England reach 36/2 at stumps on Day 3, chasing 297 to win the second Test against Pakistan

[Muhammad Saad]

Give Jamal couple of overs before close of play.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

For the first time, i support you bro....
can't understadn why stadium is not full....you guys should be packing in and cheering the roof off....

Nobody's interested in test cricket especially in 45 degrees heat and no roofs or facilities.

 

[Slim]

Rizwan is actually doing the captaincy, telling them how to stop their sweeping. Lol.

Rizwan will definitely be a better captain than Shan. But i dont want both. My captain is billi face Agha.

 

[Caved12]

Need a Sajid emoji asap

 

[batandballbattle]

need 11 around the bat all sledging insults in punjabi, pashto, urdu and the queen's english from shan

 

[mominsaigol]

Even though one chacha is not playing we have another chachu to keep us happy.

I see you always avoid my questions on chacha for some reason.

To this day I've never gotten an answer despite asking the sane question over and over

 

[Buffet]

Put one more fielder near on leg side. Edge while sweeping will carry.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

 

[emranabbas]

why does team look watchable after shaheen babar not being in team?

because its not marketable any more

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Need to get Root before close of play.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Put one more fielder near on leg side. Edge while sweeping will carry.

Exactly

 

[Slim]

Magnificent from Noman.

This 50 year old uncle is putting these supposed young spin sensations to shame.

The fact that we wasted his years. Another crime of Babar Azam. The list keeps on getting longer..

 

[TheSultan]

We need fielders in their face!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to get Root before close of play.

Yep got to get him early

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I see you always avoid my questions on chacha for some reason.

To this day I've never gotten an answer despite asking the sane question over and over

There is nothing sane about your questions. But anyway puttar you want me to watch a historic test match or answer questions from a wannabe aussie during an exciting period of cricket?

 

[emranabbas]

The fact that we wasted his years. Another crime of Babar Azam. The list keeps on getting longer..

i think its more to do with misbah he prefered chacha ifti over chacha nomi

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Nobody's interested in test cricket especially in 45 degrees heat and no roofs or facilities.

Yeh to zyadti hai....bro....
i get it no facilities...same in my country - india....
But you guys dont get so many tests matches...and u guys winning, i'd be surprised if you guys dont pack the stadium tommorow to cheer on ur boys...

 

[Slim]

i think its more to do with misbah he prefered chacha ifti over chacha nomi

Ifti and nomi are two different type of players. One is a batsman, other is a bowler. Doesnt make sense..

 

[Buffet]

We need fielders in their face!

+1

Surround them, last few overs.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

why does team look watchable after shaheen babar not being in team?

Because the two most overrated and useless players are replaced by useful batsmen and bowler.

And Babar era is gone.

 

[batandballbattle]

Root before the close will be the cherry on top

 

[DeadlyVenom]

bring all fielders around the bat and give leggie a go.

whats the worst that can happen

 

[Caved12]

It would be great if we could get one more before the day ends

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

need 11 around the bat all sledging insults in punjabi, pashto, urdu and the queen's english from shan

lol...ye hui na baat....


and for all u know Shoib Bash migh follow it...hilarious

 

[emranabbas]

sajid the don karlega

It's Pakistan at the end of the day the average person has to work harder to make ends meet, even when the PCB have kept it free they've not been coming in.

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan will definitely be a better captain than Shan. But i dont want both. My captain is billi face Agha.

For white ball cricket Agha, for Tests Rizwan.

 

[Buffet]

Almost got one more.. Keep it there.

 

[TheSultan]

Where are the close in fielders. They’ve set a field as if they’re defending 100, not 300

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

sajid the don karlega

am sure he will be Man of the match...i hope he does his celebration after taking MoM trophy....dude is already legend worthy....there has to be some meme being prepared somewhere in his honor

 

[FearlessRoar]

This is the 2nd instance in Multan a batter has scored a century and a duck in a Test match

Century and a duck in Test match in Multan

102 & 0 - Abdullah Shafique vs ENG, 2024
114 & 0 - Ben Duckett vs PAK, 2024

 

[Slim]

If we win this, 1992 WC winner Aqib Chad Javed would leave another positive imprint on Pakistan cricket.

 

[TheSultan]

For white ball cricket Agha, for Tests Rizwan.

Rizwan shouldn’t even be in the test team.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Think out of the box and set unusual field before the close of play get one more

 

[kron]

Yep got to get him early

Root
Yes
Brook crook took and all are easy to get after. Remove root.

 

[mominsaigol]

There is nothing sane about your questions. But anyway puttar you want me to watch a historic test match or answer questions from a wannabe aussie during an exciting period of cricket?

I have been asking this question since the day you met me? Here I'll repeat " Then why do you support chacha who hasn't ever contributed?



Chacha's contribution only include the sa game in wc 2022 and Nepal + NZ c game in odi.


What's the reason for that?

Also teemage twilight theories? That's rich coming from you, want me to pull up some of your chacha claims?"

You can respond to the first paragraph. Idc about the 2nd one?

Why don't you respond to Then why do you support chacha who hasn't ever contributed?

Chacha's contribution only include the sa game in wc 2022 and Nepal + NZ c game in odi.

