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

[uzy99]

I wish Aamer could get one more over here

 

[lumber121]

Hope our batsmen play better then Aussies as we have disputant too, Openers r key..But as usual we have tried n tested failure to open on a pitch where ball is moving about,, Fingers cross,,
Some please get Hussey middles stump out of ground..

Kamran...

 

[iZeeshan]

Asif is good at everything BUT cleaning up a tail

Bad move

 

[hur rizvi]

Asif not the best choice to bowl at tailenders

 

[pakmania]

Should have been Gul.

 

[Gollum]

Agree with Warney...Gul may have been a better choice.

 

[Sakss]

i wana c pak bat....now

 

[Da Best]

Afridi should have brought himself on people!

 

[cricfan967]

Cmon just finish it!

 

[pakmania]

Umpire checking the light.

 

[cric_crazy]

pathetic captaincy by afridi, can sense shades of moyo in him..........

 

[hur rizvi]

Please get bollinger out before the play stops due to bad light

 

[Sakss]

get em out before light gets worse

 

[Paradox]

Exhilarating Test match cricket right here, it's an absolute INSULT that a match like this will be going on during the same time a travesty and overkill of a Sri Lanka-India Test series is going on.

 

[Oxy]

Bad light meters being checked. I suggest a quick eye test also for umpires overnight

 

[adarsh_bang]

is hussey out yet ???

 

[pakmania]

Another reading,are we finished here ?

 

[ehjaz]

who is saying "comon comon boys shabash shabash......good bowling"

 

[iZeeshan]

Need to finish this before the day's play

Too nerveracking to let it continue

 

[Sakss]

lucky for akmal it wasnt a catch...lol

 

[Poison]

People here acting like Bollinger is the next Bradman

 

[Oxy]

pathetic captaincy by afridi, can sense shades of moyo in him..........

Erm...yeah. Right. OK..

 

[akamaka]

lol, who is that is the background going, sabash boys kya bat hai?!

 

[hur rizvi]

What intelligence from afridi giving bowl to asif

 

[Paradox]

pathetic captaincy by afridi, can sense shades of moyo in him..........

) ) ) you have a nice sense of humor.

 

[pakmania]

Well bowled from Asif.

Btw good atmosphere at Lords.Hope it isnt just 1st Day atmosphere and more Pak fans will turn up for Tests.

 

[iZeeshan]

I heart test cricket.

 

[Oxy]

Need 2 spinners on from both ends

 

[ehjaz]

Kami's keeping sucks as usual

 

[1two3]

common boyzzzzzzz.. Finish the Innings before Gouldy calls off the play because of bad light.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

228/9

 

[Sakss]

plz play.....spinner nazar a jayega

 

[SOSami]

Draw this innings out as long as possible. Might be sunny tomorrow morning and this pitch will be as flat as Lahore. Lets give our batsmen a chance...

 

[pakmania]

Lets finish this.One more wicket and we can start the cars.

 

[hur rizvi]

Afridi should bowl from the other end to extend the days play

 

[cricfan967]

pathetic captaincy by afridi, can sense shades of moyo in him..........

Wow. The only thing pathetic here is that comment.

 

[iZeeshan]

We need a wicket this over!

Come on!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Afridi should bowl next over

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

229/9

 

[S_K]

Pathetic fielding

 

[hur rizvi]

PAthetic fielding from farhat should have stopped the single

 

[Sakss]

wth,,,,,,,,,

 

[ehjaz]

Hussy looked eager to go out of ground

 

[Gollum]

Afridi should have bowled the next over! Lights offered and taken.

 

[Paradox]

This is stupid, Afridi should bowl.

 

[siccric]

So no more play today, guys?

 

[mrk]

Bowl should be given to Imran Farhat

 

[pakmania]

Bad light stops play.

229-9

 

[hur rizvi]

Why afridi didnt go for the kill and introduced himself

 

[Poison]

I don't know why everyone is so intent on getting them out this evening. The conditions are terrible for batting atm.

 

[Rana]

come on pakistan, make sure you dont bat tonight

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great day. Aus could have got 450+. Now we are right in the game.

 

[Da Best]

Match delayed due to bad light?

 

[pakmania]

So no more play today, guys?

No unless the light improves before 6:30pm.

 

[iZeeshan]

Excellent day for Pakistan

we are clearly on top!

 

[iZeeshan]

I don't know why everyone is so intent on getting them out this evening. The conditions are terrible for batting atm.

Because I'm scared that when they come back tomorrow morning they'll manage a big partnership

 

[Dr Khan]

afridi should have bowled and tired to finish it up today.

 

[Fallen King]

Shahid Afridi has bowled only three overs? His bowling is clearly exposed.

 

[SOSami]

Afridi made the right decision. He hasn't been bowling with confidence so why potentially give 10+ free runs to Hussey before the close of play just for the sake of taking one wicket? 10+ freebies are a lot given the overhead conditions.

 

[pakmania]

Great first day for us.Pakistan Zindabad ! The Markhors did us proud in that last session !

Aus 171-2 to 229-9.What a team )

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good thnking by afridi. No point batting today in these conditions. Hope for better conditions tommorrow.

 

[AZ]

Great day. Aus could have got 450+. Now we are right in the game.

 

[Indiafan]

I don't know why everyone is so intent on getting them out this evening. The conditions are terrible for batting atm.

Pak wouldnt be batting tonight even if they get the no 10 out. The changeover will take time

 

[Monsee]

Pakistani retarded mentality of not attacking the main batsman and giving him easy runs is alive and kicking in Afridi...this is absolutely in-excuseable even for a man of Afridi's mentality

 

[Rana]

i dont think there will be much cricket tomorow

 

[Poison]

Because I'm scared that when they come back tomorrow morning they'll manage a big partnership

Don't worry

 

[cricketcrazy]

Exactly why you all wanna bat atm?

 

[Paradox]

It is most probably stumps on Day 1. Light won't improve in this small space of time.

 

[iZeeshan]

Will match start on time tomorrow? Should I wake up at 5:30 AM?

 

[pakmania]

Cue the mass of threads !

 

[Rana]

Pakistani retarded mentality of not attacking the main batsman and giving him easy runs is alive and kicking in Afridi...this is absolutely in-excuseable even for a man of Afridi's mentality

Why do you want to bat tonight, weve done well for this score

 

[Paradox]

Hope the pitch is absolutely flat tomorrow morning, so we can Bolly/Hussey early and we can bat in 'good' conditions

 

[Strike!]

Should have given umar gul the last over like the commentator said. He would have had the pace and the swing to get bollinger out.

 

[Rana]

it is drizzling outside

 

[Desire]

well played boys. no need to get over the top and start celebrations. There is one wicket still left. veena malik will be proud of asif

 

[Sakss]

is it end of play?

 

[Paradox]

Katich played a super knock (regardless of being out when he was in single figures).

 

[Desire]

Will match start on time tomorrow? Should I wake up at 5:30 AM?

dont take a risk .. there are always highlights available at lunch time and tea time.

 

[CricnPak]

Good day of Test cricket. Good battle between bat and ball, and very competitive.

 

[Paradox]

lol, I predicted Australia would be 330 for 4 at stumps
