England v Pakistan | 4th Test | The Oval | Aug 11-15, 2016 | Day 2

[Haroon786]

Anderson has bowled really well today.

 

[Kianig89]

Shezzy as second opener for WI series

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Papa in the mood to administer some schooling

Big time

 

[Haroon786]

Finn in now.

 

[Kianig89]

Crucial phase this 40mins ball about to reverse

 

[Haroon786]

Shezzy as second opener for WI series

No he's garbage.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Reverse swinging now.

 

[Rayyman]

The question is... Will Azhar permenantly open and does Asad have a good enough technique against new ball for a #3. I don't like these makeshift decisions.

 

[Kianig89]

Signs of reverse Finn in

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

) )) ) What language is that? Funny lol.

Deep Karachi Slang !! Tbh [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] and [MENTION=139982]Sarfarazian92[/MENTION] are the only two blokes here that I've seen (in recent times i.e.) correspond to such linguistic competence.

 

[Kianig89]

Shezzy has knack of scring 100s

 

[world cup captain]

Anybody missing Shezzy #Swag

He would have made a new fastest hundred record every inning. He is the best batsman in Asia but we haven't given him enough chances. Just give him 3 chances, and watch him break Lara's record.

 

[the Great Khan]

how is team man and his ballet dancing going? is he providing lessons to the english out there or has he controlled himself??

 

[Kianig89]

ODI squad announced and its rubbish

 

[angrypathan]

Thappar

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Shafiq ko papa kiun boltay Bhai?

Don't know lol, have heard it from some people and sounds better

 

[Haroon786]

Hammered.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Shafiq ko papa kiun boltay Bhai?

Because he's the grand daddy of them all

 

[Kianig89]

Likes fishing Asad

we used to speak like that in the street during our matches in gulshan iqbal back in the day...lol

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Shezzy as second opener for WI series

khuda ka khouf karo yaar

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad trying to make his case for Odis... Paai ziada shokha Na ho

 

[QalandarFan]

Four from Shafiq!

 

[Kianig89]

Still the legend in fishing

 

[Sarfarazian92]

yeh cheez papa

 

[angrypathan]

Another :AAG

 

[Haroon786]

Root has a weird physique.

 

[dhump]

We are still playing around 220-240 runs mark.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Bohot aala papa

 

[uberkoen]

Beautiful shot

 

[Haroon786]

On 69* now

 

[angrypathan]

Younis joining in on the fun, more

 

[Haroon786]

 

[dhump]

On 69* now

You are playing with fire since cyber crime bill is passed already now.

 

[QalandarFan]

Another Cut for four!

 

[Rayyman]

Shehzad should return as second opener only if Azhar moves back to #3. If Azhar is new opener, then Shehzad can be in squad as third opener.

 

[QalandarFan]

Asad Shafiq's SR is 75!

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

we used to speak like that in the street during our matches in gulshan iqbal back in the day...lol

The best teams are from Nazimabad though, they are THE GOATS when it comes to street cricket in Karachi. A 3rd XI for a Nazimabad team would hammer almost all teams from Defence, Clifton, KDA etc etc. The only teams that can compete with them are either from Malir or Saddar (Lines Area) Where Shazaib Hasan was from originally

 

[QalandarFan]

Younis with a four off Anderson!

 

[angrypathan]

You are playing with fire since cyber crime bill is passed already now.

How will they apply it to us expatriates?

 

[Haroon786]

Utterly ridiculous suggestion by Warne.

 

[angrypathan]

Driven through cover for another by Younis

 

[Rayyman]

YK looking good

 

[dhump]

Gower trolling warne

Too many football fans in Defence, Clifton

 

[uberkoen]

Well driven by Younis

 

[Markhor]

Shafiq ko papa kiun boltay Bhai?

Shafiq Ahmed was a famous Pakistan domestic batsman in the 70s and 80s. Also known as Shafiq Papa hence Asad's nickname.

 

[world cup captain]

Shehzad should return as second opener only if Azhar moves back to #3. If Azhar is new opener, then Shehzad can be in squad as third opener.

Actually, we should clone Shehzad. That way, we can have Shehzads 1-11. Wouldn't that be just perfect?

 

[Cricket World]

Great shot by Younis

 

[angrypathan]

Expect Anderson to have a cry if he keeps going for runs without wickets

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Reverse swinging now.

Signs of reverse Finn in

It's conventional. Look at the seam position.

