Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 2nd Test Match | Karachi | 19th-23rd December, 2019 | Day 3 Thread

Bazid needs to troll less Sri Lanka has owned us more times than we can even think it won’t be a surprise if they go onto even win from here. Bazid really gets quite ahead of himself more often than not

Agree with most of that but SL has owned us more times than we can even think? Not sure about that

We’ve been bowled out on 75 even on like 50 odi cricket I’m talking about in tests we couldn’t chase like 110 one time like 9 years ago kulasekra and herath have tormented us for years basically talking about what bazid is saying he just needs to shut up
 
Bazid is really setting himself up, isn't he? He probably has more confidence in these batsmen than the batsmen themselves :)))
 
Surprise come back from Pakistan. I am afraid, if Pakistan wins, Fawad will be dropped again without playing

Yeah, those are a few examples but overall Pak has been a much better team than SL across formats and has had the wood over them. But yeah, Bazid needs to shut up
 
This is outstanding batting. They are taking any chances of a draw out of the equation completely. Karachi is always good for batting on Day 3 and early part of Day 4. But this is just ruthless

Well they were far better in our last series against them. At times they went too far in supporting their team but still were not at all condescending to us despite our humilation.
 
Are people seriously criticising Bazid now too?
Lol. Give it a rest.

He's happy that we're doing good so he's overflowing a bit but it's fine. People really need to stop picking small stuff and making it into a big issue.
 
Wow man abid Ali what a story really feel for him. His batting and performance is the biggest slap on the face of nepotism in Pakistan cricket

He's performing against a depleted Sri Lankan bowling attack AT HOME.

It's good not impressive.

This is why Baz should be the commentator when we go abroad to England etc so that he can give a bit back to those folk and stand up rather than the likes of Ramiz and Wasim who turn into kittens lapping up to the hosts out there.
 
Pakistan lead by 95 runs , Lanka need wickets to make a comeback. Pakistan would look to bat out the day without much damage and get a big lead here , and maybe bat till Tea Tomorrow .

Yeah well he’s proven himself against Australia to in Odis as well his performance from a debutant is excellent regardless of the opposition. When in Pakistan do you ever see any good batsmen coming through none of our batsman have had starts even this good. The point is he earned his call very late justice was delayed is all I’m talking about

Nobody's making into a big issue. We're just saying that he's dragging it a bit and it's quite cringeworthy and unfunny. Just expressing opinions about what we're watching, which is what this forum is for.

Yeah it's good and all but it's a bit annoying when fans hype up players this much only for them to be left disappointed afterwards.
He's scored all these runs in the UAE and whatever opportunity he's gotten abroad he's failed.

But let's see how he does in England

And I'm saying that is wrong and I can say this because I'm allowed to express my opinion too.

I don’t even know about the opportunities he’s gotten abroad this is his second test match but Odis well I only seen him play once against Australia 100 than zero in uae has he played abroad ?

Shan's doing it. Babar did it in the last match.

It's really not that hard out there for the batsmen

Shan scored a magnificent 0 in the last game and a hard fought 5 in the previous innings whereas Abid is on the verge of his second century in this series. None of the other players have done what he has done.

Babar fans!
Over praise bobby but will under praise others.

Brilliant session, both abid and shaan need to get to triple figures.
A great platform set, should be easy for babar and shafiq to get centuries, now that abid and shaan have done all the hard work and taken the pressure off the others.
WARNING - after these two, theres only babar and shafiq left, dont expect much from the rest, so these four have to go big or we can still lose this game.

Nice to see shaan get some runs for a change.

He's not gotten many opportunities abroad but I remember he got a duck in the second practice match in Aus which is why he didn't get selected as our opener.

Doesn’t matter if we’ve been beaten black and blue you should still stand up for yourself and back the team or even at the very least have some background information on your own players. It’s embarrassing to hear Wasim and Ramiz fumble when the host commentators ask about where a certain player is from and etc.
 
Let's keep piling on the runs sad I gotta go to sleep and won't be able to watch the rest of the day hopefully I wake up to 425-0!
 
Any lead below 400 is fraught with danger on this pitch.

I'd say bat only half the day tomorrow so declare between the lunch and tea just to ensure we have enough time to bowl em out, plus by then with approximately 100 overs more we should have at least 500+ on the board, and there is no way Sri Lanka will chase down a 400+ plus target on a 4th and 5th day pitch.
 
I think 350 is minimum to be safe on this pitch. Doesn't seem like it'll deteriorate much. It will reverse here, but not sure we have the bowlers to exploit that.
 
Both Shaheen and Abbas have bowled 27 overs. We should bat as long as possible. This will give much needed rest to our bowling line-up.

Shaheen has been a work horse since the Australian tour for us constantly bowling 25+ he needs some much deserved rest.

Bazid did not take too kindly to that wishful thinking comment from Roshan :)))

he got offensive defensive the other day too when roshan asked bazid when the neutral umpires were introduced after a stat showed up that srilanka hadnt lost a series in pakistan since 1991.
 
When was the last time we had such a huge opening stand in tests? I’m trying hard to remember
 
I find it hilarious when ramiz gives batting tips in his commentary mate what did you average throughout your career like 28 lol
 
What a batting by Abid!!!! PCB wasted 10 years of his career. Congratulation!!!!
