Pakistan Tour of Australia 2009/10

[Dutch]

This is going to be fun.

Now the real game starts!!! Would love to see the openers knuckle down and keep it clean till the close!! (yeah, right!)

Should be interesting seeing how Pakistan go. Won't be surprised if they are none down at stumps.

 

[TumTum]

Won't be surprised if they are none down at stumps.

Who would?

They'll probably be 0/80 odd.

 

[irottev]

Won't be surprised if they are none down at stumps.

With their top 3, I doubt it.

 

[ksduded]

i think it will be 30/3

 

[aussie1st]

It always seems to be the trend that happens, when one team falls apart the other team starts to make the pitch look flat.

Bollinger with another first ball ripper, one of these days he will get a wicket with it.

Kamran Akmal made a brilliant century on a pitch similar to this one, will someone else from Pakistan play that role in this test.

 

[TumTum]

Now watch Pakistan make 400, Ponting you goose

 

[aussie1st]

From what I'm hearing, tomorrow will be sunny. Maybe Ponting should have taken a look at the weather forecast! Still full credit to the Pakistan bowlers, they hit the right spots and made the ball talk. Bollinger was kinda of doing the same, not too much from Siddle though.

 

[irottev]

Bad light, bah. Not great bowling either. Dunno why Johnson didn't get the ball.

 

[Cricketdude]

What was the reasoning behind Pontings decision to bat first on such a pitch and in these conditions????

Worst decision ever!

 

[Howsie]

Good way to start this decade of test cricket, a bowler friendly deck. Hopefully we see a lot more of these during the next 10 years.

 

[Insomniac]

Oh my word, no wickets down at stumps.

Impressive.

This has been undoubtedly the best day in Pak test cricket this decade. Asif was brilliant and Sami was threatening. Sami for once had a bowling plan and did not dish out 95mph half volley after half volley. I think its the fielding that has won the day for Pakistan. Only one drop catch and two real good ones was the key for me. The catch that Umar gul took was marvelous. If dropped, Ponting would have made them pay big time.
For once, our openers have also shown some guts and managed to hang on till end of the day. This would have tinted confidence of Aussie bowlers to a little extent. All Pakistan needs is not to lose their nerves. After 12 years or so, they have got australia on run. I just wish they stay strong and do not lose grip of this match.
