[Asif321]

mard e haq showing his class

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

guick run.

 

[waqar goraya]

no wicket should fall now until new ball is taken against spin less hertath,erratic fernando,ineffective kulasekara and mediocre perera with this old ball....

 

[Looney]

Msibah out

 

[Ironcat]

Misbah gone.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[talha3]

Huge wicket. Misbah goes

All up to Asad now.

 

[Legend Killer]

Misbah gone

 

[imshally81]

ttt

 

[waqar goraya]

oh no!!i was wrong

 

[JibranAnsari]

39 in last 10 , good going.

 

[Asif321]

ohhh .. good inning

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Ironcat]

Lower order should do alright. Only one spinner.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What kind of bowlers get wickets against us

 

[Justcrazy]

Danger now !!

 

[JibranAnsari]

170 all out is a strong possibility

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 by shafiq.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lower order needs to contribute

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Perrera best figures in test.

Another lallo will get his 5fer against us.

 

[Looney]

We are making Perera look like Mcgrath .

Would take a miracle to reach 200 . Hope Shafiq is alright there .

 

[Ironcat]

Asad in pain.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not a good end of innings from misbah

 

[Ironcat]

Mountains working their magic

 

[waqar goraya]

they should try to hang around till the new ball as the ball is 50 over old and herath has not spun at all..

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

I hope asad is alright.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I can imagine now what will happen to our batting in SA. A lot of sub 100 scores.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[imshally81]

from cricbuzz

Asad seems to be in some trouble. He was holding his chest, seems to have done in a muscle there. The physio is out in the middle. Some massage has been done and Shafiq seems to be better now.

 

[waqar goraya]

Mountains working their magic

it was expected from our batsmen..but they should atleast survive untill next new ball now to get around 100 more runs

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Nice quick single.

Adnan facing dilhara.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Big responsibility will be on gul and junaid to take wickets as i don not expect anything from sami.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 by adnan

 

[Zamee]

Big responsibility will be on gul and junaid to take wickets as i don not expect anything from sami.

Sami will probably release all the pressure created by Gul, Ajmal and Junaid
Such a poor decision to pick him over A Rehman

 

[imshally81]

Adnan Join the party .... :4

 

[imshally81]

Big responsibility will be on gul and junaid to take wickets as i don not expect anything from sami.

i have feeling that Samil will play huge rule in this test... negative or Positive .. don't know.... but he has X factor

 

[imshally81]

Another :4

 

[Bhaijaan]

Scorecard looks a little better now. Asad should go on to make a big one.


Thisara Perera - Very well bowled. Player of the day so far

 

[imshally81]

Partnership 14(13) ... more than 6 RPO....

 

[waqar goraya]

Sami will probably release all the pressure created by Gul, Ajmal and Junaid
Such a poor decision to pick him over A Rehman

they had to play with 3 seamers because of conditions ...either sami or cheema...

 

[Zamee]

i have feeling that Samil will play huge rule in this test... negative or Positive .. don't know.... but he has X factor

I just cant trust this guy, X Factor i dont understand! He hasnt won a single match for Pakistan as yet!

 

[Zamee]

they had to play with 3 seamers because of conditions ...either sami or cheema...

I know ! but still you cannot dump your consistent performer over a guy who averages 50 in test cricket Thats just insane!

 

[Zamee]

Scorecard looks a little better now. Asad should go on to make a big one.


Thisara Perera - Very well bowled. Player of the day so far

[Akmal Dynasty]

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Well played!

 

[talha3]

Adnan's off. The right decision. Better to come out later in better condition. Can't risk the injury getting worse.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good 50 but the job is not nearly half done , continue on to make a big hundred.

 

[James]

Classy innings as usual. A wonderful little player.

 

[talha3]

I hope it's not a fracture.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

in for :adnan

 

[Looney]

Those who can bat are not fit and those who are fit can `t bat

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

I hope Adnan's okay, he's looks like he's in a lot of pain. Hope we can bat through w/o him having to keep again today. Sami on. YK or Shafiq to keep wickets?

 

[imshally81]

50 for Asad, Excellent Inning

 

[imshally81]

oopz, adnan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Disaster for pakistan

 

[waqar goraya]

the most damaging scene of the day...this might lead us towards a series loss

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 runs

 

[talha3]

Let's see what Sami can do...

 

[imshally81]

Asad dealing in boundries only

 

[Justcrazy]

asad

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

[talha3]

Good stuff from Sami.

Asad has been excellent.

Pakistan's session but SL still in front in this game.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tea ............. 172 / 5

 

[Ironcat]

If Pakistan can get 250+, it will be our game to lose

 

[imshally81]

and two wickets (including adnan)

He can come to the bat ..

 

[JibranAnsari]

91/1 in 25 this session ,not bad if adnan akmal bats again.

 

[JibranAnsari]

He can come to the bat ..

i hope he dos , it is crucial.

 

[Sherlock]

250/70 should be the target, if we can get there it'll be a very good total on this pitch.

 

[Sherlock]

BTW Shafiq >>> Umar Akmal in Tests all day long.

 

[doctordamor]

adnan injury huge blow he was looking good
