Awesome performance, although I wish I was as optimistic as ehsan bhai :-) By the way, can someone PLEASE POST THE HIGHLIGHTS? Thank you very much in advance.

If any of you haven't watched Aamir's two wickets with the first two balls after lunch you have missed something really special. They were just awesome.

I'm glad I didn't miss it. The leg cutter to johnson was breathtaking. Reminded me of Wasim Akram dismissing left handed batsmen in English overcast conditions.
huh, so that means I should start watching the game from Tomorrow. Rest assured I DO have access to live stream online.
Is this how you want it to be?

Well…Pakistan are once again in better position for so many times…but it still remains to be seen whether they get the finish line… 
I woke up at 530AM canada time to watch the match...Im glad I did..it was worth it :D
Great bowling by Aamir and Asif in particular...also Gul. Also a nice knock by Butt...pity he didnt go on.
If we can get a lead of say...200-250....I think we have a great chance.
The wicket is taking turn already....and days 4-5 are supposed to be sunny....so if we can get a decent first innings lead...the preassure is right back on the Aussies.
They are just like everyone else...ie...if the opposition puts the preassure on...they are bound to c rack.

i forgot it was on, then i saw the score and my eyes almost popped out of my head.
The big screen @ Headingley
When was the last time you saw something like this?
stats:
When Australia lost their eighth wicket for 73, they were on course for their lowest Test score against Pakistan. However, Tim Paine’s 17 pushed them past that mark of 80.
Australia’s total of 88 is their lowest in the first innings of a Test match in the last 53 years, and their seventh-lowest overall. The last time they’d been dismissed for a lower score was way back in 1956, also against Pakistan, when they made 80 in Karachi. Pakistan ended up winning that game by nine wickets. On that occasion too, Australia had won the toss, with Ian Johnson making the call to bat first. In terms of overs, this is Australia’s fourth-lowest in the first innings of a Test.
Australia’s total is the lowest in the first innings after they’ve won the toss and chosen to bat in the last 50 years.
Paine’s score of 17 is the fourth-lowest top-score for Australia in a Test innings in which all 11 batsmen have batted. This, then, makes it Australia’s lowest top score in the last 110 years. The three previous ones were all against England: 10 in Sydney in 1888, 15 at The Oval in 1886, and 16 again at The Oval in 1896.
For Pakistan, this is the fourth-lowest total that they have bowled out an opposition team for. It’s their third-lowest, though, after they’ve lost the toss.
Pakistan’s outstanding start has put them in line for their first Test win against Australia since Sydney, 1995, when they won a dead rubber by 74 runs. The last time they won a live game was that famous one-wicket thriller in Karachi in 1994. Australia are also in danger of losing their first live game by an innings since India beat them in Kolkata in 1998. The last time Pakistan beat Australia by an innings was a decade before that, when they won by an innings and 188 runs on designer pitch in Karachi where Mudassar Nazar and Aamer Malik opened the bowling in both innings. Conditions couldn’t be more different at Headingley, but can Pakistan repeat that result?

thankooooo!!!
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
umpiring was good today. Hussey was unlucky though, the ball missing leg stump
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
clarke escaped a shout that should have been given though, so it kinda evens out.

Tomorrow we will find out what kind of a Batsman Umer Akmal really is.
This is the moment for him to stand up and play up to his potential and expectations.
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
True that Man. He needs to score big and work with the tailenders.
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
July 21 2010 will go down as one of the best days of Pakistan's bowling. We have all wondered who will fill the gap after the departure of Wasim and Waqar. The trio Asif, Aamir and Gul have answered the call.
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
I am not as convinced of Asif and Gul. They required too much assistance from the pitch.
Aamer is the real deal.
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
Every bowler needs some sort of assistance from the pitch. When you will see Gul and Asif on sub-continent wickets, you'll be a believer too. What I am talking about is the bowling combination. The trio not only made the batsmen work for runs but also kept the line and length tight enough for their counterparts to take advantage and go for the kill. Result. 88 all out.
