Pakistan v England | 3rd Test | Sharjah | Nov 1-5, 2015 | Day 4

[Bullet Drive]

To a certain extent, I actually 'll pick Wasim, Shane, Marshall or Hadlee to bat at 8 in my team over Kallis or Sobers. A bowler who can bat at 8 & average 23 with ball & bat, is a better contributor than someone with 55/35 stats.

Now imagine, someone with 50/18 stats.......... for 10 years...................

And as captain..

 

[Snow]

need to bat 20 overs.

 

[Enigma_]

The worst tail in the history of international cricket on show. Come on someone stay in or score some runs.

 

[MMHS]

Absolute zaffar, I think that wicket 'll damage English moral more than PAK. Probably indicates what sort of wicket it is.

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

Superb shot yasir. Thats how you should play.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq somehow needs to score another 30.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yasir Shah is a much much better then Wahab Riaz.

Beautiful shot.

 

[yasir]

Have you been playing test cricket for pakistan lately? If not then get off your high ground and learn to provide an argument rather than posting trash.

You are giving them four session to chase 260, why?

If we are going to win, 3 sessions are more then enough to take 20 wickets. Score as much as you can. If not 260 is easy to chase in 4 session. Why take that risk?

Messi promoted.

 

[#GreenRoars]

What a shot by Shah , lead is 244 now

 

[90MPH]

Don't worry guys, we need only 30 More runs then this match is in the bag.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Sarfraz got a peach of a delivery, but Pakistan needs some quick runs now.

True

But Babar is out of touch.

 

[Pakcricket89]

WOW shot of the match from yasir

 

[Enigma_]

Shah the all-rounder

 

[Arsal_AK]

Must bat out all day.

Get to around 340?

Bat for 10 mins tomorrow.

If you want Eng to draw; then sure. Bat till lunch tomorrow in that case to be sure.

 

[Shafi]

Our tail is on!!!!Would be great if we can score another 60 runs

 

[Big Mac]

Rashid was one of their best. Thats the prob.

Nah, I watched him in the ODIs in the summer and it was clear he wasn't good enough to be a test bowler.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Feel so sorry for Asad.

He would have about 13 tons if he batted up the order.

High risk. High reward. I want us to win this test at all costs.

Okay. Let me water down my own proposition. Lets play this whole day if we can manage to do but stop with the tuk tuk and start playing aggressively.

 

[Abdullah]

We keep losing a wicket just as I get comfortable. I still want 300.
Wahab n yasir need to take this seriously

exactly the ATG bowler who can bat are always better although Sobers and Kallis were ATG too but not ATG with the ball.

 

[MMHS]

Rashid was one of their best. Thats the prob.

I think, Kerrigan is their best spinner, by far, but he averages 10 in FC. Issue is not with Adil - issue is filling a Test team with Stokes, Moeen, Adil, Patel & Bairstow (WK) - I know you understand what I am saying.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I know that Samit Patel is one of the most disliked players in the English set up.

 

[dhump]

So we are settling for 260 then.

Massive massive wicket.

PAK on back foot now.

Worst tail ever comes in.

We will fold in next 30 runs.

Eng have a big chance now.

seriously

 

[m.shah]

Asad shafiq must take most of the strike now

You are sounding like Mamoon lately

 

[Big Mac]

He would have about 13 tons if he batted up the order.

If he batted up the order:

"I feel so sorry for Asad.

He'd have a dozen tons if the seniors weren't sending him up the order like a sacrificial lamb"

Kerrigan is nothing special. Not got a repeatable action. Won't be selected after his horror show at the Oval.

That's why I consider him the GOAT.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Yasir Shah is a much much better then Wahab Riaz.

Beautiful shot.

Wahab is a cleaner hitter and should concentrate on hitting, whenever he tries to block he gets into trouble

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shafiq needs to bat better with the tail then he did in the last test which was a pathetic effort on his part! he needs to take most of strike and score runs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

If he batted up the order:

"I feel so sorry for Asad.

