Pak 111/4

[AZ]

the best period for batting on this wicket, we really need a big partnership this session.

:aali

 

[Fawad2010]

we need a big score from Yousaf

and only if I could tell the batsmen to start fresh with every session....

 

[Fawad2010]

5 minutes

 

[shan]

Another wicket this seassion and England will be right on top.

 

[ScotRaz]

:aali

Mr Ahmed Zulfiqar, are you really "#1 Fan and Proud Supporter of Salman Butt", or is this somekind of joke that I'm missing?

 

[AZ]

no joke, he's my fave player...although he has been disappointing of late

 

[Desi_Joker]

Here's hoping for a big century for Yousuf!

Actually a century partnership wouldn't be that bad either...

 

[sanakazmi]

rich cloud cover? ay hai.

 

[AZ]

 

[ZAK]

[ZAK]

[AZ]

117 for 4

 

[Dr. Khan]

ok good, no wicket to Swann in his first over of the session

 

[Dr. Khan]

Lets see if the ball swings.

 

[AZ]

Ramiz shut the hell up!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Again Ramiz getting impatient,..For god sake,let him get his eye in..

 

[Dr. Khan]

Ohhh Shut up Rameez
Carrying on Bothams comment for an hour

 

[AZ]

punched down the ground, nice shot.

 

[ZAK]

[ZAK]

1 to Yousuf.

 

[AZ]

big scream of NOOOOOO from :aali

 

[ZAK]

more to :aali

 

[AZ]

nicely placed thru extra cover, lovely shot by Azhar.

 

[shan]

Azhar ***

 

[Dr. Khan]

Good shot Azhar.
Prove us wrong and do not go into a shell

 

[ZAK]

3 to Ali.

 

[shan]

Azhar already on 16* wow

 

[AZ]

thickish outside edge, 3 more for Azhar.

 

[ScotRaz]

cmon lad, prove the doubters wrong stay focussed. Let the master with the "stare" at the other end guide you young Skywalker.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Aamer Sohail was saying just now that since Younis Khan is being sent to UK to play in 4th test, Azhar Ali will be trying very hard to score good today or he'll lose his place in the team.

 

[ZAK]

leg-by

 

[AZ]

uff too close...completely misread the inswinger!

 

[ZAK]

3 to Yousuf.

 

[Maula Jutt]

We trail by 100 runs.

 

[Dr. Khan]

Thats the difference - same ball to Yousuf as Ali. And Yousuf looked so good onto the on side

 

[AZ]

lovely clip thru midwicket by

just like the good old days

 

[shan]

Good positive batting. Excelent start after launch.

 

[Dr. Khan]

Aamer Sohail was saying just now that since Younis Khan is being sent to UK to play in 4th test, Azhar Ali will be trying very hard to score good today or he'll lose his place in the team.

If anything the pressure should be on Farhat. Butt and Hammed open, YK at one drop

 

[insaftak]

MOYO looks good.

 

[Fawad2010]

runs coming

 

[Maula Jutt]

If anything the pressure should be on Farhat. Butt and Hammed open, YK at one drop

But Farhat will be playing as opener till Pakistan's 100th birthday so why should he take any pressure.

 

[Noork85]

i wonder what they had for lunch, theyre on fiyahh here

 

[ScotRaz]

MOYO looks good.

He's had 57 deliveries to check the pitch out, play himself in, patience is the key. When you have class, you never lose it.

 

[Noork85]

But Farhat will be playing as opener till Pakistan's 100th birthday so why should he take any pressure.

[Mohsin]

Just imagine if we had Yousuf and perhaps even Younus for the whole series

 

[Big Mac]

Bloody hell, can't believe that didn't bowl him.

 

[AZ]

Yousuf bhai come forward, don't go back.

don't think he's picking Swann.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Yousuf.

 

[Dr. Khan]

lead in double figures now

 

[ZAK]

134/4

 

[Seen Sheen]

Yousuf bhai come forward, don't go back.

don't think he's picking Swann.

Nothing wrong with going back...The pitch isnt turning prodigiously and the bounce is true..And he's managing him nicely there...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Trail by double figures now, 99. Yousuf grafting it out.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Driven away through covers for a couple...

 

[AZ]

pushed thru covers, 2 more for Yousuf bhai.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Yousuf.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Thats his favourite shot indeed...
Four through third man,played very very late

 

[AZ]

guided to 3rd man area

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[KingSwing]

99.33 MOYO was bradman for a year

 

[cricket_fever]

[hamzamunir]

Great day so far....MoYo showing his CLASS and Azhar holding the fort down and AND AND AND.... is coming back! Shukkar Al Hamdulillah

 

[Maula Jutt]

Thank God scorecard's ticking.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Yousuf.

 

[AZ]

Nothing wrong with going back...The pitch isnt turning prodigiously and the bounce is true..And he's managing him nicely there...

he almost got cleaned up!

 

[ZAK]

1 more to Yousuf.

 

[cricket_fever]

inshallah moyo will get a 100 today! inshallah ameen!

 

[Noork85]

swann is scary

 

[Seen Sheen]

Round the wicket angle is very dangerous,especially that arm ball could be pretty lethal from there...

 

[ZAK]

142/4

 

[Seen Sheen]

he almost got cleaned up!

It was a one-off,mis-judged the length on that occassion other than that he's looked solid....

 

[hamzamunir]

Yaar barey dinho baad Khush Khabri sun ney ko mil rahi hai...Younis is coming back finally itsgoingtobefuncricket.

 

[AZ]

142 for 4

 

[KingKhanWC]

Swann not as threating so far, needs to be milked for singles.

Flicked away through square leg region for a !!!
