HomePakistan Too much for Aussies! byMurtaza Moiz -July 22, 2010 2 Big trouble for Aussies, but Sydney happened just 6 months ago... If statistically speaking, this has been Aussies second worst performance against Pakistan in tests. Some of the more lows regarding this match is as follows!This has been Australia's second lowest score against PakistanisIn 1956 when Australia were bowled out for 80 runs @ Karachi which Pakistan able to win by 9 wickets!During that 1956 Karachi test, Ian Johnson had won the toss and put themselves into bat.With respect to number of overs played, this has been the 4th worst first inning totalProminent scorer in yesterday's first test against Pakistan, Tim Paine 17 is the fourth-lowest top-score for Australia in a Test innings in which all 11 batsmen have batted. This, then, makes it Australia's lowest top score in the last 110 years. The three previous ones were all against England: 10 in Sydney in 1888, 15 at The Oval in 1886, and 16 again at The Oval in 1896. As far as Pakistan's concern, this is their fourth lowest total on which they bowled the opposition out, on the other hand this has been the third while they loss the toss!Pakistan's opening stand has put Pakistan on top and may be a contender for first test win since the Sydney test of 1995 which although was a dead rubber when the series was already decided but that this time there's a CHANCE of cracking that syndrome!On the other hand Aussies are on the verge of their first live test match defeat since Calcutta test in 1998The last time Pakistan beat Australia by an innings was when they won by an innings and 188 runs on designer pitch in Karachi where Mudassar Nazar and Aamer Malik opened the bowling in both innings.

Yep, man, you r right. But with pakistan's batting voes, its always threatening. Can Pakistan win this match?? still a biiiig question mark:(
ReplyDeleteSalman Butt had heavy rollers applied in Pakistan's first innings, so there won't be much of the support of Pakistani bowlers like they have in Aussies first innings, and like you I also fear of another Sydney at the back of my mind!
