Pakistan reach 90/1 at Stumps on Day 2 of the 3rd Test in reply to Australia's 391

[imshally81]

So finally Nauman took the first wicket

 

[Kianig89]

Just pray Pakistan batting comes good

 

[Seen Sheen]

I know spinners have been ordinary but Hasan's woeful and toothless bowling has been more damaging.

 

[Shafi]

Starc is better batsman than Imam or even old Fawad. What the point of playing Hasan Ali if he can't take a wicket.

 

[Kianig89]

There's an old saying if 4 bowlers can't do it then 5 will also not
Same goes for Pakistan here

 

[Kianig89]

Aus are in safe territory Pak will have to play exceptionally well here to draw this game as well not to mention victory its all catching up now

 

[arehaan]

Hassan Ali has just become a very big liability and its time to move on from his antics

 

[MenInG]

Nauman Ali get Carey...

[Rana]

Big mistake last night to take the new ball

Pakistan gave their momentum away

 

[Rana]

Ball of the series

 

[Usman Chadda]

This lad has looked head and shoulders above the mediocre Hasan Ali, to be honest maybe even Shaheen Afridi

 

[Seen Sheen]

Only if Hasan had backed up the other two then we might have had Australia on the ropes.
You cant win a test match when only two bowlers show up on flat surfaces.

 

[Mean&Green]

That’s why faheem would have been 100x better than Hassan his amazing line and length would have picked up a couple of wickets Hassan can’t even control his line and length let alone trouble the batsman

 

[imshally81]

Great bowling by Naseem....

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Oh my God what a ball Naseem. That's superstar stuff.

 

[shah_1]

If our spinners weren't so useless, we would have won this match

 

[sam_ahm]

Naseem hs bowled his heart out. I'll be surprised if he gets dropped for Hasan Ali in future.. I think Shaheen, Naseem should be first choice and PAK should also consider trying out M Wasim and Dahani in tests, just see how they go.

 

[Ahmed216]

This lad has looked head and shoulders above the mediocre Hasan Ali, to be honest maybe even Shaheen Afridi

He's shown far better control than shaheen. It was wrong move from babar to remove him after just 3 overs before lunch when he was bowling beautifully

 

[PakPremi]

Leaving out Fahim was a big mistake, he bowled better than Hasan Ali and of course is a useful batsman even if not that consistent. Looking forward to Fawad special, ashe dows not fail in two consecutive tests.

 

[MenInG]

Naseem doing well!

Bowled with a lot of patience and accuracy something shaheen can learn

 

[Rana]

Come on boys under 400 here!

 

[Arsal_AK]

It's a joy to watch Naseem bowl. Such a beautiful action, pace and now quality reverse.

 

[Omer2002]

Unfortunately our team selection has back fired..we should have played a leggie for sure.

To have five out and out bowlers playing with Faddy well out of form I am afraid we are doomed in this test with plenty of time left.

 

[NeVerMind]

Uncle takes a catch finally! Starc out

 

[Pakhs]

Pakistan have played into Australia hands by preparing flat wickets. Australia are actually pretty good on flat wickets, its the spinning tracks they struggle on.

 

[PakPremi]

If Pakistan manage to bowl out Australia under 400 that would be a good effort on this pitch. Pakistan are a batsman short so will depend on their top order to do big scoring for Pakistan to stay in vontention.

 

[Omer2002]

Pakistan have played into Australia hands by preparing flat wickets. Australia are actually pretty good on flat wickets, its the spinning tracks they struggle on.

That is true but to be fair we always produce these tracks so our batters can bat. Its just unfortunate we have lost two important losses.

 

[imshally81]

Bowled emmm..... What a delivery

 

[Rana]

Get one more Naseem so I can torment [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] forever!

 

[Omer2002]

Naseeem what a ballll.....has anybody wondered what will cummins and starc do to us with reverse swing...

 

[Mean&Green]

Thats some lethal fast bowling he’s so young literally a teen and bowled 30 plus overs

 

[Rana]

Leaking Runs Shaheen

 

[Ahmed216]

Atrocious spell of bowling from shaheen. So disappointing

 

[Rana]

Under 400 is Job well done, come on boys!

 

[Rana]

Come on Naseem get 5!

 

[PakPremi]

Get one more Naseem so I can torment [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] forever!

You have plenty to torment him with performances of Shadab, Haris, Babar, Pak vs India T20 etc etc.

 

[Shafi]

By taking 1 wicket Nauman and Sajid are safe for next 3-4 series. Hasan Ali will be in the team no matter how he performs. Fawad & Azhar are expired but they will be in the team for another 2-3 years.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Naseem's old ball bowling skills have made Shaheen look quite ordinary. It seems as if there is zero threat even with the reversing ball when Shaheen is bowling.

 

[imshally81]

Some garbage bowling by Shaheen..

