[cavin420]

cheers mate !

[Pathan007]

Irshaad once again very expensive.

[cavin420]

Irshaad once again very expensive.
he is............wonder how is he bowling, im sure must be bowling short.

[sharuk]

Khalil going for 6 rpo in a FIRST CLASS match, pathetic

[HAFRIDI]

Khalil going for 6 rpo in a FIRST CLASS match, pathetic

What are u on about?

[Pathan007]

What are u on about?needs some sleepo :D

[Pathan007]

oho i thought this was an ODI. but when i looked at Khalil figures 12overs i was like what the hell since when does a bowler is allow to have more than 10overs in ODI.

[HAFRIDI]

^exactly same here

[Pathan007]

this gonna end up in a draw

[PlanetPakistan]

AUS A is keeping a very good RR

[PlanetPakistan]

M Hafeez strikes twice

[PlanetPakistan]

A Rehman gets Birt out!
AUS 4 down now! good comeback by PAK

[Pathan007]

spinners doing the job for Pak

[PlanetPakistan]

Hodge holds the key!
Remember a few months ago he scored a double 100 against the S African national team!

[ali_ed2006]

Hodge is a really dangerous batsman...need him out as soon as possible

[UJ]

Good stuff so far from Hafeez and Rehman

[akpower]

hodge is gone, aus are 5 down for 166

[PlanetPakistan]

Hodge is GONE!!!!
A REHMAN has done it again!

[HAFRIDI]

should be able to mop up the tail now..well watson can hit it though..

should get em below 250 though

[UJ]

In comes Haddin...he can be very dangerous if he gets going...need to get him early

[PlanetPakistan]

oh man Misbah made a strange move to bring Wasim Khan back at this point because Watson is not as comfortable against the spinners and M Hafeez was bowling fairly well!

[Pathan007]

yup, should attack with spin from both sides.

[Pathan007]

man Irshaad is bowling crap

[Pathan007]

Over 56.3: Huge appeal for a caught behind from an attempted hook shot from Watson. Umpire doesn't move.

[PlanetPakistan]

man Irshaad is bowling crap

actually he has bowled a lot better in this spell. That's the good thing about 4 day games, you will always have a chance to bounce back! one day games IMO are a bit of a hit or miss

[mulan]

185/5.

Pakistani bowling not as on top of things as they ought to be. Hafeez and Rehman saving blushes.

The Aussies have been batting very poorly so far in this tournament. I really thought the Pakistani bowlers would be slightly more dominating...

[mulan]

Watson hitting a couple of 4's off Rehman and then is dropped at long off...

50 Partnership up between Haddin and Watson.

224/5.

[HAFRIDI]

should be able to mop up the tail now..well watson can hit it though..

should get em below 250 though

ah no...

[mulan]

ah no...
Sorry Haf, that's Watson's 50 up...and the score is 250/5...

[Amjid Javed]

AUS A - 5/261 (78.0 overs)

[mulan]

End of the days play.

Aus A on 307/5. Dissapointing bowling by the Pakistani bowlers to let the Aussies of the hook, but at the same time, some tenacious batting by Haddin (68*) and Watson (72*), in a partnership of 141*.

Rehman definitely the best of the bowlers, with figures of 32 - 8 - 72 - 2.

Things could have been better if not for that dropped catch. Ifs and buts...and the game of cricket.

[MIG]

Khalil should now be booking his place for the England squad :)

[HAFRIDI]

V dissapointing

[Pathan007]

Day2

Aussie on a roll

http://ls.cricket.com.au/HomeFullScorecard1_1032_1.html

[Pathan007]

fast bowlers are all bowling crap
Irshaad crap
wasim khan crap
mohammad khalil crap

[iZeeshan]

Didn't even know this was going on! Thanks a lot for the updates Planet Pak, and congrats to Khalil on his hint of success. Good bowling by Abdul Rehman also, Shane Watson looking to kill right now 110 off 171!

[PlanetPakistan]

You are welcome X bhai!

Man our fast bowlers have really struggled! Atleast this isn't our full strength bowling attack! I reckon Niazi, Arafat,Roa and Nazir are all better than these 3!

[Salman_S]

Why was samiullah niazi not selected for the Pakistan A squad?

I mean he's been called up to the test team, you would think that he would have been selected for Pakistan A.

[W63L35]

Should have played Mansoor Amjad!!! Aussies can't play a good leggie very well!

[Salman_S]

You guys have to admit that this is a very strong Aus A side.

