[*sallu*]

 

[GOAT]

I'm not convinced you're good luck sallu.

 

[Syndrome]

Good job bro.

 

[kkmix]

Dudeee close the tread.

 

[iHammad]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[*sallu*]

What did Younis Khan do?

I'm devastated, he was doing to win it for us

Now, they'll play for a draw 10000%

 

[iHammad]

 

[iHammad]

114 to win, last session.

C'mon Misbah, Asad, Adnan, Wahab, Gul!!

 

[GOAT]

114 with 6 wickets in hand, we're still firm favourites, its our game to lose here folks.

Just gotta make sure Asad isn't out too early, a little partnership there + some shots from Adnan should be enough to take us over the line. Otherwise, play for the draw. series win either way.

 

[SIMBA]

That was painful watching Yk get out.

Tho, we still got 80% chance of lifting that cup (series win inshallah)

 

[iRfaN_LA]

This will test Asad. I hope we can win We must come out positive.

 

[PakCrikNeedsFixin]

Asad not the best at facing spin

 

[oracleg]

Adnan better play the innings of his life. He's in the side ahead of Umar Akmal to provide some stability so it's time he proved himself in a pressure situation.

No demons in the pitch, mediocre bowling, lovely weather for batting. Why on earth are we messing this up.

 

[SIMBA]

Instead of Shafiq coming next- I would make tanvir come.

I may sound crazy but this may work and there wil be less pressure and a good partnership could give us some time to attack later on and go for the win. Tanvir has got a good technique so could stay in there for some time.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Inshallah a win today! Gotta believe in YOASELLF!

 

[KingKhanWC]

YK was playing superbly but now it's time to attack early on in the session or else NZ will put a lot of pressure on.

I would send Gul in next to slog sweep a few sixes.

 

[cricfan4ever]

YK getting out is a big blow...still plenty of overs left...we must play positive and go for the win!!!

 

[Rizie]

how many overs left?

 

[GOAT]

Maybe Adnan before Asad? I wouldn't risk it though, NZ will smell the fear if we send in anyone other than Asad. Great time for the lad to keep his head on and play a very important innings.

 

[*sallu*]

32.3

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

how many overs left?

I think 32-33 overs.

 

[Friend786]

how many overs left?

32.2 overs

 

[Toe Crusher]

I can't believe this...

while all the positivety is great ^, I'm just feeling mega nervous.... this could also completely go the other way... pressure, 1-2 wickets.... collapse could happen...

or.... stand and be counted.... someone become a HERO!!

 

[Kriketer]

Well played Yonus, now lets see what others are made of.

 

[nads_rocks]

So just before Tea a ball Younis should have left ended up in a wicket, instead of having a go at him commend him to get us into this position.

Great innings both 1st which was unluckt and 2nd, he missed out on a century which he so deserved.

114 runs with 6 wickets, that of Asad, Adnan, Gul, Wahab, Tanvir. Rahman.

A solid captain at the crease well set.

The win is definitely on all we need is 2 x 50 run partnerships and Misbah to stay there.

For me draw is out of equation, the win is on and win it will be!

 

[TigerJat]

the required rate is around 3 still, so not out of the realm of possibility, but knowing Misbah, he will probably go fo rhte draw now.

 

[AZ]

screw the win, just don't lose a wicket till drinks.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

dang i was hoping for a century, got out just at the wrong time.

 

[PakCrikNeedsFixin]

They are going to be mouthing off to Asad as well. Hope the lad can do us proud under pressure

 

[Iftikhar_Hussain]

22 extras by Pakistan yesterday in 2nd inning is really hurting now .. otherwise it will be less then 100 to chase in last session .. these extras will cost us a match or may be result in draw as well

 

[Watsupdoc]

I think Pak will still go with same tactic one batsman attacks the other defends. I have a feeling that Misbah is gonna play some shots.

 

[*sallu*]

I think win is very difficult now, but I also think loss is very difficult

But 1 crucial factor will be the new ball in the last 10 overs of the day

 

[90MPH]

I had planned to stay up all night till Younis played that awful shot before tea. But still well played.

I think win looks unlikely now, but just hope I don't wake up tomorrow to another collapse. I will take a draw and a series win.

 

[Friend786]

need to go at 3.5+ rpo to win

 

[talha3]

screw the win, just don't lose a wicket till drinks.

This.

 

[TNA]

century by a Pakistani batsman,

Back to back test match victory,

whitewash

What a day it could've been if Younis hadn't got out...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Ah well - we drew, finally won a test series

 

[hashbb]

why did PP go down?

 

[Cover Drive]

Some technical issues anyways its back up so lets enjoy

Game over, thread closed
