Pakistan v Australia | 1st Test | 25/10/2014 | Dubai (DSC) l Day 4

[akamaka]

Get another 90 runs in the next 15 overs. Declare so you can have 30 overs at aussies today, and 90 overs tmrw.

 

[Hamza_]

YK is a very limited batsman.

 

[Sam18696]

Finally Shehzad

 

[angeldsoul]

finally showing some guts!
If i was captain my message after last night would have been, we need to get 200 in 2 sessions, even if we lose 9 wickets, forget about avergaes we need to give 400 ish lead and have 120 overs to bowl at aussies, surely managing 200 in 2 sessions and not worry about averages at all is possible for pak!

 

[saiyan0312]

shezad on 90,s now.

 

[Sam18696]

good from shehzad

 

[Sherlock]

YK is a very limited batsman.

You what?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Some trolls are getting hammered again and again

 

[Pete Rose]

Good shot, all timing

 

[Hamza_]

You what?

No timing, Just grinds it out and that is why he is successful in tests.

 

[Aman]

Australian spinners

421/6.

 

[MRSN]

No timing, Just grinds it out and that is why he is successful in tests.

True. Those people asking for his comeback should be ready for such torture.

 

[Aman]

Australian pacers

177/4

 

[saiyan0312]

The ideal mark was 400 till tea so we need 80 in 14 overs.

 

[Hamza_]

You what?

Look how clueless your YK is right now.

 

[steelo green]

Would take bhatti over hammad. I prefer a bowling allrounder vs a batting allrounder,

Hammad has a pretty good FC bowling record and has improved every season.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Australian spinners

421/6.

Imagine what will happen to yours.

 

[Ikball]

Pak batting score looking good. But at the same time i m worried will pakistani bowlers be able to win this match?

 

[Hamza_]

True. Those people asking for his comeback should be ready for such torture.

Even in his century against SA in 2013. He feasted on poor Peterson and grinded out against Pace trio.

 

[Aman]

Imagine what will happen to yours.

It will take some effort to do worse than that, don't see us doing worse tbh. We may match it, but we shouldn't do worse than it.

 

[MRSN]

YK please get out.

 

[Sherlock]

Look how clueless your YK is right now.

I'm not his relative. I just appreciate him, unlike yourself. He may look "clueless" right now but his SR isn't bad, is it?!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Both Shehzad and YK having similar Strike Rate. How is that even possible

 

[Red Devil]

Australians easily have the worst spinners in the world right now.

 

[Mamoon]

You what?

You can be limited and still great in Test cricket. You can afford to grind.

That is the major reason why he's so dreadful in ODIs.

 

[Zaz]

how many overs left in day?

 

[Mamoon]

We are 30 runs short of what we should have been at this stage.

 

[Mamoon]

how many overs left in day?

44.

 

[Aman]

Australians easily have the worst spinners in the world right now.

Fair enough if you're giving it air and getting taken to, to get wickets but they're going for runs and not picking up wickets

 

[Pete Rose]

Hammad has a pretty good FC bowling record and has improved every season.

What I saw of hammad when he played last was a steady bowler but a better batsman. The kind that will focus more on batting once part of the Pakistan line up. Bhatti, to me seemed like an out and out fast bowler with awful economy (early days) and capable of bashing 30 odd.

 

[MRSN]

YK, Asad Shafiq and Misbah are only good to smock spinners. Not required in the ODIs

 

[aukhan]

Ahmed reached to his domestic average...

 

[Arsal_AK]

Even in his century against SA in 2013. He feasted on poor Peterson and grinded out against Pace trio.

You need to re watch the innings.The guy has four tons against SA and you don't do that by being poor against pace.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Australians easily have the worst spinners in the world right now.

No, they don't.SA and NZ especially take the cake.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

A quick question to Aussie supporters...

Will Australia go for the win or try to draw this match provided target is around 400 runs?

 

[MRSN]

You can be limited and still great in Test cricket. You can afford to grind.

That is the major reason why he's so dreadful in ODIs.

What about Misbah and Asad Shafiq? I don't see much difference tbh.

 

[Mamoon]

Hammad can do a job for 6/7 overs in the middle overs by bowling a tight line and using off-cutters. He should model his bowling on the likes of Mathews and McLaren.

 

[Sherlock]

You can be limited and still great in Test cricket. You can afford to grind.

That is the major reason why he's so dreadful in ODIs.