Jaques
Cosgrove
Hodge
Watson
Haddin
Tait
Cullen

They have all played for the first eleven. Not surprsing really that they are hammering this 3rd string pakistan attack.

Agree with PlanetPakistan Niazi and Arafat should have been in this squad.

[Fish]

They have all played for the first eleven. Not surprsing really that they are hammering this 3rd string pakistan attack.

Why didnt they send their A side?.

[cavin420]

Why didnt they send their A side?.
most of them are on stand by for the tour to england, since a lot of the main stream player's have broken down , shoaib akhtar, rana naveed, mohd Asif etc .

by the way it's only 2 whom are missing from the A team, mainly yasir Arafat and s.Niazi.

so dont know what is the big deal here guys ?

[PlanetPakistan]

Yaar both Niazi and Arafat are in ENG!
Yasir is playing for Sussex

[Salman_S]

My point is that if Niazi and Arafat are the next in line for the pakistan bowling line up, why were they not selected for the A team. It would have been an excellent oppurtunity to see how they fair, especially considering how many test players there are in the Australian and Indian A teams.

For my understanding Niazi was in pakistan, so i do not understand why he was not selected for the A team, but then deemed good enough for a call up to the test team.

True in that Arafat is playing for Susex, but if he chose to rather play county then play for the A team, then he is just hindering his own chances in my opinion.

[PlanetPakistan]

I don't understand that either! I will ask Robert and will let you know!

Australia have done the same thing, our nine best bowlers are:

McGrath
Warne
Lee
Gillespie
Magill
Bracken
Stuart Clark
Hogg
Kaspa

So really this is also Australias third string attack.

It's not a question about "best" bowlers! There is no point in playing a 35 year old M Kasparowic or a 36 year old S Macgill in the A team or even established players like Bracken and Gillespie don't need to be in the A team but such tours are very helpful for youngsters like Niazi or Arafat so that's why we are a bit surprised that these 2 youngsters are not in the A team.

[Nauman]

Irshad just continues to proove that he is nothing more than a mediocre bowler, it means one of the two things either Irshad has taken a nose dive ever since Farhad took that interview and Aquib saw Irshad or the future of fast bowling looks very bleak in Pakistan if Irshad is the fastest we had (the guy barely bowls at over 85 clicks) I have no idea what the management has against the likes of Najaf Shah who have proved that they are consistent wicket takers you either take the top performers from first class cricket (none of the three are) or blood in youngsters like Jamshed Ahmed, Akhtar Ayub (not a single game given to him) etc.

[muhammad saad]

Seriously pakistan bowling is going down

They have to inject new talent in the A side especially in the bowling department ,how about our world cup winners U19 players
Specially
JAMSHED AHMED
ANWAR ALI
AKHTAR AYUB

[muhammad saad]

what a conincidence post Nauman bhai
LOL

I wasn't saying that you select your first string attack for an A team, so you can count the big 4 of McGrath, Warne, Lee, Gillespie out. Other then that, you could say that they did select a 3rd strink attack. But on the other hand their batting line up is very strong.

But what Australia selects is irrelevant. My point was why did they call up a player who wasn't even selected for the A team, if he was really that good he should have been selected in the first place. It's not uncommon to call up players currently playing in A sides when the test team gets hit with injuries.

But anyway, i've had my little rant....hopefully Asif is fit and we won't even have to use Niazi or Nazir.

[UJ]

Irshad just continues to proove that he is nothing more than a mediocre bowler, it means one of the two things either Irshad has taken a nose dive ever since Farhad took that interview and Aquib saw Irshad or the future of fast bowling looks very bleak in Pakistan if Irshad is the fastest we had (the guy barely bowls at over 85 clicks) I have no idea what the management has against the likes of Najaf Shah who have proved that they are consistent wicket takers you either take the top performers from first class cricket (none of the three are) or blood in youngsters like Jamshed Ahmed, Akhtar Ayub (not a single game given to him) etc.

Am wondering the same....

[muhammad saad]

Niazi is also a rubbish one at current (nothing can say about future) because he can only take wicket when a batsman is trying to hit out or just give away wickets like first class players did ocassionally ,
The basic ingrediants of fast bowlers is
SPEED
SWING
SEAM
ACCURACY
STAMINA

and Niazi has only ACCURACY has in them (not Mcgrath like) and as far as Irshad is concerned he is got speed and stamina nothing more at that moment

[Asim2Good]

Our future prospects been alllowed to play in county games instead of sending them with A team. Najaf Shah and Yasir Arafat should b in team and they should give chance to Ayub as well.

