[SpiritOf1903]

Butt approaching his average, Farhat having a field day - funny fourties for him

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Lunch. This has been Pakistan's session.

 

[ZAK]

Great session for PAK.

 

[ShehryarK]

Lunch!

Great stuff to last this far, despite all the chances and near misses

 

[Afridi_Fan]

One whole session and we didn't lost a wicket.

Pinch me.

 

[KA$H]

AWESOME cricket


unbelievebale stuff from our openers - gotta say teh scoreline suggests we're totally dominating this match so far

 

[*sallu*]

Great stuff. we had our moments but nonetheless its a great effort

Now we should look to play positively and put the pressure on the Aussies after lunch

 

[luvthegame]

lunch...

 

[On_the_up]

Excellent session for Pakistan

 

[bantu]

And my feed goes missing

issed:

mine too
thats lunch 84-0 well done............
I am off to bed.......... gotta go to work

 

[iZeeshan]

That must be some kind of a record.

Pakistan batting a session without losing a wicket...or the openers playing an entire session.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

-43, good going lads.

 

[Astro]

well played.lunch should bring farhat and butts mind to rest

 

[KA$H]

good night lads

i'm off to wake the wife

 

[Azrim_91]

right im off to sleep. I hope to god when i wake up, pakistan are in a veryy good position to win this match. pakistan zindabad

 

[chacha kashmiri]

On a bright note, pakistan always seem to lose wickets at the start of a new session.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

BIRYANI MUBARAK! extra large plates for IF and Butt.

large mugs of coffee and plenty red bull should do. we need to bat next day and half at this rate -near enough a miracle required

 

[insaaniyat]

Very good session. Pitch is still tough to play, turning a lot. Would be an interesting match. We have been very lucky though. I feel once Imran gets his fifty he will open up for few overs. He will Insha Allah make century

 

[insaaniyat]

-43, good going lads.

Well we survived without any loss. Good sign

 

[sali]

Damad is one lucky guy. He survived one drop catch, two run outs, one LBW, and ine other nick. He should make another scratchy 100 like NZ. I wish MoYo and Umer have the same luch..

 

[abcanada]

when is lunch over???

 

[shahidrazzaq]

When Farhat and Butt come back, hope to see some SIXES =)
Or SIX runs per 5 overs XD

 

[Oxy]

when is lunch over???

When Inti sings

 

[z2_daredevil]

when is lunch over???

lunch is 45 minutes

 

[murphyslaw79]

Sky sports going to show a programme on Waqar Younis, similar to the one shown for Wasim Akram yesterday

 

[Oxy]

good night lads

i'm off to wake the wife

I'd be homeless if I tried that stunt at home

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The pitch has eased out, there is not that seam movement which was there for yesterday. Only problem for Pakistani batsmen can be bounce though.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

The openers have done well - it wasnt easy to bat out there BUT they have retained their wickets and we are in a healthy position.

The last 45 mins did not make for pleasant viewing - the runs were hardly coming and there was some concentration lapses from the openers BUT we still have 10 wickets in the bag - and we are only trailing by 43 runs

The scoring rate will have to increase at some point BUT i think the priority is to get to 127 first

 

[Oxy]

Sky sports going to show a programme on Waqar Younis, similar to the one shown for Wasim Akram yesterday

They showed it last week - the Akra one is very revealing

 

[slix10]

when is lunch over???

in 30 mins.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I'd be homeless if I tried that stunt at home

) ) )

I tell you, that guy is one brave fellow.

) ) )

 

[sehban]

seriously how difficult is this pitch to bat on...
ball is moving all around the place for seamers and couple turned a lot for hauritz also

openers have done really well, but they still have had their brain farts... It is very necessary these two carry on as on this pitch a collapse for either side is just around the corner

Hopefully our batsmen can muster up 350 somehow, but it looks quite difficult

Inshallah we will do well

 

[Astro]

i think that this test isnt a problem to win, but the 3rd will be a challenge

 

[sali]

These guys need to learn to rotate the strike and go at least with RR 3.0.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i think that this test isnt a problem to win, but the 3rd will be a challenge

If that is your true assesment, I'm afraid you don't know much about Pakistan cricket then.
