Pakistan v Australia | First Test | Day 4: Session 1 | Lords | 16/07/10

[siccric]

Umar Akmal is shuffling again...

 

[adnan yasin]

238 needed only

 

[dinakar]

c'mon Johnson, get a wicket!!! finish them off!!!

 

[MIG]

Pak seem to be in a hurry at the moment - "koyee train jarahee hai jiya?"

 

[adnan yasin]

johnson expensive in his first over of this spell

 

[mrk]

Just love to watch Umar Amin. VERYYYY VERYY SOLID BATSMEN. I remeber watched him in RBS and said he can play for Pakistan and now he is.

There were few others too i hope PCB get them in Pak A.

 

[iZeeshan]

To be completely honest, in retrospect, so far, we've played very well to try and win it

As long as there's no super collapse, I'll be happy even if we lose

Just want to see some fight, and it's been there so far

202-3

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Need some magic from these two.

 

[Desire]

umar akmal is the hope... he is standing between aus and victory .

 

[ads101]

Why did Afridi not come in before umar?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 202/3

Both Umars playing well here!

 

[Rana]

i fear, pakistan needed a bit of depth in this line up, the tail is kak!

 

[iZeeshan]

Can someone post the link of that match in which South Africa chased 414

I want to see how the partnerships from that game went

 

[ali_ed2006]

Umar Akmal really needs to control his fancy shots.

 

[akamaka]

haha..shot umer....needs to be careful here...
umer loves mithci for some reason

I dont think mitchi feels the same way about him.

 

[iZeeshan]

Why did Afridi not come in before umar?

Because two Umars together makes for a good story

 

[Amjid Javed]

Why did Afridi not come in before umar?

Erm because Umar is our best batsmen and is more reliable and will probably show more responsibility!

couldnt agree more.

 

[mrk]

c'mon Johnson, get a wicket!!! finish them off!!!

jalne ki badbu a rae he...

 

[adnan yasin]

Pak seem to be in a hurry at the moment - "koyee train jarahee hai jiya?"

thas the way umar akmal play .. NATURAL

 

[TheρaKaraBrocKer]

Need a century from both of these two at the crease now, we can't depend on two strokemakers (Kamran and Afridi) afterwards to make more than 100 for us.

Super shot by Umar.

How much can we expect from the last four, the tail-enders.? About 50 I guess.

 

[Sakss]

umer is the only test player to get a pair of 49 in a match...

sme kinda record..

 

[Rana]

This is i=one of the best innings we have had from a batting perspective after quite a long time now

 

[iZeeshan]

Umar Akmal really needs to control his fancy shots.

He's not going to. That's how he plays, and we need him to play his natural game

If he gets off, then that's amazing

If he doesn't, then that sucks for us, but if he tries to play an unnatural game, he'll get out to an even stupider shot

 

[Oxy]

c'mon Johnson, get a wicket!!! finish them off!!!

Steady....

 

[hur rizvi]

Really need u akmal to make runs today ....

 

[siccric]

202-3

Me too - very happy with how we're going about with our batting effort


Even if we come close, I'll be very happy


Challenging Australia with such a young inexperienced side is an achievement on its own

 

[adzzy786]

Afridi sort of player who'll try finish the game in half n hour lol

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

To come:

Afridi
Kamran
Amir
Gul
Danny
Asif

 

[Energy]

Paul Allot saying Afridi is a sort of player who can win you the game in half an hour.
Gives me hope.

 

[Oxy]

6!

Akmal

North put in his place

 

[ZAK]

to :umarakmal

 

[iZeeshan]

How much can we expect from the last four, the tail-enders.? About 50 I guess.

I haven't even counted them in my predictions after Butt got out. If we was batting with the tail then yeah we could have expected 50-70, but none of the remaining batsmen can bat with the tail

 

[adnan yasin]

down the track .. 666666666666 by Junior VIV

 

[mrk]

i was waiting for that. i just knew.... Good shoot.

Warne defending Afridi batting

 

[hur rizvi]

Shabash umar .... Take butts revenge

 

[Eagle_Eye]

As predicted... Junior comes down to hit the 6

 

[iZeeshan]

My stream is so behind!

My cricket's being ruined

 

[Sakss]

shot :6



shabaash


dehan se boy

 

[ZAK]

1 to Akmal.

 

[Rana]

relax dude!

 

[ZAK]

209/3

 

[jattafridi]

umar akmal 6

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Just a mere 238 needed folks!

 

[iZeeshan]

SIX for Akmal

Please, please don't get out

I love you

 

[ads101]

Erm because Umar is our best batsmen and is more reliable and will probably show more responsibility!

I'd rather Afridi come in so he could last till lunch (as umar should be saved as he's the more valuable batsman). If umar akmal lasts till lunch, when they resume play again after lunch there's a higher risk of getting out.

Afridi really should be able to bat responsibly, he's the captain for goodness sake, lol.

 

[Desire]

does umar akmal know what a "fear" is???

 

[adnan yasin]

Beautiful lady in the crowd enjoyed that six

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

GET IN!!!
fetch that fella!

 

[iZeeshan]

209/3

231 to win

 

[D]

6 for Akmal!

Yaar Umar araam se khel. Tension ho jaati hai.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

209/3
60 gone.

 

[iZeeshan]

Need to maar Mitch

Need to demoralize these Aussies

 

[adnan yasin]

lol.... that guy is sleeping and that six didnt even wake him up

 

[Energy]

What was the guy doing behind the ropes. He could have got killed!

 

[akamaka]

damn umar akmal is scaring me, enthralling me, attacking the bowlers and still keeping the score going. Now thats an achievement.

 

[iZeeshan]

Amin knows how to handle the new ball right?

Yeah.

 

[Oxy]

Imagine that hits the groundsman!!!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Michael Clarke, the vice-captain, has a chat with Johnson

 

[hur rizvi]

Shabash umar ..

 

[adnan yasin]

231 needed only

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Junior shuffling across to much again... steady mate...

 

[Strike!]

That sleeping guy. )

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Mitch to akmal jr...lets see what happens.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Can someone post the link of that match in which South Africa chased 414

I want to see how the partnerships from that game went

link - http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64027.html

W.I chased 418 v Aussies

Partnerships were 48,2,24,91,123,0,84,46*

link - http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/351681.html

S.A run chase 414 v Aussies

Partnerships were 19, 151,7,124, 111*

 

[siccric]

) @ sleeping man

U. Akmal is throwing the kitchen sink at everything. I might have a heart attack before Lunch

 

[Vegitto1]

Johnson bowling nice!!! Great!

 

[iZeeshan]

I thought someone yelled catch it and he jumped and he caught

*heart in mouth* or as someone said yesterday, balls in mouth

 

[uzy99]

We can't play crazy shots. We still have a chance. So long as proper batsmen are out there, we still have a chance

 

[Paradox]

Umar playing with fire..

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

10 min to lunch. Akmal Jr. needs to play sensibly now.

 

[hur rizvi]

Umar be careful ..........

 

[adnan yasin]

Umar akmal fearless cricket looks goood .. but at this point looking scary..

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Nice bowling here by johnson.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

23 runs partnership now

So basically Pakistan would need another two 100+ Partnerships here to get close!

 

[ZAK]

Maiden.

 

[Rudi hater]

Well batted Butt, i can see game ending pretty briskly and tamely now!

Sometime you go OTT man. Chill out its was never going to be easy anyway, its near impossible to get that total. Lets see how close they get. if everyone get a 50 then we should be ok or get close enough.

 

[Energy]

Maiden from MJ.

 

[jattafridi]

umar akmal trying to gift his wicket who wants it
