Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

I guess today was a stalemate. Who are the spinners in the Pakistani team? Are they good?

So last when Younus scored century in Srilanka, he was dropped in ODIs. Now when he’s done it again, probably he’ll be asked to retire

So concluded the extrapolator.

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Seems like my old trick of not watching still works for Pakistan :D. So form now on, I am not watching the game …sacrificing it for the sake of Pakistan!!!

Well played Younus and Azhar. Misbah Mashallah is doing what he does :k: we need at least 120-150 more runs to put Aus on backfoot

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

We are gonna miss Saeed Ajmal… I hope Zulfiqar Babar can rescue.

Zulfiqar is good but has played only 2 test matches while we have a debutant Yasir Shah, lets see if they can do it for Pakistan

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Why did they not play Abdur Rehman? He had good experience of bowling in UAE

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

I did not realize earlier but Younus Khan is one of only 12 players* in the history of world cricket* to make 100 against every Test playing nation. Quite an elite club eh?

well done :k:

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

And he is first Pakistani to do so. Even Inzi or Yousuf couldn't do that. Quite an accomplishment.

Like few straight no-balls? :D

So why the frown?

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

I am waiting for Misbah's century. :)

Waleed Bro,is not yet to be seen. :D

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Y.K's innings is a great thing to watch.He has got so much control over the bat and the ball.A sheer timer of the ball.

Arleitter · October 23, 2014, 4:15am

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Y.K can hit a double and Misbah a century means Pakistan will pose a huge total for the Aussies.

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Yes He is Misbah

91.5
Lyon to Misbah-ul-Haq, SIX, biiiiig heave over long-on! Saw the loop on the ball, realised it won’t quite threaten the rough outside off and cashed in big time

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

lets see if Shafiq avail this chance

91.1
Lyon to Asad Shafiq, 1 run, first ball big turn from outside off, skews off the pad and possibly through the legs of Doolan at short leg. Looks like that was a chance. Should have been taken, that.

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Any comments on his bowling as I didn't watch the match at all.

Brodie: "Just wondering is Nathan Lyon bowling really badly today and a bit of yesterday or are Pakistan just playing him really well?" Well, he did create a chance in his first over today. First ball, even.