He'd have a dozen tons if the seniors weren't sending him up the order like a sacrificial lamb"

Yeah they will send him up the order when we tour ENG and SA. And those FTB's will move down.

 

[pak4life]

That wicket of sarfraz should make England more worried. If a part timer like patel can ball the odd ball like that imagine what yasir will do on a regular basis.

If its a domestic level selection issue, then fair enough.

I get your point.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yasir has a beautiful technique and can be a batsman averaging 25-30 imo.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Some quick runs required.

 

[Haroon786]

Solid from Yasir.

Only positive we can take from wicket.

People dont know Yasir is quite handy with 6 first class 50s

 

[Haroon786]

Until he bats on a bowler friendly surface.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Yasir survives

 

[Bullet Drive]

245 ahead.

 

[Enigma_]

Love Yasir's 'Challenge accepted' attitude. Has good batting technique for a low order batsmen as well.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another 50 runs here would be ideal, Asad needs to start playing some shots.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Asad take us to 300 please mate.

 

[arehaan]

I have a feeling even Wahab will play better today

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another 50 runs here would be ideal, Asad needs to start playing some shots.

LOL.

Then if he gets out to a slog sweep you will be in saying 'pathetic shot!!!'

He is playing well.

 

[Arsal_AK]

No. He should learn to block.

A tail with good defensive game is worth gold in test cricket.

Look at what Wood did in the last test.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Jimmy immy jimmy.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Dropped a sitter? )

Anderson what have you done? )

 

[razabbas]

Dropped seriously ?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Well well, this drop catch is gonna cost them.

 

[Enigma_]

DROPPED LOL! Terrible shot though.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Anderson dropped the match.

 

[Big Mac]

Shafiq is so, so lucky for the second time this session. He's trying his best to throw his wicket away.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Jimmy you beauty

 

[Bullet Drive]

Seriously very dumb shot by Shafiq.

Pakistan have gifted England 16 wickets this whole test.

 

[90MPH]

What a big let off.

 

[ahanank]

Shafiq can't hit. Simple as that.
Then, why try?

 

[Pakcricket89]

Shafiq is so, so lucky for the second time this session. He's trying his best to throw his wicket away.

Give him some leeway he is in extreme pain

 

[Watsupdoc]

The minute Shafiq tries to play aggresively, he gets into trouble, should continue his tuk tuk.

 

[JibranAnsari]

come on pakistan. 50 more please.

 

[zabalestmsm]

We need to bat with a positive attitude now. Defensive mindset must be trashed.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Honestly the way Yasir bats, its so beautful. Can cut and pull, drive.....

 

[zabalestmsm]

The minute Shafiq tries to play aggresively, he gets into trouble, should continue his tuk tuk.

He got a bit late on it.

 

[dhump]

Get lead past 250 pls...we are not racing past 300 here score all runs possible.

[Bullet Drive]

Think Yasir will get LBW here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shafiq needs to make england pay for that let off now!

 

[Abdullah719]

Shafiq needs to learn about lofting the ball from Hafeez. His wild shots are terrible. Hafeez just times it, up and over.

 

[Pakcricket89]

We need atleast 20 more, looks hard though

 

[yasir]

This is second time Shafiq has played exact same shot. Thanks to Anderson, he is still out there.

55 come on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cant see Yasir lasting to long v anderson here.

 

[Abdullah719]

Yasir > Team Man.

 

[ahanank]

He got a bit late on it.

Always does.
Can't hit advancing down the track as naturally as others.

 

[Big Mac]

Give him some leeway he is in extreme pain

What a load of rubbish. If he was in extreme pain he wouldn't be dancing down the pitch having a wild slog.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Good from Yasir. More of this please.

Amir at 8 and Yasir at 9 could make a decent combo for once.

 

[yasir]

Btw Anderson is slip catcher, what he was doing at long on??
