*Official* Pakistan in Australia

[Craig]

Johnson on a hat-trick.

 

[four_or_six]

Looks like Johnson's got his mojo back.

 

[pasag]

woot!

 

[Fusion]

Well Pakistan implode in the very first over. What joy.

 

[Top_Cat]

haha, Good lord. Even I didn't see it coming quite this quickly.

 

[Neil Pickup]

My body clock won't cope if this finishes this quick.

 

[Uppercut]

Decent start for Johnson then.

 

[Craig]

Johnson annoys the hell out of me, he can be deadly, can put batsmen in hospital and be unplayable, but then there are times when he can barely land the ball on the cutting strip, and was talk of him getting dropped from the team. I guess the true definition of a shock bowler.

 

[Top_Cat]

Decent start for Johnson then.

Not at all. Would have nothing if the batsmen had just left them.

Or something.

 

[Craig]

I reckon you would of been a brave batsman to have left those two balls to the 'keeper.

 

[pasag]

australia scored at a slower rate in the 2nd ing, they should have attacked more. It is still their game to lose.

Did you watch at all? Constant wickets were falling and every time we tried to attack we failed. Pakistan dictated terms. At 3/40 and 6/160 we had to rebuild and ensure we weren't bundled out giving Pakistan all the time in the world to chase a lower score.

 

[ozone]

Bit disappointed really. Didn't think Pakistan would win, but thought they would at least put up a decent fight.

Reminds me of Thommo, never really sure which one would show up

0-50 off 5 overs one day

and then 3-15 off 5 overs the next

From a neutral's point of view, it's great to have Johnson around. Sure, he's inconsistent, but it's always good to see good quick bowling.

 

[Uppercut]

They were missing by quite a bit tbf- the commentators are making pretty good points now about how tight his angle is though.

 

[Sir Alex]

Miserable start by Pakistan. This could end very quickly. Johnson helping himself to some cheap wickets.

 

[Craig]

Kamran doesn't like moving his feet does he?

Yeah, excellent explanation of why Johnson gets so many wickets with 'bad' balls.

A leftie swinging the ball away is far tougher to leave than people give Johnson credit for, though. So many times the ball looks right in the slot. Reckon Boycs would have played Johnson well. And given him some lip for bowling so wide.

 

[Matt79]

Btw, JOHNERS!!!!! Wag. I wanna boof him, get him up here!

Edit: lol Taylor.
