**Official** Pakistan in Australia Thread

Aaaaahhhh Kaspa ruined it!!!!!!

You can go out now

 

[Slow Love™]

As in crummy at it.

That's probably Kenny's point. You put the crummy bowlers on so they don't take any wickets - that way, when McGrath comes on for a new spell, the ten wicket haul is still available. Of course, it's all academic now...

Heh, yeah. If Brett Lee had been playing, this might never have happened, and McGrath could have pulled it off.

 

[andyc]

Awwww... bugger.

 

[KennyD]

I remember when Kumble was on 9, about to get all 10, his bowling partner (a paceman) was just bowling these shocking short balls way on the off side. It was quite funny, really.

Yes Srinath I think it was, he bowled like evry ball about a meter outside off stump, and even got called for a wide a few times.

LOL! It's kind of funny when you think about it that way.

Yeah thats the one

I remember a couple of seasons back when S Waugh rated Haydens medium pacers, and used him a bit against the W Indies. He also took a few wickets that year of QLD, and hes bowled a bit in England before.

But then I remember that experiment with him as bowler stopped when I think Chris Nevin it was took 18 off his only over in ODIs.

 

[andyc]

Lol Kasper apologised to McGrath

 

[KennyD]

damn Kaspa and his monster @ss....

Should have brought LAnger on...

 

[Craig]

Mohammad Khalil has his first Test runs.

 

[andyc]

Nah, should've brought on Gilchrist. That way you eliminate the possiblity of bowled, lbw AND caught behind.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Well now they've got a reason to sack Kaspa.

I can just imagine the smug expressions on the Aussie faces now. So annoying. The game's not won yet!

 

[Craig]

And some free runs - lol.

True, it's not. But what are the odds of Shoaib Akhtar (highest score 37), and Khalil (just got his first runs today), racking up 492 against the Aussies?

very likely then...

 

[andyc]

Woah Kasper bowling quite short here. Do you think he might be trying to let McGrath get some more? Because you'd think against the tailenders he'd just aim straight at the stumps

Yes it is, it was won the moment Pakistan turned up in th team bus.

Typical tall-poppy syndrome, just gotta cut those tall, pretty flowers down...

yes his last 5 balls after Khalli had that wild slog and miss have been short ones.

Probably thought "Whoops, nearly took a wicket there, better bowl short"

 

[Craig]

Shoaib out. 8 for McGrath, best figures for him and for an Aussie against Pakistan.

Boring.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I've got a 25 cent piece that says they break 90.
