[Yatoo]

Pitch will assist bowlers

Boundary

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on boys. Need a big partnership of 200 + here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is the most important innings for Azhar-YK-Mis lets see how they respond.

 

[Bullet Drive]

So far so good.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Where is everyone

 

[Yatoo]

Younis to make 400

 

[Genghis]

How are we looking this morning

 

[Mir jibran]

both players should score hundreds

 

[Justcrazy]

If pakistan are 300 for 5 down by stumps , they are safe

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should not get too much defensive at this stage. When there is a chance they need to score.

 

[Yatoo]

Need to take it session by session.

[FreeBird]

[Yatoo]

Younis has watched the pitch. Nothing in it. Bang. Six

[Shafi]

Well done Younis Bro!!! Please make another 100.

 

[Yatoo]

The only problem here is vs sodhi

 

[Bullet Drive]

Thanku YK

 

[imshally81]

Last 10 overs : 43/0 RR 4.30

 

[Arsal_AK]

Thanku YK

And I thought you didn't want him to play these two series.

Something about him not being a good match winner,if I recall corectly.

 

[Big Mac]

Where is everyone

Sleeping.

Glad we haven't lost a wicket this morning, need these two to be there at lunch. Conditions are fairly easy to bat on so they need to cash in on this start instead of being overconfident and throwing it away.

 

[hk031992]

YK needs to carry on and score 150 plus.

 

[Mamoo_cricket]

Good going by Parosees but still it's Kiwis game to lose.

 

[Mamoon]

'Younis should be given a chance in T20s' - Chishty

 

[Sam18696]

Is Pak batting well?

 

[Arsal_AK]

'Younis should be given a chance in T20s' - Chishty

Incredible.

 

[Mamoon]

Azhar Ali is turning into a rock.

 

[Big Mac]

The speed from Mushy

 

[Savak]

Why create unnecessary needles between the support staff by comparing their fitness? Stupid stuff by ramiz

Is Rameez lying about Anwar's six or is this some other match?

 

[Justcrazy]

Younus khan was my elder brother class fellow in mardan college and all my school and college life we saw him as a medium fast bowler and every one make fun with him when he came to batting at no 5 because he never hit six at that time because of weak arms. but life change so much . he is best of the best now."

 

[Justcrazy]

This two taking Pakistan out of danger here

 

[imshally81]

Last 10 overs : 19/0 RR 1.90

Last 10 overs : 19/0 RR 1.90

Come on man, don't post the current run rate without telling us the required run rate.

 

[Mamoon]

Twin hundreds there for the taking.

 

[Yatoo]

People have stopped talking about azhar Ali strike rate because they now know he can't bat any other way. That's the way he bats

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need a breakthrough , before lunch.

 

[Justcrazy]

He needs to give a bit more with ball , and bat as opener , that will bring in another youngster in the side.

 

[imshally81]

Come on man, don't post the current run rate without telling us the required run rate.

hahahaha... itz not a ODI or T20....
Last 10 overs RR is Just shows that how they are currently going...

That was my way of saying the run rate is not important ;0

 

[Justcrazy]

One more over before lunch

 

[Big Mac]

Nice way to bring up your fifty

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lunch

Solid session for pakistan

 

[imshally81]

Lunch... A Pakistan's Session

 

[adarsh_bang]

They should take SRK's King Khan title and give it to the YK.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not that SR matters a lot in test cricket but Azhar's career SR does not even touch 40 I think. Very slow batsman.

 

[Savak]

He is living of YK and dare i say Misbah's aggressiveness. He alone cannot lift the tempo of the innings if the situation demands it and this is evidenced by the fact and the manner of his dismissals whenever Pakistan has needed quick runs from him.

 

[shaaik]

This session holds the key ... 100 runs need to be scored in this session minimum.

The kind of form Younis has struck the record seems to be in serious danger here ...
Only 80 Runs separate Bradman and Younis now.

He should open. His tuk tuk is ok when you open the batting.

Him and shezad should be the openers.
This means a deserving player comes in instead of failures like shan, taufeeq and hafeez !

 

[Mamoon]

Definitely I'd prefer him to open, but the criticism of Azhar is unreasonable - proper Test batsman.

 

[JibranAnsari]

If pakistan dont lose enough wickets today then this match will be a boring draw.

 

[saiyan0312]

younis is looking good.

 

[saiyan0312]

Boult what was that!!

 

[hk031992]

I am fine with a draw. Unless we can score 600 plus, a win will ne extremely difficult

 

[Aman]

These two will get doubles.

 

[RehanG]

If pakistan dont lose enough wickets today then this match will be a boring draw.

lol.. dont think so, bat today bat tomorrow till lunch get a lead of 100+ or if tomorrow whole day maybe even 200, get them out in 3-4 sessions on day 5.

 

[Aman]

I'm watching the ODI match between Aus and SA lol. It's only fun when we bat because there's a chance of his throwing away a wicket, not the case when Pakistan's batting. Wickets are trash, no wonder Test cricket isn't popular in the SC.

Woo fair effort

 

[hussain.r97]

If Azhar Ali keeps this up, this will be a draw. He has a very good defensive game, but needs to develop his attacking game a little bit.

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol.. dont think so, bat today bat tomorrow till lunch get a lead of 100+ or if tomorrow whole day maybe even 200, get them out in 3-4 sessions on day 5.

sounds like a good plan for a good draw

 

[Aman]

Hope Pakistan continue likes this, increases the chances of us drawing this
