[TumTum]

Mitch bowling with a lot of steam

control over steam is his x-power

that's a massive bonus wicket there, puts a lot of pressure on the lower order.

I am a big fan of Watson's bowling in the 5 day game. He reversed it back home and is making the ball talk now.

 

[Themer]

Oh dear.

Although the two debutantes got out for little at least they were got out, unlike Kamran Akmal there.

 

[angryangy]

umar akmal simply missed a straight one, but kamran got a beauty.

afridi leaves! worth the price of admission

Shahid Afridi WAG.

 

[Themer]

but kamran got a beauty.

It was a decent ball but where it pitched I'd of thought he should at least be playing a shot.

Really enjoying this and to be honest with Australia not getting a massive score and them already being a few wickets down he might aswell have a slog. A quick 50 and they could be right up there and make sure the game will get a winner barring the weather.

What a hit. Afridi middling everything thus far.

Themer added 0 Minutes and 34 Seconds later...

Bugger I was enjoying that.

 

[angryangy]

Test cricket, it's the rock n roll form of the game!

 

[King Pietersen]

Shame to see him depart so early, was playing nicely. It wasn't typical Afridi slogging, he was playing proper cricket shots and taking advantage of some pie deliveries served up by Watson.

 

[aus_maestro]

:laugh Afridi's a dumbass.

 

[AkshayS]

haha 6 wickets down, Pakistan have tough task now.
Afridi leaves.

 

[angryangy]

omg catching practice.

 

[ksduded]

I think Afridi did the right thing there..... if he would have tried playing normally, in those conditions he wouldn't have survived more than 17 deliveries anyways... better to notch up 30 odd runs rather than 5 runs and then out/...

 

[Themer]

Afridi's a dumbass.

Why?

I actually agreed with his decision to have a slog. Its not like there was alot of batting to come and thus far this innings the batsmen who've tried to defend have been gotten out for alot less than Afridi did.

Plus it was great fun to watch

 

[Howsie]

Umar Gul's probably wishing he didn't bowl all those bouncers to Bollinger this morning right about now.
