Missing!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like england will win by six wickets. Its a beautiful batting day with no demons in the pitch and our batting showing its class.

 

[Mamoon]

Younis gets another lifeline. A part of me was hoping for the misery to end because Sarfraz can put some life into this innings.

 

[Hasan123]

Umpires haven't been great for both sides tbh

 

[Pete Rose]

If not now then a few deliveries from now. Yk giving no confidence

 

[Syed1]

Bachat

 

[imshally81]

BTW... Pathetic Umpiring

What is wrong with Younis, jumping around all over the place?

Nothing is wrong. Told you many times that he is rubbish against pace and will struggle in England.

 

[PakFan2010]

Why don't we get a run? It wasn't out. Absolute joke.

 

[ExplicitAI]

OMG that was LUCKY, memories of Sachin Tendulkar in Mohali

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead only 142 so far.

 

[Amjid Javed]

awful decision in 1st place and thank god for DRS.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Now this DRS is what we miss in our away tours. If it was India, our fate would have been sealed with that decision.

 

[Mamoon]

After how many deliveries did Younis middle one? That sounded refreshing.

 

[MMHS]

I would let him play till Australia series and then Induct Youngsters in 2017/18 UAE leg. Wont be fair on Babar, Saud or HArris to be starting their career in NZ/Aus

That's the PAK approach.

In 2004, Michel Clarke was selected for IND tour - in some ABC program, I was listening conversation, where Aussie CS (Trevor Hawhns?) was talking. Same issue was raised - young player, 1st time against IND, in IND, is this fair? Particularly for such a strong team - if he fails, AUS might lose a quality young player.

This is was the response (don't go word by word) - Mike is picked for his potential & performance, not from expectation. He might fail in IND, but this is the best time to draft him as he has the quality, he is in good nick & he has the comfort of a great line-up. If he fails, still it doesn't change that he is one of the best for future, again will get his chance as we'll persist with him; but if he succeeds, he is going to be the next big thing from Australia. What do you want me to do - deprive a youngster for possible failure, or give him a chance to prove himself?"

Clarke batted at 6 & made 153 on debut at Bangalore, then took 6/9 at Mumbai ..............

 

[ExplicitAI]

I have literally no confidence in Rahat and Wahab so ideally we need 300. But that seems like a big stretch from here

It's possible with the batsman we have right now

 

[shah_1]

Score karo yaar

 

[PakFan2010]

Has this pitch become a dreadful one?

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

play some shots, they will pick you out otherwise... Come on pak...

 

[ExplicitAI]

Excellent review by Younis, I'm backing him for a big score here.

 

[Syed1]

Yk looking like a tailender

 

[Syed1]

Now this DRS is what we miss in our away tours. If it was India, our fate would have been sealed with that decision.

Only yourself to blame

 

[Pete Rose]

Having said everything about yk, I think you can't ask for a better situation that having a guy with 9000 runs at the crease.

 

[Syed1]

Somehow get to 200 pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[imshally81]

Lucky byes

[QalandarFan]

YK with a strike rate of 17!

 

[Mamoon]

Still flat. Younis just can't play anything above 85 mph.

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 Leg byes off the helmet - every run counts.

 

[Pete Rose]

Lead getting close to 150

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dont care if it comes off the helmet

 

[MMHS]

Shaan is the highest scorer still .........

 

[QalandarFan]

Hits the helmet and, 4.

 

[PakFan2010]

Extras have given us so many runs!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Nice juicy leg byes

 

[Pete Rose]

It was a run

 

[shah_1]

Runs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Still flat. Younis just can't play anything above 85 mph.

Yes everyone is bored now and falling asleep with you posts about younis khan cant play pace.. like a broken record.

 

[hur rizvi]

Younus is rubbing off on Shafiq too

 

[QalandarFan]

There has been 15 extras which means, Pakistan has only scored 64 of the runs!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Clarke took 6/9 at Mumbai ..............

This can be discounted, in my 15 years of test cricket viewing never seen a track turn so much, 100% dust bowl. AUS got shot for 90 odd chasing 100 in the 4th innings!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

im shocked and really disappointing...

 

[Justcrazy]

Leg byes, good for Pakistan

 

[Mamoon]

Yes everyone is bored now and falling asleep with you posts about younis khan cant play pace.. like a broken record.

I think his batting is making people more bored and sleepy.

 

[Abdullah719]

How exactly is Team Man planning on scoring his runs?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Has this pitch become a dreadful one?

No it's just swinging in the air.

 

[hur rizvi]

Shaan is the highest scorer still .........

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] interested in your prediction from here onwards
[MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] bhai your feedback is welcome too

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

No way that Azhar was out. Azhar been very unlucky this match

We Indians got a rude shock from the 4th test.

Trent Bridge and Lord's we did well.

But the game really changed for us in 4th and 5th.

These are easier English conditions to bat.

There are WAY MORE tougher pitches in England.

Pakistan screwing up a lot today but still match is 50-50 cos they got a big lead and Yasir is there.

But a collapse now would change the fate.

 

[QalandarFan]

Pakistan's fielding has gave away 79 runs!

 

[hur rizvi]

His Jump is interesting

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

These two need to string in a 50 plus partnership, Asad's technique looks great.

 

[PakFan2010]

How is Younis supposed to play a shot while dancing around?

 

[Muhammad10]

Younis batting slower than Azhar today.

Someone please stay there with him.

 

[Syed1]

Allah Allah karke 200 bunalo buss

 

[MMHS]

True, but there was 4 other spinner in that match.

 

[shah_1]

This is going nowhere

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If Pakistan get to 200, they have a BIG advantage.

They will win 80-20.

Need atleast 100 more to be competetive. Need 150 more to have a upper hand IMO

 

[ExplicitAI]

Is Younis just going to block and kick his back leg back at every ball? At least look to rotate the strike for once.

 

[Ab Fan]

Is this how Dravid v2.0 bats in England?

 

[Syed1]

How is Younis supposed to play a shot while dancing around?

He has been there for 66 balls now.. if it is working for him we shouldn't care what it looks like

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

pak cant score

 

[Mamoon]

We are going nowhere here. Nowhere.

I have never seen a team bat with such lack of purpose and planning with a considerable first innings lead.

 

[shah_1]

Another maiden

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If England have a killer mentality, they need to go and break this partnership and try to prey on Pakistan's collapse vulnerability and get them around 100.

Still they got to chase 167 which isn't as easy as it looks.

That lead was gold dust.

 

[Watsupdoc]

How is Younis supposed to play a shot while dancing around?

The way he has scored 9000+ runs

 

[hur rizvi]

If Pakistan get to 200, they have a BIG advantage.

They will win 80-20.

Dont agree!! Anything less than 300 would be even game with 2 pathetic bowlers and Amir's stamina under question.

 

[QalandarFan]

YK strike rate drops to 15.9

 

[Mamoon]

Is this how Dravid v2.0 bats in England?

Those who said he's better than Dravid should look at how Dravid batted in England at the twilight of his career in 2011.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too lucky

 

[shah_1]

Edge and four

 

[Abdullah719]

He has been there for 66 balls now.. if it is working for him we shouldn't care what it looks like

Bhai at this rate the 200 you're asking for will be reached on Day 5, that is the problem.

whats pak aim, tire them out or summat, rotate the strike guys...

 

[Pete Rose]

150

 

[aukhan]

 

[hur rizvi]

150 comes up

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Shafiq lucky.

 

[PakFan2010]

We've been very lucky to still be in this.
