[mindless slogging]

Not out.

[octavian]

[saeed-sohail]

Can't bear to watch this now.

 

[adzzy786]

[WithLoveFromCanada]

bachaT!!!

 

[insaaniyat]

thank god

 

[cricfan967]

Please Umar, NO.

 

[saj001]

katich>hauritz

 

[Momo]

tell moyo not to do that!

Moyo, don't do that.

And Pakistanis living dangerously.

 

[x2zee123]

phew close calll

 

[Vegitto1]

calm down umar. u got a chance now..make the most of it

 

[insaaniyat]

what is going on with Katich. IS he here to rock our boat? Hope not

 

[Lethal]

Wrist spinners are dangerous.

Umar has to be careful.

 

[Cheguvera]

Akmals don't care about team...it's all about their petty little ego...who cares about playing for the stumps, just dominate the bowler...

 

[Cheguvera]

What the heck is he doing...

 

[ShehryarK]

The idiot is listening to his teenaged groupies and "fans" it seems!!! Needs to block out every single thought and just play a couple of maidens, that's it. 149/3 is miles better than 161/4!

 

[tauseefm]

whats umar trying to do

 

[saj001]

Akmal calm down cheetah

you can have him tomorrow

 

[Vegitto1]

umar needs to get off the strike..he looks ready to go

 

[Lethal]

Moyo, don't do that.

And Pakistanis living dangerously.

)

 

[saj001]

4 by umar

 

[Cheguvera]

The idiot is listening to his teenaged groupies and "fans" it seems!!! Needs to block out every single thought and just play a couple of maidens, that's it. 149/3 is miles better than 161/4!

Well said my brother...

 

[Lethal]

Umar dispatches this one for 4. Wait for the loose balls.

 

[UP]

Short and pulled away for 4

 

[itduzz]

yousuf needs to calm him down

 

[cricfan967]

444444444

 

[insaaniyat]

whats umar trying to do

Tauseef Bhai samjhaa-o usko I can't watch it. Hopefully we survive wihtout a loss

 

[Astro]

44444444444

 

[Chuffed]

This kid needs to have some respect for Test cricket.

 

[IAJ]

lols Umar the lahore dynamite akmal is a brave young lad. Finally he got the four he wanted.

 

[Vegitto1]

he needed that 4 to calm down his nerve

 

[ShehryarK]

Akmals don't care about team...it's all about their petty little ego...who cares about playing for the stumps, just dominate the bowler...

Oh please! That's uncalled for and unbelievably harsh. Yes, he played a stupid shot, but then many of ours bats do it all the time - hardly a reason to question their patriotism or their team spirit, is it now!?

 

[insaaniyat]

yousuf needs to calm him down

Moyo needs to calm himself down too and not to chase the wide ball

 

[saj001]

egde and 4

 

[iafzal]

come on Akmal do not throw the wkt away like this

 

[Vegitto1]

that one swung dangerously

 

[Big Mac]

Akmals don't care about team...it's all about their petty little ego...who cares about playing for the stumps, just dominate the bowler...

This is the "intent" and "fearless", "positive" batting that everyone was demanding in the first innings

 

[saeed-sohail]

Does anyone remember last over of the day Shane warne,Basit ali, 95series, bowled round the leg on last ball. Basit was never the same player after that.

 

[UP]

edged and 4

 

[Lethal]

Yousuf gets a 4.

 

[Cheguvera]

What the HECCKKKKK....

 

[mindless slogging]

Moyo is playing as dangerous as Umar Akmal lol.

 

[Astro]

another 4444444444444444

 

[Vegitto1]

just 4 overs to get thru man...please ask em to get thru 5 overs

 

[tauseefm]

Tauseef Bhai samjhaa-o usko I can't watch it. Hopefully we survive wihtout a loss

Yaar agar meri suntay hotay to banday na ban jatay

 

[cricfan967]

Okay, somebody is getting out.

 

[Momo]

I have top leave but don't want to miss this historic match where Pakistan beats (inshaAllah) Australia in Australia. I guess I will stay for a few more minutes.

 

[Digital]

Calm down Kid !

 

[pak4life]

hopefully this is the last over i need tea

 

[Vegitto1]

well left yousaf! heart in mouth moments

 

[Cheguvera]

This is the "intent" and "fearless", "positive" batting that everyone was demanding in the first innings

There is a time and place for aggression...blind fearlessness won't get you far...

 

[pak4life]

just 4 overs to get thru man...please ask em to get thru 5 overs

close of play in a few minutes

 

[Momo]

The *****-cat named Panic has been set loose in the commentary box.

I love it.

 

[Dare2Dream]

These guys are playing to win

 

[saj001]

why did he give that wide

 

[Vegitto1]

is it possible to have heart-attack watching cricket?

 

[Digital]

Pakistan require another 265 runs with 7 wickets remaining
its gettable insha allah need couple of big partnership

 

[Big Mac]

You know what, I've just realised - not hoped, not dreamed but realised - that we might be trying to win this. Genuinely trying to win this game and giving no second thought to playing for the draw.

**** it, throw the bat at everything. I'm in shock that we're honestly trying to win this damn thing, this could be the most amazing thing in Pakistan cricket history, at worst it would be on a par with the '92 World Cup.

 

[Vegitto1]

that wasnt a wide. blind doctrove

 

[iZeeshan]

Test match on.

 

[ShehryarK]

There is a time and place for aggression...blind fearlessness won't get you far...

Yes, then its not 'fearless', it just becomes stupid! This is Test cricket, not gulli danda

 

[saj001]

shot 3 runs

 

[Digital]

is it possible to have heart-attack watching cricket?

Ya

 

[iZeeshan]

is it possible to have heart-attack watching cricket?

Yes, I almost had two

 

[UP]

Good shot Yousaf 3 more.

 

[Astro]

3 runs... good stuf, moyo in 40s

 

[saeed-sohail]

160/3

 

[saj001]

Last over coming up

 

[Astro]

[Seen Sheen]

[Vegitto1]

**** it, throw the bat at everything. I'm in shock that we're honestly trying to win this damn thing, this could be the most amazing thing ever

I know, as long as we go for the win and lose while trying to win and put up a fight I do not mind!

 

[pak4life]
