amir is a

 

[insaaniyat]

I just hope they keep rotating the strike and don't get bogged down.

 

[cricket_fever]

You do have big hope from Akmal brothers. Hope you are right

akmals are akmals.....how many akmal bros are there? get them all into the national side,,and al probs will be sorted!!!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

This is truly a good test that the players have to face.

Not a bad idea. Send Mr Butt the request

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Not a bad idea. Send Mr Butt the request

he'll eat it up!

 

[insaaniyat]

Well we will move older one to opening slot and make him the captain too

 

[choclate]

yeah watson will start and he will start reverse swinging from word GO!

very crucial 30 min for Pakistan, we somehow need to get the shine out of the ball!

it's about 50 overs old now, shine is long gone, it is reversing currently

 

[cricket_fever]

he'll eat it up!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Well we will move older one to opening slot and make him the captain too

mmmm, not a bad idea!

 

[Daytripped]

How much longer?

 

[insaaniyat]

Run rate will sure be good today, I have no doubt about it. Just pray we don't lose any wicket till tea at least. I think Aamir is a good batsman, better than Faisal for sure

 

[cricket_fever]

haha! The third one is a wicketkepper as well, so :akmal ????

we only know of 3, what if there are more????? Dig them up!!

 

[insaaniyat]

mmmm, not a bad idea!

But you need to bring Afridi the man to the test team

 

[cricket_fever]

PPers,,,i am going and sleeping, wil be waking up fpr sehri in 2 hrs time...will catch up later

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

But you need to bring Afridi the man to the test team

yep agree.

 

[insaaniyat]

I wonder if Yousef has any plan for today's play or is he going by just his faith in miracles do happen

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Would have prayed alot and done his homework Inshallah.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Shabba Khair!

 

[insaaniyat]

yep agree.

He gives us a great bowling option. He has improved a lot since he last played test. And with bat he can't d oany worse than Faisal, Misbah or Imran. His fielding is great. He is aggresive which we do need in Australia. But I don't see that happening in this series

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Looks like a tough day ahead for Pakistan

4 down with Misbah and Kami to come who can bat well the former can but not too sure about the Mis-bahh!

 

[insaaniyat]

You need to stay, and watch Omar century before lunch Insha-Allah

Sadly but true. I hope they play Sami in the next match instead of Rauf.

A tough day for sure. I just hope for once misbah clicks and stay long enough to support Kami and Omar.

 

[insaaniyat]

Yousaf does not blieve in plans saab Allah ke haath mein ha

That's what bothers me. Allah be help karta hai jin kaa koyee plan hotaa hai

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I've already made one for my team today to win us the game! InshahAllah even this Akmal would make one today InshahAllah.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A tough day for sure. I just hope for once misbah clicks and stay long enough to support Kami and Omar.

To be honest, am counting more on the Akmal brothers than Misbah because we all know he'll be thinking more about a funny dismissal to get himself out! Seriously, he needs to show some mettle today!

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Aamer needs to take a leaf out of Hauritz book and needs to put in a meaningful effort for once.

 

[cricketpassion]

Waqar is encouraging Amir and Umar I think

 

[insaaniyat]

Aamer needs to take a leaf out of Hauritz book and needs to put in a meaningful effort for once.