 

[Haroon786]

You are playing with fire since cyber crime bill is passed already now.

I haven't committed any crime.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Shafiq Ahmed was a famous Pakistan domestic batsman in the 70s and 80s. Also known as Shafiq Papa hence Asad's nickname.

Is this the guy who hammered domestic bowlers but failed on the international circuit?

 

[MMHS]

Asad must play for a big one here, may be for a double. For such big innings, one needs some luck & he got his share today.

This is a type of innings one should expect from No. 3. He didn't kill the momentum. Normally, same situation, azhar used to take 50 balls to reach double digit.

 

[Cricket World]

Mashallah se Younis is looking much better

 

[QalandarFan]

Great Shot!

 

[Haroon786]

Yes YK is starting to middle the ball.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Too many football fans in Defence, Clifton

Itnay Burger hotay hain yar yeah Larkay....Once a team from Defence came to play against us (near SMCHS - Eat On Wali Side per) They brought water coolers and snacks with them as well

 

[ExplicitAI]

YK is looking good out there

 

[QalandarFan]

Current RR is 3.53! Last 10 overs 47/1 RR - 4.7 in last 10!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

This pitch is an absolute jaffa to bat on day.

 

[Rayyman]

Actually, we should clone Shehzad. That way, we can have Shehzads 1-11. Wouldn't that be just perfect?

LOL. I am not a Shehzadian but, the guy has more potential than Khurram and Hafeez and he hasn't done too poorly so far in tests.

 

[dhump]

I haven't committed any crime.

Good luck explaining this to Pervaiz Rasheed.

 

[angrypathan]

Shafiq into the nervous 70s

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

The question is... Will Azhar permenantly open and does Asad have a good enough technique against new ball for a #3. I don't like these makeshift decisions.

There is no one better than Azhar in Pak. Other openers will go hard outside off.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Itnay Burger hotay hain yar yeah Larkay....Once a team from Defence came to play against us (near SMCHS - Eat On Wali Side per) They brought water coolers and snacks with them as well

hahaha, I can totally relate as I'm from clifton as well. My friend asked me an hour ago, "test match kaise dekh lete ho yaar" smh

 

[Cricket World]

This pitch is an absolute jaffa to bat on day.

Inshallah bat till tomorrow tea time

 

[Haroon786]

Good luck explaining this to Pervaiz Rasheed.

I don't live in Pakistan.

 

[dhump]

How will they apply it to us expatriates?

We are already good as dead to them.

 

[Rayyman]

There is no one better than Azhar in Pak. Other openers will go hard outside off.

Then do you know why Misbah has played Azhar at #3 for so long. There has got to be a reason for that.

 

[dhump]

I don't live in Pakistan.

We are already good as dead to them.

Hence solution B applies.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

175/3

Good going

100 run lead here and it the pitch breaks up, England may be in serious trouble.

 

[world cup captain]

LOL. I am not a Shehzadian but, the guy has more potential than Khurram and Hafeez and he hasn't done too poorly so far in tests.

Which is why Hafeez should be dropped and Khurram shouldn't play tests. We invested a lot in Shehzad but he failed us. No need to go back to him.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Shafiq into the nervous 70s

Hope he gets some quick runs as pressure situations aren't good for our Asad.

 

[Haroon786]

Should have been a wide.

 

[Markhor]

Is this the guy who hammered domestic bowlers but failed on the international circuit?

Yeah he only played 6 Tests. Had a FC avg of 50 and 53 hundreds. Was a good strokeplayer and think he was a selector at one point IIRC.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Which is why Hafeez should be dropped and Khurram shouldn't play tests. We invested a lot in Shehzad but he failed us. No need to go back to him.

There is no room either for him. We have Azhar, Sami, Babar who are there with Fakhar etc. waiting for a chance.

 

[hur rizvi]

Woakes the serial wicket taker comes back

 

[Naim]

Don't know lol, have heard it from some people and sounds better

shafiq papa was a die heart fan of cricket he used to organise many cricket tournaments. he was well respected in Pakistani International, and domestic cricketers .

 

[MMHS]

Bad luck for MoHa - I do believe that he would have enjoyed Oval.

But, that's what happens when finally you meet your nemesis. With his technique, foot work (or lack of it) & temperment; ideally he should have accepted No. 6 spot; which perfectly suited his role of batting all-rounder as well. But, he managed to keep opening & his team supported him as well, until it became too late. At this age, it's difficult for him to make a come back, after such disastrous series & with his bowling ban.
