**Official** Pakistan in Australia Thread

[Richard]

It's only a 12-a-sider, wouldn't pay too much attention.

 

[Mister Wright]

Lol

Is Shaun Tait in contention? He is pretty quick too and there was a lot of talk about him when India were there. So will he get in any soon?

He won't get in the test side soon, not with Kaspa bowling so well & Lee on the fringes. But maybe next season, possibly we could see him at some stage during the VB series.

I did say for pure enjoyment.

For the batsmen's enjoyment?
Seeing Sami battle with Lee to deliver the most poor deliveries of the match might be entertaining for some - not really for me.

I would rather see the hapless Kiwis stay on for three more Test matches, than watch the woefully uncompetitive Pakistan get trounced. The Aussies have dealt with Akhtar and co before. And, quite frankly, their batting - on Australian pitches - will be an absolute laughing stock.

If he keeps going - Ashes tour for sure.

Nah - I'd rather watch Pakistan - at least they have some flair. The Kiwis were just boring this time.

Pak managed just 257 against WA 2nd eleven, with only Younis Khan managing respectable figures.

I think Pak batting will have to show better application against Australian national side otherwise they would struggle to get to a total of even as low as 150.

 

[Crazy Sam]

the teams seemed to get runs quickly though...

I notice that at no point when India were being beaten by Australia were you here.

And also the Pakistani members were not crowing at India.

So why do you only feel the need to come on here and have a go at Pakistan when your side is just as poor?

 

[Dydl]

That is a fair point.

 

[Craig]

How come this isn't topped when the tour has began?

This series its self doesn't really interest me that much. 3-0 to Australia.

Possibly. But I think Pakistan will be more competitive than NZl.

 

[Beleg]

Danesh Kaneria takes 7-45 as WA 2nd XI falls for 192.

Two of Pakistan's main batsmen [those who have been to OZ before] didn't bat in our first innings, I personally think the first-class match against WA will be better indicative of where Pakistan stands.

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Even still, 2 of your batsmen didnt play, I think its a great effort so far from our boys. None of these players are regular starters for the WA 1sts. Some havn't even played a FC game at all. Bloody top effort. Sami and Akhtar showed a good bit of pace bowling in the first session while I was there, had our boys jumping around a fair bit. Let it slip a bit when Razzaq and Asif came on.

Edit: Coetzee has ripped em! 5/66 in the first, and 5/23 with Pakistan struggling at 6/44 at stumps. Will be a good first session tommorow. Youhana and Khan are at the crease, will go either way, but i'm kleaning Pakistan.

What A Terrible & Shamefull Display Off Top Order Batting By Pakistan
And Very Well Played Western Australia
Well Done

"Will" is a dangerous word in predictions.

u guyz think pakistan would still win tomorrow

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!

 

[wahindiawah]

It hardly matters. Even if the do win it, it won't change the fact that Pakistan is a 100 run teat team in Australia

 

[PAKMAN]

ok now i call that degrading
being our rival i understand but
this is an international forum so lets just b nice to each other
and lets keep these disturbing comments till after the games
hope ud understand
thanks
