[Strike!]

Retards, Why waste time.

 

[Sledger]

511/6 dec.

Lead by 314.

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol , just added a zero to umar guls career. mr bean stuff

 

[farsiddiqui]

We must have different definitions of truck load.

Apparently. Highest average in the history of Pakistan first class cricket. Always one of the top run getters in QEA and Pentangular tournaments. Big centuries, double centuries, even a triple.
Big century on debut on the road.

But he doesn't know how to hold a bat.
If only he could learn to do that he could measure up to your definition of truck-loads.

 

[musama]

GUL

 

[Ahson8]

Gul out and declared lol

 

[Looney]

lol emergency declaration before team is all out bhaiMBA

 

[Warfare]

Top batting by Toffee. Sad end but it's very refreshing to see a top knock by a Pakistani after so long.

Lol at Gul

 

[akheR]

Cricinfo :

Misbah has declared the innings, Asad is not even looking towards the dressing room

 

[ares1000]

sad end to a great innings!

how often do you get the chance of making 250?

That would be a function of how often you play an Asian team in tests.

 

[Osman]

cricinfo commie has ripped into shafiq and rightly so....pathetic from him....expect him to be dropped in the next test....only shame is he will be dropped for Malik who is not a test player

 

[Sledger]

Hard work starts now. This is a dead, dead wicket - one wicket tonight looks unlikely due to time but there's always hope with the new ball. :cheema

 

[Areesh]

Pathetic batting by

 

[Markhor]

PAK 511-6 Declared.

 

[akheR]

Yeah, fan of him, but Shafiq was disappointing.

 

[musama]

Thank GOD declared

 

[Warfare]

lol emergency declaration before team is all out bhaiMBA

Yeh tau MBA ka kia meaning hai?

 

[anakwalajinn]

great innings

FC is worlds away from test cricket. Esp in Asia where flat decks rule. Hick was a FC lion too, I'll reserve my judgement for blokes on the international arena.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Maybe Gul will be pissed off now and come out and take a 10 for in the 2nd inns

 

[duostyle]

Comical

Gulla should take his revenge

Taufeeq deserved to stay not out though

 

[Zeeraq]

InshAllah Sri Lanka will be all out tomorrow.

 

[musama]

that is why u.akmal's 30's looks OK for me far better than Asad's miserale whtever's :umarakmal

 

[insaftak]

Asad shafiq what a big let down

 

[Hash]

I like Shafiq but this was a really terrible innings with no consideration for the team or match situation.

Selfish.

 

[Areesh]

Yeh tau MBA ka kia meaning hai?

MBA=Master in boredom administration.

 

[AlizeeFan]

Cricinfo

Asad Shafiq is a strange man. He is not hitting the shots, he doesn't want the quick singles, and the umpire and coach are waiting to declare. Taufeeq flicks, can't find the gap, wants a single to square leg, Asad is not moving. Taufeeq runs half way down, turns around, puts in a full-length dive, and still makes it only as far as the white line by the time the bails come off. Well done Asad on running Taufeeq out, on refusing a single when as the frsher, younger partner he should be initiating these quick single. and a non-sarcastic well done to Taufeeq Umar. Close to 12 hours in this heat, setting the innings up, seeing Pakistan through to a lead

 

[Warfare]

I've always said Fawad + Umar Akmal >>> Shafiq

Though I'd take Shafiq over Malik any day despite the poor performance today.

 

[akhrot]

feel sorry for the guy, was not allowed to carry the bat

 

[Asif321]

Wapas ajavo shafiq

 

[musama]

 

[duostyle]

Shafiq knows Malik is waiting to take his spot if/when he fails, pretty obvious. He doesn't bat this way.

 

[sa88]

Can understand where Asad is coming from, he isn't sure about his place in the team and probably wanted to get some runs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wont be shocked if Shafiq is dropped after this test after such behaviour! pure selfishness there!

 

[Sledger]

Taufeeq wanted a not out lol.

 

[ares1000]

Well he got 30 odd.

Give the kid a break.

 

[Legend Killer]

Wont be shocked if Shafiq is dropped after this test after such behaviour! pure selfishness there!

But his replacement will be Malik, don't think anyone would want that.

 

[Warfare]

MBA=Master in boredom administration.

Acha, go Misbah MBA

 

[Sledger]

feel sorry for the guy, was not allowed to carry the bat

It's only carrying your bat when the rest of the team gets bowled out.

 

[qamar84]

Let4s back to the action boyssssss

 

[Junior_Akmal]

Can understand where Asad is coming from, he isn't sure about his place in the team and probably wanted to get some runs.

I think to get the runs you have to score them too. Asad was not willing to score runs.

 

[Sledger]

First ball wicket.

 

[Sledger]

0/1.

 

[ads101]

Feel sorry for Asad, yeah it was a slow bad innings, but honestly I don't think Asad's one of those guys who can just pick up and go. Obviously he also had the pressure of staying in the team considering his test record too.

Good chance he'll dropped for Malik next match. Which is a shame. Really no.6 should go to fawad or umar akmal. Given the steadiness of our top order, perhaps umar.

 

[qamar84]

FIRST BOWL

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a start ..ut

 

[Legend Killer]

, Gul strikes first ball!

 

[Abdullah22]

I was just thinking it would be great if we could get a first ball wicket

 

[Warfare]

Gul you sexy beast!

 

[DW44]

You 27 year old youngster beauty....

 

[insaftak]

Gul's revenge Wicket first ball

 

[Sledger]

It was hitting off, shhh Waqar.

 

[ares1000]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

1ST BALL. Leg before to Gul!

 

[akheR]

Comical

Gulla should take his revenge

Taufeeq deserved to stay not out though

) ) ROFL vatta a response

 

[Strike!]

Yessssss

 

[dhump]

Gone first ball this is the start needed.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Srilanka bechari. it was missing off

 

[ads101]

haha, )

First wicket

Gul you're awesome

 

[Sledger]

Sanga in.

 

[qamar84]

but frankly he was not out umpiring failing on this test

 

[DW44]

Without 'a' score on the board.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

legend, he has the skills to deliver in tests just needs to toughen up mentally

 

[duostyle]

)

 

[ares1000]

Acha, go Misbah MBA

Now that is funny.

 

[ads101]

Sri lanka's best batsman in now. Hope he gets out cheaply.

 

[Sledger]

Bad second ball. Dot.

 

[qamar84]

umpiring destroying result ********************

 

[Markhor]

What a start !

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Give the new ball to Junaid Khan!!!!

 

[attock]

Pace like fire....out

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Umar Gul to Paranavitana, OUT, Gul. He has struck first ball. Or is it Tony Hill who has struck?

FFS... cricinfo ... Its getting tiresome

 

[Strike!]

Clearly out.

 

[Sledger]

Good ball, well played by Sanga for one.

 

[Mian Hassan]

cricinfo on fire


0.1


Umar Gul to Paranavitana, OUT, Gul. He has struck first ball. Or is it Tony Hill who has struck?

 

[Warfare]

Wah Gul Well played bouys lets wrap this up today

 

[Abdullah22]

Feel sorry for Asad, yeah it was a slow bad innings, but honestly I don't think Asad's one of those guys who can just pick up and go. Obviously he also had the pressure of staying in the team considering his test record too.

Good chance he'll dropped for Malik next match. Which is a shame. Really no.6 should go to fawad or umar akmal. Given the steadiness of our top order, perhaps umar.

Asad has only himself to blame. He allowed the pressure to build up on him. I like the guy but if he is going to be selfish he can sit next to imran farhat.

I agree we should give him a fair chance and no 6 is not the ideal position for him.
