Second wicket also goes down, Sami strikes.

[Toony™®]

Nauman u watching it on PTV - how slow is the scoreboard?

[Toony™®]

Who is out?

[Nauman]

3rd wicket goes down, Gul strikes this time, I cant tell you the name of the batsmen as my brother is watching the match on TV in the other room so he basically tells me the score.

[Nauman]

BTW Thornley and White are playing so top 3 are out I guess.

[Toony™®]

can u make this a sticky....good good..need to get Hussey out - main dangerman for me.

[Toony™®]

scorecard is stuck!

[Nauman]

29/4 in 7.4 overs Gul gets his second wicket.

[Toony™®]

Pakistan A replacement: Mansoor Amjad (unused)
Australia A replacement: MG Johnson (unused)

[Toony™®]

so far it looks like we are returning the favour!

[Nauman]

White and Hussey are playing, Gul got both his wickets caught behind (North and Thornley).

[Toony™®]

Gul keeping it tight. Is the wicket at fault or bowling good ??

[Nauman]

Both really wicket is seaming and Gul bowling a good line and length.

[Toony™®]

42/4 off 10 overs

[Nauman]

50/4 in 12 overs.

[Toony™®]

53/4 off 12 overs- scoring faster

[Nauman]

53/4 in 13.4 overs, Mohommad Asif into the attack.

[Toony™®]

maiden over by Asif.

[Toony™®]

arafat going for over 7 an over.

[Toony™®]

60 for 4; 15 overs

[Toony™®]

74-4 off 19 overs.

Gul 2-26 off 5 overs- a bit expensive. But got wickets.

[Toony™®]

gul going for over 5 an over at the mo.

[Toony™®]

80 /4 off 20 overs

[Nauman]

If Mohmmad Asif is supposed to be one of the elite seamers from Pakistan then I must say future looks bleak.

[Toony™®]

89/4 off 21 - partnership 63

[Toony™®]

0-14 off 5 overs - is good. Albeit 9 off the last over.

[Toony™®]

Gul bowls Hussey

89/5

[Nauman]

Figures are good because wicket has a bit in it for seam bowlers, apart from that he has looked very flat with no penetration power at all, he just comes and bangs it in short he is lucky that the ball is not comming onto the bat today thus its difficult for batsmen to hit him around, otherwise I expect those 14 runs to be 41 runs.

[Toony™®]

well he has got a wicket... 111/6 off 27

asif 1/26 off 8 overs

[Nauman]

115/7 in 29 overs

[Nawazb]

143-7 off 35.3 overs

[Nawazb]

gul gets his fourth wicket

146-8

[Nawazb]

158-8

[Nawazb]

umar gul finishes with figures of 4-51 off 10 overs,quite expensive but has taken crucial wickets.

Knock off 12 runs from Gul's figures because fielding of his bowling was pathetic today.

[Toony™®]

190/8 -could be a vital 9th wicket partnership this

4 overs remaining

White batting well.

[Toony™®]

Cullen Runout. tried to give White his century. White didnt want any of it!

195/9

White 99 not out!

[Toony™®]

Cameron White has made 100 in 129 balls with 10 fours and 3 sixes.

Good going!

[Toony™®]

196/9 off 48 overs.

[Nauman]

196/9 now, Cullen runout. Sami also completes his 10 overs.

[Nauman]

Must say its pretty average captaincy by Hassan Raza all his front line seamers have bowled out there quotas.

[Baron]

Looks like a good prefomance by Pak A today. Though its alittle strange to see Gul going for 51 runs and Sami going for 31. Am i still asleep? However, Gul took 4 major wickets which helped Pak to contain them.

Have to say, i am very impressed with the-cricketsite.com. Very prompt updates!

[Nauman]

Werent exactly prompt they were about 2 overs behind of what is actually happening.

[Nauman]

Aus A all out for 204 Malik grabs the last scalp.

[Nauman]

Well done Camaroon White for an unbeated century.

Yep, its rather silly of Hasan to bowl out his main seamers before the end of the innings. Bowling Malik and a part timer at the death overs is a major error in insight. Theoretically, we'll be seeing Mansoor Amjad come in as a super sub in the second innings. ONe thing stikes me however is why he didnt come into the first innings to replace Gul, after he was bowled out. Is Hasan on durgs or something? Some glaring mistakes there.

[Toony™®]

Aus A made 204 off in 49.5 overs.

Mansoor Amjad has come on for Pak (Supersub) for Mohd. Asif... i think

[AT1]

how did sami bowl?

[Nauman]

Barring a couple of overs where he was back to his usual self pretty ok but the wicket he got was entirely due to batsman's fault rather than his own brilliance.

[Toony™®]

target 205. Interesting if they'll be able to get it with our soft top order.

[Nauman]

Lets see how Zaidi goes, the wicket still has some juice in it for the new ball will be interesting to see how he copes with it.

alright thanks, how long is the second innings starting in?

[Nauman]

Half an hour.

It seems to be a long batting lineup though. From Imran Farhat to Mansoor Amjad are batsman. That makes 9 batsman for the Aus A to go through. It should be interest. But whats more interesting is how Hasan Raza copes with being an opener. If he can do well, he should find the golden ticket to enter Bob Wonkers, Cricket Chocolate Factory.

[tahaqureshi]

I thought Ashar Zaidi is an opener? But then why are Hasan Raza and Imran Farhat opening?

[Saj]

good start for Pak "A". 14 for 0 after 2.3 overs

[Amjid Javed]

The updates show farhat and zaidi are opening...

anyone watching live??

[Amjid Javed]

By the looks of it pakistan have whittled down their opening batting options to 4 players now - farhat, zaidi, butt and s malik...

intresting to see which way the selection goes..

[Amjid Javed]

zaidi goes lbw playing across the line. Pak 18/1

s malik comes in now.

[Saj]

well thats Zaidi gone - lbw for 12

[ImranR]

full in length and swings in, tries to play acrosss the line, misses it and hits the pad plumb in front of middle stump, shout for lbw and up goes the finger

Ashar Zaidi lbw b Lewis (12 runs, 14 balls, 2x4, 0x6)

18-1

[Amjid Javed]

pak 31/1 of 6.1 overs

[Nauman]

It was not full length it pitched on good length he went onto the backfoot and hit his back leg, didnt swing much either just skidded through.

[Nauman]

Pak A 32/1 Imran Farhat struggling on 5*

[KaSaNoVa_G]

PAK A 42/1 looking good....

[MIG]

I dont mind struggling - he shouldnt give his wicket away !

[Nauman]

55/1 in 11 overs now runrate of 5 per over.

[Amjid Javed]

Originally Posted by MenInGreen I dont mind struggling - he shouldnt give his wicket away !

spot on hopefully he can battle thru and get some meaningful runs

[Hash]

67 for 1 after 13 overs


Looking good.

[Amjid Javed]

Pak A doing well 74/1 of 14 ovrs - malik 33 farhat 23

[Hash]

I would like to see Farhat open with Butt in England series.

75/1

[Amjid Javed]

Farhat goes to cullen. sad end as per usual sadly for farhat... got in and got settled and hes not gone on!

Pak A 82/2

[Amjid Javed]

Bazid khan is the new batsmen in now

[Hash]

dissapointing from Farhat. He got the the start but could not go on.

Let's see what Bazid can do. Things still looking good for us at the moment, 82 for 2 from 16 overs.

[Amjid Javed]

Malik needs to bat thru most of inns here if pakistan "A" are to win the game and level series. also likes of bazid/hasan raza etc need to provide able support!

[Nauman]

Cullen bowling really well, spinning the ball quite alot.
