2nd Test between Pakistan (148 & 443/7) and Australia (556/9d & 97/2d) ends in a tense draw on Day 5

[Firebat]

This is above DEFCON-1. Rizwan needs to face every single delivery.

 

[Amjid Javed]

we are going lose this. Sajid gone.

Send Nauman in.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Any idea on batting ability of Nauman?

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

TBH Rizwan has to farm the strike for 80 percent of overs, cant give too many balls to other guys

 

[Shafi]

idiot!!!! throws his wicket

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Azhar, Fawad, Faheem, Sajid, Nauman - test specialists, or test clowns nobody knows.

test clowns indeed... Get over them for good..

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

And people wanted Babar to attack early and win it. This team doesn't deserve the batter like Babar.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

What a stupid way to get out

 

[adzzy786]

Think should have let Sajid Khan play his natural game. Playing defensively got his wicket

 

[sweep_shot]

8 overs to go. 3 wickets in hand.

It should be a draw.

 

[Shafi]

Saqlain needs to kicked out. He didn't do anything with the spinners.

 

[oatmeal]

Shaheen will save the match

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Send Hasan instead of Nauman for now

 

[SM1989]

8 overs to go. 3 wickets in hand.

It should be a draw.

This is Pakistan. Mental midgets against ruthless australian bowling. Australia should win this.

 

[Major]

The problem is, hasan ali is a hitter not a defender

 

[Omer2002]

why is Rizwan playing with hard hands.. i think he will keep going for shots

 

[sweep_shot]

Swepson has had an ordinary game.

50-0-140-0.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Rizwan wants to get to his century.

 

[PakPremi]

In Nauman we trust lets see. Insha Allah

 

[Firebat]

I will give my left leg for us to survive this. Cannot handle another heartbreak. Please Rizwan.

 

[Major]

Nauman to face the over

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan wants to get to his century.

No he does not,playing safe shots is best to survive with so many close fielders.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The tailenders are facing too many deliveries

 

[Shafi]

We always have bad luck. Now the light will allow full overs to play.

 

[sweep_shot]

7 overs to go.

Leftie Nauman vs off-spinner Lyon.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rizwan needs to farm strike better here.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Any idea on batting ability of Nauman?

Better than Faheem, Sajid, Azhar and Fawad.

 

[Shafi]

Rizwan should go for draw rather than 100. 7 overs are too much for our tail enders.

 

[Major]

you have to give credit to Nathan lyon, the guy had one wicket and after bowling really well the whole day he has got the wickets and looking for a 5ver

 

[Cric1234]

Hard to believe we’re playing at home and just hoping for a draw after the first day.

As usual a hundred will cover mediocrity on display and fans will cheer while the team keeps declining.

 

[sweep_shot]

Nauman has good defense.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

lol Nauman has a proper defensive stance much better than Faheem

 

[Arsal_AK]

No he does not,playing safe shots is best to survive with so many close fielders.

This.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hard to believe we’re playing at home and just hoping for a draw after the first day.

As usual a hundred will cover mediocrity on display and fans will cheer while the team keeps declining.

We have no option after shameful performance in 1st innings.

 

[Major]

6 overs left.

 

[Cric1234]

Bring Starc on and bowl Yorkers at the left handlers.

 

[Major]

freeebiee for rizwan

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Nauman should be batting above Faheem and Sajid, he looks much better...

 

[Rana]

My prayers are with you Rizwan

See us through please!

 

[hafeezrocks]

Rizwan hitting Sixes.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six!

Rizwan is on 87*.

 

[gkb101277867]

Hard to believe we’re playing at home and just hoping for a draw after the first day.

As usual a hundred will cover mediocrity on display and fans will cheer while the team keeps declining.

Pretty pathetic mentality especially with the pitches that have been produced

 

[shariqnoor]

Feels like we're going to have our "why did he do that" moment. Hopefully not. But our batsmen don't inspire any confidence.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan has nerves . though he may lose his wicket trying to be overpsitive.

 

[sweep_shot]

Australia could've tried out Smith's part-time spin here. Swepson has been ineffective.

 

[Rana]

Ya Allah Rizwan humain draw karwane main kamyaab ho! Aameen

 

[hafeezrocks]

Rizwan should look to take a single during last or second last ball of the over otherwise tailender will face full next over.

 

[Ashmal]

My prayers are with you Rizwan

See us through please!

Can't believe my eyes

 

[Mean&Green]

5 vs 3

 

[Amjid Javed]

5 overs left

 

[Sunzi]

Man. Tension, tension!

What's this Rana backing Rizzy boy? Sub Kuch dekhliye ab!

 

[sweep_shot]

5 more overs to go.

 

[Sunzi]

Can't believe my eyes

Snap!

 

[Major]

damn, naiuman defence is better than all other batters that came in

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need to stop picking just 5 batsmen (2 passengers in fawad n Azhar) and fake all rounder at 7.

 

[Major]

Nauman's defense is as good as Misbah's

 

[Major]

Rizwan needs to make sure that the last over of the day its him facing, do the switching somehow

 

[Sidilicious]

you have to give credit to Nathan lyon, the guy had one wicket and after bowling really well the whole day he has got the wickets and looking for a 5ver

ISnt that a great lesson for life.

Even when things arent going your way, keep doing your best, and keep trying. Things will eventually turn around.

 

[Cric1234]

Not enforcing follow on cost Australia and also playing Swepson who’s lacked any threat.

 

[world cup captain]

Azhar has got to go for Saud. We cannot let up games because of personal achievements.

 

[sweep_shot]

4 overs to go. 3 wickets in hand.

Should be a draw.

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 overs left.

 

[Kroll]

Cometh the hour, cometh the man

Rizwan its your time my man!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

ISnt that a great lesson for life.

Even when things arent going your way, keep doing your best, and keep trying. Things will eventually turn around.

 

[Rana]

Aussies missing the trick here

They should bowl Starc full throttle at Uncle Nauman

 

[SM1989]

4 overs to go. 3 wickets in hand.

Should be a draw.

Remember Michael Clarke 3 wicket over?

 

[Rana]

Man. Tension, tension!

What's this Rana backing Rizzy boy? Sub Kuch dekhliye ab!

Grow up

Pakistan first. Individuals come later

 

[Cric1234]

Aussies missing the trick here

They should bowl Starc full throttle at Uncle Nauman

Nauman Shaheen both left handed a they’re bowling useless Swepson give Starc an over of Yorkers.

 

[PakPremi]

With so many close fielders batting is very risky affair. Rizwan nerves of steel.

 

[Major]

crosing needs to happen or else at this rate the last over goes to naumi

 

[Kroll]

Put down !

 

[Major]

did he jsut drop the catch..

USMAN KHAWAJA THE PAKISTANII BOY

 

[Rana]

Khwaja drops Rizwan

Ya Allah let us draw please!

 

[Villager6964]

Sahi gal ae!
Mein bhi ik kuri peechen aan.
Ik din taan Haan kare gi.LOL

 

[Major]

Crowd chatting KHAWAJA KHAWAJA ) ) ) )

 

[oatmeal]

Khwaja Dropped the match

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rizwan dropped. so lucky.

3 overs left.

 

[Firebat]

Agent Usman doing the business,

 

[ssuhaide]

12th man Usman. Gosh he is a bad fielder.

 

[sweep_shot]

Khawaja. LOL! He dropped an easy catch.
