**Official** Pakistan in Australia Thread

[Langeveldt]

how long before richard logs on here and calls them all lucky wickets?

Give him a few hours..

 

[Langeveldt]

he seems to have gone AWOL in the last couple of days...

By his methods, Lara's mammouth 501 should not really count because he was dropped by Chris Scott before he had reached 50.. Hes probably gone to wonder what on earth he has been talking about..

Enough is enough, the ICC must take some action. Pakistan and Bangladesh should be deprived of test status untill these nation improve and are able to compete with other nation.

And so should the West Indies, for being bowled out for 47 by Harmison...England, for being bowled out for 79 and losing by 384 runs to Australia...India, for losing by 342 runs at home...South Africa, for being well and truly trounced in Sri Lanka...heck, let's just have Australia against Australia "A". Would solve it all!

Those happen to be few selected example, in contrast in the case of Pakistan sub hundred score is now a norm!

Look what happened to NZ against Australia. We got bowled out for less than 80 up at the GABBA. Pakistan have the talent to be sensational on their day and world cricket needs a team like that. Expect the Unexpected. To strip them of test status would mean the ICC are setting a precident to the other nations that if they get thrashed by aussie then their test status will be taken from them..it just doesn't make sense. Give yourself an uppercut son

 

[Son Of Coco]

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...

haha, very true Kenny.

 

[Son Of Coco]

No doubt.

Strip Pakistan of test status and grant it to Japan, I'll captain them.

I spent a year there, I'll throw my hand up as a bowler.

 

[Son Of Coco]

must be overwhelmed by McGraths luck

hahaha, no doubt he's pencilling a detailed explanation at this very moment.

 

[cricket player]

pakistan will thrash aussie's in the odi series.

If you read the statements of Ponting and M Waugh, they are very concerned over the performance of the fourth ranked team in world.Everyone like to win but spiritless performance by the opponent put off even the victorious team.Its really a shame that in a country of 140 Million, there isn't a single batsman of world class. Farhat, Hameed, Akmal and Razzak are laughing stocks, and Inzi and Youhanna simply donn't have the courage to face the great Aussies.

Shame!

If that happend to every test nation that played australia how many would be left? Just because they don't always play well against australia doesn't mean they should lose their test status. If you want to lose a cult following of cricket in pakistan go ahead, ( guessing about the cult following )

Im hoping it will be a tight series but pakistan just win, even though im aussie myself

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Come now, what did we expect against Australia at home? A good fight?

 

[marc71178]

and given that this simple system produces many many errors, has people complaining about the results and has cause match changing situations, i think i wouldnt mind the odd 2 minute delay.

Except it won't be the "odd 2 minute delay".

 

[marc71178]

im guessing they would still go for their policy of team comes ahead of individual player right?

I think he was meaning that with Lee on there was only a chance of wickets from the other end?

 

[marc71178]

pakistan will thrash aussie's in the odi series.

That's a very brave comment to make - can you really say you believe it to be so?

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah I know im kidding myself

 

[imranrabb]

pakistan will be more comfortable in the odi series and remember the nearly beat australia twice in the last 6 months losing by small margins

 

[marc71178]

There's a huge difference between getting close and winning.

One of the hallmarks of this Aussie side is that they win a much greater percentage of the close games than they lose.
