Babaar 30 from 30 balls

 

[Saeed]

by brother zulfli.

 

[GreenRage]

This is way above our standards now can't take it anymore even sangakara is not happy.

 

[WrexEverything]

All you people criticizing Asad for batting slowly. Facepalm.

 

[MarkCooper]

Love it! Give it a whack! Shafiq is from Yorkshire so his 100 is no surprise.

 

[Yatoo]

Love it! Give it a whack! Shafiq is from Yorkshire so his 100 is no surprise.

[imshally81]

So zulfi is better than riaz n yasir in terms of batting?

 

[Justcrazy]

Rain in the air.

 

[imshally81]

Please no rain

 

[Justcrazy]

64 runs partnership

 

[m.shah]

A lead of 100 and few wickets today would make things interesting!

 

[aukhan]

4 again by Zulfi

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Saeed]

Baber will get his 150 before Asad does.

 

[imshally81]

Another boundary

 

[aukhan]

again

Anyone remembers Zulfi against Aussies?

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Hawkeye]

Zulfiqar more comfortable than Shehzad and Azhar against Herath.

 

[Abdullah]

We should just bat abs bat here. There is no thread. Matthews has lost the script

 

[IAJ]

Lols Babar taking singles in one of the last deliveries so he can keep the strike next over.

 

[Markhor]

Zulfiqar batting beautifully here

Come on get your 50 lad.

 

[imshally81]

Boundary in the end of over

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Baber will get his 150 before Asad does.

Ok man the mgmt will drop Asad next game...now happy?

 

[Yatoo]

Babar is playing anchor. Shielding Shafiq [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

 

[uberkoen]

Baber will get his 150 before Asad does.

Beta go watch T-20. Test cricket tumhare bas ki baat nahi.

 

[Saeed]

Reverse sweep attempted by asad and four.

 

[Justcrazy]

80 runs lead

 

[Abdullah]

Get our runs today and put them under pressure 2maw.

 

[Shafi]

If we had at least a good opener and a fast bowler from Shehzad, Hafeez and Junaid we could end up win this test.

 

[Yatoo]

Who will score 100 first. Herath or Perera

 

[PCP_1]

Good to see the lower order showing some fight.

 

[Saeed]

Beta go watch T-20. Test cricket tumhare bas ki baat nahi.

It day 4, if they keep up with Misbah's plan we won't a thing in SL.

 

[uberkoen]

Shafiq shuffling.

 

[imshally81]

Seriously... Asad is the SL basher... After Afridi

 

[IAJ]

The wicket is gone completely flat, expect SL to pile up some runs here as well.

 

[Moe]

Some of these PPers are just too impatient....

 

[PTI]

A very valuable innings by Zulfiqar in the context of the match.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Some of these PPers are just too impatient....

Yup.... too much 2020. Or they think its a disney cartoon, "just believe, and then you can hit six 6's in an over!!"

 

[Justcrazy]

Herath just one wicket so far

 

[PTI]

Zulfiqar is giving batting tips to asad ,

 

[IAJ]

when is the tea time?

 

[imshally81]

The wicket is gone completely flat, expect SL to pile up some runs here as well.

But day 5 pitch has always some juice for spinners

 

[uberkoen]

After Day 1 and 2 if anyone thought this match would end with a result is either plain delusional or lacks the basic cricketing knowledge.

 

[Haroon786]

Herath just one wicket so far

Past his prime.

 

[uberkoen]

But day 5 pitch has always some juice for spinners

lol. Really? Did you read that in a book somewhere?

 

[imshally81]

What a way to get 50... 6

 

[PTI]

Zulfi is a class batsman

 

[ViciousMachine]

6 for his 50!!! WOW!!! Amazing job by Babar!!!

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Naim]

50 for chacha zulfi

 

[imshally81]

lol. Really? Did you read that in a book somewhere?

No watched at cartoon network..

 

[Shafi]

Congratulation Zulfi!! Proud of you. Carry on bro

 

[IAJ]

Misbah gesturing "ok come back to tuk tuk now"

 

[Neferpitou]

Whattay performance from Zulfi.

 

[PTI]

Hafeez is trying to emulate the six shot by Zulfiqar.
Not a surprise

 

[Abdullah]

What a shot by baba g!!!

 

[Zeshan547]

Is it really happening? Talk about miracales.

 

[Justcrazy]

Baabar

 

[aukhan]

Misbah giving instructions

We need more runs.

 

[uberkoen]

"Kia baat a hai Zulfi bhai" - Asad Shafiq

 

[GreenRage]

Zulfi you beauty

 

[Justcrazy]

Baabar is no mug with the bat , he is just old.

 

[Haroon786]

Herath nearing his ton.

 

[angrypathan]

Exactly, thanks.

If you look at this team, Wahab and Yasir are the only Test class bowlers.

It would be great if the two mediocre bowlers could bat well enough to convert 180-5 into 390 all out half an hour before the end of Day 4.

Because that would set up a push for victory.

390-8 and still going

 

[imshally81]

Tea

 

[Hawkeye]

Zulfiqar is amazing against spin.

He's so good against Herath too.

 

[Saeed]

"Kia baat a hai Zulfi bhai" - Asad Shafiq

He must have been amazed, should swap their batting positions.

 

[ViciousMachine]

I think we should declare now (well, at tea, in a minute).

 

[imshally81]

What about lead of 150 runs?

 

[uberkoen]

Tea.

 

[Moe]

Yup.... too much 2020. Or they think its a disney cartoon, "just believe, and then you can hit six 6's in an over!!"

They want to see a result in every single test match and every batsman should play with a strike above 100. Did I miss anything else you want to see in a test match [MENTION=52376]Saeed[/MENTION]?

 

[Haroon786]

Think Pakistan should just bat out the innings, if Lanka collapse after tea or tommorow morning,then we will have a real chance of securing a highly unlikely victory.

 

[Saeed]

I think we should declare now (well, at tea, in a minute).

Agreed, we need at least 100 overs to get them out.

 

[BigBoy123]

Zulfi > Tendulkar [emoji14]

[Abdullah]

MashaAllahm
I would carry on batting for 2 hours at least before making Deciding the next move.
Ideally I would like a 220 lead lol.

 

[Zeshan547]

That's what positive cricket can do, we have batted about 100 overs at 3.8 that's why we are 80 run ahead, and if we batted in typical old class test rate like about 2.7 we would still be 30 run short of sri lankan total despite batting same number of overs and at that slow we get bowled out now we would still have been screwed. But this fast scoring rate have almost certainly not only saved pak from possible loss but also have have us outside chance of winning this test. [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] are you watching mate?

 

[taqi]

no declaration maximum lead if we can get 120-150 and get couple of wickets tonight

 

[Abdullah]

Agreed, we need at least 100 overs to get them out.

Dude there Z 98 overs 2maw. AND STILL 37 today. Let's try to get to a position where we do not need to bat(which is a long way away) but the runs are coming easy now rather than leaving ur self 175 chase on a day 5 pitch

 

[Justcrazy]

Tea

Pakistan lead by 90 runs
