England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 3

[Abdul]

Time for Younis to deliver a big innings under pressure. That's what world class players do.

Yes, but Younis Khan is not a World-class player, by any means.

 

[Pete Rose]

I suppose I am required to say that 'well as long as he is there...."
But honestly this is some comically gutless stuff from yk

 

[castortroy]

Yk isn't going anywhere here

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

5/2 in last 10 overs - and that after a lead of 67. I don't think players are mentally tough enough to take pressure.

agreed..

tbh the thinking was not bad from Misbah & he targetted the right bowler too . The innings needed some momentum & few boundaries could have helped here . Just the execution was bad .

Had there been a no outfielder I would have called it good thinking. Misbah can get boundaries with ground shots against Moeen, like he got 4 in one of overs in First innings. This was afridi like slog

 

[Muhammad10]

lol !! I love to see the rage on this forum. 100% agreed with IAJ.

The same people upset that Azhar was defending and got out, and now upset that Misbah tried to attack and got out. Typical Pakistanis, get upset once you know the result, regardless of the action taken by the team.

Still just need 1 big partnership to take back control, hopefully Asad is in good form and YK can deliver a good innings for us.

That's right. There are only two ways of batting. Dots or sixes. Nothing like playing the ball on merit and rotating the darn strike!

 

[aukhan]

shafiq

 

[haroon91]

YK is grinding but if he scores a 50+ it will be one of his best innings

 

[Hasan123]

Shafiq needs to bat higher in the order. Wouldn't mind this in the next game
Azhar
Shan
Shafiq
Younis
Hafeez
Misbah

 

[Pete Rose]

Shafiq breaks the drought

 

[Mamoon]

[Broken Record]

It's a shame that Younis holds all Pakistan batting records in Tests, when this country has produced players of the class of Hanif, Miandad, Zaheer, Majid, Inzamam, Saleem, MoYo and Saeed.

He isn't a better batsman than any of them.

[/Broken Record]

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for shafiq

lead 131

 

[PakFan2010]

Time for a big innings for Shafiq, he's a world class player in the mould of Kohli and Root.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Classy shot Shaffy boy.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

few more of them, pls

 

[hur rizvi]

Yes, but Younis Khan is not a World-class player, by any means.

Over the span of whole career he certainly is. He just doesnt have reflexes anymore

 

[QalandarFan]

Four from Asad

 

[Pete Rose]

Chance for shafiq to be a legend. I have low hopes from yk

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Time for a big innings for Shafiq, he's a world class player in the mould of Kohli and Root.

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK or shafiq special needed here now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

All is not lost

 

[Pete Rose]

YK is grinding but if he scores a 50+ it will be one of his best innings

True. But he needs to work in a partnership.

That's right. Only way to bat is to premeditate dots and sixes. No such thing as playing the ball on merit, dispatching looseners and rotating the darn strike!

Lucky shot for 4 by YK! awful shot.

 

[PakFan2010]

Younis is a night watchman.

 

[Hasan123]

Lucky 4

 

[marlonbrowndo]

We need a YK special. Don't care if he reeancts the ending of "Dirty Dancing" while doing it

 

[aukhan]

Four hahahah

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

eng are fav now, they must be laughing at us. younis lucky just now

 

[Strike!]

lol yk stop dancing

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh, close one but four.

 

[Square Drive]

What on earth Misbah.

Knew he would do something stupid like that. Was going to come on here and post it but before I could...

All down to this pair and Sarfraz.

Can see us getting 275 still.

 

[ExplicitAI]

by YK

 

[Hasan123]

Younis needs to stop shuffling and just play the ball on merit.

 

[imshally81]

Plumb?

No, he is not.

 

[Pete Rose]

I am just looking at the lead figure now.

 

[hussain.r97]

Oh my god

What a dire state of affairs this is. We were at a point where we could dictate terms, now we're back to scratch again.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Gosh that looks close. Theyll review for sure

 

[hur rizvi]

Looked close

 

[ViciousMachine]

Double digits for YK!! Now we rolling

 

[#GreenRoars]

Please please not out

 

[Amjid Javed]

LBW shout, review taken.

 

[aukhan]

Younis can dance all he wants as long as he score some runs here.

 

[castortroy]

Looks plum

 

[Hasan123]

Thought this was out but inside edge has saved him

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

oh dear

 

[hur rizvi]

Inside edge may be

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Yk Looking like a proper tailender here

 

[PakFan2010]

Younis bhai is brilliant.

 

[Pete Rose]

Saved by the edge

 

[#GreenRoars]

Peeuwww, saved.

Ball kept very very low.

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh I think it's very close.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yes! Hit the bat

 

[hussain.r97]

Younis looking like a #11 out there.

 

[Amjid Javed]

england lose 2nd review

 

[imshally81]

Inside edge save him

This is comical stuff from YK. He's made to look like a schoolboy by ball.

 

[Hasan123]

Arthur not looking happy

 

[PakFan2010]

Younis smiling like he knows what he's doing. Hahahha

 

[Pete Rose]

Both reviews lost?

 

[QalandarFan]

Edged. Yes!

 

[Mamoon]

I think we should move Younis on after this tour. What's the point of him scoring runs on slow UAE pitches if this is what he is doing in England with all his experience.

It would be better if some fresh blood is given the chance in UAE to get a taste of this level.

Shafiq and Azhar can carry the batting in UAE, and Yasir will bowl teams out.

Younis isn't vital to our success in UAE.

 

[ViciousMachine]

No more reviews for Eng for 45+ overs!!

 

[imshally81]

Both reviews lost?

Yahoo... Yes

England with no reviews left.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

pak need to be positive now, they will just pick them out.. get as many run now...

 

[aukhan]

Why is he jumping on every delivery.

 

[Rayyman]

thank Allah that hit the bat

 

[hur rizvi]

No, he is not.

Then noone has ever been worldclass at batting in Pakistan's History.

Thanks

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK some how survives!

 

[shah_1]

YK should gracefully retire after this series

 

[ExplicitAI]

Inside edge

 

[shah_1]

Just score 200 runs

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Younis smiling like he knows what he's doing. Hahahha

That was practically the most comical stuff in the entire situation - YK smiling like he owns the place or what

 

[imshally81]

Inside edge

Otherwise.. It was plumbed