On other hand, good start by A team so far 52/0 at tea :)
Mohmand playing very nice yet again. Any one remember, this guy was selected for ODI against England but they didn't gave him any chance. IIRC, he is good feilder as well

Well Niazi was called up at the request of Inzi, who felt that a left armer would bring more variety to the bowling attack. So, he is either a decent prospect or it's Inzi playing favorites again as with Mushtaq Ahmed.

This also leaves me dumb founded that if Khalil, who is also a left armer, has fallen out of favor with the captain why was he selected and Niazi not.

[Nauman]

165/1 in 45 overs
Mohommad Hafeez 86*
Shahid Yousaf 30*

[Asim2Good]

good reply so far by Pak A, hope they can keep it tomorrow as well.

[Easa]

Good start for Pakistan with the bat,

[pak4life]

pak A has a good batting line up and the back up seems to be good for the senior team. it is so unlike pakistan to be struggling in the bowling department.

Question Date: 7/2/2006 2:43:09 PM
Question:

Hi Bob, You posted some answers to quesiotns about Najaf Shah? you mentioned his feilding needs plently of attention. I believe last time you saw (Najaf Shah) him in Namibia last year with Pakistan A, correct me if I'm wrong? His feliding has improved tremendously as well as bowling, still can't believe that you keep saying his feliding need attention. Trescothic was impressed with Najaf last year now they are considering Najaf for somerset next year. It will be shame if you keep ignoring him. He is great prospect for Pakistan. I don't know why people are being ignored who performs in domestic. Cheers

Answer Date: 7/6/2006 4:31:18 PM
Answer:

Thankyou for your comments and we have not forgotten Najav and hopefully his time will come.

bob

he cant even spell his name!

[MIG]

Bob is allowed typos ... I think its in his contract somewhere...

[HAFRIDI]

Hafeez did well. Come on Shahid Y!

[in_cutter]

Hahafeez! Anyone seen S Yousuf bat?? I hear he is similiar to M Yousuf?

[Romali_rotti]

This is a very good innings Hafeez is playing. Aus A side, is no weak side; Tait, Haddin, Dorey all quality even though Tait is a bit inexperienced....

[Easa]

I've seen Shahid Yousaf bat.

Definetly a prospect for the future, reasonable big bat lift, and times the ball very sweetly.

[in_cutter]

Cool..batsmen with high bat lift are usually stylish (Lara, Anwar, Yousuf)

[Easa]

Cool..batsmen with high bat lift are usually stylish (Lara, Anwar, Yousuf)

Very stylish and a compact player.

[Muyazzim Khan]

Very stylish and a compact player.

How good is his feet movement because having seen our U-19 players of the recent past it seems our young batsmen dont move their feet an inch hence they are all suspect to being LBW and ofcourse fishing.

The wicket seems flat but one would expect our bowlers to at least bowl a tad economically than Wasim Khan and Irshad have. Both went at over 5.5 an over. Even Khalil managed to bowl tighter than them. Inshallah the rest of the batsmen can build on this solid start.

[infamous9383]

hafeez aproaching his hundred i hope i don't jinx him

[infamous9383]

he' on 99

[Pathan007]

[Pathan007]

Over 53.4: Single taken after a slight mix-up between the batsmen. Fielder at backward point misfielded allowing the single. That single takes Hafeez to 100 runs, coming in 218 minutes off 168 balls 13x4 1x6.

Well played Hafeez...!!

[infamous9383]

Hafeez moves on 107 off 174balls. he brought up his 50 off 102 balls and 100 off 168. very impressive

Hafeez not out 122
Yousuf not out 63

[infamous9383]

[HAFRIDI]

Abdul, btw= by the way

[infamous9383]

Abdul, btw= by the way


oh!!!! :))) :))) :)))

i thought it was the dud's name

[HAFRIDI]

Its ok yaar, just slipped my mind that we have some freshies on here

[cavin420]

wow...zabardast hafeez
and wicked shahid :11:

[infamous9383]

Mohammad "master" Hafeez
Shahid "super" Yousuf

[Pathan007]

249/1

[HAFRIDI]

Go hafeez !! i expect him to make the ODI Squad for eng

[infamous9383]

curse by nickname ability yousuf is out

[Pathan007]

Over 62.4: Yousuf OUT! Cullen strikes. Yousuf attempts to sweep a ball turning in, gets struck in line, huge appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Pakistan A 2/249.

