Just woke up to check the score. I'm glad Zimbabwe have been competitive. It's always hard to play mystery spinners the first time - Ajmal, Mendis, Murali- but the scorecard suggests they've been solid otherwise. I haven't seen most of today - what do you guys think, have Zimbabwe looked a professional outfit? Or has this been one of Pakistan's "lose to Bangladesh" and play crap days?
 
This is one slow innings by mawoyo. How many balls did the slowest century in tests take?
 
Why has Saeed Ajmal changed his action? Looks like he's been watching to many Mushtaq Ahmed clips.

Mudassar Nazar, 1st Test vs England, 1977, Lahore... 557 min. :misbah

Mudassar, the 21-year-old son of former Test opener Nazar Mohammad, now Pakistan national coach, completed his century in nine hours seventeen minutes - twelve minutes slower than the previous record by D.J. McGlew for South Africa against Australia in the 1957-58 series.

In all, Mudassar batted nine minutes under ten hours for 114, with three of his twelve 4s arriving after his century. Used as the sheet anchor, Mudassar displayed remarkable concentration and unwavering resolve, and played his elected role to perfection.

This is fun :))


All because of Misbah's decision to bat first!


Even if we got out for 200, it would have put doubts in Zim's minds to the nature of the pitch.

Suicidal decision!
 
I don't understand why Gul and Riaz are being rested. They need match practice. Sohail Khan is not a test bowler. He is a good limited overs bowler. Aizaz Cheema shouldn't be in the side.
