Bring back Asif and Amir

What would you guys rather have

157 for 3 like now?

or 160 for 6

I don't care about 3 No-Balls.

BRING THEM BACK.

If Asif and Amir were playing, Zimbabwe probably would have been bowled out by now.
 
Don't think the spinners will work to break this partnership, both are doing well against them.

:facepalm: Thats a silly stmnt, typical young fan with no patience
 
I actually cannot believe that Zimbabwe are 162/3 against us in a test match :(

:facepalm:
 
I do not understand how can Sohail Khan be selected , he has nothing in him to take wickets at this level, just a sheer waste
 
if we had batted first, at least there would be some entertainment...besides Ajmal & Adnan's comical commentary behind stumps it has been a dull day...such pitches totally kill the aura of test cricket!
 
During the practice match, I sent e-mails to some of the officials of Zimbabwe cricket requesting them to provide regular updates about tour match and test match.

Three days ago, media manager of Zimbabwe replied with just details of media session.

Should've played Yasir on this pitch.

Disappointed with your assessment of Cheema, looks the slowest of the three pacers.

junaid needs a good coach to work with him, I think Aquib would be good choice for bowling coach job.
 
Junaid much more confident today than he was against WI in odi series
 
sohail khan doesn't look threatening at all! maybe the pitch has somethin to do with it but still if you're goin to play international cricket .. you need to bowl over zimbabweans atleast!

There's nothing atleast about Zimbabweans. Since their return to test cricket they have shown much promise.

A pretty decent side they are and Pakistan hasn't helped its cause by fielding a second string team
 
There is no movement off the pitch or through the air. They have to get into cement-pitch mode and bowl fast and full, aiming for the block-hole.
 
Unattractive test match so far, to be fair. The flourish, sparkle and atmosphere seems to be missing from the game.
 
Unless Pakistan cause a big collapse here in last session then Misbahs decision to bowl 1st will look bad!
 
Sohail Khan looks like he's improved a lot to be honest, much better than his debut Test. Not his fault it's a pancake.

Would've been a good strategy if your bowlers have the pace. Not sure if these bowlers are quick enough to achieve results at a fuller length.


Junaid is bowling well though, hitting a good length and angling in. Keeping the pressure on.
 
Assalmualaikum guys, I'm a very ardent Pakistani fan and I just joined PP a few days ago. I've been reading your convo for the past days, and it makes me feel very well being in a Pakistani forum. I'm following this test match, and unfortunately Pakistan are playing very bad :(. I hope :junaid: gets some wickets!
 
Sohail Khan's bowling runup & action is so bad... No rhythm whatsoever... A perfect example of why fast bowlers should avoid putting mass via body building...

Not surprised they are putting up a fight. But Pakistan will eventually be too strong.

And I said long time sohail khan isn't a test standard bowler.

That's true. Junaid looks faster than Sohail, though. Fielders seem sharp as well.

They need a couple of wickets here soon. Maybe get YK to bowl a bit.
 
Truth is we need to get 2 more wickets before the score hits 250..anything below 300 on this pitch will be poor..
 
Pakistan need someone to bowl a dream spell here and knock down a few with Malinga like yorkers.

His runup looks pretty smooth now, in his first Test he was all over the place. Has improved a lot imo.
 
Sohail Khan and Cheema need to show a little more patience here with lines and lengths. Test cricket is miles harder then domestic cricket in pakistan where at times u can just run up and bowl and take wickets.
 
Ohh Woow!!!

Just checked the score and I thought Pak would have bundled out Poor Zimbo by now...

Guess I am wrong about Zimbo's talent...

Pak should get Zimbo all out by 250. Anything over 300, Zimbo will be in driver's seat. You cannot trust Pak batting that much :nehra

Should have picked two spinners, This has been a complete failure on the part of misbah and co.
 
Misbah's field placements aren't bad though. No easy runs here :ibutt
