[Inswing]

150 for AA well played azhar

 

[ExplicitAI]

150 up for Azhar well done

 

[QalandarFan]

Cut 150 Up For Azhar Ali Well Played Superb Knock!

 

[Abdul]

Excellent innings. Should go for the double.

 

[Justcrazy]

150 for Azhar

 

[Pakprideuk]

What a cut shot. He has the shots, i guess he just chooses to not play them.

 

[Nado_]

Yes azhar!! Need to destroy starcs confidence and hopefully get him exhausted

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Sohail better waaaack here. Need quick 30 here..

 

[Anchorman]

This is the most watchful I've ever seen Sohail Khan bat.

 

[fast1975]

the issue is pakistan batting collapse so often... we have lost 7 or more wickets in one session at least 5 times in last 1 year especially batting second. what happened in hamilton was truly shameful where we cannot survive even 20 overs of new ball

so misbah is facing all these toughts

 

[t_kaay]

Which channel is broad casting in UK

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Edged for

 

[Haz95]

Interesting to note that if you take out that horrible 2013 where Azher averaged a paltry 19 in 14 innings, he'd be averaging 51.

 

[Anchorman]

Shaba, Sohail! Get those edges going!

 

[Justcrazy]

Sohail has been bogged down

 

[Inswing]

Finally a

 

[QalandarFan]

Edged

 

[ExplicitAI]

should break Sohail's shackles

 

[Archer]

Sohail lucky there, almost caught by Khawaja if he had reacted faster

 

[Hawkeye]

Match is a draw.

Even if we win the next one, we aren't winning the series!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Completely agree with all the comments Shane Warne has made about Pakistan. Spot on.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

We should bat all of today and make sure we cant lose.

Then leave ourselves 2 days to bowl Australia out twice

 

[Haroon786]

Yeah, Sohail needs to take Starc on because I don't see him surviving another Hazelwood over.

Just about survives - thank Khawaja for that.

 

[On_the_up]

Come on SK, dont get out tamely, at least give it a tonk. Now is definitely the time,

 

[Haroon786]

We should bat all of today and make sure we cant lose.

Then leave ourselves 2 days to bowl Australia out twice

Only 3 wickets left, would be fortunate to bat out the morning session.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Please bring lyon on... Need quick runs here. Azhar pakistan rahul Dravid.

 

[On_the_up]

Azhar now has the 2nd highest test score by a Pakistani in Australia.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Match is a draw.

Even if we win the next one, we aren't winning the series!

Arent we happy we have a chance to draw a match (albeit courtesy of rain) ... after 4 successive blanks in Australia ?

Who knows we might even draw the series in Sydney.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

We should bat all of today and make sure we cant lose.

Then leave ourselves 2 days to bowl Australia out twice

Really difficult, especially with the heat of Melbourne, for pace bowlers to go on for 2 days.

 

[Archer]

Khawaja removed from slips to make amends

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Match is a draw.

Even if we win the next one, we aren't winning the series!

If weather stays good. U never know, pakistan generally feel good when good total is on board.

 

[Justcrazy]

If Pakistan want to win , they need to have ball in hand soon.

 

[Nado_]

Yes lads destroy this starcs confidence

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Khawaja removed from slips to make amends

Unfair on khawaja that was tough... Aussies being ...

 

[Anchorman]

Azhar channeling our Starboy there.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Warne is actually good when he's talking about cricket.

 

[Inswing]

SK have already costed us 2 runs

 

[QalandarFan]

Azhar should try to get a double hundred. And Sohail Khan's running is absolutely pathetic!

 

[ExplicitAI]

More effort needed in the running to be honest.

 

[Nado_]

Starc puthar, aaj thujeh wicket nai milney, ghar jaa

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If weather stays good. U never know, pakistan generally feel good when good total is on board.

I kind of agree.

However the main worry is, we dont have enough arsenal to go through Australian batting twice in 2 days.

Not in Australia, at least.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to have attacking field today , stop worrying about runs and go for wickets . Even if they can get boundaries let them , no point look to defend.

 

[Solid Snake]

Sher Khan conserving his energy

 

[lahoriyah1234]

SK have already costed us 2 runs

Sher Khan is already tired..

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lol our real batting starts after 7.

 

[Abdul]

Sohail Khan is seriously pathetic when it comes to running between the wickets.

 

[Anchorman]

Hazlewood is in disbelief as to how he hasn't got Sohail out yet.

It's taking him longer than it took for him to dismiss Amla.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Edged by Azhar for .Highest score by a Pakistani in Australia now!

 

[ExplicitAI]

useful

 

[Nado_]

Sher khan has had too much nihari this morning already falling asleep

 

[QalandarFan]

Highest score By a Pakistani Batsman in Australia!

 

[Anchorman]

Poor Sohail exhausted. )

 

[Inswing]

Another milestone for azhar

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar moves to 160

 

[ExplicitAI]

Well done Azhar for scoring the highest score in Aus by a Pak batsman/

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sohail survives.

 

[the Great Khan]

Azhar just silenced all of his critics..actually smashed their mouths shut...

Great great player..

 

[Nado_]

Birdie now on

 

[Archer]

Bird into the attack, have a feeling that he will get Sohail

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Well done Azhar for scoring the highest score in Aus by a Pak batsman/

Fantastic innings, innings which we haven't been seeing for a long time. Azhar should be the test Captain after this series is over. ODI Azhar please leave it to sarfraz plz.

 

[Anchorman]

Looks like it'll rain soon.

 

[Zeshan547]

Wth is sher khan doing, hit out or get out for love of God.

 

[Hasan123]

Lol Azhar Ali surpassing anything so called Pakistans GOAT Salman Butt has ever done in Australia. ) ) [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION], you and [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] thought he could outperform Azhar in these conditions how wrong were you both.

 

[Nado_]

Idealy need to get 50 in the next 10 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Lyon will be bowling soon , will Pakistan attack

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Yar Bird ko toh Phainta doh yar

 

[Jabo]

No chance of a result

 

[lahoriyah1234]

SHOULD PINK BALL BE USED, when weather is gloomy - dark and floodlights are on?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Leave by Sher Khan

 

[Nado_]

Sohail khan playing like michael atherton!!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Do you think at some point Misbah has a declaration in mind ?

 

[Archer]

Lyon into the attack, time for some quick runs by Sohail

 

[QalandarFan]

Lyon On!

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Do you think at some point Misbah has a declaration in mind ?

Yes.... Never until we gets all out. Then Yes..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to attack now.

 

[Archer]

Lyon bowling well, Azhar missed two sweeps already

 

[fast1975]

no need for azhar to take unnecessary risks and lose his wicket. stay there man and come NOT OUT

 

[On_the_up]

Why on earth SK blocking so many? Time to launch a few, he has had the deliveries to hit too.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Why on earth SK blocking so many? Time to launch a few, he has had the deliveries to hit too.

He is learning and on his way to be our next Imran khan...

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Amir and Sohail better than Pakistan top order.
