To the delight of all Pakistani fans they have realised their team is not a bunch of filthy money hungry assholes, but instead is just shit. Mercurial chokers rather than dirty match fixers.
Ofcourse not everyone thinks this, there were more than a few people on twitter saying that they thought it was matchfixingness rather than shitness.
But I thought this dude made a good joke:
“Quiz: Which ex-Pak Cricketer, Actor, Politician, Selectors, will be the first to accuse PAK of Match fixing !”
It wasn’t match fixing, it was test cricket,
Mohammad Yousuf’s captaincy was too obviously fucken horrendous to be match fixing. Short of not having 11 men on the field, insisting everyone wear eye patches or injecting heroin into every player’s eyeball he could not have operated his team worse.
Another potential match fixing moment is the fact that Nathan Hauritz took 5 wickets, again. Yet again he ran through the tail like dysentery and got top order wickets with luck which might look like match fixing, but could easily be described as tailenders losing their nut under pressure and op order batsmen trying to get on top of Hauritz. Plus Yousuf saw him as a such a danger he tried to kill him with a drive.
Then there was Kamran Akmal. How could his fumbly glovework every be confused with matchfixing. And a bit like Yousuf’s captaincy, if you are really match fixing you’d want to be a touch more subtle than dropping one man 3 times, and then not being able to catch the one tailender they cannot dismiss.
Lastly there was the little baby roller that was used, which doesn’t say match fixing, but does show that the leadership group of Pakistan know very little about what will help a pitch.
I hate that when Pakistan play shit match fixing is mentioned, it takes away their fans alien given right to call their team a huge bunch of choking nuff nuffs. It also ignores the brilliance of a choke like this, and is there a better sight in test match cricket than a team chasing a small total while hooking up their own autoerotic asphyxiation device.
The ridiculous fields, Kamran Akmal’s desperation seconds after dropping the ball (x4), Peter Siddle’s seemingly 2 foot wide bat, the attacking positive start, Hauritz’s thumb-crushing forearm catch, Kamran’s face when he realised he had fucked up his chance at redemption, the cautious middle, Umar’s hearts in the right place brain is up his ass swing, and the tail making struggling to keep out the spin demon at the end.
At one stage we saw a close up of Umar and straight after it Pakistani fans. Oh the humanity.
It should also be mentioned that Australia played their asses off on the last day.
I do want to think Aussies wins the game fair and square. There was no umpiring blunders.
if you look at aussie point of view , it is a great win. They mastered the art of applying pressure. All bowlers get in line …no freebies. All attack same time. like 1996 bulls trailed 23 points after first half in playoffs…jordan/pippen played suffocating defense to win the game.
Aussies does that well.
That said , this game lost by pakistan top 3. They are playing like it is 20/20. They really out of touch with test cricket. They are good in sub continent flat pitches. Also pakistan gets this special mojo from allah when they play india. so if india beat pakistan , it is fair and square as not an inch is freebie.
But against aussies , pakistan was not confident of themself to pull off a win. Umar akmal and Yousuf two man team is not good enough . I think Pak should fire butt ,farhat , utter useless faizal (javed is pushing his arse like gavsakar pushing his son , srikkanth pushing his annirrudth in all ranji games and in CSK) , kamran akmal ( worst wicket keeping).
Bowling is fine.
I would say Pak choked but you have to admire aussie spirit of winning and put everything on the line.
I never see indian team go aggressive in winning..it is always be can sachin score a hundred and why karthick hit six not allowing fuctard sachin get century.
Indians priority is convoluted. Not just sports..every subject.. it is like trying to creates excuse for their existance to feel good. :D
jrod,
do you know your site went down when aussie won?.
Yousuf must be feeling a little silly, coming off from an attack on the T20 format saying it’s not helping youngsters focus for long, and getting out trying to kill Hauritz, when all he had to do was be patient and, well, and win.
