[JattMaula]

It is gone again. smh.

 

[Rayyman]

It is gone again. smh.

We're going at 3.4 am over. Not bad at all.

 

[imshally81]

Selfish Shan...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol Shan nearly ran sami out )

 

[Mainul]

no differece atm in bw pak and banagladesh though...i will say

Pakistan is still a lot better test team than Bangladesh specially away from home.

yap.agreed..but managemant is rubbish..

 

[imshally81]

Review time

 

[sachin100]

srilanka is also looking for a draw by bowling trundlers and not using spinners early

 

[imshally81]

Review wasted...

 

[Justcrazy]

SL loose a review

 

[jnaveen1980]

He didn't even bring the ball back in as per the tracking.

 

[Rayyman]

What is this tuk tuk yaar. Need to get a move on.

 

[sachin100]

poor poor review

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gamage can be a tricky bowler on pitches with a bit more juice.

 

[sachin100]

gamage is built like a hulk but is bowling pies

 

[imshally81]

 

[Rayyman]

Kya baat hai Sami

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Slog sweep by Sami

 

[MMHS]

The quality of Test matches going around, Mash Allah.

I guess, making it 4 days will be more exciting - SRL with a 1-0 lead would have declared at 375/4 after lunch in an attempt to make it 2-0, PAK has no choice, so they declare at 303/4, by Tea on Day 3; SRL batting at crazy rate to post 245/9 in 45 overs & set PAK 328 in 75 overs for the crowd .....

Come on ICC, bring it on ......

 

[Markhor]

Aim for a RR of 3.5. No need to slog everything, just sensible rotation of strike with the odd boundary.

If we bat for 130 overs at that rate, we'll get 585 which would provide a good lead.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Nice shot Sami

 

[imshally81]

Great shot

Do you believe SRL will be all out 2nd time in less than 100 overs on this garbage?

 

[Rayyman]

Sami keep this up bhai you got this.

He is all class.

 

[Abdul]

Dl.

Spot on...punish the bad balls and be sensible. Lot to ask though...

 

[Abdul]

Sweeterman.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

for Masood now

 

[Rayyman]

Finally Shan well played

 

[ExpressPacer]

Good batting by Sami thus far. He has the ability, just needs the confidrnce. He is the inevitable partner to Zaman in the ODIs too. He's shown it in the Pakistan Cup that he has the ability to bat quickly.

Series is on the line, the quality of bowling will need to take conditions out of the equation.

Usually on Day 4 and 5 there will be some turn in Dubai - remember Bishoo's 8-fer last year in the D/N Test.

 

[Rayyman]

More rubbish from Shan. Get that fifty partnership yaar.

 

[shah_1]

Sami needs a big hundred to boost his confidence

 

[Boi]

Shan has no off side game

Are you sure on back to back Test on such condition, 4 men attack will be standing on their knees after 8 days physical & mental torture? After Abu Dhabi, I wrote that 4 bowlers won't make it to next Test, this one so far has taken out Amir - so, what happens in out of 5 bowlers used so far, the two that were in ODI squad had been eaten by UAE Test wickets ...

PAK should try to bat for 3 days & save their bowlers here. Arthur got extension, so congrats to him - but his 2 weeks wage should be docked for selecting 4 men attack with 3 pacers. Sarfraz was never my choice for Test captaincy, so no blame on him. For a team like PAK, if WK/Batsmen are made Captain, this is quite predictable actually.

 

[Rayyman]

Partnership

Mash'Allah boys keep it up

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sami showing good intent and looking for runs, I like this

 

[ManFan]

This freaking ****** is blocking all the balls so the pressure can be put on the guy actually looking to score.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sami is getting runs while Shan is tukking like no tomorrow

 

[Markhor]

Here comes Rangana Herath into the attack...

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Destroy Ragana!!!

 

[Rayyman]

Awful from Shan

 

[coy0607]

these 2 need to add another 50 runs together and put all this talk of Butt's comeback to rest for the next series

 

[imshally81]

It was out.... Lucky Masood

 

[shah_1]

Shan is playing awful

 

[imshally81]

Stumps...

 

[shah_1]

Shan is the worst opener in recent times

 

[Usman Chadda]

when u r the only bowler u will get 5 in every test as u r bowling 60 overs per innings

What kind of rubbish logic is this? Don't want to get personal but this post really does make me question the poster's age. Amazing ignorance.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Only way to save/draw or to create slight chance of win for Pakistan is to bat at least 4 more sessions. Preferably 5...

 

[Big Mac]

At least Sony Max are now showing the phainty we gave to Australia to remind us of the days when we were good in the UAE. Younus about to launch a mini-rescue from 7-2 :
