OMG, Austriaila 4/1
Langer Bowled Waqar..
What a beauty of a delievery!!!
well this might be the delievery Waqar needs to get his confidence back :k:
Bad news they are nt playing Afridi… He should have played i think!
This team is playing in this match
Imran Farhat
Taufeeq Umar
Younis Khan
'Misbah
Faisal
Hasan Raza
Rashid Latif
Waqar
Sami
Danish ( I think Afridi should have been here for Danish)
Pakistan team:
Imran Farhat, Taufeeq Umar, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq,
Faisal Iqbal, Hasan Raza, +Rashid Latif, Saqlain Mushtaq,
*Waqar Younis, Mohammad Sami, Danish Kaneria
WHAT IS THIS????
where's afridi????
and why is kaneria in????
okay I like this lineup as it has been emphasiezed on our batting only. can anybody help me with this ..whose gonna be the fifth bowler? I see only waqar sami saqlaing and kaneria..wouldnt have hurt if afridi was in for imran farhat? if I recall correctly imran farhat is also a very shaky batsman and tends to throw a wicket too..
with the absense of akhtar our bowling lineup doesnt really look life threatening.
I know taufiq umer bowls but so does rashid latif..so how effective is he?is he a spiiner or just regular time pass bowler..
This is the last match... they have already lost the series... so they decided to go with youngesters and lose another game... a white-wash? dang
--
well from the commentary it seems Ponting is living dangeroulsy wth a couple of mistimed shot and misses..lets hope he never get settled.
Hayden is solid,maybe saqalin might disturb his rythm. Saqi tends to gets along well with leftys ;)
Australia 34/1
Pakistan gone in with only 4 bowlers??
kaneria bolwing.
All the players both Pakistanis and Australians wearing black arm bands, any idea why?
Stadium empty.
Mohammad Sami 6 3 7 0

maiden overs and a good controlled bowling always keep batsmen under pressure....
okay the two spinners so far failed to give any pressure to the batsmen. Our fast bowlers cant get a braek.So whom should we rely on?.Its always important to go with five bowlers or having sixth bowler option. Maybe waqar can do something in the later stages of the game with his reverse swings..
I dun see sami taking any wickets as of now yeah he is maintainig good line and length but we need more than that.
With Pakistan going in with only 4 recognised bowlers and having seen all four bowl, I think Pakistan is in for a long day in the field and Australia will put up a big score.
Currently 61/1

exactly armughal....
Waqar and sami bowled really well ... Buut spinners so far are not settled but Ponting is also looking shaky! Lets hope he is pickd up early,...
I think for Pakistan This partnership is the ley , Ausitrialian middle order is shaky too... and in this seris this hayden-Pontning thing tht diusturbs Pakistan...
I agree Afridi should be playing!
But lets hope they pick u these two sooner then later!
Is there is no end to silly decisions by Waqar, going into a test match with only four recognised bowlers is the latest one.
I think Pakistan is in for a big big Phenti.
I hope I am wrong.
OUT!!! just kidding..
22.3 Saqlain Mushtaq to Hayden, no run, bowls a sudden 101kph yorker, Hayden just digs it out
ahem frustration I suppose or maybe there was an exchange of words between them that motivated saqalin to bowl a toe crusher ;)
