[Islamabadi]

bhanja has no clue...how to play mendis

 

[Islamabadi]

39 more to avoid follow on

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Faisal Iqbal looking totally clueless against Mendis. He keeps reading him wrong and keeps missing...

 

[Genghis]

Bhanja has no idea about Mendis ... another play and miss.

 

[Islamabadi]

drinks break

 

[hussein]

should pak declare after avoiding hte follow on so they can get a resuklt?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Congrats to Younis Khan - not easy to score a double ton after the opposition has piled 644 runs and its your '1st' test as captain

[Da Best]

Drinks break.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

No matter how much people said Malik doesn't deserve a palce in the side he played better than Misbah or Faisal
I am not talking about the runs scored but the way he played his shots and how comfortably he was playing mendis murli and the fast bowlers compared to Misbah and Faisal

Yar **** I really need to use a typing tutor and stop using mobile slang my written english was never this bad

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

should pak declare after avoiding hte follow on so they can get a resuklt?

How do you propose we get a result if we declare after avoiding the follow on?

We will still be 200 runs short

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Not to mention, he has been out their the whole of yesterday, and half of today already. Very good effort under pressure!

 

[Islamabadi]

asim kamal has to play the next game... i don't like bhanja wasting my time

Yeah he was very comfortable, good partnership by him and YK BUT its a shame he had to get run out cos the way he was playing he could have gotten himself a big score

 

[Genghis]

Misbah played them well. It was a good ball from Fernando that got him. As for Faisal, no one expected anything from him.
Malik though surely deserves his place in the side.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

asim kamal has to play the next game... i don't like bhanja wasting my time

Fawad Alam should be ahead in the pecking order BUT aslong as it means to Bhanja i aint too fussed

 

[hussein]

How do you propose we get a result if we declare after avoiding the follow on?

We will still be 200 runs short

yes and sri lankla would play fast, and delcare about 300 lead..

Malik is no doubt a very good player and in good form right now. He is one of our top 3 batsman at the moment. Also, he didn't get out by lbw or bowled or caught. He got run out, which is unfortunate.

 

[Islamabadi]

4 more for younsi

 

[Islamabadi]

35 more to avoid follow on

 

[Genghis]

Nicely found the gap there by Younis... FOUR!!! Lovely!!!

 

[Da Best]

Nice four from Younis.

 

[Noman]

I havent been following the match, Is the pictch really dead or what?

So many runs?

 

[Genghis]

Another 50 run partnership as well. Pak has had a lot of good partnerships, whereas SL just had one big one!

 

[Islamabadi]

that was a great shot!!!!!!!!!!

 

[iafzal]

there is not much be done to get result from here.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

I havent been following the match, Is the pictch really dead or what?

So many runs?

Yes.

 

[Genghis]

I havent been following the match, Is the pictch really dead or what?

So many runs?

No its a bowlers paradise!

 

[161]

I think YK should start treating Faisal as a tailender and just keep him off of strike

 

[pak4life]

gosh were still over 200 runs behind. Hope we dont get complacent we can still lose from here.

 

[khanz141]

53 partnership. And look at how much banja has contributed, Faisal Iqbal 13; ) ) while Younis Khan 36

 

[Islamabadi]

I havent been following the match, Is the pictch really dead or what?

So many runs?

what have u been watching....there is nothing in this for any kind of bowler...apart from fernando last spell where he was getting ball to reverse a lot

 

[Islamabadi]

bhanja to face mendis again... should be interesting

 

[Islamabadi]

2 more for younis

 

[Islamabadi]

add 2 more... 30 more to avoid follow on

 

[Random Aussie]

should pak declare after avoiding hte follow on so they can get a resuklt?

Well yeah but only one result is possible. And it is not a Pakistan win.

 

[Genghis]

Younis asking why Bhanja didn't want to run the third there... fair enough he doesn't want to face Mendis!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

yes and sri lankla would play fast, and delcare about 300 lead..

That makes no sense

SL wont declare at 300, they will ensure WE cant win

 

[Islamabadi]

Younis asking why Bhanja didn't want to run the third there... fair enough he doesn't want to face Mendis!

he survives

 

[Islamabadi]

younis the kuptaan averages 80

 

[hussein]

That makes no sense

SL wont declare at 300, they will ensure WE cant win

but why would they do that

 

[Genghis]

Younis averages almost 80 as a captain!

 

[iafzal]

Since result is not possible I would like Pak to give SL there own medicine and bat till they score 700 runs. Good free batting practice for all the batsman against the M&M

 

[Savak]

Waqar once again reiterating that he wanted YK as his VC when he was the captain under Tauqir Zia but YK refused.

 

[Islamabadi]

Since result is not possible I would like Pak to give SL there own medicine and bat till they score 700 runs. Good free batting practice for all the batsman against the M&M

that would be fun

 

[Islamabadi]

hit over the top for four

 

[Zeenix]

4 by YK

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Bhanje ko gussa aa gaya...

 

[Genghis]

FOUR to Bhanja ... using his feet down the ground to Murali!

 

[Islamabadi]

24 needed to avoid follow on

 

[iafzal]

that would be fun

btw I lived in F-6/1

 

[Islamabadi]

4 by YK

bhanja could play a little too

 

[Islamabadi]

btw I lived in F-6/1

I-8/1

 

[Zeenix]

bhanja could play a little too

That explains the Misshit four

 

[iafzal]

I-8/1

went to school in F-8/4

 

[Genghis]

Wow ... Bhanja just survived 4 balls form Mendis again ... maybe he's decoded him!

 

[HuZi]

Sixerrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Asad7]

another six by YK

 

[Islamabadi]

younis with another 6

 

[Genghis]

Another big big SIX from Younis off Murali!

 

[Asad7]

16 more needed to avoid follow on

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

After the follow on, they should attempt to really go for the big shots and score quick...

 

[Islamabadi]

younis has killed murli in this game

 

[Islamabadi]

bhanja survives

 

[Asad7]

Bhanja lucky there

 

[Islamabadi]