 

[Seen Sheen]

This is absolutely pathetic bowling! Terrible length

 

[imshally81]

391 - All out

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just tuned in , Fantastic bowling by naseem shah, his lengths are so much better.

With SSA and ali, you have 3 good youngsters, Exciting prospects for the future.

 

[Mean&Green]

That’s all you had to do like seriously why were more Yorkers not bowled ridiculous

 

[Rana]

Need to go for an innings win if possible

Bat 2 days and add a 200 run lead

 

[Rana]

Shaun Tait has done what Waqar Younis couldn’t do

 

[MenInG]

Naseem 5fer possible?

[Rana]

Some garbage bowling by Shaheen..

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] says he is already a better bowler than Shoaib Akhtar

 

[sindhiboy]

This was a 440-450 wicket.

Outstanding bowling from Naseem, hope there isn't alot of turn now.

 

[PakPremi]

So have the Australians managed to avoid a defeat in the Test series ? I think they have.

Too early for that as plenty of time left, but I do feel Australia have a better shout at qinnibg this match then Pakistan with euns on the board and Pakistan batsman short and Azhar Ali not dependable any more.

 

[NeVerMind]

Pakistan has the best stats when it comes to cleaning up the tail amongst all the test playing nations since 2015...impressive

 

[Omer2002]

This was a 440-450 wicket.

Outstanding bowling from Naseem, hope there isn't alot of turn now.

i dont think there will be turn but Starc and Cummins...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies have got a good total here. im Sure Aussie bowlers will enjoy reverse swing aswell. Add to that our very long tail. Our top 6 need to get big runs

 

[fieldMarshal]

Best to bat on this wicket day 2 n 3

 

[Amjid Javed]

Naseem deserved a fiver there, shame he didnt get it

 

[imshally81]

First task... Just avoid the follow on..

 

[imshally81]

Pakistan has the best stats when it comes to cleaning up the tail amongst all the test playing nations since 2015...impressive

And we complained all time about it..

 

[imshally81]

Shaun Tait has done what Waqar Younis couldn’t do

Exactly.... Naseem seems another Waqar (Obviously as a bowler not a coach ) in making...

 

[Mainul]

Haasan Ali and Nauman both should be thrown out.

Why Sajid excluded from the list? These 3 have given 235 for only 2 wickets out of 391 runs!!

 

[Markhor]

What are we celebrating - we had AUS 230-5 and they've scored nearly 400 ! We should've bowled them out for less than 350.

The two Unthreatening Uncles Sajid and Nauman need to be turfed out ASAP.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Australia have their noses ahead. 391 on any wicket is a pressure score batting first up.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Pakistan have started at their customary breakneck speed. Opposition can't breathe under the onslaught.

Greenidge/Haynes, Hayden/Langer who?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to rotate strike here, get through new ball.

 

[PakPremi]

Australia have a solid batting line up and upto 10 can bat. So bowling for under 400 is good effor5 on a pitch not offering much with Hasan and Nauman not offering much in bowling too.

 

[Usman Chadda]

What are we celebrating - we had AUS 230-5 and they've scored nearly 400 ! We should've bowled them out for less than 350.

The two Unthreatening Uncles Sajid and Nauman need to be turfed out ASAP.

Please add Hasan Ali to the list, he was largely useless on this track. Pace is down too, not sure what’s up with him at the moment.

 

[Ashmal]

True that....both spinners have been dreadful

 

[Omer2002]

look at the bounce these aussies are getting we didnt get this at all

 

[NeVerMind]

Need to rotate strike here, get through new ball.

Yeah but then reverse swing comes in!

 

[imshally81]

Imam gone... Seems umpires call to me

 

[Omer2002]

that was missing surely...Umpire is useless honestly.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

3rd straight failure for Imam

 

[Omer2002]

what is the point of home umpires when you are not going to get marginal calls ..not seen hawkeye yet but it was either clipping or missing for sure.

 

[Ahmed216]

Future saeed anwar missed a straight delivery by a foot

 

[hafeezrocks]

automatic selection gone.

 

[NeVerMind]

that was missing surely...Umpire is useless honestly.

Hitting leg...plumb

 

[Ahmed216]

Easy win on the cards for aussies. 3 of our six batters include imam azhar and fawad

 

[Omer2002]

ok i was wrong lol hittin leg stump

 

[volcyz]

what is the point of home umpires when you are not going to get marginal calls ..not seen hawkeye yet but it was either clipping or missing for sure.

Lol ‘clipping’

Amazing take

When the whole stumps getting smashed into especially middle and leg

Victim mentality here is amazing

 

[Amjid Javed]

imam falling over to a straight ball. nothing new here.

Nightwatchmen sent in early.

 

[arehaan]

Why Sajid excluded from the list? These 3 have given 235 for only 2 wickets out of 391 runs!!

Sajid has been able to hold one end atleast and very important to have that option against left handers.
