One more thing I noticed, even when Sami was bowling 131-140K, he seemed much faster than Gul bowling at similar speeds. Somehow Sami's action seems to make the ball go much quicker.
Actually in his first spell, sami was bowling close to 150k (his fastest ball was at 149.9). He was consistently bowling in the mid to late 140s. It was definitely his speed that started the downfall of Aus batting. Sami was a treat to watch, specially in his first spell.
I think he's in your vicinity samb... please arrange for appropriate blockades and obstructions - thank you kindly :)

What I feel good about yesterday's performance (beside seeing Clarke's bowled) is the slap on Ponting's cockiness. The way he declared twice in MCG was so humiliating for other team which is a main cricketing nation. Being technically sound and professional is one thing but being over confidence is another. Specially in a game like cricket.
Ponting's decision to bat despite of hostile batting conditions was like.......rain or shine.....Pakistan....BRING IT ON!!!!!! we will crush you anyways.

looking at all the suggestions and concerns of my GC fellows, I can consider not watching the game for the first hour :hatim taiee kee qabar per laaat marney wala icon: Ask openers to do as much as they can in first hour of the game :)
