Well congrats to ppers on drawing this match.

 

[Abdul]

After the drubbings which Pakistan have received in Australia previously, I would even take 1-0 at the end of this series.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

exactly 50 overs left with two set players and 8 wickets to go.
(for any other test team) THE MATCH IS DRAWN

Well congrats to ppers on drawing this match.

We dont even need jinxes right now. We can collapse without them. Thanks

Well congrats to ppers on drawing this match.

What have we ever done to you STOP JINXING PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the love of, I'll stop trolling you lot if you can just let us have a draw in Peace in AUSTRALIA after nearly 2 decades mate !!

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen should cash on this pitch here.

 

[Rayyman]

Aaja Misbah bhai.

I am fully aware of that ( edgaston draw would have won us the series and we were 90 for 1).............

 

[Saeed]

7 batsmen left.

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis again is out to a spinner , he should not be allowed to get to 10 K runs

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Here come the collapse. effectively 4 down. Misbah is a passenger

 

[FlickedOffHips]

NICE GARRRY. YK average dropping below Dravid any day...the world is fair after all.

 

[Buffet]

Younis again is out to a spinner , he should not be allowed to get to 10 K runs

He should be dropped now. Getting out to Lyon on this kind of pitch....

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan need to promote sohail khan here

 

[Abdul]

The greatest legend to step on the cricket field departs.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Khuda ka wasta hay Send Sarfaraz, if he smacks a quick fire 50, we're will crawl this eventually !!

 

[Syed1]

Khatum match

 

[Justcrazy]

He should be dropped now. Getting out to Lyon on this kind of pitch....

Yes , no doubt .

One should not be allowed to play for personal goals.

 

[Rayyman]

NICE GARRRY. YK average dropping below Dravid any day...the world is fair after all.

More trolling for the world to see.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

pakistan need to promote sohail khan here

that would mean a thinking cpatain or management , we lack both of those so Misbah walks in

 

[Syed1]

End mein Azhar aur Asad ne hi bachana par jana hai

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What the actual hell

 

[Rayyman]

Abhe yaar!!!!!!!!

 

[Abdullah719]

Time to retire.

 

[Abdul]

Asad should've come ahead of Misbah. This is starting to frustrate me now.

Seems like we're trying to lose the match on purpose.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

More trolling for the world to see.

Misbah just trolled everybody.

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah goes for duck

 

[Saeed]

Lol 4th down.

 

[Buffet]

Wow, What a shot to play by Misbah here. I can't believe it. Playing first two shots like this.

 

[Romali_rotti]

This is Pathetic from Pakistan, poor stuff, they should have no problems drawing this match but seems all hell bent on losing at all COST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

[Rayyman]

Aaja Shafiq bhai

 

[Justcrazy]

Is Mickey Arthur responsible for this ?

 

[Syed1]

Misbah please retire right now, trust me we won't miss you. We will play better without a useless captain like Misbah.

 

[Abdul]

Misbah should just retire now.

Have supported him for so long but he's done now. Time to face the realities.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

what the.... was that

 

[Saeed]

Pathetic batting, we deserve to lose this.

 

[Buffet]

Is Mickey Arthur responsible for this ?

He couldn't have told Misbah to play such shots immediately after coming when Misbah needed to save the match.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lyon may get a 5 fer here

 

[Rayyman]

Misbah should just retire now.

Have supported him for so long but he's done now. Time to face the realities.

Guys one more match yet. He might troll us all with his maiden double century.

 

[Justcrazy]

48 overs still left , Pakistan in big trouble now.

 

[qaiser]

Feel sad for Misbah
Had every opportunity to retire gracefully but .....

 

[Solid Snake]

Misbah lost faith in himself...

All his career he's been willing to graft it out in the middle, but just feel he has no confidence in his own batting now. Trying to hit out from the word go.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

PP will be active over the next few days

 

[castortroy]

This was so predictable from yesterday

 

[Sin Nombre]

Right. So that's one, not hundred.

Other posts were simply mentioning how often he beat the edge, which was factual.

