[insaaniyat]

Good luck to you all, hope we get a good game.

Good time and good fight, let the underdog win the match, Insha-Allah

 

[iafzal]

something is messed up. Cricinfo says match is to start in 5 mins where as half the channels are saying 30 mins still to go

 

[saj001]

wow dani boy calm down , you will play second test

 

[Sheikh]

Good opportunity for Rauf and Ajmal to stake a claim. It'll also be a chance for us to see how our bench strength is.

First things first though and it's up to Asif and Aamer to make an early breakthrough or two.

 

[sali]

Big opportunity for Rauf and Ajmal. Let's see if they take it or make us miss Gul and Kaneria.

 

[saj001]

Team coming out and in huddle

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We're live on Star Cricket

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

willow tv says the game is going to start in 30 mins when it gonna start in like a couple of mins...

And to you RA. I think it'll be a good game.

This talk of Poitical reasons behind Kaneria's exclusion is plain rubbish

It's on. The batsmen make their way to the middle.

[JeeraBlade]

Good luck to you all, hope we get a good game.

Good luck to both teams!!

 

[On_the_up]

Asif marking his run up

 

[iafzal]

Although I am Misbah's fan, after that horrendous shot he played to get out in the last test, he didn't deserve to be in the team.

You are right but if rest assured at least one of the two (bhanja or iTukTuk) will not play the rest of the series after this match.
We should be seeing either Fawad or Malik. Most likely Malik first as we all know seniority rules

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

c'mon Asif !!

 

[On_the_up]

Watson to take first strike

 

[JeeraBlade]
