[Big Mac]

Babar out. It's all over boys

We still get to see youngsta beauty Naseem bat

 

[HGhazanfar]

Game Over

 

[Green Patriot]

Babar gone.
It will be over today.

 

[MMHS]

Concentration is the biggest issue for Babar for which he has only one FC double, that too scared like 5 years back. His focus is to reach hundred like ODI, which he is very good at. Today, could have been 150+ by the time Aussies got second ball.

 

[Captain caveman]

Game over!

Babar did not have to play that delivery, it was missing the stumps and there was no run from the shot he played. This is where you can tie babar up by blocking his off side drives.

 

[lifecric7]

Yes yes Lyon you beauty... see that where Dravid vvs et all we’re special. They did it twice against great Australian attack. This boy is good but timid.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Babar should be disappointed. Lapse in concentration.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar perishes.

 

[JaDed]

Yes yes Lyon you beauty... see that where Dravid vvs et all we’re special. They did it twice against great Australian attack. This boy is good but timid.

You seem to be too bothered, either you are trying to troll or unjinx him. Concentration can be improved as he moves forward, this is a well deserved ton.

 

[lifecric7]

Australian sledging again got to Babar. They made fun of his high pitch voice. He’s gotta learn to handle that

 

[Mean&Green]

Lol you’re so full of hatred for him you want him to get out look at the joy in your comment

 

[Captain caveman]

Thanks babar for bringing back some respectability to our batting in this test

 

[Ahmed216]

Very sensible

 

[lifecric7]

I don’t consider him to be that good.my personal opinion and anyone can disagree.thats fine by me.

 

[Mean&Green]

What kind of stupid troll are you babar doesn’t even understand a word of English if he wouldn’t let sledging get to him he wouldn’t even be scoring any runs at all. I think babars gotten to your head more than anyone else

 

[Captain caveman]

Now rizi its your turn to score a century

 

[lifecric7]

Lol you’re so full of hatred for him you want him to get out look at the joy in your comment

I am supporting Australia in this game of course I am joyful to see his back

 

[Indiafan]

Yes yes Lyon you beauty... see that where Dravid vvs et all we’re special. They did it twice against great Australian attack. This boy is good but timid.

Which of them did it at 25?

 

[Captain caveman]

Now rizi its your turn to score a century

After rizi, it will be your turn yasir to score a century!

 

[angrypathan]

We still get to see youngsta beauty Naseem bat

Might even get to witness the great historical moment of Imran Khan reaching yet another top score

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Rizwan get his hundred here

 

[sharmaji]

Well played Babar. He is a star.

 

[Boiz Played Well]

What kind of stupid troll are you babar doesn’t even understand a word of English if he wouldn’t let sledging get to him he wouldn’t even be scoring any runs at all. I think babars gotten to your head more than anyone else

Tbh not being able to speak English well doesn't equate to not understanding it. He understands perfectly what they're on about. And that high-pitch voice mimicry in the first innings did perhaps draw that unnecessarily aggressive shot.

But all the faith in him for this not to be an issue.

 

[lifecric7]

Dravid scored plenty of centuries in test matches before 25. Including epic knocks in South Africa and England. Even on debut he scored 96 something. Dravid is very very high in class as compared to Babar.

 

[MMHS]

Rizwan is the most impressive player in this Test for PAK. Agreed he batted both innings against old ball, but this innings he is batting after keeping for 160+ overs and coming at 94/5, facing innings defeat. I hope, bhakth brigade won’t come back hunt me next time when he fails.

 

[Captain caveman]

I am supporting Australia in this game of course I am joyful to see his back

Enjoy, i would be doing the same if it was india.
You should always support the team playing against your nemesis

 

[Big Mac]

Might even get to witness the great historical moment of Imran Khan reaching yet another top score

Time for Imran to become a world class all rounder today

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Super impressed with Rizwan's batting and the number of good catches he took in this match. He looks athletic as well. The way he conducts himself on the field is very professional too. Can't believe how Pakistan persisted with mediocre Sarfaraz for so many years.

