[Oxy]

OUT - Malik gone

Just leave - what the hell have you just done?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik gone

 

[Big Mac]

Do any of these Asian channels in UK broadcast in HD?

Don't be stupid, they barely broadcast in standard definition as it is

 

[McBoom]

So he was born a cricketer...

I thought he was born a cheetah. Well you learn something everyday.

 

[saj001]

malik gone

 

[OZGOD]

I think Pakistan are in good shape actually. MoYo knows how to graft an innings and Umar Akmal showed that he has the composure to keep MoYo company. The run rate is hardly excessive. The key will be to get them to stay there till tea. If they're there till tea Pakistan will win.

Nearly tea, and one of them is still there. This is a win for Pakistan.

 

[JeeraBlade]

Horribly played

 

[insaaniyat]

milk man out

 

[ali_ed2006]

damnit. Just when we look like we're doing good we lose a wicket.

 

[OZGOD]

Oh no! Malik gone!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

**** shot!

Now need k akmal to stay til the end.

 

[12thMan]

What was Malik doing. It was a funny shot

 

[insaaniyat]

a good for nothing shot

 

[Juggernaut]

Last recognised batter now.

 

[OZGOD]

Oh well the Akmal brothers will have to take it home then...

 

[Oxy]

Nearly tea, and one of them is still there. This is a win for Pakistan.

As ever - your timing is impeccable

 

[saeed-sohail]

oh no chand ko nazar lag gai.

 

[12thMan]

thanks Allah Malik is out and yet he got that stupid smile

Why do you even watch Pakistan cricket?

 

[insaaniyat]

Milk man has a chance to gain some fan. He blew it with that shot

 

[khalil1986]

i think this match is in the bag with or without malik ..

i'm just afraid based on this performence he will block the way for someone else to come in the team..

Let's find out shall we?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Both brothers are out together.

 

[Oxy]

Peach of a shot for by Kami!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Four by Akmal.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nice shot by Kami to get off the mark

4 runs

 

[saj001]

4 runs by snr akmal

 

[McBoom]

Another ballerina master class by Malik.

Why is he in the team exactly?

 

[insaaniyat]

4

 

[Oxy]

165-5

 

[Big Mac]

thanks Allah Malik is out

What a wonderful fan you are

 

[iZeeshan]

Now the Akmal bros can get to work.

 

[ali110]

well I jinxed him.......**** ........

 

[insaaniyat]

Another ballerina master class by Malik.

Why is he in the team exactly?

He has the biggest pawwaa in Butt

 

[ali110]

Hopfully brothers take pakistan home........

 

[Oxy]

Another ballerina master class by Malik.

Why is he in the team exactly?

He gets out to horrible looking shots - it looks worse with each replay

 

[khalil1986]

That shot looks worse everytime you look at it what the heck was he doing idiot

 

[Poison]

This is a brilliant game

 

[Deewana Mastana]

At tea Pak 165-5

 

[saj001]

tea time

what a bad timing to loss a wicket

 

[Oxy]

Tea - horrible timing for the wkt

Instead of going in despondant - Kiwis will be laughing

 

[Muzy]

oh man... im dissapointed he was playing really well did he try to leave that delivery alone but stil managed to nip it?

 

[khanlala]

Why do you even watch Pakistan cricket?

i hate malik for what he has done to pakistan cricket in recent years..

just hate him..he has done more demage than good

 

[JeeraBlade]

Score
165/5 in 55 @ 3.00


To win
86 in 37 @ 2.32

 

[Poison]

Dont worry guise, Kami, Umar and Aamer can still bat, and if need be, we will use the iDone.

 

[insaaniyat]

Akmal brothers will take us to the promise land Insha-Allah. What a knock from Omar it would be

 

[kingusama92]

Malik luckily made some runs. Seemed like he would get out on duck when he came out. Poor shot on the one he got out especially since he finally seemed like he was treading out of this poor patch he's in.

) @ Akmal coming in and smashing a cover drive first ball. Are these guys in the form of their life or what?

 

[khanlala]

What a wonderful fan you are

oh please ..

 

[ali110]

Well tail ender again showed what he made off........a crappy and useless test batsman.......

 

[USaqaf]

Its too late for NZ , we'll win easily.

 

[90MPH]

That was a horrible shot by Malik, if he had got behind it with a straight bat he would have been ok, but he was trying to cross bat it.

 

[Big Mac]

i hate malik for what he has done to pakistan cricket in recent years..

just hate him..he has done more demage than good

hahahahahahahahaha

 

[khalil1986]

Put it this way if someone told you Malik will make 32 I'm sure most of us would have took it. Let's just hope akmal senior has no brain farts

 

[iZeeshan]

And it's tea.

