Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Last over before lunch and the moron goes to cut and gets caught. 
North to Umar Akmal, OUT, 55.2 mph, gone! Would you believe it. North the destroyer. There was some extra bounce outside off as Umar tried to cut and it took a top edge to Clarke at slip. What a blow for Pakistan.
**Umar Akmal c Clarke b North 22 (30b 3x4 1x6) SR: 73.33 **
and once again Umar akmal has thrown his wicket away in test cricket. What was the need for being adventurous in the last over of the session?

216/4 at lunch.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
So Pakistan nay thaika lay lia hay kissi bhi unknown bowler ko azeem bowler bananay ka :D
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
thats TEST for you pakistan will ave to make a world record to win this one not easy playing 4th day 4th inning ..
I think Pakistan have done better then expected
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Pakistan may still win this match by chance and not by sinsere effort… 
PS: I don’t think our tailenders are able to put up some 100-150 runs…but with Pakistan you never know… 
^ well one thing we know for sure. Pakistan had already lost this match when the let Aus pile up 400+ lead.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
so the captain leading from front in hitting un necessarily
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
strong comments from holding abt afridi's shot.
part timers getting wickets again
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Stupid! Captain!
so its North's Turn to become a BIG bowler now. I am sure bowlers will start fighting over spots in the team against Pakistan. I mean where else can an average bowlers take 5 wickets? and that too in 30 minutes?
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Pakistan has once again conspired to keep North in team. He failed with the bat and they made sure he plays again in next match so gifted him 4 wickets!!!
Its all part of a big plan I tell ya! :D
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Really disappointed in Afridi's dismissal. He needs to play like he has started to play in LOI recently. Just pick and choose.
He needs to justify his place in test squad and this is not the way! He was a reluctant bowler in this match and he needs to perform with both bat and ball.
Impressed with Azhar Ali.. looks solid.
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Salman Butt's dismissal was really the key point in my opinion. He was the man who should have stayed right till the end while others play around him.
Pitch has nothing anymore. Its a usual Lord's pitch now. If only we hadnt lost needless wickets of Umar Akmal and Afridi in this manner.....
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Afridi has just made the case stronger that he does not even belong to Test team let alone be the captain of it ...

I know. If amir can stay at the wicket for 26 balls (and still not out) I am sure Afridi and Umer were more than capable of batting through
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Pakistan are playing with 10-men...as Afridi should not be counted as a batsman...

He did. However, I am sure he will come around to play bit sensibly in next match as I am sure he will be the first one to admit that team needed him to play destructively and NOT self destructively .. just like he is doing in ODIs now.
North the living legend, the greatest !!! 
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
if these two stayed till 340 , aussies will be really worried
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
There goes Akmal and any chance of victory. Oh well...
Re: Pakistan vs Australia - First Test (July 13-17)
Will we hit 300?
