200 up for Azhar ali

 

[Bullet Drive]

94 more. Please Azhar don't throw it away. Make this a triple!!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar's average nearing 45.

Why so underrated??

 

[zains_rulez]

Our ODI captain making 200+.....Awesome

 

[Bilal7]

Congrats Azhar, you done good, MashAllah.

 

[shaaik]

Azhar Ali you beauty...

 

[axl100mph]

has to be one of the most tiresome 200's ever. Ab to out hojaa bhai

 

[Shafi]

There is nothing in the pitch!! Azhar should look forward to score 400+ to give message to ICC against flat deck. This match will be draw anyway

 

[Mamoon]

He made a good argument of Ronaldo walking into any team and being world-class. Messi has yet to prove that he can effectively fit into the Chelsea style of play or the one employed by Stoke City.

It definitely is a debate and they are quite close.

That's the sign of great players, they can adapt. Anyone who think Messi will not succeed in the Premier League and adapt to teams here is simply kidding himself, and any attacking player will be restricted in anti- football teams like Chelsea and Stoke City.

Look at Hazard, superb player, but he is clearly being restricted by Chelsea. He will show his true worth when he goes to Madrid in the future, but the fact that he is already doing so well is testament to his talents.

You can knock off a few goals from Messi and Ronaldo in Chelsea or Stoke City, but that doesn't prove anything. They will be a level above everyone no matter where they play and Ronaldo runs him close, but he's no Messi.

Anyhow, let's not go off-topic further.

 

[Bilal7]

Come on boys, time for some quick runs now.

 

[Mamoon]

Congrats to Azhar, first of many InshAllah.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Drinks.


Keep batting and making this pitch get worse for batting. Should aim to bat only once.

 

[Shafi]

Why, do you want to see Tamim and Kayes to score double? I would rather see Azhar & Shafiq score as much as possible.

 

[Asif321]

congrats to Azhar

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar has always been class.

 

[Bilal7]

These two are finally playing for the team and not for their place. You can see the difference in body-language compared to a couple of years ago when people were calling for them to be dropped.

 

[axl100mph]

so that Sarfaraz can come in. I would even watch Tamim play rather than this mistri

 

[Mamoon]

U seem to be more of an artist and I like the perspective u hv on life as a whole. Should hv done a creative degree. If not, then a social arts degree could have also helped u fulfill ur potential. I can imagine that u could hv written impressive texts on Sociology, politics n stuff.

Thank you.

The thing is in Pakistan, there is too much social pressure and you don't have many options other than medicine, engineering, finance etc.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I just hope he doesn't throw it away now.. I think he willl

 

[iHammad]

Azhar > Tendulkar.

207* > 148

 

[Neferpitou]

Well done.

 

[razabbas]

Credit goes to misbah here he always believed in them

 

[Mamoon]

Credit goes to misbah here he always believed in them

But but but Fawad would have averaged 60 by now.

 

[Neferpitou]

Maybe a little credit goes to Waqar and Flower for instilling confidence in these two, in fact the whole batting line up.

Nobody will acknowledge that.

 

[badsha001]

finally some aggressive batting in this test match...

 

[axl100mph]

Thank you.

U hv to be brave bro coz If u r good enough, nthing will stall u. Its only when u think u hv weaknesses that u become unsure. by the way, I m testing the waters n studying film making in the UK, so let's see whether I can hv a decent future

That's interesting, but it is realistic in the UK. In Pakistan if you study film making, you will be called a . . .

 

[imshally81]

On 99*

 

[badsha001]

Pak should only bat once and score 700 or something

 

[Hamza_]

Thank you.

The thing is in Pakistan, there is too much social pressure and you don't have many options other than medicine, engineering, finance etc.

And hence no balance between demand and supply.

