[Veteran]

New ball coming up. Can these two weather it? I haven't given up hope yet.

 

[COMEBACKID]

yeah we can see that we can rely on imran farhat and afridi and we will be test number 1 in no time

 

[Friend786]

new ball will rip through the remaining batsmen !

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

252/6

 

[Khabri420]

189 to get.

Keep at it. We need to get as many runs as we can.

 

[Strike!]

Aamer is struggling to play the ball out there.

 

[aqeelPK]

[COMEBACKID]

new ball will rip through the remaining batsmen !

it's now time to just let it go

 

[COMEBACKID]

[ZAK]

253/6

 

[hur rizvi]

Oh well done now we will loose by less than 200

 

[COMEBACKID]

atleast make 400 lol

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

Why cant we beat them man why its just heart breaking to watch as fans every test we get our ass kicked this is becoming a joke seriously in new zealand and sri lanka cant we win for once i think they fear australia but australia isnt what is use to be so take advantage of that man

Brother i know exactly how you feel, and probarbly every single fan does, the ausutralian attack is nowhere near what it used to be, ( just imagine what would happen if it was), its just the brainless pakistani batsman making these bowlers look good, especially north, honestly i would think ponting gave hima bowl just to try his luck!

I will probarbly die before i see pakistan team the best test nation, ( i am only 23 at the moment!)

 

[Energy]

Why is Rameez not coming on commentary now?

 

[COMEBACKID]

Their right when they say we are unpredictable after such a good start now look at us

 

[hur rizvi]

MArcus north = man of the match


He might pick a 8fer

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan just need to drag this out as long as poss and try to maybe get 300-40 some how!

 

[hur rizvi]

Their right when they say we are unpredictable after such a good start now look at us

No man we are not un predictable any more we have been doing same thing through out last one year

 

[nish_mate]

I will probarbly die before i see pakistan team the best test nation, ( i am only 23 at the moment!)

Aise naa bolo yaar. We Indian used to get kicked around in the 80's and 90's...but now we are there.

Hum ne bhi bahot zillat sahi thi..honsla rakho mere dost...

 

[Energy]

Amir gets a 4.

 

[Paradox]

I'm not 'defending' Afridi - I just said that's how he bats. You can't change it. If we need 50 to win in 100 overs he'll still come in and bat like that. Yes, a senseless shot, poor coming from him. I agree.

Who here actually expected Afridi and Kamran (our two most aggressive strokemakers) to score 200+ runs and win us the game? Seriously? The game was over when we lost Umar Akmal. We needed Kamran to come in with 100 runs to win, not 250.

 

[ZAK]

to Aamir

Zulfain nhe sanwar raheen

They cant be best test nation with the likes of ijazz butt and yawar saeed eating away at the team like insects

 

[Abdullah22]

Kamran should play a mature knock and show his brother how much value they have in the team.

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

Pakistan just need to drag this out as long as poss and try to maybe get 300-40 some how!

Unfortunantly they are not capable of doing that

i wonder what , and must be thinking , i bet they are watching this match together with and laughing off

 

[Eagle_Eye]

kami denying runs already!!

 

[ZAK]

2 to Aamir.

 

[Energy]

259/6...Still fighting our boys!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Phussphusi timing by :aamir

 

[ZAK]

259/6

 

[COMEBACKID]

Unfortunantly they are not capable of doing that

i wonder what , and must be thinking , i bet they are watching this match together with and laughing off

lol now that would be funny but misbah is rubish any way but yeh loool

 

[Seen Sheen]

kami denying runs already!!

doing an 'inzi'.....

 

[Wiji]

Ok, Akmal just dropped 3 runs in the last two balls for refusing to run. The first one was an easy single. The second one, they could've run 4, but they ran 2 instead.

Senseless.

 

[IMMY69]

Afridi the genuis is setting the example for Amir - i.e. "dont play like me son!"

 

[Paradox]

Now it'll be a big achievement if we get 300.

We've battled it out, 440 was too much. I'd hate Afridi and Umar if we DIDN'T let the Aussie tail score and if our target was 300 instead, but nowa, I don't mind. 440 is WAY too much. We won't break a world record target. Not against the best team in the world, sorry.