 

[Shafi]

Misbah should leave Pakistan cricket along with buddies Azhar, Shafiq, imran K, Iftikhar.
There is no hope for Pakistan cricket under him

 

[Shafi]

Feel really sorry for Rizwan. He should be play test at least 3 years ago.

 

[Captain caveman]

Misbah should leave Pakistan cricket along with buddies Azhar, Shafiq, imran K, Iftikhar.
There is no hope for Pakistan cricket under him

We need your namesake, he is still our best bat in test.

 

[JaDed]

I don’t consider him to be that good.my personal opinion and anyone can disagree.thats fine by me.

Yes but every post you expressing the same opinion will not change anyone else's opinion..

 

[Shafi]

Where is Misbah's die hard fan Major now-a-days?

 

[MMHS]

Dravid scored plenty of centuries in test matches before 25. Including epic knocks in South Africa and England. Even on debut he scored 96 something. Dravid is very very high in class as compared to Babar.

I believe, he debuted in 1996, aged 24 years and 6 months, and after that went to score his first ton at J’burg in 1997, right at the stroke of 25th birthday; 148 I believe. His first tour in Australia was at 27+, almost 28 in 1999, and it was a disaster. Great, great batsman, but I guess you should check some stats first before pulling leg

 

[Shafi]

who?

Turns out boss had a point

 

[angrypathan]

Where is Misbah's die hard fan Major now-a-days?

Who cares? Glad he's gone

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Laxman scored 167 in Australia when he was 25 and Dravid 148 in SA at 24.

 

[MMHS]

Rizwan should try to bat as aggressively as possible for next 12 overs - if he gets out, so it be but must try to reduce gap quickly before second ball. In Australia, scoring rate against old ball is the key.

 

[Indiafan]

Dravid scored plenty of centuries in test matches before 25. Including epic knocks in South Africa and England. Even on debut he scored 96 something. Dravid is very very high in class as compared to Babar.

Dravid scored exactly 1 100 by 25 years. Babar has 2. Dravid also got out in the 90s 3 times by that time so according to your logic he had no concentration and never would be a great

I have seen enough of Babar to know he will be one of the greats of this generation

 

[angrypathan]

Managing to not lose by an innings would be a nice aim to have for now

 

[andy0204]

Who cares? Glad he's gone

He's there but he's not login it.

 

[Shafi]

Most of Misbah's fans are missing on match day.

 

[angrypathan]

Thanks Starc

 

[Indiafan]

Laxman scored 167 in Australia when he was 25 and Dravid 148 in SA at 24.

And? So both had 1 100 by then overseas? Same as Azam

 

[angrypathan]

Iftikhar has been the biggest passenger in this game. Least amount of runs and didn't pick up any wickets either

 

[Big Mac]

Warne saying Sarfraz should come back and be captain/keeper.

This is why I've been telling you guys for years to ignore everything he says

If Misbah is picked by Imran k how he can be removed earlier than the contract?

 

[Ahmed216]

Really impressed by Rizwan.
He seems to have a plan and method to handle these excellent bowlers
Another player i think is capable of fighting is Imam. He must ahead of Haris who always looks lost

 

[HGhazanfar]

Australia should develop Handscomb as their wicket keeper option for tests and Carey for limited overs. Handscomb is good enough to play as a batsmen in limited overs aswell.

 

[Shafi]

Iftikhar has been the biggest passenger in this game. Least amount of runs and didn't pick up any wickets either

He is the buddy of Misbah,

 

[angrypathan]

Laxman scored 167 in Australia when he was 25 and Dravid 148 in SA at 24.

The whole hype around Babar is currently centred around his brilliant white ball record. At the moment he's just seen as someone who has great potential in test cricket. Over the last year and a bit he seems to be making strides towards fulfilling that potential. 2 centuries and averaging 50+

 

[MMHS]

Turns out boss had a point

Boss had lots of points, some of them are genuinely good... but few are really all-round failure.

 

[Shafi]

8 more needed for Rizwan for highest wicket keeper batting individual innings in Australia

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And? So both had 1 100 by then overseas? Same as Azam

And nothing. I was just verifying the ages at which they scored tons in Australia/SA.

