[Syed1]

Anybody remember that ad from our bachpan


"Chai chahye"
"Kaunsi janab"
"Lipton hi tou Hai"
"Mmmmmm la jawab"

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nigel Llong seems to have a soft spot for Pakistan.

 

[another drop catch]

Soon it will be 5 from 40

6(36) already

 

[another drop catch]

stay calm
no need to be overambitious
this is test cricket guys

 

[Sherlock]

I love Kashmiri tea.

Isn't the difference between to two being Kashmiri tea is pink, and Pakistan tea is the normal colour?

 

[another drop catch]

shan should be made test captain

 

[another drop catch]

herath is on

 

[Mamoon]

Why can’t other batsmen play around him. The guy has some limitations and we all know though though he’s come along way to over come them. The other batsmen need to play with some intent and look to score at least 3 runs an over while Azhar can be your anchor. But the problem with this batting line up is that they all go with one pace which is snails.

Intent can’t make up for lack of ability.

 

[Sherlock]

Nigel Llong seems to have a soft spot for Pakistan.

Not really. He gave a no-ball to Pakistan [Wahab] yesterday when he was clearly inside of the bowling crease, and also warned Wahab about running onto the pitch. Yet Gamage hasn't been warned as of yet.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hope they play Haris at no.4, can't see him bat with the tail again

 

[UN talkz]

Isn't the difference between to two being Kashmiri tea is pink, and Pakistan tea is the normal colour?

Kashmiri tea is called noon chai because it contains SALT while as normal chai, lipton chai or coffee all contain Sugar.....

yes Kashmiri tea is pink in colour

 

[waleedfb23]

shan survives again
he's a sitting duck out there

 

[Abdul]

Hope they play Haris at no.4, can't see him bat with the tail again

Yeah, he's padded up.

 

[Mamoon]

Isn't the difference between to two being Kashmiri tea is pink, and Pakistan tea is the normal colour?

Oh I agree.

 

[Slog]

im not sure what to do

ill almost certainly be disappointed if i turn on the tv...

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch is not a minefield. Slow turn. That's it.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=47000]Sherlock[/MENTION]

I read your post as “what’s the difference between Pakistani team and Kashmiri tea”

Never mind.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not really. He gave a no-ball to Pakistan [Wahab] yesterday when he was clearly inside of the bowling crease, and also warned Wahab about running onto the pitch. Yet Gamage hasn't been warned as of yet.

I think gamage has been warned as well and he had quite a harsh no ball called on him but fair enough .

lipton chai went best win

'halki phulki bhoonk mai halka phula TUC!

 

[UN talkz]

that number is high
i bet its probably in single digits

Man that's normal thing among older generation here.... u gotta believe it.
younger generation generally take around 6-8 cups.... this is a huge difference and its mainly becoz we eat a lot of junk foods

[Slog]

Azhar is world class.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Modern day Mudassar Nazar

 

[Slog]

i have a feeling we'll get close and then lose it in 2nd session tomorrow

 

[UN talkz]

Raw tea or with milk/sugar?

With milk and salt.... no sugar

 

[jnaveen1980]

Azhar Ali is living dangerously. Trying to be adventurous against good balls.

 

[waleedfb23]

lakmal leaves the field.......injured his bowling hand i guess

 

[MoJoJoJo]

i have a feeling we'll get close and then lose it in 2nd session tomorrow

better lose cheaply instead after getting closer..

 

[CricFan2012]

That injury is good for Pakistan, but still feel bad for Lakmal

 

[CricFan2012]

What is Masood doing? 14 strike rate

 

[Rayyman]

At least Misbah is somewhat well set with a strike rate like this. Masood on the other her hand...

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

What is Masood doing? 14 strike rate

playing for his spot and not for the team

 

[shaz619]

Masood stinking the joint

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Toothless bowling.

 

[shaaik]

Isn't the difference between to two being Kashmiri tea is pink, and Pakistan tea is the normal colour?

The tea that people call Kashmiri tea in Pakistan isn’t actually a Kashmiri tea. Kashmiri tea is salty coz we put salt in it rather than sugar but the the one they serve in Pakistan has sugar in it.

 

[Syed1]

Kya kar raha hai bhai Azhar

 

[jnaveen1980]

Toothless bowling.

Looks like other end will be more helpful for Herath as per Russell.

 

[another drop catch]

lakmal leaves the field.......injured his bowling hand i guess

oh noooo
now it will be one sided affair

 

[Syed1]

That was the first ball of this series I saw live..... spectacular crowd in. Test match cricket zindabad

 

[MMHS]

I didn't see the first 3 days - it has to be either one of worst bowling performance by PAK in 1st innings or batting by SRL in 2nd. This wicket can't be 500 & 100 track.

 

[CricFan2012]

Why can't we have batsmen with Masoods build but with talent?

 

[Rayyman]

Golden boy Babar and Kaptaan better show up in this innings.

Bobby needs to score 50+ otherwise be dropped.

Sarfraz better not get a 20 (25). It's all good to play at a good strike rate, but you should score more.

I expect Shafiq to score well though, his fourth innings score is decent.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Looks like other end will be more helpful for Herath as per Russell.

Possibly. But with lakmal also injured now, Pakistan's chances look very good now. The pitch is also quite ok to survive and score rubs on.

 

[CricFan2012]

Azhar Ali is one of my favourite cricketers, adjusted his defense against herath in this innings, shows his hunger to continue learning, not a lazy cricketer like some

 

[Syed1]

8 off 55 by Shan Masood


Not letting us forget Misbah

 

[jnaveen1980]

Possibly. But with lakmal also injured now, Pakistan's chances look very good now. The pitch is also quite ok to survive and score rubs on.

