U Serious

Adnan is a good keeper and a handy batsman in test matches.

 

[qamar84]

hope adnan score big today

 

[Monsee]

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

I felt like reaching from inside my laptop and slapping the little B****...do you want all 11 wickets from bad calls?

Pakistan has gotten what 8-12 bad calls so far, what else do you want...that we don't even complain now?

What a looser

 

[Justcrazy]

220 / 6

 

[A.M.]

ball spinning

 

[talha3]

Adnan's not the youngest, Russel.

 

[Justcrazy]

226 / 6

 

[Space Cat]

That was out with DRS. Umpires giving Pakistanis one back. still owe a few.

 

[Strike!]

There was an inside edge. A very small one.

 

[James]

) Ian Gould you bring shame on England.

 

[speed]

That was out with DRS. Umpires giving Pakistanis one back. still owe a few.

depends i think it would have stayed with umpires call as it was clipping for me.

 

[Space Cat]

That type of LBW would rarely be given out before DRS as umpires aren't so confident guessing which hit first without the backup. Spinners have really benefited in that regard.


When they actually use DRS that is.

 

[A.M.]

there was an inside edge!

 

[Justcrazy]

231 / 6

 

[Space Cat]

there was an inside edge!

Yep. After it hit the pad first.

 

[A.M.]

good timing 3 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

24 run partnership.

 

[A.M.]

Yep. After it hit the pad first.

look closely it does look like he got an edge before it hit the pad

 

[JibranAnsari]

I hate kulasekara

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 274 runs with 4 wickets remaining

 

[Space Cat]

look closely it does look like he got an edge before it hit the pad

From what i seen it should of been out due it strike the pad first. Not a howlers though due to the closeness of bat and pad. I'll happily be proven wrong if i can see another replay.

 

[Space Cat]

That chubby bloke can spin a ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

How is ayub technically? Can we sit down hafeez for him next match?

 

[James]

Oh my word. Absolutely dead again! This is disgraceful stuff from Gould.

 

[A.M.]

Min overs remaining 13.0

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 272 runs with 4 wickets remaining

 

[talha3]

I'm sure they're happy to see Pradeep back.

 

[NeVerMind]

How is ayub technically? Can we sit down hafeez for him next match?

Hafeez will not be dropped purely due to the bowling option he brings.

 

[usman7]

whats the weather forecast for day 5!

ANY CHANCE OF RAIN......

 

[A.M.]

Drinks

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I hope we scores around 350 before we lose the game. it will be good confidence boost needed on this tour for batting point of view. asad is class act kid need a long run in the team, he is next moyo in making inshallah.

 

[Space Cat]

How is ayub technically? Can we sit down hafeez for him next match?

Looks solid vs spin. I have a feeling he would be found out by good seamers.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

can anyone tell me how is this ayub guy any good.

 

[imshally81]

How is ayub technically? Can we sit down hafeez for him next match?

No we can't
May be Taufeeq to go and azhar will open with M hafeez

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks solid vs spin. I have a feeling he would be found out by good seamers.

He is better against quicks , i have seen a few clips. Was not sure about spin.

 

[A.M.]

11 and a half more overs remain

 

[A.M.]

single to Adnan

 

[A.M.]

11 more to go

 

[A.M.]

single to Adnan again

 

[A.M.]

single to Ayub

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan keep fighting here which is good to see.

 

[talha3]

Ayub gone. Good effort in both innings but not good enough to keep his place.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

any chance of rain. if rain can wipe off 30 overs who knows.

 

[talha3]

Surive today, hope for a washout tomorrow.

 

[Space Cat]

He is better against quicks , i have seen a few clips. Was not sure about spin.

Yea to be fair im just going on what i've seen in this test. Rather seam and swing than just pace is what i meant also.

 

[talha3]

Rehman, please score something this time.

 

[imshally81]

Ayub Gone.....

 

[NeVerMind]

Wasn't that going down leg side?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

lThe end is iminent. I dont reckon pakistans tail will last long

 

[JibranAnsari]

So that's it

 

[JibranAnsari]

moonsoon start now this minute.

 

[shahrukh619]

Was the decision correct

 

[the Great Khan]

sounds like anotehr dodgy decision..can someone confirm if it was going down?

 

[shahrukh619]

Any chances of rain tommArow

 

[speed]

looked out was probably clipping leg stump.

 

[shahrukh619]

Feel sorry for dogar. His first innings decision quite looked dodgy even this one aswell

 

[JibranAnsari]

looks like it was missing leg by at least 3 inches..

 

[ads101]

Adnan has such nice technique, really doesn't look like the technique of someone averaging just 20 something in test and first class. Has huge potential as a batsman. Some good batting coaching and perhaps we can turn him into that batting wicket keeper we need.

 

[imshally81]

Another Great decision

 

[JibranAnsari]

Any chances of rain tommArow

tomorrow is clear , rain on wednesday

 

[ads101]

I think the decision against dogar was correct really. He was out.

Dogar strikes me as a good batsman but nothing more. Nothing really stands out about him, doesn't seem to have any flaws either. Don't think we've seen enough of him based on this one test sadly to whether he's international standard or not, and he'll be dropped next match.

 

[the Great Khan]

Another Great decision

I hate to sound like a whinger but this test match failed to remain a contest due to the inept and ridiculous umpiring! The ICC should have a close look at things..

 

[ads101]

were people convinced it wasn't out? Thought it was hitting the pad, clipping leg stump. Seemed straight forward

 

[JibranAnsari]

Adnan has such nice technique, really doesn't look like the technique of someone averaging just 20 something in test and first class. Has huge potential as a batsman. Some good batting coaching and perhaps we can turn him into that batting wicket keeper we need.

Mentality is a bigger factor , there are batsmen with flawed techniques who excel because of mental strength.

 

[Mission18thMarch]

good job rehman dont take anything from these stupid lankans

 

[imshally81]

I hate to sound like a whinger but this test match failed to remain a contest due to the inept and ridiculous umpiring! The ICC should have a close look at things..

I agreed.. I also accepted that SL's batsman played well than us.. but umpiring haunted us....

 

[the Great Khan]

I agreed.. I also accepted that SL's batsman played well than us.. but umpiring haunted us....

Tbh we were slow out of the blocks and let a mediocre slogger like dilshan get on top of us..whats encouraging is that we came back quite well in this match and I'm hopeful we can beat them in the next one..they didnt look too clever on the second day..!

 

[qamar84]

:adnan

 

[ads101]

What a great Sweetly timed and placed

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another pretty poor decision! seems umpires have been trigger happy all game against our batsmen!

i hope we get some better umpires for the next test match!

 

[talha3]

Been impressed with Adnan. Seems like he's been working on his batting.

 

[the Great Khan]

Another pretty poor decision! seems umpires have been trigger happy all game against our batsmen!

i hope we get some better umpires for the next test match!

how many now? 12-13? sorry but even the great windies would have lost with this sort of umpiring..

 

[imshally81]

but with the same panel of umpires even SLz 'A' team will beat us...

 

[Mission18thMarch]

all akmal brothers have a nice technique

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rain Forecast For Most of tmmrw

 

[qamar84]

all akmal brothers have a nice ass

?????????????????????

 

[James]

I love it when Pakistan fans conveniently forget about the plumb LBW appeals against their batsmen that were not given. Gould has had two just in the last hour; the first was disputed above but I was the only person to mention the second. It hit the back leg in front of middle - absolutely dead.

Add in the YK catch that was wrongly overturned, and it seems that on day four Pakistan have in fact had the rub of the green with decisions. The first three days it was of course Sri Lanka that had the rub of the green.

It all adds up to one conclusion: ultimately there is no conspiracy like some will sadly say. These are just really really poor umpires who have had a shocking collective game. That's all. And the appropriate action should be taken.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

If pak can play out today without losing a wicket then they might escape lucky tmmrw