More disappointing than Smith getting a century. I blame alcohol: they don’t drink any. If you don’t drink alcohol how can you know what having ‘bottle’ feels like.
Oh…. I was so looking forward to the pointing at Ponting and saying ‘ha ha’.
.-= Rob´s last blog ..2009, a mixed year for England =-.
Straight from a Hollywood action film – Middle Eastern/Asian warlords in complete control for the entire film, then the unheralded whitey comes in and saves the day for the ‘good guys’.
But Australia are NOT the good guys, and the fact that Pakistan allowed Hauritz to become the hero, should ensure the merry-go-round that is Pakistan players/coaches/selectors/support staff/mascot continues.
Maybe the entire Pakistan team has genital warts and were desperate to get back to the pavilion?
I really feel sorry for Kaneria… bowled like a champ, got hussey three times but was thwarted by kamran’s tiny hands.

Alex, I did know that. Someone big must have linked here, or every fan turned up at the same time just to see what I was saying. But I was sleeping.
Most betting sites went down around the same time.
Apparently.

My god, the horrow of it all. Ritzy is morphing into a test spinner.
Well, okay, a test slow bowler…
the odds for an aussie win were up to 5-1 at one stage of the pakistan innings. am guessing it mightve got higher than that b4 messers hussey and siddle got together. cant believe i didnt follow yousefs lead and put my house on the aussies…
Akmal was horrendous. I do not remember any other international wicketkeeper dropping so many catches in a day. Is this a world record? The drop of Siddle was so bad that for a moment I thought it could have been fixing or internal politics that is rife in the Pakistani team (usually).
Call it what you like, but betting on the Pakistanis to do something outrageous is ridiculously profitable. As is betting on Australia to collapse in at least one innings of every test.
This paki outfit is sheer crap. A friend and I were discussing a joint Indo-Pak team, and say 10 years ago it would have had say 7 pakis and 4 Indians, but today, i wouldnt even take 3 pakis from this lot.
lol at alex’s suggestion to drop Butt, Farhat, Faisal. Kind of the way Pakistan is run – a queen of hearts saying ‘off with their heads!’ and $%@# the fact that they did well in the first innings. Like I said, $%@# alex and $%@# his bird brained comments.
Alex uses every comment to link back to India and to Sachin… the rest is badly constructed ranting.
.-= Rishabh´s last blog ..End of a decade =-.
Rishabh, old boy – I believe that should be “poorly contructed ranting”.
Me poorly constructed ranting? No. :D
Every one need a mirror. Everyone rants!. All the time.
Everyone talking to themself. All the time.
It is just that human monkeys do not aware of their own babbling. :D
My target is sachin fans because they are the reason for everything bad in the world.
Only fools think someone is a god seriously. That too a coward called sachin choke tendulkar as GOD?. No way. Sachin can only be Shit crap. i hate selfish stat whores. :D
Pak team lacks fighters. They become soft.
I will fire all except yusuf , akmal , asif, ameer,kaneria,sami and gul.
I predict pak will lose again next Test. I do not think you have to einstein to predict that unless my pets who are obsessed to say something opposite….:D
Come here my pets ..timothy ,,horatius…i just kicked them in their face…:D
For everyone except you-know-who – http://bit.ly/4S2Ar4 and http://bit.ly/5FIBhO
Still cant believe how this ridiculous team messed this one up ! Was hoping to wake up to the match being already over and what do i get – Target: 176. And im like whoa ! how the f**k did that happen ? Some Hussey magic with ? With the way he’d been batting recently ? lol…. No wayyy,,,,had to have gotten some help from the Pakis. – Good job KAMRAN …. for screwing the series up for th rest of us.
And so what if they had to get 176 ?…. all was not lost. All they needed to do was put their heads down and bat……and bat and bat. I think and some point somebody should have reminded they that it wasnt a T20 and that they had a whole day to go…..
And losing 2 wickets in an over 3 times just ain’t on….. even in school cricket……!
I found man fixing more corrupt than match fixing
