[Obeid]

Supposed to be an early start once again, but we know how that's been going in this test match

Match is "supposed" to start in 13 minutes.

 

[Obeid]

Weather.com says it should be sunny, so who knows !

 

[prepare]

Who knows?

 

[Square Drive]

When is it gonna start? Is the weather Elias 'Sunny', or Elias 'Rainy'?

 

[Obeid]

Cricinfos got nothing, so idk

 

[MVP26]

Pakistan batsman have to score runs at a quicker pace or match will be drawn.

 

[Square Drive]

Match delayed - fog - Day 4: By cricinfo.

9.00am: Good morning everyone and welcome to the coverage of the fourth day. We've just heard that there will be an inspection at 9.30. No miraculous change of weather I'm afraid. That's all we have so far.

[Square Drive]

Hope game starts at least in 15 minutes.

 

[adnans0324]

oof, fog ne bara tang kiya hai.

 

[MVP26]

looks like match heading for a draw

 

[asif9138]

oh man again fog is stopping the play...can not complain about weather

 

[Square Drive]

9.20: Still a bit gloomy but the covers are coming off. Isam says that play may well start at 9.30. That's not too far away.

Good news!!

 

[asif9138]

any news about weather yet guys??

 

[Square Drive]

any news about weather yet guys??

Yes, match is starting in 2 minutes!!

 

[asif9138]

thanks!! good

 

[Square Drive]

Match is starting! Hoping for a good RR!

 

[Square Drive]

thanks!! good

No problem bhai jaan!

 

[Square Drive]

Appeal on the first ball, not out.

 

[MVP26]

they should look to go at atleast 4 runrate

 

[KingKhanWC]

Weather looking a lot better today. Pakistan looking to bat the day out and put a lead of around 270 to declare early on day 5.

 

[Square Drive]

Only 1 off the first over... :/

 

[KingKhanWC]

Elias Sunny done the damage early on. YK departs quickly.

 

[Square Drive]

!! YK gone

 

[chaiwala]

 

[prepare]

Oh well Asad Shafiq and Misbah will now consolidate all morning!

 

[cricfan4ever]

big blow to lose early...now the tuk tuk brigade will be out

 

[KingKhanWC]

Younis wasn't awake, had fog in his eyes. A poor defence shot to an average ball. Meanwhile Misbah is getting his eye...s in.

 

[GOAT]

where are the runs?!

 

[cricfan4ever]

can someone for once please counter attack

 

[KingKhanWC]

where are the runs?!

We don't need runs, we're playing for the draw.

 

[Square Drive]

Good thing looking to attack.

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

that last ball shud have been hit for four

 

[Justcrazy]

Three tuk tuk in one team :asad its just pathetic by the way Pakistan play Bd

 

[Justcrazy]

I wonder why Pakistan wants to play teams like SA / England etc, they should play only zim / BD to boost there averages.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad still on 0 after 14 balls, what a confident batsman he is.....

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Asad 0 from 15 balls, Lets just forget about winning this test match. Just check the scoreboard at the end of day 5.

 

[GOAT]

We don't need runs, we're playing for the draw.

This may be a plausible and actually - the most likely - scenario.

I'm off then. I'm going to play Skyrim till my eyes hurt and our score is 320-4 after 140 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah is simply bothered about pushing his average towards 50

 

[pakistanbest]

Shafiq looks one terrible batsman, know he scored a century but he does not instill any confidence and could well be an easy wicket for england, this team is made up full of tempremental players which all good and well but the rotation of strike is a major point in any form of cricket and is missing in this current line up

We need to counter attack but Tuk Tuk is what is hapening

 

[Justcrazy]

Just imagine a Kohli / Rohit sharma here, would they have been on 0 after 15 balls, that too against BD

 

[KingKhanWC]

1 off it. Credit to Bangladesh they have come out wanting to make a game of it. Attacking field for spinner and defensive for the seamer, trying to keep it tight. The lower order aren't the best players of spin and they know it. Shafiq looking solid but still on 0.

 

[Square Drive]

Muhammad asks: "Is it a bad thing that I'm hoping Misbah and Asad get out simply because watching the tailenders bat and seeing the bowlers bowl is far more exciting."

True.

 

[Justcrazy]

I just do not see Pakistan competing against better teams with such selfish players in the midle.

 

[Justcrazy]

shafiq 0 from 18 balls, well played. This guy is pathetic, just cannot bat at international level.

 

[pakistanbest]

Seriously if we carry on seeing this negativity then the future is bleak, Misbah and the management are by far the defebsive team we have seen even more defensive then Inzy and Malik

 

[pakistanbest]

Misbah finally scores a four, push on the pedal guys!!

 

[Square Drive]

:4 by tuk tuk.

 

[Justcrazy]

The team was already full of selfish players and now, Mohsin would continue as a coach, since August Waqar was out, they could not find a coach..... PCB should be awarded for this. What a lazy and idiotic approach.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad 0 from 18 balls ( 3 overs)

 

[pakistanbest]

Another 4 and the 300 is up

 

[Love Pakistan]

Another :4

 

[KingKhanWC]

nice drive by Misbah, 4 more.

Pakistan are on top but you can't expect Bangladesh to crumble every time, they will give a good go. Good test match cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 from

 

[Square Drive]

Another :4 by tuk tuk!! Counter-attack starting Alhamdullillah...

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 35 runs now

 

[Love Pakistan]

Asad 0 from 18 balls ( 3 overs)

or banayy gey bhai saab Moyo!

 

[musama]

Asad is so selfish.....

 

[pakistanbest]

Misbah looking quite agressive, Shafiq is looking terrible

 

[Legend Killer]

Asad Shafiq really needs to get a move on, this is ridiculous

 

[Legend Killer]

Shafiq scores a run!

 

[musama]

y do asad always play the way that he is not going to play next match !!!!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shafiq off the mark

 

[Justcrazy]

asad 1 from 21 balls

 

[Square Drive]

Asad off the mark *claps sarcastically*.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

y do asad always play the way that he is not going to play next match !!!!

Because he knows :umarakmal is a much better entertainer and some fans prefer him over

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not understand how do layers like asad get to play International cricket? Is there absolutely no more talent in a cricket loving country like pakistan.

 

[Legend Killer]

Cut away for four by Asad Shafiq

 

[Legend Killer]

another by Shafiq

 

[Square Drive]

asad 1 from 21 balls

2 boundaries from Asad. Happy??

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

heard us and now bashing the life out of Shahadat

 

[Justcrazy]

:asad looks annoyed and frustrated, and he has mashed 2 :4

 

[Justcrazy]

2 boundaries from Asad. Happy??

No not happy, this fellow either blocks or hits out in frustration. He needs to be rotating strike, that's what a middle order batsman is supposed to do.
