*Official* Pakistan in Australia

The reason the Pakistanis were so tentative was because of lack of confidence. They have been batting so poorly, that even with Australia bundled out for 120, they dont feel confidence and safe.

Even us supporters are afraid to display confidence because we know the frail batting can collapse any time.

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.
Yeah but ffs I still managed to wake up, I didn't have a dozen shots and an all night orgy last night though which would be the equivalent of Ponting's first ball dismissal.

Mike: " agree with Ali Siddiqui..even tho I am an Aussie.. the openers played exactly the way the aussies should have played yesterday. The Aussie collapse shows what a debt they owe to Simon Katich over the past years...not one of Australia's most flamboyant players, but a man for tough times. God knows what a difference his presence could have made yesterday. "
A man for the tough times indeed....

This is a Watto-like performance vs spin from Faisal here. Haurie bowling well though.

Scores level. If they can bat until the end of the day, they can get a lead of 100+ (conservative estimate), which would be nice. Right now, there is so much time, that obviously Pakistan will just bat as long as they can, but if they get 150 lead, they may start playing a lot of shots tomorrow.

iqbal really is a waste of a batting spot
Yeah, think what a massive difference replacing him with Younis makes, transforms the entire lineup. Cannot really think of one change that would make such a difference in any side to be honest.

Well Shakib would be replaced by Mehrab Hossain...

Reckon a declaration here would be a really attacking move by MoYo, good for Test cricket, etc. :ph34r:
