*Official* Australia vs Pakistan in England

[Manee]

Aamer's bowling really convinces me that I should go around the wicket more often - it is just a hard one to get a consistent line with.

Shocking field set up by Butt for Kaneria ...doing another Yousuf here..

 

[slowfinger]

We need Aamer to show up here...

 

[Oscillatingmind]

Oh ffs is it Amir or Aamer?

Now for the ton punter

Love him or hate him, Punter's had one fine career. 12,000 Test runs, awesome achievement.

 

[Jayzamann]

Needs to eek out a big ton here, erase the deficeit with hopefully 2-3 wickets down, and look to get his career average closer to 55 like it was before he landed in England.

Wow, what a way to simply dish out the lead to the opposition....crap captaincy from Butt....should have brough Asif and Amir back on right after tea...

 

[slowfinger]

Ok can't se this going well. By the time OZ stop trailing we better get like 2 wickets or I won't be happy

 

[Faisal1985]

Australia to win this test as well...

The field set up is embarrassing and pathetic..what pains me is that they learnt absolutely nothing from Sydney..Butt is just as pathetic a captain as Yousuf..I dont understand..Waqar Younis was an aggressive fast bowler during his time..he is doing nothing sitting on his arse in the dressing room now..Cant he send a message across that the field set up is just embarrassing and pathetic?

 

[Faisal1985]

Bring Asif back....come on ...Kaneria is useless...

He was there in Sydney as well as a bowling coach wasn't he?

 

[slowfinger]

WTF go on let Punter get his 50...

 

[vcs]

Well I am hoping he will change that in this match and be our Marcus North..
Both are pathetic batsmen..if they can pick up some useful wicket..at least they add some value

Umar Amin looks quite promising to me.

 

[Faisal1985]

I think Pak bowlers may be tired...especially the fast bowlers....they have been bowling quite a bit no?

 

[Faisal1985]

Finally Asif comes on.....i would put Gul from the other end and give clear instructions to bowl it full and at high pace....let them hit drives if they want....

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm bowling a side out for 33.1 overs would drain them quite a bit I can imagine.

Then you've got the notoriously hot and humid English weather to contend with.

Must be knackered out there.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Gul has no control over his lenght now..he has lost it..bowling short, over pitched, no balls..

Also Butt has pushed the field back...allowing easy singles..no pressure on Clarke and Ponting..

Seriously, we are just so good at gifting matches to teams...the 50 to Ponting was a gift...maybe it will be a 100 now.
