[JibranAnsari]

This guy has pearly white teeth.

 

[JaDed]

What a surprise Pak back to playing exciting cricket atleast in tests!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Prasad to ruin the party?????

 

[Bullet Drive]

Something is about to happen. Wicket me thinks.

 

[Arsal_AK]

How many overs left guys??

 

[Kianig89]

cruicial phase this tricky 30 mmins

 

[D/DAhmed]

Each and every one of Shan's offside drives have gone to the fielder. Really needs to improve placement

 

[Bullet Drive]

93* to Shaan. Beautiful batting.

"superb batting by Shan Masood" Russel Arnold.

 

[Kianig89]

Dhammika Prasad

 

[walashi]

How many overs left guys??

17 overs left

 

[Kianig89]

Yesterday didn't though this will go to Day 5

 

[Arsal_AK]

Something is about to happen. Wicket me thinks.

YK is hell bent on getting out vs the spinner.

 

[Abdullah]

The more I think about this the more I am sure that these 2 need to do the bulk of the scoring.

Shan will be nervous approaching his hundred
YK may relax when he gets to a hundred.
Shan may relax when he gets to a hundred.
It is going to be difficult for a new batter to start in these conditions. That is why we do not see many 300 plus chases
They are going to get the new ball when we are still 100 runs short which is a lot of runs.
After the new ball ( we will lose a wicket or 2) there will still be enough runs for kaushal to come and bowl at the lower order, which will be tough.

WASP is saying 19%

 

[Bullet Drive]

186 more to win.

We on top of hill. Half way. Looking down now

 

[Man Of Steel]

Now more than Shan, I fear YK facing the spinner, nervous moments

 

[Kianig89]

At max. we will get 8-9 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

Uh oh bad news guys....

reverse swing.

 

[Pete Rose]

Imran Khan best bowler for the day

 

[Kianig89]

Misbah is out of form Asad as Per PPers cant when we need to win/draw that means only Sarfraz

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lights not looking good guys........


We should go off now. But then itll be bad for both bats as theyll fail tmrw morn then with ton

 

[Bullet Drive]

These two must stay for next 86.

 

[Kianig89]

Series on line here 2:

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shan is going to try to get ton this over me thinks...... down the track.. stumped? hmmmmmm

 

[Arsal_AK]

Cant believe I am saying this but Shan needs to keep YK off strike vs the spinner.

 

[walashi]

masood on 96*

 

[Bullet Drive]

96* wow..... this will be such a proud moment seeing Shaaannnnn do this. Can't have imagined this speaking to him those years ago.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

96* for Shan

 

[Arsal_AK]

Light's pretty good for now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

87 to YK

96 to Shaan

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

6 from Masood and that's his 100

 

[walashi]

100 up for masood

 

[JaDed]

 

[Markhor]

A big six to bring up his hundred !

Well played lad.

 

[Neferpitou]

MashaAllah fantastic hundred!!@@@

 

[Arsal_AK]

100 for Shan. Brilliant innings .

A fourth innings is always special.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Haha, now I think BD, you can ask for any words with full confidence.

 

[JaDed]

well done Shan!

 

[Bullet Drive]

The best ton for me. Most happiest I've ever been for a ton.

SHAAAAAN!!! what a knock superb guy

 

[the Great Khan]

What a way to get to your hundred.. cmon [MENTION=56866]Bullet Drive[/MENTION] you were saying they were nervous lol

 

[MSaad1237]

 

[PCP_1]

Well played dude.

 

[hussain.r97]

Wonderful innings from Masood!

 

[imshally81]

Ton for Masood.....

 

[akamaka]

What a hundred

 

[Belawal2014]

So much to like about Shan Masood. Great knock.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Best inning sby a PAK opener in agesssssss.

Would Hafeez have done thisS?

 

[the Great Khan]

have to say he's made some of us critics eat massive humble pie..well done shaan this is what you do, just go out there and score runs...rather than complaining about positions and what not..

 

[JaDed]

The positive approach by Pakistani Batsmen has surprised the Lankans and worked well for Pakistan.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Sharp turn and nearly....

 

[Shafi]

Congratulation to prove your critic wrong!!!! Well done 100

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

So Hafeez was stop a talent like Shan. Congratulation for maiden ton but the job is not done man need to stay their till the end. . . . .

 

[Markhor]

Jesus, that turned sharply.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Hopefully Masood doesn't relax too much now.

 

[Red Devil]

Brilliant knock!

 

[Ahson8]

Great knock!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Have just sent Shaan a message. Any messages you guys want to send him?

 

[Madplayer]

Up there with the best hundereds in recent times by a Pakistan opener. 4th innings, chasing a huge total, pressure to secure a spot, series decider and he delivers.

 

[Kianig89]

Hundred for Shan top stuff is it LAxman Dravid v.2 in making

 

[Man Of Steel]

Godddddd!

 

[yasir]

What a way to get 100!! - great knock under pressure.

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Congrats to Shaan Masood. One of the best test hundreds from a Pakistani players in difficult situation in some time.

 

[Kianig89]

Job not done a daddy hundred is required

 

[ExplicitAI]

Well played Shan!

 

[Arsal_AK]

The thing I like about Shan the most is that he works on his weaknesses and it shows.

A point I made last year too during that NZ series.

 

[Madplayer]

Have just sent Shaan a message. Any messages you guys want to send him?

Tell him to not let both hafeez and shehzad make the playing XI.

 

[uberkoen]

and a hundred for Masood

 

[Kianig89]

NOw eyes on YK

 

[Asif321]

he has done this under extreme extreme pressure . deserves a long run clearly a mentally strong individual

 

[MSaad1237]

Still 172 more runs to go ..


Damn !!

 

[Arsal_AK]

90* yk.

 

[Bullet Drive]

[MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] hope you ok

 

[Madplayer]

Yes definitely mentally strong is shan. Never looked like under pressure although we all know he really had to get a chimpanzee off his back.

 

[akamaka]

So srilanka has started their weird field placings

 

[Kianig89]

Wadda response so far

 

[wasimjunior]

[MENTION=134250]wasimjunior[/MENTION] hope you are well and not burning
[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION]

Why would I?

My teams winning. Clown views with self jusfifying hyperbole and only piping up when you choose to as usual so cute.

Fact is I don't think his selection was on merit.. Based on his inferior record to his rivals. That's a fact.

If he chooses to do well and make the most of this and cement his place then well done to him and long it may it continue. The onus is on him to prove people wrong..

We shall see how he goes in the long run.. As even farhat manzoor etc have hundreds.

 

[Madplayer]

Still 172 more runs to go ..


Damn !!

It was 377. And we were 15/2