[infamous9383]

Misbah is in now i think it's a little too late for him to challenge for a spot on the team

[HAFRIDI]

Abdul, all ur fault :@ :@

Misbah, i expect sumat from him

[infamous9383]

Abdul, all ur fault :@ :@

Misbah, i expect sumat from him

can't argue with that :))

[PlanetPakistan]

254/2....not bad!

[infamous9383]

they went quickly from 200 to 250

[infamous9383]

will hafeez score a double hundred?

[infamous9383]

Go hafeez !! i expect him to make the ODI Squad for eng

doubt it will happen unless ofcourse injury to shoaib Malik or shaid afridi

[HAFRIDI]

Nope, i said Squad not team and he should be there, has a v big chance imo

[infamous9383]

only one four in the last 10 overs

[infamous9383]

End of Misbah and session one score 279/3

[HAFRIDI]

287/3

Go Haf 147..and another fav of mine in Bazid! his shots v windies were just incredible

[infamous9383]

hafeez gets his 150 congrats

[infamous9383]

he has three sixes amazing

[infamous9383]

Bazid is another one challenging for spot on the team, big hitter

[Pathan007]

Hafeez moves on 158

[PlanetPakistan]

M Hafeez seems to be perfect ODI player but the problem is that his competition is with S Malik!

[PlanetPakistan]

He must be really tired.....bowled 31 overs and now he has been batting since the start of the innings!

[Salman_S]

This pitch must be a road...Aus declared 6/510 and Pak 3/341 right now.

Poor bowling attacks for Aus and Pak aren't helping but still everyone seems to be scoring with ease.

[Nauman]

Moves onto 180 now.

[Pathan007]

Moves onto 180 now.nazr laga di :16:

Over 94.3: Hafeez OUT! Attempts a pull shot, gets a top edge and Haddin takes the simplest of catches. That ends a superb innings of 180. Pakistan A 4/346.

[Pathan007]

http://ls.cricket.com.au/HomeFullScorecard1_1032_1.html

[Salman_S]

And on 180 he has been dissmissed. A very good innings....

Congrats.

[PlanetPakistan]

Fine performance from M Hafeez!

[UJ]

Great innings by Hafeez!!

[safehands46]

hasans out but bazid is playing well. let see if he takes ahead of them.

[UJ]

Mohommad Salman into bat now...

Johnson has 3 wickets!!

[safehands46]

tait has bowled tight 8 maidens in 22 overs. not bad for him.

[Salman_S]

Pakistan collapsing here.....

[HAFRIDI]

M Salman off the mark with 4

[safehands46]

bazid on 41.

[Nauman]

Whats the score now?

[safehands46]

Whats the score now?

405/5 bazid is on 53 with 8 fours. playing fast but cheeky.

[Amjid Javed]

PAK A 6/405 - bazid gone

well done to him on get 50 and also to hafeez for his 180!

[HAFRIDI]

Oh yes Salman SIX! btw Bazid out for 53 out to spinner

413/6

[mulan]

Well, this is a draw for sure.

Must be some batting wicket. A six from Salman takes the score to 413 and Pakistan now less than 100 runs behind the Aus first innings.

[safehands46]

Oh yes Salman SIX! btw Bazid out for 53 out to spinner

413/6

anyone working on highlights. It seems like one worth getting.

[MIG]

I cant believe we still dont consider Hafeez as a test player ?

[blahblah]

same here look at bowlers for aust real test is India

[UJ]

Its a shame to see Bazid get out- was really looking forward to seeing him play a big innings. He is one for the future, no doubt.

As for the game, the draw seems the only likely outcome.

[HAFRIDI]

UJ is this being televised over there?

[UJ]

No, not that I know of...

[lahori@denmark]

5 lbws against pak...and non againt aus...yeh log a teams ko bhi nahi bakhshte

[Nauman]

What was the score at stumps?

[Asim2Good]

What was the score at stumps?

Pak 431 all out
Aus 57/2 2nd Inn

[safehands46]

5 lbws against pak...and non againt aus...yeh log a teams ko bhi nahi bakhshte

genius they are playing four fast bowlers. We have medium pacers naturally its going to hit the pad less.

tait 27 overs with what 8 maidens. that means they were defending and the rest did pretty well.

[Nauman]

Pak 431 all out
Aus 57/2 2nd Inn
Who took the two wickets? cant open the Cricket australia site for some reason.

