[Gulf of Gold]

Dont forget Amir, it is important our lower order bastmen can chip in like Gul did yesterday with the bat.

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

[Atif]

to UmarAkmals-hater ?

 

[Energy]

Under an hour left for the start. Im sure the Akmal brothers must be ready to give it their all today. They have nothing much to loose, hence we might be in for some lovely shots.

Inshallah they will. :akmal:umarakmal:aamir

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

it looks like we are nowhere near a winning position, and looking at our batting line up, no where near winning the match, the only hope i can keep is someone to score a hundred and the team to score anything in teh region of 300-350 runs.

Inshallah they will perform today

 

[Maula Jutt]

Inshallah they will. :akmal:umarakmal:aamir

^Isn't it kinda sad that out of the 5 you (and most of us) have rested our hopes upon, 2 are strictly bowlers?

Don't call them bowlers. They are batting-allrounders.

 

[Dondulkar]

Pakistan maintaining a very good result percentage, only worry being that they're losing mostly

Try harder to be funny next time..

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

Pakistan maintaining a very good result percentage, only worry being that they're losing mostly

tests - 12-9
ODI- 69-45

now thats what we call maintaining a good result percentage )

ur rockstars nearly lost by an innings in the first match vs lankans )

 

[Usman Chadda]

Need a miracle today - can't say anything much more than that

InshaAllah these guys will try and tough it out rather than get shot out in the first session

 

[Maula Jutt]

We lost the first Aussie match by 150 runs, right? I'd be happy if we lose this one by the same margin of runs. Not really looking forward to a new low.

 

[iHammad]

Remain optimistic guys, our boys can still do this!

Just need two big p'ships, and England will be under-pressure. Our batsmen just need to believe that they can play England bowlers in swinging conditions. Keep hope!

 

[Atif]

The players are walking out, come on Pak, show some fight with the bat.

 

[Energy]

Broad to start the proceedings.

 

[Atif]

from Farhat good shot

 

[Energy]

That's the way to start boys. Farhat off the mark for the day.

 

[Atif]

Ramiz: Pakistan should recall YK

 

[Energy]

Ramiz stressing on the fact that we need YK in the line-up.

 

[Energy]

Ramiz: Pakistan should recall YK

Makes sense.

 

[NJamal]

Ramiz stressing on the fact that we need YK in the line-up.

He is Damn right

 

[Atif]

Lets see what Amir can do...

 

[Atif]

Amir egdes and drops short of slip

 

[cricketpassion]

Just survived

 

[NorthStar]

Ramiz stressing on the fact that we need YK in the line-up.

Ejaz Butt's ego will not allow him back.

 

[Atif]

Maiden from Anderson, Amir survives an over

 

[Atif]

Nice to see Warney giving Danish some tips early this morning, Waqar was bowling too..

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

Why doesnt Rameez Stress that we need to get rid of Ejaz Butt as Chairman!!!

 

[shan]

Nice to see Warney giving Danish some tips early this morning, Waqar was bowling too..

Doesnt matter since Ajmal is coming back.

 

[cricketpassion]

Waqar speed might be still higher than Asif

 

[Maula Jutt]

I am an YK fan too but really guys, his inclusion in the middle of this series would create havoc in the dressing room. The board doesn't like him, many players apparently don't like him. There will be friction in the team, it will rub off onto the younger players too, and whoever thinks our batting will miraculously improve after his inclusion is heading towards disappointment because off-field mood of the team definitely translates into on-field performance. We'll lose our bowlers' performance too.

I think that if we HAVE to include him, then players should be slowly prepared for it mentally by informing them that he ll play for SA tour with the team. He should be slowly phased into the team. These knee-jerk reactions in this tour would harm more than benefit.

Just thinking from Pakistan cricket's point of view and for its benefits.

[Atif]

byes for Pakistan

 

[slix10]

It's farhats day today

 

[imshally81]

[dhump]

[shan]

I dont care if current useless players doesnt like them but two Y's should be in the team for the 2nd test.

 

[Warfare]

I really hope Farhat stays there till the hundredth over...

 

[IAJ]

Even Prior is influenced by Kamran Akmal

 

[Energy]

25/3 Pakistan.

If the players dont like him they should go to hell we dont care. There is no player in the current squad with the calibre of Younis

 

[dhump]

aamir is leaving the ball nicely.

 

[NJamal]

aamir is leaving the ball nicely.

Butt the crap batsman should learn from him

 

[Atif]

Ramiz: Amir wants to be an alrounder..

 

[Atif]

Another Madien from Anderson.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Anderson is hitting that good length area consistently. Add to that the ability to move the ball both ways at good pace, no wonder our batsmen have been dancing around

 

[Atif]

Another Madein from England, but a comfortable one for Pak

 

[mrk]

[Atif]

Broad is bowling short to Amir, this will test him out...
