[Oxy]

Guided down to 3rd man for 4 by YK.

170-4

Misbah needs to play the inngs of his life!

 

[Genghis]

Another over goes

Don't scare me like that ... first glimse at it and I read ... another one goes!!!

 

[CricnPak]

It's friday today I think the crowd will fill in today after the jumma prayer. We just need that support from our crowd.

Plus there's already a few more people comming in after every over. They are loud though, each 4 is greeted with a huge cheer.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

254 to get

 

[Oxy]

I'm going to lie down and watch this - I'll leave Hash in charge....

 

[12thMan]

Chokkkaaa by YK move to 112
170-4 - need 254 to win

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another over goes by

 

[Bobaran]

Four from Younis, 170/4

254 runs to go!

Even if we loose this, I'm proud of the way we fought back!

 

[asifp]

decent crowd in, one half of the NSK is half full so we're 25% which is decent for our recent standards

it would be 50% if PCB decided to have the 4th and 5th day on a Sat/Sun

test matches in Pakistan should be Wed- Sun

[Hash]

Don't scare me like that ... first glimse at it and I read ... another one goes!!!

yes so did i!

PLEASE don't do that

 

[Usman Chadda]

Misbah too defensive against Harris for my liking. Just play your natural game!

 

[asifp]

Four from Younis, 170/4

254 runs to go!

Even if we loose this, I'm proud of the way we fought back!

lets not speak too early ,

 

[Lightning]

Younus has great touch. What a player. And I remember someone saying that they had a feeling Younus was going to play an innings. Think it was Hash.

 

[Hash]

I'm going to lie down and watch this - I'll leave Hash in charge....

muahahahahahahah

 

[Lightning]

Don't scare me like that ... first glimse at it and I read ... another one goes!!!

 

[Saqib]

You should install the player first, than you have activate in the webbrowser.

 

[Hash]

I cant watch because I am at work but I presume Misbah is very nervous.

Younis should pat him ont he back, give him a brotherly hug (or arm around shoulder) and calm his nerves a bit.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another over ticks by

 

[Hash]

Younus has great touch. What a player. And I remember someone saying that they had a feeling Younus was going to play an innings. Think it was Hash.

after his unlucky dismissal in the first innings I said i had a feeling he would be laughing at a few people on here in a couple of days!

 

[CricnPak]

Misbah's either playing himself in or getting bogged down...Harris isn't bowling too bad for someone who can't spin the damn ball.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I cant watch because I am at work but I presume Misbah is very nervous.

Younis should pat him ont he back, give him a brotherly hug (or arm around shoulder) and calm his nerves a bit.

Oh I bet he needs that

 

[Saqib]

Mishbah playing himself in, it's a good thing in this test match. Play yourself in just like the South Africans did in the first innings don't let the bowlers take control of you.

 

[Islamabadi]

is this working for anyone ?

yes...if it doesn't work the first time try the link in a new window and remember Ie browser only

 

[Genghis]

Misbah too defensive against Harris for my liking. Just play your natural game!

As long as he stays in ... I am happy ... there were some people that said Misbah wasted some balls in the Twenty20 aswell when he came in, but he accelerated when he was set in. I am happy for Misbah to take his time to acclimatise himself with the conditions, but then he needs to be there for long.

 

[khalidali7070]

If younis gives misbah a brotherly something it will be a typical youni bud slap

 

[Lightning]

Beautiful off cutter from Nel.

 

[Lightning]

This match is making me tense. Imagine the pressure on Younus. If he goes, it's really all over.

 

[Oxy]

I cant lie down and watch - I'm as nervous as Mizbi!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another overs goes by

 

[Daoud]

As long as he stays in ... I am happy ... there were some people that said Misbah wasted some balls in the Twenty20 aswell when he came in, but he accelerated when he was set in. I am happy for Misbah to take his time to acclimatise himself with the conditions, but then he needs to be there for long.

Exactly. If a pair of recognised batsmen stay at the crease for 3-4 hours, then the match is pretty much won. Not much they can do from the pavilion though

 

[Lightning]

I think Saffies changing tactics against Younus. Trying to ball dot balls to him!

 

[MIG]

Bismillah parro har ball par aur ALLAH ka shukar karro kay we are still in the match and AssalamoAlikum All

 

[Hash]

I am suppose to be writing a meeting report

but i can't.

I am too nervous.

 

[Genghis]

I don't like maidens ... they make me tense!!!

 

[khalidali7070]

Just imagine if Aku had taken those catches in early in the game it would have been close to finish

 

[Hash]

Bismillah parro har ball par aur ALLAH ka shukar karro kay we are still in the match and AssalamoAlikum All

Wa Aalikum Assalam

 

[Lightning]

I cant lie down and watch - I'm as nervous as Mizbi!

Well if Misbah is nervous, he sure in hell isn't showing it with his calm demeanor!

 

[Oxy]

And Mizbi off the mark with a luscious cover drive for 4!

174-4

 

[Lightning]

Ripper from Misbah. Super shot for 4.

