[hineyrulz]

Would have been a great catch.

 

[Twizzle]

yeah, he is the man we need to see the back of

 

[chigurh]

Got off to a great start but it could be a tough day for the bowlers.

 

[hineyrulz]

Ball did a little bit early but it is now no an absolute road.

 

[Mr Angry]

I think I saw one person in the crowd.

VFL = 6000

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Slakistan on track to reach 190 by stumps.

 

[Wizardman]

Slave will kill Misbah-Ul Haq early.

 

[TheParraboy]

Prob Pakis best bats at the wicket

needs to get these guys out before stumps or at least one of them otherwise we could be in deep in poo on day two

tea 3/125

 

[hineyrulz]

Mitch Mash getting some nice reverse.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Mitch Mash getting some nice reverse.

Monster mash.

Can't criticize SOK on debut but Lyon is into his 18th over and he has given us absolutely nothing. On this pitch in this weather you can't expect the quicks to penetrate too much but a veteran spinner like Lyon should be doing a job here. People always point to his stats but he is the biggest downhill skier. Cashes in when the going is good but when we need him most he consistently comes up short.

 

[madunit]

Sok & lyon doing f**k all. Pakis playing them comfortably.

It's a dead pitch, sometimes in test cricket you can't take 78 wickets in a days play, what is required is patience. Praise to Younis for showing his class and playing a fine patient innings.

 

[TheParraboy]

Slakistan on track to reach 190 by stumps.

They will smash that and get around 205

Currently 3/189 - 11 overs remain in the day

 

[TheParraboy]

Great ton by Younis - I feared this would happen, quality batsman this bloke

 

[Y2Eel]

And Out

 

[TheParraboy]

Notch removes Younis, crucial wicket

4/198

Notch getting close to having a test bowling average under 27

 

[Wizardman]

Credit where it is due....Pakistan have given us greater resistance than South Africa, India and England did.

 

[TheParraboy]

stumps day 1

Pak 4/219

couple of close lbw appeals in the last over from Lyon

Honours about even id say, considering the state of the deck. Hopefully we can get them out before or just after lunch tomorrow at the latest, and no more than 300

 

[Tommy Smith]

Why is Mitch Marsh playing?

Doesn't he have a 1st class record that would make Andrew McDonald look like Keith Miller?
