Too little too much...

Shane Watson took his first test Fiver

Like I said, I wasn't over-expecting from their current performance with the Duke ball, but now when they started to bat, Aussies showed why they're a tough side to beat. Even defending a par score of 250 odd runs, they managed to bowl Pakistan out inside the deficit with starting the second inning on high by getting an overall lead of 105, for that too we should thank Salman Butt for his inning because of which we were able to reduce the deficit closer to 100 run mark.

Else I don't watch live test matches much but whatever I saw 127 for 7 wickets, I switched off the TV (prior to the reason that an annoying PEPCO auntie will appear on the screen telling me to switch off extra lights and use A/C on 26 degrees.. dumb-ass)

Returning to Cricket, now when I am writing this thing, the second day play has been finished which clearly belonged to the Aussies as they were able to finish Pakistan's batting in a day and than again were batting with a lead of 105 and now when the day's game over, Aussies have a lead of 200 runs and still 3 days game is left and 6 wickets for Aussies remaining!

I just hope Pakistan able to save this test match as literally without excuses, we were without such batsmen who know how to stay on the wicket, Asim Kamal, Faisal Iqbal, Younus Khan, Mohammad Yousuf to name some! Plus no grooming for replacement of such players can be seen and we're heavily relying on the raw talent being produced on this land!

As far as the test match concern, Pakistan has the sniff chance but very difficult even than as Aussies have already managed to extend the lead touching 200, and with out batters batting in tendency for stroke playing instead of staying on the wicket and stroke on the badder balls, they tend to stroke every ball, and in such circumstances if Pakistan saves the match would be a greater achievement and should cease think of a positive result from this test!
