England v Pakistan | 4th Test | The Oval | Aug 11-15, 2016 | Day 3

[GreenKnightRises]

Wow. MYK

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shabash at least 150 honi chahye..

 

[Rayyman]

Warnie scaring the Brits. LOL.

 

[Kianig89]

Pak need to win to have a shot at no.1 Eng need to avoid defeat

 

[theariezman]

I'm actually starting to worry about England's prospects.

If you survive until Tea you lead by 140, and it will take us until lunch to knock off the deficit.

But worse than that, another 42 runs and you reach 500. That would be quite a psychological hurdle for us.

No one expecting you to worry about Pakistan. The would be the least concern I believe for you.

 

[Syed1]

Koi nahi its just Mo at the other end

 

[Junaids]

Spare a thought for Ijaz Butt.

If you had taken Younis Khan to Australia in 2009-10 and then on to England, you'd have avoided a series of awful defeats and possibly avoided the spotfixing scandal.

 

[Kianig89]

Ambra as they call him in his mother tongue

 

[hur rizvi]

If YK can manage it physically, he should protect the tail & bat for 3 more hours, even at 1.5 rate. After 2 days in field, if Poms are put to survive 10 overs this afternoon & then again tomorrow morning, it'll be tough.

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] bahi

What do you reckon, IMO, No. 5 is best position for Younus's remaining test career. Babar should slot in at 4 if we dont play 5 bowlers. Asad at 3.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir chawalian Na maar

 

[Syed1]

Amir has been to the Misbah school of batting

 

[itsme]

Younis showing guts here ,struggling a little against briad but still doesn't take a single pn second ball,sarfraz would have take it because it was not the last batsmen.

 

[MMHS]

To be frank i thought he may be past it and going by the evidence of the last 3 tests i was afraid i was right. But i think [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] called it a while back when he said that YK would make a big score this series. YK may not have the greatest technique etc. but his guts and temperament are second to none.

THis game is built on character, more than anything else.

 

[Markhor]

We came back at oval in 2010 after two solid thrashings butvyeah not as heartbreaking ones as edgbastons

But at Lord's we had a huge chance to square the series, reducing England to 102-7 but when Trott and Broad made their comeback we gave up. Got disgracefully bowled out for 74 on a pitch with no major demons.

 

[Kianig89]

Yas has to step up this time

 

[Shafi]

Yk needs Amir and Sohail to complete 200

 

[Syed1]

That spun

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Amir should be careful leaving the ball outside off

 

[Kianig89]

In,thatseries cricket was not our Priority

 

[Syed1]

Solid tuk

 

[Red Devil]

Stop trying to slog you dungar

Yah that was embarrassing but half way through the match the scandal broke out.

 

[Syed1]

Bhai kya kar raha hai

 

[Markhor]

Stop slogging Amir ! Just nudge some singles and build the lead. No need for these hoicks.

 

[Strike Rate]

Are you guys happy with the way Pakistan is being exposed outside UAE some of those PP pundits need to find another dictionary for this word

Most Pathetic Administrator

If you see when we played Yousuf at the Oval we ended up winning that match. One wonders what could have been the result with Younus and Misbah batting ahead of Umar Amin and Malik in those tours

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wooky in now.

 

[Kianig89]

Years of patience and stability leads to,a successful test side there should be a nucleus
Which we had in Misbah Yuni Azhar Asad JK Wahab etc

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

What is Amir trying to do here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

THis game is built on character, more than anything else.

Agree completely.

 

[theariezman]

No need Amir to be heroic....YK needs him to calm down.

 

[itsme]

Broaddy was crying for his century and cook doesn't let him get it not good.

 

[Kianig89]

Woakes the only bowlr our batters are wary of

 

[Syed1]

20 aur run chahye hain bus

 

[theariezman]

There's still 32 over for the new ball. If YK survives then automatically we will have extra 50 runs leads. But difficult with tail.

 

[Rayyman]

Agree completely.

I feel like Test matches take a lot of charcacter, ODIs take a little bit, while T20s take no character at all(as seen in the IPL).

