Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
Any predictions if both batsmen will get their double tons?
395/3 Partnership 324 runs already
*lag gaye jee lag gaye!! *
chalo jee iss ka matlab yeh hua k hum Australia kee khoob PIDDI lagain gey *unn sey ek dafa batting karwa k hum khud do dafa batting karein gey *
My prediction: innings defeat on day 4
unless, couple of our batsman does the trick, which I dont think is gonna happen.. I see barely reaching fourth day, declaration will be coming at the third session of 2nd day.

^ That's purely academic. Batting problems are there and we all know about it but lack of self-belief is our enemy no.1. The batters might still surprise us as Hobart is not an impossible wicket to bat on. Patience and application is the key....but after all that has gone on recently do the players really believe themselves that they can do it? That is the big Q
Farhat is going to score a triple century...
chew on that Ponting...
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
Congrats to Punter for double ton :k:
Oh BTW, 4th wicket… now each bowler has a wicket except for Malik.
I am surprised Yousuf is using Malik for bowling 
but why not try other part-timers like Farhat/Butt?
24 overs remaining till tea and currently Aussies at 431/4, they will probably reach 500 at tea then declare.
Ponting's 5th test double hundred thanks to that dropped catch
well-played Ponting 204* :)
431/4
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
Finally Punter gone for 209... Aussie 443/5
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
They're showing Australian prime minister bowling to kids and clean bowling one of them. Can our prime minister do that?

dont know about PM but president will do it for 10% of Moyo's earnings of year

Pretty funny, but false nevertheless. He doesn't do it for less than 90% these days.
519/8d
Allah kher kare
With the fall of that wicket, Ponting declares the innings closed
Danish Kaneria to Johnson, OUT, caught! charges the delivery but doesn't get to the pitch of it, skying it to the on side, the keeper runs out to square leg to take the catch
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
Aussies declare at 519/8
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
Pakistan to be bundled out around 320-350??
What a difference a (dropped) catch makes
Had Aamer not dropped Ponting when he was on nought, Australia might have struggled to get to even 300
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
So what's the verdict on Sarfraz? I think he was pretty good. He took three catches but unfortunately, that's the only three catches he'll take in this match. Australia are unlikely to bat again.
Technically he dropped a catch against Kaneria, but I won't hold that against him because it was a faster ball, and a big deflection off the bat, hence pretty hard to catch.
Sarfraz is a better keeper (which is his primary job) than Kamran for sure and I would stick with him in tests.

wait over a period of time......kamran was good too on his debut.......
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
lo g, one down.. 63 is the score..
farhat Gone.. :s
Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
It took Khuraam 3 balls to prove me right that Kamran would have been a better # 3, much much better.
If he was played, he would have (to me)without any doubt would have loved this batting track and scored more than a few runs
