[Justcrazy]

Tea

84 / 1

 

[mussu-100]

Its true what they say, there is really no benefit for our batsmen to score against weaker teams. If they don't score, they suck. If they do score, they are labeled minnow-bashers.

It's a lose-lose.

Fantastic fifty from Hafeez!

 

[Hawkeye]

Not sure Hafeez's minnow bashing is good or bad for us in the long term?

For this match though, we badly need it. Please Hafeez go at 100 SR

Hafeez is a must if we're playing Tests in Asia against sub-par bowling attacks which have no swing bowlers.

He'll be a beast, and will not only score big but also at a good pace. Can challenge Bradman in such conditions.

However, if there's even one swing bowler in the opposition, be it in Asia or overseas, playing Hafeez is suicide.

Hafeez batting average in Bangladesh 85

 

[Justcrazy]

32 overs left , Pakistan need to be 200 by stumps today

 

[Shafi]

According to BD commentator their players threw their wickets away

 

[MSaad1237]

This Bangladeshi commentator is very annoying lol.

 

[Justcrazy]

hafeez gets lifeline by playing against minnows

 

[The_KING]

Shakib put away for another by Hafeez

 

[TheNightWatchman]

According to BD commentator their players threw their wickets away

Because ofcourse Pakistan bowlers aren't good enough to get the legendary Bangladesh batsmen out.

 

[JaDed]

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good batting by hafeez. Shabash.

 

[JibranAnsari]

100 in 28 overs. Dont remember when was the last time this happened for pakistan in the first innings.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another 100 runs in this last session with 1 wicket down would make it a great day for us, wicket is flat and will be best for batting over next 2 days so we should be aiming for 500 here in 1st inns!

 

[The_KING]

Hafeez needs to relax

 

[Statsman]

I see that the Hafeez bashers have gone missing.

 

[Justcrazy]

up

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Rubel reversing it. Cmon Hafeez. You got to maintain that Bradman average

 

[Hawkeye]

I see that the Hafeez bashers have gone missing.

No one can bash Hafeez for bashing bowlers on flat highways (when there's no movement). He's a Bradman there.

But now the ball is reversing a bit, and he's having trouble facing Rubel!

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Rubel has test avrg(b) of 74+? Surprising

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 58 runs so far

 

[junaid.ahmed]

only 1 maiden till 30 overs

 

[Moe]

Shaba shaba Hafeez, Just 330 more to go

 

[Justcrazy]

Rubel bowling in Test is not that good.

 

[Justcrazy]

26 overs left in the day

 

[Anchorman]

Rubel bowling in Test is not that good.

I've actually been pleasantly surprised by his bowling in Tests. Reversing it quite a bit and is not as wayward as he was earlier on in his career, can consistently bowl above 86 mph so that's a plus.

 

[Anchorman]

We need to show this crowd that we still own them when it comes to the real format of the game.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Time to keep grinding the opposition into Dust.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad: "Bangladesh were 66/1 in 33 overs, Pakistan have almost doubled it..... good going"

 

[The_KING]

Dropped

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Azhar is such a bakwas batsmen. gets another life from Mushy

 

[Adeel Naseem]

2 drops so far from bangls needs 3 more to eqall pak

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Shahid's hairline is so impressive

 

[Justcrazy]

Catch missed !!!

 

[Anchorman]

Hafeez needs to score a daddy hundred.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another life for AAA, he needs to make them pay with a big hundred here!

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Azhar test rr is 39 more than half of zaheer abbass

 

[Abdullah]

Come on boys- make them PAY!!

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Azhar need three more chances to get ton because he needs 300+ balls to get 100

 

[junaid.ahmed]

shagufta hom is just

 

[MSaad1237]

Azhar Ali is WORSE than Misbah when it comes to Tuk tuk, and he's been made our ODI Captain... Disgusting..

 

[The_KING]

Azhar Ali is WORSE than Misbah when it comes to Tuk tuk, and he's been made our ODI Captain... Disgusting..

Did you not watch the ODI series? His strike rate was fine there. This is test cricket so no need for him to play all aggressively when there is plenty of time left.

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Azhar rr was about 90 in odi series

 

[junaid.ahmed]

mushfiq paid the price for his false catch

02 drops & a injury

 

[MarkCooper]

good run rate

 

[junaid.ahmed]

good thing about hafeez's inning is he mostly depend on singles & doubles

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

whats the cut off time today, will they complaete 90 overs today.

 

[The_KING]

I must say that Bangladesh's ground fielding is quite good.

 

[Adeel Naseem]

And azhar mostly depends on dots junaid.ahmed

 

[The_KING]

Hafeez into nervous 90s. IA he will make a big century.

 

[world cup captain]

[MENTION=136446]Mainul[/MENTION]. Look at the run rate.

 

[The_KING]

Hafeez very impressive with both bat and bowl so far.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Azhar Ali sucks. !!!!

Azhar Ali is WORSE than Misbah when it comes to Tuk tuk, and he's been made our ODI Captain... Disgusting..

It's Test cricket lol. Learn to appreciate it or don't watch it. Senseless bashing doesn't benefit anyone. When it mattered, he was scoring at a strike rate of 90 in ODIs..you have to appreciate a batsman who bats according to the format and the scenario at hand 2

 

[Canistani Hero]

Whay bagla is allowing too much singles they should stop it and put pressure on pk

Two set batsmen now..they are just hoping for a mistake

 

[uberkoen]

Brilliant little knock by Hafeez.

I thought his minnow bashing days were over after that ODI performance but he's back in form!

 

[BigBoy123]

Why no Free hit in Test Crkt

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Azhar strike rate decreasing as the time progresssess

 

[shaaik]

Only if hafeez cd bat at number 6-7 in one dayers, a lot of your problems wd be solved.

 

[Zeshan547]

You have to admire azhar's ability to hit 6 out of 6 balls straight to the fielder, amazing skill

 

[The_KING]

from Hafeez

 

[Amjid Javed]

AA needs to pick up his scoring rate otherwise we are doing well...

151/1

 

[The_KING]

 

[TheNightWatchman]

300 more to go Hafeez

 

[shaaik]

Azhar Ali is WORSE than Misbah when it comes to Tuk tuk, and he's been made our ODI Captain... Disgusting..

This very mentality has a lot to do with the kind of shambles our cricket is in these days...

 

[MarkCooper]

Hurry up and score some runs. Geoffrey Boycott's mum could score against these bowlers with a stick of rhubarb for a bat.

 

[The_KING]

Confidence in Hafeez's batting returning now that he can bowl

 

[The_KING]

I'm very pleased for Hafeez. I'm his fan now.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

excellent 3 100 in a row

 

[shaaik]

excellent 3 100 in a row

Is this hafeez's 3rd hundred in a row ???? Or against bd

 

[srh]

Azhar needs to hurry up. He can bat faster than this easily.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well played Hafeez, 3rd Hundred in a row! finally starting to perform in tests.

160/1

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

whats the cut off time today, will they complaete 90 overs today.

 

[Amjid Javed]

No need for Azhar to bat this slow, conditions are so easy for batting and scoring right now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan should be aiming to be 210-220 runs at close of play.

 

[The_KING]

Is this hafeez's 3rd hundred in a row ???? Or against bd

3rd in 4 tests.

 

[shaaik]

3rd in 4 tests.

Did he score a century against aussies or only against kiwis last year?

 

[The_KING]

Did he score a century against aussies or only against kiwis last year?

Only against the kiwis.
