Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
Aussies' biased commentary is even more upsetting. This match was NOT a see saw match. It was Pakistan's until this morning.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
yousuf and akmal and misbah.....bad bad bad.
i wonder what will yousuf have to say?????
I think blame falls back to Moyo, Kamran and Misbah. Moyo doesn't know how to captain the side

fk it
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
Well played Australia. Today Pakistan gifted them this match but they were brave enough to take their chances. Butt's dismissal was just an example how catches win matches.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
Good bowling by Sami and Asif on day 1. Otherwise, Pakistan came to Aus for a 3-0 thrashing. I am the only Pak who voted for a 3-0.
And why not. We have not played test cricket as much in last 24 months. Our players barely stay for 50 overs of a ODI, they are mostly in T20 mode. This is really a very thumping win for Austrailia. They showed their class and we showed ours.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
I dont think the responsibility is just limited to individual players or the talent of the players. Everybody choked except Umar Akmal, and partly the reason is that Umar Akmal is fairly new to the team. You guys desperately need a Miandad and a Chetan Sharma.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
Amaizing win by Aussies, no wonder they are no 1 team of the world (ok I am not talking about ICC ratings here).
Culprit in chief: with 3 dropped catches, 1 missed run out, no batting ..u guess it Kamran Akmal
Culprit'd Deputy: Misbah Ul Haq (I guess he just had his last appearance on the international cricket arena)
they dont say "catches win matches" for nothing !
While I can understand the openers trying to get some quick runs to ease the pressure, not sure why everyone else was trying to hit out. At some point, maybe after Yousuf went, should have set up tent and decided to grind it out. Kamran Akmal was nuts with some of the shots he was trying.
Aussie commentators are the worst homers. Wont hear the end of this now.
Still, several positives for Pakistan, esp given how young this team is. After first test, who would have predicted Pak would enter day 4 with a strong chance to win.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
Yousuf is accepting that his shot was pathetic and he is accepting that his bad shot was the turning point ..
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
Pakistani Crick Team just need Psychotherapy to assure them that they can win against Australia. They are not mentally prepare to win against Aussies.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
This is one of the worst loses I have seen. BULL!
So, Moyo has put all blame to his poor shot selection in last innings. He needs to understand that his bad captaincy is also a major factor in this loss besides many other things
Yousuf is accepting that his shot was pathetic and he is accepting that his bad shot was the turning point ..
he took all the blame!!!!!!!!

East or west
Australia is the best
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
gadhay!
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
Yousuf did make a good point -- regardless of what happened int he first session today and how we could not get the 9th and 10th wickets, on this type of wicket, 150 overs available, a team should be able to chaes 176 runs.... we need to seriously think about what happened after losing the openers today..
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
Yousuf yahan tu batting blame accept ker raha hai.. but in reality it was his captaincy that let us down today.
