[Asif321]

how to get wickets , we should never play a Test at Sharjah its such pain to watch

 

[hur rizvi]

Ajmal once again not proving a threat

 

[CrowingRooster]

Man!!! Why did it have to go for six

 

[Mr Consistent]

by mahela and also 11k runs in test matches

 

[CrowingRooster]

Congrats to Mahela. 11,000 runs in test cricket

 

[CrowingRooster]

64-2 after 27

 

[CrowingRooster]

Lead also above 150

 

[Mr Consistent]

[hur rizvi]

W?e should keep on operating with pacer from one end

 

[CrowingRooster]

[Mr Consistent]

[CrowingRooster]

Chance for a run out

 

[CrowingRooster]

Got back in time though

 

[CrowingRooster]

He's bowled him!!!

 

[hur rizvi]

[CrowingRooster]

What a BALL!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Consistent]

and what a beauty by mana

 

[CrowingRooster]

66-3 after 28

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan made a big mistake by not playing rehman in the first two test matches.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Chandimal's in

 

[Sam18696]

 

[Big Mac]

That's nigh on unplayable

 

[Mr Consistent]

good fighting by silva

 

[hur rizvi]

One more wicket in this session would be great

 

[Imy]

Also Talha rather than Mr Unlucky Rahat

 

[Savak]

This tour has been a debacle on every front, batting, bowling. On these same patta wickets the sri lanka bowling and batting has been much better than Pakistan. Misbah's luck i hope finally runs out now.

 

[saiyan0312]

rehmans bowling very well. Should get junaid or talha to attack on the other end.

 

[London_Lahori]

Pakistan have to bowl SL out today to stand a chance.

 

[Asif321]

What a Peach by Maaaanaaa Bhai

 

[CrowingRooster]

67-3 after 29

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan made a lot of mistakes

1- Not playing rehman
2- Playing hafeez and azhar ali.
3 - Not picking sadaf hussain or ehsan adil for the series. Rahat or talha arent our best in domestic.

 

[HASHAM2]

SL 155/3

Need to get them All out Below 225

No half- decent replacement available for Misbah

Pakistan biggest problem was number 2. Not picking another number 3 batsmen. Its a mistake we paid dearly for as we picked a horribly out of form azhar and a no test class hafeez.

 

[saiyan0312]

Now comes the hard part. The tail with mathews.

 

[CrowingRooster]

68-3 after 30

 

[Boi]

Ajmal sux.

Hafeez atleast scored an 80 in the first test, azhar Ali has been a waste of space for a while now and we have wasted umar akmal.

Usual amateur comment of the day, nobody is doing well, hence replace captain and everyone will do well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

why ajmal pushing the ball rathar than flighting?

 

[CrowingRooster]

70-3 after 31

 

[hur rizvi]

toothless stuff from Ajmal, should replace him with Talha or Junaid

You seriously do not know anything about the game if you think the captain does not make any difference in cricket.

chandimal off the mark

 

[JibranAnsari]

If the captain does not make any difference then lets change the captain. It doesnt really matter ,yes?

So who is the option if not misbah??

 

[saiyan0312]

We need them to get out by around 230. Hard task.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Misses the sweep

Yeah but I think i know it a little better than these tripe 'grass is green' observations that captain makes difference to team.
Time for you to find another sport to share your rather 'basic' observations.

A perceived lack of alternatives does not mean to stick with a failure. Time to sink or swim.

1st of all Misbah isnt a complete failure, he has done acceptable Job apart from few bad series...

Lack of alternatives mean we can't switch captains, it's not a gully muhalla team that we suddenly appoint a newbie as captain

A few bad series, he has lost to SA, SL twice now, and this retarded no accountability backing of him is the prime reason why mediocrity has persisted in the team.

Alright so what are your non basic or advanced observations?

Need to take 2 quick Wicket,s

 

[hur rizvi]

Chandimal looking very good

 

[HASHAM2]

Talha Should Return for 2 over spell before Tea

 

[CrowingRooster]

83-3 after 35

 

[CrowingRooster]

Junaid's back

 

[Xoib]

Pakistan inabilty of picking wickets in clusters have hurt us.

 

[hur rizvi]

Ajmal is just not on top of his game, doesnt look like picking up a wkt anytime soon

 

[Mr Consistent]

junaid khan coms into attack

Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

Pakistan's issue goes back to batting.....the top 3 should not have been changed....eventhough shehzad did well, I still dont get why Shan Masood was dropped, and playing hafeez was a sin tbh.

All told given that we drew vs. SA a few weeks ago, there were too many personnel changes, and perhaps an over-reliance on Ajmal.

Does the captain go for that, no, because that just shows a shortage of ideas. 90% of the Ashes squad for Oz is the same that got hammered in England and with same captain.

 

[hur rizvi]

Gun barrel straight from Junaid, no reverse swing

 

[Pete Rose]

picking wickets in clusters is a plus. not a regular occurrence. They need to be patient, wickets will come.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good ball to end

 

[CrowingRooster]

Maiden as well

 

[saiyan0312]

was that reverse swing.

 

[hur rizvi]

It's beyond Pakistan now, unless something dramatic happens after Tea
