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

[hur rizvi]

Aamer could easily have picked up 4 wkts had luck been on his side

 

[akamaka]

alright time to unsettle these guys, try some short pitched bowling as well, since our bowling has become too predictable.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

147/2

 

[ZAK]

147/2 after 39 overs.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

oh ffs....they`re really going for it now!

 

[NorthStar]

Not much happening for Kaneria, maybe we should give Imran's Furhat a go?

 

[Batman]

Australia | 2/147 | 39 Overs

9 off the over Australia going along nicely here. Partnership now 96.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Australia RR 3.76
Last 10 ovs 44/0 RR 4.40
Min overs remaining 44.0

 

[hur rizvi]

Real half tracker from LALA

 

[KingKhanWC]

Afridi on, short and pulled for four.

 

[On_the_up]

afridi slapped for four through mid wicket.

 

[Desire]

poor decision to bowl first. 9 out of 10 times you win the toss and bat first. 10th time you think about bowling first but decide to bat.

 

[ahmed16]

How can the statment: "He is scoring alot of 4's but no boundaries" be proved correct.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Afridi into the attack and introduced for .

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

katich on 56
clarke on 44

 

[Desire]

i smell 400

 

[Blitz]

How can the statment: "He is scoring alot of 4's but no boundaries" be proved correct.

Running 4s...

 

[On_the_up]

australia totally on top

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

150 up...151/2

 

[hur rizvi]

Welcome back to test cricket LALA

 

[On_the_up]

crap ball again another four

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

afridi already gone for 12!

 

[Desire]

if it continues like this.. it will be 350 today

 

[ahmed16]

Afridi looks like a sheep being given for slaughter. The billi ka bakra.

 

[muchacho]

just wondering, is the UDRS being used for the series?

 

[iZeeshan]

This is becoming awful to watch

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

158/2

 

[Rudi hater]

Thats no a poor decision if Pakistan had batted first they would have been in all out by tomorrow morning. We got to ball in the right areas and hope the luck goes our way. To start off with umpiring needs to be spot on.

 

[Sakss]

lala getting smacked

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

158/2 40 gone...........

 

[KingKhanWC]

Amin, top short leg, knows just when to duck. )

Poor over.

 

[On_the_up]

260 should be enough for gating a first inns lead as far as australia are concerned

 

[ahmed16]

Running 4s...

Got it, thanks.

 

[insaftak]

crap bowling by afridi

 

[ZAK]

Asif to bowl now.

 

[don1990]

Welcome back to test cricket LALA

 

[imshally81]

[On_the_up]

asif back

 

[Batman]

Australia | 2/158 | 40 Overs

Afridi himself into the attack and getting expensive. 103 partnership for these two now.

 

[hur rizvi]

just wondering, is the UDRS being used for the series?

Had UDRS been used katich khalu should have been back in the 3rd over of the day

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Asif on.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Australia RR 3.95
Last 10 ovs 46/0 RR 4.60
Min overs remaining 43.0

 

[Desire]

no worry.. learning tour

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

asif comes on to bowl............

 

[*syed59*]

What the heck is this Asifs' speed............... SO f***g awful and painful to watch.

 

[On_the_up]

just wondering, is the UDRS being used for the series?

you need to ask? after the katich non dismissal?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

asif 0/34 thus far

 

[ahmed16]

Here we go Mohammad "Line an length" Asif back on.

 

[iZeeshan]

anyone noticed that Asif changed his action?

 

[uzy99]

we could've used the UDRS today

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Partnership 110.

 

[siccric]

Not looking good for Pakistan.

 

[hur rizvi]

no worry.. learning tour

Learning tour for asif , gul and kaneria?????

 

[Dr. Khan]

Halwa bowler is back

 

[akamaka]

no worry.. learning tour

Guess have an excuse for these 6 test matches.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Why has Asif changed his action?

 

[hur rizvi]

anyone noticed that Asif changed his action?

Yes he has and has lost some more pace

 

[RehanG]

no worry.. learning tour

we are saying this from last 10 years and will be saying in coming 100 years.

 

[Poison]

Pretty flat wicket, have been awfully unlucky with some pretty poor umpiring and on the whole we've bowled pretty decently.

Rain dance time

 

[Dr. Khan]

Learning tour for asif , gul and kaneria?????

thats funny, learning tour for the most experienced bowlers.
looks like only Aamir came to england to bowl

 

[iZeeshan]

I don't understand why Asif changed his action

It's not like he wasn't doing well

 

[*syed59*]

Even if those 78mph deliveries somehow find the outside edge, they might not carry simply because of the SLOW speed.

 

[On_the_up]

lords isn't easy for bowlers who have never bowled there before. only kaneria had bowled there before in a test I think.

 

[hur rizvi]

exactly

 

[*syed59*]

I don't understand why Asif changed his action

It's not like he wasn't doing well

maybe Waqar is behind it.

 

[Batman]

Australia | 2/163 | 41 Overs

Mohammad Asif back into the attack, 5 off the over.

 

[IMMY69]

lords isn't easy for bowlers who have never bowled there before. only kaneria had bowled there before in a test I think.

Gul, Kaneria and Afridi...

 

[Vegitto1]

I am liking this, as things go a bit rough all the pessimists are crawling out of the wood work. Don't be running away when "YOUR" country loses a few wickets to MINE!

 

[iZeeshan]

Can't believe Afridi was stupid enough to bowl first

There's NOTHING in it

We would get murdered on Day 5

 

[akamaka]

Guys, we haven't bowled that badly, last 7-8 the bowlers have been hit for fours. But still they have constantly beaten the edge. Just needed luck to go our way so far it hasn't.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pak desperately needs a wicket.

 

[IMMY69]

Afridi needs to tighten up here...Better start to this over...

 

[iZeeshan]

maybe Waqar is behind it.

I guess, but it's clearly not working

 

[MIG]

btw, Simon Katich is my neighbours son in law! Will need to walk over there - hat in hand and offer congratulation if he scores a ton in this innings

 

[On_the_up]

clarke one boundary away from a well played fifty.

 

[hur rizvi]

LAla bowling well to clarke

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Why are they bowling into Katich's pads when were not playing LBW's?

 

[IMMY69]

maybe not!!!

As Allot said we are lacking a fourth bowler who can offer control...

 

[AZ]

another garbage delivery from Afridi.

 

[ZAK]

Afridi is bowling some pies atm.
