Shoaib akhtar is tired of pakistan making low **** score's.He tried his best to take pakistan to a good position to win this ****ing test match but look at the pakistan batting line up absloutely clue less with youngster's like farhat that has a bad shot selection and experience player's like salman butt doesnt know how to stop the ball.The question to be asked is why pakistan dont have tuffeq umar a good young player in the team rather then having a stupid player like farhat playing and opening the batting.The bowling for pakistan has imporved but the batting is plum.It is about time to make changes to pakistani test line up and some seriouse change's i am talking about.Abdul razzaq is not a test player we need some one like navid ul hasan to make a come back.I hope pakistan make changes to the batting line up they should bring tuffeq umar back and navid ul hasan as well this cant be continued like this.Pakistan has never won a test series againts aus.This was there chance but unforutnately the ****ing batting didnt do much for pakistan. :(
Come on man fardin! You should'nt say Shoaib is tired of the low scores that Pakistan makes. Agreed that Pak did not bat well in 2nd innings but its the bowler's duty to try and win the match for their team how much ever low the score might be. Ambrose and Walsh were in the same situation in late 90's when all the WI great batsmen had retired by then. They shot out England for 46 and India for 80 when their batsmen did not put up good chasing total. They kept the WI in hunt solely with their bowling.
Its disheartening that you defend Akhtar not trying to win the match for Pakistan (if he did indeed) when the team wants him the most. he could have not won the match for pakistan but at least tried his best and won the hearts of millions for his effort.

Please do not point fingers at certain set of players. Butt played really well last match and this match. I bet you would have been asking why Farhat was not in the squad if Taufeeq Umar would have gotten out in similar situation instead of Farhat.

Leave alone Pakistan, the fact is that there is no team in the world which can beat Australia at the moment. They have 5 good batsmen, 5 good bowlers and a heck of a wicketkeeper. When a team has that then its almost impossible to beat such a team moreso in their own backyard. To beat this Aussie team, the opposition team needs guts of steel, concentration of an eagle and guile of a magician which I am afraid none of the teams have at this moment.

Congratulations to the Australian team for winning yet another series! (This comes from a person who is not a Aussie supporter).

Its not about the cricket, in case you havent noticed.... it gets depressing to see our people just being blind to obvious realities... having faith is one thing, eating sh*t and insisting its "Biryani" is something else... no wonder we keep electing the same corrupt politicians, keep listening to the same corrupt mullahs, keep getting f*ucked collectively and saying thankyou to the rapists... no, its not the cricket that bothers me, its my own clueless countrymen.
I bet there are many people from any damn country who will say something similar about their country.

Yay! Easy way to increase my rep!Aussies will obviously win this.

I bet 8 points on Australia

Come on,Australia,don't lose :upray:
 
u dont know maybe the new yeaer brings some luck to the pakistanis
 
come on borncricketer, going by the way Pakistan have played, gold has every right to claim his words!!! New Year may or may not bring luck to them. Thats a 50-50 probability. Gold is clinging on to the probability of Australia winning!! I feel Pakistan needs a serious turnaround and should reshuffle their team. They need good openers and not guys like Farhat & Yasir Hameed who score once in a bluemoon! Somehow, the bowling still lacks the fear and power generated by the two W's - Wasim & Waqar. Shoaib lacks an important ingredient - consistency. He needs to buck up. He can try out a shortened run up just for the people who advice him. Seriously, bowling for 5 overs and then tiring out is not going to work! He has to try different things to avoid this and why not try a shortened run up?? Accuracy and consistency is better than sheer pace! How long is he going to be a sheer pace bowler?? Mohammed Sami looks to have accuracy but doesnt look to get the wickets! Where is Umar Gul who rocked the Indians in Lahore with some splendid bowling?? The coach can do nothing other than just advice the boys and provide them practice. They have to convert all their behind the scenes work into good performances!!
 
Hello and welcome to all "bekaar people".U guys have enough time to waist ur energy on this topic. Leave it and pray from ALLAH Paksitan will bounce back from un-even patch.

sir, do u know that you are also one of those so called 'bekaar' people who wasted their energy on this topic?? Dont use ALLAH's name when you abuse other people in here in the same message!!
 
I have to say that the umpires in that match were harsh on the Pakistani's side especially rudy Koertzen :( . The injuries didn't do any other good for Pakistan.

the thing that really stuffed up pakistan was the pathetic new ball bowling on the third day.i was there,and shoaib just kept on bowling bouncers.what a waste.they got past the bat once!once!and that was gillespie.they should have bowled them out for 260. :mad