Babar is worth the hype. Most attractive strokeplay since the retirement of AB. His timing is out of the world. Should have made this a big one though.

 

[angrypathan]

Incredible shot by Riz

 

[HGhazanfar]

Shut up call to all those Sarfraz supporters

 

[shah_1]

Babar Azam is class

But extremely dissapointed by him getting out cheaply. He could have easily scored 150 here

 

[Captain caveman]

who?

Asad SHAFIq

 

[angrypathan]

When was the last time a keeper scored 200?

Mushfiqur Rahim against Sri Lanka?

Edit: Mushfiqur Rahim against Zimbabwe just a year ago I think actually. Didn't think he was keeping in that game but he was

 

[Captain caveman]

104 is cheap against these aussie bowlers in the gabba

 

[160KPH]

When was the last time a keeper scored 200?

Mushfiqur Rahim against Sri Lanka?

About 5 minutes ago in the New Zealand vs England match lol

 

[dildilpak]

Classy player & a good innings against a quality bowling attack. Hopefully a match- defining knock is coming soon from him.

 

[HGhazanfar]

Really hoping Rizwan gets 150, but issue is he doesnt have much support

 

[Nikhil_cric]

When was the last time a keeper scored 200?

Mushfiqur Rahim against Sri Lanka?

This morning. BJ Watling 200

 

[MMHS]

Not sure where you are coming from, but if indeed Misbah is picked by PM Khan, then he’ll be first man to sack (remove) Misbah, if he fails to deliver. That little integrity & honesty you can expect from Imran Khan (Niazi), which sadly I cant say about most people around PAK cricket.

Personally, I think PAK PM has few other small matters to looks after before micro managing PCB and he is the guy stopped playing Quaid e Azam style since 1979 because it wasn’t helping his development (must say, it didn’t cost him much), and dropped his mentor, senior cousin as his first act being PAK captain, therefore don’t think he is that desperate to appoint a Deshi great at coach, neither to favour someone he thinks own people.

 

[angrypathan]

About 5 minutes ago in the New Zealand vs England match lol

This morning. BJ Watling 200

Oh Last I checked was yesterday when he was on 100 and something

 

[Captain caveman]

Shut up call to all those Sarfraz supporters

Rizwan is set but safraz as captain would have been better than azhar as captain and we would be infront rather than still behind

 

[MMHS]

When was the last time a keeper scored 200?

Mushfiqur Rahim against Sri Lanka?

Edit: Mushfiqur Rahim against Zimbabwe just a year ago I think actually. Didn't think he was keeping in that game but he was

Never seen something going so wrong in my PP life .....

Mushi has two doubles as WK (while keeping in a Test)

 

[rollingstoned]

Boss had lots of points, some of them are genuinely good... but few are really all-round failure.

I see what you did there .

 

[Justcrazy]

Slow steady partnership developing here

 

[angrypathan]

Never seen something going so wrong in my PP life .....

Wasn't particularly serious boss

Hadn't checked the New Zealand score since yesterday

 

[angrypathan]

Interesting sweep Yasir

 

[JaDed]

Warne saying Sarfraz should come back and be captain/keeper.

This is why I've been telling you guys for years to ignore everything he says

He was a good player and captain but my god most Aussies gave the weirdest advices esp for Desi teams.

 

[MMHS]

Yasir has scored 38 in this Test so far, being dismissed once, which makes his average 38 and he has 4 wickets also - matching Shadab’s J’burg heroics?

 

[angrypathan]

Tea. Rizwan needs to get as many as possible before the new ball, and then shield Yasir from the new ball for the first 5 overs

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Maiden yasir shah 50?

 

[JaDed]

This morning. BJ Watling 200

That guy is so underrated coz of the team he plays for and Williamson overshadowing him as well.

 

[MMHS]

Wasn't particularly serious boss

Hadn't checked the New Zealand score since yesterday

I can see that. Even Gilly have only one, which suggests it’s not that easy. Rizwan is extremely fit, and if PAK keeps Ruhail in the squad going forward, his waste line & keeping won’t go flat.
