Hoping both these batsmen capitalise on Linde being injured and perhaps not bowling now.

 

[Nadeemp]

Linde is out. He cant bowl or bat ( properly)

 

[Nadeemp]

Pakistan scores 300 and we win

 

[azimiqbal]

Babar needs to make a big hundred, if he really wants to be one best batsman in the world , make just a 109 won’t do

 

[Mainul]

Linde is out. He cant bowl or bat ( properly)

A big blow to SA. Pakistan should capitalize on it. What is the weather conditions?

 

[MHN1293]

Babar needs to make a big hundred, if he really wants to be one best batsman in the world , make just a 109 won’t do

First hope he dosent practice his usual habbit of being careless when restarting a innings.

What did i say.

 

[azimiqbal]

What is it with babar always getting out early when he is not out over night !

 

[Zeshan547]

First hope he dosent practice his usual habbit of being careless when restarting a innings.

If he keeps gifting wicket like this every new morning then he really is overrated, pathetic habit to have and softest dismissal.

 

[DeadBall]

Wasim - Babar avergaes 77 in the WTC championship, 324 in Rawalpindi ..

Next ball Babar gets out ....

 

[Khan12]

Pathetic by Babar.

 

[Zeshan547]

Pathetic by Babar.

only pak self destruction can allow saffers back in this game, what a pathetic start.

 

[DeadBall]

Babar needs to solve this problem of getting out playing loose shots early in the day

 

[MHN1293]

Wasim - Babar avergaes 77 in the WTC championship, 324 in Rawalpindi ..

Next ball Babar gets out ....

He averag3es 77 in the chanpionship. Makes 77 and is content to get out.

 

[Khan12]

only pak self destruction can allow saffers back in this game, what a pathetic start.

Too often he plays an awful shot next morning.

 

[Square Drive]

Terrible. Very disappointed in Babar there.

 

[shah_1]

Babar is the least impactful player I have seen, should never be compared with big 4. He is just a better version of Asad Shafiq

 

[saeed5646]

Babar has serious concentration issues starting a new day in test cricket. Pathetic shot

 

[Rafa]

Babar is very average compared to other test greats like Smith, Kohli and Root.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

220 max now

 

[Zeshan547]

220 max now

All thanks to Bobby the legend.

 

[jiduguravindra]

Around 300 is enough i think

 

[TeamPak95]

I swear Babar scores when I’m not watching.

 

[Ashmal]

Babar is the least impactful player I have seen, should never be compared with big 4. He is just a better version of Asad Shafiq

Babar played a pathetic shot and should be criticised but let's not go overboard here.

His runs here are in no way impactless, don't forget he came in at 20/3 and without his runs Pakistan could've been bundled out for 120.

 

[Zeshan547]

Pak was 22/4 in this match, when did that happen? Classic wasim

 

[naseem]

Babar Azam has this knack of getting out early next day.....

 

[saeed5646]

Least impactful and average player

 

[jiduguravindra]

220 max now

Fawad is still out there i think he will score century. What a waste of talent. Giving TTFs so many games but didn't consider fawad because of awkward technique.

 

[TeamPak95]

Is Wasim trying to get Fawad out here with his comments?! From what I’m reading, he’s already claimed Babar here.

 

[DeadBall]

Indian match thread getting much more replies than this one.

He already claimed one, next change should be given to ramiz

 

[BigShak]

We are truly minnows. Forever failing to capitalise in key moments to assert dominance.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Not the first time Babar getting out early after being not overnight. Miles to go before being included in fab 5.

 

[DeadBall]

Chalo...

Looks like SA have woken up....

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pathetic comment, unless sarcasm.

Talk about the stupidity of batsmen rather blaming commentator who is just doing his job.

 

[Zeshan547]

self destruction at its best, Saffers just need to grab their chances. Worst possible start.

 

[Rafa]

Crazy by Pakistan

 

[dildilpak]

What the... i woke up to see this??? Classic Pak

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Suicide run

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Brilliant from Buvuma but honestly wasn’t needed from Fawad. Well played.

