[WithLoveFromCanada]

[adnan yasin]

[hur rizvi]

Cmon guys we cant lose from here even if we are playing against australia.just one partnership n game is over.

Mate Scars of sydney are still fresh and this looks a repeat of it ..........

 

[iRfaN_LA]

It appears that captaincy took its toll on BUTT. Meanwhile, good shot from Farhat.

 

[cricfan967]

Ohh. What was that about dougy?

 

[azlotia]

good running

 

[adnan yasin]

flick of the hips by son in law

couple more taken ..

144 needed only

 

[cricfan967]

Good running. 2 runs

 

[Seen Sheen]

Farhat is looking in good touch..Hitting sweet spot mostly...!!

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

It has been happening for a while now
Salman Butt scores more than 30-35 runs..Pakistan doesnt win.
Butts scores less, and we win.

Just saying xD

Hope we win

 

[Strike!]

Good running.

 

[pak4life]

farhat is just a walking wicket hope he proves me wrong. lets hope watson does not bowl!

 

[MoinHaroon]

Come on Pakistan. Win this win take your revenge!!!
Hope Hope

 

[iRfaN_LA]

144 more to go.

 

[MoinHaroon]

They need to finish it tonight, they do not want to bat in the morning

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

We're bound to finish it today ...look at the run rate..never came down below 5 since over 1.

 

[adnan yasin]

180 runs ... should be distributed by 7 batsman

26 runs each .. butt scored 13 runs .. remaining 13 should be score by farhat

 

[Seen Sheen]

Mate Scars of sydney are still fresh and this looks a repeat of it ..........

Would you for the love of God stop posting this crap about Sydney test....

I am tired of you mentioning about that test in almost every post...

 

[azlotia]

looking at the hours of play since the last 2 days, its just about over an hour to bat this evening....if we can last that with maybe 1 more wicket down...we are definitely going to win this...

 

[iZeeshan]

It appears that captaincy took its toll on BUTT. Meanwhile, good shot from Farhat.

One bad innings and we have to bear comments like that.

Jeez.

Pakistan easily on top here.

Really want us to win it today

 

[MoinHaroon]

It has been happening for a while now
Salman Butt scores more than 30-35 runs..Pakistan doesnt win.
Butts scores less, and we win.

Just saying xD

Hope we win

Hope that is the case

 

[uzy99]

Need to get this lead down to double digits

 

[adnan yasin]

couple of solid drives straight to mid off ..

by azhar ali

 

[hur rizvi]

Two good shots by Azhar for no Run

 

[MoinHaroon]

No wonder what happens, Pakistan will make it interesting

 

[Pak_Power]

farhat is just a walking wicket hope he proves me wrong. lets hope watson does not bowl!

or North

 

[azlotia]

azhar ali giving johnson some fielding drills

 

[adnan yasin]

once again straight to mid off by azhar ali

 

[uzy99]

Azhar Ali is getting set up here

 

[MoinHaroon]

Someone tell Shane Warne to stop talking, Murali is the king

 

[iZeeshan]

Still don't understand how Steve Smith scored 77

 

[adnan yasin]

finally he score.. but on on side .

couple of runs taken ...

 

[MoinHaroon]

Shot ball coming

 

[saeed-sohail]

Nerves are kicking in.Told my wife I am not moving from my sofa no matter what.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Still don't understand how Steve Smith scored 77

Dani Bhai - Our loser bowler

 

[akamaka]

All the pessimists should create another thread and put their negative views over there. If u dont think ur team can then why support them at all.

 

[uzy99]

Hope Azhar Ali realizes that he they are giving him easy deliveries to score off of and when he finds the fielder, he'll be tempted to get more aggressive.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

If somebody comes and say to you right now that we're going to win this game today....what will do you to him/her?

 

[adnan yasin]

142 runs needed only

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Whats the weather like?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Good news guys

Runs reqd. per wicket just came down from 16 to 15.

 

[azlotia]

Dani Bhai - Our loser bowler

dani definitely needs to make way for Ajmal in the next test...he hasnt shown anything that warrants him being in the team

 

[MoinHaroon]

Does someone know the scorecard at Sydney?

 

[adnan yasin]

gentle push towards cover ... single taken

by farhat

141 needed only

 

[Seen Sheen]

Another worrying thing about Azhar is that he cant seem to find gaps when he plays his strokes...

 

[MoinHaroon]

dani definitely needs to make way for Ajmal in the next test...he hasnt shown anything that warrants him being in the team

Totally agreed but he will play against England

 

[uzy99]

All the pessimists should create another thread and put their negative views over there. If u dont think ur team can then why support them at all.

We are not pessimists. We don't say positive stuff so we don't jinx ourselves. So negative attitude is the way to go.

 

[adnan yasin]

Does someone know the scorecard at Sydney?

forget the past ... live in present

 

[Seen Sheen]

Nerves are kicking in.Told my wife I am not moving from my sofa no matter what.

Even if she wants to sit with you...

Very harsh of you...!!!

 

[asifp]

Another worrying thing about Azhar is that he cant seem to find gaps when he plays his strokes...

yeah but he looks a lot better playing his strokes then he does letting his bat hang out there looking for the edge.

 

[azlotia]

azhar ali needs to put his bat down when ducking the short ball....has to learn from the mistake Amin made in the 1st innings

 

[hur rizvi]

Aussies are really pumped up ........

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan was 4-36 at Sydney so they are ahead here

 

[asifp]

3 more there you go boys.

I hope we win today, cant leave this to tomorrow.

 

[Desi]

steady boiz

 

[hur rizvi]

42/1


We need Azhar to stick out there

 

[uzy99]

Sweet. 3 runs

 

[Seen Sheen]

3 runs for Azhar...Again his timing or the lack of it meant that ball just couldnt reach the boundary...!!

 

[MoinHaroon]

80 for 1 and we are the winners

 

[whyhkk]

What is the weather like? From cricinfo the pitch sounds like a Pakistani flat track.

 

[azlotia]

so are we

 

[MoinHaroon]

Shut up Shane!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Pakistan was 4-36 at Sydney so they are ahead here

Wrong....
Pak were 50 odd for 1...

 

[mrk]

Dani Bhai - Our loser bowler

yaar player like smith have never scored before ? There are many player who have faced that...

Pakistan team is young and dont have that experince + they dont play test that often as other do.

Bowlers have done VERYYYY well . when was last time some one bowled Austalia for 88 ?

 

[Desi]

should have been wide

 

[MoinHaroon]

Azhar is better than the two Y's atleast he did not get out right away in tense situation

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Aussies are really pumped up ........

30-40 more runs from this partnership and it wil ALL change.. fingers crossed !

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

any runs these two get are bonus....playing with tail enders is not easy and especially when you have coming as an opener. so we should be happy on every run they're getting.

 

[MoinHaroon]

You are correct I was wrong they were 1-50

 

[MoinHaroon]

So we are not ahead

 

[d0gers]

3 runs for Azhar...Again his timing or the lack of it meant that ball just couldnt reach the boundary...!!

Maybe Ponting getting a hand to it had something to do with it.

 

[MoinHaroon]

and 77 for 5

 

[asifp]

the cloud cover better stay away.

its a batting paradise at the moment