 

[COMEBACKID]

and eating pakoreh and samoseh and laughing it off

 

[sanakazmi]

guys, check out testmatchsofa.com for some hilarious commentary.

 

[Wiji]

What the hell is Kamran doing??

Contrast this with the way Hussey batted with Hilfenhaus!! Amir is a better batsman than Ben.

 

[junaidmalik]

Rameez still at Jumah?

 

[Pakistan_Zindabaad]

Aamir has now faced more balls than Afridi & Umar.

 

[COMEBACKID]

brother people are not in the mood for funny commentary we are already sad

 

[Energy]

Drinks!

 

[Seen Sheen]

All of a sudden,:akmal has lost confidence on Aamer......

 

[aqeelPK]

relax guys.we only need 181 to win with gull, asif n kaneria still to come

 

[IMMY69]

Now it'll be a big achievement if we get 300.

We've battled it out, 440 was too much. I'd hate Afridi and Umar if we DIDN'T let the Aussie tail score and if our target was 300 instead, but nowa, I don't mind. 440 is WAY too much. We won't break a world record target. Not against the best team in the world, sorry.

that and if only we'd scored some more runs in the first innings!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

New ball coming up. Can these two weather it? I haven't given up hope yet.

Your probably the last one.

Very poor cricket after such as great start. Losing 4 wickets to North is just wrong. Pakistan have missed out on a great chance to make history, other teams such as South Africa and England would have chased this down.

 

[Strike!]

*** was that akmal.

 

[COMEBACKID]

if we had made 220 then it would have been decent score not to much

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Butt for Captain anyone?

 

[Energy]

I wish Pakistan could play home games. Cant really expect brilliance from a country that has no home games at all!

 

[COMEBACKID]

Butt for Captain anyone?

Come on man why change captin after 1 test and a good performance this is not even a question to ask

 

[Friend786]

Instead of saying that cant you say anyting positive come on man

i hope i am wrong but ........

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Come on man why change captin after 1 test and a good performance this is not even a question to ask

If Afridi continues to play the way he is... they may have to change mid series

 

[Veteran]

Most of the Pak batsmen are playing responsibly. In test cricket you have to occupy the crease. Only Imran and Afridi played in t20 mode in this innings. I think the debutants made a good effort.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Just saw the way he got out... sorry but that is just not acceptable from a captain

 

[ZAK]

Three to Aamir.

 

[Sir john]

54 overs left now,

 

[ZAK]

2 to Akmal.

 

[TheρaKaraBrocKer]

Come on man why change captin after 1 test and a good performance this is not even a question to ask

Surely, if Afridi doesn't change his attitude in next matches.

 

[ZAK]

more to Akmal.

 

[farsiddiqui]

How slow is the outfield?!

 

[aqeelPK]

guys, check out testmatchsofa.com for some hilarious commentary.

lmfao.thanks for sharing this link.

 

[Energy]

4 to Akmal.

 

[Abdullah22]

Unfortunantly they are not capable of doing that

i wonder what , and must be thinking , i bet they are watching this match together with and laughing off

As the Germans say 'Im Nachhinein ist jeder schlau' we are really overhyoing the absense of YK and MOYO

They might have done much worse and the match would have ended without any positives this much has a lot of positive in it new promising youngster, agree they might lack experience but that comes from playing and not by observing some oldies while sitting in the pavilion.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I wish Pakistan could play home games. Cant really expect brilliance from a country that has no home games at all!

That's a bad excuse, the pitch is very much like home and brilliance wasn't required.

Anyway, the game isn't over yet and hopefully Kamran and the tail can show some fight and play for pride. Getting the target down to under a 100 will be a good effort from now.

 

[pak4life]

Thanks to Afridi & co I will not have an escuse im watching the cricket tomorrow wonder what odd jobs the Mrs has lined up for me. Great!

 

[ZAK]

Single to Akmal.

 

[COMEBACKID]

come on kamiiii

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal and Aamer showing some guts and pride here!

172 still to get lol!

 

[Sir john]

this pair is last hope of pak,

 

[COMEBACKID]

if we lose from close that will be even more heart breaking i think

 

[Eagle_Eye]

4 to akmal

 

[Seen Sheen]

Nice cover drive from Kami.....

FOUR

 

[ZAK]
