Sree, if AUS WIN. ICF will give you $50 Million. If they lose, then u will never open such threads DEAL!
DEAL. B->
Sree has unshakable confidence in Pakistan's inability more than Australia's ability :hysterical:
If Australia can win the next session (i.e. deficit gone for no loss of wickets), its game, set, match Australia.

Pakistan are surely going to win this. After skittling the aussies out , no team in the world can lose from here. Congrats pakistan on a great win. :two_thumbs_up:
^ You are right - it's only the second morning' date=' [b']by the third morning it will be mourning in the land down under with the only discussion about the degree of defeat and true to my word I will reopen the ahahahaha thread with the leader donkey trying to make up his mind about what to do after winning a toss! :laugh:
LOL at people harboring hopes of a FTB comeback - Australia are going to lose this by an innings.
:hail: Not dead yet, still alive and kicking. The Australian middle and lower orders are no push overs. If Aus can get a lead of 100 odd runs tonight and muster an additional 150 odd runs tomorrow, than its Pakistan's game to lose. Hussey and Clarke partnership already 57 runs, in next to no time. How confident are you in Pakistan chasing 200 odd ? Gone quiet all of a sudden :hysterical:

Butt issues Australia warning Butt issues Australia warning Salman Butt has warned Aussie batsmen to prepare for another searching examination when they embark on their second innings. Butt top-scored with 71 as the visitors progressed to 331 for nine and a lead of 204 during another eventful day of Test cricket. And while Butt, Mohammad Yousuf (46) and Umar Akmal (49) all made batting look easy on the unusually grassy Sydney wicket, the stylish left-hander insists conditions still heavily favour of the bowlers. "They've been tough throughout these two days and I think the pitch might change slightly but not that much," Butt said. "It's one of those where you're never settled and you're never in. "The time you think that you're in and suddenly the ball does something, so you've got to have a good laugh about it and stay relaxed because it's not under your control. "Definitely this pitch is not going to change completely. It's not going to become a batting paradise. There will always be something for the seamers and hopefully the spinners also get help and if Danish (Kaneria) can do what he's capable of we'll be well off." But while the opener was eager to put doubt in his opponents' minds, local paceman Doug Bollinger, who led a late fightback which saw the hosts take seven for 141 after tea, reckons the wicket is becoming increasingly placid. "It's doing a bit with the new ball obviously but when it's not swinging or anything it's a good place to bat as you saw with the (Pakistan) openers," said Bollinger, who continued his impressive recent form by claiming three for 70. "So you fight hard and then you'll get your runs from it." Despite facing a sizeable first-innings deficit, the lethal left-armer warned the tourists not to get ahead of themselves, insisting the hosts are capable of turning things around. "It was a good fightback by the guys," he said. "It was a bit frustrating early but they were two-for at tea and now they're nine down," he said. "So I think just try and get the last one tomorrow and then get our batting hats on for a certain amount of time and get something to bowl to in the second innings." Bollinger, a clear favourite with the SCG faithful on the opening two days, added of his stunning recent form: "I'm just really enjoying myself at the moment, just enjoying playing Test cricket and just being around the guys. "I'm really enjoying taking wickets and how I'm bowling at the moment. It's just the old thing of just keep putting in and they (wickets) will come late. That's just what I'm clinging to and I'm enjoying the fight of Test cricket."

The best part about these two teams playing is that I enjoy both humiliations and their recent batting form and collapses are providing enough opportunities for that. Though it would take a huge capitulation by Pakistan, even by their standards to lose this test now. But don't worry if they do I'll join in the fun. :icflove:

Not even Pakistan can mess it up from here, can they? Aus won't add more than 20
If Hussey adds 70 more runs with the last 2 wickets, they can make a match out of it, but Umar Akmal will score those runs in 4s and 6s in no time. Evem 200 run chase will be easy for this Pak batting lineup.
