[kingusama92]

Now Yousuf joins the party.

Hauritz should just give up while he's ahead.

 

[ZAK]

Since the NZ series i have benn wondering, what does Umar says when he defends a ball?

 

[Vegitto1]

haurtiz will take revenge

 

[Momo]

Have we not got enough craziness in pakistan batting already???

Don't you just love it? I do.

 

[Inswinger]

Just hoping he doesn't play one shot too many.

 

[saj001]

beautiful cover drive for 2

 

[karachiite]

Another exquisite drive by Yousuf. A couple this time.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

ki Hauritz per tars aa gaya. He is not giving the strike to :umarakmal

 

[karachiite]

Don't you just love it? I do.

I'm up at 5 in the morning watching it. That's love for you.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

+105/3

 

[saj001]

105/3

 

[Afridi_Fan]

105/3

 

[coy0607]

i think the plan is to get a 200 run lead today and not bat at all tomorrow, or a max of 7-8 overs (half hour-just to mess with their minds)......and it may be because of the weather, rain predicted for the next 2 days

 

[karachiite]

Just hope Umar doesn't do anything stupid against Johnson. We were expecting great things from this partnership in the first test and we know what happened.

 

[Chuffed]

Ok, hold your breath again, but this time for longer...........

 

[saj001]

single for umar

 

[Momo]

I'm up at 5 in the morning watching it. That's love for you.

Well then you deserve the little treat on offer from Akmal and Moyo.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

That is disappointing. Only a single to :umarakmal

 

[saj001]

Excellent running by these 2

 

[Vegitto1]

come on Umar, head down

 

[JeeraBlade]

One of my Indian friend just e-mailed me;

"looks like Umar Akmal is putting up a show for up coming IPL auction!"

 

[Afridi_Fan]

single

 

[octavian]

We dont have want another Afridi, but umar is just brilliant

 

[saj001]

Umar missed out on half volley

 

[UP]

Good running.

 

[Vegitto1]

his foot movement is good

 

[kingusama92]

I have to remind myself this is a test match. )

 

[karachiite]

Thats the kind of shot that'll get him out.

 

[karachiite]

Well left there.

 

[Vegitto1]

he just needs to concentrate

 

[saj001]

Three more to umar

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

+110/3

 

[karachiite]

Through 3rd man for a triple.

 

[Vegitto1]

what an amazing catch!

 

[karachiite]

Well then you deserve the little treat on offer from Akmal and Moyo.

Well its certainly keeping me awake as MoYo goes.

 

[Sledger]

Since the NZ series i have benn wondering, what does Umar says when he defends a ball?

'waiting'.

Yousuf out.

 

[UP]

3 more to Umar.

 

[saj001]

what a catch by haddin , moyo is disgusted with himself

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

damn!!! yousuf out!!!

+110/4

abye yaar!!!

 

[Big Mac]

Oh no, Yousuf gone to a stunning catch from Haddin but a very loose shot. Yousuf is furious with himself

 

[Ryankhan]

**** damn. moyo gone. wht the hell. i hope we dont see a collapse here.

 

[Chuffed]

Damn

 

[tauseefm]

Come on moyo

 

[Vegitto1]

hmmm...

 

[abcanada]

YOUSUF - "Damage has been done............ so i guess i will be leaving"

 

[UP]

Yousaf gone

 

[Vegitto1]

can we get a lead of 200?

 

[Momo]

We dont have want another Afridi, but umar is just brilliant

Agree with the second part. Strongly disagree with the first. Although 'another Afridi' is impossible.

Yousaf goes.

 

[karachiite]

That was a really poor shot. Misbah is gonna come and block one end up now. All hopes rest on Umar. Can we get to 300???

 

[insaaniyat]

bad shot by moyo

 

[saj001]

Need a one big century

 

[fanimw]

moyo gone

 

[Khabri420]

Moyo gone. Well played though. Mishhhhbaaahhh in

 

[Vegitto1]

mental block! Pak cant seem to reach the 300 mark

 

[iafzal]

dang not a great time to get out, but what a catch

 

[tauseefm]

Oh no, Yousuf gone to a stunning catch from Haddin but a very loose shot. Yousuf is furious with himself

Agree, it was an ODI shot but he played well.

 

[ZAK]

's gone.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Dont worry lads we had another partnership there. We just need to keep adding 35 runs per partnership to take the lead to 250+

 

[insaaniyat]

That was a really poor shot. Misbah is gonna come and block one end up now. All hopes rest on Umar. Can we get to 300???

good question Moyo was looking so good. oh well

 

[Desi]

Yosuf was PISSED

 

[abcanada]

Misbah/Umar/Kamran ................. these 3 just need to contribute 30-40 each and we have the 200+ lead. No need to ask for impossible.

 

[Khalil]

Moyo out. What a ugly shot

 

[IAJ]

Hope we can avoid yet another collapse as the total is approaching 250

 

[Khabri420]

Agree with the second part. Strongly disagree with the first. Although 'another Afridi' is impossible.

Yousaf goes.

says hi.

 

[Big Mac]

Come on Misbah, I want to see a stupendous display of tuk tuk for the next 5 overs

 

[saj001]

Haurits to umar

 

[karachiite]

Moyo looked so comfortable too. Looked the most comfortable out of all our batsmen. Umar needs to value his wicket.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

If Umar Akmal can get to 60+, we can ensure a very good chance of winning.

 

[Chuffed]

New ball due soon as well, we won't be making 280 now, let alone 300.

 

[Momo]

Misbah in. Expect the run rate to slow down.

 

[Raz]

Here comes Khan Niazi

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

No harm done Inshallah this match is still ours...

 

[Cheguvera]

This is why Umar Akmal is not good for the team...he forces others in the lineup to change their game...Yousuf was calm and playing on the merit, but had to change to take most of the strike to keep Jr. calm and off the strike...

 

[karachiite]

Umarrrrrrr calm downnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Big Mac]

Oh Junior, what the HELL is that shot?

 

[Vegitto1]
