Hi Everyone
After Pontings' and Husseys' irresponsible shots to lose their wickets in our 1st innings, I was ready to call for their heads , the Pakis played well for the first 3 days, all over us, but their tactics today were mystifying. Why they didn't surround Hussey and Siddle and really put pressure on our tail end batsmen during the 1st session today and then when they get a sniff, drop 4 catchs, they only have themselves to blame unfortunately.
The big moment, to me, was Hauritz' brave caught & bowled of the Pakis' captain, if that chance wasn't taken , the Pakistanis probably would've won. After that the inexperienced middle order and tail end batsmen couldn't hold their nerve and capitulated with an unseemly lack of fortitude and the game was ours.
Don't you just love summer and the cricket on tele, almost as good as Parramatta and the Swans winning their respective premierships this year.
Regards
Jeff
