Big session ahead.

Azhar looks pretty good here. Important he cashes in & makes the most of it.

Taufiq has battled hard & overcome the new ball.

Key will to be avoid losing wickets in this session. Need to maintain that level of application & concentration.

Dig in & frustrate the Windies!

Set up the game nicely toward's Pakistan's favour......

I'm backing Azhar to get a big one today, he looks in control against the fast bowlers, a touch nervous against Bishoo though. I'm sure he can overcome that.

 

[NJamal]

Play about to start after lunch, Sammy to bowl

 

[NJamal]

47/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hey Folks! Hows it going?

Need to bat out the session as Taufeeq negotiates the 1st over after lunch.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bishoo from the other end.

 

[ahsan88]

I think the West Indian plan is for Sammy to contain the runs at one end and Bishoo to attack from the other end.

It would be interesting to see how Azhar & Taufeeq cope with this. Need to rotate strike constantly.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Cut away/edged

 

[NJamal]

Edged & 444444444444 by Azhar

 

[Afridi_Fan]

51/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Glanced away fine for couple more.

53/1.

 

[NJamal]

53/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Firmly driven by TU straight to the fielder though.

 

[shahidafridi123]

I hope Azhar scores his maiden ton. Misbah has a big job as well.

 

[NJamal]

Maiden 53/1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

AA almost found a gap.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

There is that uneven bounce again. Need to be careful.

 

[shaheer]

I don't understand whats going in Azhar's mind he was playing so well suddenly he has gone in block everything gear.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

TU

 

[NJamal]

444444444444 by Taufeeq

 

[ahsan88]

Good shot by Taufeeq goes for 4

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Please don't review it

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And review it is. )

 

[ahsan88]

I don't understand whats going in Azhar's mind he was playing so well suddenly he has gone in block everything gear.

I think Azhar is a bit uncertain against Bishoo.

TU given lbw, will review it.

 

[NJamal]

Stupid review it looks OUT

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I don't understand whats going in Azhar's mind he was playing so well suddenly he has gone in block everything gear.

I think the fact that he is trying to get his eye back in after a break has no importance, right?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

That is plumb.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Wasted review

 

[NJamal]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Taufeeq

 

[Afridi_Fan]

On field called, one review goes into bin. If there is no Farhat another opener will use a review. Story of Pakistan cricket.

 

[shaheer]

sammy he makes me laugh eevn a team of the calibre of bangladesh or to an even extent ire land wont pick him for their respective test squads

 

[ahsan88]

Given out, wasted a review.

 

[NJamal]

Misbah comes to bat

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That is plumb.

it was clipping leg stump, hardly plumb

 

[AZ]

Rubbish shot selection.

 

[ahsan88]

I think the fact that he is trying to get his eye back in after a break has no importance, right?

He kinda struggled against Bishoo before the lunch break as well.

Captain is in the middle now.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Here comes the rock.

 

[Osman]

crook misbah comes in

 

[Afridi_Fan]

it was clipping leg stump, hardly plumb

Theek hai chacha jee.

 

[Rizz Khan]

Tuk Tuk Master In

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Look at that defense.

 

[SOSami]

Not sure what Taufeeq was thinking there. It didn't really move off the seam or swing.

Rubbish.

 

[AZ]

112.75 as captain! Wow!

 

[Ahson8]

Cricinfo: Misbah comes out to bat. And we thought the batting was slow until now...! Jokes apart, a fine player this man, and a superb captain. He's turned Pakistan's fortunes around in Tests. Three slips, captain to captain.

 

[Junior_Akmal]

"Misbah comes out to bat. And we thought the batting was slow until now...!" cricinfo at it's best

 

[ahsan88]

Look at that defense.

Rock solid

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Thank you WAPDA for reminding us that how blessed we are that we have light.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now I am in cricinfo's hands and PP's page for live update.

 

[AZ]

Maneuvred to leg side, skipper off the mark.

 

[ahsan88]

Misbah off the mark with a single

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Captain gets off the mark.

 

[cricfan4ever]

"Misbah comes out to bat. And we thought the batting was slow until now...!" cricinfo at it's best

what a gem! ) ) )

 

[AZ]

Ahhh, c'mon Azza! So many half-trackers he's hitting to the fielders.

Find the gaps

 

[AZ]

Misbah hanging back, living dangeously.

 

[cricfan4ever]

btw we are making Sammy look like reincarnated

 

[shaheer]

:umarakmal

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Misbah hanging back, living dangeously.

Nothing new in that.

 

[shaheer]

btw we are making Sammy look like :Asif reincarnated

Sammy is the new Asif OHHHH West Indies would be off their feet if this came true

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Misbah needs to slow down. He has already scored 2 runs.

 

[shaheer]

misbah gets a single what an achievement

 

[shaheer]

What is it these days with right-handed batsmen always looking to cut - with a horizontal bat off the back foot - the shortish length spin square on the offside? For me it's too dangerous a policy! In my opinion, the best players of spin - even that which is exaggerated by the pitch - skip out and play inside-out. I'm saying this because I think, whilst it is all well and good for the home spinner - Bishoo in this case - to have a bit of favour: it's never a true test a young spinner's capabilities."

 

[Fireworks11]

Need to lay the platform for Umar.

 

[ahsan88]

Plumb lbw is the captain.

 

[shaheer]

a fine player this man, and a superb captain. He's turned Pakistan's fortunes around in Tests.

 

[cricfan4ever]

hahaha Misbah gone...

 

[shaheer]

misnah gone

 

[shaheer]

think i jinxed him

 

[Looney]

Toffee is out ?
MISBAH IS GONE TOO WTH YEH KIA MAZAAQ HO RAHA HAI

 

[Inswinger]

HAnging back costs him.

 

[kkmix]

Misbah should've reviewed that.

 

[ahsan88]

That was dumb stuff by Misbah.

 

[SOSami]

Should have sent Umer Akmal in next to rough up Bishoo.

 

[thecricket]

we are done

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I asked him to slow down. See thats what happens when you play fast.

 

[shaheer]

bishoo gets mr baba misbah out as his first test victim take a bow bishoo you have moved an elephant off the crease

 

[cricfan4ever]

on a slow, low pitch, you have to bat on front foot!!! doesn't even take a genius to know that!

 

[Looney]

Where is Karachi Tiger Shafiq

edit - okay he is out there . both and will bat the whole day inshallah

 

[Fawad2010]

oh no...
