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

[hur rizvi]

Tim Paine what a legend. Completely destroyed the australians run rate, got Kaneria's confidence up, and now got Gul's up too, as well as the Australians losing another wicket.

What a performance Tim Paine.

give him a break he was making his debut under pretty difficult conditions

 

[Gollum]

This Smith dude must be good coming before Johnson.

 

[Sakss]

and here comes Piglet, he can bat! 56 avg. In FC!

lloll...)


From the NSW zoo

 

[uzy99]

Good job Gul

 

[hur rizvi]

steven smith has a FC average of 56

 

[Paradox]

Steven Smith playing as Australia's SOLE spinner in a TEST MATCH is almost as ridiculous as Cameron White who played as Australia's only spinner against India in the BG Trophy back in '08. White can't even bowl, atleast Smith can (a bit).

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

and here comes Piglet, he can bat! 56 avg. In FC!

Darrao nahin yaar!

 

[uzy99]

Smith looks like he's good defense. I think Kineria will get him

 

[adnan yasin]

one more wicket ... comeeeeeee on

 

[AZ]

smithy ,johnson, hifli,bolly shouldnt last for long

yeh insaanon ke naam hai ya kutton ke?

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Is gul setting smith up for an in dipper. Let's see

 

[saeed-sohail]

Aus no8 avgs 56 in FC cricket now thats ridiculous.

 

[siccric]

This Smith dude must be good coming before Johnson.

Averages over 50 in FC Cricket in Australia, I believe

 

[NorthStar]

Have not noticed Kamran today, so he must be having a good day.

 

[Paradox]

Smith scores his first Test run. On strike though.

 

[Oxy]

Solid defence from Smith - might be tricky for us

 

[ZAK]

 

[Oxy]

Smith OUT!


DK get shim

 

[WasimWaqarInzy]

Quite rich how Pakistani people, proud owners of Inzamam, Wajahatullah Wasti, Kaneria, Shoaib, Faisal etc can laugh at 'Piglet' Steven Smith.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Perfect ball !

 

[adnan yasin]

Wohooooooooooooo ... pigglet gone

danish took the wicket

 

[Big Mac]

Kaneria

 

[uzy99]

Told you guys. Got'em first ball

 

[Energy]

Leg spinner gets a leg spinner!

 

[Theo_14]

Kaneria finally takes a wicket! leg spinner to leg spinner and kaneria wins the battle indeed!

ooh, there was a slight edge there, oh well!

 

[pakbl10]

Yess
Danish gets one!

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Smith looks better than Marcus North, on cricinfo

 

[AZ]

Unlucky! Inside edge!

 

[hur rizvi]

LALa was spot on keeping kaneria on and he strikes

 

[NorthStar]

Kaneria gets his man, Rudi missed an inside edge.

 

[siccric]

And Kaneria is amongst the wickets

 

[pakmania]

Kaneria you beauty !!!

COME ON YOU MARKHORS !

Pakistan in control now.Steve Smith gone.

Aus 208-7

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

true. ) )

 

[Sakss]

aap sahi keh rahe the

 

[farsiddiqui]

Dinesh bhayya ki jai ho!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KANERIA IS BACKK !! Smith gone !!

 

[adnan yasin]

umpire favors pakistan.. bad decision

2-1 now ... in favor of australia still

 

[Khabri420]

Wannabe Warne doesn't last. Doesn't matter if he has 56 FC average

 

[Gollum]

Aus no8 avgs 56 in FC cricket now thats ridiculous.

It's too early since he has played only 13 games. His real average is going to be probably closer to his List A average around 40. Still damn good but not nearly as good as 56.

 

[Paradox]

DK gets Smith with a beauty! Inside edge though.. but still. I guess the errors of Clarke and Smith make up for the Katich appeal not given when he was in single figures?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Finally some luck.

 

[pak4life]

unlucky inside edge we deserve the luck had a few howlers in the morning

 

[uzy99]

Smith looks like he's good defense. I think Kineria will get him

you guys like my prediction?

