I finally found something you guys suck at as much as we do.....

Spin bowling

 

[hamzie]

whens declaration boys?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Brilliant 100 by sarfraz well played!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

MashaAllah!! What a Legend!!!!!!!!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

450 - 500 looks plausible now ..........

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Great match winning century

more like Match drawing one

 

[m.shah]

well played

 

[Nikhil_cric]

from cricinfo

Mirza Muhammad : "Story of Sarfraz's 100 today..... sweep...cut shots...sweep...cut shot...sweep...cut shots...sweep...cut shot... Straight drive..Pul..sweep...cut shots...sweep...cut shot...cover drive..paddle..sweep..cut shot..."

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Gets to century. Fantastic. I hope he remembers his primary job. That's where most wicket keepers for Pakistan let themselves down .

yep, that will be the bigger test. He did well being the stumps in the ODIs though, remains to be seen if he can carry it here

 

[zabalestmsm]

Hundred for O'Keefe

 

[Bullet Drive]

What an innings.

 

[shaaik]

New ball is still 20 overs .. Good Time to pound more misery on Aussie bowlers

[Bullet Drive]

No need for declaration.

Make 550.

 

[Suleiman]

Pretty much the entire middle order stepped up in this innings.

I finally found something you guys suck at as much as we do.....

Spin bowling

But they still had the greatest spin bowler ever

 

[Amjid Javed]

Should be aiming for 500 here asap and then get the Aussies in

 

[shaaik]

Here comes Mitch ... Let's see how our tail fares against him...

Pakistan RR now 3.2

 

[ScotRaz]

From Cricinfo Being compared to the great AG

"Micko: "An incredible innings... has taken a docile looking score and made it into something that will take some chasing. It is the same kind of aggressive innings that Gilchrist used to play for Australia... different shots, but same kind of aggression." Here's Johnson"

 

[MRSN]

great reaction from Waqar stay there boyy haha.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I hope Pakistan bowl well ....... It is a good chance for Pakistan.

 

[Asif321]

messi looks awesome batsmen

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan have already today scored more runs than whole day yesterday. Well played.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Two of the most improved cricketers in the world facing off against each other.

 

[hamzie]

No need for declaration.

Make 550.

nah man

they look tired already

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

all sarfraz needs to do is block and stay. let yasir score now.

 

[Sam18696]

Sir

That celebration

 

[Asif321]

WAIT DEREEeeeeeeee!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Need to see out MJ and continue punishing the others, declare and then 10-15 overs at the Aussies with the new ball.

 

[Mir jibran]

now their aim should be to score 500 runs and then declare

 

[Sam18696]

I guess they will declare at tea

 

[Convict]

I finally found something you guys suck at as much as we do.....

Spin bowling

Good call.

Though Warne, MacGill, Benaud, O'Reilly and Grimmett show there is a place for leg spinners.

Muirhead will be the one

 

[Bullet Drive]

Can Sarfaraz get a double here?

 

[Bullet Drive]

[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]

I also think Boyce looks decent.

Would u have selected Fawad Ahmed ?

 

[hamzie]

I guess they will declare at tea

just before tea im hoping
have a good 5 overs or so at them

 

[Asif321]

Highest Test score for Sarfaraz congratulations

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Scored at 5 an over today. Great acceleration from Pakistan. No way AUS are winning this. Either PAK win or draw(If AUS bat well)

 

[MRSN]

Come on Messi. Get going now.

 

[Pete Rose]

While Clarke will always be a better captain than Misbah: I think Misbah has been quite brave in this test:
- selected 5 bowlers at the expense of bringing one more batsman
- opened the pAkistan innings with tailender as pinch hitter
We should acknowledge creative captaincy when we see it

 

[Alchemy]

Oh my god ramiz is here.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

You must be a serious Shafiq hater. Didn't praise him once while he was playing, but went on and on about Sarfraz .
It was still a great innings, give credit where it's due.

NO.!!I am Not a Hater.!! But Lets see if he can get one more similar innings in the entire series, rather than his usual consistency in getting 10's and 20's after making a 50+

 

[Sam18696]

Yasir gone

 

[Alchemy]

Century for Okeefe. )

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good to see SA farming the strike in the right fashion.

 

[shaaik]

Yasa what hv u done here

[JibranAnsari]

Stupid shot and out.

 

[Adil_94]

Ramiz strikes again.

 

[Madplayer]

Oh my god ramiz is here.

you said it

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Messi gone - stick to Football man

 

[Bullet Drive]

Stupid shot.

 

[shaaik]

Rambo has done it again ...

[IAJ]

was no need for that. You are on debut, just stay out there and let sarfraz do the big scoring.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ramiz Raja takes another wicket.

 

[Convict]

[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]

I also think Boyce looks decent.

Would u have selected Fawad Ahmed ?

Ahmed is a mediocre journeyman with out the talent to take the step up.

The fact that he's blocking Muirhead from developing his game in shield (when Victoria are weak anyway) is irritating.

 

[Adil_94]

Raja is beating his chest

 

[Alchemy]

you said it

I know man. That guy is a jinx.

 

[Markhor]

LOL you could hear a solitary Aussie fan shouting "Na na na na hey hey hey goodbye !"

 

[Bullet Drive]

Tail is rubbish from now. Sarfaraz should farm strike.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Zulfiqer Baber is a serious talent . Average of 27 for a bowler!!!

 

[Adil_94]

Pathetic shot by Yasir. Just hang in there and support Sarfraz Gilchrist.

 

[Sam18696]

Ramiz should be banned from commentary.. He is the biggest jinx I have ever seen

 

[shehzadd]

Johnson is exposed here, only to bowl with new ball and to tailenders

 

[Adil_94]

The person singing Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye sounds so creepy in this empty stadium.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

pakistan should bat another 20 overs and then give australia to bat the remaining 20 overs for today... tha aussies look very tired, pakistan can cash in the weather and make the best use of it... surely aussies will lose 2-3 wickets if they bat today later in the evening...

 

[Asif321]

what to do next

 

[Madplayer]

jhonson bowling well here

 

[Adil_94]

Sarfraz should farm the strike and try getting us to 500.

 

[MRSN]

Baber vs spin..this will be fun..

 

[AFM]

Geez, how good is MJ? 30 overs in this heat, and still bowling with serious pace.

 

[Adil_94]

Johnson will demolish the tail. Sarfraz must keep them away from the strike.

 

[Sam18696]

Match has gotten boring. Ab tou declare kardo

 

[Madplayer]

why will u take a single against jhonson to expose the tail

 

[Sam18696]

Blood

 

[steelo green]

Oh maang...

 

[akamaka]

damn

 

[Alchemy]

Match has gotten boring. Ab tou declare kardo

Should score as much we can. Second innings on this pitch would be dangerous.

 

[imshally81]

Injured

 

[Madplayer]

wasnt a very dangerous ball but that was one poor way to play it.
