Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 2nd Test | Dubai | 08/01/14 | Day 1

[OZGOD]

Horrible dismissal from Misbah, Eranga persevering with his offstump line and terrible shot from Misbah

Collapso happening now

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Misbah gone too

 

[Mr Consistent]

misbah

 

[Nuekboi]

NOOOOO! 160 all out on the cards now. I have no faith in Shafiq anymore

 

[MarkCooper]

Surely Pakistan cannot lose to lowly Sri Lanka

How was it a "terrible shot"?

It was good bowling, maybe he didn't need to play at it but it certainly wasn't terrible.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Don't worry shafiq ton coming

Pakistan: Improving terrible bowlers' averages since 1952

 

[96NotOut]

What's the score? Cricinfo's down.

 

[Mr Consistent]

time for shafiq to make 100

 

[LegendAli]

109-4

We have big hearts

 

[Ahson8]

Damn. With Younis and Misbah gone, we need a big partnership between Manzoor and Shafiq.
Need to get at least 300 here.

 

[Nuekboi]

What do you think is the minimum first innings score on this pitch?

I say 300

 

[Nuekboi]

We have big hearts

Atleast its good to know that we have also been decreasing every batsman's average too

Talk about your mediocre, club level batsmen, not opposition bowlers.

 

[saiyan0312]

Man we are falling like nine pins. Come on shafiq make a big score.

 

[Nuekboi]

Please go visit the thread that is called "tallus that we have made look good" or something like that

Yeah. It was a good ball, not unplayable by any means but not a terrible shot either.

OZGOD has been posting a lot of questionable things about Pak. I smell some personal hate

 

[saiyan0312]

manzoor has an opportunity to prove maturity.

 

[razabbas]

Both asad and khurram have to score big

 

[Nuekboi]

Interesting how Manzoor looked like a tailender on flat abu dhabi pitch but suddenly is comfortable on a pitch that is doing a bit

 

[96NotOut]

Good first innings score please?

 

[Nuekboi]

Yeah. It was a good ball, not unplayable by any means but not a terrible shot either.

Nawww OZGOD is too much of a well composed gentleman to be jazbati against Pakistan. Why would he be on this forum then?

 

[Nuekboi]

"Sorry mere zahein me nahi tha" Wait WHAT?

 

[Saurav]

khurram has been so lucky.

don't know why Masood was dropped.looked good v SA

 

[Nuekboi]

Jayawardene wasnt even looking as he threw the ball

 

[Nuekboi]

khurram has been so lucky.

don't know why Masood was dropped.looked good v SA

To make way for the flashy and aggressive baytsmun ahmed shehzad

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Nawww OZGOD is too much of a well composed gentleman to be jazbati against Pakistan. Why would he be on this forum then?

Agreed, he is one of the better posters on here in PP for quite some years.

But I've sensed some personal hate in quite few of his posts against Pak. (only recently)

And lets not kid ourselves, not everyone on PP likes Pakistan.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Pakistan deserves its number 5/number 6 ranking. Such a mediocre and uninspiring batting lineup.

You can't expect people like Shafiq or Sarfraz to counter attack.

 

[HASHAM2]

Asad Don,t Play like Night Watchmen

all the time Asad just Look,s to Survive

if he fail in this test Series

we should Bring Sohaib Maqsood in next test match series

He has Perfact Number-6 Batsman
as he have Ave of 44 in FC And S/R 60

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Last batting pair 1 more wicket and SL are into the tail

 

[Nuekboi]

Waiting for Shafiq to produce another brilliant century

 

[Saurav]

To make way for the flashy and aggressive baytsmun ahmed shehzad

poor stuff.Shehzad doesn't look like a Test prospect for me

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Shafiq need's to feed Khurram the strike whilst he gauges the track

 

[Nuekboi]

two karachites on the crease

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Off the mark

 

[aukhan]

Khurrum doing well here.

 

[saiyan0312]

cmon manzoor get your century.