 

[Syed1]

Yuni bhai hiding Amir from England's best bowler

 

[castortroy]

Woakes to get a wicket here

Guy has been unplayable this summer

 

[Nikhil_cric]

20 aur run chahye hain bus

Why? bat as long as you can. Grind these bowlers to dust. Already they are showing signs of exhaustion.

 

[Red Devil]

Amir

 

[JibranAnsari]

Where's jimmy Bhai?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Amir is really hungry for runs going after every wide ball now.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

What is this Amir doing Stop this slogging

 

[yasir]

Wicket has turn and bounce, Yasir needs to flight, that should be the focus. He can do a lot, I hope Mushi and Yasir are thinking about that.

We are getting into strong position.

Will Pak allow hales and cook to get another 100 partnership?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Moon should receive some thrashing this over.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Why Amir is trying to be Afridi here???

 

[Syed1]

Well if it were upto me we will be batting till end of day today

 

[QalandarFan]

15 runs to go!

 

[itsme]

Amir trying hard to throw it away

 

[#GreenRoars]

Going.....Going....gone

 

[Red Devil]

Into the 190s

 

[Syed1]

Yuni bhai please smash Mo Ali

 

[Naim]

 

[Markhor]

Into the 190s now. Another six from YK.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Perhaps. I agree that test cricket is probably the greatest test of character since you have to toil for five days but why single out IPL?

 

[Syed1]

Shabash Shabash.. ishi over mein karlo

 

[theariezman]

One moment I thought he played thr wrong shot.

 

[Naim]

younis in not nervous 90s player but his gets nervous in 190s

 

[QalandarFan]

Pumps another six does younis!

 

[Syed1]

8 more runs

 

[yasir]

Make them bowl another 20 overs. Wear them down

Huge six from YK[emoji86][emoji86][emoji86]

[Prince of Pakistan]

Amir has a better defense than many of our top order bats. Unfortunately doesnt have many shots.

 

[QalandarFan]

Playing with ease in the 190's doesn't look nervous!

 

[Syed1]

Solid

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Younus into the 190's.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good Amir, no need to go for shots. Leave this job for YK.

 

[Markhor]

Nice straight bat from Amir. The basics are there - he really ought to be a 20 averaging bat in Tests. What do you think ? [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]

 

[Syed1]

Amir frustrating England

 

[Hasan123]

What an innings from Younis. Amir just stay there bhai no need for stupid shots.

 

[itsme]

Don't know why he has take a single on second ball on ali especially,could have cash in.

 

[MMHS]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] bahi

What do you reckon, IMO, No. 5 is best position for Younus's remaining test career. Babar should slot in at 4 if we dont play 5 bowlers. Asad at 3.

Depends on when Misbah calls it a day. Ideally, if he retires after Oval, for UAE, I'll debut at least 3 players - 2 batsmen & 1 all-rounder.

The all-rounder is direct shoot-out between Yamin & Nawaz (depending on wicket as PAL 'll play 2 spinners), if Haris is not fit yet (Haris should be fit by then, otherwise, he should be out of Central Contract) - or PAK can try Saud as batting all-rounder. For middle order, eventually Azhar & Asad has to drop down to 4 & 5. With due respect, Azhar & Asad are not spring chickens therefore, they shouldn't bat in top 3. Shifting Azhar too many times isn't good, so Babar should bat at 5 for the time being. Sami, Azhar, Asad, YK, Babar, Nawaz/Saud/Yamin + Sarfu + Aamir, Wahab, Yasir & Ashghar. In UAE, Wahab actually makes the team over Sohail or Rahat. Ideally, PAK should play on faster wickets in UAE with 3 pacers & Nawaz supporting Yasir, considering ANZ tours, but PCB isn't that competent.

 

[Syed1]

Yuni bhai keeping Amir on his toes

 

[NauV]

Fantastic lessons for the likes of azhar ali, sami, asad shafiq from the legend . . 50 is not enough! 70 is not enough! 100 is not enough!! when you're in . . . GO ON!! dont give it away . . make it big . . thats when your team wins . . pretty looking 50s aren't good enough . .
