1st Test: Australia V Pakistan

[mal]

Whether MJ bowls carp or rip snortner spells he has one gifted ability
He can produce that unplayable ball
As a batter you can never get in the groove facing the champ
Of all the bowlers in the world he is the one I would not like to face
Id like to face Watto and Haurie though

[Adelaide Hawk]

We are bowling the Pakis back into this game. Not sure what the theory is behind Doug bowling around the wicket. Except for the LBW shout, the batsmen have looked very much at ease against him. Go back over the wicket Douggie and get that natural left arm angle across the batsman.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Kamran a rush of blood .. what was he thinking? Aussies on top now

[locky801]

Huge wicket to Hauritz, Akmal stumped for 30, not the brightest shot selection one must point out

Pakistan now 6/214

[locky801]

Haurtiz now on a hat trick

7/214

Silly shot by akmal, had he hung around for another 40-50 runs it would have put pressure on the aussie bowlers....just as im writing aamer gone 1st ball, aussies in box seat now.

[RoosterMarty]

Hauritz on a hatty now!

Great commentating "he has a technique to last" then he is out first ball.

Can Haurie get an amazing hatty?

[locky801]

Hows the field

[RoosterMarty]

Hows the field

That was comedy.

Very well played though, smart shot.

Can Haurie get an amazing hatty?

It was funny, but a pretty good ball first up. Aamer had it covered and it jumped at him.

[RoosterMarty]

It was a ripper delivery no doubt, great stuff by Hauritz. First MJ now Hauritz have given a new batsman hard to play first deliveries which is excellent to see.

Haddin drops a tough catch, again an edge doesn't carry properly. North almost copped the rebound in his chops too.

Next ball and Dougy gets a wicket, pretty unlucky for the batsman as it was heading down leg but smashed into his pads on to the stumps!

[locky801]

Dougie now knocks the castle over Rauf on his way

8/221

[valleys07]

The rug strikes! paki's 8 down now

[locky801]

Know it has been bought up before about Hauritz bowling no balls, but it appears as though they are not actually no balls, he goes over the line initially but is back in the correct position at point of delievery, has been two like this this morning

[Adelaide Hawk]

Mitch is back .. yes!!

I wish the Nine team would cease their comments that the umpire is being tough on Hauritz with no balls. The umpire looks to see where the foot lands, he hasn't got time to wait for the foot to swivel around. The moment the foot lands, he then lifts the eyes to see where the ball goes. You want to eliminate the no ball? Bowl 6 inches back from the line .. problem solved.

How is the ump supposed to give an LB if he is watching his foot swivel around all over the place?

AU 5/454 DEC
PA 258
AU 8/225 DEC
PA 2/109[32]

Stumps day 2 PA were 4 for about 100 odd
Since then only Wattos epic innings has stood between them and a dominating effort on days 3 + 4

321 needed
I predict it all over between lunch + tea TOMorrow for 269

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn ...
8/249 Lunch


Important last 2 wickets after lunch
Who would I bowl
Im thinking of the future
I would bowl these 2 guys
HAURITZ desperately needs a 5 wicket haul for a confidence booster
SIDDLE having a lean summer by his standards a couple of wickets would perhaps help his confidence as well

[westcoastpanther]

Haddin leaking byes, imagine if he had to keep to a big turner of the ball......

[locky801]

Another wicket to Hauritz, gets the skipper out for 61

9/250

[locky801]

Hauritz gets his 5th wicket, catch by Watson, shes all over at the G

All out 250
