Salman butt needs to stay long ... Pak 17/0
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
wonderful start by the Pakistanis - a good start is a job half done !
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
dropped by watson ... Farhat
Pakistan will screw this up
I know they have trained us to have no hope in them. But I think today we are going to lose those shackles inshaallah. With 25/0 so far, I think we are heading in the right direction. At least a 50 run opening partnership required.

Butt gone ... He was really looking not comfortable ... !
5.1
Hilfenhaus to Salman Butt, OUT, 135.6 kph, Butt's nervy innings comes to a swift end! Hilfenhaus gets the breakthrough Australia needed! A man was positioned at short midwicket, no doubt to make Butt think the full inswinger was coming. But Hilfenhaus landed it on a length and moved the ball away from him through the air and off the pitch, taking a thick edge which flew straight to Michael Clarke at a wide second slip. No mistake from him, and this match is really alive now
Salman Butt c Clarke b Hilfenhaus 13 (16b 2x4 0x6) SR: 81.25

Oh No. Captain gone.
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
It seems to me Butt felt the pressure of the lead and knowing the batting form of players ...
May not be a bad idea to promote Malik to 4. He has more experience than Amin and Akmal....he should take some responsibilty
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
According to hanibal’s formula, Salman Butt has fallen early so we should win this match 
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
^^ Actually there is a hope now... a slim one but we do have one.. as long as Butt is not top scorer Pakistan is always in the game
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
55/1 Only need 125 runs now.

So far so good! need to capitalize on a good start...
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
I would love to see Pakistan win this match and then I will ask those guppies who were damn sure that Pak has lost this match ...
59-1 ... 121 more required now ...

Ponting just got Koertzen to change the ball.....when we try and change the ball the umpires never give a damn.

"I just checked with Paul the Octopus and he says that if Shane Watson doesn't bowl in the next 10 minutes then Ricky Ponting is handing the game to Pakistan," says Adrian Meredith. You gotta hand it to that overhyped squid, he knows his sport ...Australia need another wicket here, and they're going to turn to... Shane Watson? Well, he's been their bowler of the series so far, so makes sense! They're also changing the ball here. The Australians haven't been happy with this one for a while, and a few of the shots have put it out of shape. They've been asking every over for it to be changed, and now it has.

If a country can't even chase a target like 180-200...it should stop playing test cricket...
PS: For Pakistan...there is an opportunity to sort out the real test players and kickout the ODI/T20 players from the test format...
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
New ball taken, and Pakistan's nemesis is bowling... ya Allah khair
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
^ There won't be any test team left for Pakistan then.