 

[badsha001]

ANother 100

 

[imshally81]

100 for Asad Shafiq

 

[Bullet Drive]

What cricketers we produce. Great stuff

 

[Hamza_]

100 for Shafiq as well

 

[razabbas]

Well played shafiq now some power hitting please

 

[iHammad]

100 off just 149 balls, well played boyy

 

[m.shah]

6th hundred for shafiq

 

[iHammad]

More cake cutting will happen in the Pakistan camp this evening

 

[UpInTheAir]

Lol this is gold. )

Haha thanks. Seems the team may be getting more cake today too, thanks to Shafiq and the double by Azhar.

 

[Bilal7]

What cricketers we produce. Great stuff

The Indians must be jealous.

Bro,I m only studying here for my bachelours (and masters in the future InshaAllah) but reside in our Pak watan .

 

[Neferpitou]

Well played Shafiq.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Any words on coaches now?????

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done asad, now time to get to 600 as quickly as possible and get bangladesh in tonight

 

[jog_1]

Bangladesh is getting hammered so far. Though I don't think we'll be able to take 20 Bangla wickets either, so eh...

 

[badsha001]

***... wht type of commentary is this?

 

[Zeshan547]

Now both of these should go all gun blazing, but a wicket don't hurt pak a single bit but scoring slow and wasting over will reduce pak chances of winning this match, so throw you bat at everything now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

44.98 avg for Azhar.

Lets hope he can make a triple.. doubt it because he's trying to hit it too hard now.

 

[badsha001]

if pak cant take 20 wickets in 3 days then they dont deserve to win...

 

[badsha001]

:

 

[Bullet Drive]

That is the shot of Azhar Ali's career, and I've seen every ball of it!

 

[m.shah]

Now up the scoring rate so that we can declare quickly

 

[m.shah]

What a shot by Ali

 

[badsha001]

Azhar should go after 300 and then look for 400

 

[UpInTheAir]

Won't be satisfied with these innings until Bangladesh get a bat. They went beast mode in there 2nd innings last test.

 

[Bullet Drive]

"not a lot of people in the ground...... that's why you don't see people on the seats"

DURHHHHH

#athargems

 

[Zeshan547]

Azhar hitting a six to a bowler who isn't a spinner, this must be eggs in his life, or you guys can recall another?

 

[uberkoen]

woah. Azhar

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar Ali with a 45 average now..... come on get that triple not out!!!

 

[uberkoen]

Azhar should go after 300 and then look for 400

He should look to bat out the five days because the match is going to end up as a draw anyway.

 

[Mamoon]

Azhar overtakes MoYo's highest individual score.

 

[Adeel Naseem]

He should look to bat out the five days because the match is going to end up as a draw anyway.

Even for 500

 

[Zeshan547]

* oh dear, i meant "first" and not eggs. I think i have to switch off dictionary on my cell.

 

[wasimjunior]

Let's put up 650 today

 

[badsha001]

no wonder asad shafiq doesnt play in odi and t20...

 

[m.shah]

Looks out

 

[badsha001]

man, these commentators r way too funny...

 

[Laal]

According to Athar Ali Khan, a 3.4 economy rate in Test cricket is good. This guy is clueless.

 

[Mamoon]

In real time, you could see that there is some glove involved. Athar is a moron.

Mr. Nigel has been awesome in this series.

 

[taqi]

make them play last 15-20 overs

 

[battler]

Not out

 

[Mamoon]

Great knock, now time for some Sir Faraz show.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Shafi]

Why Azhar throw your wicket???

 

[Zeshan547]

Is pitch starting to take spin? Or not.

 

[shaaik]

What a chance gone begging.

 

[shaaik]

Sarfaraz one of those batsmen who don't need any sighters... He starts middling them from ball one ..

 

[imshally81]

Pak should declare after 600

 

[Zeshan547]

Blessing disguise for pak sir can real up the ante. And some people would still be unhappy with azhar for getting after double ton, some people just complain as if they don't have anything else to do. Give him a break guys.
