Fine effort !

 

[Desi]

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was tense - glad we survived it

 

[pakmania]

I had my balls in my mouth during that last ball

[iZeeshan]

That was out, technically.

But good umpiring.

 

[pakmania]

Damn that was out!

Wasnt there an inside edge ?

 

[Inswinger]

114-1
Good job by these two. We need this partnership to continue for another 2 sessions.

 

[dhump]

uff shukar hay Allah reham karay kal first session will be really really important.

 

[hashbb]

finally some descions going our way

 

[anakwalajinn]

Haha I am gonna watch that T20 game now =P

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great effort.

Proud of the fighting spirit so far. First session will decide where this match is going.

 

[iZeeshan]

Good Azhar Ali got a life, now he will be even more cautious and play on.

So here are my predictions.

Butt 201*
Azhar 71
Afridi 109

 

[Daytripped]

Well played. Why is pakistan so unpredictable? On any other day the score would've been 114/6 ... not that i'm complaining.

 

[Khabri420]

I had my balls in my mouth during that last ball

You must be a jinn

 

[Desire]

azhar ali lucky!!!

 

[pakmania]

Glad we survived that last session ! Big relief but must build on this good start tomorrow and not let it go to waste.Come on you Markhors !

Pakistan Zindabad !

 

[PB]

Wasnt there an inside edge ?

Hot spot said, it didn't touch the bat, and if it did, it was after the pad..

So good thing, the decision went our way.

 

[chui_kadoo]

both Farhat and Azhar had a lucky break from the umpires

 

[Momo]

Azhar was lucky! I will take it.

Well played Pakistan. Played like Markhors. The match is there for the taking now, Inshaallah.

 

[Daytripped]

Good Azhar Ali got a life, now he will be even more cautious and play on.

So here are my predictions.

Butt 201*
Azhar 71
Afridi 109

say INSHALLAH please

 

[Paradox]

Phew.

 

[Desire]

o god o god i cant stop laughting @ ainakwalajin's statement

 

[Awesome_Username]

Good Azhar Ali got a life, now he will be even more cautious and play on.

So here are my predictions.

Butt 201*
Azhar 71
Afridi 109

Oh bhai, Don't get Azhar out that quickly. Let him get a 100 too atleast.

 

[Khabri420]

Need to start from scratch tomorrow though. First hour will again be crucial. They need to focus on occupying the crease. The runs will come once they are set again.

Well played though

Still a lot of work to be done!

 

[uzy99]

Finally we had something go our way. Good day boys.

 

[amachq]

If pak scored around 370 and Pak looses tht will be no shame for Pakistan. Atleast Pak shuld give a fighting total. All the pressure On afridi and Kami cant rely on young Lads..

 

[Solid Snake]

Pakistan very lucky not to be two down! But good effort by the batsmen so far!

 

[d0gers]

Salman Butt scoring update:

51 off 86 balls

Dots: 66
Singles: 7
Twos: 4
Fours: 9

Well played Butt. Just wish you'd rotate the strike more.

Salman Butt scoring update:

58 off 118 balls

Dots: 93
Singles: 10
Twos: 6
Fours: 9

He's done well. Puts a price on his wicket. Though the 80/20 block/score ratio could probably be closer together.

 

[Stewie]

Azhar was lucky! I will take it.

Well played Pakistan. Played like Markhors. The match is there for the taking now, Inshaallah.

How can you say that??? we need 326 not 126 with 9 wickets in hand.


I think we face a very very tough task... we need both of them to score centuries and then you can say we have a chance.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Well done, Salman and Azhar.
Here's hoping they will bat throughout the first session tomorrow!

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

phew..........


tomorrow morning is crucial .......

umar amin interview on bbc now.

Depends so much on the weather too. If it remains sunny, this is a phatta track. If it is cloudy, then it will be a tough ask.

Well played so far!

 

[Nen]

Got to love the new Pakistani team, that won't go down without a fight. Proud of you, guys.

 

[jawad1]

well played

 

[Seen Sheen]

That was out, technically.

But good umpiring.

,Come on...That looked out in real time...accept that He and(we) got a lucky escape in the end....

Bad umpiring continues in this test....

 

[RehanG]

Got to love the new Pakistani team, that won't go down without a fight. Proud of you, guys.

lol come back tommorow during lunch time

 

[1two3]

Wasnt there an inside edge ?

Technically Its was out but not given because, It was pitched out side of off stump and swinging in. And Most importantly Azhar Offered a Shot to that delivery which actually saved him on this occasion...

 

[iZeeshan]

Azhar would have to be terribly unlucky to have that given out after all the decisions in this test.

Plus, there was just too much uncertainty.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

lol come back tommorow during lunch time

Yeah yeah stick to the negativity.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Agree about the weather. Cloudy and aus should win, sunny then you never know.

 

[ahmed16]

Azhar Ali gets a life, plumb?

 

[Bilsher007]

Asalaam alikum wr wb,

That last ball from hilfenhous was scary to watch, azhar perhaps got lucky. I initially thought that the ball was doing too much and going down leg.


Salman once again applied himself like a real test batsman should. If it is sunny tommorow and wicket remains flat then i hope that salman goes onto get 150 INSHALLAH. Azhar batted well but with some nerves, he needs to illuminate assertive and unfazed body language so that aussies don't pick on him by placing short midwicket and short mid on positions !

Pakistan can battle on courageously provided concentration levels are high and consistent and we keep alert to ponting's innovative tactics.
