*Official* Australia vs Pakistan in England

[AaronK]

Would not be worrying about Hussey (in this innings at least) if I were you, really cannot see Dough hanging around for long tomorow morning.

It would be the batting lineup without a single proven quality test batsman in it that would be the more obvious concern.

Doughe looks better than Imran Farhat at the moment.. he played a cut shot and a stright drive... very good looking shots..

I think Pakistan can get 250 to 280.. but anything over that would be hard..

 

[Black_Warrior]

Bollinger..get out already

 

[Spark]

250 up, good to see.

 

[Nate]

Dougeh won't be forgetting all these bouncers. Maybe not the wisest move.

 

[Howsie]

Does anyone know how many people turned up for day one yesterday?

 

[Spark]

Oh boy I would not want to face Dougeh when he bowls.

Does anyone know how many people turned up for day one yesterday?

12000 I heard. Very respectable.

 

[AaronK]

Dougeh won't be forgetting all these bouncers. Maybe not the wisest move.

I got hand it to him.. he has been getting some blows here and there but he understand the significant of this partnership.. so he is staying for a while..

but Pakistan should try to get Hussey..

 

[Jayzamann]

I doubt there's many places in the world without a massive and passionate group of Pakistani expatriates.

 

[AaronK]

Bowled him..

what a ball that was.. I have to say i Jinxed him probably..

 

[Spark]

Think the scorecard reflects our batting order pretty well. Top 5 - fine. Rest - not so fine.

 

[Jayzamann]

Short leg for Dougeh. That seemed to work at least once against the Australians.

As I type that plan fell through...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well Dougeh has looked dreadful so far,mostly too short and too wide and a leg stump half volley when he did bowl one pitched up.Not good use of the new ball up to now.

Good captaincy by Ponting.Taking Bollinger off is right thing to do as he has bowled dross.Can Johnson bowl better than last year?

 

[Spark]

Not possible to bowl worse...

 

[Spark]

Too wide from Dougeh. Way too wide.

Hilf showing 'em how it's done.

 

[Jayzamann]

Nice one Hilf. Actually on or about offstump and bam.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Too wide from Dougeh. Way too wide.

Almost as bad as Johnson last year.Not quite but chalk and cheese when you compare it to how the Pakistan bowlers used the new ball yesterday.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hard to grasp just how dire this Pakistan batting lineup is. I mean Shahid Afridi has the second highest Test batting average at 37.

 

[Johnners]

Hilf (y)

 

[Spark]

Misspelling

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hilf is the only one in the attack that will bowl at the stumps.He should win the match for Australia against this batting line up.Unless Akmal Jnr gets a ton i can't see them scoring 200 in either innings.
