Zimbabwe v Pakistan | One-Off Test | Bulawayo | 1/9/11 | Day 1

[iZaman]

Rofl, Hafeez with new ball..
GG

 

[Square Drive]

Khush NJamal? Chacha Misbah ne new ball le liya

 

[akheR]

New ball taken for...



Hafeez.

 

[Sledger]

This bowling "attack" puts even India's to shame

lol, let's not go too far now.

 

[duostyle]

Thinking outside the box.

 

[ahsan88]

Why has Saeed Ajmal changed his action? Looks like he's been watching to many Mushtaq Ahmed clips.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[NJamal]

by Ervine

 

[NJamal]

236/4

 

[Seen Sheen]

Disgraceful effort from Sohail, kept running with the ball instead of diving.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Poor effort by the fielder again for

 

[NJamal]

Junaid Khan to share the new ball.

 

[violet_may]

Junaid in. Please take a wicket.

 

[MVP26]

:4

 

[NJamal]

Good pace by Junaid

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good delivery from Junaid.

 

[mithun_minhas]

lol, let's not go too far now.

Actually except for Ajmal and to some extent Junaid Khan, rest are mediocre....

Ajmal = Praveen Kumar

Junaid Khan = Ishant Sharma in spurts....

Sohail Khan = RP Singh

Hafeez = Raina

Comparison is kind of apt

 

[Seen Sheen]

Ooh, ball coming in a bit off the seam.

 

[MVP26]

junaid is the only pacer that has looked like taking a wicket

 

[Sledger]

Seamed back, only a fraction.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like a very good day for zimbo and Misbahs decision to bowl 1st looks a bad one now.

 

[talha3]

junaid has looked the most likely to get a wicket out of the pacemen

 

[NJamal]

Maiden by Junaid- 236/4

 

[Seen Sheen]

:adnan good glovework.

 

[Strike!]

Nicely saved by :adnan

 

[usmiunique]

Actually except for Ajmal and to some extent Junaid Khan, rest are mediocre....

Ajmal = Praveen Kumar

Junaid Khan = Ishant Sharma in spurts....

Sohail Khan = RP Singh

Hafeez = Raina

Comparison is kind of apt

Sorry but it us not at all apt... Give them the swinging and seaming conditions they faced in England... And then compare...

 

[mithun_minhas]

Last 10 Overs 41/0.

Nice going from Zimbo.

 

[Sledger]

Actually except for Ajmal and to some extent Junaid Khan, rest are mediocre....

Ajmal = Praveen Kumar

Junaid Khan = Ishant Sharma in spurts....

Sohail Khan = RP Singh

Hafeez = Raina

Comparison is kind of apt

Ajmal = Praveen Kumar? Pace wise maybe, not much else.

Junaid Khan = Ishant.

Sohail >>>> RP

Hafeez >>> Raina.

I'm guessing you aren't watching the match though, else you'd have realised India's attack had seaming conditions to work with and these.. well, are not. LOL.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Actually except for Ajmal and to some extent Junaid Khan, rest are mediocre....

Ajmal = Praveen Kumar

Junaid Khan = Ishant Sharma in spurts....

Sohail Khan = RP Singh

Hafeez = Raina

Comparison is kind of apt

Compare ajmal to the official spinner, Mishra/Harbhajan. I'd take Ajmal over either .As for the rest, well...

 

[mithun_minhas]

Sorry but it us not at all apt... Give them the swinging and seaming conditions they faced in England... And then compare...

I agree.

But you Pak are also bowling at Zimbabwe and not England.

 

[akheR]

Junaid Khan = Ishant Sharma in spurts....

Sohail Khan = RP Singh

Hafeez = Raina

Comparison is kind of apt

And they all played in English conditions.

Can't think of worse than RP Singh to be honest. :nj

 

[hur rizvi]

Bangladesh's bowlers did better than these crap bowlers

 

[Square Drive]

I agree.

