[Noork85]

Well its back to being tuk tuk ali

 

[sanakazmi]

Shh.... no need to get personal with "senior players"


What goes at Movenpick...stays at Movenpick.

I thought MIG was a younsta.

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

how come south africa didnt select IMRAN TAHIR as spinner
a leg spin bowler who has qualified 4 them........he has gr8 1st class record
strange!

 

[ZAK]

Dale Steyn is back.

 

[Noork85]

current exchange prices are:

Pakistan 999/1
Saffers 109/1
The Draw: No offers on the back side but you can lay it at 1/100

if somebody like Mad Max has half a team in his pocket, this is the type of situation where you can make a killing

if i see an avalanche of money coming in to back Saffers at 109/1 and within minutes that weight of money forces the price down to something nonsensical, say 10/1, and then a few overs later Pak start to drop wickets like confetti, then that would indicate that a fix is on

i'm not suggesting this is likely to happen, i think this current team is very clean

i'm just outlining the kind of scenario that i have witnessed in the past when certain other players have been in the team

 

[NJamal]

Come on hit some damn sixes

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

Come on hit some damn sixes

sixes lol

 

[jasimisbest2]

thank god i am not at the ground watching this match....

if i ever was i would literally walked upto Azhar Ali and hit him with Misbash bat....


Bloody hell, score some runs run atleast, we are scoring 1 run a over....

DRAW with some pride atleast!

 

[ZAK]

Maiden by Steyn. 141/3.

 

[Noork85]

I second that^

 

[sanakazmi]

check out azhar's strike rate, hehe.

 

[NJamal]

Maiden

 

[amirfanforlife]

Oh god.. I’m tired of seeing 141!

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

from day 1 pakistan was playin 4 draw
shame that pakistan cricket has gne so low in everything

 

[NJamal]

At least score some test runs for your own records

 

[ShehryarK]

Check out the session RR - 0.93!!

Brilliant stuff!

What a man! :aali

 

[ZAK]

Azhar Ali needs 21 more runs to overtake Salman Butt as our highest run scorer in Test Cricket this year.

 

[Acim]

Bloody hell, score some runs run atleast, we are scoring 1 run a over....

Even that is not needed, 20 maidens from here will do the job for yus.

Easy yaar how is the weather in MARS?

 

[easy_like_sunday]

Azhar inning in the context of the match is awesome. Grit determination that what you want to see in a test match! You guys shouldnt even comment when there is a test on , just watch T20 cricket only please.

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

pakistan going backwards they use 2 play these kind of cricket ways back in 1960s early 1970s playing 4 draws............

need a captain like TIGER IMRAN KHAN

this is so dam poorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[NJamal]

And another damn maiden

 

[Maula Jutt]

If we make 12 runs an over, we can still win this

 

[ShehryarK]

Last 10 ovs 5/0 RR 0.50





Quality Test batting - attritional, calm, measured. So patient and so much in control.

Grinding the fielders and the bowlers into submission through slow sleep-inducing torture...

 

[jasimisbest2]

Azhar Ali is a good player, but he really needs to know that sticking his bat out to every ball will not him a successfull player....

Pakistan should have won the first test and a draw int his would have given us series win...

Our top management really needs to pump the boys up for WINS and not DRAWS!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Misbah.

 

[Noork85]

Yayyy 142/3

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

Easy yaar how is the weather in MARS?

Well said, sir.

Seems some people have not seen a single Test.

This is the sort of innings that batsmen in the past would play easily, guys like and , but today's idiots would struggle to.

The champ doesn't care for such mere trifles. :aali

He's not in it for personal milestones.

 

[Milo]

Terrible match this. BTW I doubt that Pakistan should have won the first match, remember SA declared at two wickets down.

These pitches make results impossible.

 

[ZAK]

146/3.

 

[Noork85]

Misbah: draw felt like a world cup win.

 

[Noork85]

Hes preparing his presentation speech. Declaration coming

 

[Sledger]

Probably just 3 overs left, unless a wicket goes.

 

[NJamal]

Misbah should at least go for his 100

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

you should apply for job at ICC ACSU unit in place of belof. Btw, what were the odds when pak lost 3 wicketes at 66.

at start of today's play the draw was 1/3 ish, the highest it's been all day was 1/2

so the market has had high confidence that this team was going to save the day even when YK went for a duck

 

[Maula Jutt]

OH MY GOD, AZHAR HAS JUST HIT a 4...

It was after four consecutive maidens.

Hit it just to show that he can.

If he wanted to. Whenever he wanted to.

But he doesn't. So he won't.

[ZAK]

Kallis comes into the attack.

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

Kallis bowling with a heavy ball
