[Aman]

Toss should be in a hour from now.

 

[Kianig89]

here we go A series which might confirm Pakistan as minnows if things go drastically wrong

 

[Asif321]

pressure on

 

[Kianig89]

no Ramiz on TEn

 

[Kianig89]

but we have :vicky who is raring with all guns balzing lamenting the loss vs ZIm

 

[Kianig89]

babar n Shan debuts

 

[Asif321]

Shaan Masood and Zulfiqar babar have got the test cap from misbah

 

[Bilal7]

Babar and Masood get their debuts. Rehman and Shehzad probably left out.

 

[Kianig89]

Shan looks like Benny from Millers crossing

 

[Bilal7]

Not sold on the Masood decision, lets hope he proves us wrong.

 

[Kianig89]

i wanna see bowl on fresh wicket

 

[Kianig89]

Not sold on the Masood decision, lets hope he proves us wrong.

agreed but fingers crossed

 

[Bilal7]

Players making dua to the All-Mighty on this blessed day. Nice to see, MashAllah.

 

[Asif321]

so 3 spinners ? or 2 pacers

 

[Kianig89]

i hope there are 2 pacers

 

[iHammad]

Ten Sports rubbing in the wounds by showing Fawad Alam's debut.

 

[Kianig89]

:vicky says 2 spinner are enough 3 will be a worry agreed

 

[Square Drive]

Players making dua to the All-Mighty on this blessed day. Nice to see, MashAllah.

Really? Glad to hear that.

 

[Kianig89]

pitch report with kepler looks flat

 

[Asif321]

Bat first is the call

 

[Kianig89]

sya its a phatta

 

[Bilal7]

A classic pitch. Something in it for everyone, expected to spin by the end of day 3.

 

[Professor]

Looking foward to Masood and Manzoor. Hopefully both can be a solution to our opening problem.

 

[Bilal7]

Really? Glad to hear that.

Yup. Kuptaan led them.

 

[Asif321]

waqar saying pakistan should go with 3 seamers an 1 spinner

 

[Square Drive]

Let's hope we bat first!

 

[iHammad]

Missing Ramiz Raja on straight drive.

 

[Square Drive]

Yup. Kuptaan led them.

Nice!

Any idea of what they were praying for?

 

[Asif321]

who is this new guy on straight drive

 

[iHammad]

Basit Ali saying Ahmed Shehzad should've played instead of Shan Masood.

 

[Kianig89]

way too big commercial breaks this will get more painful by the SL series beacuse of GEo super

 

[Bilal7]

In other news, Yusuf Pathan is getting marries in 6-8 months.

[Asif321]

[Saeed]

way too big commercial breaks this will get more painful by the SL series beacuse of GEo super

Watch it on PTV.

 

[Kianig89]

Zohaib who was in the Champions Trophy reporter for ten also was the host during Ind vs Pak earlier this year

 

[iHammad]

yar Fawad ke ilawa bhi players mistreate ho rahe hain like Haris Sohail,Sohaib Maqsood,Umar Akmal..kabhi unhein bhi yad kar liya karein..

Bilkul sahi baat hai, hum toh saare unfairly treated players ko yaad karte hain.

 

[Asif321]

In other news, Yusuf Pathan is getting marries in 6-8 months.

thats one year old interview , yusuf has married already

 

[Kianig89]

Watch it on PTV.

they mostly discuss off the field agendas

 

[iHammad]

Basit: wrong pitch has been made, not made according to Pakistan home series.

 

[Kianig89]

:vicky also is in favour of being dropped says its a postive move by the way Shan talking

 

[iHammad]

Shan Masood has great english!! OMG!

 

[Saeed]

they mostly discuss off the field agendas

Its better to see off field agendas than 20 minutes long ads.

 

[Kianig89]

says dream come true interviewer saying ready for steyn Philly Shan saying has helped me prepared

 

[iHammad]

Loving Shan Masood's attitude, honestly hope he does well.

 

[Kianig89]

Brain Murtgaydrod if i have spelled rightly he is a horrible commentator will remind us of Chisty also Brain n Kepler together will be

 

[Bilal7]

Shan Masood's checklist:

1) Good command of the English language- check.
2) Intelligence- check.

More to come.

 

[Saeed]

Lol anchor switched from mixed urdu english to punjabi.

 

[Bilal7]

Its better to see off field agendas than 20 minutes long ads.

Geo Super's adds are much more frequent and repetitive.

 

[MRSN]

Shan Masood has great english!! OMG!

yep surprise that..let's hope his batting is as good too..

 

[Kianig89]

whats this an ugly faced interviewer with Rohit Sharma who says was very challenging to face

 

[iHammad]

Basit Ali comparing Miandad's batting brain to Hafeez's!! Wth... )

 

[Saeed]

Shan Masood's checklist:

1) Good command of the English language- check.
2) Intelligence- check.

More to come.

Why the obsession with good english?

 

[Kianig89]

Rohit likes Beyonce

 

[Kianig89]

Basit Ali comparing Miandad's batting brain to Hafeez's!! Wth... )

the guy is a tool

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

I personally wanted Shezad to play but Congrats to Masood, show us that you belong.

I am way more interested in seeing who bats at 6, Shafiq or Umar Amin

 

[MRSN]

Why the obsession with good english?

yeah what's missing on his checklist is his fc record..

 

[Kianig89]

1st dose of Kepler starts

 

[Asif321]

Southafrica batting first

 

[Kianig89]

time for toss

 

[iHammad]

We are bowling first.

Oh my...

 

[WebGuru]

And we are gonna field.

 

[MRSN]

Misbah loses another important toss...he must be really happy with the Smith's decision though.

 

[Kianig89]

Sa batting outfield is lush expect some :4

 

[Bilal7]

Shoot. Smith won the toss.

InshAllah we'll get them out by the end of today.

 

[starbuck]

SA won the toss and unsurprisingly they bat first

 

[iHammad]

Junaid and Irfan playing

 

[Asif321]

2 spinners and 2 seamers , Zulfi ahead of rehman
Irfan and junaid are the seamers

 

[WebGuru]

Misbah body language is looking negative i don't know why but he is not looking good after losing the toss.

 

[Kianig89]

2 spinners for Pak thankfully

 

[Kianig89]

misbah is probaby suffering from bad throat

 

[Paradox]

Masood spends a lot of his time living in the UK, goes to college there too I believe.. so don't be surprised at his English. Follow his Twitter, says enough!

[Square Drive]

Team?

 

[Bilal7]

Irfan, Junaid, Babar, Ajmal for our attack.

Misbah looking disappointing by the conditions. Bad signs these.

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

So, are they gonna score 400 or 500

 

[Kianig89]

misbah ki tabiyat kharab lagti hai boss nazla zukam khansi bukhaar

 

[doctordamor]

why can't we win the toss? This is same 2007 strategy being employed, SA beat the crap out of us in 2007 tour as they won the toss and our spin bowling went missing, once again same strategy and we lose the toss

 

[Bilal7]

Misbah body language is looking negative i don't know why but he is not looking good after losing the toss.

Its the pitch.

Rehman left out because of a sore back.
