Is Ahmed Shehzad playing the greatest innings of all time?

[Big Mac]

The Pakistan dressing room seem to think so:

Forget the bowlers, not even the umpires can stop him:

The fielders are so happy to be watching this masterclass that they are giving him more runs as thanks for the privilege of being on the same field as the legend:

Each time he is given another life the fielders are so grateful they can barely contain their joy, meanwhile the dressing rooms looks on in jealousy because they wish they could be closer to the action:

Even Sir Garfield Sobers went to the Pakistani dressing room to pass on a message about what an honour it has been to watch Shezhad:

Come on [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION], you know what you have to do

 

[Muhammad10]

He was. Alas, it's all over.

 

[Ummii]

Ok! He is out now

 

[troodon]

AS is showing a lot of maturity and patience. Sure he got lucky a couple of times. He is making WI pay for their mistakes. That is what matters.

Once AS crosses 100, he will unleash his fury on WI trundlers.

 

[Big Mac]

He was. Alas, it's all over.

I blame the mods

 

[Slog]

Lmao I just laughed out loud at the Garry Sobers part. Good stuff man

I had though Sobers had gone there to enquire about why his heir Sohail Tanvir wasn't playing but seems like you have inside info.

Or was it both?

 

[troodon]

Oh Dang!

Jinxed Shehzad bhai.

 

[Slog]

This is actually really funny stuff if people read through it )

 

[Dubawi]

You jinxed a jinxed inning lol

 

[IAJ]

Pity it ended now. Should have continued like this for another couple of days.

 

[Slog]

Oh Dang!

Jinxed Shehzad bhai.

It was made after the dismissal i think

 

[zulfiqar]

haha nice post I had forgotten that you cannot be stumped off a no-ball! Kudos to Shehzad for reminding me

On another note, great to see Azhar getting runs! Said before the series that I want centuries from both Azhar & Asad.. hopefully we will get to see both!

 

[troodon]

It was made after the dismissal i think

I genuinely wanted AS to succeed.

 

[IAJ]

Now that he is gone I am actually turning off my TV.

You thought wrong. There is only one person ready to inherit the throne vacated by Sobers

It was made after the dismissal i think

I had the thread ready to go half an hour ago but spent the time trying to find a mod with either the courage or the sense of humour to add a poll worthy of such an innings.

No such mod could be found so I posted it anyway, then Shezhad got out two balls later

 

[BunnyRabbit]

with the amount of luck involved, should have scored a double century.

Hehehe Sloggy Good One. That was from the middle of the bat with classical timing and placement. No Slog.

[waleed88]

Close enough.

 

[Muhammad10]

I blame the mods

The usual mentality of Shehzad and certain fans of his. It's always someone else's fault.

 

[Big Mac]

From 155/0 to 161/3. That innings looking better every minute

The usual mentality of Shehzad and certain fans of his. It's always someone else's fault.

I am no Shezhad fan.

 

[TestMatch]

Stop teasing Shehzad. He graciously got out so that Misbah can come in and up the strike ra...oh wait.

 

[Muhammad10]

I am no Shezhad fan.

Hence the reason for my saying "certain fans of his". You were merely exhibiting the mentality of the aforementioned specimens.

 

[Bilal7]

Didn't watch his innings (a blessing, apparently) but without that, we would be heading towards an innings defeat so well done, Shehzad.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

im happy because now we dont have to watch Dad's Dream play in the last test match

 

[AFM]

How did you name those gifs so quickly?

 

[Syed1]

Hope Shezzy plays another spectacular innings like this so that Shan does not get a game.

 

[Big Mac]

Easy to capture when I'm using Sky Go on my PC, if I wasn't watching on the computer then I'd need to buy a capture card and hook it up to the Sky box or something which is far too much effort

 

[Hamza_]

Look at Talat Ali in the first one.

Enjoying it in caribbean style.

 

[On_the_up]

It was a privilege to watch this masterclass today.

Only made greater by the failure of the prince and the ATG soon afterwards.

 

[QalandarFan]

Lol, I knew it was [MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION] as soon as I read the title!

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Hope Shezzy plays another spectacular innings like this so that Shan does not get a game.

if Babar doesnt score second innings that will make people in the PCB push for Dad's Dream to come back into the 11

 

[shaz619]

The pitch wasn't that easy and while he puts himself under immense pressure and lacks confidence he put a heavy price on his wicket and a mini collapse ensued the moment he was dismissed. It takes great strength to occupy the crease for that long, shehzad got time on his side to make necessary improvements to his game and hopefully he comes good with the backing of management although I personally prefer Sami Aslam.

But go on closet India fans, start moaning and whining about everything to get through your day.

 

[msb314]

Great innings by any standard.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Far better option than Shan but behind Sami

 

[Big Mac]

omg I was right

post your captions

Sir Garfield Sobers couldn't wait to go shake Shezzy boi's hand after his legendary knock

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Wasim Akram has indirectly thrashed his buddy with whom he has love hate relation mainly targetting fans


Was supports AS tuk tuk.

 

[Big Mac]

Look at that leave, perfect judgement on a difficult wicket. Shezzy boi on his way to painting another masterpiece.

 

[Big Mac]

IT'S HAPPENING BOYS, IT'S HAPPENING

 

[AFM]

What a player. Playing an even greater innings in the 2nd dig.


Truly blessed to witness a batsman that surpasses even the Don. Already his innings would be 200 on any other other pitch.

 

[Big Mac]

Watching wickets tumble at the other end, yet he still standing strong. What a player

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Needs to.perform now.and change his career around..

 

[Rana]

For once, try and support a guy playing for his country.

 

[Abdullah]

If he wins this game with a hundred,
All is forgiven
