Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | Sep 28 - Oct 2, 2017 | Day 5

[Mocking Bird]

Should target herath ...they aren't going to survive long anyway

 

[ExpressPacer]

I love how Asad Shafiq is trying his best to keep Babar off strike while Herath bowls.

 

[todfod 11]

So Amir was wicketless in the second innings too LOL

Will still make first on the team list LOL...

 

[ExpressPacer]

After

Bro what is the RRR currently

 

[Hamza_]

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] He's too young for international cricket, only 16. Abhi to khelnay koodnay ki umar hai

 

[Titan24]

Should send in Hasan Ali next.

Yes could a good decision even if he makes quick 15 20 runs.

 

[ExpressPacer]

How long is this outfield?!

 

[Mocking Bird]

I love how Asad Shafiq is trying his best to keep Babar off strike while Herath bowls.

Knows that babar is a joke against spinners & that to of the calibre of herath

 

[todfod 11]

Sarafarz should have opened the inning.. this timid thinking isnt taking pamistan anywhere

 

[badxhah]

The first test after the Misyou era is really living up to its billing

There probably watching this with a cup of tea we could have easily played this out

 

[ExpressPacer]

You've gotta be kidding me

 

[Ellipsism]

Babar...

 

[Mocking Bird]

Babar should stick to LOIs ...not good enough for test cricket

 

[Hamza_]

Babar

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babars timid inns comes to an end! looked useless again spin!

All down to shafiq, sohail and sarfraz now

 

[Abdul]

There goes the "talented" golden boy.

 

[shady]

This is tragic

 

[RobinJay]

Babar has failed magnificently at the test front.

 

[Ellipsism]

Babar should stick to LOIs ...not good enough for test cricket

What makes you say that?

 

[Slog]

you know things are bad when Shafiq has to take on the mantle of responsibility in a tough chase

 

[ExpressPacer]

Glad that they're showing some intent to get runs at least.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Babar gone! WTH is going on...

 

[Mocking Bird]

The first test after the Misyou era is really living up to its billing

There probably watching this with a cup of tea we could have easily played this out

Misbah haters will now know what they were upto

 

[Abdullah719]

Bro what is the RRR currently

103 to win in 46 overs. 2.2 it is.

 

[dravidthewall]

Pakistani kohli is out.ms dhoni in

 

[Zeshan547]

Get rid of these two golden boys plus Mr fitness and I can guarantee we will be no weaker if not better, Amir Babar and Shan has to go. Babar can make comeback when he have 50 plus FC average

 

[ExpressPacer]

Babar likes to feel bat on ball and I don't see the need for it.

 

[todfod 11]

Bad Bad bad captaincy.. The run chase has been made into a mockery.

 

[badxhah]

Babar gone! WTH is going on...

Nothing new always happen with small targets esp with pakistan in the fold.
Made SL a tougher opponent by being timid.

 

[waleedfb23]

two sitting ducks on the wicket now
expect pakistan to be four down within 50 runs

i was right except shafiq survived
Now i hope he stays on :/

 

[Abdullah719]

you know things are bad when Shafiq has to take on the mantle of responsibility in a tough chase

He is actually doing OK so far... like I said, there's calls for him to be dropped. This is the time he usually delivers.

 

[Madplayer]

Babar has never looked so clueless.

Shafiq :

 

[Abdullah719]

He is actually doing OK so far... like I said, there's calls for him to be dropped. This is the time he usually delivers.

Oops

 

[Abdul]

I'm guessing Sarfraz isn't brave enough to promote himself up the order?

Darpok, as some would call him...

 

[Slog]

What makes you say that?

honestly im losing patience too

he has just ONE good innings of 90 in NZ after 10 matches

also averages 36 in FC so not exactly killing it there either

 

[Mir jibran]

asad shafiq should be kicked out

 

[Big Mac]

The first test after the Misyou era is really living up to its billing

There probably watching this with a cup of tea we could have easily played this out

4th Innings in the UAE:

 

[mmkextreme_1]

And Sarfaraz still doesn't come out to bat, should have pushed himself up the order

 

[shaaik]

How many times have we seen this happening lately?? Pakistan doing Pakistan here...

