Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
I watched the first three wickets to fall, I would say that first two were good deliveries, Butt's wicket was a blinder, and whatever happened after that was pathetic...
wht is the problem with Akmal brothers, one makes 49 and gets out, and the other make 20 odd runs and throws away the wicket. Misbah did not play his role at all. Openers did a good job, Farhat, went to a good delivery as well, Faisal had an excellent delivery and then Haddin took an awfully difficult catch and made it look easy, Senior Akmal needs to wake up now...

Stupid stupid stupid.....
I am about 1 millimeter away from completely giving up on this team! - How could let the lion eat you after the lion is in the cage and you have the key??????!!!!!!
MoYo cannot be captain - period -
I don't think its Akmal - a good captain can lead his men - Imran did so often - !!
Pakistan will LOSE this Test. I have NO doubts about it. We do not have the batsmen to chase a target anywhere over 125 in the fourth innings. Not against the Aussies. These guys are jins.
I won't blame Akmals' for their batting mishaps. After a looooong time we have got a good batsman (ie Umar Akmal) who needs some guidance and mentoring. As far as Kamran Akmal is concerned, you can't rely upon him every time there is a batting collapse. I do think, he needs to come one down though.
I think, Misbah and Faisal have no space in our batting lineup. Our openers are doing OK job now, giving 50+ runs start more often which we were lacking for so long.
Yousuf needs to take more responsibility for his batting and captaincy. I personally think he shouldn't be made captain at all, as he is not a captain material.
I also think, shahid afridi should come to test side as well and captain the side as well. He is aggressive and experienced player.
123 run 9th wicket partnership :) What happened to the much hyped Pak bowling attack ??
This is pathetic...
Bowlers were doing their job but fielders (keeper) dropped 3 catches of Hussey, one of Siddle (both being 9th wicket partners)... so there is the answer to 'much hyped bowling attack' :-)

50 runs partnership is okay for ODIs or T20, not for Test.
Yousuf does need to answer his approach on 4th day morning, then his own batting debacle (not being able to lead from the front). Then we have middle-order issues like Faisal Iqbal, Misbahul Haq MBA.

Tailenders ko"Clean bowled" nahin kar sakte the ? :D
My sympathies are with the zinda qoom, it really must be very very painful.
The jokers+chokers have yet again proved me right again that they are bunch of jokers and no hopers.
Just a pathetic side.
Squeeky Akmal is the worst keeper in international cricket. Only thing the joker is good at is screaming.
I don't care if they win T20 Fun Cricket World Cup again or its World Class batsman score a triple century in Asia or play a 'winning innings' in Asia, simple fact is they are a rubbish.
How come no one is criticisng the so called coach Intikhab Alam. Surely, he should also be held accountable.
I wonder who big mouth Javed is blaming this time. If it was Bob Woolmer or Geoff Lawson than he would have blamed them.
I rest my case:
T20 Tallybaz World Cup Champions = Jokers+chokers+losers
Well, they are the number 1 test team :) Can't dispute that...
Coming back to the topic however, what happened to the Aamers, Aasifs & Kanerias ? You can blame fielding to an extent, but allowing a 123 run 9th wkt partnership is pretty atrocious bowling.
