Can the Aussies Win?

Probably putting the mocka on them, anyone reckon the aussies are in with a chance in the test?  Starting to look like it, but how much ahead can they get....

The Pakistan team has lost the plot

Wed, 2010-01-06 09:43

Siddle will score a century and we will knock them over for under 100. Then again, I always believe the glass is half full.

Another epic innings by Mike Hussey aided by a true "digger's" stance by Siddle. Reception on 9 has been flakey here also. Let's hope we get to see it all from here on in. We are not out of the woods yet but the body language of the Pakkis suggests they are in uncomfortable territory.

Why don't they deserve it ?

Wed, 2010-01-06 10:25

A fight back by Hussey and a tail ender like Siddle holding the fort has to be worthy of a win.. yeah the first innings was disgraceful but thats cricket, thats why there is a second innings to make a game of it.. The bowlers still have to bowl well before Australia can win, and if they do their job, they definatley deserve the win.

Bad decision to bat first

Wed, 2010-01-06 11:20

It was a poor decision to bat:

* Intermittent showers (= rest for bowlers + attention lapse for batsmen)
* Overcast conditions (plenty of swing)
* Green-top pitch (rest my case)

But, really, for the first two, he should have known better. The only thing going for Ponting's decision is that the wicket will still be worse on the last day.

Agreed

Wed, 2010-01-06 11:40

my point was more with the aussies dealing with the situation they were in, rather than the decisions made to put them in that situation. none the less, another wicket down. fingers crossed.

Situation at Tea

Wed, 2010-01-06 12:19

Very interesting. Not a lot of work getting done around the house today. I have a feeling that, if we can get a couple more cheap wickets, it's going to be tough for the Pakkis. On the other hand though..... a few more fours and we are in deep shit!

As Bill would say.. "rivetting stuff this...".

Siddle might have not made 100, but they look like getting out for under 100.

I think the Paki wicketkeeper, probably playing his last test today,  might have his house burnt down if they lose.

I heard that live on radio yesterday and it stuck clear in my mind.... That was some prediction and a great win in the end. Ricky still stands by his decision to bat. Somehow, I think the Gods were smiling on him. I still think is was a brain-snap decision LOL.

now why would anyone be saying test cricket is dwindling!

m.e.k hussey is a living legend, and only a west aussie could have a knock like that in that situation. saved his career with that innings

These past 2 matches, haury has come into his own, dont think we will be seeing a s smith anytime soon!
