I seriously hate the referral system and it's reliance upon hawkeye for LBWs. It's honestly ridiculous. I question whether that really hit in line and whether or not it was going over the top of the stumps. To then apply hawkeye unquestionably and give the umpire no scope for interpretation is utterly absurd. Hate it.

Fantastic bowling by Bollinger. He's our number one. I heard on the radio that Johnson has only been playing test cricket for 2 years. It should have been Dougie to get that debut.

Hopefully Iqbal and Butt continue to play some shots. No point getting bogged down like they did in the first innings. Go down swinging i say!

What the f**k was that praying mantis merkin doing in such an important catching position?

f**k it - it's a Clayton's ton.

Nah, well done homo.....most fitting way to get it.

My thoughts exactly, Pakis probably had a stack on him making his ton:x

Bollinger got injured at the wrong time thats what cost him otherwise he would have debuted in India last year

could be a good finish tomorrow

the thing that worries me is relying on Siddle and Hauritz on the last day

its gonna have to be Notch and the Rug, with Sunshine chipping in for one or two

these two are dining out on Hauri atm

I'd be keen to see Katich or Clarke get a roll if we are struggling this afternoon. I think when the ball starts reversing the Pakis will struggle.

Johnson gets the break through, North is a poor first slip and Hauritz could bowl the pakis to a victory if he doesn't get some flight and turn!!

my cricinfo and my tv disagree on the score and not because of a delay, cricinfo is giving Pakistan an extra run:crazy:
