Really hope Misbah and YK sign off on a high note. :59:

A hundred by YK in his last match would the perfect end to an ATG career.

I dreamt Younis scored a massive hundred so we'll see.

Although I think he was opening in my dream, so either my dreams are completely worthless or I somehow knew Shezhad was going to be ill :shezzy

I also want Misbah to come out to bat with zero scoreboard pressure, plenty of runs on the board and just batting to set up a declaration. Want to see him relax and have some fun in his final match :misbah

They don't call him the greatest left hander since Lara for nothing. Just look at that classy leg glance. <3

ai hai mai marjah! after every shot Masood plays I read subhanallah 100x and mashaAllah 500x on my personalised shan masood tasbee
 
Masood off the mark with 3... Brian laras world record score of 400 in danger here.

Poor decision in dropping Shadab, can hurt his confidence. I would have persisted with him for this Test. And selecting Shan ahead of Salahuddin doesn't make any sense. Babar should have opened with Azhar, with Salahuddin at 3.

Poor decision was selecting him for Test Squad in the first place and then actually playing him before he was ready IMO.
 
Shan batting at a 300 strike rate, the usual suspects should be delighted.

Imagine if Misbah retired on 402* in his final innings, bah gawd the haters would never show their face again :))) never underestimate Misbah's ability to troll those naysayers

With the luck he's been having off late, he'd probably get out on 399. :)))
 
Lol a player with a dad in the board makes it in the team , rip pakistan cricket. Hope he fails.

Truer words have never been spoken, Gabriel is starting to gas already; he's going to need a physio soon due to the physical and mental stress Shan has put him under so early in the match
 
Shehzad needed match practice for CT matches for classic hard working 50sr
 
This a good toss to lose? Or if we won the toss would we have fielded first also? I'm just wondering since a day 5 pitch, 4th innings batting would be tough against Yasir

Now that he's playing I want him to do well, we should forget about everything else; plus it's Misbah and Khan's farewell; need to send them off on a high note, but somehow we will manage to botch that :))

Misbah wouldn't have had the guts to chase in the fourth innings considering what happened in the last match.

If we don't lose more then 1-2 wickets in this morning session we will be fine

I want Misbah to do the ultimate heel turn and scored a hundred and then immediately declare, even though his batting partner is on either 337 or 399. The reactions would be GLORIOUS

I just cant support s-i-f-a-r-s-h-i-s in any form.
 
Thinks it's a good time to log off. Don't have work today, but watching the Pakistani strokeless wonders put on a cowardly batting clinic is not the best way to spend the day. Hopefully the only real 'batsman' in the team gets some runs under his belt.
 
finally a left-hand batsman in top 6. Fawad should play Pakistan's next test match at #5.

Misbah is the gutsiest cricketer in the history of Pakistan cricket, he's a highly intelligent man; safety comes first before nonsensical "bravado", it has nothing to do with a lack of fear or heart; many qualities which you'd find among the India and England batting line ups. This lion resurrected Pakistan cricket when it had been destroyed, he embodies the warrior spirit and has many a time destroyed teams batting last; it's a myth 4th innings blah blah he can't dot it. We did it in England and we did it chasing 300+ against Lanka :salute
 
With the inclement weather scheduled for all days of this Test, WI have probably secured at least a draw here by bowling first as we cannot declare before scoring at least 400 which would take close to 2 days I guess. I hope we get at least 4 full days play.

Yes yes.
 
At this current rate Masood will break Laras record by lunch time on day 2.

#No.1 Team #UndefeatedintheUAE and also destroyed England so bad they renamed their team Northern Ireland after Misbah was done with them hehe. :salute
 
It's so depressing to compare India's top 5 to ours. The difference in quality of batting is astronomical. They have the best top 5 in the world by far.
 
4th over in and Masood is still out there! [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] join me! subhanalla 100x and mashallah 500x !

They've not drew level with England in England in a 4 match test series and were taken to school by an Australia who were destroyed by Lanka who lost a Test to Bangladesh :yk

Bangladesh top order is even better than India. They scored 394/7 against Ireland A.

Kohli would've been out twice by now on this lively pitch. Shan making it look like a breeze!

It's what a win can do for you, imagine being rejected by 100000 women; you're not going to have the same level of confidence when you began your conquest and it would take the warrior spirit to rebound :afridi
 
Azhar is an outstanding Test opener, but he really is an unimpressive batsman. He barely middles 25% of the deliveries that he faces, and hardly has any shots in his arsenal. His concentration is incredible though, must feel mentally exhausted after every innings that he plays. When it comes to patience and temperament, he is probably as good as Gavaskar, Boycott, Steve Waugh and Dravid etc.
 
Masood rotating strike well.. something Azhar needs to massively improve on.
 
Pitch has no demons. Nice true bounce and ball is coming nicely on to bat.

WI did a mistake of choosing to bowl first.

Pak should look to score in excess of 400. It will only become flatter after lunch when Pak batsmen can cash in.

The ball was literally turning square from the cutters Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph were bowling. Some of the deliveries that were bowled to Younis and Shehzad got out to were just outrageous
 
Quiet a bit of turn there already! I have no issue with Pak batting first, just need to get through this session and we're good for the remainder of this test.
 
Champions trophy will be nightmare.. Shehzad and azhad opening.. I really feel bad for pakistan cricket team fans.
