*Official* Australia vs Pakistan in England

[Jayzamann]

Hard to fathom that this game is only just halfway through.

 

[_Ed_]

Have to feel for Pakistan. NZ fans know the feeling! Although for us it was Glenn McGrath, so that's even worse. At least Hilf has a FC average in double figures.

 

[Jayzamann]

3 overs of pace was enough. And 8 overs was enough to get rid of pace altogether.

 

[Jarquis]

Hilfeh's second FC half century. Pretty much the only Australian player I like. Katich not bad either I guess.

With Hilf on 56*, I was just checking what the highest score was for an Aussie #10 and am shocked to find that Glenn McGrath holds a batting record...his 61 is the highest score for an Aussie #11

...oh and 104 is the highest #10 score, which was scored way back in 1902

 

[Jayzamann]

I've been waiting for this innings to end for ages now, I can finally go get some food.

Will never forget the "Oh **** off!" from Gilly as he saw McGrath's slog-sweep for 6

Hilfeh gets his maiden fifty, some good shots also funny seeing Dougeh hitting a few.

MCC Spirit of Cricket test series scipt: Test 1

-Pakistan win the toss and send Australia in to bat
-After a reasonably good start, Australia collapse massively
-At the start of day 2, Pakistan faff about while Hussey and Bollinger add another 10 or so runs
-Pakistan bat and do a Pakistan'. They are all out for less than 200.
-Australia bat again and get 350-400. Clarke tons up.
-Pakistan flail around again and lose by 200 or so runs.


Sounds about right to me.

you are almost right here mate.. it is just heart breaking expecting anything more than that..i am so disappointed.. Pakistan had a chance to finally beat Aus..but pakistani batsman crap their pants even before they face any Aussie bowlers..

 

[Faisal1985]

What an acheivement by Imran....he managed not to get out in the first over...

Did i hear beat Australia! Dude that's like asking for a sunny day in England....

 

[AaronK]

see this is what piss me off... Imran farhat.. even if he plays over 100 deliveries.. there is a chance that he can through his wicket cheaply the next delievery after that....

That's why he is the biggest PARCHI in the team.

 

[Faisal1985]

Well Fart survived that one...

 

[Faisal1985]

hmm....Bollinger is being taken to cleaners here.....please don't lose your wicket in the process Butt....so bad are the Pak batting vowes that Butt is our only hope....

 

[Faisal1985]

Hilfenhaus to Imran Farhat, FOUR, 84.2 mph, the Pakistan openers are starting to find their feet now! It was a decent delivery, on a length just outside off and Farhat just angled it past backward point, but right out of the middle of the bat. The sun has come out in the last few hours, the pitch is easing up and the outfield is quickening!

Does this mean, we may have a game on here....?

Yeah, the Aussie tailenders were making it look pretty simple and traditionally the Lord's wicket eases out as the match progresses. Pakistan will still need a chase of a lifetime to win this though.
