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

[shahrukh619]

LOL even posters like CT have confused CHeema for Sohail Khan.

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid should be given the ball now both of them are average...

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

Lol, we want wickets from ball 1

when u put opposition in then you can expect wickets.

 

[shahrukh619]

Comentator change will come after 10 overs or 15

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

LOL even posters like CT have confused CHeema for Sohail Khan.

not really both suck 2 b honest
but cheema is parveen kumar version in pk

 

[Atif]

Maiden 29/0

 

[Bullet Drive]

Flat pitch ! Rameez on.

 

[shahrukh619]

COme on people yo ucan't expect wickets started to fall already. Lets not forget Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh.

 

[hur rizvi]

What a bad decision by Misbah to bowl first.... This pitch is a real flat one

 

[Atif]

when u put opposition in then you can expect wickets.

You should when especially when the captain chooses to bowl first.

 

[Down2Earth]

well bowled sohail ermmm cheema

 

[Maher96]

commi says perfect batting day???

why bowl man. when you have such a weak bowling attack? mibsah wants to demoralize his new bowlers.

 

[shahrukh619]

Cheema is doing good, whats wrong with you guys????

Good line and length

 

[Atif]

Meanwhile Sri Lanka are in tatters against Aus. 100/8

 

[MMHS]

This must be from thick head Waquar. Why on earth with this batting lineup someone would like to bowl first? If Zim posts anything over 300, what Taylor 'll do is bowling continuously with Price at one end & block the free boundary hitting by very ill-tempered Pak batsmen. This is a slow wicket & chasing on 4th innings 'll be difficult. Similar situation was the first Test against WI.

Waquar's thinking is always restricted as a bowler & he is in the mind set of using the so called early moisture & get opposition down to 74/4 by lunch, instead of seeing the first hour & put 400+ batting first. Had Pakistan batted first, I can't even imagine that Zim would have restricted them to a lower than 100, 4th innings target. Anything over 150 would have been sufficient for Ajmal & who knows, a 4th innings target of anything over 200 might be sufficient for Zim now. Let's see.

Misbah may have read the wicket wrong..

 

[Hando]

Just bring on junaid

 

[shahrukh619]

YES RAMEEZ RAJA

 

[hur rizvi]

Cheema is certainly very slow

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Misbah may have read the wicket wrong..

Misbah always read the match and wicket wrong.

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Better from Sohail

 

[Atif]

Atleast the boundaries have dried up..

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Misbah always read the match and wicket wrong.

[NJamal]

Zimbabwe are stuck on 29 runs

 

[hur rizvi]

Better from Sohail

Oh Bhai this is Aizaz cheema.... Sohail khanis bowling from other end

 

[Atif]

Cheema is certainly very slow

Pace is not everything.

 

[shahrukh619]

Come one Sohail khan bowl AS BAD as you can, so taht fans would want Tanvir In

 

[Atif]

Zimbabwe are stuck on 29 runs

Hopefully one of the batsmen will play a rash shot.

 

[Law]

why can't we see bowling speeds?

 

[shahrukh619]

Bring in Younis Khan, bowls really good

 

[talha3]

Finally some control. But still no wicket.

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Oh Bhai this is Aizaz cheema.... Sohail khanis bowling from other end

the bowler bowling the 7th over is Sohail Khan

 

[cricfan4ever]

last 3 overs have been much, much better...but we need penetrative bowling, wickets falling!!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Sarfaraz nawaz was right Talha is better than both cheema and Sohail khan

 

[Amjid Javed]

Half hour into game and people already moaning!

just watch the game and see what happens ffs!

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

why can't we see bowling speeds?

home board have to pay

 

[Law]

Junaid into the attack!

 

[NJamal]

Another maiden by Cheema- 29/0

 

[Atif]

Another maiden 29/0

 

[ahsan88]

[Bullet Drive]

[hur rizvi]

[NJamal]

[Atif]

Half hour into game and people already moaning!

Lol typical Pakistan fans, what do you expect ?

 

[Law]

home board have to pay

Yar ye kya chakkar hai. Wanted to see speeds

 

[Atif]

Junaid is into the attack.

 

[ahsan88]

Woaaah, good first ball by Juni.

 

[shahrukh619]

Adnan doing some good keeping.

 

[NJamal]

Misbah is such a coward Captain.

 

[Amjid Javed]

On dry wickets like this we need to attack the stumps, also am sure we should see reverse swing later on.

 

[hur rizvi]

Bit of in-swing here for junaid but just off line

 

[Law]

Did junaid just bring the ball back in ??

 

[Bullet Drive]

He has inswing.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I hope when we come to bat we bat well in 1st inns as we usually are pretty poor at times in that aspect!

 

[Atif]

Ok Cheema is still bowling, not Junaid

 

[shahrukh619]

Adnan Akmal is the middle child right? Non wonder why he was ignored by the selectors.

 

[NJamal]

Pakistan will dearly miss Gulla here.

 

[shahrukh619]

Misbah is such a coward Captain.

Don't mix afridi with Misbah

 

[talha3]

Well junaid did get 2 right handers lbw so im sure he can bring it back in a touch.

 

[Atif]

Pakistan will dearly miss Gulla here.

dont forget about Wahab.

 

[IAJ]

"Sid bowling speeds plz. Dont you know how crazy we pakistanis are about pace?" Bholoo, I can't give you exact pace because there doesn't seem to be a speed gun, but I can tell you this seems more like an Indian attack! Mu guess is they are bowling 125 and 135 kph

What!!v are they not bowling faster than 135 kph??? I thought these were 145+ bowlers!

 

[shahrukh619]

people really need to chill. This is test cricket not odi yar. Wickets won't fall easily.

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid has decent pace and Rameez and Mbangwa are making him look a slow medium pacer

 

[hur rizvi]

Good start by Juni

 

[shahrukh619]

BTW Can you review LBW???????

 

[NJamal]

30/0

 

[cricfan4ever]

good first over from Junaid, seems to be bringing the ball back in slightly which is a positive sign

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely over by Junaid.

 

[ahsan88]

TBH, Sohail looked the fastest out of the 3 so far.

 

[shahrukh619]

Sohail Khan 8 runs ) )

OMg they are going to get Cheema drop cause of mixing his stats with Sohail Khan

 

[NJamal]

Don't mix afridi with Misbah

Afridi is everything but not coward.

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

people really need to chill. This is test cricket not odi yar. Wickets won't fall easily.

tell that 2 your khaptaan mis ul bakwas

 

[ahsan88]

Rameez says, Pakistan got it wrong by bowling first.

 

[NJamal]

Tariq is fuming. he writes in, "Worst Captaincy by Misbah... Winning toss on a flat batting track and asking Zimbabwe to bat 1st...How Much Defensive can u get than this?... Were they afraid of being Bowled out cheaply by Zimbabwe bowling line up?"

Cricinfo

 

[shahrukh619]

Nice bowling by cheema.

 

[hur rizvi]

Aizaz goes to wide off the stumps in his delivery stride...

 

[ElRaja]

if i was guessin speeds pbly 82, 83 mph average, no out and out fast ball yet, which is a shame, i was expecting more from sohail especially.

 

[IAJ]

What speeds are they bowling at? Anyone?

 

[shahrukh619]

tell that 2 your khaptaan mis ul bakwas

Ok i think you shouldn't do that. Don't start stupid name calling.

If you don't like it, then plz don't watch this game.
