[mosh101]

Irfan ka drone hamla

 

[asif9137]

good yorker

 

[asif9137]

chalo irfan looks injuried

 

[MarkCooper]

Irfan is bowling at Bopara pace haha!

My granny can bowl faster!

 

[Sheikh]

Would like to break this partnership before the new ball is due. Nick another one at the end of the day and I'd happily take a close of play score of about 270/6.

 

[Batman]

Ok guys a wicket is coming before they score 300, And i am sure

Thats long way from here on, we need more than 1 wicket until they reach there.

 

[asif9137]

irfan should stop now

 

[hur rizvi]

Irfan struggling, Game over for Pakistan if he cant bowl

 

[imshally81]

Injured? ?

 

[Batman]

Irfan back in again but not looking good though!

 

[asif9137]

he is out

 

[mosh101]

Bas khatam irfan !

 

[Sheikh]

This was what, Irfan's 4th spell? One too many for my liking.

 

[hur rizvi]

Irfan is off

That is why he shouldnt be playing test matches

 

[hur rizvi]

Give these 4 balls to a part timer

 

[doctordamor]

Yes we all know better, how many times we going to see it, Irfan should not play test period

 

[Batman]

Irfan walking back to the pavillion

 

[asif9137]

juni to finish

 

[Batman]

Junaid to complete his over.

 

[asif9137]

irfan is not test material..his fitness is worry

 

[hussain.r97]

I don't think Irfan is injured, he just got cramps, many players get that in UAE...

 

[Ahson8]

Irfan's fitness is an issue

 

[mosh101]

Fitness problems

 

[asif9137]

no pace by juni...

 

[hur rizvi]

I don't think Irfan is injured, he just got cramps, many players get that in UAE...

I he cant even bowl 15 overs a day, he shouldnt be playing test cricket

 

[WebGuru]

Thats long way from here on, we need more than 1 wicket until they reach there.

I was just kidding

We really need dismiss both of these guys ASAP.

 

[mosh101]

Bowling is boring, I cant wait till we bat

 

[asif9137]

175

 

[hur rizvi]

Disastrous session so far for Pakistan

 

[Batman]

4/175.

 

[asif9137]

SA still have one speacialist batsman

 

[hur rizvi]

So basically we are left with 2 bowlers , Junaid and Ajmal

 

[asif9137]

ALL south african attacking babar

 

[hur rizvi]

SA still have one speacialist batsman

Remember Peterson winning MOM award in Capetown for his batting

 

[asif9137]

no maiden overs by chacho babar

 

[KA$H]

This was what, Irfan's 4th spell? One too many for my liking.

yep i feel he's been over bowled today

 

[asif9137]

need ajmal or azhar or shan to bowl

 

[Sheikh]

Irfan's fitness is not an issue. He simply shouldn't be bowling 4 separate spells in the first 60 overs of a test match. He has to be taken care of and used wisely.

I'd use him for 6 overs in his opening spell. Another 5 overs right at the end with the 2nd new ball. And a 5-6 over spell in the middle.

 

[imshally81]

why ajmal is hiding ??

 

[Batman]

Iwas just kidding

We really need dismiss both of these guys ASAP.

Yep, but our bowling not threatning, they might get 300 without any further wicket down.

 

[hur rizvi]

Irfan's fitness is not an issue. He simply shouldn't be bowling 4 separate spells in the first 60 overs of a test match. He has to be taken care of and used wisely.

I'd use him for 6 overs in his opening spell. Another 5 overs right at the end with the 2nd new ball. And a 5-6 over spell in the middle.

Surely a fitness issue, 14.2 overs is not that much of a work load

 

[asif9137]

chisti is back and i mute my tv

 

[Batman]

4/177.

 

[Sheikh]

Don't burn Junaid out either. 18 overs until the new ball, we should bowl the spinners until then. Hopefully they can nick one out.

 

[asif9137]

will this crowd be there tomorrow on eid's day

 

[hur rizvi]

Take Junaid off..

 

[asif9137]

44444444444444

 

[Batman]

444444444 Amla again

 

[asif9137]

juniad was getting reverse before tea but not now

 

[Kianig89]

SA are set a big haul now

 

[asif9137]

amla is on 88. need 12 for well deserving 100

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Is Misbah going to make Junaid bowl 25 overs today?

 

[Asif321]

Irfan is only bowler who can get wickets , but again his fitness has hit him hope he is okay

 

[Kianig89]

we dearly miss a tearaway right arm quickee

 

[Sam18696]

Lol. So much for our 'secret weapon'
This match is SA's no doubt

 

[Sam18696]

Lol. So much for our 'secret weapon'
This match is SA's no doubt

 

[Batman]

4/181.

 

[Kianig89]

looks like now we are playing with 2 bowlers as Irfan injured and ZulfiqarB is on debut denting

 

[asif9137]

babar chacho to continue

 

[Fahdi]

Didnt see much movement with the new ball and not seeing any reverse swing now, actually its been a while since Pakistan utilised reverse swing, weren't we experts in that?

 

[Sheikh]

Surely a fitness issue, 14.2 overs is not that much of a work load

14.2 out of 60 is too much. He shouldn't be bowling more than 15-17 overs in a day.

Irfan's an awkward, nonathletic 7 footer who started playing cricket very late on. He needs to be handled carefully and not overused. As I said, use him wisely in fewer spells.

 

[asif9137]

amla taking easy

 

[asif9137]

almost half chance

 

[Batman]

Nearly out by landed in no man's land.

 

[Kianig89]

its just like pigeon vs cat atm hopefull the pigeon will hold of for 10 days

 

[Batman]

4/183.

 

[asif9137]

ajmal on for crucial session

 

[Batman]

Ajmal returns

 

[asif9137]

i sense 1 LBW in 10 balls

 

[Sheikh]

Yup, 16 over spell for our spinners (8 apiece). Come on now, nick one out.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Spinners have to bowl 20 overs straight and give Junaid a rest.

 

[Batman]

Hoping Ajmal to take wicket soon

 

[asif9137]

2

 

[Batman]

Wicket-less so far

 

[Asif321]

what a fielder khurram

 

[Batman]

4/186.

 

[asif9137]

49 for duminy
