*Official* Pakistan in Australia

[Hurricane]

I think the rest of the session will be slow going run rate wise. Pakistan will play some shots after lunch maybe.

 

[Jono]

This is really good stuff from Pakistan.

Someone mentioned earlier that there's heavy rain forcast for days 4 and 5. Can anyone confirm? If so, then perhaps the run rate needs to be accelarated.

BOM says a few showers.

Too early to think about that, though. Reckon Pakistan need to get over the Aussies total before thinking about how they're going to set the game up. Still plenty in the deck for the Aussies to work with.

Would be so ****ing gun if Pakistan wipe off Australia's lead without losing a wicket.[/jinx]

 

[Fusion]

Another edge! Didn't carry.

Farhat; whiskey tango foxtrot.

MoYo needs to bollock him at lunch for a shot like that and just strolling back into his crease. My God, they're so close to really putting the Aussies under pressure and he does that. ****.

 

[Fusion]

WTF is Farhat doing?

 

[Jono]

Haha he was almost run out walking back to the crease.

 

[Noble One]

Afridi like brain explosion from Farhat. What makes a batsmen who has been playing with incredible sense all morning suddenly flay at something like that?

 

[Hurricane]

That was school boy cricket.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Which is why Kasprowicz shouldn't have been out at Edgbaston in 2005.

Let's be honest though. That looked out.

 

[howardj]

The SCG - a wonderful blend of the old and the new.

 

[Top_Cat]

Geez, did both the batters' brains fall out? Half-an-hour until lunch, FFS.

 

[pasag]

We're ****ed.

 

[Burgey]

Let's be honest though. That looked out.

So did a heap of the lbws given against Australia that series, but they weren't. Whole series should be expunged from the record books.

A wicket has to fall soon surely. The lack of run scoring is leading to a lot of pressure out there.

Haha. I can tell the record books will be a lot lighter on that logic.

 

[Jono]

Imran Farhat almost ran himself out.

 

[silentstriker]

Pakistan are doing well, but I think they are letting themselves get bogged down a little bit. It's not the time, nor the run rate, but I think they might be too tentative then getting nervous (like this run out chance, and that walk out the crease).

Minor critisism for a team in such great position, but I'd just try to be a little bit more positive, if nothing else than for my frame of mind.
