[Lara400]

Farhat the fisher Gone

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

hilfy in the real threat..

 

[iZeeshan]

And Farhat loses the plot

Gone

Great delivery though

 

[Khabri420]

Good stuff. There is no hurry. Need to play out the crucial time till lunch. Runs will come with time - wickets are KEY

 

[deviously~fading~away]

farhat goes trying to play a shot down the ground

 

[Sakss]

farhat gone....as expected hes gone cheaply

 

[Strike!]

Imran )

What a joke.

 

[hashbb]

Chalo

 

[ads101]

good ball by hilfenhaus .. farhat gone ...

to be honest it's not like it was unexpected lol

 

[dblock]

solid start from the openers here..

Spoke just that little bit too soon I think.

 

[akbarc1]

Farhat does what he's good at. Fishing outside off stump and getting the edge.

 

[ZAK]

 

[pak4life]

an airy fairy nothing shot from a nothing player

 

[Khabri420]

Great.....

Just as I mention..Farhat decides to go

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

oh ffs!!!..farhat gone

 

[Friend786]

azhar ali.................

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/11 | 6.1 Overs | Trail by 242 runs

First wicket for Ben Hilfenhaus and Australia.

 

[iZeeshan]

to be honest it's not like it was unexpected lol

I wasn't expecting it either. I was expecting a nice opening partnership.

Unlucky, that was an excellent delivery.

Better luck next innings to these two.

 

[IMMY69]

Bad bad shot from farhat - where was his feet movement???

 

[deviously~fading~away]

did ur opener not see how panicked ponting was at not getting an early wicket! Fahat just took all that pressure off Australians

 

[hashbb]

please no collapse

 

[MIG]

As I said yesterday - its a sad indictment on the quality of our cricket when we consider Farhat to be one of the best batsman that Pakistan has to offer!

 

[Black Zero]

I was expecting him to score a big 20.

 

[WasimWaqarInzy]

Farhat fails again.

 

[akamaka]

gone, farhat same as usual gets caught behind.

 

[Sakss]

azhar ali debut time...come boy show your worth

 

[ShehryarK]

Good stuff. There is no hurry. Need to play out the crucial time till lunch. Runs will come with time - wickets are KEY

Aap ne nazar laga di

 

[Bailan]

I think one mystery for Sherlock homes can be finding out how farhat keeps getting back in the team .... again and again and again and again.

this man is less useful than a half torn shoe box cover

 

[MIG]

Bismillah for Azhar Ali...

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

who is in is it Azhar??

 

[Khabri420]

Let's see what Azhar Ali has to offer. Lot of mixed reviews on this fella

 

[Da Best]

Umar Amin, Azhar Ali and Umar Akmal next batsmen. This is going to be great or completely this opposite.

 

[adnan yasin]

to be honest it's not like it was unexpected lol

haha... i know .. it was expected from farhat...

point was it was a good ball.. teasing length

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Imran just doing what he is good at........plonker!

 

[ZAK]

Azhar Ali is the new man in.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor shot from Farhat. No surprise really! Never moves his feet!

Azhar Ali will have to battle here!

 

[MIG]

I think one mystery for Sherlock homes can be finding out how farhat keeps getting back in the team .... again and again and again and again.

this man is more less useful than a half torn shoebox cover

The answer , my friend, is 42

 

[siccric]

This should be interesting now...


Let's see what the 'future of Pakistan cricket' has to offer

 

[Friend786]

first test run for ali !

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

I think one mystery for Sherlock homes can be finding out how farhat keeps getting back in the team .... again and again and again and again.

this man is more less useful than a half torn shoebox cover

he will be selected again and again and again unless the selection committee has changed..

 

[adnan yasin]

AZHAR ALI backfoot punch for single

first runs... of his career

 

[akbarc1]

Azhar gets his first test run

 

[ShehryarK]

As I said yesterday - its a sad indictment on the quality of our cricket when we consider Farhat to be one of the best batsman that Pakistan has to offer!

Indeed.

If Imran Farhat is one of the five best batsmen in Pakistan, then I'm a Dutchman.

 

[Sakss]

off the mark.....cmon boy 99 more

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

in comes the debutant azhar.....good luck!

 

[Khabri420]

Azhar Ali off the mark

 

[ZAK]

Azhar Ali gets off the mark with a single.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

I wasn't expecting it either. I was expecting a nice opening partnership.

Unlucky, that was an excellent delivery.

Better luck next innings to these two.

do you know how many excellent deliveries the australians survived off pakistan. this is test cricket players need to survive excellent deliveries rather than get out to them. otherwise that can stick to T20 cricket!

 

[MIG]

Bismillah for Azhar Ali...

and a hearty Mubarak to him for his first run in Test Cricket - Jeetay Raho Beta!

 

[akbarc1]

4 more for salman butt

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar gets his 1st test run. Big INNS need from Butt here!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

salman back on strike now.......

 

[DonJee]

Indeed.

If Imran Farhat is one of the five best batsmen in Pakistan, then I'm a Dutchman.

What wrong with being a Dutchman, unless ofcourse you mean from the Pirate of the Caribbean?

 

[Da Best]

I wonder how many non English debuts have debuted at Lords.

 

[adnan yasin]

nice drive through covers by butt.... enough legs to reach the boundary

 

[Sakss]

shot butt......

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/16 | 7 Overs | Trail by 237 runs

Another four for Butt.

 

[ZAK]

Butt needs to guide the debutant and try to farm the strike so that Azhar has a chance to settle in.

 

[pak4life]

classic butt just a push in the covers for 4

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

nice way to end the over.....4444444444 !

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

partnership needed atleat a 50 run partnership

 

[ZAK]

16/1

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

7 gone 16/1

 

[hur rizvi]

Good ball from doggie

 

[IAJ]

Tim Paine looks like a 12 years old boy

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

azhar now up agianst bolly.

 

[dblock]

Pace hovering around the 90mph mark, not as much swing as yesterday that say Aamer got.

 

[adnan yasin]

he is looking nervous .. (AZHAR ALI) as expected

 

[ZAK]

Beaten!

 

[iZeeshan]

do you know how many excellent deliveries the australians survived off pakistan. this is test cricket players need to survive excellent deliveries rather than get out to them. otherwise that can stick to T20 cricket!

That;s a fair point.

But people have to realize that these two have been the most successful opening pair in recent times and did decently well in NZ/Aus so why change that?

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 four Butt to end the over

Pak 16/1

 

[hur rizvi]

Nervous times for Azhar Ali

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

bolly bowling nicely here.

 

[akamaka]

What Australia did very well was farm the strike, by taking regular singles, also since it is a rh and lh combination it will upset the bowlers.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

a few nerves for the debutant!

 

[hur rizvi]

Come on Azhar ....

 

[adnan yasin]

double
to azhar ali ..

 

[Friend786]

Tim Paine looks like a 12 years old boy

his nickname is kid !

 

[Amjid Javed]

Time to Drop Anchor here and fight and stick in while balls still swinging!
