Pakistan vs England | 2nd Test | Dubai | Oct 22-26 | Day 1

[hussain.r97]

Shafiq walks out into a pressure situation again, and is still out there, looking set. But people here are complaining over his blocking, and want him to get out. Pathetic. He's striking at almost the same rate as Misbah, yet there's no criticism at Misbah?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq has played much much better then Younis Khan.

'Shafiq looks solid' - Atherton.

 

[JibranAnsari]

9 more overs to go. Game in balance.

 

[hussain.r97]

Asad Shafiq usually loses his wicket to the second new ball...... seems likely again today..

Hopefully not. He's got himself in, should weather through it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

RR under 3 now.

24 more for Misbah

 

[JibranAnsari]

131 kph and misbah made it 145kph

 

[Bullet Drive]

Disapointed with Sarf this series also. Big game for hjm.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wood has irish features.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Wood has irish features.

Bara ghoor se dekhrahe ho bhai

 

[Bullet Drive]

35* to Shaffers now.

Quality knock by him so far.

"he looks a good player to me"

 

[JibranAnsari]

 

[Amjid Javed]

supposidly 8 overs left to bowl todaty, i doubt that will happen!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq is cashing in before the second new ball gets him at slip )

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Disapointed with Sarf this series also. Big game for hjm.

He has to up his game with M Rizwan doing better and better in the ODI's.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Stokerzzzz bowling a good line outside off.

 

[Bullet Drive]

43 avg for Shafiq. Needs to get it to 45+ imo

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bara ghoor se dekhrahe ho bhai

Bhai cricket to boring he cricketers hee dekh lein

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good high elbow by shafiq. Akmal has the same hihh elbow but zero brains.

 

[dhump]

Pathetic of those saying Shafiq should get out...extremely poor comment for a Pakistan fan.

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 more to shafiq

247/4

 

[JibranAnsari]

7 overs to go. They should bowl 93 94 as we probably will lose overs tomorrow.

 

[JibranAnsari]

New ball taken.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah look at you!!!!



80* now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

250 up

 

[Bullet Drive]

People are harsh on Shafiq because of ODI cricket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

But once again [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] lack of cricket knowledge proven. Shafiq proves him wrong. #cantplayunderpressureLOL

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wow what swing

 

[Bullet Drive]

WTH!!!!!

Misbah hits a pull shot hahahahahahaa

This is the shot of the year.

Can Misbah get his ton today?

 

[JibranAnsari]

4

 

[JibranAnsari]

Swing at this hour will be dangerous. There could be two quick wickets here.

 

[Anchorman]

Ball starts swinging and Misbah smacks 2 boundaries in an over.

All hail the King.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Got to love Misbah either blocks or hits boundaries )

 

[Syed2015]

Wood has some weird run-up

 

[Bullet Drive]

MISBAH playing new ball well mA

Shafiq wont.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol funny noise in the stadium

 

[Justcrazy]

255/4

Misbah 84 not out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

270-4 is Pakistans day.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Slips waiting for Shafiqs edge.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Anderson will be deadly

 

[Shafi]

What's wrong with Zimbabwe They are getting hammered by over-hyped ordinary Afghanistan team

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq has confidence back on his face

 

[dhump]

270-4 is Pakistans day.

Would be amazing if we do so but important to keep just 4 wickets down till the end.

 

[dhump]

Always very nervous with these last 3 4 overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shafiq needs to stay solid here and not do anything stupid!

 

[Syed2015]

English fans as usual

 

[zabalestmsm]

Brave failed cut attempt from Shafiq. Such more attempts are needed. Fast bowlers must also be attacked.

Shafiq has the quality of attacking fast bowlers on the off side.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What are they singing?

 

[Bullet Drive]

41* to Shafiq.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lovely straight drive just didnt middle it well

 

[hussain.r97]

Get past the first 5 overs, and they'll be fine, then they can cash in.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lose no wickets today.

To top the day off would be SA beat India(with Kohli at MOTM) and AFG beat Zim(not that I support AFG, just want that series to be interesting)

Come on!

 

[Bullet Drive]

84* to Misb.

Wil he keep out the day?

 

[Bullet Drive]

I'd bowl a spinner with new chery.

 

[dhump]

How is the light situation will they bowl all overs ?

 

[Syed2015]

What's wrong with Zimbabwe They are getting hammered by over-hyped ordinary Afghanistan team

Theyve let slogger Shahzad get into his rhytm, and now he is set winning it for his team.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hahahaha im glad s ravi has left. He just gave a wrong decision in the india south africa match and gave faf not out when he was out

 

[Shafi]

Lose no wickets today.

To top the day off would be SA beat India(with Kohli at MOTM) and AFG beat Zim(not that I support AFG, just want that series to be interesting)

Come on!

Really sad to see Zimbabwe going down to hill very fast. What is Whatmore doing?

 

[hussain.r97]

A couple of boundaries here will really blunt the new ball.

 

[Shafi]

Theyve let slogger Shahzad get into his rhytm, and now he is set winning it for his team.

Drop catch??? Batting is keep getting worse

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bumble really praising shafiq

 

[Ahson8]

C'mon guys... hang in there.

 

[Ahson8]

Missed most of the day's play due studies today... And I haven't even studied much

 

[JibranAnsari]

A solid head on shafiqs shoulders.

Lol imaginr umar akmal in such situation

 

[Slog]

Bumble, Athers, Dean Jones have all praised Shafiq a lot today and earlier

 

[Slog]

Missed most of the day's play due studies today... And I haven't even studied much

Lol that's how it usually goes.

Neither get to watch the match not study

 

[zabalestmsm]

Two balls were there to hit but Misbah left it. Wastage.

 

[hussain.r97]

Missed most of the day's play due studies today... And I haven't even studied much
