Haha yeah it's becoming a ridiculous cliche, he's been doing it since his return. Nath is right though, he doesn't keep any rhythm and hence gets bogged until he either gets out or gets away with hitting one in the air. Poor way to bat, though he seems to do right for himself.
watto. Katman most at fault though. If he ever called or responded instead of just doin his own thing it might happen a little less often. Skull was sayin today he's now been involved in 9 runouts in tests with his partner being the victim in 8 instances. Yeah watto wasn't blameless but it katich was the main culprit. Hauritz promoted cause he won't choke in the 90's IMO
The pitch is flat and so I indeed expect Hauritz and Hussey more importantly to go and get that elusive australian hundred. However on any pitch swing will be a problem early on in the day so if Pakistan gets their pacers going with fairly new ball and get the early wickets we can see australia going kaput for about 400-450 which is not a bad score at all but cannot assure win.
"For himself" being spot on imo.
Alistair was a far better full-back than plenty give him credit for.
They'd never admit it, but they probably had that in the back of their mind. :P
We'll see what he has to say after Pakistan bat on it. Especially if Australia's fielders don't turn into special kids every time the ball goes to them in the air.
Didn't think it was that bad myself. This wicket is quite flat but has a little uneven bounce at times, whilst Faisalabad is an absolute road.
