Pakistan are starting to look a little cocky. Quite a few swings- near catches, bowleds and stumpings. I smell a wicket soon!

Re: 2nd Test: Australia v Pakistan @ Sydney (Sun-Thu)
The bowling has been terrible, by our quicks. The reason why Pakistan took so many wickets was because they bowled full, allowing the ball to swing, drawing the batsman into driving or become in 2 minds. You don't need to bowl fast on this wicket, just get it into the right areas. A guy like Stuey Clark/McGrath would've feasted on these conditions, just like Asif did. Our bowls lack the control to adapt to these conditions.

And i'm about to turn it off in about 5 minutes. We've gone from bad to worse as soon as Ponting said we'd bat yesterday.

Re: 2nd Test: Australia v Pakistan @ Sydney (Sun-Thu)
Iqbal finally gets some runs.
Can't believed his lasted 40 balls.
Keep it up tho Paki's won't be long till the likes of the Aussie flogs like Watson and Johnson start cracking the sads.

Re: 2nd Test: Australia v Pakistan @ Sydney (Sun-Thu)
This game is all but over. Can't see the Pakistani's making less than 250 with 300 more realistic number given the batting to come.
Australia will be batting day 4 and 5 trying to save the match and with Sami, Asif, Gul and Kaniera on a turning pitch its good night.

Bugger.
Solid innings Butt. Shame he couldn't get his century, hopefully gets some confidence in this innings and can push on and cement his spot in the team now.

Great ball from Johnson, just a shame he only bowls them once every so often between about 10 overs of rubbish.

Beautiful bowling Mitchy. Thats the spot too hit. Pitch it up and just on middle and off and things can happen
