[lalaji]

why does sanga has everyone on the boundry...he should bring them in...lol

 

[dirk diggler]

impressed with value Rauf puts on his wkt

 

[lalaji]

Rikshaw on sale outside ground...man MYK should buy it for Butt and let him ride home

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Crowd dancing away

 

[afridi.rocks]

allah hafiz..im going to sleep. Hope Pakistan wins.. not that it look likely

 

[OZGOD]

How can anyone CHILL in a situation like that ? I'm getting Jolts of Electricity down my spine watching this match

There's a lot of time for your team mate. The batters at the crease just need to be patient - block the good balls and put the bad ones away. No need to smash it around, they have HEAPS of time.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 runs

 

[insaftak]

76 to win

 

[dirk diggler]

3 runs in this over,

 

[Wassixpakistani]

i think Iqbal deserve better...

whats the point of picking him for every test series and then not give him a chance in a single match?

If you were given a choice to pick between Razzaq and Iqbal then who would you pick ?.
A guy who's won matches for pak many times with both bat and bowl or A guy who's below average in most of his matches and can't play swing

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Malik and Kamran Akmal should be tried as openers in next match. Bring back Razzaq and Faisal Iqbal/Kaneria.

 

[pak4life]

I just woke up I nearly had a heart attack! What happened to us!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

What's our strategy right now? Just survive and eek out the runs?

 

[azfar wali]

74 more runs needed to win

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 off the over

You expect the tailender's to play Mendis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

73 more

 

[muhammad.kamran]

y are all of u behing the oppeners.....u see 36 runs stand in Pakistan's second innings was the best oppening stand of this match..... our middle order lost its track to bring PAkistan team to this situation..... and if Pakistan team need a change then replace Misbah-Ul-Haq with any batsman or even Abdul Razzaq......Misbah-Ul-Haq has always shown to pressurize the Pakistan when Pakistan team needs him most....a run out...huh!....he always has a different style to get out........ in t20 wc it was Misbah-Ul-Haq who caused Pakistan to lose the match from sri lanka in super stage.....and there are a lot of other examples as well....

Kamran Akmal can open, he has done it before in a test match

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Runs per wicket has gone down from 25.5 to 24

 

[insaftak]

73 to win

 

[Muddaser]

I just woke up I nearly had a heart attack! What happened to us!

You said it.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mendis arrives

 

[dirk diggler]

mendis brought in does the job

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1st ball and gone

 

[lalaji]

If you were given a choice to pick between Razzaq and Iqbal then who would you pick ?.
A guy who's won matches for pak many times with both bat and bowl or A guy who's below average in most of his matches and can't play swing

i would still pick Iqbal....i think he hasn't been given a fair chance....

Razaq can come in place of Malik since he doesn't bowl really anyway, and he is not that good of test batsmen in first place...

Fawad should come in place of Manzoor and Iqbal for butt..

we got 4 seamers with Razaq and 2 spinners with Fawad and SA/danish

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Runs per Wicket has gone up from 24 to 36!

 

[TruSachFan]

bowled

 

[Khabri420]

Can't really expect Gul to win us a match

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Umar Gone............Now OZGOD please leave any hopes of a win for pakistan........

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gul gone

Ajmal and Aamer to hit 30 each

 

[Pak_mystery]

What's our strategy right now? Just survive and eek out the runs?

i think they wana atleast get to the 100 before getting out so atleast the defeat wont sound that bad..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik trying to find solace in reading FUNDAY hahahaha

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Surely its been a funday for them lot!

 

[insaftak]

hahahaha, i'm trying not to bang my head against the wall by laughing

 

[cricketpassion]

Malik reading the magzine (Funday)

 

[Khabri420]

Might as well just go nuts and hit out

 

[hmujtaba]

An expensive over.

Our team surely likes to give the crowd value for their money.

I think it is a plan by to increase the TV Ratings on the fourth day and prove to the ICC that people still watch test cricket

 

[slix10]

Ah what the hell.

Ah. Hell.

 

[ali_ed2006]

well Mendis got a wicket, this was expected from him against the tail.

Probably might not even score 100.

 

[dirk diggler]

malik the sheep is unbelievable, he's now picked up a kids magazine

 

[ammarz]

Rauf needs to farm the strike now. he is the only one decent enough to play the spinners.

 

[Khabri420]

only 18 fours to go

 

[bluffmasterv2]

malik the sheep is unbelievable, he's now picked up a kids magazine

which is called "fun day"

 

[insaftak]

he is reading funday

 

[Wassixpakistani]

i would still pick Iqbal....i think he hasn't been given a fair chance....

Razaq can come in place of Malik since he doesn't bowl really anyway, and he is not that good of test batsmen in first place...

Fawad should come in place of Manzoor and Iqbal for butt..

we got 4 seamers with Razaq and 2 spinners with Fawad and SA/danish

hmmmphhh.........Well Malik hasn't been performing with the bat lately so yeah I think Iqbal should come in.

Kamran Akmal
Faisal Iqbal
Misbah-ul-haq
Younis khan
Mohammad Yousuf
Abdul Razzaq
Fawad Alam
Abdur Rauf
Umer Gul
Mohammad Amer
Saeed Ajmal

I would take this line-up for the 2nd test

 

[insaftak]

what is wrong with malik

 

[slix10]

What exactly happened to the pitch overnight?

