Pakistan v Australia | Second Test | Day 3: Session 2/3 | Leeds | 22/07/10

[WithLoveFromCanada]

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

WRONG!

we were 76-4 in Sydney.

 

[saeed-sohail]

MJ on.

 

[Desi]

Azhar Ali reminds me a bit of Ijaz. Anyone else getting this too? Technique isn't perfect, lots of bottom hand in his strokes, but gets the job done via a strong mentality.

 

[hur rizvi]

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

No mate we were 50/1 at one stage

 

[uzy99]

Is there anyone else here who's heart rate has gone up since we started batting?

 

[MoinHaroon]

As long as watson does not bowl we are ok

 

[azlotia]

the cloud cover better stay away.

its a batting paradise at the moment

plus, if the light stays good, it means we can carry on till 6:30 atleast...lets just hope the sun keeps on shining on pakistan

 

[Seen Sheen]

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

dont think he got a hand to it or did he?
But you could clearly see his bottom hand came off and the bat tilted in his hand when he completed that stroke...

 

[MoinHaroon]

No mate we were 50/1 at one stage

You are correct

 

[azlotia]

Is there anyone else here who's heart rate has gone up since we started batting?

my heart rate hasnt gone down since the last 3 days....what a gr8 test match this has been so far

 

[iZeeshan]

Where there any really bad decisions today?

 

[MoinHaroon]

77 for 1 and we are set, 22 more to go

 

[iRfaN_LA]

[azlotia]

Ali getting frustrated as he cannot get his drives past the infield

 

[MoinHaroon]

Salman is relaxed at wrong time, he should have been relaxed when he was batting

 

[iZeeshan]

Hope Farhat scores a 100, would love that

And that Umar Amin scores the winning runs

 

[eViLrAcEr]

[bobwoolmersarmy]

Pakistan ZindaBAD

 

[Seen Sheen]

Azhar is definitely looking very positive out there...

Driving the ball nicely.....

 

[NorthStar]

Azhar loves them straight drives.

 

[hur rizvi]

Nice to see Butt smiling they need to make whole dressing room smile ..........

 

[mrk]

If we win by 8 9 wickets it will be VERYY good for our young team. And if Azhar Ali / Umir Amin are part of that it will be good for them too.

Azhar ali looking VERYY relax.

ball tampering ?

 

[hamzie]

surprised watson hasnt been given the ball yet

 

[Romali_rotti]

OMG I just saw Hillfenhaus scratching the seam with Ponting and Bollinger by his side

 

[d0gers]

You are not alone my friend. Im at work and nervous as hell...

Welcome to the club.

I also only have this thread and Cricinfo commentary to follow the action.

Every time the score update gets stuck I fear for the worst.

You must be mistaken. The Aussie lads do not indulge in that kinda of stuff. Wondeful sportsmen they are. Please get your eyes checked.

 

[hur rizvi]

SYDNEY 51/3

HEADINGLY 51/1

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hahha same here... But Pakistan will level the series this time Inshallah!

 

[Amjid Javed]

125 needed to win.

We need a 70-80 partenship between two batsmen to get us close here!

 

[hashmist]

OMG! This is very stressful. Part of me doesn't want to watch any of it and just find out tomorrow if we won or lost. But I find myself keep coming back to it. Too much!

 

[Romali_rotti]

was there ball tempering there??!

If scratching the seam is ball tampering, then YES!!!!!!!!!

 

[Boi]

Azhar survives. If it wasn't for the nick on the thigh pad Paine would have been in there with a chance for the catch.

 

[Noman]

Farhat are looking loss now

 

[Gollum]

Man Rudi was almost ready to give that out...LOL

 

[cricfan967]

phew! thought that was out

 

[Noman]

farhat will be walking to much around the crease

 

[mrk]

Dani Bhai - Our loser bowler

Credit to Paine to not apeal.... I bet Kamran would

 

[Warfare]

Why do you have Dani in there

Because he got the wicket of Paine and Hilfenhaus?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

No mate we were 50/1 at one stage in Sydney

This match is so like sydney...

We are chasing 180 ..4 runs more than what we were chasing in Sydney.

We are 50/1...we were 50/1 that day as well.

We had farhat the turd in the team ...we have him today...

We were 76-4 ...we are going towards that...

I was doing runs required per wicket that day..I'm doing that today as well...

 

[amar1212]

risky shot there

 

[hamzie]

Umpire cuts the ball - farhat cuts it for 4

 

[Seen Sheen]

Azhar survives. If it wasn't for the nick on the thigh pad Paine would have been in there with a chance for the catch.

Bakwass...

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

:aamir drinks Drench

So Do I Now

 

[mrk]

[Amjid Javed]

59/1

 

[NorthStar]
