Cant you guys tell by the match status that I am at work and not watching it live ![]()
but Pakistan is gonna face the same kind of kutai at the hands of mediocres like watson and north since pitch conditions wouldn't have changed much later in the day.

re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
Australia 1st innings R B 4s 6s SR
SR Watson lbw b Mohammad Asif 5 19 1 0 26.31
7.2 129.5 kph, gone! Another falls. Game on. Asif gets his line and length right, full on off stump with a hint of shape back in, Watson misses his drive and is caught right in front. Ian Gould quickly raises the finger, but Watson isn't happy and takes a while to leave 20/2
SM Katich lbw b Mohammad Aamer 13 21 2 0 61.90
6.1 141.0 kph, gone! A breakthrough for Pakistan and Katich plays for shuffling across the crease as he's caught on off stump with the ball angling towards middle and leg. A strength can often be a weakness and he'll always been danger if he misses the ball - he should have gone like that early at Lord's. Rudi raises his slow finger to send him on the way 20/1
RT Ponting* lbw b Mohammad Asif 6 21 0 0 28.57
13.5 128.8 kph, gone! Again Ponting thrusts the left leg forward and swishes across the pad at a ball nipping back in to him. He's struck infront of middle and leg, huge appeal from bowler and fielders and that's out! A remarkable exhibition of the control of seam and swing from Asif, and Australia are in all sorts of trouble now 29/4
MJ Clarke b Umar Gul 3 20 0 0 15.00
12.3 137.4 kph, gone! Australia all over the shop as Clarke is cleaned up. Was the perfect full length and he drove all around it having played two wild shots previously. Gul has pitched the ball up and got rewards 27/3
MEK Hussey lbw b Umar Gul 5 13 1 0 38.46
16.5 129.3 kph, Hussey goes! Gul strikes! He fired the ball full and straight, snaking it back into the batsman to strike him on the pad. Rudi's slow finger of death begins to rise, and Hussey's got to go. He's unlucky there, replays suggest the ball may have missed leg stump. But look at this, Australia are 41 for 5! 41/5
MJ North c †Kamran Akmal b Umar Amin 16 33 2 0 48.48
22.5 116.5 kph, Amin strikes! North falls! Kamran holds a catch! Amin picks up his first Test wicket as he lands one on a length around off stump. North could have left that, but he pushed forward in defence and had to reach for the ball. A healthy edge, and Kamran takes a good catch diving to his left. North is utterly disconsolate as he trudges off. Kamran and Amin are over the moon! 60/6
TD Paine† not out 13 28 2 0 46.42
SPD Smith b Mohammad Aamer 10 8 2 0 125.00
25.1 134.8 kph, Done him first ball! That's a beauty from Aamer, snaking back through bat and ball to smash into middle stump! Smith was angling through midwicket but the ball simply wasn't there 73/7
MG Johnson b Mohammad Aamer 0 1 0 0 0.00
25.2 134.1 kph, Oh. My. Goodness. What a beauty from Aamer, that was unplayable, full on middle and off and it shaped away and took off stump. Aamer is on a hat-trick! 73/8
BW Hilfenhaus not out 1 7 0 0 14.28
Extras (lb 6, nb 1) 7
Total (8 wickets; 28.2 overs) 79 (2.78 runs per over)
Aus 73/8
I am not getting carried away or celebrating yet despite terrific swing and seam bowling by Aamer, Gul and Asif today
Batting folks is the key
Our current batting is so bad that they will stumble even if chasing <100 against any side esp. Australia
Australia by no means beaten or out of this test just yet
Ben Hilfenhaus scored fifty in last match
now 80/8

re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
Aussies some consolation in having just gone safely past their lowest total against Pakistan (80 in Karachi 1956)
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years

wah, run out bhi ho gya? Thank God! I hate this hilfenhaus dude! ![]()
re: Historic Thread: 2nd Test @ Headingley, Pakistan STUFF Australia after 15 years
Umar Gul to Paine, 2 runs, OUT, 130.6 kph, another one bites the dust, and what a way to go! Paine chopped down to third man, and sized up a tight third run, but a sliding stop and a fine flat throw came in from Umar Amin in the deep, and though Kamran Akmal had to gather high to remove the bails, he did so with Hilfenhaus's bat still short of the crease!
BW Hilfenhaus run out 3 (16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 18.75
Australia 88/9 (33.0 ov)
