watson RUNOUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
watson dont wana go he want Katich to go
review called to see who has to go
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
both batsmen reached the crease at he same time … SAME CREASE that it 
what a drama…
3rd umpire called to see who is out
katich puts his foot in the crease while watson’s was may be 0.25 inches in the air 
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
that was superb fielding that created the runout :)
60.1
Mohammad Aamer to Katich, OUT, run out! forcing off the back foot to cover, Watson runs through for the single, Katich takes a few steps down before retreating, both batsmen end up at the same end with the throw into the bowler's end to affect the run out, neither batsmen wants to leave and replays suggest both got to the striker's end at the same time. Watson is the one ruled out.
SR Watson run out 93 (191b 11x4 0x6) SR: 48.69
A more just decision would have seen Katich dismissed, as he completely bailed on his partner. It was incredibly selfish of Katich to retreat. Alas, justice doesn't come into the umpire's decision.

Imran farhat even dropped a BEACH BALL ....which came into the ground due to wind. Richie saying "if you drop a beach ball, you got real problem" :)
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Great start from Aus :)
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
KAtich gone on 98 …
Pressure of 100 got him…
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Kamran Akmal dropped POnting … 3rd catch dropped 
Ponting will make Pakistan pay for it just ilke Katich and Watson did
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Oh come on, Akmal should've caught that!!! How good it'd be to have Ponting back in the pavilion too.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
dropping 3 straight forward catches on batting paradise ..and still expect to win? huh
I’d say bowlers have bowled wonderfully :k:
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Ajmal getting some bite from the wicket. Things could get interesting in the last hour.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
I do not know what katich was trying to do?He should have been there and try and get his 100.Its really painful to see people missing out 100 after such a patient innings.
Yup! Otherwise we’d never hope to win. The dropped catches problem will always be there… it’s a reality. We have to hope to win inspite of those.

That was a shot that you'd expect Farhat to play. He just jabbed at it to lob a perfect catch to the fielder. He didn't try to keep it down or slash it hard to go over the fielder.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
I love to watch Ponting bat. Beautiful.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Ponting Gone ... finally Pakistan (and Misbah) caught something :)
super out swinger from Asif ..
Commentators cant stress much how well Pakistan is bowling on this batting wicket and only if their fields would have hold onto simple chances
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Ponting gone. Great bowling by Asif!
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
it looks like Abdur Rauf is only playing so other bowlers can change ends using him for one over ..... I think Sami could not have done worst that what Rauf is doing ..
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
291/3 Good going by Aus.
