Pakistan v England | 3rd Test | Sharjah | Nov 1-5, 2015 | Day 3

[TalhaSyed]

Man for a crises - YK comes to the crease

 

[shah_1]

Drop malik

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik is just mediocre! despite his 4 wickets shouldnt play tests again

33/2 now and pakistan have let england back into game here!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

And here comes the collapse

 

[Abdullah719]

Malik in half sleeves ???? Launndda aj jaldi out hojaye ga

Astaghfirullah, what have you done?

 

[khalil1986]

So called team man better stand up.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What the heck was Malik doing there? Didn't even get his bat down in time.

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL Malik was like a year late on the shot.

Pakistan in trouble.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

The third innings specialist in. Come on YOUNUS!

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez to score a hundred

 

[Big Mac]

Is reverse swing possible at that speed? Anderson isn't the fastest.

You don't need to bowl fast to get the ball to reverse, I can do it in the nets and I make medium pace trundlers look like Shoaib Akhtar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan can be 5 down today

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like match going usual way with YK and Misbah having to bail pakistan out of trouble as per usual.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Anderson is making the ball talk.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be manhandled in England , looks very gloomy.

 

[HuzaifaE]

Just ask for patented coins to represent wickets so we can toss them to the opposition when we want - undo such brilliant work with such lunacy...morons.

 

[MMHS]

I guess not.

This proves only that Malik should never bat in top 5. He is balancing the team indeed, but not as a specialist no. 3.

PAK is snatching the game from the jaws of domination though...........

 

[Arsal_AK]

Pakistan can be 5 down today

You have been in quite a good mood recently, havent you??

 

[Watsupdoc]

The ball is swinging - collapse on the cards?

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms tail is up , ball doing a bit here.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Utter garbage this.

Despite the wickets hafeez can not go into a shell. He plays well when playing positive

 

[EngrOmair]

Bat behind pad

 

[Arsal_AK]

Pakistan would be manhandled in England , looks very gloomy.

If they play Malik at three, well then they deserve to be.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar should be asked difficult questions by waqar today ..that was the silliest possible run.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Let hope we can get to close of play with no more damage, need a big partnership here and need a YK special inns.

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL the idea of malik at number 3 in england is just mesmerizing.

 

[Justcrazy]

This two need to survive the stumps here.

 

[Abdullah719]

Insha'Allah Team Man can play his natural game now that he has been given insaaf by being selected for ODIs.

 

[khalil1986]

Gotta love the wrist slitters, it is so quiet and all of a sudden they all appear)

Mind you we are in a precarious position right now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Getting bogged down will be foolish , its runs that can put pressure on England

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez is the key here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Outside edge thankfully goes for 4

 

[Haroon786]

Anderson being given it by Hafeez.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hafeez needs to score big. No excuses.

Its criminal the way he gets out after getting a 50.

 

[Justcrazy]

Outdside edge , four

Great ball again.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Anderson is producing some Magic with the ball.

 

[Haroon786]

Anderson won't stay on for much longer.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez gets a 4 , needs to be careful. Its swinging.

 

[MMHS]

One thing I am sure after this series - I can't explain their respective stats, but Jimmy is at per, if not better in terms of skills with Styen. May be he is just not fast enough for AUS/SAF wickets, but there are not many close to him in skills debuted in this millennium.

 

[Haroon786]

Hafeez needs to score big. No excuses.

Its criminal the way he gets out after getting a 50.

His conversion is amongst the better ones in the side.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Anderson is probably the most skilled bowler in the world.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Insha'Allah Team Man can play his natural game now that he has been given insaaf by being selected for ODIs.

Has the squad been announced??

 

[winchester]

Just goes to show Azhar did very well negating that Anderson threat....

 

[arehaan]

Azhar Ali should improve his learning he is fast becoming the reincarnation of Inzamam. Its a crime to get run out in test matches what were you thinking

 

[Haroon786]

One thing I am sure after this series - I can't explain their respective stats, but Jimmy is at per, if not better in terms of skills with Styen. May be he is just not fast enough for AUS/SAF wickets, but there are not many close to him in skills debuted in this millennium.

Steyn gets most of his wickets through his out swinger.

 

[Abdullah719]

True. Perhaps just lacks the consistent excellence that Steyn has always displayed. Killer instinct.

