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

[MAJID-SHAH]

Is it drinks break?

yes.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need another 100 partnership here!

 

[adnan yasin]

For the next test i say drop farhat, promote azhar to open and bring in hameed at 3.

I AGREE.. but for the remaining next 4 test matches against england as well

if u need to establish an opening pair

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Sun could you come back please!

 

[akamaka]

Mark my words, if Butt gets 170+

We're winning

marked!

 

[adnan yasin]

but tempted to cut the ball way outside offstump give it a second thought

n left it ..

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Not fishing I see. Improvement in one match. :'( Beautiful lol

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan need another 100 partnership here!

Already 1/10th of the way there

Seriously, Amin has got to get a 50+ score

Please show us what you're all about

Not going to lie, for a brief moment, I wished Yousuf was coming in at number 4, but then I realized he'd get out in 10 balls anyway

Drinks breaks are dangerous for Pak

let's hope they get through them

 

[adnan yasin]

brilliant cover drive by butt . but straight clarke

 

[AZ]

cant we say jal tu jalal tu aswell ?

Not more than once, please.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Pakistan need another 100 partnership here!

If that happens Pakistan will surely win. I have a feeling this partnership will break soon.

Damn Australian fielding!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Butt.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Watson to continue.....salman to face.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need a solid hours batting here till lunch with out losing any more wickets!

 

[adnan yasin]

this time off drive by butt .. nicely fielded by johnson at mid off .. single taken ..

 

[Energy]

Single to Butt.

 

[Oxy]

Impressed with Butt's shot selection - like how he's been playing to his strengths - like cutting & not driving the ball outside off

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan need a solid hours batting here till lunch with out losing any more wickets!

till tea would be nice

Lunch is a given

Nice drive by Butt for one

Amin on strike

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Driven towards mid-off for one, amin to face.

 

[classic]

aaiee bla ko taal tu....yes you can

 

[Amjid Javed]

If that happens Pakistan will surely win. I have a feeling this partnership will break soon.

Damn Australian fielding!

Pakistan will need another two 100+ Partnerships if they are even to get close here!

280 or so is alot of runs to get!

Pakistans average 2nd inns score in last nine tests is 263!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Amin.

 

[adnan yasin]

I hope BUTT SCORE a CENTURY and dont loose concentration after that .. normally players loose their concentration after scoring a century

 

[AZ]

nicely clipped through square leg, Amin looking decent.

 

[Vegitto1]

marked!

Mark my words that if we make 276 more runs we will win!


Jal Tu Jalal Tu Aayi Bala Ko Taal Tu

 

[Amjid Javed]

till tea would be nice

Lunch is a given

Nice drive by Butt for one

Amin on strike

We have to just bat session by session!

 

[Energy]

166/2 - 52 overs.

 

[Oxy]

Rain

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Good stuff, keeping the scoreboard ticking.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Salman Butt: 92 from 167.

60 runs from fours ;D

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wonder if Smith will be given another twirl?

 

[Sakss]

damn rain..plz go away

 

[AZ]

Afridi looking at the sky

 

[adnan yasin]

good ball ... scary leave by umin

 

[classic]

salmaan must try and think of getting a double hundred on this wicket ..

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

tori se barish lage hai.

 

[Strike!]

Amin is struggling.

 

[adnan yasin]

Johnson getting ready to bowl the next over ?? i guess

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Doug the rug to bowl, amin to face.

 

[ZAK]

3 to Amin.

 

[iZeeshan]

Amin doesn't look good

Whatever if he can get stuck in for a 50 partnership he'll have done his jon

 

[Sakss]

shot amin....

 

[adnan yasin]

worked of the pads by umin .. couple of runs taken

271 needed only

 

[AZ]

good running, Amin picks up 3.

 

[Energy]

Amin is struggling.

I wont call it 'struggling'. Its just nerves, but he is playing well.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

274 more to win----8 wickets in the tank.

 

[Sakss]

when will smith bowl,,,

 

[mrk]

now with these weather ball will not swing same happend to Pakistan bowling

 

[iZeeshan]

Nicely off the pads, should give him some confidence

 

[adnan yasin]

good bouncer by bollinger.. nice left it by butt

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Why does Amin get so squared on... Nerves maybe?

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

when will smith bowl,,,

why you want smith to bowl??

 

[adnan yasin]

when will smith bowl,,,

Weak bowler is alwayz dangerous for pakistan

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Amin slightly tentative out there, a touch of nerves perhaps?

 

[dblock]

Why does Amin get so squared on... Nerves maybe?

Technique maybe??

 

[adzzy786]

hes setting him up

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Butt has become the player he always threatened to be.... world class.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

a 100 partnership here will do for Pakistan..

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Nice bouncer from the rug!

 

[Energy]

hes setting him up

Butt upto the challenge so far!

 

[AZ]

Bollinger bowling some rapid stuff...

 

[iZeeshan]

Amin should try a pull shot

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Umar Amin has the golden opportunity like Azhar Ali

 

[Sakss]

hauritz is much better than smith...

smith is only in the team coz of his batting tbh

 

[Energy]

Rain gets heavier.

 

[adnan yasin]

too many short balls in that over by bolly ..

Frustrated or what?

 

[akbarc1]

Rain getting heavier and they're coming off

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

sensible battimg req...

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Dot to end the over there......169/2

 

[iZeeshan]

So if Butt gets out just after a 100, will we say well played or blame him for not continuing on?

 

[ZAK]

Rain stopped play.

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh no! Rain interrupts game

This will **** up everything.

 

[Sakss]

[bobwoolmersarmy]

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Rain getting heavier and they're coming off

[MAJID-SHAH]

[dblock]

[ZAK]

And the rain has stopped now

 

[akbarc1]

Rain stopped and the players come back on

 

[Sparhawk]

Hope the ball doesnt start moving
