[fawad_wellwisher]

314/5 (102.3 Overs)

Umar Akmal out for 27 (84)

Fawad Alam 26 (54)

Im glad Alam is still there - Umar is guaranteed to play BUT Alam needs to impress here

Thanx

 

[90MPH]

Well at least he spent enough time in the middle to get some idea of the conditions.

 

[161]

disappointing stuff from umer .. he seems to be going backwards.

 

[Wazeeri]

I think once Akmal and Alam reach their 50s Pakistan needs to declare.

) ) ) )

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Not sure how weak the attack is in their home conditions. Geeves is next in line for an Aussie cap, Krejza has played Test cricket, Brendan Drew has played for Aus A. Pakistan should be very happy with the day's proceedings.

Especially given what is happening over in Perth.

Well not sure what you mean here?

Aussies are very likely win today.

 

[octavian]

i doubt they will. its all about batting practice. our bowling is fine

 

[90MPH]

disappointing stuff from umer .. he seems to be going backwards.

You really think so ?

 

[itduzz]

maar kamran maar

 

[octavian]

we need to get to 400 at least. it will be a good morale booster.

 

[sali]

So much for the test cricket!

Over 102.2: Drew to Akmal, SIX, picks it up off the pads and deposits over midwicket, strikes the fence on the full

84 ball 21 is good for everyone except Umer Akmal and Afridi. He is better off playing 50 ball 50.

 

[Digital]

Salams Guys...Com n Fawad

 

[161]

You really think so ?

i guess for now he should just go back to playing his natural game ... blast a quick 50 .. maybe close to 100 if he's lucky.

this batting slowly thing doesn't seem to work for him.

 

[Wazeeri]

this batting slowly thing doesn't seem to work for him.

He hit a six, the ball before he got out

 

[itduzz]

3 4's by Akmal in the over

 

[kkmix]

good luck to fawad alam.

 

[iafzal]

He hit a six, the ball before he got out

He has gotten out that way more then once. I recall him hitting Murli for 6 and thene got out hitting him out ofthe groung on the next ball.

 

[161]

He hit a six, the ball before he got out

that was just one ball .. the rest of his innings wasn't built like he likes it ... he had a strike rate of around 20.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Congrats to Krejza for giving up 100 runs

Bowlers O M R W Econ
JJ Krejza* 19.5 0 101 0 5.09

 

[saadjhussain]

Akmal senior going mad

 

[161]

yeah .. i doubt that australia will be producing spinning pitches.

 

[itduzz]

Fawad out

 

[161]

fawad gone too

thus far only butt has crossed 50 and that was after he was given multiple lives.

 

[J-Essence]

faWAD ka Wad out

 

[Juggernaut]

Kamran Akmal seems a better test than ODI player.

I'm not complaining.

 

[saadjhussain]

i think we know misbah will play ahead of fawad now. unfortunate

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Pretty much means the team that played the 3rd test will play.

 

[Random Aussie]

yeah .. i doubt that australia will be producing spinning pitches.

Sydney will turn, Melbourne will turn a bit.

 

[Juggernaut]

Farhat 32

Misbah 43

Umar Akmal 27

Fawad 33

All getting starts and not pushing on.

Not good enough really.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

^ Add Faisal 17 to the list

 

[itduzz]

Sydney will turn, Melbourne will turn a bit.

Hilfenhaus is fit or no

 

[saj001]

Sydney will turn, Melbourne will turn a bit.

Thats why pak should play spin twin in Sydney.

 

[saadjhussain]

if only malik played, he would have smashed a century like butt too in a warm up when it doesn't matter.

 

[saj001]

Over 113.6: Krejza to Akmal, SIX, down the track, smashed high over long off, another massive strike
Over 113.5: Krejza to Akmal, FOUR, smashes hard, ball skews off a thick outside edge over cover and out to the fence

 

[Random Aussie]

Hilfenhaus is fit or no

No idea, he is supposed to play grade cricket this weekend.

But would imagine one of Siddle or Hilfenhaus will be fit so they will come in for McKay. If they are both fit, Hilf will come in and Siddle would be 12th man.

Will be more interesting if Ponting is not able to play, Hughes hit a century yesterday so he might come in and Katich to 3.

 

[saadjhussain]

they should just declare now, get some overs from ajmal and rauf

 

[iafzal]

Fawad's chances not looking to good unless they drop Bhanja.

 

[octavian]

Kami smashing Krejza

 

[octavian]

Fawad's chances not looking to good unless they drop Bhanja.

its misbah who needs to go

 

[Juggernaut]

^ Add Faisal 17 to the list

not much of a start

 

[mindless slogging]

Aamer should've been rested IMO.

Considering Yousuf, Asif and Kaneria are all rested and going to start, does this mean is also a certainty to start on Boxing day?

 

[161]

Sydney will turn, Melbourne will turn a bit.

What about this ground ?

Strange ... but its the same place where the third test will be played.

 

[Wazeeri]

What about this ground ?

Strange ... but its the same place where the third test will be played.

I think that's another Hobart, Bellerive Oval.

actually i just checked the last test.

take a look at murali's stats !!!

Not sure, hard to get a read on Hobart. Usually is a pretty flat pitch but who knows.

Hopefully.

same ground according to cricinfo - http://www.cricinfo.com/ausvpak09/content/series/406184.html?template=fixtures

 

[Random Aussie]

7/367 btw

 

[octavian]

Aamer definitely needed to be rested. God this is M Zahid all over again !!

Murali always bowl poor down under

 

[161]

Murali always bowl poor down under

macgill wasnt to great either in that match.

seems like an overall flat pitch.

 

[Wazeeri]

Sydney and Hobart are both spinner friendly.
Have a look at the names in the list, Saqi, Mushy, Macgill, Warne.

http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine...ss=1;ground=905;template=results;type=bowling

 

[CricnPak]

Sorry if my head's been underground on this issue, but what's going on with Brett Lee? Why isn't he on the field somewhere?

 

[saj001]

macgill wasnt to great either in that match.

Napier of Australia

I Like Hobart , it is a very good ODI cricket ground. I remember last time Afridi really layed into Aussie's

 

[Wazeeri]

par score = 421 so yes a flat pitch.

 

[octavian]

but this one is green apparently isn't it?

 

[Wazeeri]

Hobart seems like a really results orientated pitch.
6 results out of 8 matches

 

[AZ]

but this one is green apparently isn't it?

yep, it was stated to be a greenish wicket, and overheard conditions were said to favour the bowlers on the 1st day

 

[sohaib17]

i can't wait for this series to start ...


personally i would have liked management to have rested Ammir in this game and play ed with an extra batsman someone like Manzoor

cuz bowling is not a worry its our batting that will take us down

 

[farsiddiqui]

I think Fawad did enough to earn a place. Should've gotten 50 with the way he was playing; but looked in good in touch today, I think.

 

[sultanator]

Just watch, MoYo's purposely burning out Aamer so he bring in Sami...... stupid seniority.

 

[iafzal]

They should declare. No needto have #8 and up practice. Akmal looks in good touch.

If we declare now we can get two bat again by lunch tomorrow. Our top order can use it.

 

[AZ]

Kami going ballistic on the Tasmanians, 10 4s and a six in his 64

 

[sultanator]

Akmal playing a real captain's knock!

 

[AZ]

Krejza going at 5 an over )

 

[sultanator]

AKMAL FOR CAPTAIN!! Afridi whoooo?!!

 

[AZ]

Rauf Khan?!

 

[sultanator]

 

[161]

Time to watch the Windies match.

Just 47 to win.

 

[AZ]

Kami beating the daylights out of Krejza...maar Kami maar!
