries Hussey into a defence

60.1
Umar Gul to Hussey, no run, good from Gul, full and attacking the stumps, Hussey forward and defending uneasily. Pakistan have to get him out, not gift him singles. It will be a low scoring game and Hussey can make a big difference

 

[Paradox]

Kaneria!

 

[ahmed16]

Come On Pakistan, can you defy expectation and not allow Hussey to produce an umpteenth comeback.

 

[uzy99]

Bowling Danish!!!!

 

[pakmania]

Hussey=Lussi
Hilfenhaus=Hilfy=......Kulfi ?

 

[siccric]

Kaneria vs the Ben

This should be fun!

 

[On_the_up]

kaneria turning the back square now. this is day one.

 

[SOSami]

Hussey=Lussi
Hilfenhaus=Hilfy=......Kulfi ?

lol

 

[Paradox]

Oh, damn.

 

[Energy]

Nearly! The wrong one.

 

[ahmed16]

****in hell, Kaneria is spinning it miles.

 

[iZeeshan]

That's right

Keep Benhaus on strike

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

219/8

 

[MIG]

How is the light - are we likely to get about 19 more overs tonite?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pakistan like collapse from aus.

 

[pakmania]

This awful Sky advert with that modelling frog keeps popping up on my stream.

 

[MIG]

Akhri wicketon ka jald say jald khatma kiya jaayay - Saddar Zardari.

 

[pakmania]

15 damn years we havent won a Test vs Oz.

Time to change that.

 

[hur rizvi]

Need to attack hussey let him go for bounderies . we should attack off stump of hussey...

 

[iZeeshan]

We MUST keep them under 250.

All hard work will be undone if they reach that milestone

 

[SOSami]

As a few people have said over the years, including Warne, Kaneria sometimes spins the ball too much too consistently to take wickets. Warne has said a lot of his wickets came from the balls that didn't spin. Looks like a few of those leggies were way too good for Hilfenhaus.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hmmm,Huss is giving Hilfenhaus the confidence...Not sure its the right thing to do when the ball is doing a bit....!

 

[adarsh_bang]

hope afridi isn't over bowling amir here ... but its only day ... so not too bad i guess

 

[Paradox]

Heartening to see Hussey put trust in the tail, like he did in the Sydney test.

 

[uzy99]

Really need to stop those in the field

 

[Gollum]

Afridi should bring himself against Hilfi. He looks more uncomfortable against spin than pace.

 

[faz]

This awful Sky advert with that modelling frog keeps popping up on my stream.

whats the link??

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

One more ball to Hilly.

 

[hur rizvi]

Hussey is master when batting wid the tail

 

[taqi]

jonshon out becoz of the delivery he face before his dismisle

 

[pakmania]

6pm coming up now,are the umpires gonna take the extra hour ?

 

[ZAK]

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]
