[Zeeraq]

Tony Hill is BLIND.
First Dilshan now Misbah.
I think he have something against Captains.

 

[insaftak]

He is always on facebook

 

[qamar84]

both captain dismiss given by the umpire were wrong by a miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

sri lanka should get use to this...

2/3 days in the field for them ... out of 5...

bowling is ... so... poor..

 

[ZAK]

Don't pad up, Shafiq.

 

[qamar84]

all the bad decision by the same umpires

 

[ZAK]

Maiden.

 

[iHammad]

Maaaaarooooooooooooooo inko, maartay raho

 

[ZAK]

Single to Umar.

 

[Abdullah22]

He is always on facebook

I was like *** too. What a loser!

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

all the bad decision by the same umpires

lol let it go

its life move on tony hill is fine umpire just having a bad match...

even the best can have that... a bad match

 

[ZAK]

Taufeeq has batted for 632 minutes. What a marathon effort.

 

[Sledger]

439/4 at the tea break.

 

[ZAK]

Tea.

439/4.

Pakistan lead by 242 runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

103 in 26 overs. not a bad session.

 

[Batman]

Afternoon Session | 2/102 | 28 Overs | RR 3.64

 

[iHammad]

10.5 hours, Taufeeq Umar well done!

 

[insaftak]

good stuff by Taufeeq. regardless of how slow he played at start this has been an amazing inning. 632 minutes in this heat

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

Afternoon Session | 0/102 | 28 Overs | RR 3.64

2 wickets aswel

 

[IAJ]

Lols my thread on Taufeeq got deleted! But we can continue here

 

[Pak_Spin]

though i agree tony hill is not the best umpires but he is way better than billy doctrove and ian gould..

 

[Pak_Spin]

england india ki le raha hai

 

[Hash]

So what do people think?

Declare tonight with a lead of 300 or so?

Or shall we make them toil in the sun a bit longer and take it up to lunchish tomorrow with lead of 400?

Think we should aim to bat once and declare about half way through morning session tomorrow....gives us 5 and a half sessions to bowl them out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

should try to score at least 120 in these 34 overs (if we survive)

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Taufeeq's concentration has been outstanding. Great performance, flat pitch or not.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistans plan should be to bat out whole last session postively and declare overnight and give Sri lanka two days to survive!

 

[ares1000]

Salam guys, I havent posted in ages. Been busy, hope Umar gets a double ton.

 

[spoiled]

He is always on facebook

who?

Not a bad idea but im not a fan of declaring overnight. It always irritates the opposition to be forced to field for a bit longer....they've been in the field for so long, they must be so sick of it. I say bring them out tomorrow and make them stand in the sun for an hour or so.

I would say play 40 more overs if we do not get out and score about 160-180 more.

 

[qamar84]

in the desert that's a terrific perfomance well done toffee

 

[attock]

Well played by taufeeq

 

[duostyle]

The quick scoring was down to Misbah in the last session, I doubt these two can keep up with it.

Shafiq will try to make the most of his chance and Taufeeq, well he will hopefully accelerate once past his 200.

I think the lead will be around 350 at the end of play. And if we have wickets, I don't think Misbah will declare, he'll let them bat till lunch tomorrow.

 

[Pak_Spin]

should try to score at least 120 in these 34 overs (if we survive)

dont worry the tailenders will make 200

+1 i agree with you

 

[anakwalajinn]

salaam.

wow woke up and found out that taufeeq was on 188 and Misbah was batting at a preatty afridily istrike rate too bad he missed his 50, he is a typical 50 making machine =P

 

[the Great Khan]

getting sick of the wisecracks from the cricindia commentators...

 

[qamar84]

getting sick of the wisecracks from the cricindia commentators...

stop reading this indian

 

[Asif321]

they should declare after 300 lead

 

[Eagle_Eye]

getting sick of the wisecracks from the cricindia commentators...

It reminds them of the recent pasting in Eng too much.... gotta let off steam

 

[qamar84]

toffe perfomance is great but herath with 55 overs bowled is outstandings

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

The Great Thing about Taufeeq Umar Innings is....

we wont seee mr parachi imran farhat back in the test team

 

[Abdullah22]

[JibranAnsari]

This is ridiculous we 440/4 and last 5 over only 5 runs.

 

[Strike!]

Shafiq needs to get a move on, 1 off 26 is just sad.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dammit asad

 

[Legend Killer]

Asad Shafiq is under great pressure cause he knows that one failure will mean that Malik all replace him in the next test

 

[Friend786]

shafiq 1 off 29

 

[attock]

Dood pathi

 

[JibranAnsari]

All the mnomentum built by misbah has been ruined by asad

 

[ZAK]

442/4.

 

[hur rizvi]

Asad is playing a disastrous knock here considering the situation we are in ....


selfish batting

 

[Batman]

Evening Session | 0/3 | 3 Overs | RR 1.00

 

[qamar84]

asad worst than azhar

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

wth is asad doing. He might aswell go for it like misbah did.

 

[Friend786]

wth is wrong with asad ? tuk tuk tuk ...........

 

[ZAK]

1 to TU.

 

[JibranAnsari]

asad needs to get out and let the manjhala akmal bat

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

This is shocking frame of mind by asad.

 

[anakwalajinn]

inside edge... 197

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

RR 2.81 wen it could have easily been well over 3...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

3 to go for taufeeq

 

[anakwalajinn]

[Faisalabadimunda]

I wish taufeeq gets 300.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What's wrong with Asad Shafiq? )

 

[qamar84]

great peace of fielding

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad will give in to the pressure.
