[saiyan0312]

lead by 88 cmon guys lets cross the hundred mark today and by misbah gigantic shot..

 

[Sledger]

Misbah strikes another 6.

 

[cricketpassion]

hahah ) :6 after 100 tuk tuk

 

[Saudi]

Hahahaha What a

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar is a strokeless batsman, a poor mans Trott.

 

[DW44]

He does that every now and then... lol Ramiz. Indeed he does. :6 :6 :6

 

[ViciousMachine]

Explain

Lets say if we get a lead of 150, regardless of batting tactic (hitting or defending). It is better for Pakistan if RSA have to bat day 5!! So we not only need to score, but we want to bat until tea tomorrow

AND 6666666666666666666666666!!!!!!!!!

Misbah has a plan!! Believe in him!!!

 

[imshally81]

Explain

block block n 6

 

[alberto]

Great 6!

 

[Bilal7]

The crowd is definitely sleeping. No sound made as that ball sailed into the stands.

 

[nalsra_ladnog]

four

 

[Digital]

Super shot...treat to watch

 

[saiyan0312]

even ramiz knows he said misbah does thos often block, block, block,block and then hit.

 

[Justcrazy]

No need to show respect , the more you score the more pressure on SA.

 

[ekpakistani]

thats a nice way to shut ABD up .... well done misbah ..

 

[mosh101]

Jiyee misbahhhh

 

[saiyan0312]

The crowd is definitely sleeping. No sound made as that ball sailed into the stands.

They all got drunk watching these two batting and now are sleeping.

 

[Bilal7]

36.4
Peterson to Misbah-ul-Haq, SIX, gives it more air and he plonks forward and defends

LOL! Cricinfo probably using a template to describe each delivery bowled by Peterson!

 

[menace2society]

Fantastic batting from Misbah. This is what I like to see, a Pakistani batsmen taking control of a game.

 

[imshally81]

philander on

 

[saiyan0312]

philander is here now azhar should score...

 

[shakil]

End of Day 5

Misbah 55 (9992 balls)
Azhar 52 (10003 balls)

Kallis, Morkel, Peterson all injured

 

[mosh101]

Azhar and misbah for big tons?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

 

[alberto]

Strike rotation is important!Hence why we are rubbish at ODI.

 

[ViciousMachine]

philander on

Oh oh, this will be tricky. Hang on boys, just 25 mins left.

 

[saiyan0312]

misbah just needs one more six to catch upto azhar.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Philander ko bhi phanti mariooo plss.

 

[mosh101]

Hafeez should hide under those seats

 

[Sledger]

Pollock living in cloud cuckoo land.

 

[alberto]

Our tail need to get 50 runs.

 

[Saudi]

Pollock flattering us. No way we are getting 300, even as a lead.

 

[Square Drive]

This is good stuff from Azhar and Misbah. If they stay unbeaten until stumps today, we can get a lead of 250-275 tomorrow.

 

[Lara400]

Lets say if we get a lead of 150, regardless of batting tactic (hitting or defending). It is better for Pakistan if RSA have to bat day 5!! So we not only need to score, but we want to bat until tea tomorrow

AND 6666666666666666666666666!!!!!!!!!

Misbah has a plan!! Believe in him!!!

And what has that got to do with putting away bad deliveries?!?

 

[saiyan0312]

greatly stopped..... hit him hard

 

[Sledger]

Almost pierced the offside then but not quite.

 

[imshally81]

great shot n good field

 

[IAJ]

Lovely shooot, but no run

 

[alberto]

Azhar missed out on 4!

 

[fight_club]

Azhar Ali, can't find gaps it seems

 

[shan]

Pollock think SA can get 300+ batting last lol

 

[ViciousMachine]

damn, if only it had been us fielding, woulda been 4. Good try Azhar, just stay patient, almost to end of day!!

 

[jawad1]

azhar is very very unluckey

 

[pak4life]

Azhar just can't put the bad balls away should have been 2 4's in that over

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Nothing like a good old 2rpo grind: traditional Test cricket. Well, it's worked for Pakistan so far, most of the time, but Team Misbah have never faced an opposition this formidable before this tour.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

I dont know if its Azhar's style to play slow or just lack of cricketing shots in his arsenal. Plus finding gaps isn't his forte

 

[saiyan0312]

pollock believes in us more than ramiz and wow nice tuk for a single.

 

[imshally81]

1 lb

 

[ViciousMachine]

Pollock think SA can get 300+ batting last lol

given our pace bowling, it would be possible. But Ajmal does stand in their way

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pollock think SA can get 300+ batting last lol

SA wont evn get 190 trust me ajmal will rip them apart.

 

[Sledger]

No need for that with 7 overs left. Silly shot.

 

[saiyan0312]

azhar trying something ..

 

[shan]

Azhar you are not made for this.

 

[imshally81]

azhar also wanna join party.... but missed time n lucky

 

[shah_1]

Azhar is clueless against spin

 

[ViciousMachine]

AZHAR!! Calm down!! *** was that :/

stay patient bhai. 20 mins away....

 

[Supporter of Pak legends]

The snail squad is occupying the crease!

 

[Sledger]

Good running.

 

[imshally81]

good running

 

[saiyan0312]

now this is better single lead 96

 

[ViciousMachine]

great single!! Much better Azhar !!!

 

[RehanG]

:

 

[Justcrazy]

83 / 3

 

[wazzy]

Azhar has very limited abilities. He deserves to be in the side but it just only shows the dearth of talent in pakistan that batsman like Azhar are permanent members of the team.

 

[Sledger]

Robbo really is great to watch in full flow. What a guy.

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[Sledger]

Four, nothing shot. Just hung the bat out. Lucky.

 

[ViciousMachine]

And what has that got to do with putting away bad deliveries?!?

There are not many. There was a half volley 2 overs ago, and Azhar made a great drive, but even better fielding saved the 4.


and there you go! what a shotttt!! 4!!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

well i am glad azhar got runs in his belt and thats four by azhar 40 for him , he seems better against pace.

 

[Digital]

100 Lead another 200 more guys

 

[alberto]

Lead of 100!

 

[Sledger]

Lead is 100, SA will feel the pressure now.

 

[saiyan0312]

lead 100 soo i am happy.

 

[saiyan0312]

Lead is 100, SA will feel the pressure now.

Let the choke begin.

 

[saiyan0312]

azhar has spin problems.. he should work on it... i think he will slowly learn to cope with it..

 

[saiyan0312]

i think there was a nick but they dropped the catch i think

 

[alberto]

No review!

 

[Digital]

Com on Azhar just hang in there

 

[saiyan0312]

partnership 43 now.

 

[imshally81]

come on review it and sa will waste last one also
