Pakistan vs Australia-1st Test

[mal]

i wonder how mal is handling this performance from watto?

I went to bed after the first bad light walk off

TOSS
At stumps day 1 AU 9/220 0dd
I posted it was wrongggg 4 PA to send the opposition in
Im sure the 2 leg spinners will agree [and one of then won the toss derrrrrr]

UMPIRES
Made at least one shocker giving out Ponting LBW this time when missing leg stump
Any other shockers ?

WATTO
We needed a 4th bowler after the 3 quicks to perform
Cometh the moment cometh the man
5 wickets
He did it for Rod .....

KATICH
One again got a healthy start but failed to convert a big un
Doing a very good job for his country but just needs an extra ton or to to impress Dutchy

AFRIDI
Lucky he didnt bat for 10 more minutes !

Disgaree MAL.
Although hawkeye was suggesting it was missing leg stump, you simply have to give those out.
Umpire definitely made the right decision.

[NFC]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Smith didn't bowl in the 1st innings?

I reckon if the second test is similiar in weather/pitch, we should be tempted to play an extra batsman in Khawja for Smith.

Ideally we drop North, but anyway...

[schimma]

would not be suprised to see a player walk onto the ground with a baggy blue during this series

Another half ton for KATDUTCHYICH

It has been reported that Katdutchyich was very fortunate in the first innings
Should have been out LBW for about 2 runs
Did anyone see it to make comment
Anyone except Smithy that is ....

4/112
AU have enough runs already
MJ will be dangerous in this situation

[Dogwatcher]

Gee he's got an awful average has the Kat

[tnt]

Mitch doing nicely.28 off 31

Allan Border, Flem and BJ reckon Ponting was out too.
I'd give you their phone numbers so you can argue with them but you probably already have them.

5-151 Kat 66* North 0*

Hawk Eye ?

MJ OUT 30
Both he and Ponting yet to make a 100 at Lords

bugger off rain I have $$$$ to collect

[Media Park]

Has The Kat made a ton there?

[rod_rooster]

Aus 5/188 at lunch.

Katich continuing to disssapoint and let his country down on 83 not out

[heater31]

Well 5 balls after the break and this happens


54.5


Umar Gul to Katich, OUT, 133.8 kph, gone! Gul strikes and Katich misses a ton for the second time in the game. He just felt for this outside off, it was back of a length and seamed away a touch. Very similar to his first-innings dismissal


SM Katich c †Kamran Akmal b Umar Gul 83 (174b 14x4 0x6) SR: 47.70

[Media Park]

north out for 20

[stampy]

7/188

[smithy]

north out for 20

[brod]

Steve Smith out for 12

Australia 8/224
Paine 18*
Hilfenhaus 4*

Umar Gul 4/37

[brod]

9th wicket partnership of 63*
Paine 42*
Hilfenhaus 22*
(Both Career bests)

Australia 8/273

[NFC]

Paine falls short of a well deserved half century on debut.
