I think this test maybe gives you an idea why I thought Pakistans bowling lineup is better than Australias. I wasnt trying to imply there is anything wrong with Australia's just that Pakistan's attack is really really good.

Have a nice day.

I agree. Aussies on the verge of defeat..............once again at home. Aussies being undefeatable at home is now slowly fading away.
 
Yeah Australia are going to lose unless something extraordinary happens. And Hipmonlee I disagree, there is something wrong with Australia's bowling attack, Peter Siddle. 6 wickets this Summer from 115 overs at an average of 63 is extremely unacceptable and I do not understand why the selector keep on keeping a blind eye on Siddle. I am mystified how he even made the Australian team.
 
Well I wasnt trying to imply that there was anything right with Australia's bowling attack either..

Have a nice day.
 
The bowling attack can do little when the bowler has to get a batsmen out like 4 times.Again 3 dropped catches of arguably one of the top 5 batsmen in test cricket.. totally unacceptable.
The batting line up is not bad either, like i said before on paper it's extremely good.The chokes on catches is whats been costing us test matches indefinitely.
Yeah obviously a great sight for Pak fans.. finally something to cheer about!
I think Siddle is a good bowler, but lately he has obviously been out of form.He's been bowling alright... but not many genuine wicket taking balls though.
 
Anyone want to compare South Africa and Australia's captains i.e. Graeme Smith and Ricky Pointing. Both they and their team had bad first innings but look at Smith 162 from 243 while Pointing scored 11 from 36. Disappointing to see Australia collapse like that especially when they are usually a team that excels under pressure. Pity about Amla's 95, played really well and was looking to counter - attack. Dew seems to be playing a huge factor in the Tri Series.....Sri Lanka have been able to take advantage both times.
 
Yeah Siddle confuses me too. I bet the selectors will get rid of Bollinger instead of Siddle (if at all) when Hilfenhaus comes back from injury. Just think of Hilfy and Dougie opening the attack, that's a pretty decent pair to open the bowling. Also I'm excited about Hussey's return to form.

Oh yeah, someone said something good about a more aggressive Ponting, right? lol

Poor Amla, hes been troubled all series and now he doesn't quite make the ton. Good knock though. And Smith, well he's Smith. There you go. Swann is an amazing bowler btw.

I enjoy Samaraweera getting a hundred. And I think this is the first time I've seen Yuvraj get a score since... a long time ago.
 
Yay Hussey got a hundred. Aussie's lead is entirely dependent on Hussey's performance unless Siddle and Doug can get something happening.
 
176 to win.

To be honest, if I was a pakistan supporter I would be really fucking nervous right now..

Good luck!

Have a nice day.
 
lol 86/5. However, the Akmal brothers could probably do this in around 10 overs if they really wanted to. I don't think they will though, Aussie are bowling with strongth.

EDIT: 107/6, it's going to be close.
 
GO AUSTRALIA, I can't believe we won this! Pakistan all out for 139. No suprises that Siddle didn't get a wicket but he did bat well.

Hahaha I have no fucking clue how this happened. <3 Hussy and Horry (and Siddle's performance with the bat too although his bowling fucking sucked).
 
Yeah I woke up at 2pm thinking I'll just check the score and I went crazy when I saw the score at 5/90. Still, I am annoyed with ponting although we have won, I disagree with most of his decisions at the moment.

Well true, but that's Siddle. Any idea when Hilfy is back, Siddle needs to gtfo.

My sentiments exactly :).
 
Everything Tanz wants, doesnt happen. Has anyone else noticed?

That match was a heartbreaker really..

Have a nice day.
 
LMAO Pak lost! Well I think they are just about the only team that can actually mess up like that. Truly unpredictable side they are.

Also Im not liking this "win the toss win the game" scenario in the Bangladesh Tournament =/
