[Afridi_Fan]

This is some achievement, 4 out of top 5 have gone into double figures.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hey 12th man, we really need a better smiley for
Thanks.

 

[Poison]

Thanks.

No this Smiley is perfect.

 

[iHammad]

Fawad

 

[farsiddiqui]

The middle order nucleus of the future in the middle now, hope they have a long partnership, and make their cases for permanent place in the 3-5 position.

 

[Inswinger]

You still haven't gone to sleep??

I tell ya. This man is on a mission. He's on PP 24/7!!! He doesn't even have time for his kid so he made his pic his avatar so he could look at him while he's on PP!!











PS
I'm just having some fun bro!

 

[iHammad]

No this Smiley is perfect.

it looks like Rameez from far man. We need a close up one like for and :umarakmal

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Fawad becomes the highest scorer in the match.

 

[farsiddiqui]

on the last ball of the over.

 

[12thMan]

With Fawad scoring 75+ runs do you think he will be promoted to open. What was the point to send Butt at #4 when he doesn't play there and I thougjt he came at #3 which is similar to opener

Next expected batsman is ta tat tarummmm .. Faisal Iqbal!

 

[Inswinger]

for Umar Akmal!! You can't hold him out of the action for long!!

I'd bat him at #3. Butt/Manzoor and Farhat should open. Either Misbah or Malik shall sit out.

 

[12thMan]

U Akmal 15 off 15 balls. Good stuff. He did have a fantastic Ustralian tour earlier this year

 

[iHammad]

scorecard frozen! ya allah khair!

 

[12thMan]

maybe pepsi time

 

[Inswinger]

scorecard frozen! ya allah khair!

Probably a drinks break.

 

[iHammad]

maybe pepsi time

no. it was just a dot ball whew!!!

 

[Inswinger]

Umar Akmal rotating the strike with ease. Going at a run a ball now.

 

[iHammad]

:umarakmal 16 from 16 balls

 

[iHammad]

****!
Fawad gone!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

gone for 77.

 

[Gollum]

I hope Sarfraz performs well with the bat. He is the future.

 

[iHammad]

He was playing soo well

 

[Inswinger]

Fawad couldn't get his 100 but he's shown more than enough. In my book he's in fr the first test.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

I'd bat him at #3. Butt/Manzoor and Farhat should open. Either Misbah or Malik shall sit out.

If you want him at 3 he is going to be seeing action very soon anyways as either Butt or Manzoor will be gone within a couple of overs.

 

[Gollum]

Well played Fawad Alam. Take a bow.

 

[iHammad]

 

[saadjhussain]

alam out

 

[farsiddiqui]

My Cheetah gone!

 

[iHammad]

bhanja is out to bat.....

 

[Gollum]

Who's next in? Bhanja?

 

[Poison]

Fawad couldn't get his 100 but he's shown more than enough. In my book he's in fr the first test.

Were they ever gonna drop him after his last series? :younis

 

[iHammad]

2 dot balls for bhanja...

 

[Inswinger]

Were they ever gonna drop him after his last series? :younis

We are talking about Pakistan cricket, my friend. Expect the unexpected!!

 

[farsiddiqui]

will get his 50 today

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Lets see what the 'Hall of Famer' Faisal can do with the bat today.

 

[saadjhussain]

the legend is in, oh wait, that was his uncle

 

[iHammad]

ok guys. I have to go read isha so allah hafiz!

@Afridi_Fan get some sleep man!!!! for god sake!
I beg you!!!!!!!

 

[Inswinger]

will get his 50 today

Are you a KU alum or just a fan?

 

[Gollum]

Bhanja will bring his Hong Kong Sixes form to this match

 

[Inswinger]

How many balls will it take for Bhanja to get off the mark?
Mu guess is 11.

 

[Gollum]

Umar Akmal goner.

 

[Poison]

Akmal outttttt
will we get past their total ?

 

[Inswinger]

Umar gone for 21 off 21.

 

[saadjhussain]

traditional collapse

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

A collapse coming...........

 

[farsiddiqui]

Are you a KU alum or just a fan?

I am a KU alum (class of 98)

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Come on Sarfaraz, show Kamran whose the boss!

 

[Poison]

How many balls will it take for Bhanja to get off the mark?
Mu guess is 11.

INCORRRRRRRRRECCT!

 

[Gollum]

Fawad was holding it all together I tell ya! MoYo is Mr. Undependable as usual. It's only a warm up, but Yousuf has to take responsibility for holding the ship together.

 

[Inswinger]

I'm out fellas. Peace





Will check in from time to time via BB.

 

[farsiddiqui]

Sarfaraz had a pretty good series in Australia with the A team (after Umar and Ghani, I think he scored the most runs).

Let's see if we can get a partnership going and prevent a collapse.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

35 runs still needed to go past NZ

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

I would like hime to play atleast 1 test.

 

[Gollum]

Brisk start by Sarfraz! 11 off 11.

 

[farsiddiqui]

I would like hime to play atleast 1 test.

I've been hoping that he get a decent run and that we can alternate between him and Kamran inter-series or intra-series, like we did with Rashid and Moin.

Or play him in the tests, and Kamran in ODI's and T20's. We need the best KEEPER in the tests, as a single dropped catch can completely alter the result. I think Sarfaraz is much better behind the stumps and his batting is not too shabby either (as a FC average of mid-40s suggests)

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Tea: PAKISTAN - 211/6 in 62.0 overs (Faisal Iqbal 4, Sarfraz Ahmed 11)

I completely agree. Kami's workload should be managed and inhis place sarfaraz should get a few games.

 

[Gollum]

I would like hime to play atleast 1 test.

Highly unlikely that Yousuf will dump a senior keeper in favour of a youngster. I agree that he should be given a chance. He should perform better than Akmal at least at the Test level.
