307/5

 

[Shaan]

[JibranAnsari]

ya Allah barish ho jaye ya mowoyo ko kharish ho jaye

 

[uzleo]

adnan keeping not UP to the mark i feel!!!

 

[Shaan]

come on put some part timer to bowl for a change !!

 

[JibranAnsari]

7 minutes to lunch

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bangladesh bowled better than us

 

[Shaan]

Bangladesh bowled better than us

that's complement bro, but your guys are much quicker, only need some smart deliveries and smart captaincy !!

[Ashraful_Rox]

Can't really blame the bowlers, this is one of the flattest pitch ever, nothing in it for them. Unsung hero really made a terrible decision.

 

[NJamal]

312/5

 

[Shaan]

any slow medium pacer in the team ?? probably that can help, This Zimbabwean have practiced in South Africa recently so they are quite familiar with the quickies..

 

[NJamal]

Can't really blame the bowlers, this is one of the flattest pitch ever, nothing in it for them. Unsung hero really made a terrible decision.

Wait for the Pakistani innings and you will see the same pitch turning into a mine field.

We wants an unsung simile

 

[JibranAnsari]

where did you play your test? bulawayo or harare?

 

[AlizeeFan]

Pakistan gonna lose this match. There are two spinners in Zimbabwe team and both are good. And remember one of them Ray Price is the nemesis left arm spinner of Pakistani batsmen.

It will be a draw.

can bat for three days here.

 

[NJamal]

314/5 at Lunch Day 2. Zimbabwe in driving seat.

 

[OZGOD]

Mawayo 83 away from his double ton

 

[Down2Earth]

mohsin khan should resign if we don't win this test

 

[Shaan]

where did you play your test? bulawayo or harare?

this and cost us the lost

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can't really blame the bowlers, this is one of the flattest pitch ever, nothing in it for them. Unsung hero really made a terrible decision.

it looked a bowling pitch if you had seen in the toss morning. Some green on it. It flattened out in like half an hour. Really can't blame tuk tuk here

 

[NJamal]

It will be a draw.

can bat for three days here.

Can't see him saving this one. Zimbabwe's bowlers are not that crap.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another zimbabwe session. 69 runs and 1 wkt

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

where did you play your test? bulawayo or harare?

Bangladesh played at Harare.

 

[shahrukh619]

just came back, and damn....... let's just say Zimbabwe is just to strong

 

[Bilal.Shuja]

if you are an fielding coach just close your eyes . do you guys remember that yesterday dropped catch

 

[Shaan]

This pitch is really flat, it is going to be a draw match I reckon !!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Common guys be positive, Pakistan are yet to bat and unsung hero alone can play 300 balls and score his ton, a Draw will be a good result.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah needs to give the ball to after lunch...

 

[Poison]

Game is going to be a draw. Zimbabwe will not play shots on this placid wicket and therefore will not get out. They're playing way too slowly to get a result.

 

[cricfan4ever]

and to think unsung 'hero' was being defended for his woeful decision to bowl first

 

[Watsupdoc]

If this match is a draw we lose points don't we? And Zimbabwe gains point in that case?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

But need to give credit to Zimbabwe, they have been practicing well for Test cricket, they've played against a strong South Africa A and Australia A, got Heath as their bowling Coach and Grant as their batting. Zimbabwe is a strong Test team at the moment. Their batsmen have better temperament than Bangladeshi batsmen, no doubt, also well determined.

 

[shahrukh619]

If this match is a draw we lose points don't we? And Zimbabwe gains point in that case?

we don't actaully. This is a no point game, cause ZImbabwe is unraked. So no worries

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pakistan should have played Sohail Tanvir...

 

[Watsupdoc]

we don't actaully. This is a no point game, cause Imbabwe is unraked. So no worries

Ah k then lets go for a draw! Cause that's the only thing we can do

 

[Bilal.Shuja]

if this game draw it will probably clear that Zimbabwe is much better then Pakistan .

 

[shahrukh619]

Pakistan should have played Sohail Tanvir...