 

[khalidali7070]

right now it seems like we have mudasar nazar playing

 

[Hash]

Misbah off the mark

exactly 250 runs to win

 

[infamous9383]

anbody watching cbn looks like its a computer stream

 

[Hash]

we cannot allow SA to dictate terms to us. Keep the scoreboard ticking at all times.

 

[Yasin]

Finally Misbah off the mark with a boundary.

 

[iafzal]

Despite all the maidans and defensive play we are still scoring at the require 3 RR. Just need to be able to bat all day and win is ours

 

[Genghis]

Are the saffers cutting down on the singles or are we just not taking singles on offer?

 

[Pathan007]

anbody watching cbn looks like its a computer stream

that's bcz zee sports is covering Ind-Aus game.

 

[Bobaran]

Finally, Misbah gets of the mark with a four.

174/4

 

[Oxy]

Good yorker - and well dug out by Mizbi

 

[tauseefm]

anbody watching cbn looks like its a computer stream

yup, they are showing it from online stream for sure.. its like we are watching in slow motions on tv..lol

 

[Lightning]

Pretty impressive these bouncers from Nel. Getting batsman on the backfoot which is very dangerous on this pitch. Good tactics.

 

[UP]

dishnetwork is not showing pak vs sa match in canada but they r showing ind vs aus y? and also dishnetwork have rights for all pakistani home games till 2008.

 

[Lahoria]

Is it just me or is Nel getting decent bounce from this dead wicket.

 

[Lightning]

anbody watching cbn looks like its a computer stream

Yeah it's pretty annoying.

Anyway, every single being cheered at the NSK.

 

[Oxy]

This TKC ad is funny!

Malik - 'Come and have a dinner with me'!

 

[Hash]

248 runs to win

 

[Lightning]

Is it just me or is Nel getting decent bounce from this dead wicket.

Yeah he's really bending his back. But he's also having to dig it really short to get it high enough. Still impressive.

 

[Lightning]

This TKC ad is funny!

Malik - 'Come and have a dinner with me'!

Yeah, there is one with bunch of Pak cricketers and all of em saying "come have a dinner with me." It's hilarious!

 

[Oxy]

4 byes - we'll take them any way!

 

[Hash]

If only we had taken our chances in this match

would only have been around 150 to win right now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to play this session by session, hopefully get to lunch just 4 wickets down and then pay it from there.

 

[Hash]

4 byes - we'll take them any way!

what about 5 penalty runs followed by a forfeit?

 

[Hash]

Pakistan need to play this session by session, hopefully get to lunch just 4 wickets down and then pay it from there.

pay?

Is this match fixed?

 

[Oxy]

180-4

Drinks break

 

[kablooee87]

If only we had taken our chances in this match

would only have been around 150 to win right now.

There weren't many chances in the 2nd innings. So you're saying SA would have declared for 320 ish?

 

[yasir]

Any body live stream link for Pak vs SA match?

 

[MIG]

btw, is it Jumat-al Wida in Pakistan today ?

 

[Lightning]

Pakistan need to play this session by session, hopefully get to lunch just 4 wickets down and then pay it from there.

I think they need to forget everything and just play ball by ball.

 

[Lahoria]

The more see Faisal Iqbal and Misbah bat the more I realize they would be absolutely useless on bouncy tracks.

 

[CricnPak]

Out of all the recent games in the last 10 years where we have been in the same position (speaking kolkata and headingly) this is probably the best start yet.

 

[the true passionist]

76 overs to go!
Misbah should rotate the strike a bit. He is letting the bowlers to settle into a rhythm.

 

[Lightning]

Lahoria. yeah i get the same feeling. They don't really do anything with the short ball and don't ride the bounce. On the other hand, Younus looks in total control.

 

[Hash]

There weren't many chances in the 2nd innings. So you're saying SA would have declared for 320 ish?

First innings, dropped three catches and missed two run outs.

I am saying that probably cost us 100 runs in total.

 

[Mercenary]

Cant believe Im gonna miss this, match days should be holidays!!

 

[Hash]

Out of all the recent games in the last 10 years where we have been in the same position (speaking kolkata and headingly) this is probably the best start yet.

Not probably....I would say definitely.

244 runs to win.

 

[Mercenary]

First innings, dropped three catches and missed two run outs.

I am saying that probably cost us 100 runs in total.

Yes but SA would just have batted for longer in the second innings instead and made the runs up

 

[kablooee87]

First innings, dropped three catches and missed two run outs.

I am saying that probably cost us 100 runs in total.

yea but the point I'm making is that SA wouldn't have declared where they did if we got them out earlier in the 1st innings.

 

[xbox]

Freaking Zsports. I rather have Dishnetwork show this game on payperview so people have option to buy or not. Now Z suppose to show these games but they are showing India V Aus

 

[Hash]

Yes but SA would just have batted for longer in the second innings instead and made the runs up

they were 7 wickets down

wouldn't have scored that many more runs.
