**Official** Pakistan in Australia Thread

And Pakistani batsmen's inability to defend of the backfoot, I suppose, though I am not watching.

Lol yeah, but as a McGrath fan, I'd like to think it's him.

Ponting dropping alot of catches recently

That is probably a fair assessment. I would have thought they might have worked it out how to play on The WACA given they played a tour match.

EDIT: McGrath has Razzaq caught behind, it was a nothing shot, playing away from his body, opening the blade up, no footwork, he deserved what he got.

4/49.

You're right, and it's a bit of a worry since he's always been one of the most reliable fielders for the Aussies.

 

[Craig]

should be able to come in next now if Pakistan lose their next wicket.

I was right and was out first ball, McGrath on a hat-trick, 5/49.

Oh dear.

 

[Craig]

No hat-trick. Good leave.

Incidently McGrath has figures of 5/12.

At this rate it will be over before lunch. What a turn around, I thought Pakistan would really be in it when they had Australia at 5/78, but talk about losing the plot and then some.

No hat-trick. Good leave.

Despite 7 slips and a silly mid on

 

[parttimer]

IMO Inzy was pretty unlucky and for those watching the telecast greig is as blind as a bat. Nine of course won't show snicko

Yeah, are you following by radio, cricinfo, or somehow have scored TV coverage?

Actually it looked like he did nick and it sounded like it. Either that he just missed the edge of the bat.

 

[parttimer]

Inzy's reaction said it all

 

[Craig]

Maybe he was disappionted he got out when he was needed to stay in.

 

[andyc]

I've got cricinfo up, and a webcast of the game as well. But the webcast keeps stopping and starting so I only get maybe one or two balls an over. And it just happened to stop when it was looking at the field for the hatrick ball, so I counted them all.

 

[parttimer]

Maybe, but i'd like to know why 9 are so reluctant to show snicko and it appeared richie had his doubts aswell.

 

[andyc]

You're right it definetely moved off the bat.

 

[Jono]

McGrath's got 6 now.

 

[Craig]

Kamran Akmal gone for 0, career best figures a chance?

Mohammad Sami is in.

 

[andyc]

McGrath's got 6 now.

And to think his place was in question a few months ago...

 

[andyc]

Pakistan require another 500 runs with 4 wickets remaining。
Well that's encouraging.

 

[Jono]

McGrath has another one. I think he can get 10 here!