It was alright on day 3.

This is unreal.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Aamer doing the right thing, taking the singles.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I've lost over an hour's sleep watching this - And now want to go back to sleep but cant afford to do so! Arrrrrrghhhhhhhhhh!

 

[lalaji]

Guys Remember Wasim and Waq saving us winning us that test match ?

remember inzi wining against Aus with mushy...i know we dont have anyone like inzi left ot bat but i still have hope

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This is "REAL" PAKISTAN CRICKET!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

hmmmphhh.........Well Malik hasn't been performing with the bat lately so yeah I think Iqbal should come in.

Kamran Akmal
Faisal Iqbal
Misbah-ul-haq
Younis khan
Mohammad Yousuf
Abdul Razzaq
Shoaib Malik
Abdur Rauf
Umer Gul
Mohammad Amer
Saeed Ajmal

I would take this line-up for the 2nd test

Shoaib Malik is far better choice than Fawad Alam. He has experience of these turning tracks and he has played Murali before and mendis as well.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh well atleast they manage to get to 100

 

[cricketpassion]

100 up

 

[Muddaser]

bowled

Crawled out have you?

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I will blame this collapse totally on Butt.
The shot he played...................that reminded me of the batting collapse that happened in the AUS / Pak series triggered by Misbah.

 

[ammarz]

100 Up!!!!

 

[lalaji]

hmmmphhh.........Well Malik hasn't been performing with the bat lately so yeah I think Iqbal should come in.

Kamran Akmal
Faisal Iqbal
Misbah-ul-haq
Younis khan
Mohammad Yousuf
Abdul Razzaq
Fawad Alam
Abdur Rauf
Umer Gul
Mohammad Amer
Saeed Ajmal

I would take this line-up for the 2nd test

that was my line up too..but i would open with Fawad and Iqbal...i have full faith in those two that they can't be any worst than butt and manzoor...

even the way Aamir is playing, he will do better than Butt pappu

 

[OZGOD]

There's a lot of time for your team mate. The batters at the crease just need to be patient - block the good balls and put the bad ones away. No need to smash it around, they have HEAPS of time.

OK Gul's out, you guys are basically farked I think.

This is "REAL" PAKISTAN CRICKET!

Pitch mutilation overnight.

:Sami

 

[insaftak]

100 up balle balle

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misfield ends up giving away an extra run

 

[chill79]

you guys are sick... BuTT is the most reliable batsmen in the current era.. he just needs sometime and YK should have faith in Butt... thats not me folks that was Ramiz Raja yesterday... Butttt ka buhhhhhhhhhaaaaattttttttt baraaaaaaaaaa paaaawwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaa hai. I wonder kiska :s

 

[cricketpassion]

just 65 left now inshallah we will do it

 

[insaftak]

OK Gul's out, you guys are basically farked I think.

i love your pessimism.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Shoaib Malik is far better choice than Fawad Alam. He has experience of these turning tracks and he has played Murali before and mendis as well.

ohhh come now , sure Malik can play spin but so can YOUSUF,MISBAH and YOUNIS and RAUF , besides IT AIN'T THE SPIN THATS CAUSING PROBLEMS.Right now Fawad will be a better choice since he's well in-form and Malik ain't

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another 2 to end the over

 

[lalaji]

Butt is clean shave, he speak good eng and he is from lahor...aik dum chikna...aur kya chaye?

 

[TruSachFan]

Crawled out have you?

Yup. The whole wasn't as big as the one u're in.

 

[hmujtaba]

What exactly happened to the pitch overnight?

It was alright on day 3.

This is unreal.

BCCI conspiracy,

i knew that would happen

 

[akpower]

Cricinfo commentary

35.2

Mendis to Mohammad Aamer, 1 run, Aamer gets forward and bunts it through cover for a single

Mendis strikes with his first ball. The camera just panned to Shoaib Malik who's reading Fun-day. Haven't heard of it before, but couldn't help but notice the irony

.. if it means anything to u guys

 

[lalaji]

ohhh come now , sure Malik can play spin but so can YOUSUF,MISBAH and YOUNIS and RAUF , besides IT AIN'T THE SPIN THATS CAUSING PROBLEMS.Right now Fawad will be a better choice since he's well in-form and Malik ain't

exp ko kya sath lay kar jaye ge?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

yk nowhere to be seen on the balcony

 

[Muddaser]

Yup. The whole wasn't as big as urs.

What?

 

[azfar wali]

63 more runs needed

 

[hmujtaba]

Kulasekara should bowl all the overs

 

[Wassixpakistani]

that was my line up too..but i would open with Fawad and Iqbal...i have full faith in those two that they can't be any worst than butt and manzoor...

even the way Aamir is playing, he will do better than Butt pappu

Fawad and Razzaq would make a deadly lower order , since pakistan batting collapses more than often these days thats why i will have fawad along with razzaq come bat in the lower order

 

[insaftak]

yk nowhere to be seen on the balcony

he must be smoking weed or drinking liquor to stop him from committing suicide

 

[Khabri420]

They should be looking to get most of their runs off Kulasekara
