Pakistan v Australia | First Test | Day 3: Session 3 | Lord's

[Sparhawk]

If gets 50 and more importantly if a century, he would earn his place for next Tests... nothing wrong with that...

The thing is that he along with Butt have been consistently giving us good opening partnerships in Test match cricket for past few months now... So its good...

Best of luck to both Butt & Farhat... I pray that both of them get big centuries in this Test match, and in the end Pakistan wins the Test match as well (Ameen)

Yea people act like we have Sehwag and Hayden waiting in the sidelines.. this is the best pair we've got right now unfortunately

 

[azfar wali]

does anyone know How many overs are left today?

 

[srh]

Butt is playing good although his test average is still below than Farhat.

[Energy]

One thing i know he will get taken apart by Umar :umarakmal i ...He is such a rubbish bowler .. A Buffet Spinner

Both openers into the twenties now. That is a good sign.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Congrats Farhat fans. Hes into the 20's

 

[Usman Chadda]

Flashy flashy Imran Farhat. The kind of style he plays with, you would expect him to be half-decent

 

[uzy99]

Good catch by Paine.

Did someone get out?

 

[ZAK]

Single to Butt.

 

[Rana]

Good catch by Paine.

[ZAK]

47/0

 

[LG]

I'm wary of Smith and that rough outside the off stump of left-handers.

 

[srh]

This team is showing lot of will power thanks to Afridi.

 

[Strike!]

Congrats Farhat fans. Hes into the 20's

Farhat has fans?

 

[Energy]

[LG]

Please write it like, good take.

That scaed the hell out of me, it was as if he got caught behind lol

No kidding. I was like, "Here we go again."

 

[Rana]

well done, all fast bowlers have bowled and weve had a look at the spinner. Seem to have settled in, now dont throw it away!

Make a name for yourself, you are blessed to be there!

 

[cricwiz]

Good catch by Paine.

Dont try to play with hearts of MASOOM fellow PPer's

Its known as "Good TAKE by Paine"

Had it been a catch, it would have been alot of Pain

 

[Energy]

Farhat has fans?

Yes he has one and his name is Imran Farhat.

 

[saj001]

Butt needs to get off strike

 

[chui_kadoo]

Farhat has fans?

Im sure there must be plenty of Farhat fans on pakpassion.

 

[Energy]

Maiden by Smith!

 

[Momo]

Farhat has fans?

He has two fans. A Younis Fan and a Millat Fan.

 

[Paradox]

Oh well, look at it this way, the two have scored more than 10% of the runs

 

[uzy99]

Just keep going at this rate. May you succeed.

 

[KingKhanWC]

These two are itching to get after Smith, no need the spinner is bowling while the ball is still new.

 

[Rana]

use your feet to him

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

holding is the best commentator full stop .

he talks so much sense regarding the pak teams over the years that maybe he has a genuine affection for us .

 

[uzy99]

Had it been a catch, it would have been alot of Pain

For real. By the way, awesome comment.

 

[Momo]

393 more to win.

 

[Usman Chadda]

What absolute bakwas from Smith! He is wasting a golden chance of making a name for himself on debut. Just needs to bowl straight

 

[Rana]

He has two fans. A Younis Fan and a Millat Fan.

Millat has a fan?

 

[azfar wali]

Great bowl by MJ

 

[NorthStar]

Jaffa from Johnson.

 

[pakmania]

Well bowled by Mitchell Johnson there.

 

[LG]

Oh well, look at it this way, the two have scored more than 10% of the runs

That's unbelievable.

 

[Paradox]

I hope this isn't just false hope and the weather on Day 4 and Day 5 ends up being like the weather on Day 1 and Day 2.. then we're screwed. Unless there's a LOT of rain of course.

 

[Da Best]

This partnership needs to last at least for 200 more runs.

 

[Rana]

we need a few boundaries here, lets keep the scorecard ticking

 

[Strike!]

Need singles.

 

[iZeeshan]

Let's finish today without losing any wickets, and we'll ssee

 

[uzy99]

keep the commentary update coming you guys. I'm staying away from cricinfo and video streams because I'm afraid I might jinx us.

 

[Momo]

The Aussies are demoralized now. You can almost see defeat written over their faces.

 

[chui_kadoo]

stroked by farhat

 

[zains_rulez]

Easy pitch

its looking like good batting pitch now,

if our 11 player make 40 runs each then we can easily get 440 runs

 

[Sparhawk]

50 up! This is very unexpected

 

[srh]

He has two fans. A Younis Fan and a Millat Fan.

Millat fan is more reliable?

 

[imshally81]

50 up

 

[azfar wali]

Three runs for farhat

 

[chui_kadoo]

50 partnership up

 

[uzy99]

This partnership needs to last at least for 200 more runs.

Yes. We need centuries from both openers to give us an outside chance.

 

[Rana]

too slow

 

[Paradox]

Butt being too flashy, he's been getting out to Smith often nowadays.

 

[Friend786]

50 partnership !

 

[KingKhanWC]

50 partnership.

Need to keep going.

 

[Momo]

50 up! 390 to win. Go Pakistan

 

[Rana]

Farhat dealing in 3's

 

[cricfan967]

50 Partnership up.

 

[Sparhawk]

And its over

 

[Big Mac]

oh Farhat you prat

 

[imshally81]

bad shot and farhat gone.... thanx GOD

 

[PakPassionate]

We need Gutsy batsman like Hanif Mohammad.......Mudassar Nazar.......Shoiab Mohammad......Wajahat ullah Wasti.........Asim Kamal

 

[Oxy]

Farhat you're a disgrace!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Idiotic shot, gave it away after a good start.

 

[Momo]

) Farhat

 

[Gollum]

50 up

 

[Usman Chadda]

First of Smith's many victims in this innings

Imran Farhat ) ) )

 

[saj001]

crap batting by farhat..he didnt even timed/middled one ball in whole of 24 runs he scored.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Damm that 1 down . 5 more to go for Smith to meet my prediction. Hopefully the end of Farhats career. What an awful shot for a test match

 

[Rana]

no big deal, bollinger and hilfenhaus had a 50 partnership as well, standard now on this wicket

 

[shahidrazzaq]

I'm not actually joking when I say this, but Shahid Afridi should come 1-down now.
The captain needs to comfort Salman Butt. Of course, Afridi playing the responsible innings as he did against Sri Lanka, etc.

 

[Strike!]

Stupid shot. Predictable for farhat.

 

[cricwiz]

If Pakistani batsmen doesnt show any brain fart and just stay on the wicket....Let the Aussie bowlers produce outstanding deliveries to take wickets...

All the Pakistani batsmen are stroke makers (dont know about Azhar Ali), but all others are genuine stroke makers... so the key is to keep the patience and no brain fart...

Simply the message should be.. "let the bowlers earn the wickets.. we wont throw any away"..

 

[Gollum]

Farhat with a gift for Smith...
