Pakistan v Australia in England, June-July 2010

[Dr. Pepper]

Bollinger off is probably a good thing. He couldn't get his line and length right to trouble the batsman. Johnson is erratic but he gets wickets.

 

[Adarsh]

Woo 50 up. Now, next target is 100/2 or 100/3.

Johnson's getting some good swing into the lefties. Farhat has to look out for the LBW.

Imran Farhat looks a lot like, and has a very similar style to Tamim Iqbal. I honestly reckon that if luck goes his way, he can be a good batsman for Pakistan. He doesn't have a shoddy technique...just a poor temperament.

There is a guy there in the stands next to the field and he was filming the action with his videocamera. On the smiling look on his face, when Farhat hit a four, I can guess he is from England.

Looks like a bit of reverse. Watson could be a good change.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Ponting are using his game tactics to replace the ball. He did it a couple of times. And now it seems it has worked for him. The umpires are replacing it.

It will be much talked about this moment if suddenly wickets fall.

No surprise: Watson is starting to bowl.

 

[Insomniac]

Ponting, you're such a freaking whiner.

 

[angryangy]

Could be a mistake...

 

[King Pietersen]

Get Smith on TBH. Might get tonked, but he might pick up a wicket and throw this game wide open. Come on Ricky, give the lad a chance.

 

[RoboRocks]

I don't think Ponting will give Smith too much responsibility in this situation. This test hasn't gone to script to give Smith an extended bowl, which is poor considering that Smith is supposed to be Australia's next good spinner. Australia haven't learned too much about Smith's bowling and the jury is still out about who should be their spinner.

 

[Insomniac]

Sydney: 69/3
Leeds: 69/1

Scary thought.

 

[King Pietersen]

He shouldn't be their primary spinner, he should be in the XI though, probably batting 6 in place of North, with Hauritz coming back into the side as the main spinner.

King Pietersen added 1 Minutes and 9 Seconds later...

More toss from Johnson. Get Smith on FFS.

 

[deathrevenge9]

Some sensible batting here.

 

[Insomniac]

Some sensible batting here.

Do you really want to jinx us?

 

[RoboRocks]

KP's gonna get his wish!

It should too late now though.

 

[King Pietersen]

:laugh That is hilariously bad fielding from Hilfenhaus. Harsh on Smith, was a good delivery that.