 

[naseem]

This test is not going to be a good memory for many..... Pak has lost many virtues of past teams..but they have still posses the habit or knack of overconfidence n nervousness.......... Babar need to reflect on his short selection and mental awareness esp after break ....or next day.....

 

[TeamPak95]

Thanks Wasim for the run out.

 

[BigShak]

Bunch of numpties. Time to go back to sleep.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

The famous Misbah meme returns

 

[TeamPak95]

Pathetic comment, unless sarcasm.

Talk about the stupidity of batsmen rather blaming commentator who is just doing his job.

It’s a joke my dude. Obviously it was careless stuff from the batsmen.

 

[DeadBall]

Sir Rana.

 

[Kaddy]

This is really frustrating......

I woke up early just to watch Babar Azam score his century.

This is his third consecutive series where he got out early in the morning.

And now Fawad is also gone......

 

[DeadBall]

Looks like Linda won't even be needed.

 

[Darkness]

Rana sahb oozing class

 

[DeadBall]

Given the recent performances I think a Faheem v Pant thread is in order.

 

[Nadeemp]

Rana sahb oozing class

Faheem is the 2nd coming of Sobers. Man he looks good all of a sudden. Good on him

 

[PakPremi]

SA have been top notch this match. Fielding help bowlers exert pressure. Faheem looks to be on suicide mission today, may not last.

 

[Nadeemp]

Faheem got style

 

[DeadBall]

Faheem is the 2nd coming of Sobers. Man he looks good all of a sudden. Good on him

You mean that Sobers was a 1.0 version of Sir Rana.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Just logged in, we are only 20 minutes of play and already 2 out? This is beautiful.

SA are a little late in getting these two wickets as I wanted Pak to get all out at around 180ish to make it an interesting content but I guess this should work too.

Let SA finish it off quickly and get to bat. They will prolly score around 200 as well, and hence we may have an even contest on the cards.

 

[MenInG]

Easy with the Faheem trolling please.

 

[DeadBall]

Easy with the Faheem trolling please.

The praise on my part is genuine tbh.

 

[naseem]

This partnership is key....hope we r not going to see the reversal of first test...

 

[naseem]

The praise on my part is genuine tbh.

Atm it is not needed tbh

 

[TeamPak95]

If these two can put on a decent partnership, 250 is on.

 

[Nadeemp]

happy for him. changed man

 

[Nadeemp]

250-275 will be a good score. 300 and its game over

 

[DeadBall]

Rizwan channeling his inner Shehzad and middling it to the fielders.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Last recognised batting pair, 300 looks too far, unless one of them smashes a quick ton.

 

[MenInG]

 

[MenInG]

Looks like Linda won't even be needed.

Easy with the name mangling.

 

[PakPremi]

All thanks to Bobby the legend.

It was Babar in partnership with Fawad who led Pak from 22-3 to 145-3. In his test that could be a big contribution. Its another thing that he should have went on to put Pak on top.
Faheem against spin is having trouble.

 

[PakPremi]

Both umpires have been good in this match.

 

[naseem]

Good thing review lost....

 

[DeadBall]

Easy with the name mangling.

I wrote Linde actually but it seems like Linda was saved in the auto correct when I mentioned Rameez's pronunciation yesterday.

 

[DeadBall]

444444 more for Faheem

 

[PakPremi]

I feel 50s could be like centuries in this match.

 

[Nadeemp]

Shaaaaaaaaaaaat. Playa

 

[Nadeemp]

Need bowl around the corner

 

[Zeshan547]

I wrote Linde actually but it seems like Linda was saved in the auto correct when I mentioned Rameez's pronunciation yesterday.

Anyways it was funny and harmless.

 

[Nadeemp]

New ball

You are on thin ice .

 

[Nadeemp]

Indias gave is a bore. With Raheem here batting. Looks interesting.
