[Random Aussie]

Th eguy pressing the ad button is probably on his mobile...

)

 

[JeeraBlade]

23 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[insaaniyat]

Quality stuff from Salman Butt.

Jury's still out on Farhat, but if he holds on to the catches, I am open to him, I guess.

I am never open to safaarishi player, unless he proves it for at least 10 tests or so

 

[imshally81]

50 for pakistan without loose the wicket

 

[GLORY OF '92]

50 up!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

50 run partership for our openers!!!!!!!!!

 

[khalil1986]

Good thing from my pov is that butt ain't fishing he seems to have tightened up a lot more as far as farhat is concerned couldn't care less lol

 

[ammarz]

50 up, cannot compute. system crashing!!!

 

[luvthegame]

wow 49/0..cant believe it...

 

[Juggernaut]

Quality stuff from Salman Butt.

Jury's still out on Farhat, but if he holds on to the catches, I am open to him, I guess.

Haha

I told you some of our more fickle fans will start changing their tune

 

[imshally81]

i think itz easy for middle order to bat in current sitution

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pitch looks flat now.

 

[Juggernaut]

50 Partnership !!! )

 

[iZeeshan]

I am never open to safaarishi player, unless he proves it for at least 10 tests or so

Well he's held it together so far. Maybe he really DID have a few bad days. If he can keep it like this in Australia, then I'm okay with it.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Butt showing his worth now..

 

[JeeraBlade]

50 runs partnership!!! Somebody pinch me pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!

 

[Oxy]

I didnt prepare any 50-0 material.....

 

[JeeraBlade]

50 Partnership !!! )

Nervous laugh!

 

[Juggernaut]

Pitch looks flat now.

Thats cos they've done the hard work.

They should really cash in now. (by they I mean Salman Butt) . I still want Farhat to get out.

 

[JeeraBlade]

I didnt prepare any 50-0 material.....

Do you think, ANYBODY did?

 

[luvthegame]

Pak needs a big score from their top order in order to put pressure on NZ.

 

[Genghis]

Butt as I have said before is our best option for tests. For ODI and T20s the jury is still out on him.

 

[JeeraBlade]

24 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

400-450 and we can really pressurise the kiwis with asif and aamer. Maybe kaneria can find his form of 2005-2006.

 

[insaaniyat]

Haha

I told you some of our more fickle fans will start changing their tune

I would't trust him unless he is good minimum 10 tests. I can't digest safaarishi players. If they are selected on their merit, I am all for them

 

[imshally81]

drinkz break

 

[khalil1986]

To be honest though the ball ain't done much and the kiwis haven't hit good areas consistently but atleast the openers have applied themselves a lot better

 

[Juggernaut]

I would't trust him unless he is good minimum 10 tests. I can't digest safaarishi players. If they are selected on their merit, I am all for them

You're changing you're tune as well mate.

He is a ***** player. Whatever he does today aint gonna change that fact.

 

[germanboy]

bari need arahi hai yaar koi tareeqa batao jaage rehne ka?

 

[Random Aussie]

400-450 and we can really pressurise the kiwis with asif and aamer. Maybe kaneria can find his form of 2005-2006.

Whoa there man....

 

[iZeeshan]

Haha

I told you some of our more fickle fans will start changing their tune

But I listed a condition. I'm not welcoming him with open arms. Read properly.

 

[octavian]

absolutely legendary stuff from butt n farhat. greenidge , haynes eat your hearts out

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

bari need arahi hai yaar koi tareeqa batao jaage rehne ka?

sooo jaooo ...phir fresh hoo jaoo gy

 

[insaaniyat]

You're changing you're tune as well mate.

He is a ***** player. Whatever he does today aint gonna change that fact.

true my friend, i didn't say for one match. But I do know he is playing for pakistan, every run added to him is added to pakistan total too.

 

[Oxy]

A triple century wouldnt convince me to rethink my views of Farhat...as much as I'll appreciate the runss for the team

 

[imshally81]

why they are playing soo slow ???

 

[Juggernaut]

But I listed a condition. I'm not welcoming him with open arms. Read properly.

It doesn't matter mate. He is a **** player. No matter what he does in this test. Atleast show some conviction and consistency with your thoughts on Farhat.

Whoa there man....

We have to deal with some real 'characters' here to put it politely.

 

[insaaniyat]

A triple century wouldnt convince me to rethink my views of Farhat...

Sounds like you also feel that he is gonna good today

 

[Juggernaut]

A triple century wouldnt convince me to rethink my views of Farhat...

THIS

 

[imshally81]

maiden over

 

[Oxy]

Sounds like you also feel that he is gonna good today

He's exceeded 'good' already...

 

[imshally81]

A triple century wouldnt convince me to rethink my views of Farhat...as much as I'll appreciate the runss for the team

agreeeeeee

 

[insaaniyat]

He's exceeded 'good' already...

[Oxy]

Beauty from Vettori - Butt nearly nicks it. Poor shot

 

[germanboy]

Now don't jinx them please

 

[JeeraBlade]

Oh so close.

I was hoping for a nick there.

He has his father-in-law's prayers with him!

 

[Wazmiester]

Not to Jinx these two openers but sun is coming out and i expect some movement coming into play and Vettori is already building pressure from the other end.

 

[Garuda]

Why are these two scoring so slow??

Is the pitch doing much or they are playing too safe?

 

[JeeraBlade]

26 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[insaaniyat]

Oh so close.

I was hoping for a nick there.

Why do you want him out?

 

[JeeraBlade]

Why are these two scoring so slow??

Is the pitch doing much or they are playing too safe?

It is not Ahmedabad.

 

[Juggernaut]

He has his father-in-law's prayers with him!

God is not so cruel. There will be justice!

 

[JeeraBlade]

27 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[Garuda]

It is not Ahmedabad.

What did I ask?

 

[JeeraBlade]

God is not so cruel. There will be justice!

Seems like you are suffering right now.

 

[khalil1986]

Why are these two scoring so slow??

Is the pitch doing much or they are playing too safe?

Unfortunately we haven't found our sehwag yet

 

[Juggernaut]

DAMN. Its 3 o clock.

I'm off to bed. Got an interview tomorrow.

Hopefully when I check the score tomorrow Farhat is out for under 50, Sallu Mian has a decent score and Umar Akmal has a century

 

[insaaniyat]

I feel a wicket coming for NZ

 

[Oxy]

What did I ask?

To be fair, whatever you would have asked, thats what the answer would have been

 

[insaaniyat]

DAMN. Its 3 o clock.

Good luck

[khalil1986]

God is not so cruel. There will be justice!

You need to jinx him start praising him and he will get out, JINX time

 

[JeeraBlade]

28 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[Oxy]

I leave it on 59-0

I expect to wake up and see us close at 177-8

 

[tauseefm]

Seems like you are suffering right now.

 

[imshally81]

[saj001]

Part Timer...

 

[insaaniyat]

I expect to wake up and see us close at 177-8

Oxy wait till these two have scored century

 

[JeeraBlade]

UNBELIEVABLE STATS:

59/0 in 28.1 overs.

This is the HIGHEST opening partnership in terms of overs batted in last FOUR years, 27 test matches and 50 opening partnerships.

[khalil1986]

I leave it on 59-0

Very optimistic

 

[Garuda]

To be fair, whatever you would have asked, thats what the answer would have been

ppl should try to give benefit of doubt rather than searching for insult in everything. I am not watching it live and the score looks really low.

So I would always give a person that benefit that doubting an insult targeted. Expect the same from wise ones.

[tauseefm]
