1ST TEST: Australia v Pakistan MCG Dec 26-30 2009

[Bazal]

Pakis are bowling very tight atm, nervous nineties or not they're not giving Watto and Nuffy anything

 

[TheParraboy]

He is the closest thing around in world cricket to Pidge,especially seeing that Clark is out of favour. He has a terrific record i thought he was outstanding yesterday afternoon.

:lol:

Fine record with the roids, not so good without ;-)

 

[hineyrulz]

my vote is LBW ...:sarcasm:

With that field there will be nothing near the stumps.

 

[Panther_Daz]

I agree, Asif is nothing more than a line and length bowler. Aamer is the star he has 5/70

He isn't getting anything out of this lifeless pitch. Get him on a pitch with something in it and he is up there with Steyn as the best fast bowler in the world.

Watch some of the clips of him on Youtube.

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

He will edge one to the slips.

Mate roids or not he is a very good bowler, he will be handful with a wicket with any sideways movement.

bowling wide of off stump is bowling tight?

fooled me

Yeah, it's good captaincy and good bowling...they know that he wants runs, and they know he desperately wants that first hundred so they're saying "you want runs, you come and get them"

It's called bowling in the channel for a reason mate

 

[Dutchy]

I vote obstruction of the field.

 

[TheParraboy]

funny , if it was australia it would be seen as pathetic captaincy by Ponting and he would get crucified. But Pakistan doing it, its really good bowling, lol

[Meth]

I think he's ranked 4th in the world at the moment, equal with Ntini

Difference is, it's Pontings standing tactic and he uses it to stop runs but not take wickets. The Pakis are using it as a one off to force a nervous batsman with issues getting to a hundred to play a shot he doesn't want to play in an effort to dismiss him...

Yep it's quite smart play IMO. Also slowing up the declaration.

 

[Dutchy]

OMG - I cant hear my music over the sound of my Godfrey.

 

[DragonPunk]

Imagine how loud it'll be if he makes the 100.

 

[Non Terminator]

If it happens, it'll be an hour off.

 

[hineyrulz]

Close!!
