[161]

excellent session by yk and farhat ... these two must realize that they need to save there wickets as we will need them vs the new ball tomorrow morning !

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Yk's arrival really helped to calm Farhat, good batting by both.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

The should get plenty overs in as light hasn't been a problem last few days

 

[PlanetPakistan]

excellent session by yk and farhat ... these two must realize that they need to save there wickets as we will need them vs the new ball tomorrow morning !

shouldn't be so negative

 

[Amjid Javed]

We are still 111 runs behind, essentially we need to bat till close of play and not lose a wicket! well done nomi and Yk.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

The should get plenty overs in as light hasn't been a problem last few days

25-30?
If that's the case then we'll be up to 68.....12 overs before the new ball which that the batsmen wont have to face the new ball at 9:30 in the morning!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

31 overs lest so we should get at least 25 in so yeah won't have to face the new ball today

 

[161]

shouldn't be so negative

considering what happened in the morning session of day 2...

 

[Hash]

Great stuff from these two.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

[UJ]

[SUPERSAMI]

Wicket maiden, 124/2

 

[Amjid Javed]

Farhat needs to stay there.. we cant afford two new batsmen @ crease!

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

MoYo is in the form of his life at the moment.. inshallah he can keep it going and Farhat just
needs to carry on and not do what his always done for a long time which is give in wicket away ..

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Farhat chases a wide one, needs to keep his cool!

 

[161]

does farhat ever learn ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Farhat dropped, his 1st wild shot of inns!

chanderpaul drops a sitter.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Farhat almost caught chasing a wide one, Shiv drops it

 

[161]

no matter how much he scores .. farhat must be dropped from pak squad !!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lack of runs and strike rotation getting to Farhat here...!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Maiden 124/2

 

[Amjid Javed]

no matter how much he scores .. farhat must be dropped from pak squad !!!

and who do you suggest as a replacment whose going to improve the side?

majid khan? saeed anwar? amir sohail?

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Yousuf spanks Dave for 4, 128/2

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moyo off mark with 4

 

[Hash]

no matter how much he scores .. farhat must be dropped from pak squad !!!

think he should be chased around the dressing room with a danda first

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 more even better shot then the 1st one.

moyo onto 8*

 

[Hash]

and who do you suggest as a replacment whose going to improve the side?

Amjid Javed

 

[SUPERSAMI]

[SUPERSAMI]

[Amjid Javed]

Amjid Javed

I am a bowler / lower order lasher

 

[xbox]

One thing that you can never trust Imran. You always have this feeling he will get out any minute. Atleast with Salman Butt or other openners you don't have hat problem. They may have wrong technique but once set you can trust them. With Farhat its crazy

 

[161]

and who do you suggest as a replacment whose going to improve the side?

majid khan? saeed anwar? amir sohail?

yasir hameed.

i always thought he was much more technically correct batsman than farhat (along with being a much better batsman on seeming wickets where farhat is CLUELESS)

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Sweet cover drive by Yousuf for 4, 137/2

 

[Hash]

Yousuf is looking like he wants to absolutely smash the windies to bits.
