[London_Lahori]

In comes Asad Shafiq, come on Asad play yourself in.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Shafiq's in

 

[Saeed]

Annoyed: "Misbah is forcing me to wish that he gets out really boring man this is.."
Looks like iss banday ki dua poori hugai per ghalat bhnaday ko ja lagi.

 

[Batman]

Partnership broken then 218.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Excellent innings from YK

 

[Waqas Kharian]

14 overs left in the day..can asad and misbah survive

 

[Batman]

Shafiq in now need a decent knock from him.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Well played

 

[Nuekboi]

Why is Shafiq's bat so worn out?

 

[Waqas Kharian]

common asad get some runs

 

[Batman]

4/302 | Lead by 98.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Shafiq we need a good knock lad

 

[menace2society]

Why is Shafiq's bat so worn out?

Thats not worn out.

Its nicely knocked in.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

misbah needs 8 for 100

 

[Batman]

8 away for Misbah to complete his ton!

 

[saiyan0312]

We still have the gutsy and bhatti

 

[Waqas Kharian]

i think lead of Minimum 200 required here

 

[saiyan0312]

a 133 koh bouncer.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Annoyed: "Misbah is forcing me to wish that he gets out really boring man this is.."
Looks like iss banday ki dua poori hugai per ghalat bhnaday ko ja lagi.

Hope Misbah stays not out to stick it to this guy.

 

[Jabo]

Lets see what Shafiq can do, he is one of the players who tends to score like this in games -

10, 5, 34, 76, 5, 14, 103, 0, 35, 16

Not saying them are his scores but he isn't consistent at all and he should only be playing Test, the day he is left out of a 16 man squad for an ODI series will be a great day for Pakistan cricket.

Hopefully Misbah can get his century, Pakistan will want at least 180+ lead, to be honest I don't see Shafiq staying for long and Misbah will go soon after his 100 so it will depend on Akmal & Bhatti.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

302

 

[786pk]

Hope Misbah stays not out to stick it to this guy.

No worries. Misbah will tuk us to victory, In sha Allah.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Eranga has been pretty decent. Has looked the best bowler today.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Few balls staying low

 

[aukhan]

Shafiq need to survive the remaining overs and tomorrow morning's spell.

Twice i have seen him getting out early in the morning spells.

 

[Batman]

This session: 1/51 in 18.

 

[Saeed]

Hope Misbah stays not out to stick it to this guy.

Lol that will burn many people on PP.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

11.4 overs left

 

[Batman]

Shafiq yet to off the mark.

 

[saiyan0312]

11 overs left. just survive it. thats whats required.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

there is no turn for spinners

 

[Waqas Kharian]

i am impressed by YK's strike rate

 

[menace2society]

Will be all out for 390

 

[Waqas Kharian]

kia baat ha ji..single taken

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah is looking chill.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

Will be all out for 390

thanks and good night

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Like the way Misbah and Younis handled Herath today

 

[Waqas Kharian]

asad's average is 40. can he take his average above 50?

 

[saiyan0312]

it would be awesome if misbah doesnt reach a hundred today and shafiq doesnt get off the mark. it would be very funny.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

thanks and good night

Haha, nice

 

[786pk]

it would be awesome if misbah doesnt reach a hundred today and shafiq doesnt get off the mark. it would be very funny.

Hour an hour of pure entertainment.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

almost

 

[saiyan0312]

woah woah shafiq nearly edged it. man chill.

 

[OZGOD]

They will probably just tuk tuk till stumps. 10 overs to go why take too many risks. Then again if a bad ball is there to be hit they should hit rather than blocking.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

i think misbah will attack herath here

 

[ChaudrySaab]

it would be awesome if misbah doesnt reach a hundred today and shafiq doesnt get off the mark. it would be very funny.

And if the lead stays at 99

 

[saiyan0312]

I am expecting some few this was a selfish hundred threads.,

 

[Waqas Kharian]

They will probably just tuk tuk till stumps. 10 overs to go why take too many risks. Then again if a bad ball is there to be hit they should hit rather than blocking.

are you Australian?

 

[bluffmasterv2]

time for a smoke break !

 

[saiyan0312]

100 lead reached. yeah.

 

[Red Devil]

Lead of 100 now

 

[Waqas Kharian]

misbah one hit away from 100

 

[Waqas Kharian]

asad off the mark

 

[IAJ]

negative stuff from Shafiq. Should look for singles instead of blocking everything.

 

[saiyan0312]

shafiq off the mark.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

100 Run lead!!!

 

[aukhan]

Shafiq off the mark.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

negative stuff from Shafiq. Should look for singles instead of blocking everything.

Let him play himself in and get a feel of the pitch.

 

[saiyan0312]

2 runs...

 

[IAJ]

That's the way to og, controlled singles/doubles

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Amir: "Misbah's new year resolution is to score his hundred by 2015." From Cricinfo

 

[Red Devil]

Was that Irfan? WTH is he doing there

 

[Waqas Kharian]

is that Mohammad irfan there??

 

[aukhan]

Misbah on 94.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

looks like mohammad irfan there

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Is this the best pacers SL have?

 

[IAJ]

Was that Irfan? WTH is he doing there

Read somewhere he is going to UAE for Fitness training.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

misbah to face Herath

 

[iRfaN_LA]

extreme tuk tuk.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Was that Irfan? WTH is he doing there

He was sent earlier to work with Dale Nayar.

 

[aukhan]

plan is to survive 8 overs today.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

misbah hit a six for me!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

It's funny that OZGod also uses the term tuk tuk. Tuk tuk has become part of universal cricket vocabulary!

 

[Waqas Kharian]

single

 

[786pk]

No way. Misbah moves to 95.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

This match will probably end in a draw.

 

[razabbas]

Misbah should score his century today

 

[saiyan0312]

7 overs left.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

8 overs left

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Misbah 5 away
