[amarali]

TOss............

 

[Atif]

Toss in about ten mins time.

 

[Bullet Drive]

TOss............

9am In about half an hour, captains of Zimbabwe and Pakistan will walk out for the toss. That in itself is a reassuring sight, that these two sides are playing Test cricket, despite what all has gone on in the countries, with their cricket administrations, with their talent. Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the only Test between Zimbabwe and Pakistan

 

[Sakss]

there was already a thread for this

 

[Phool]

Very excited about the match

 

[Sakss]

Pakistan's 17-man squad surprisingly includes nine players who have played 24 Tests between them. Four of them are uncapped

 

[Atif]

[Bullet Drive]

[Atif]

How the hell can you have a LEGAL stream?

[Atif]

Is Geo super showing this ? Might have to do a search in google

 

[Bullet Drive]

They aren't gonna show it online otherwise that'll take away the whole concept of subscribing on TV.

 

[Asif321]

[Atif]

They aren't gonna show it online otherwise that'll take away the whole concept of subscribing on TV.

[Bullet Drive]

Then why are there pay per view streams available ? Are you saying they are illegal ?

[shahrukh619]

Pakistan won the toss and arebowling first

 

[kingusama92]

Bowling first.

 

[kingusama92]

Any information on the final XI?

 

[Atif]

Surpurising decision by Misbah, I'm guessing the pitch may something in it for the bowlers.

 

[WiiiCKET]

What a shocking decision, don't know what Misbah was thinking. Lets wait for the start of the match to see if he is right or wrong.

 

[MRSN]

nothing on Ten Sports so far

 

[Bilal.Shuja]

Yes , really surprising decision .

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan bowling first, poor decision as I heard its a batting paradise!

 

[Atif]

Yes I am.

& toss is soon, its a lovely day in Bulla wareva.

Lol you need to do some research...

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan have won the toss and they elect to bowl first in Test match against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo

 

[cricfan4ever]

@ Misbah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah will be in the starting XI, CONFIRMED!

 

[Asif321]

nothing on Ten Sports so far

Coverage will start in 10 mins

 

[Down2Earth]

good decision to bowl first, going for a draw already

 

[Eht]

Any team news?

 

[talha3]

We are in sunny Bulawayo as opposed to the seamer-friendly Harare

Let's see what happens before we judge Misbah's decision.

 

[kingusama92]

Bowling first is risky, but I haven't seen the pitch.

Might be a complete minefield.

 

[Obeid]

Um is this an exceptional circumstance for posting links because we don't get Ten Sports in USA or UK or really anywhere but Pakistan?

 

[Down2Earth]

my stream's showing wwe

 

[cricfan4ever]

my stream's showing wwe

lol mine as well

 

[12cavalry]

Ten Sports is still showing the Aus-Sri match.

 

[Amjid Javed]

If there is anything in thw wicket it will be early on. some grass covering should assist the pakistan seamers.

Such decisions are justified only if we bowl zimbos out on day 1 then Misbahs made the right decision.

 

[talha3]

Um is this an exceptional circumstance for posting links because we don't get Ten Sports in USA or UK or really anywhere but Pakistan?

Yea, surely mods can allow exceptions here.

[Atif]

No Farhat wooohooo

 

[cricfan4ever]

when you win the toss you should always look to put scoreboard pressure on by batting first unless the pitch is completely green with overcast conditions!!!!!!

this is why Misbah pisses me off so much!!!

just look at Michael Clarke, he chose to bat first despite spin conditions at Galle!!!

 

[talha3]

good starting XI

Mohammad Hafeez, Taufeeq Umar, Azhar Ali, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Adnan Akmal, Junaid Khan, Sohail Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Aizaz Cheema

so only the one spinner with hafeez as a part timer? this may cost us. yasir shah and ajmal would have destroyed them. oh well.
