Pakistan v Australia | First Test | Day 4: Session 2 | Lords | 16/07/10

[COMEBACKID]

nope 289 is good enough for us were happy with giving north a 6th wicket next match i expect north to take 2 5fas in the next test and watson too and i want the batsman to give him the easy wickets

 

[pak4life]

6 wickets for North what a joke!

 

[pinger]

show me a SIX

And that is why you guys will continue to dissapoint in tests, you are valuing the wrong things, the big hits, the yorkers etc.

 

[sarmad1983]

i guess Usman Khuwaja wont be making his test debut against pakistan in next test match...... North star leading the way for the firangees my friends....

 

[OZGOD]

Gratz to North for his sixfer, hopefully it doesn't save his spot in the team though. Not bad for Smiffy to get 3fer on debut.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Joke performance after butt and ali. Shameful.

 

[don1990]

batting is absoultely a shame...

[farsiddiqui]

Afridi should not be in the test team. Hes batting and bowling are both innefective in this format. Should be replaced immediately. Atleast the idiot should so some responsibility. Enough is enough of this loser.

Is Salman Butt ready for captaincy? If so, I'm all for replacing Afridi with Fawad.

 

[OZGOD]

Bob Willis: "Shahid Afridi's innings of 4 balls was an absolute joke"

Was it that bad?

 

[COMEBACKID]

not even going to the 5th day

 

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi in tests will be short lived. Cant see him last long in this format. He should of never come out of retirement in this format. We can safely say we did not miss afridi at all in the last 4 years in this form of the game

"Shahid Afridi's innings of 4 balls for 2 runs was just an absolute joke" - Bob Willis

 

[Friend786]

why do i expect them to fight ? i feel like crying !

 

[Rana]

such a shame, we really tried this time.

It was pretty bad- it looked like he rather be washing his car elsewhere.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Bob Willis: "Shahid Afridi's innings of 4 balls was an absolute joke"

Was it that bad?

He played 4 balls, made a streaky 2 and got caught on the boundary with his team chasing 440 .. you tell me!!

 

[Veteran]

Bob Willis: "Shahid Afridi's innings of 4 balls was an absolute joke"

Was it that bad?

Totally the wrong approach in the circumstances. Justified rash shots from other batsmen.

 

[shaaan]

Is Salman Butt ready for captaincy? If so, I'm all for replacing Afridi with Fawad.

I agree..also drop farhat move azhar to open with butt and bring in either YK or MoYo

 

[COMEBACKID]

younis khan come back were are you............... we need you

Mohammad yousaf come back i will pay for you ticket and hotel and match fee just come lol

 

[ace4rmspace]

We could have won this one you know ... *glug glug glug*

 

[Uzzy]

And people deny that our batting is Bangladesh like?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Is Salman Butt ready for captaincy? If so, I'm all for replacing Afridi with Fawad.

Im in favour of that. Butt should captain next match and bring in Fawad and also yasir Hammed in for farthead. Action must be taken immediately. Enough of these twits. No shame whatsoever. I feel sorry for the paying public.

 

[aqeelPK]

bat well against north, clarke, fartson, hussey, n bowl well at hilffy, bollinger,n johnson in next game.hopefully things will improve.

 

[COMEBACKID]

Why do you want to change captain after every match what is wrong with you lot man what if butt is captain and gets out on ducks then who you want to make captian ijaz butt

 

[the Great Khan]

Watson and north?? Pakistan are now officially a joke test side..bunch of clowns..akmal junior even looks like one these days..we should now ban butt and afridi and get some 15 yr old pp favourite to open..actually we should get fans to decode the team...where are the bring back mr Sania threads?? surprised anwaar malik isn't here with his entourage ready to welcome his pir back!!

 

[Friend786]

 

[chui_kadoo]

The point is that afridi doesnt know the meaning of responsibilty. He just gifts his wicket away. In tests thats a cardinal sin. His bowling is just trash in tests. he should stick to 20/20 and ODI's

 

[Romali_rotti]

I just saw the highlights, Umar Amin wasnt out, unlucky..

 

[adarsh_bang]

"In the first innings Pakistan collapsed to Shane Watson. In the second innings Pakistan collapsed to part time offspinner North," says Abdullah. "In the next test match Pakistan will collapse to Simon Katich and Michael Clarke."

 

[Pakipride19]

I feel for Salman Butt, I really do, he puts in all that effort, hard work and concentration, same to for Ali and Amin, and then Afridi comes in and plays like an absolute idiot, and really showed no respect for the team, even Farhat as well to an extent the way he got out. Afridi really needs to take a long look at himself because at the moment our tail starts at 5 down.