But you Pak are also bowling at Zimbabwe and not England.

At Zimbabwe's home ground in batting conditions... That too, with our 3rd string bowlers.

 

[Hando]

Waqar taking notes or just doodling

 

[Square Drive]

If pakistan manage to get a wicket today, I will eat my pants.

 

[NJamal]

Hope Junaid takes a couple of wickets,

 

[Poison]

No swing, no lateral movement, seems like they're playing on concrete. Azhar Ali might finally get that 100 here.

 

[NJamal]

another Maiden

 

[duostyle]

If pakistan manage to get a wicket today, I will eat my pants.

You've been constantly looking for excuses to eat your clothes today...

 

[talha3]

Almost forgot about that dropped catch off Mowoyo

 

[Theo_14]

Zimb showing great spirit and determination here. A very good contest so far... Exactly what the neutral fans wanted to see.

 

[akheR]

Another maiden by Junaid Khan.

 

[mithun_minhas]

At Zimbabwe's home ground in batting conditions... That too, with our 3rd string bowlers.

Similar to what you find in subcontinent

Where is the reverse swing with old ball and where are the yorkers?

This is similar to Indian attack. Pace bowlers don't reverse swing or bowl yorkers...

Absence of Riaz is being felt here.

 

[NJamal]

Sohail Khan back

 

[MVP26]

Almost forgot about that dropped catch off Mowoyo

who dropped it :kami

Gul and Wahab both.

 

[attock]

Salaam all, what has been the pace of our bowlers....

 

[NJamal]

who dropped it :kami

The man who is bowling now.

 

[srh]

should have selected Yasir Shah instead of Sohail Khan

 

[Square Drive]

You've been constantly looking for excuses to eat your clothes today...

Hehe, I'm still gonna be in my underwear though.
Or will I?

 

[talha3]

who dropped it :kami

Sohail Khan. It was an easy catch. You would expect to catch that at village level 9 times out of 10.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Gul and Wahab both.

Gul is not the same bowler anymore. He seems to have lost it in the recent past.

Wahab RIaz is a terrific bowler

 

[iZaman]

Why cant they bowl Yorkers

 

[Square Drive]

Give Younis the last over I say.

 

[NJamal]

Fourth maiden in a row.

 

[Strike!]

Sohail Khan's bowling is really ugly.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pak should look to get these Zimbo batsmen for under 300. Otherwise this game is a draw for sure.

 

[Square Drive]

Who knows? We might even lose... ( I hope not)

 

[MVP26]

why did they select sohail khan and cheema? they have looked.really bad out there

 

[Seen Sheen]

Why cant they bowl Yorkers

They are not bowling in the death. Stop this obsession with yorkers ffs.

 

[Square Drive]

But at least try! ^

 

[Square Drive]

3 overs remaining in Day 1, Zimbos 236/4

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

5 maidens in a row

 

[MVP26]

Who knows? We might even lose... ( I hope not)

stay positive

 

[akheR]

3 overs left...


At least 1 wicket guys.

 

[NJamal]

Zimbabwe's batsmen are building some nice partnerships

 

[NJamal]

by Ervine

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

rubbish ball

 

[Square Drive]

5 maidens in a row

But we want wickets. Maidens will just lead to a draw.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Short - Wide -

 

[Strike!]

What a terrible, terrible bowler.

 

[MVP26]

just get rid of this pair

 

[NJamal]

241/4

 

[Square Drive]

Misbah, please give it to Younis now!

 

[NJamal]

Just 2 overs left

 

[mithun_minhas]

Are there even 50 people at the Ground?

Test Cricket FAIL in Zimbabwe

 

[Square Drive]

Beaten!

 

[Square Drive]

Beaten again!

 

[Square Drive]

Beaten once again!!!!

 

[NJamal]

Junaid beating the bat of Ervine consistently

 

[Seen Sheen]

Unlucky .
