Babar Azam hits 102* as Pakistan fight back to reach 192/2 at Stumps on Day 4 in the 2nd Test

Can someone tell me
Was The drop catch by Smith was easy ? Or was it touch/go difficult.
 
Pakistan need to keep both options open for themselves. Play positively and score freely to keep target in the their sights. With that aussies wll be under pressure aswell. Rather than just block and play slow
 
I am praying for Pak to pull off a win like Gabba. I want to see exciting day of test cricket tomorrow. Love from India.
 
This is good batting. These two can continue to play positive and if remaining batsmen do the same, any result is possible.

Smith must be ruing for dropping Shafique in slip. 😄
 
Imam and Azhar the two expected cowards are out

All 11 in this side can bat btw
 
16 overs till new ball..
18 overs are remaining in a day...
108 overs are remaining in a match...
 
Good fight showsn by Azam and Shafique. This will surely give encouragement to middle and lower order that if you apply yourself, you can stay at the crease and prosper.
 
So the whole purpose of the Tapaal Tea lounge is to show of the elite/liberals of Pakistan?
 
This is why i havent been over critical of nauman and sajid. They are playing on dead pitches. Bowlers need pace in the surface
 
The dug up foot marks could play divdend now qith ball reacting indifferently. I see a wicket coming up soon.
 
Aleem Dar has truly become an awful umpire. No way is that negative bowling to be given as a wide. I think aleem dar has this habit of trying to be the center of attention as an umpire.

Anybody who wears a t shirt and jeans doesn't automatically become elite/ liberal.
 
Right guys this is bad....both Shafique and Babz are struggling legside bowling...we just find silly things to get out. They must be sensible. surely just cover the stumps and kick
 
Nah nah nah, stop it now. A concussion test after being hit by a spinner? Cricket is becoming a joke now, a bit like football.
 
Nathan Lyon with all his wickets and experiwnce has always been a nothing bowler against Pakistan.
 
10 more overs to get through today. These 2 need to stay in.

They are, but Babar in particularly looking to score from these deliveries.

I really hope these survive this negativ leg side bowling

CTE is a very real thing, a lot of which is still being discovered. It was brought into attention only in 21st century. It's better to live a healthy life than suffering from dementia in 40s.
 
Maybe because most of thosepeople cannot write English. Those gusts are expected to write some comments to display.

So let them write in Urdu?

Basically the tapal tea advertising is a campaign to make Pakistan look more liberal than it is perceived to be?
 
The key should be to keep Australia on the field for as long as possible regardless of the result. Just to tire them out like SA did in 2012 2nd test. Aus had to change all 3 pacers in the subsequent test due to the toil it took on their pacers.
 
Abdullah seems a decent player nothing spectacular but much better than imam and company.
He should be persisted with and should be given a long rope.
 
All 3 results are possible here.

Brilliant Test match so far.

I am surprised Australia declared at 97/2. I thought they would bat longer.

Pakistan not win this - We do not have Pant and pitch is slow AUS win and draw.
 
would give Imam more chances.. Azhar and Fawad would be good riddance..

I think with the form Shan Masood should be prefered over Azhar to bat at no.3

Shan is not a test number 3, we need saud and ghulam in our team now.
 
These 2 have just got to keep focus until the very last ball of the day. They have batted tremendously, do not throw it away now.
 
Swepson is annoying as hell. Lad thinks of himself as the second coming of Warne, and oo-ing aah-ing every single delivery.

Has bowled rubbish so far, and acting like an absolute shodaybaaz.
 
Good century. He needs to make it count.

Babar looks way more comfortable playing his natural game rather than when he's trying to bat like Chanderpaul
 
Having Azhar Ali play at No.3 really kills the flow of Pakistan batting. I am not a fan of him being in the side but if he must play, Babar needs to step up and play at No.3.
 
What a ball from Cummins... no idea how Babar kept that out