Evenly poised honestly. NZ gets one wicket, and it'll be a lot of trouble.

 

[insaaniyat]

i hate malik for what he has done to pakistan cricket in recent years..

just hate him..he has done more demage than good

But he is not going anywhere for now. He even refused to bowl this test match

 

[CricnPak]

Good wicket in the context of how thrilling this game has been so far. You know it's been a great game when all results (pak win, nz win, draw and tie) are still possible in the last session.

 

[PB]

Its too late for NZ , we'll win easily.

If we had to get 10 runs, with 5 wickets, in hand we would lose the 5 wickets for 7 runs...

Theres still 86 to get, so chill.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Silly dismissal from Malik - things were going great and there was no need to try playing that, absolutely no need. He was looking in decent nick as well - the Kiwi's will really be up for it after tea, Shane Bond will undoubtedly bowl a deadly spell

Again its up to the Akmal brothers to do their magic

 

[12thMan]

i hate malik for what he has done to pakistan cricket in recent years..

just hate him..he has done more demage than good

there is a Malik thread. We are here to watch Pakistan win and not celebrate wicket losses

 

[ahmed16]

delivery got big on Malik, not the first time, Alam and Yousuf also fell to rising delveries, the pitch has demons, it plays like a flat one than all of a sudden one just kicks up.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Regardless of the result this has been a superb test match - great contest between bat and ball

 

[insaaniyat]

Regardless of the result this has been a superb test match - great contest between bat and ball

Result Pakistan wins

 

[90MPH]

Well what a match, it goes to the last session of the last day to decide where the match is heading.
Umar has played a blinder, but he has to carry on and get a 100, this is the only way I think Pakistan will win it.
Inshallah Pakistan will pull this off.

 

[Muzy]

how long is tea?

 

[kingusama92]

That was a horrible shot by Malik, if he had got behind it with a straight bat he would have been ok, but he was trying to cross bat it.

As they say... hindsight is always 20/20.

 

[khalil1986]

If we don't lose a wicket in the first half hour after tea then I'm pretty sure this should be in the bag

 

[JeeraBlade]

Umar Akmal became 11th player in the world to score a 100 and a 50 in a debut test.

 

[Poison]

Considering we were 3-24....this is a un-Pakistan like chase

 

[saeed-sohail]

But he is not going anywhere for now. He even refused to bowl this test match

Did he?

 

[siccric]

What a fantastic test match this has been

The balance continuously has been shifting between the two teams and even now everything other than there being a result is uncertain

If only Malik hadn't gotten out, we would've been in the driving seat but he played well under the situation. Gotta applaud Umar Akmal though, really fantastic stuff from him

Here's hoping he carries us home

 

[Wiji]

Silly dismissal from Malik - things were going great and there was no need to try playing that, absolutely no need. He was looking in decent nick as well - the Kiwi's will really be up for it after tea, Shane Bond will undoubtedly bowl a deadly spell

Easier said when sitting under a duvet at home. The ball bounces low sometimes, and kicks up sometimes. It's a day 5 pitch. And he's got 0.3 seconds to react.

He probably could've done better. But it happens in sports.

 

[saqeeb90]

If we don't lose a wicket in the first half hour after tea then I'm pretty sure this should be in the bag

we have worst team in the world , we have lost matches in the past where no one even thought that we could loose those matches,
on other hand we did the same ..
so i will wait and watch till last moment..
and InshaALLah our team will win

 

[GLORY OF '92]

All this sleep deprivation for a loss is not something I can contemplate. So finish it off lads.

 

[khalil1986]

Umar Akmal became 11th player in the world to score a 100 and a 50 in a debut test.

Hopefully the third to score hundreds in both innings

 

[McBoom]

He gets out to horrible looking shots - it looks worse with each replay

He just wets himself every time the ball is pitched short.

If by a miracle mixed with seniority complex and severe incompetence of our selectors he ever makes it to Australia, Johnson and Siddle will have him for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

 

[90MPH]

As they say... hindsight is always 20/20.

True, but the fact Is Malik overall is a very poor player of short pitched bowling for a long time - either leave it or get behind it solidly.

 

[Oxy]

how long is tea?

In our house, the cups are about 12 cm long

 

[siccric]

But he is not going anywhere for now. He even refused to bowl this test match

He didn't refuse to bowl. He just wasn't employed by Yousuf. He's new to captaincy. He'll understand the benefits of part timers eventually I hope

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

In our house, the cups are about 12 cm long

how long is sugar

 

[siccric]

how long is tea?

20 minutes

10 more minutes to go

It'll resume at 9:00 Pak Time

 

[Wiji]

My daily schedule is going to get so messed up by the end of this series. It's almost 4am right now!
