Pakistan v South Africa l 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | 11/15/13 | Day 3

[Bullet Drive]

OMG shadows of Tendulkar in this shot * who is the commie with chushti mujahid*

Mike Haysman.

And he's right.

Their are similarities between Shafiq & Tendulkar. When Shafiq actually plays his shots he looks a wonderful batsman. Both hold the bat handle very low. Both cut the ball very similar.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah misses out on a full toss.

 

[MRSN]

Misbah don't lose focus.

 

[Haroon786]

8 off the over.

 

[Saurav]

Pakistan should attack now.target 100 runs in this session

put SA under pressure

 

[Bullet Drive]

Everything done by Pakistan in this test has been perfect so far. In sha Allah it continues.

 

[Batman]

PAK | 4/364 | Lead by 115

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan should attack now.target 100 runs in this session

put SA under pressure

They are doing fine atm. 4 an over is good.

I don't want any more wickets to go as it could lose some advantage.

We are doing very well atm so no complaints. Long may they keep it up

 

[Haroon786]

Duminy should be hit out of the attack, to put their tired quicks on again.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Something making me even more happier is India are getting hammered by Australia

 

[Batman]

Another 100 runs will make the lead 250+

 

[Naheem]

btw asad and azhar are our best younger players on flat pitches

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to Misbah well batted.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Classy Shafiq on now.

 

[hur rizvi]

misbah 83*

can he get these 17 runs??

 

[Batman]

Come on Misbah score 100 here

 

[Bullet Drive]

btw asad and azhar are our best younger players on flat pitches

How can you say this when you have't seen any of our other youngsters on this?

 

[Bullet Drive]

misbah 83*

can he get these 17 runs??

I think he will but he usually throws it away.

 

[razabbas]

Something making me even more happier is India are getting hammered by Australia

hahahha same here there bowlers are getting hammered but still kapil dev is praising india bowling attack

 

[Bullet Drive]

More we use this pitch the better as we want to bowl on a used pitch.

 

[Bullet Drive]

hahahha same here there bowlers are getting hammered but still kapil dev is praising india bowling attack

Praising Indias bowling attack should be illegal.

 

[Naheem]

How can you say this when you have't seen any of our other youngsters on this?

bro last 2-3 years there performance on flat pitches is very good

 

[Bullet Drive]

50 to Asad Shafiq. Great knock.

 

[razabbas]

Congrts shafiq now 50 more runs please

 

[hur rizvi]

lovely flick to bring up his 50

 

[dhump]

Pakistan should attack now.target 100 runs in this session

put SA under pressure

I think there is quite some pressure on them already all I want from Pakistan is to bat throughout the day (if they can) and put some lead of 230-250.

 

[Batman]

50 for Shafiq, well played

 

[Bullet Drive]

bro last 2-3 years there performance on flat pitches is very good

Yes they've done well but you haven't seen any other youngsters play on flat tracks so you can't say they're our best on flat tracks.

Theirs loads of batsman in Pakistan who can play well on flat tracks.

Imran Nazir is one of them. Still, brilliant from Pakistan.

 

[Batman]

PAK | 4/367 | Lead by 118

 

[razabbas]

should pick up 1-2 wickets before the day ends

 

[Sam18696]

Congrats to Shafiq

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah misses out on a full toss again. Come on. 16 to get.

 

[Naheem]

feeling bad for u akmal fans

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Batman]

Single taken by Misbah

 

[Haroon786]

Think we might have seen Mig in the crowd.

 

[razabbas]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great shot by Shafiq. He's class vs spin

 

[Sam18696]

 

[Batman]

by Shafiq

 

[DW44]

I spy with my little eye a ninja in the crowd.

 

[hur rizvi]

Beautiful cut-shot

 

[SCI]

Shafiq proves the doubters wrong.

 

[dhump]

asad showing signs of confidence here.

 

[razabbas]

 

[Bullet Drive]

feeling bad for u akmal fans

Why?

I am an Umar Akmal fan because I believe he is the best man for us at 6 but I'm happy if Shafiq is scoring their.

Now Shafiq is out.

 

[Naheem]

and shafiq throws it

 

[Sam18696]

shafiq gone

 

[hur rizvi]

Soft dismissal...

 

[Batman]

Shafiq gone

 

[Bullet Drive]

Soft dismissal

 

[DW44]

Goddamn part timers...

 

[dhump]

and a rash shot to get out too.

 

[Batman]

Soft dismissal, Shafiq throw it away

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well played but that has lost some of the advantage now.

We really need Adnan to do something similar now.

 

[Haroon786]

Out

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Shafiq thought he had achieved everything after making 50. really poor concentration.

 

[dhump]

this was really not needed at all now to get lead of 200 would be difficult.

 

[razabbas]

chaloa good knock by

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Adnan, In sha Allah he can score at least a 50. He is in form after 80 odd vs UAE. Come on!

 

[Batman]

Adnan comes in at 7

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wth. Now its matter of time only.

 

[hur rizvi]

We need atleast 77 from our last 5

 

[mosh101]

What a gift ! We needed that partnership to go on !

 

[BHM :D]

Very good inns by Shafiq, showed his class but a very soft dismissal.

 

[razabbas]

77 runs for a lead of 200 with 5 wickets left

 

[Saurav]

Something making me even more happier is India are getting hammered by Australia

haha I've noticed even when we dont play each other,when Pakistan does well,India doesnt,when India does Pakistan doesnt lol

 

[mosh101]

Last recognized batsman in ! We have a long tail

 

[Bullet Drive]

It actually wasn't a poor shot by Shafiq. It was due to the pitch.

 

[DW44]

Misbah and middle-Akmal need to go all out and try to get another 77 quickly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

haha I've noticed even when we dont play each other,when Pakistan does well,India doesnt,when India does Pakistan doesnt lol

This is 1000% true haha

 

[Naheem]

Why?

I am an Umar Akmal fan because I believe he is the best man for us at 6 but I'm happy if Shafiq is scoring their.

Now Shafiq is out.

bahi i m also fan of u akmal but i never suggest that drop shafiq for u akmal but most fans on pp insisted that after zimbo series shafiq should drop u akmal

 

[hur rizvi]

duminy has out bowled peterson by some distance

 

[dhump]

chaloa good knock by

naa this knock is not good in current situation this is where numbers are useless I am not saying the runs he scored are useless but we wanted him to stay on the wicket for at-least 1 more session completely and the way to get out was really silly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Adnan. He has a lot of ability with the bat.

 

[Sam18696]

Cmon Adnan

 

[Bullet Drive]

bahi i m also fan of u akmal but i never suggest that drop shafiq for u akmal but most fans on pp insisted that after zimbo series shafiq should drop u akmal

Despite how nicely Shafiq batted, Umar Akmal is still best man for us at 6 but after this class knock Shafiq should play for some time.

 

[Batman]

PAK | 5/372 | Lead by 123

 

[Batman]

Need a 50+ stand between these twos

 

[Haroon786]

Adnan needs to get a 30.
