Got some good turn.Hmm, I think it's a gamble bowling Hauritz here - could completely relieve all the pressure.
Hmmm. We don't get the lunchtime show in New Zealand, sadly. But, we do get to see all of the cricket. Is it me, or are they constantly talking about "Saying goodbye to their Sydney viewers..." to go to the news or the latest American sitcom?FMD, Warne in the nets on the Cricket Show at lunch putting on a clinic. Answering emails by showing how to bowl the different balls. He's landed the first 5 on a 10 cent piece and spun them miles. Man is a deadset freak. How to bowl the quicker leggie was especially interesting imo.

I think the batsman will get their temperaments worn down by batting at 1.5 runs an over and will get out. I think half an hour after lunch they need to accelerate to 3 an over. That said if Hauritz is going to turn the ball square then they just need to survive against him.Gripping session of credit. Full credit to Butt and Farhat for how they approached the morning up until about 30 minutes ago. Don't see any reason why Pakistan should change the tempo of the game, if they are still batting in this fashion at 5pm, then fair enough. But as it stands, they are still behind, the wicket is still tough, the Australian bowlers have been on the money all morning, don't change the approach to batting.
Yes, I discussed this issue with the girl on the switchboard last evening when they told us they were staying with the cricket right through, then pissed off to the news when Dougeh got out.Hmmm.

Dunno if it's been mentioned yet, but wonderful bit of sour grapes from The Herald Sun:
.
"DRUG-TAINTED quick Mohammad Asif destroyed Australia..."
Yeah, a real charmer. Also mentions Asif spoke in "broken English". What's the relevance?!? Talk about cheap shot.
Yeah lot of people were disappointed about the lack of application of the Australian batsmen..I think this is what happens when you are used to playing on easy conditions, flat wickets...I believe Ponting and Clarke are two of the most accomplished batsmen in the world today and have the calibre to play in these situations but the reason they failed was because they are simply not used to playing on these pitches. Its a bit like how after a 2 week vacation, waking up at 6 on Monday morning becomes all the more difficult.Is that guy for real ? Not worth talking about that drivel in much more depth.
But yes, very dissapointed in the Aussie batsmen, I love a greentop, it sorts out the men from the buys, I was looking forward to a dour scrap, looks like there's a few 'boys' in the team who haven't seen a greentop for a while
Nope..I read a piece in the Australian I think a month back with the headlines "drug cheat Asif raring to go against the Aussies"No-one really brought it up regarding Asif UNTIL he took a 5-fer - at least, not so prominently. Really lame.