Also, as for Amin and Ali, I thought they were solid on debut and in time they'll start converting these 30s and 40s to hundreds hopefully but they'll be better off with the experience, and I think we should stick with them for the future. Hats off to the bowlers as well they did pretty good, just needed to clean up the tail quicker.

 

[hashmist]

Pakistan cricket is a joke. Top to bottom. No leadership. No planning. No guidance for youngsters. No fighting spirit. Nothing. We need a miracle to happen. We need a savior. The only possible way is to have Ijaz Butt removed and the job to be given to Ehsan Mani, who can bring in some common sense to this joke organization. As much as I am a fan of Afridi's aggressive nature as captain, he does not justify a place in the test team. YK has to be brought back and given the capatincy. I know its musical charis, but he should never have been removed from test capatincy.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The only good signs coming out of Pak's 2nd innings batting is Azhar Ali and Umar Amin - The way they approached the game were patient, I didnt get to see any of Umar Amin's batting as I watched upto Azhar Ali's dismissal who got a jaffa from Hilfy. These 2 need to be persisted with for the summer and the likes of Farhat and perhaps Malik do need to stay out!

"In the first innings Pakistan collapsed to Shane Watson. In the second innings Pakistan collapsed to part time offspinner North," says Abdullah. "In the next test match Pakistan will collapse to Simon Katich and Michael Clarke."

or even ponting

i dont know why pakistan batting **** in thier pants against average australia bowling just because theya er called "Australia"

 

[Pak_Power]

Afridi to retire from test matches after next match!

 

[aqeelPK]

Well, we are hearing news from the ground (not fully confirmed at the moment) that Shahid Afridi has just told Jim Maxwell on radio that the Headingley Test will be his last. (cricinfo)
get ready for start of yet another rebuilding process

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Butt Man of the Match!

 

[OZGOD]

How did Krapich get MoM??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How did Krapich get MoM??

2 fifty plus scores in the game so on that basis perhaps!

 

[OZGOD]

What are the Pakistan team getting medals for btw? Does anyone know?

 

[hashmist]

Afridi retiring from tests? Are you freaking kidding me?? Thats it, you quit? What a joke? This team is full of quitters. What happened to fighting your way out of it. What happened to trying harder the next time? WTH???

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

Another quitter , and its another phattan!!!!!! ,

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If he is going to quit might aswell do it after this game now why do it after the next one?!

 

[hashmist]

What happened to this being an honor for you? How fickle are these Pak players? Temperamental drama queens, all of them!!! One loss and I QUIT! Bunch of quitters, what a message to be sent to the youngsters, I feel for them.

 

[TruSachFan]

What are the Pakistan team getting medals for btw? Does anyone know?

for spirit of cricket and also for 13th straight loss against Australia

 

[Brainiac]

Afridi should bever have been made captain in the first place. It did nothing for Pakistan crickets credability, Actually it made it worse.

)

 

[OZGOD]

Shane Warne just made some really good points about how Pakistan's woeful first innings was really where they lost the game, because after that all the pressure was on Pakistan, and obviously pressure tells.

 

[TruSachFan]

Exactly. Majority of the test matches are won in the first innings.

P.S Look at how India Wins

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

I think we need to play a series against bangladesh, even then will struggle

 

[chui_kadoo]

looks like I was right. I said this morning that Aussies will wrap this up before tea

 

[Daytripped]

What are the Pakistan team getting medals for btw? Does anyone know?

Playing at Lord's..they make a big deal about tests at the home of cricket. they got leather bound copies of wisden...

 

[adarsh_bang]

if he had to nominate someone... why couldn't he nominate yk ???????????????????? aaaaaarghghg

 

[Fallen King]

Good to see the Lord is still offering medal..etc to both teams. This Test has been enjoyable throughout. Pakistan team also did well.

Mubarak ho bhaiyoun on our 13 straight test loss zilaat to aussies ! I knew with this batting lineup we will face yet another humiliating defeat. Salman butt looks like the only test batsman in the side !

Newcomers azhar ali and umar amin look good but it is unfair to expect them to play big innings whilst chasing target of 440. This was not their time to play in england against two best test sides in the world, australia and england. Younis, yousuf and fawad should not have been out of favour in the first place. In their absence we should have selected khurram manzoor got 70 something in his first test vs aussies in australia in 2009 series. Also people like asim kamal and hassan raza should not have been ignored.


When you leave out real test batsmen then expect nothing but humiliation.

It's high time farhat pack his playing kit and gets lost to some gymkhana club in pakistan. Yasir hameed deserves a second chance to pair up with salman butt from next test onwards.


Umar akmal needs to be spanked and told to spend more time in nets and told to demonstrate how he really should be batting in test match.