Exactly my point. Why criticise him in this match? His 100 in the first innings helped Pakistan out of the hole yet you get ignorant posts like above. No one said he should be back for ODIs, we playing a Test so I don't know why that statement was made tbh

 

[Mamoon]

What about Misbah and Asad Shafiq? I don't see much difference tbh.

Shafiq has a wider range. He's our best batsman against pace and pretty decent against spin.

Misbah is too limited.

 

[Zaz]

Need to expand the scoring a bit now

 

[asifp]

9 wickets in hand. Surely you need to be playing at 6-7 an over now for the next 10 overs and declare.

Gotta show some aggression. 1 run/over at this stage is unacceptable.

 

[Mamoon]

Exactly my point. Why criticise him in this match? His 100 in the first innings helped Pakistan out of the hole yet you get ignorant posts like above. No one said he should be back for ODIs, we playing a Test so I don't know why that statement was made tbh

I agree. He has been exceptional in this game.

 

[aukhan]

YK please get out.

akmal and his fans

 

[Asif321]

Yk playing for.50 yaar neend agayi isko dekh ke

 

[Aman]

No, they don't.SA and NZ especially take the cake.

Pakistani spinners would be pretty poor if they had to play the majority of their cricket on the flat wickets of NZ or Aus.

 

[Mamoon]

You need to re watch the innings.The guy has four tons against SA and you don't do that by being poor against pace.

Younis has great temperament and can survive and grind it out against pace, but he lacks the fluency and shots to dominate them. Not the greatest timer of the ball.

 

[Red Devil]

No, they don't.SA and NZ especially take the cake.

Imran Tahir was taking wickets for fun against the same opposition, on the same venue.

 

[asifp]

so how many balls will Ahmed Shehzad to get his 10 runs?

 

[MRSN]

1 run in last 10 balls by YK. This is beyond pathetic.

 

[saiyan0312]

shezad wanted to smash that one but changed his mind and tuked it to point.

 

[aukhan]

Yk playing for.50 yaar neend agayi isko dekh ke

just like Shehzad playing for his 100.

 

[m.shah]

171/1

 

[Asif321]

they are going slow again

 

[Aman]

Clarke needs to keep the pacers on till Pakistan declare, the longer he keeps them on the less overs they will have to bat.

Spinners are too easy for them.

 

[asifp]

We need atleast 120-130 overs to bowl Australia out. Need to get a move on.

What is the purpose of playing tuk tuk right now, just go for it. Smash runs lose wickets , make your 70-80 runs in 10 overs.

 

[Asif321]

selfish stuff by both specially shahzad

 

[Sam18696]

Too slow..

 

[asifp]

they are going slow again

Shehzhad is going to play for his 100 first, then think about the win. We wll know that is how he operates

 

[aukhan]

1 run in last 10 balls by YK. This is beyond pathetic.

Shehzad blocked 11 balls in a row if you were counting his dots.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Amazing shot by YK

 

[Sam18696]

whatta shot

50 for yk

 

[shaaik]

Where has that come from [emoji15]

[saiyan0312]

hello. what a shot that is. 50 for younis khan. Can he make 2 hundreds in a test.

 

[Ikball]

Well played YK bhai

 

[akamaka]

Yk needs to stay and rotate strike while shehzad needs to start getting a few boundaries, promote Sir Fraz up the order also.

 

[Asif321]

Why are waqar and moin laughing

 

[asifp]

this is unbelievably annoying.

9 wickets left and they are doing tuk tuk. What the hell!

 

[Arsal_AK]

What a shot that was.

 

[asifp]

I am sure someone must have told them at the drinks break that you need to get 60-70 more runs then just declare.

 

[Big Mac]

Message will have come from the dressing room to get a move on. Younus will hopefully move up a gear now he's got the fifty out of the way

 

[Sam18696]

by shehzad

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Well on that note .. I am going away for an hour.

I fully expect Pakistan to be batting when I join back after tea.

 

[Big Mac]

Message will have come from the dressing room to get a move on. Younus will hopefully move up a gear now he's got the fifty out of the way

haha first ball launched into the sightscreen, message received loud and clear

 

[Sam18696]

Commentators saying selfless batting by Shehzad

 

[Asif321]

60 more runs needed

 

[Mamoon]

Selfless batting by Shehzad.

 

[aukhan]

3 more needed.

 

[Sam18696]

Cmon Shehzad

 

[blackanhyellow]

if people like strike rates of 150 go watch t20s.

Theyr going at over 4 r.p.o in the last 10-15 overs or so and people are still complaining

 

[Sam18696]

Swing and a miss
