Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010

what's the score and how many wickets remain, guys?

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010

Australia lead by 78 runs with only 2 wickets remaining.

All is not well :nahi: He should’ve been awake after 1st catch dropped but he kept on sleeping, now khassi is at 73 and lead at 80 :naraz:

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010

Kamran Akmal is the Man of the Match. 3 dropped catches of hussey all from kaneria's bowling. The first catch might have changed things around quite drastically for Pakistan's fortunes. The 2nd dropped catch before his 50 and after Clarke's dismisall and the 3rd dropped catch when he was on 52. So Hussey is buy him Akmal lunch/dinner or a gift for at least making Pakistan bat again. Had Kmaran Akmal held on to the first one, maybe perhaps Pakistan could have been winners by an innings.

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010

what did Akmal smoke during the tea break. I learned tht he spilled couple a many catches after tea :(... in all an excellent performance by Pakistan.

:omg:
aap nay aik achay bhalay aadmi ko naa-mard bana diya!

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010

The pitch has really died down. That is why hussey or kh***i is still there. I am sure he would have been gone by now if the ball would be swinging like the 1st day.

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010

Wednesday has clouds and rain in the forecast.

Pakistan need to be careful to not lose the grip from here - Once these 2 wickets are gone, Aussies will come with all guns blazing.

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010

I was so pissed watching Akmal drop 3 easy catches off Kaneria, almost broke my TV. But Pakistan is in total control. Hopefully they'll get the last 2 wickets for under 100 runs lead. And hopefully Kaneria is fit now. He left the field yesterday.

Had it not been for the 3 dropped catches from Kamran Akmal, Hussey would have been long long gone. 2 of these were after tea. One right after Clark'e wicket and the other right after North's wicket. When the rest of the team is holding the catches, now Akmal starts dropping them again.

Wish the team all the best today but Hussey is dangerous and can still stretch the lead from 80 to 150 and then given:

  • our unpredictable and inconsistent batting at the best of times
  • our tendency to collapse under pressure - recent history in Sri Lanka where we squandered winning positions in one mad session not once but twice &
  • the rare occasion and opportunity to
    beat Australia in a test match for the first time since 1995
    HowSTAT! Match Scorecard and
    break 10-0 losing sequence against them

anything is possible

Pakistan beware… need to keep the lead as small as possible

That's my fear too - this match is really Pakistan's to lose.
