Drinks! Survived 1 session.

 

[Ironcat]

Drinks! Survived 1 session.

That would be 0.5. But the idea is right.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

That would be 0.5. But the idea is right.

I'm making the sessions smaller so it gives more hope

 

[Looney]

shafiq is on fire

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Shafiq is mad at his top order. Taking frustrations out.

 

[Legend Killer]

Shafiq looking good, InshaAllah he can keep this up

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Anyone remind Randiv of some old Bollywood actor? Can't think of his name.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Diving Shafiq. YK living on the edge.

 

[imshally81]

Anyone remind Randiv of some old Bollywood actor? Can't think of his name.

Ghalib film deki hey ap ney liaquat

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Ghalib film deki hey ap ney liaquat

I'm searching for the actor. The resemblance is uncanny.

 

[Asif321]

these two should play tilll end of day

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

I'm predicting a wicket soon.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

I'm predicting a wicket soon.

Don't!

 

[Obeid]

50 partnership!

Balleeeeee

 

[LethalSami]

I'm predicting a wicket soon.

Nostradamos couldn't even predict that

 

[Obeid]

Bublu almost was right

 

[Obeid]

Lovely shot by Asad

 

[Obeid]

Herath on. TV off

 

[Looney]

What if Pakistan win this one ? )

 

[Sunny786]

What if Pakistan win this one ? )

Inshallah with our second inning's specialist :younis

 

[Ironcat]

Younis looks "testy" against Herath. Needs to calm down a notch.

 

[Ironcat]

We just beat Sanga. 10, err.. 12 more to go.

 

[Looney]

Pakistan 101/4 as Shafiq hits a

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

100 brought up!

 

[NA]

No chance to win, but hopefully we can bat for four sessions and a couple are disrupted by rain. These two will have to play till the end of the day. I'll be up all night watching the game if that happens.

 

[Obeid]

What the hell Shafiq, no need for that

 

[Bullet Drive]

Positive from Shafiq is good.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Dangerous :[

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hope there is no rain to interrupt our chase

 

[Ironcat]

Ingenious field setting by Mahela

 

[iafzal]

Hope there is no rain to interrupt our chase

lol

 

[Bullet Drive]

Really like the way Shafiq has played the spin.

 

[Ironcat]

Younis needs to use his feet and block Randiv down the pitch/drive down the ground. That high risk sweep will only fetch him a 1 at max.

 

[Bullet Drive]

70 partnership. 1 more over before lunch and I have an exam today!

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Lunch!

 

[Afridirocks]

good session for pakistan, if pakistan to have any chance this pair need to bat the next 3 sessions which is nearly impossible tbh

 

[Obeid]

So 1/6 of the way there with 1 wicket down.

In next 2 sessions we can only lose 1 more wicket

 

[Asif321]

goood fight by yk n shafiq

 

[Sunny786]

Let's do this

 

[Asif321]

whts waqar saying , younis khan is from karachi ???

 

[Bilal7]

whts waqar saying , younis khan is from karachi ???

Thats what I was thinking.

YK just lives in Karachi.

 

[Ironcat]

399 plus taxes

 

[Bilal7]

A very interesting Talking Cricket segment during lunch.

I think Aamir Sohail was talking about Geo when he mentioned people twisting comments and misquoting him.
Also Nouman Niaz was implying that Imran Khan wanted Javed Miandad to fail during the 1996 WC because Imran would lose some of his glory if Pakistan won another WC.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Intelligent cricket

 

[Obeid]

Shafiq playing attacking cricket... not too sure why.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

:4

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Why is Faisal Iqbal in?

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Shafiq playing attacking cricket... not too sure why.

He wants to win.

 

[Legend Killer]

Thats what I was thinking.

YK just lives in Karachi.

He moved to Karachi when he was 3(said that in an interview), so he is from Karachi

 

[Ironcat]

Kulasekera still swinging it. Smother it by playing out of the crease, gents.

 

[waqar goraya]

the wicket has slowed down a lot...with newish ball herath and randiv will do the job

 

[imshally81]

Only 53 overs remaining for today.. can we survive ?

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Good shot for :4 by YK

 

[Justcrazy]

87 run partnership

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Time for a wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good partnership ...... but they needed one in the first innings to save the match. Its a little late

 

[Justcrazy]

:asad needs to get a big one here.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

50 for Shafiq. Love this kid.

 

[imshally81]

Time for a wicket.

Get out...

 

[imshally81]

Congrats to Asad for his :50

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Time for a wicket.

No!

 

[Justcrazy]

Not much batting after this.

 

[imshally81]

Herath again ...

 

[Justcrazy]

:asad needs to make this count here.

 

[Ironcat]

If these two can decipher how to undo SL bowling for the next two tests, I'll take that as the near win.

Herath: He is slow, so use your feet
Randiv: He has bounce, so play him back in the crease
Pradeep: Just wait for him to start huffing/puffing after two overs

Kulasehera: He is still swinging it. Use the crease. Smother his swing.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 378 runs with 6 wickets remaining

 

[Strike!]

What's the highest successful chase in the 4th innings?

 

[Justcrazy]

132 / 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan do not have much batting after this.

 

[LethalSami]

What's the highest successful chase in the 4th innings?

this Pak current innings shall be

 

[Justcrazy]

Awais: "I am working in my college lab for semester project along with my classfellows and every time we see on cricinfo a four is hit by Younis or Asad the whole lab cheers and shouts."