[Romali_rotti]

Who took the two wickets? cant open the Cricket australia site for some reason.

Abdur Rehman did Nauman.. Wait a go Hafeez, excellent innings he played, I reckon you guys may have found a potential star opener... Ind A kikin butt also which is good to see, RP Singh and Chawla doing the damage and have set us up for victory :11: ...

[Muyazzim Khan]

Well done Hafeez and the boys. They are showing good spirit inspite of the poor attck we have selected. At least the batsmen are doing well. This Aussie team is full of experienced and hardened professionals with decent international experience, so to compete with them in their back yard is a good showing.

[infamous9383]

heading towards a dull draw one would think at this point

[infamous9383]

Rehman seems to be making a name for himself right now third wicket

[infamous9383]

Khalil gets a wicket things geting interesting

[infamous9383]

86 for 5 Khalil snaps two quick ones

[PlanetPakistan]

wah jee wah! PAK have made this match interesting!

[infamous9383]

wah jee wah! PAK have made this match interesting!

they certainly have

[Asim2Good]

Australia A have declared their innings at 6/165, a lead of 244 runs. That leaves Pakistan A with the gettable target of 245 runs to win off a minimum 40 overs. We're bound to see some entertainment, so stay with us for the Pakistan A run chase.

WOW, gr8 decleration by Aus.
Pak RRR is 6.1
and at moment they 59/1 in 7 overs.
Yousaf gone after 17.

[Asim2Good]

185 required by Pak posible 33 overs at RR 5.6
this wil be exciting chase if Pak don't loose too many wickets

[Salman_S]

really...what a sporting declaratioin by Aus A...but good job by pakistan in getting 6 aussie wickets for not many too..

Good fight back by Pak A...looks like the fighting abilites of Pakistan run deep

post 161 in this thread ;-)

meantime Pak lost 2nd wicket, Misbah gone. Pak 66/2 in 9.1 overs

[Asim2Good]

Over 9.4: FOUR! Played off the hip by Bazid Khan to the fine leg boundary.

Over 9.2: FOUR! Mohmand edges through the gap at first slip.


76/2 in 10 overs

[Asim2Good]

seems all over for Pak
94/4 in 14.3 overs

[muhammad saad]

why Muhammad Hafeez is batting at no. 6 ,is he injured or what?

[muhammad saad]

dont lose hope

[HAFRIDI]

Hafeez is here^, they preserved him, hes with raza

Cmmon PAK!

[muhammad saad]

yeah play carefully for another 6 or 7 overs

[mulan]

Hafeez is here^, they preserved him, hes with raza

Cmmon PAK!
I think Hafeez will play it sensibly....No good losing another wicket here, then Pakistan A will definitely be looking down the barrel...

Pakistan still require 150, and there are 25 overs left to be bowled.....

[Salman_S]

they should try to play sensibly now...with about 10-15 overs to go see how many wickets they have in hand and then launch.

[muhammad saad]

well as far as Abdul Rehman bowling he bowl marvellous in this match and should be called for pakistan in westindies

[muhammad saad]

oh no yaar Pakistan is looking for a draw

[HAFRIDI]

i dont think they are lookin for a draw^^

if these 2 stay till last 10 overs, its our game

[Asim2Good]

142 runs nedded in 20 overs
this game can be intersting

[Salman_S]

i don't think they will go for it, especially considering how easily the tail sucumbed in that last innings.

[mulan]

[HAFRIDI]

[Asim2Good]

Isn't that lunch?

:91: :91:
it's last session been played, 20 overs left on last day

[mulan]

:91: :91:
it's last session been played, 20 overs left on last day :22: True!

[Asim2Good]

we need 99 runs in 10 overs
145/4 in 30 overs.

Hafeez injured or wat? he has played too slow
just 6 runs off 48 balls. game would been different if he had scored atleast 30 runs off same deliveries

[Asim2Good]

Match declered draw :12:
both captains called off match as it was heading for draw :9:

[mulan]

Well, if they were playing for money or something similar, I'm sure the captains would have played for a result.

Especially Pakistan, they weren't placed too badly. Unless of course that wicket was living up to its old self...Not batsman friendly at all....

According to statsguru the average test innings is 180.

[Fish]

Aussie allrounder Shane Watson has shown some promise.

[Asim2Good]

seems Hafeez was injured or not feeling well?
that's could b reson from Pak side and he was playing slow as well. if he had atleast 30 runs off 48 deliveries, so it would b interested last 10 overs
