[NJamal]

Cheema back

 

[osee_bhai]

Juni ends a great spell.

Cheema needs to contribute.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Time for :cheema to strike!

 

[NJamal]

When is the new ball due

after 38 overs, lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

Flat as anything , we are not going to get any wicket. I remember how we saved tests in Uae.

 

[SwingNSeam]

great innings by sanga thou

 

[Sherlock]

Sanga Triple hundred anyone?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sanga Triple hundred anyone?

Could be iif they bat all day

 

[JibranAnsari]

dropped catches back to haunt us

 

[NJamal]

351/5

 

[Osman]

cmon we can still win this in sha Allah!

 

[SwingNSeam]

's catch was pretty simple

 

[NJamal]

Cheema warned by Hill for running on the pitch.

 

[osee_bhai]

give azhar ali a bowl.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Need to get them all out in next 22 overs, come on guys shabaaash. In fact we can use another 30 overs.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Seriously give YK a bowl

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

So the lead is only what 40? If we get two quick wickets we'll win it wishful thinking

 

[SwingNSeam]

67 overs left.

 

[SwingNSeam]

20 mins till lunch

 

[Ryankhan]

Seriously give YK a bowl

i was thinking the same and he could swing the ball and would be usefulll. if dhoni was captain. by now all players on the field would have bowled a couple of overs........sometimes a part timer could do what a regular bowler cant do.......we can try out azar-taufeeq n younis in search for a wkt. only if idiot hafeez n riaz didnt dropped those sitters

 

[Watsupdoc]

Not carried again

 

[SwingNSeam]

"Just realised they have not held a single catch this innings. All lbws, bowleds and run-outs"- Cricinfo

 

[Watsupdoc]

yea need to try something different. The pitch is as flat as ever.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Maiden over by :cheema

 

[Watsupdoc]

We should all thank for his awesome innings in the first innings.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Come on a wicket before lunch

 

[SwingNSeam]

Need a wicket before lunch badly

 

[JibranAnsari]

We should all thank for his awesome innings in the first innings.

say thanks to fielders , specially wahab.

 

[insaftak]

wish we had golden arm in the team today

 

[cricfan4ever]

nothing happening out there...need a wicket before lunch or else...

 

[osee_bhai]

I think Gul's spell before lunch is critical now, last hope.

 

[Love Pakistan]

This match is gonna be a tie guys!

 

[chaiwala]

Warned again!

 

[amirfanforlife]

Damn, second warning.

 

[Watsupdoc]

2 warnings

 

[Misbah01]

Just run hardly on the pitch man, even if that result in end of match for him. Atleast it will help Gul n Junaid

 

[SwingNSeam]

Bring in

 

[Love Pakistan]

What if we lose Cheema for the rest of the innings! He is one warning away now!

 

[Watsupdoc]

say thanks to fielders , specially wahab.

well yes fielders + Shafiq.

 

[SwingNSeam]

[insaftak]

[SwingNSeam]

Man is just bowling straight dollies no turn on this pitch at all

 

[Ryankhan]

[shahidafridi123]

[SwingNSeam]

361-5

 

[osee_bhai]

hey guys, just woke up, whats the score? dont tell me we still haven't bowled em out!

Not even close.

 

[sachin_]

tail will fold bhai...ajmal is too hot to handle for the tail

 

[Watsupdoc]

Would Rehman be a better choice than Ajmal?

 

[shahidafridi123]

Not even close.

361-5

Seriously! 361/5 Sanga double yet??? Any dropped chances???

 

[SwingNSeam]

tail will fold bhai...ajmal is too hot to handle for the tail :)

+1

 

[spoiled]

ramiz talks about pakistan's bench strength and no mention of farhat..

 

[Misbah01]

tail will fold bhai...ajmal is too hot to handle for the tail

Ajmal is having cold bhai lol

 

[insaftak]

dont do that

lol i went looking for it

That wasnt funny

Feel like slapping yA j/k

Bored of my mind. This is never ending torture. stupid hafeez issed:

 

[SwingNSeam]

Seriously! 361/5 Sanga double yet??? Any dropped chances???

No but a few close calls...I think!

Pitch is flat, batsman are well set.

 

[chaiwala]

Too short from Ajmal

 

[Watsupdoc]

hey guys, just woke up, whats the score? dont tell me we still haven't bowled em out!

Don't worry we will bowl them out (next year).

 

[Ryankhan]

by the way, the pitch has got nothing for the bowlers so far. ajmal did his best not no spin in the pitch so the bowlers are not to blame. the fielders cost us this match already cuz sanga n wk jaywardene were dropped early on.. so now they have settle themselves and its hard to get a wkt on such a flat track. pity the bowlerz

 

[Watsupdoc]

The pitch seems to have gotten flatter and flatter, as the test match has progressed.

 

[qamar84]

come boys come on need a wickets

 

[sachin_]

pakistan top order batted at a snail pace...that will come back to bite real hard

 

[shahidafridi123]

I am disappointed with Pak team!!!!! Congrats Watsupdoc for 5,000 runs!!!

 

[SwingNSeam]

When's the next test? Anybody knows?

Completely agree, but Shafiq is all so to be blamed with his world class innings...

 

[Watsupdoc]

When's the next test? Anybody knows?

I think Dubai

 

[SwingNSeam]

I think Dubai

When is it? Do you know?
