[Badsha]

Mard-e-Haq! Field changed as well. Misbah you're a genius. My favorite current Pakistani player

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

[Sledger]

Fielder goes back - Misbah wins the mini-battle.

 

[Jawiz]

[Sledger]

Use the reverse sweep!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah will now block for next 3 hours )

 

[ninjafirstslip]

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

[Areesh]

Misbah ko kia ho gaya?

 

[Sledger]

117/4. Panesar got smashed by the great man.

 

[greekscavenger]

Right, who are you and what have you done with Misah ul haq?

 

[osee_bhai]

I love misbah messing with England haha, 2nd slip gone!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 117/4

Cant afford to lose any more wickets this session or even for rest of the day now!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Hate all this tuk tuk BS that immature fans come out with.

Misbah's batting is perfectly fine and what we need in the team.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great batting there

 

[Asif321]

Some times kaptaan does unexpected things

 

[Sledger]

Broad to continue.

 

[akamaka]

Misbah You beauty! Never know what this man is thinking

 

[James]

Misbah is actually a self parody.... tuk tuk tuk tuk six six tuk tuk

 

[*syed59*]

Hate all this tuk tuk BS that immature fans come out with.

Misbah's batting is perfectly fine and what we need in the team.

absolutely

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 100 here ....... not attractive 25 - 30

 

[Areesh]

Panesar to Misbah-ul-Haq, SIX, 83.2 kph, goodness me once more! Hammered out of the meat of the bat over long on...that is madness from Misbah, nobody in their right mind would have predicated this from him!

Cricinfo.

 

[hamzamunir]

o so true my friend

hehe, sorry if i came at you with a bang.

 

[ScotRaz]

who called him tuk tuk

he's actually called Tuk Tuk BOOM, not many people know that

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

who called him tuk tuk

well I call tuk tuk but not as bad style. If tuk tuk wins us then let be it tuk tuk its better than any boom boom on the planet. So lately when I use term tuk tuk , I'm appericating rather than complaining.

 

[Sledger]

All the focus on the last ball, we want to see replays of those huge sixes.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Misbah is actually a self parody.... tuk tuk tuk tuk six six tuk tuk

I did warn you in the last match that Misbah could hit big if required...

 

[Osman]

asad doesn't inspire any confidence at all

 

[Justcrazy]

Broad what a spell ....... 2 /19 from almost 10 overs ......... He is a class bowler.

 

[Sledger]

Asad not showing any intent to score. Dead batting everything.

 

[Asif321]

wht kind of crowd it is noo noise and suddenly with 2 sixes they start cheering

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Well bowled by Broad.

Though his statistics aren't good, he has the ability to bowl that magic ball.

 

[Sledger]

Gets a run this time.

 

[James]

I did warn you in the last match that Misbah could hit big if required...

shame this didn't apply at Mohali...

sorry!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

shafiq in real trouble

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Big big innings for Asad.

 

[Sledger]

Solid block by the Miz.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need a steady stand here........ every run vital. They need to take it over by over.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

A poor start BUT hopefully we can manage to get to around 250 at least, batting last on this pitch won't be easy

 

[Bashira_taeli]

shame this didn't apply at Mohali...

sorry! :runs:

ouch

 

[Blade]

that's what you call the tuk tuk BOOM

 

[James]

I don't rate Shafiq yet. Today could be his day.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to find a way to get to 250 here some how......

 

[Asif321]

now trott wil come and see wht happens

 

[Sledger]

Asad missed out on a half tracker.

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

Misbah will not go for his shot if other team's captain expect him to go for his shot...

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

well asad is so stucked up, please boy atleast don't do this.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

shame this didn't apply at Mohali...

sorry!

I guess that's the self parody part

 

[bluffmasterv2]

not spinning that much now !

 

[Sledger]

that's what you call the tuk tuk BOOM

Now we know the inspiration behind that DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince song. Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk BOOM. :cheema

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Shafiq content to dead bat everything.

 

[Badsha]

I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of Shafiq. He's an alright batsman but nothing special like he was made up to be.
I'd rather have Fawad Alam there instead of him. Or even better, Umar Akmal.

 

[*syed59*]

not spinning that much now !

might seam more now

 

[ninjafirstslip]

I don't rate Shafiq yet. Today could be his day.

Whippy I don't think he will rise to your high standards.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Anderson back on

 

[Sledger]

Janderson replaces Broad. The right move probably.

 

[Areesh]

Shafiq

 

[James]

this would have been an ideal chance for Umar Akmal to counterattack, with Misbah holding up the other end. short-sighted selection.

 

[Sledger]

Bit of swing first ball. Edged infront of slip.

 

[James]

Whippy I don't think he will rise to your high standards.

I don't have high standards

 

[hazen_batti]

what is respectable total on this pitch.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

i have to say i'm not the biggest fan of shafiq. He's an alright batsman but nothing special like he was made up to be.
I'd rather have fawad alam there instead of him. Or even better, umar akmal.

+ 1

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

might seam more now

Why? The ball's getting older not newer

 

[ninjafirstslip]

shafiq better start playing soon. He is as good as gone when the new ball arrives. 33 overs left.

 

[*syed59*]

I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of Shafiq. He's an alright batsman but nothing special like he was made up to be.
I'd rather have Fawad Alam there instead of him. Or even better, Umar Akmal.

he has gone through the same message Akmal has. Something which has made both these guys (moreso Asad as he was always not super aggressive by nature) play against their free flowing nature.

But they need to back their instincts and find a balance b/w caution and aggression.

 

[Sledger]

It's swinging a bit. Not bad bowling conditions today.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

this would have been an ideal chance for Umar Akmal to counterattack, with Misbah holding up the other end. short-sighted selection.

I said this from the last game but well, maybe Asad will prove himself and his supporters today.

 

[*syed59*]

Why? The ball's getting older not newer

broad;s spell comes to mind.

although anderson may not seam the bowl as he's not that kind of bowler.

 

[Sledger]

118/4. Beautiful tuks from Misbah.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

lol people. Akmal is not the savior of our test cricket.

 

[Osman]

poor stuff from asad really

 

[Badsha]

shafiq better start playing soon. He is as good as gone when the new ball arrives. 33 overs left.

Which is why I don't really like him. He struggles a lot with the ball swinging.

 

[Poison]

lmao at Misbah's brain super explosion six

 

[ninjafirstslip]

stump to stump people.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

lol people. Akmal is not the savior of our test cricket.

But he can score 50 against any attack in any conditions.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nice shot.
