Australia vs Pakistan in Australia, 2009-10

[vvvslaxman]

Pakistan should be glad that it is a flat pitch. Otherwise they would not reach double figures.

I really want to see Atherton writing an article about "flat pitches in Australia".

HA!

Even if the pitches are flat in Aus there must be some bounce in it,absolutely nothing like subcontinental pitches.

[vvvslaxman]

Asif has to realize, match would be over in 6 sessions if the pitch has plenty of assistance. Does he want to see another Sharjha episode?

Even if the pitches are flat in Aus there must be some bounce in it' date='absolutely nothing like subcontinental pitches.[/quote'] That actually doesn't mean much. As long as the bounce is true, whether its low or high ... its a pretty good pitch to bat on. The only problem with the subcontinental wickets is that they are nearly all like that. However the climate there as opposed to in Australia is a major factor.

Assuming what Asif says is true. will Ponting, the aussie media and english media stop their whining about indian pitches being flat beds?

Asif ko Melbourne mein bhi Drug Dhaba mil gaya

or may be the climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are affecting the pitches all over the world and turining them into flat ones :dontknow:

Well done Punter I hate him, but this is a fantastic declaration. No one now a days does it with less then 500 on board. Surprised everyone Good one from punter.

[zubinpepsi]

shows how high he thinks of pakistan batting

[Clarke]

^^ true dat, was expecting 600+ runs

More than that zubin, I think we all could learn from this (especially Dhoni after that awful declaration vs. NZ earlier this year) - is that you have to make wins happen - and this is going to make both teams push for a result.

[sm332]

yeah pretty surprising declaration. I thought they would go all out for the next 20 overs and then declare.

[OriginalCopy]

I think they should have ground the pakistanis into dust and then declared.

[OriginalCopy]

Obviously he doesn't think this is a batting wicket unlike most. I hope he's right.

[cowboysfan]

good work by punter,kets see how the paki openers handle bollinger and MJ.

He just wants to have another go at this bowling so he can get his 100 /end conspiracy mode

Pak batting might not give him that oppurtunity.:nervous:
