[NeVerMind]

Asad gone. Serioulsy where is the rain?

 

[HappyH]

Oh my days please ayub 200

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Well played Shafiq. Wished he carried us through but he played much better than expected.

 

[saeed-sohail]

I had completely forgotten about Ayub. Was expecting Adnan to walk in.

 

[Areesh]

Ya khuda barish kiyun nahi hoi rahi?

Where the hell is the rain?

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Mediocrity prevails..Shafiq thought his job is done?

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[James]

Fantastic innings. What a shame.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL inch closer to win here.

 

[waqar goraya]

very good innings by shafiq...but should have maximized after getting some luck..

 

[CricketBuff]

Great innings by Asad Shafiq. That is how you play test cricket. Unlucky that the catch stuck !!

 

[JibranAnsari]

, ayub will have to make 150 now

 

[Justcrazy]

191 / 6

 

[waqar goraya]

, ayub will have to make 150 now

lets lower our expectations...50 from 200 balls is needed

 

[Justcrazy]

Ayub off the mark ........ he needs to get a 50 at least to retain his place in the side for next test

 

[NeVerMind]

You know after the umpiring, you know what has been most disappointing? The weather forecast! Where are the thunderstorms and showers forecasted?

 

[Justcrazy]

194 / 5

 

[A.M.]

sweapt away

 

[qamar84]

beauty sweep by

 

[JibranAnsari]

how is ayub's technique?

 

[Justcrazy]

200 up

 

[Looney]

Ae abr e karam aaj itna baras ...

 

[talha3]

Heart in mouth.

The way things have been going, I thought he would give that.

 

[A.M.]

pathetic appeal it was nowhere near the bat

 

[Obeid]

If that was given out, I'd have a broken laptop right now.

What the hell was that appeal for

 

[Justcrazy]

moves to 80

 

[talha3]

Last over before tea coming up

 

[Space Cat]

They really put it all into these appeals.

 

[A.M.]

paddle sweep for one

 

[saeed-sohail]

4 balls till tea.

 

[qamar84]

ayub looking good to me

 

[saeed-sohail]

I am nervous in 80s.

 

[qamar84]

if we don't lose any wickets today we might get a chance

 

[saeed-sohail]

2 balls Ayb

 

[qamar84]

if ayub stay at the crease will score a 200

 

[qamar84]

tea

 

[talha3]

Tea. Not a bad session overall. Don't think we can afford to lose another wicket in the day.

 

[qamar84]

205/5

 

[A.M.]

Ayub looks to have a good technique

Tea- Pak- 205/5

 

[saeed-sohail]

Good session. Would have loved to go wicketless but still showing lot of pride.

 

[JibranAnsari]

only 305 to win , EASy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tea
pakistan 205 / 5

 

[Sherlock]

They appeal because they know the flip-flopping decisions of the umpires are pathetic, so they're taking full advantage of that.

Btw what the hell was Dilshan appealing for?

Idiot.

 

[Lachrymose]

Woke up for Fajr and read the scorecard just now.
Asad played well!
Hope Younis continues to a double and Dogar to atleast some decent score.(Sochnay main kya harj hai )

 

[Pakistaniboy]

What the hell is Herath screaming after every ball?!

Hallewaah

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rain on Wednesday , tomorrow is clear

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Rain on Wednesday , tomorrow is clear

Have faith in Younis and Ayub bro.

We CAN DO IT!

 

[JibranAnsari]

New ball due , let's hope we survive kulasekara mcgrath.

 

[Obeid]

I like Ayub. Going for the kill

 

[Justcrazy]

Saad, an optimistic Pakistan fan, thinks he has spotted a pattern: "5 Wickets and 4 sessions left. One wicket in each session; Pakistan can survive."

 

[A.M.]

 

[Obeid]

The game is over

 

[talha3]

 

[Justcrazy]

212 / 5

 

[Obeid]

Adnan and Ayub for match-saving effort?

Naaaaa

 

[talha3]

Like Shafiq, falls after hitting an offside boundary

 

[Strike!]

Welp, That's that then.

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Younis

Umpires killed this match before our chase started..

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Lachrymose]

Aaahhhh oh no

 

[Space Cat]

Davis got that one right.

 

[NeVerMind]

Younis

Umpires killed this match before our chase started..

True. Pushing this match into the 5th day will be like a mini victory for us...

 

[Mission18thMarch]

another wrong decision

 

[Lachrymose]

I had actually developed some hope...

 

[Justcrazy]

Adnan will not survive the day

 

[Asif321]

shafiq and younis missed 100 and our hopes are gone too

 

[talha3]

Watch the running between the wickets in this partnership...

 

[NeVerMind]

what the hell is Jaya comlaining about? Haven't you guys had enough favours from the umpires?

 

[Space Cat]

Akmal sounds like a chipmunk.

 

[talha3]

Kula's the danger here.
