Thanks man.

 

[nads_rocks]

I know test cricket is tuk tuk cricket and players take their time but when it comes to Pakistan they are jus way too slow in scoring, the scorecard just freezes whenever they play, this is the same pitch that New Zealand racked up 338 un 1 day and we jus managed 68 in 30 overs n lost 4 wickets too!!!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pitch may have detoriated and maybe overcast now? Still shocking stuff from the guys though

 

[Veteran]

Looks like a bit of a recovery going on. Good luck, Misbah and Shafiq, keep it up.

 

[talha3]

once again we're witnessing misbah's 1st gear and his 5th gear. tuk tuk 6 6 lol

 

[the SHA]

CricIndia taking the biscuit for not giving live updates... You bet they'll be giving statement-by-statement feeds come the hearing on Jan 6th!

 

[sully3]

i rather have us follow on and give the guys some batting practice

 

[sully3]

out

Yes, If they can not make 300, I want them bat again instead of avoiding follow on.

 

[GOAT]

Relatively speaking, Asad has nothing to be ashamed of at the moment. I wonder whats going on with the pitch/team that we're doing so bad these days?

Thats the good thing about Test cricket though, 5 days gives you enough time to do poorly in one or two sessions (or a day)

 

[shehabahmed]

pak 96 for 5
misbah 42

 

[Watsupdoc]

pak 96 for 5
misbah 42

Good for Misbah
And I hope this not Pakistan's best (or so called 100 %)

 

[Prince_Pathan]

its pakistans first XI anyhu lol

so lets be honest
its a bit of a joke

go on misbah tho

 

[GOAT]

Everyone scored a fifty in the England warm up - that series wasn't exactly the best for our batsmen now was it?

 

[insaaniyat]

40/4.. worst show ever from pak. one more wicket & into tail

It's only a warmup guys. Let'a not panic. We are a good test side team

 

[insaaniyat]

go on misbah tho

Bhai yeh warm up hai. give them a benefit of doubt

 

[Prince_Pathan]

love it

 

[Prince_Pathan]

never man...i know your being sarcastic

but these guys are giving us a taste of what is to come

misbah can be the only one to gain some credibility so far

hope he scores back so his doubters can shut up for a small bit

i always maintained hes good for longer formats...and if sort out his dots a good t20 player too

thats one good news...misbah seems to be on good form atleast

 

[insaaniyat]

)

love it

hai na?

 

[insaaniyat]

)

never man...i know your being sarcastic

but these guys are giving us a taste of what is to come

misbah can be the only one to gain some credibility so far

and he is the captain right? I remeber we all talked about T20 warmup match and were told not to worry about it

 

[insaaniyat]

Anway Insha Allah we will win the test series. The only series over there we will win

 

[Veteran]

Misbah on 50. Good job.

 

[Swing of the Southee]

who the hell is boult? )

looking good so far

Trent Boult, a 21 year old left arm quick. After Southee he's probably New Zealand's best up and coming quick. He made the New Zealand team on a tour to Australia early 2009 but didn't get a game and actually ended up suffering a really bad back injury that has kept him out of cricket for close to a year.

He's actually pretty comparable to Mohammad Aamer tbh, not a very big kid but he's quite quick (around 140) and he swings the ball both ways. Whippy sort of action too.

 

[anakwalajinn]

50

 

[talha3]

Good partnership 32 from 40

 

[talha3]

Correction: 40 from 43. Adnan batting like his brothers here.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

no problem...pakistan are slow starters...

 

[talha3]

Partnership 50 now off 52

 

[talha3]

Adnan on fire now, last 16 balls 30 from him

 

[talha3]

last 5 overs run rate 7.6

 

[Usman]

Adnan Akmal gone!

 

[cricket_fan_1]

what is the score now...130-140ish for 6 down ??

 

[talha3]

yep. 148-6 misbah 57 not out

 

[cricket_fan_1]

i always respected misbah

he should be playing all formats for pakistan

 

[shehabahmed]

pak 157/6,,, misbah63

 

[cricket_fan_1]

162/6

hope they can avoid defeat here

 

[shehabahmed]

170/6 yes they can avoid defeat becoz this is only 3days match

 

[JibranAnsari]

we will i guess , 10 runs to avoid folllow on or how many? 174/6

 

[Decipher]

Misbah should retire from the innings or get out, or else he wont have much energy left to play in the actual test match .... umar ka taqaaza hai bhai.

 

[Walid from Bangladesh]

Misbah should declare before avoiding follow on and give our batsmen another chance for batting.

 

[shehabahmed]

may be their is some defact in you,,, becoz what u r saying there is nothing like that,,,,still he is playing at 75

 

[Sledger]

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Somehow, Misbah is in form.

 

[farazaidi]

only 3 runs left to avoid follow-on

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah should declare before avoiding follow on and give our batsmen another chance for batting.

wow

 

[classic]

should not have avoided the follow on...we need more bating practice ..

 

[PlanetPakistan]

only 3 runs left to avoid follow-on

I think you have to be less than 150 behind in a 3(or 4) day match to avoid the follow on

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

is the score stuck? the scorecard reads 182/6

 

[Rizz Khan]

200/7

Rehman Goes

 

[shehabahmed]

pak 202/7

 

[shehabahmed]

misbah 83 and gul 8

 

[cricket_fan_1]

you need to be less than 150 in deficit in a 3 day match to avoid follow on right ??

 

[shehabahmed]

you need to be less than 150 in deficit in a 3 day match to avoid follow on right ??

all the best for you,,,,,, 201 is enough to avoid follow on

 

[Decipher]

We actually needed a follow on to get more batting practice

 

[shehabahmed]

We actually needed a follow on to get more batting practice

very funny just by another inning our batting is not going to improve anyhow

 

[Rizz Khan]

216/7

 

[Walid from Bangladesh]

[Walid from Bangladesh]

True, But we will know the weakness of our batting lineup and make changes. Hope U.AKMAL get another chance because his only century is against Nz

 

[asdf0045]

whats the follow on rule in general during test matches?

 

[JibranAnsari]

whats the follow on rule in general during test matches?[/QUOTE
the lead should be more than 200 to enforce a follow on
