[GLORY OF '92]

It's the Glorious day of the return of cricket to Pakistan!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Zimbabwe batting First.
Welcome you All

 

[Kianig89]

Great occasion but i fear the level of commentar will be mundane n,club level

 

[Theo_14]

team?

 

[Kianig89]

So Anwar Ali is playing

 

[Bullet Drive]

Anwar Ali selected

Nauman on bench!!!!!!

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Afridi said 3 fast bowlers plus Anwar, so im guessing Hammad will miss out

 

[zabalestmsm]

The crowd is awesome!!!!!!!

 

[Hawkeye]

See the world Pakistan.

Where are the haters?

Hope the stereotypes are now broken. Overseas Pakistanis who haven't been to the country start promoting the REAL POSITIVE image of Pakistan.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

So Anwar Ali is playing

Anwar Ali selected

Nauman on bench!!!!!!

afridi keeping his bros in the side

hopefully Hammad and Nauman get a chance next game

 

[Kianig89]

Afridi 's english n good to see Ramiz back in Pakistan

 

[Hawkeye]

Anwar Ali selected

Nauman on bench!!!!!!

LOL what do you expect from this clueless Afridi? He's statistically the WORST captain in history. (t20s).

Playing his buddies Ahmed Shehzad, Anwar Ali.

Both are poor club cricketers.

 

[Down2Earth]

I can't believe cricket returns after 7 years and i can't watch it anywhere

 

[Kianig89]

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

What is the match timing....and who is showing in india

 

[BigBoy123]

Good no place for siasi malik

 

[Kianig89]

Huge test of Hammad no excuses today

 

[#GreenRoars]

SO, today Shezi will perform or not? and if he performs ,he'll play next game too
which literally means difficult to watch Nauman in action

 

[Zeshan547]

So no Nauman, brainless management, what else we can expect, just enjoy the misery of watching another breathtaking inning of 18 of 30 balls by better than Tendu shezyy.
