Pakistan v Australia in England, June-July 2010

[khalek]

Good batting by Paine, cannot let his team get bowled out so soon to give Pakistan plenty of time to chase the target.

 

[Mota Aloo]

Never known so many wickets to fall in 2&1/2 days at Lords.

 

[King Pietersen]

GTFO Kaneria. Smith was supposed to get a century, what are you doing?

More like double century. Ah well, we all know he's got a ten wicket haul coming up in the second innings. Future Garry Sobers that kid:laugh:doh:help

Dam Kaneria got Smith out in both innings Guess we can put it down to him not having faced any quality spinners and definitely no leggies of quality.

 

[angryangy]

From this we can also conclude that North has never faced quality seamers

As good as these Pakistani bowlers are, they have no idea how to bowl at tail enders. You are supposed to attack them, not wait till they get themselves out.

This target is way tooo much for Pakistan.

Shahid Afrdi's inclusion has only one thing to do in team and that is get a 15-20 ball 50.

He is serious fail in Test Team.

350 runs is a huggggggeeee target for Pakistan and Australian bowling with the inclusion of Ben will be toooo hot tooooo handle!!


Come on Aussie win this!!

It's not just the bowlers. For the last 5-6years, our captains decide that if a batsman is batting with a tailender, trying to get the batsman out is futile so spread the field as deep as you can. When the tailender does face, it is probable that he will have a slog and is probably a compulsive hooker so get 2-3 men deep and hope he hooks or pulls it.

I can't believe that Kaneria with 6-7 men close in can't get both of these out. They're currently acting as if Paine is near impossible to dislodge. They're not even trying! The guy's on debut and we have a bowler with 4 wickets and only one slip and one gully, no short midwicket / cover, no short leg. I man seriously, how good is Paine?! :

 

[ZexyZahid]

From what I see they're really not attacking the tail.

 

[Insomniac]

Our batsmen should be ashamed of themselves.

This is pathetic if Hilfanhaus can make even 20, our batsmen should all be able to score 100s

 

[drainpipe32]

Now I'm annoyed, because it's 12AM, my lab report (due tomorrow) is so far from finished and Paine looks like he can bat.

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Pakistan have chased only once 300+ score.

Now that will not give any hopes to them. Even Waqar Younis was looking as if they have lost it already!!

 

[TumTum]

I have a feeling these runs are crucial, Pakistan might bat well in the 2nd dig as everything looks so flat now.
