[carbon11]

well played idone

 

[truthseer]

Ajmal, FOUR

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 183 now.

 

[imshally81]

Good Batting by Shafiq

 

[A.M.]

Shafiq should wait for the 4th ball and then hit

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

How has everyone forgotten Ajmal's exploits in the previous test match batting at the No.3 position...

Fighting cricketer!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

worst tail in world cricket and Asad is offering the strike to tail at start of the over

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need not bowl a lot , the other bowlers should chip in with overs .......... can bowl 15 overs tightly.

 

[A.M.]

spinnnn

 

[Justcrazy]

5 overs .......... another 25 would be so nice

 

[Bullet Drive]

295-7. Shafiq should play 4 balls and then let Ajmal have two.

 

[DW44]

Ball turning square. Ajmal probably can't wait to have a go at the SL batsmen.

 

[NeVerMind]

bounce and turn..ajmal eyes light up!

 

[Justcrazy]

If only SL bowl a few bad balls now .........

 

[osee_bhai]

Wow that one turned.

 

[talha3]

worst tail in world cricket and Asad is offering the strike to tail at start of the over

Ajmal can fight it out. We need to take runs on offer, the lead is too small.

 

[Justcrazy]

is happy to see turn.

 

[truthseer]

Well done by Shafiq here

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to some how get this lead above 200 or even up to 220!

Pretty much the lead we gave away on 1st inns has cost us game like i thought it would.

 

[osee_bhai]

And hey you idiots, we need all the runs we can get, if Asad has to get a single, so be it.

 

[Justcrazy]

can also be an important bowler on last day.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 to Shafiq.

 

[talha3]

Thanks Sanga.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Fumble!

 

[A.M.]

thanks Sanga two to Shafiq

 

[Justcrazy]

No need to protect , every run counts now.

 

[NeVerMind]

thanks to the misfield Asad retains the strike..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lead by 184 runs with 3 wickets remaining

 

[A.M.]

left alone

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope the pitch becomes mine field tomorrow

 

[Bullet Drive]

Easy single. Ajmal has to survive only 2.

 

[A.M.]

so Ajmal to face two balls

 

[NeVerMind]

I hope the pitch becomes mine field tomorrow

I was thinking the same thing. Here's hoping for overnight showers too.

 

[truthseer]

Can't believe people are attacking Ajmal's batting, at least, as limited as his ability may be, he shows fight, something Gul can learn from

 

[A.M.]

first ball defended

 

[qamar84]

akmal paded up good news

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adnan Akmal will bat!

 

[talha3]

Adnan's padded up. Brave stuff.

 

[A.M.]

well played

 

[truthseer]

Bullet Drive, why do you seem happy on Asad's early incompetency with the tail?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Someone tomorrow has to come through with a magical performance!

 

[NeVerMind]

Ajmal survives

 

[A.M.]

4 more overs left

 

[imshally81]

Ajmal survived again

 

[A.M.]

how roshan is calling Pakistans lead inadequate !! i really do wish Pak win this match

 

[Bullet Drive]

Single. Ajmal on strike.

 

[Zamee]

Poor running

 

[osee_bhai]

I wonder how many more centuries and big scores Asad would get if he was up the order.

 

[A.M.]

turn

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bullet Drive, why do you seem happy on Asad's early incompetency with the tail?

Where do you come to that conclusion from..

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[A.M.]

i see a sweap coming out

 

[talha3]

Ajmal gone

 

[A.M.]

 

[carbon11]

 

[Zamee]

Oh God

 

[NeVerMind]

Ajmal gone

 

[talha3]

Adnan in. Tense times.

 

[imshally81]

Adnan's padded up. Brave stuff.

Yappie

 

[A.M.]

Adnan Akmal coming out big Partnership this

 

[NeVerMind]

Adnan coming in now!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Still dont understand Asads tactics here!

 

[Zamee]

Still dont understand Asads tactics here!

What are you suggesting?

 

[imshally81]

Ajmal gone.... Adnan in

 

[Amjid Javed]

Adnan in now? why not come in before sami/gul/ajmal?

really stupid decision!

 

[Boi]

Surely that was going over the top? Big stride from Ajmal + it hit him on the roll.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad is a stupid , why would you take singles and expose the tail , just to remain no out in the end?

 

[A.M.]

first ball defended

 

[truthseer]

Where do you come to that conclusion from..

Wrong person, it was someone else.

 

[Zamee]

Its turning! Yayyyyy

 

[TaZ]

What is Asad doing?? Needs to go on a batting with the tail course!

 

[A.M.]

turn again nice to see

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adnan keeps out 3 balls. Well done.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What are you suggesting?

He looks clueless on how to bat with the Tail!

Needs to watch videos of how Inzi use to bat with tail and take most of the strike and take calculated risks.

 

[talha3]

Adnan survives. Asad must take charge now.

 

[Zamee]

Adnan in now? why not come in before sami/gul/ajmal?

really stupid decision!

Thiss

 

[imshally81]

Still dont understand Asads tactics here!

I think... he is fine......

 

[NeVerMind]

Seriously need to find a bowling all rounder! On the plus side the ball is spinning...

 

[JibranAnsari]

A bit of brains from asad would have helped pakistan dearly.

 

[truthseer]

That was not out
