**Official** Pakistan in Australia Thread

[wahindiawah]

just heard the first twelve are:

Inzamam-ul-Haq (capt), Salman Butt, Imran Farhat, Yousuf Youhana, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami, Danish Kaneria, Mohammed khalil

seems like razzaq and malik battling for 1 spot!

No Asif or yasir hameed and shoiab and sami are back

I think they have made up their mind and will go with Khalil in the test matches and Asif won't be required.

And the way Hameed has been performing lately, i don't think he will be required to play for Pakistan in any test matches in Australia.

 

[from_da_lost_di]

rana naveed should've been played instead of khalil !!

Pakistan vs Australia series

Hey, does anyone know whether Dish Network or any Asian Channel in North America will broadcast the live coverage of Pakistan vs Australia Test Series. I've constantly been checking the website of Dish Network, but it doesn't have any updates on this series. Any response will be appreciated!

I think its important batsmen come to form in tour games. Butt and Youhana seem to be in form, specially Butt from their performance in this and the previous game. Younis Khan has also got a good knock although I am not sure if he will make the test XI.

Inzamam is a class player who has to deliver if Pakistan want to compete.

Pakistan will lose to Australia barring some sort of extra ordinary turn around. But I think their batting wont collapse totally like they are doing in the tour matches...

 

[wahindiawah]

Just 3 guys got some runs in this match.Those happen to be Butt,Razzak and youhanna!

The fact that not even once did pakistan team built up a good total in the side games in Australia suggest how poorly equipped are Pakistani batsmen. I think this series will become a nightmare for Pakistani batsmen.

 

[Shindig]

yeah.. and india play superbly against aussies

 

[Tony Blade]

Thats pretty stupid! Even when India was BEATING Pakistan i wasn't here!! Simply coz i was too busy and didn't had time for CW!

And i'm not trying to degrade Pakistan, whatever i'm saying is utter truth, and the way Pakistan are batting against a weak opp0onent (44-6) is clear prrof of that!

I just find it odd that your last 40 or so posts involved degrading the team in some way.

[exuberance]

umm I duuno how the D's got replaced with smileys...
Razzaq will definitly play now...
so either Malik is not gonna play...
or Razzi will play as a fourth seamer with Khalil playing too..

 

[Tony Blade]

Tough call, but I think we might need Malik. And Razzaq didnt do too badly in the 2nd test (as a bowler)

 

[SJS]

Tough call, but I think we might need Malik. And Razzaq didnt do too badly in the 2nd test (as a bowler)

I think Pakistan needs both.

 

[Tony Blade]

My point, exactly.

 

[Jnr.]

Justin Langer lbw b Shoaib Akhtar 4 (in the first over)

 

[Mister Wright]

Justin Langer lbw b Shoaib Akhtar 4 (in the first over)

Langer isn't having much fun against the Pakistan attack.

 

[Beleg]

Anyone in Perth watched the game? If so, can you update us on the pitch condition and the strenght of WA? I cannot use Cricinfo since it is hanging my computer.

 

[Richard]

What I wouldn't give to have Pre-2000 Moin and Wasim back!

I wouldn't mind a Saeed Anwar from the same time and a pre-1996 Waqar either!
Sadly all the best players don't play at the same time!

Haaaaaaaaa, haaaaaaaaa.
Whenever ":" followed by "D" (the first letter of Dorey) is typed on CW.n, is the automatic result.
That's the problem with using a direct copy-paste from a scorecard of this type.
More funny results are an intreguing possibility.

Good comeback from 78-5 down but still dissapionting.If they bat like this against aus they wont even get past 100.Still if sami can make 24 and he is a tailender why cant the top players do the same.