 

[iZeeshan]

Well, if there was an inside edge, he got caught didn't he?

 

[Salman]

Smith was unlucky, was'nt out

 

[akamaka]

yessssssssss a decision that nullifies the katich decision.

 

[Oxy]

Smith looks better than Marcus North, on cricinfo

Exactly 1 run better

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hussey with tail....de ja vu?

 

[Paradox]

Afridi should come in and clean up the tail, starting from Hussey.

 

[pakmania]

Quite rich how Pakistani people, proud owners of Inzamam, Wajahatullah Wasti, Kaneria, Shoaib, Faisal etc can laugh at 'Piglet' Steven Smith.

Agreed.Stupid,ignorant and nasty nickname.

 

[MIG]

Unlucky! Inside edge!

for whom?

Remember what the Aussies always tell us ? Swings and roundabouts

 

[Theo_14]

Let's hope Amin and Ali don't have the same debut with the bat just like Smith.

 

[Poison]

Looked PLUMB to me first up, I think first slip caught it anyways.

 

[Salman]

Well, if there was an inside edge, he got caught didn't he?

it didn't carry

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KANERIA IS BACKK !! Smith gone !!

He is a domestic bully

 

[Big Mac]

Poor decision, in Gould's defence it's a hard knick to pick up even on the slow-mo replay

 

[pakmania]

Cor ! Kaneria really getting some zip.

 

[Khabri420]

Let's get Johnson quickly...we don't need him to play a Bollinger

 

[Seen Sheen]

Well, if there was an inside edge, he got caught didn't he?

nops,landed just short..

 

[D]

Well, if there was an inside edge, he got caught didn't he?

Yup!

Inside edge was taken cleanly by first slip.. So out either way - not unlucky really!

 

[Paradox]

And Smith didn't get out, didn't carry to slip.

MJ has always sucked against our spin (be it DK or Ajmal).

 

[ZAK]

Johnson gets off the mark.

 

[hur rizvi]

Steve smith was unlucky there


4 bad desicions


2 have gone PAkistans way and 2 have gone Australias way

 

[Oxy]

Poor decision, in Gould's defence it's a hard knick to pick up even on the slow-mo replay

In Gould's defence he wasnt umpire at the time

 

[uzy99]

Johnson is a pretty solid bad. And now I think Hussey will take over the strike.

 

[Energy]

From 170-2 to 211-7. Now that is a collapse!

 

[D]

Yup!

Inside edge was taken cleanly by first slip.. So out either way - not unlucky really!

My bad! It bounced.. not a catch! lol unlucky Smith I guess..

 

[Seen Sheen]

Let's get Johnson quickly...we don't need him to play a Bollinger

It was Siddle not Bolly who featured in that famous partnership!!,:akmal

 

[pakmania]

3

Well fielded for a poor delivery going down legside.

 

[hashbb]

How many more overs left or minutes?

 

[Gollum]

...............

 

[Rizie]

aamer should come back to clean it up

 

[Seen Sheen]

In Gould's defence he wasnt umpire at the time

 

[saeed-sohail]

One more pls.

 

[pakmania]

From 170-2 to 211-7. Now that is a collapse!

A collapse of Pakistani proportions !

 

[ZAK]

212/7

 

[hashmist]

Let's get Johnson quickly...we don't need him to play a Bollinger

I think you mean Siddle.

 

[Paradox]

Like I said a few hours ago - am I the only one here who feels this is going to be one epic Test match? Who else thinks so? I don't think this will be as one-sided for Australia as 99% of our Tests in recent times have been against them

 

[pakmania]

How many more overs left or minutes?

30 overs left but we might just play till 7pm.

 

[uzy99]

Like I said a few hours ago - am I the only one here who feels this is going to be one epic Test match? Who else thinks so? I don't think this will be as one-sided for Australia as 99% of our Tests in recent times have been against them

I hope you're right. I also hope that the match results in our favor.