Herath is kind of a bowler who you have to constantly attack or else he will eventually get you.

 

[waleedfb23]

The tea that people call Kashmiri tea in Pakistan isn’t actually a Kashmiri tea. Kashmiri tea is salty coz we put salt in it rather than sugar but the the one they serve in Pakistan has sugar in it.

Coming from kashmiri family I assure you that we feel insulted if someone serves us kashmiri tea with sugar

 

[Syed1]

Coming from kashmiri family I assure you that we feel insulted if someone serves us kashmiri tea with sugar

Because it is already too sweet?

 

[Abdul]

Sarfraz better not get a 20 (25). It's all good to play at a good strike rate, but you should score more.

As long as you're 'aggressive' and you have the 'intent' you don't need to score. Those are the only two things you need to be praised.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Herath is kind of a bowler who you have to constantly attack or else he will eventually get you.

Yeah that's true but I think they can handle him this time. Just a feeling.

 

[CricFan2012]

If Masood scores a half century i will be trying some bacon tonight

 

[waleedfb23]

oh noooo
now it will be one sided affair

you wish

 

[imshally81]

Anybody remember that ad from our bachpan


"Chai chahye"
"Kaunsi janab"
"Lipton hi tou Hai"
"Mmmmmm la jawab"

Yes .. Awesome childhood memories

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yeah that's true but I think they can handle him this time. Just a feeling.

You should always expect a mental block from Pakistan team after getting skilled out for 100 plus in the first test chasing a meagre total. They have to fight their own daemons alongwith Herath.

 

[waleedfb23]

Because it is already too sweet?

no!!!
kashmiri tea must never be sweet....its original name is 'noon' chae (urdu letter noon)
noon short for namkeen
must be served with salt

 

[UN talkz]

Coming from kashmiri family I assure you that we feel insulted if someone serves us kashmiri tea with sugar

Yes...... guys lets discuss all this in TP sometime later.. lets focus on match

 

[Syed1]

no!!!
kashmiri tea must never be sweet....its original name is 'noon' chae (urdu letter noon)
noon short for namkeen
must be served with salt

Yeah that is what my Kashmiri friend told me that Kashmiri tea is salty.... and I was like whaaaaaa... everytime I had Kashmiri tea in Karachi it was crazy sweet

 

[m.shah]

It's interesting than match

 

[shaz619]

If Masood scores a half century i will be trying some bacon tonight

Am going to eat a juicy cow regardless

 

[UN talkz]

It's interesting than match ����

That's damn true

 

[UN talkz]

Yeah that is what my Kashmiri friend told me that Kashmiri tea is salty.... and I was like whaaaaaa... everytime I had Kashmiri tea in Karachi it was crazy sweet

Yes it is Salty.... Kashmiri tea doesn't contain even a pint of sugar

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan's batting these days makes a run rate of 2.5 look like world class. I understand blunting the new ball but our batters blunt the ball for 70 overs and then resume the process of blunting the second new ball.
Shan is 10 off 64 balls. That is hopeless.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

If Masood scores a half century i will be trying some bacon tonight

I'll make sure to remind you if he does

 

[Syed1]

Khuda ki kasam Shan Masood is probably the worst opener in world cricket today... The only person who gives him any competition is his partner Sami Aslam

 

[CricFan2012]

I'll make sure to remind you if he does

bro the point is that he won't score a half century he looks ilke a sitting duck out there... quack

 

[m.shah]

When are odi's starting enough of this boredom?

 

[Syed1]

Yes it is Salty.... Kashmiri tea doesn't contain even a pint of sugar

I guess things get modified to suit local tastes. Like most popular lassi in Lahore is salty... but in Karachi salty lassi isn't very popular, you have to specially ask for salty lassi. If you don't you will get sweet lassi.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Man it is painful watching guys like Masood and Aslam bat. Scoring at a slow pace is fine but at least have some intent to get some runs.

 

[waleedfb23]

Yeah that is what my Kashmiri friend told me that Kashmiri tea is salty.... and I was like whaaaaaa... everytime I had Kashmiri tea in Karachi it was crazy sweet

I once had an argument with a caterer who served kashmiri tea at a wedding
I found the tea to be sweet but he refused saying he would never dare to add sugar while serving green tea in kashmiri family wedding
Turns out he used everyday milk powder which iteself is sweet hence ruined the taste

 

[another drop catch]

if shan masood scores more than 30 he deserves to be selected for ODIs in place of imam ul haq

 

[Rayyman]

Azhar needs to pick up the strike rate on this phatta against bowlers who are mediocre at best. Aside from Herath ofc.

 

[Blackbradman]

Is he trying for some record like slowest 20..

 

[shah_1]

Masood is awful to watch

 

[shariqnoor]

At this rate we might run out of overs to chase this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He will be eaten alive in foreign conditions. Is he Pakistan's long term solution?

 

[shah_1]

20 overs and only 31 runs

This is how we are going to win this Match?

 

[waleedfb23]

shan masood 11 runs after facing 70 deliveries
understandable if you go on to score big but i highly doubt that shan is capable of doing that

 

[Syed1]

If and it is a big IF... Pakistan go onto win this match would it rank as one of the top ten comebacks in test cricket? Its not common that you concede 200+ lead after first innings and still win

[MoJoJoJo]

haris is padded up while shafiq is not.. seems like haris will get in next

 

[Abdul]

Holy crap. How can someone be as bad as Shan Masood?
