[saiyan0312]

[Bilal7]

[amjad145]

Is it out?

 

[Afridi96]

1st strike!

 

[chaiwala]

Nice start for Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be interesting to spin early here

 

[ViciousMachine]

yesssssss!!! dream start!! Hope coming back!!

 

[jattafridi]

almost drop pakistan fielding

 

[iafzal]

almost dropped got lucky in the end. What you expect

 

[imshally81]

He might have dropped that

Exactly....

 

[Red Devil]

Amla in

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I think Pak have underestimated their own pacers. Irfan and Junaid bowling good lines and lengths.

 

[Bilal7]

Shan Masood's checklist continued:

3) Good catching and reflexes- check.

 

[chaiwala]

The beast walks in. If you get this man early, now that will be something special.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shan has his first catch at International level

 

[Saeed]

3 more wickets before 10 overs we will be in ferrari.

 

[hur rizvi]

Amla, probably their best batsman in these conditions

 

[Red Devil]

Attempted Yorker

 

[Bilal7]

Everyone's favorite batsman comes to the crease. Hopefully not for long, InshAllah.

 

[saiyan0312]

hashim amla on.... we get him early we really dent him.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brilliant bowling so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to hold on to all catches.

 

[chaiwala]

Shan Masood's checklist continued:

3) Good catching and reflexes.

Reflexes yes, but catching is inconclusive. He was pretty lucky the ball happened to land on his hands after he spilled it.

 

[starbuck]

Good catch by Masood. Pakistan need to get Amla out early

 

[hur rizvi]

I think Pak have underestimated their own pacers. Irfan and Junaid bowling good lines and lengths.

If anything Pakistan fast bowlers are overrated

 

[Bilal7]

Amla, probably there best batsman in these conditions

In any conditions.

 

[imshally81]

Pitch is looking damn Flat... I think.... it will not support the spinners too

 

[hur rizvi]

In any conditions.

In all conditions i think KAllis is better

 

[Justcrazy]

has a staggering average in ODI and Test

 

[Red Devil]

145 kph Junaid

 

[saiyan0312]

oh inside edge but saved by the pads.

 

[Bullet Drive]

145kph 90mpph by Junaid in a test match.

 

[speed]

145.5

 

[imshally81]

and People was saying that... Irfan will not in the test team

 

[chaiwala]

Pitch is looking damn Flat... I think.... it will not support the spinners too

Yup, both teams will pile on runs after the new ball phase.

 

[Red Devil]

Junaid just bowle 90 MPH

 

[Bilal7]

Reflexes yes, but catching is inconclusive. He was pretty lucky the ball happened to land on his hands after he spilled it.

True but lets give it to him anyways.

 

[saiyan0312]

quick bowl.... on pads it hitted but safe.

 

[Saeed]

Good bowling from JK.

 

[Justcrazy]

Abdul Qureshi: "Credit for this wicket goes to Adnan! had he not leaked the extra run, there would have been no wicket. Gotta credit the Akmals somehow." Good observation, Abdul


)

 

[Red Devil]

That looked close

 

[saiyan0312]

loud appeal for lbw.

 

[imshally81]

Huge Shout....

 

[chaiwala]

Dude that was close. Smith was literally covering the stumps.

 

[saiyan0312]

no appeal.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Junaid is class. Troubling Smith

 

[imshally81]

very close

 

[Red Devil]

7-1 after 4 Overs

 

[hur rizvi]

Good over from Junaid

 

[Bullet Drive]

What an over by junaid

Manzoor is a brilliant fielder.

 

[Justcrazy]

bowling well

 

[saiyan0312]

Junaid went all out in that over... 145kph...

 

[imshally81]

Dude that was close. Smith was literally covering the stumps.

Go for review....

 

[chaiwala]

Why is Smith taking guard outside off stump? He will be really prone to lbw.

 

[WebGuru]

Two 140+ deliveries in this over by Juni.

 

[Bilal7]

Pakistan looking pumped after the wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

7 / 0 after 4

 

[saiyan0312]

Edged and over the top....

 

[Red Devil]

Edged! over the fielders head

 

[ViciousMachine]

omgggg!! edge over slips

 

[Saeed]

I think dropped.

 

[hur rizvi]

Smith lucky

 

[Justcrazy]

I am itching to see how spinners bowl here

 

[Bilal7]

Edged. Ooooh!

 

[imshally81]

Smith is walking wicket

 

[saiyan0312]

edged are happening. we just need them to go to fielders and the best part is slips doesn't have blessed in all facets in it.

 

[chaiwala]

Leave those Smith. That's three feet outside off stump.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

edgy .

 

[hur rizvi]

I think dropped.

No it was way over his head

 

[Red Devil]

Huge Appeal

 

[hur rizvi]

Smith is walking wicket

He averages 49, if he settles he scores big hundreds

 

[Munna]

Smith is living dangerously for sure

 

[Asif321]

nice effort khurram

 

[chaiwala]

Smith is taking a guard outside off stump, and playing balls he should be leaving.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If anything Pakistan fast bowlers are overrated

Irfan and Junaid look like taking a wicket every ball. They are bowling very well considering that this is a batting surface