 

[Ellipsism]

Shaba boys

 

[Zeshan547]

Man this has to be up there when it comes to worst 5th day collapse ever.

 

[waleedfb23]

Jinx

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shafiq trying too much and departs... This match is gone.

 

[NauV]

This is shambolic batting!

 

[imshally81]

what a chase

 

[Madplayer]

Calm down folks.

Now wait for sarfaraz and harid to chase this down without losing any more wickets

 

[mmkextreme_1]

This should be Shafiqs last game. Can't have such mental midgets in the team.

 

[Sirris]

Well I was hoping little Shafiq would stand up and become a hero.

 

[Ellipsism]

honestly im losing patience too

he has just ONE good innings of 90 in NZ after 10 matches

also averages 36 in FC so not exactly killing it there either

Sarcasm...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he's played FC cricket since his international debut.

 

[Mocking Bird]

i was right except shafiq survived
Now i hope he stays on :/

There you go

 

[waleedfb23]

ok thats the end
might as well get back to work
well played SL .....great win

 

[arehaan]

Its just no patience and the captain hiding himself as usual.

 

[ExpressPacer]

This should be the end of Shafiq's career.

 

[Ellipsism]

Kaptaan said he wanted to score a match winning century, here is your opportunity.

 

[Markhor]

Back to the pre-2010 era.

 

[badxhah]

2 days test for dubai from now on

 

[Madplayer]

What an opportunity for Haris and sarfaraz to become heroes

 

[Amjid Javed]

All down to this pair now... pretty much have to score the 100 runs needed between them!

38/5

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

What is Pakistan lowest score in a test

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sarfraz Ahmed has been in really bad batting form off late. I don't expect him to last two long. One of these guys is going to get a good looking 40, give us false hope and then depart!

 

[NauV]

18 overs and 38 runs . . ridiculous! you can not let the bowlers dictate play . . cuz you will get a ball sooner rather than later that will have your name on it on such surfaces

 

[Enigma_]

Clearly missing Younis here

 

[Madplayer]

Mickey's face )

 

[Ellipsism]

What is Pakistan lowest score in a test

40-50 odd

 

[Sirris]

How many times have we seen this happening lately?? Pakistan doing Pakistan here...

Enough times, that this result is hardly any surprise to me.

 

[badxhah]

kaptaan needs some1 also at the end also

will take time for these guys to realize the value of second innings without the support of mis you

 

[Mocking Bird]

People were taking Sri Lanka as if they were namibia...lol

 

[ExpressPacer]

Still plenty of overs to go and only a hundred runs. They need to get settled. Play as many dots or maidens as they want.

 

[waleedfb23]

What is Pakistan lowest score in a test

49
which is 7 more than India at 42

 

[Osman]

Not just poor batting strategy but poor captaincy from Sarfaraz as well. Should have understood what was required in this chase and come out at 3/4.

 

[arehaan]

Shafiq has to be the worst investment ever and its not just this match

 

[Madplayer]

People were taking Sri Lanka as if they were namibia...lol

They were as good as namibia against India.

 

[imshally81]

30-70 to SL ??

 

[shariqnoor]

Sarfraz will get himself stumped.

 

[imshally81]

49
which is 7 more than India at 42

Great Answer

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Idiotic decision by the management not to send Sarfaraz up the order.

 

[Madplayer]

This is well and truly a minefield. Srilanka scored 140 because Pakistan had no spinners apart from Yasir.

 

[DRsohail]

40-50 odd

49

 

[ToeCrusher2]

They were as good as namibia against India.

India is the no. 1 Test Team in the world, everyone is namibia in front of us

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

49
which is 7 more than India at 42

Okay. I think Pakistan will lose this match where India won 3-0 away
