Feel for Asif if Ponting had been taken he could have eaten the North's and the Haddin's in early seaming conditions defintley deserves better figures.

Have sen most of it since he's been about 60 and thought it was top century

But then I saw the drop

**** me, the Pakistanis are woeful fieldsmen

Even the catch of Watto was technically all over the place and reminded me of how 3rd graders used to field in the slips (bend down, stand up, bend down again)

Was talking about Clarke tbh.

So annoyed that I haven't been able to see either ton though :(

Not like they're even out of it ffs. 2 quick wickets and they can start fresh tomorrow at the tail with a semi-new ball.

And that is the most baffling part of it all. Bangladesh showed more spine when they toured here in 2003 then what Pakistan are showing.

This is such sad cricket right now.

Yep. Made sadder by the fact both Asif and Kaneria are good enough to bowl a dry line 6 inches outside off, rather than 3 feet.

I remember Warne getting wided in tests when he bowled around the wicket and pitched it outside leg. They ought to do the same when quicks bowl so wide of the off stump so consistently.

Ponting nearly committed suicide with his pull shot at the start of his innings again.

Still, good on him - to get out of a slump and post 100. He looks much better now.

Good knock from Clarke too, even though it would've been preferable had he done this in Sydney etc. But never mind.

Pakistan have also played some negative cricket - it is mind-numbingly boring watching bowlers pitch their deliveries close to the return crease on the other end.

i didn't watch the match.. just checking out the scorecard now.. i didn't watch it becuase this is going to be another one sided match.. there is no way Pakistan would win this even if Aus would have beenn dismissed under 100.. what Pakistan needs is to learn how to win... the team is young and unexprience.. they need a leader who give them the confident that they can win any match against any time.. they are scard and nervous in facing Aus and their leader and captain should play and lead them out of this fear..unfortunatly, yousuf is not the right person for this job..

They just need to hold their catches.

This series is a prime example of the old addage "catches win matches".