 

[Slim]

Think out of the box and set unusual field before the close of play get one more

Too much to ask from Shan.

 

[kron]

East or West Pakistan is the best

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Pakistan won their last test match on spinning track in SL, I don't know what made them prepare such tracks before

 

[Buffet]

Not sure why fielders are not surrounding them in the last few overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor field settings. Keep mid on up. Make them play through off side against Sajid

 

[emranabbas]

only 3 overs left

 

[Ali Active]

Sajid taunting root

 

[Slim]

Lol barmy army is already crying

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan shouldn’t even be in the test team.

Yes replace him with Haris, Hassebullah or grandad Sarfraz.

 

[Buffet]

Don't allow esy singles, just few overs left.

 

[sweep_shot]

I expect Pakistan to get a relatively big win (100+ runs).

 

[Slim]

Give one to zahid or jamal before close of play.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Keep 5-6 men around the bat and force them into a false shot

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Clever from chachu. Good spin bowling

 

[emranabbas]

need to get bit aggressive

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Nice shot tbh

Tomorrow is evenly poised

 

[imshally81]

Need at least 2 slips here

 

[Slim]

Need to get Root’s wicket early in the day tomorrow but a great day of test cricket nonetheless. Well done Pakistan team!

 

[Mamoon]

Absolutely school boy batting this

Pathetic.

Agha play some damn shots

I wonder how it feels to have 0 cricket and 0 football knowledge at the same time.

 

[Markhor]

The fact they didn't give Zahid even one over on this pitch speaks volumes.

Anyway entertaining day's cricket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No chance for England even on a normal Asian pitch let alone 9th day pitch.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Game well balanced. Pakistan wil need to get early wickets tomorrow

 

[batandballbattle]

Our day through and through, wrap it up tomorrow boys

 

[gazza619]

Clever from chachu. Good spin bowling

This is confusing

May be we can call Noman tayaa

There is only one chacu

 

[mominsaigol]

Nice shot tbh

Tomorrow is evenly poised

Stop reporting me good god and answer

 

[Dr_Bassim]

No matter what the result, kicking out Babar and Shaheen has massively shifted the fortunes of Pakistani team.

I hope in the off chance Pakistan do not get home, we continue to keep Babar and Shaheen out and focus on the positives of this team.

Rizwan is the probably remaining element that should be removed to complete the transformation.

Not just rizzu, Anyone associates with the pack.

This includes Abdullah Shafique who's emulating the king and was called into the team due to Bobby's favour and not out of merit given his 7 list A games, As well as Shan and a few more.

 

[gazza619]

Game well balanced. Pakistan wil need to get early wickets tomorrow

For me it is England 60 and Pakistan 40

Remember Pakistan’s third spin option is an incompetent Zahid Mehmood.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

There is only one chacu

Chacha name is like 007. Will go on from player to player provided they can fill the requirements and leave the opposition shaken not stirred.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

For me it is England 60 and Pakistan 40

Remember Pakistan’s third spin option is an incompetent Zahid Mehmood.

If Pakistan cant defend 297 on a raging turner, no matter the quality of spinners, they will NEVER win anything of substance ever.

 

[Buffet]

Huh, It's 90-10 in favor of Pakistan.

I am puzzled by all this well balanced comments.

Have some faith, it's rank turner and Eng on other side.

Obviously Mr Captain has to go as well.

But I would take Mr Captain for a few more matches if Rizwan gets the boot early.

 

[mominsaigol]

That's not entirely fair. You gotta give credit to England batters if they pull it off. Root is still their and he's cemented himself in top 10 test batters of all time.

So it's not really fair if we judge pak based of said loss assuming it happens.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Salman Agha is on Sky being interviewed.

Comes across really well.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Really really well actually. I'm impressed.

 

[batandballbattle]

Huh, It's 90-10 in favor of Pakistan.

I am puzzled by all this well balanced comments.

Have some faith, it's rank turner and Eng on other side.

The comments are due to deep rooted Bazball fears. They can't Baz on tough pitches though.

 

[Buffet]

The comments are due to deep rooted Bazball fears. They can't Baz on tough pitches though.

They have not done it when pitch is doing something or against good bowlers outside Eng. Too much hype of Bazzball, it works fine for them on super roads or at home. I would have liked to see more fielders surrounding them in the last 5-6 overs.

Only way Eng will get these runs if Pakistan stop having faith in them and not surrounding batsmen in the last 5-6 overs was not good to see. I can understand doing it some other time, but it was perfect oppurtunity to apply more pressure.

 

[gazza619]

Well we have a history….

Plus England bat all the way down to number 9/10

 

[mominsaigol]

Plus England bat all the way down to number 9/10

Suprised to see you agreeing with me? Bhai sab theek?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Suprised to see you agreeing with me? Bhai sab theek?

You need to mention Rizwan in bad breath to get a reaction.

 

[Super Santi]

Does Sajid ever bowl around the wicket? Would be useful if he did tomorrow or if he did in general.

 

[Buffet]

Well we have a history….

History of not able to defend 297 on raging turner?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Can Ollie Pope use the heavy roller tomorrow to flatten the pitch?
