Its the Pakistani fielders man. Image, if the first catch was caught when the score was on 12 by Umar Akmal. All the pressure would have been shifted. And then the Misbah drop…and Kamran Akmal’s drop of ponting. 3 dropped catches against top 3 Aussie batsmen, you’ll pay dearly.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
not a good day for pak…pathetic fielding
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
if aus scores above 500 than i m smelling a innings defeat 
Only the first day of the series and problems already for our team..
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
its about time we get a ‘real’ fielding coach and not someone like Waqar Younis…who is fine as a bowling coach but im not too sure about his fielding coach abilities. With this type of pathetic fielding…we always remain a medicore team.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
^^^^^
waqar own fielding is crap
Agree. Basically Pakistan is playing with 3 reg bowlers. Rauf is painful to watch. Absolutely nothing in his bowling that would suggest he’s test material.
Not me. I would have never done that. It’s not my job.

‘Feel like I was playing in Faisalabad’ - Mohammad Asif
they are SCARED of express fast bowlers. should have played shoib/sami.
what does it take for pakistanis to understand simple streight forward facts? look at the pitch they produced.
yeah should have played Akhtar so he could quit the match halfway to go for another liposuction… and this time a liposuction of the brain…
and should have played Sami so he could bowl half volleys on middle and leg all day long…
show cares if akhter takes a break! just the thought that he is in the team would have destableized Watsons pontings katich etc.
this is not your mohalla cricket. This is international cricket, it is all mind game.
No fast bowler can bowl more than a 8-10 over stretch at 100% in 90-100F heat be it bond or lee, and it takes a bowling captian to understand that.
that no good immature quiter Inzi never understood that, do you get it?
On the other hand Imran/waseem did get it, that is why fast bowlers seldom bowled a spell of more than 5 overs under them (unless they were on a roll)
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
when was the last time Akhtar bowled more than 3 overs in one burst?
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
if Akhtar was in the situation would have been completely different…n speaking of rauf he got a parchi abdul qadir said it on tv today i saw it …he
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Qadir is a moron like just like Sarfraz Nawaz. what kind of backgrounds do these third class jahil ppl come from?
pity there are no proper libel laws in Pakistan. Rauf should take the dumbass to court and make him apologize.
so u r trying to say that Rauf is not a sifarshi n he has justified his selection??
Rauf has been performing in domestic cricket for a long time. he deserves his shot. he had a bad day but he’s a hard working player. anyone can have a bad day. he doesn’t deserve to be shot just because he didn’t take all 10 wickets by himself.
Qadir is like one of those jahil women who fight with their neighbor while standing on the rooftop as the whole mohalla watches the tamasha.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Aus has done well in the first day 
:k:
ok lets see what he does tomorrow…i really think Gul is way better than him ..
ya they batted well n thanks to our fielding also
Did you even see the match? He was bowling half volleys throughout his spell- his economy tells you everything. Farhat created more chances in his 3 overs than Rauf did in the entire day. I can’t think of any chance that he created to get a wicket.
Anyway, I hope it was just a bad day and he bowls better tomorrow. We can’t win test with 3 bowlers.
