*Official* Pakistan in Australia

[Days of Grace]

****, Taylor really sticking the boot in.

What is he saying?

 

[pasag]

Bitterness

 

[Ikki]

Exactly - they surely deserve to win the series. Any team with one or two good players will defeat AUS at the moment.

Put some toothpaste on it.

 

[Zinzan]

Put some toothpaste on it.

Shouldn't it read "wipe your chin"?

 

[DaRick]

I kind of feel for Pakistani supporters like Xuhaib and Fusion to be honest - it can't be easy having a batting lineup that collapses on a whim every second match or so + wasting prime positions so abjectly.

 

[Ilovecric]

Put some toothpaste on it.

how many good players in pakistan's team at the moment ? Pakistan don't even have a good keeper, and how close did pakistan come to victory ?

Wins like this does make AUS supporters very delusional about their standings.

No one is being delusional about it. It was a thrilling contest and that's pretty much what we all wanted too see.

 

[Sanz]

Thought about you earlier Xu.

For a moment I thought we had an Chinese member here.

To say it is their Headlingley, their best win etc is surely exageration and over reaction us Indians would be proud of. But there is no debating this was very much an "Australian" win as you can get. Right from the gallows stuff, remarkable.

 

[Noble One]

I couldn't care less about standings, or the politics of cricket, or who is the weaker team overall. Today was just a fantastic day of cricket, with some brilliant performances to force the most unlikely of results. If Australian fans are not allowed to be excited about today, then what is the point of following cricket?

Indeed, reason I actually found it more predictable rather than that surprising or shocking as many others seemed to. Anyone who's actually followed Pakistan cricket in the last 12 months would've known they were a decent chance of capitulating at the final hurdle.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Bull****! haha
Last time I checked in Pakistan were looking ok and Hauritz had bowled 2 overs for 13. I was going to log on and say 'get Hauritz off, we don't have enough runs to play with'

Can't belive we won it, wish I could have watched it but I'll have to make do with highlights online. Amazing stuff.

Call the Whambulance TBH! Quiting stroking your own ego would be a good start

Yes yes yes, ofcourse you should be freaking happy.

But I watch cricket to see good cricket being played - i'm not an AUS supporter or Pakistan supporter but I have been watching all the games to see some good cricket.

But enough of this, enjoy the win and be happy.

How many good Players Australia have at the moment ? Let's us see

For Pakistan I will say Umar, Asif, Kaneria, Aamer, Yousuf, Gul
For Australia, I will say Watson, Ponting, Johnson, Katich, Hussey, Clarke

For this test, IMO the teams were evenly balanced and If anything Pakistan bowling was better with Gul, Asif and Kaneria, Plus they were handed a huge advantage by Ponting after losing the toss.

 

[Spikey]

Wow unbelievable.Pakistan dominated for 3 days with 200 runs lead and Aus won it with one session of good play.

I would say Pakistan got into a match winning position on the back of two very good sessions, the match was fairly even for the next couple of days and then Australia won it with 2 very good sessions

 

[Redbacks]

Hauritz saving all his career 5 fers for test cricket Great fielding the key

 

[Ikki]

Totally agree!

Either you use it or you dont!

And if you wanna use it, have it SAME technology available for all...

I somewhat disagree. The ultimate fairness is getting as many decisions as possible right. Not using technology that is there because others don't have almost defeats the purpose of having this system.

We beat India at home and S.Africa away...how many decent players do they have? And this team is just getting more experienced as it gets going. Australia is inconsistent because of the lack of experience many of it's players have not necessarily beacuse we don't have talented players capable of consistency. We aren't actually a weak team at all; and you see that often when the players produce performances befitting their talent.

The point is hot spot and snicko should be everywhere.