 

[Justcrazy]

114/2

Lead 42 runs.

 

[Arsal_AK]

His conversion is amongst the better ones in the side.

Its not.

He has what 2-3 ton in the last three years??

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Just goes to show Azhar did very well negating that Anderson threat....

If Azhar wouldn't have opened today then we would already have been 34/3 something. The opening slot is ideal for him and Pakistan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Just goes to show Azhar did very well negating that Anderson threat....

That 6 in the stands roughened the ball more on one side , its swinging more.

 

[Haroon786]

Broad in.

 

[MMHS]

MoHa is batting for 3 hours & he has very little clue which way Jimmy is moving it in air......

 

[Watsupdoc]

Broad on now. I bet he'll reverse it as well.

 

[Bilal7]

Malik is so worthless. Hopefully this is the last we've seen of him in test cricket.

We need to ensure that another wicket is not lost today.

 

[Justcrazy]

How many overs left in the day ?

 

[Abdullah719]

Has the squad been announced??

I'm not entirely sure because it doesn't sound official enough, but it does seem like that is the case.

http://www.geo.tv/article-202917-Younis-returns-as-PCB-announces-ODI-squad-for-England-series
http://www.thenews.com.pk/article-2...6-member-squad-for-ODI-series-against-England

The 2nd one is basically a repeat of the first source, so again, not sure until it is confirmed by some completely legit sources.

 

[Haroon786]

Its not.

He has what 2-3 ton in the last three years??

I don't know about the last few years, but career wise he has 13 50s and 8 100.

YK has the best conversion rate with 31 100s and 30 50s IIRC.

 

[Mamoon]

Anderson's average of 29 is probably the most misleading individual statistic in the game today. He's ridiculously skilled.

This series has blown the Clouderson myth into pieces.

 

[Abdullah719]

How many overs left in the day ?

10 after this.

 

[Faisalsq092]

Insha'Allah Team Man can play his natural game now that he has been given insaaf by being selected for ODIs.

IS the squad announced?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Steyn is a BEAST for a completely simple reason.

He can ROAR anytime and turn games and series on its head.

Countless times Steyn would look normal and then in one inspired spell run through the opposition AT THE MOST CRUCIAL MOMENT and win the games for his side.

Anderson doesn't have Steyn's consistency or roaring capability.

Steyn is super special in that. Skill wise (in the sense more skills), he is NOWHERE close to Anderson or any of his ATG peers.

But when it comes to TIMED execution, none can't beat Steyn.

He is like an ATG batsman who is the most clutch too.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Broad

 

[Abdul]

Lol... what just happened?! ) )

 

[Justcrazy]

Broad falls , boycott hilarious.

 

[Abdullah719]

Jimmy got Broad LBW there.

 

[Mamoon]

Younis is embarrassing to watch against pace.

 

[Watsupdoc]

YK is looking edgy.

 

[MMHS]

Bairstow is easily the better WK than Josh.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Anderson's average of 29 is probably the most misleading individual statistic in the game today. He's ridiculously skilled.

This series has blown the Clouderson myth into pieces.

He stopped being Clouderson long time back.

Many who just see stats and comment would have got a reality ATLEAST now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Anderson's average of 29 is probably the most misleading individual statistic in the game today. He's ridiculously skilled.

This series has blown the Clouderson myth into pieces.

He had a few bad early years when he was too young and learning the art. We should see him after 2008.

 

[Mamoon]

What an innings by Professor though, no one else in the team can score 70+ at such a good SR in a situation like this. That's why he's better then Shehzad, who never gets out of his shell.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Younis is embarrassing to watch against pace.

I agree with you on most things. And i hate yk esp after todays news but malik is as bad or if not worse against pace in test cricket. I know hes not a number 3 bat but he came in near the 40th over and the way he got out was just embarrassing. Good ball but still

 

[Watsupdoc]

What the heck was that YK?

 

[Justcrazy]

Anderson reversing the ball both ways here. Younis not sure.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

In use prof is our best opener. No doubt way better than shehzad as he has a good strike rate even in tests. Azhar and hafeez opening with haris at 3 is amazing.

 

[Mamoon]

Lol at the legend.

 

[saeed-sohail]

YK please retire.