But according to some other people Sohail Khan is much betternvir

 

[NJamal]

Will we see Pakistan bat today or not?

 

[shahrukh619]

Will we see Pakistan bat today or not?

Not unless Tino Mawayo scores a 200 in 200 overs, because they would eventually declare

 

[Watsupdoc]

But according to some other people Sohail Khan is much betternvir

But Zim wouldn't have understand his action and would have been bundled out on 150

 

[Watsupdoc]

Oh and for captain in the next test match

 

[Watsupdoc]

Will we see Pakistan bat today or not?

We won't see Pakistan bat at all in this test

 

[Bilal.Shuja]

Mawayo 2nd form of

 

[Watsupdoc]

We need do dance on the wicket here

 

[Amjid Javed]

Zimbos might even get 500 here and then Pakistan really are in trouble!

Weve been humilated before by Zimbos!

 

[MRSN]

If this game gets draw, will you as Pakistani fan take it?

 

[MRSN]

Mawayo 2nd form of

totally

 

[ads101]

If we lose or draw this, how many ranking points do we lose?

 

[shahrukh619]

No points gain wather we win or not, because Zimbabwe is unranked.

 

[cricfan4ever]

if we lose this match, we should be stripped of our test status plain and simple...

 

[CricketBuff]

Apparently there is no hope or future for Pak cricket !!

 

[IAJ]

I haven't watched a single live ball in this match as I have been working, but looking at the scorecard this is depressing, really depressing.

I'm kind of looking more forward to England-India match tomorrow so England can make it 6-0

 

[ads101]

No points gain wather we win or not, because Zimbabwe is unranked.

ah that's good I guess. I was expecting a drop of twenty or something because Zimbabwe have zero points at the moment, imagine the outburst among pak fans if that happened )

 

[shahrukh619]

lol people need to calm down. Even England lose to Ireland in a world cup odi game.

 

[Asif321]

This a Captains Toss decision that has ruined this game for Pak
and that useless vicky always fighting for team selection
:cheema

 

[Watsupdoc]

If this game gets draw, will you as Pakistani fan take it?

Yup cause Zimbo would have earned that draw...

 

[MRSN]

I will be very disappointed if we don't score 500 on this track.

 

[shahrukh619]

I will be very disappointed if we don't score 500 on this track.

loll, by day 3 pitches would most likly be bowling friendly.

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Zimbabwe Tests are still legitimate Tests. Surely they must count for something somewhere down the line, even if Zim has no points right now? Obviously Zim has no ranking points because they've only played one full Test in the last five years.

 

[shahrukh619]

play return

 

[MRSN]

loll, by day 3 pitches would most likly be bowling friendly.

forget it, this wicket will remain dead flat for five days.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We should win.

 

[shahrukh619]

azhar ali )

 

[Bullet Drive]

finally azhar.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YES! hes a good bowller.

 

[akheR]

Azhar Ali, our prime Test strike-bowler.

 

[Bullet Drive]

smashed ))

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan all set to be humiliated.

 

[ads101]

We should win.

Can't see how we can now. Not trying to be negative.

Zimbabwe will continue to bat for the whole day, get over 400. They might declare/bowled out after that. It'll take us about 2 days if we go at a better run rate than Zimbabwe to chase that and add 100 or so. It's high on impossible that we can set enough of a lead with the time remaining and have time to bundle Zimbabwe out. Especially on this flat pitch.

And of course chasing over 400 is daunting against any attack.

We should draw this, win's not on the table anymore sadly courtesy of some very good Zimb batting.

 

[WalkingWiggett]

turns his arm over! Surprise!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Will he keep Azhar on?

 

[cricfan4ever]

man this is excruciating to watch

 

[Watsupdoc]

Finally something different from

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar getting a lot of turn.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bring on!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

give umar akmal some overs , some fun cricket now.

 

[Watsupdoc]

cricinfo: A pun, since we love them. TimTowTdi: "Pakistan are getting a Mayo-Lamb sandwich treat!" Not sure this is what Pakistan will call a treat.