If we are going to be pedantic, my initial post was about Azhar's edge count which was sarcastic but factual.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What have we ever done to you STOP JINXING PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the love of, I'll stop trolling you lot if you can just let us have a draw in Peace in AUSTRALIA after nearly 2 decades mate !!

Don't worry brother. Azhar and Asad are better than the likes of Kohli after all. If Kohlis India coud manage two draws in OZ, Azhar and Asad can certainly draw this match. Pakistan won't lose 6 wickets in 48 overs. Have faith!

 

[Abdul]

Azhar and Asad have to save this for us now.

 

[Robinson Shrestha]

2 mins of silence who thought this was goin to be a draw..Pakistan with usual collapse...totally frustratted being a pakistani fan..same script everytime...

 

[castortroy]

This is new zeland all over again. Losing a test match in 3 and half days

 

[Syed1]

In dono se hi ummeed hai

 

[Rayyman]

Misbah lost faith in himself...

All his career he's been willing to graft it out in the middle, but just feel he has no confidence in his own batting now. Trying to hit out from the word go.

Didn't someone else do that in a recent series?

 

[jog_1]

These two are the last hope now for a draw.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Hope Sarfraz a gritty Miandad type knock here

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Crap

 

[Syed1]

Hope Sarfraz a gritty Miandad type knock here

I hope Sarfaraz doesn't have to come in

 

[qaiser]

8 overs per wicket unlikely Pakistan could save
Rain is the more realistic hope

 

[syd_pak]

how can a Captain - leader of 180 million, play like this?

No excuses - you must go

 

[Buffet]

Hope Sarfraz a gritty Miandad type knock here

These two just need to play normal cricket. YK and Misbah got out playing poorly.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

I hope Sarfaraz doesn't have to come in

we both know thats not gonna happen

 

[Rayyman]

8 overs per wicket unlikely Pakistan could save
Rain is the more realistic hope

Someone check the forecast.

 

[Syed1]

Na man Misbah took us to the number one position we should be indebted to him for life and he should be allowed to play till the official retirement age of 65

 

[Abdullah719]

SK agrees.

 

[Abdul]

Time to go back to the UAE and invite these Australians then humiliate them.

 

[Rayyman]

Bye bye Birdy here is Mitch.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sohail khan would have been better here , he could have attacked a bit

 

[transitional]

Before november, only twice a team had lost a match after making 400+ in first innings in the history of cricket.

It happened twice in India-England series.

It will be astonishing if it happens again so quickly.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Can we all sacrifice a Kaala Bakra now ??
[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] [MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION]

 

[marlonbrowndo]

These 2 are in good form. The partnership won't break till at least 20 more overs and we will draw it. No need to worry. Misbah and You is should retire now

 

[imshally81]

Misbah should retire now

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah and younis need to be sacked , enough is enough.

 

[Cricket World]

Winning and losing is part of game but when we don't use common sense and keep sending out form batsman ahead of form batsman in pressure situation to create more pressure and in the process give sniff to opposition does not make any sense.

Now Lyon with tail up can suddenly look different proposition.

Repeat of Sydney when nothing bowler did the damage.

Aaram se beta!

 

[syd_pak]

How can this team play well when the 2 "Senior Players" have no clue?

 

[Syed1]

I wouldn't mind a mid tour sacking of Misbah and Younis.

I'm even willing to take the karvi goli and accept Azhar as captain. Who knows he might even do a better job than useless Misbah.

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

It will be astonishing if it happens again so quickly.

Only twice team has lost by innings after making 400 first before November not overall.

 

[Cricket World]

Agreed, at least we will play with eleven

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I'm even willing to take the karvi goli and accept Azhar as captain. Who knows he might even do a better job than useless Misbah.

Now do you agree that Azhar is quite easily the best Test batsman in the country. He's played some really good knocks under pressure in this series. Needs to save us here again

 

[Rayyman]

Who knows? Maybe Misbah will pull a Dhoni. YK sure in hell won't retire.

 

[imshally81]

Only 45 overs to go...
