It is extremely, I don't blame them for not showing up under 100 F and plus Pakistan's pathetic display.
After watching the 1st Test I though the young guns are different from the old farts, but they are all the same, no professionalism,
Mainly the openers were responsible for this, no one asked them to score runs earlier but atleast keep your wickets in hand, so the batsman coming below you won't be in such situations.
In these kind of collapses, we need someone solid like Dravid, Miandad, who can come around and stay their for a while.
hmmm, well its all hard luck and pathetic display of batsmansip!!
I dont think Waqar made any bad decisions today!! What can he d if batsmen are playing this well, And pitch was never unplayable though on a touch slower side but maily it was bad shots from inexperienced players.... Khair lets see how this match goes..
i Hope they lose respecatably even if they lose :(
I think its a little early to predict the outcome of the match, no one ever thought Pakistan would have a single chance coming back into the match when Australia were leading by 250 runs with 9 wickets in hand in 2nd innings, our bowling is still strong, eventhough they were a little expensive today, most of the boundries came of thick edges luckily to the Australian batsman, Shoaib bowled well today but the batsman were playing him with caution. 4 more days left, this match might end on day 3 or it might go all the way to day 5, never undersestimate the Pakistani team, one day they play like the best side in the world but the next day they play like the worst.
well yeah good come back again by pakistanis!!
Rashid has been unfortunate :(... I hope he is fit for remiander of the series :) and befoe tthat pakistan picks up more wickets :)
Haven't seen any of today's play except for a couple of Shoaib overs which were pretty good. Pakistan is producing substandard batsmen at the moment noner of them even have enough sense to play in the V when they first come in. Imran Nazir is a flashy hitter not an opener, Afridi isn't the answer either. This batting line up is too weak to challenge the Aussies, otherwise if we could put up a total to put them under pressure, I'm sure they would look far from invincible.
itni cricket khel ke bhi yeh haal hai to phir inka ALLAH hi haafiz hai.....even the youngsters they've played domestic n all...its also same cricket...they play w/the same ball n bat

It was the bowling and not the batting that challenged the Aussies in the first test (batting capitalized on the chance provided by the bowling, but it wasn't the challenger).
Not only do we need to produce better batsmen, we also need to produce better fans and spectators who oppose the inclusion of Tullas (Imran!) in the team regardless of how explosive they might be.
Tullas can help you get occasional sensational win, but in the long run they ruin the team morale with their inconsistency.

Man, even my muhalla's Star Eleven Cricket team can put up a better fight than this. What a Pathetic display of batting. Double LANAT!!!
Pakistan cricket is goin from awful to unbelievably awful. I admit the batting is terrible so why dont they play 6 batsman? Even Australia play 6 batters. Razzaq and Imran Nazir rnt batters theyre hitters ! suitable 4 1day cricket. Misbah is not international class and Rashid latif is getting past it. Now the bowling, the best bowling attack in the world? U must b joking! We hav the best and the fastest bowler in the world in Shoaib and a good backup in Saqlain. Razzaq is not a test bowler as he has problems getting test batters out. Now Waqar im afraid is well and truly past it. Australia r thinkin of droppin the Waugh bros coz theyv stopped scoring runs in the last year. Why duz nobody mention Waqars performances? I mean the guy has become a joke. Wens da last time he got a 5 wkt haul in atest match apart from against Bangladesh? Answer is 1997.That says hes finished and he goes for too many runs. Im very sad 4 this pak team has they dont hav a captain who can lead by example.
, lets see how many days this game lasts.