 

[Nuekboi]

Its all about being hopeful mate. I might not have any faith in him, but I still want him to do well and prove me wrong

 

[cricf@n]

Score please?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Manzoor shud continue his positive approach. Shud score a double
Today is a good chance for Sarfaraz to prove his selection as well.

 

[Nuekboi]

Shafiq's eyes remind me of Duminy

 

[Nuekboi]

I'm also hoping Sarfraz does not give a tailender batting performance

 

[96NotOut]

How many centuries does Shafiq have? 2?

 

[WebGuru]

Its all about being hopeful mate. I might not have any faith in him, but I still want him to do well and prove me wrong

He is the man of crisis for us in Tests and hopefully will prove it once again!

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Khurram has a not so good technique but his positive approach has really helped him.

 

[96NotOut]

Why is Rahat Ali still here? So people can take breaks from the game?

 

[ChaudrySaab]

how many centuries does shafiq have? 2?

4

 

[Super Santi]

A bit late with this question but is there an English channel covering this match?

 

[Nuekboi]

Imagine a day/night Test the ring of fire

 

[the Great Khan]

now you see the beenfit of a player like azhar in tests? but no we continue to chop and change a successful test lineup after some players play some hit and giggle innings. Hafeez isnt test material and neitehr is shezad.

 

[saiyan0312]

He is the man of crisis for us in Tests and hopefully will prove it once again!

I hope you are right. if these two make a good partnership and sarfraz and the tail can add some toppings on it then we might have a very good total to attack.

 

[zabalestmsm]

May be my patience level is low but Asad Shafiq collapses under pressure and dry the runs completely with himself
Such a boring batsman

 

[saiyan0312]

Imagine a day/night Test the ring of fire

We wanted to play it with the pink cherry but srilanka said no.

 

[Red Devil]

how many centuries does shafiq have? 2?

4

 

[razabbas]

Manzoor bhe gaya

 

[Red Devil]

Manzoor too

 

[OZGOD]

Collapse in full swing now

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Lol

 

[saiyan0312]

khurram goes. edged to keeper. A fine knock and a solid blow by lanka but more was required from him. sarfraz and shafiq to do something.

 

[Nuekboi]

GAH. Innings gonna be done soon! Hope bowlers respond well

 

[Blade-Runner]

Goneeeeeeeeeeee................ ) ) )

 

[zabalestmsm]

Never mind well played Manzoor

 

[Nuekboi]

Come on Sarfraz. Justify your selection. We can't have our tail starting at 7

 

[96NotOut]

See you later Manzoor!

Now for Sarfraz...

 

[the Great Khan]

and I believ we just lost the match... thanks all..signing off..

 

[zabalestmsm]

Its now or never for Sarfaraz

 

[Ahson8]

Come on Sarfraz and Shafiq, get us to 250 at the very least.

 

[Nuekboi]

and I believ we just lost the match... thanks all..signing off..

Mate match is far from over

 

[Nuekboi]

If another falls Bhatti needs to try and hit out as much as possible

 

[the Great Khan]

Mate match is far from over

ive seen enough test cricket to know that if the first innings is below par then that team very rarely wins. best we can hope for is a draw..

 

[HASHAM2]

We should not panic

This is Bowling friendly Pitch

Some how we have to add 130 Quick Runs here

Asad,Sarfarz Should Attack now

 

[saiyan0312]

nice shot... he is very good against spinners but needs to do against pacers too.

 

[96NotOut]

I trust Bhatti more than Sarfraz.

 

[WebGuru]

I hope you are right. if these two make a good partnership and sarfraz and the tail can add some toppings on it then we might have a very good total to attack.

ok lets add 20 odd runs from ajmal bat

 

[Nuekboi]

Just noticed there are 3 karachi boys in the team

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Pak has no concept of a counter attack.

 

[Nuekboi]

Need 200 at the very least

 

[Nuekboi]

Someone will have to play a Mathews innings from the first match
