Zimbabwe v Pakistan | One-Off Test | Bulawayo | 2/9/11 | Day 2

[Savak]

Looks like a pitch where the ball is keeping low, up and down, our batsmen need to be careful.

 

[NJamal]

Zimbabwe 150 short imho.

You are too hopeful of our crap batting my friend.

 

[JibranAnsari]

and suddenly cheema is our best bowler of the innings

 

[Bullet Drive]

Can't wait for some lovely Hafeez strokes.

 

[MRSN]

What time will pakistan bat and for how long?

in about 15 minutes and God knows how long

 

[imshally81]

Tea ....

 

[Square Drive]

What time will pakistan bat and for how long?

Pakistan will bat for about 27 overs today. Hopefully if they can get around 100 with 1 or 0 wickets down...

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan will do good to make 300 here. Lamb and price + vetori = destruction

 

[Looney]

What time will pakistan bat and for how long?

after tea

and it can be over before you know it

 

[Sledger]

Taufeeq can play 400+ balls for 100 too. Plus, anything Mawoyo can do, Prof can do better.

 

[Bullet Drive]

come on pak.

 

[Sledger]

What time will pakistan bat and for how long?

After tea.

3 days and one session.

 

[Poison]

Taufeeq can play 400+ balls for 100 too. Plus, anything Mawoyo can do, Prof can do phaaaster.

fixed

 

[Square Drive]

If Pakistan can score 600, then they have a chance of winning. If Zimbabwe keep Pakistan under 300, then Zimbabwe have a chance of winning. but if Pakistan get all out between 350-450, then a draw is on the cards.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Taufeeq can play 400+ balls for 100 too. Plus, anything Mawoyo can do, Prof can do better.

prof has a habit of flushing everything after making 30 runs

 

[Asif321]

Now intresting .. to see how will Pak bat
:umarakmal

 

[Seen Sheen]

I want our batsmen to just bat till the Zim players beg them to stop.


Should've been a timeless test match.

 

[Legend Killer]

A double century for the professor is coming up, you can count on it

 

[NJamal]

Misbah should bat at 6 and Umar at 4 if Pakistan want to win this one.

 

[Looney]

)

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Misbah should bat at 6 and Umar at 4 if Pakistan want to win this one.

Misbah shouldnt bat at all

 

[malakian]

What channel guys?

 

[RehanG]

get 600; let zimbabwe bat on last day u might bowl them then out (with spining pitch ect) for less then 200 and then pakistan need to chase some quick 50-60 odd!

 

[NJamal]

A double century for the professor is coming up, you can count on it

40 me thinks.

 

[MRSN]

I want our batsmen to just bat till the Zim players beg them to stop.

yeah we MUST take revenge if we can...

 

[sarmadsl]

lol hope that any one of the openers will get a centuru

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan should bat for 270 overs with a runrate of 2. Would be awesome

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

lol hope that any one of the openers will get a centuru

hafeez for sure will get a 100

 

[MRSN]

A double century for the professor is coming up, you can count on it

he can't cross 60 run mark man, get it

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

get 600; let zimbabwe bat on last day u might bowl them then out (with spining pitch ect) for less then 200 and then pakistan need to chase some quick 50-60 odd!

600 at healthy run rate which isnt possible by having misbah in the team.

 

[Sledger]

Zimbabwe are well short. This is a 600 pitch.

Younis might get another triple.

 

[cricfan4ever]

if we bat with a good RR till lunch on Day 4, we'll get 600 which would put the pressure back on Zimbabwe...we'll be in a position to win than so all that is required is good, positive batting from our batsmen...none of the defensive stuff please!

 

[JibranAnsari]

The pitch has started showing bounce variation which could be a trouble on a slow pitch.

 

[duostyle]

Lol, I like how we're all expecting 600+

A collapse coming? Hope not.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

he can't cross 60 run mark man, get it

well today he will and he will score a century if not double century

 

[mithun_minhas]

Cheema haters disappeared.

Best Pak bowler in this innings

 

[NJamal]

People here are underestimating the Zimbabwean bowlers.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So looks like pakistan will have to bat 29 overs - pretty much 1 full session tonight!

 

[JibranAnsari]

do not overexpect from our batting. 300-350 is a realistic approach. Their bowling is pretty good with a balanced attack.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Cheema haters disappeared.

Best Pak bowler in this innings

stats are misleading, Ajmal was the best bowler by a country mile.

 

[Poison]

The pitch has started showing bounce variation which could be a trouble on a slow pitch.

Yeah that last ball scared me

 

[JibranAnsari]

Cheema haters disappeared.

Best Pak bowler in this innings

yah good in the end but rubbish for most part of the innings. One thing is for sure that reverse swing is the art which is natural in even the most rubbish pakistan fast bowlers

 

[Amjid Javed]

Can whole Pakistan inns last longer then mayowos whole Inns?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Back

 

[Legend Killer]

he can't cross 60 run mark man, get it

Just watch, today is the professor's day expect at least a 200 from him

 

[mithun_minhas]

I am surprised that this Zimbabwe batting lineup made of unknowns managed to score over 400.

Don't know if it is the god batting or bad bowling... I thought Pak would bundle this team out for around 320 at the end of 1st days play

 

[Bullet Drive]

Can whole Pakistan inns last longer then mayowos whole Inns?

No, pak will go quicker.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can whole Pakistan inns last longer then mayowos whole Inns?

good question , depends a lot on misbah's 'dropping anchor' skills.

 

[bilawal666]

Pakistani bowlers have a knack of picking up 5fers on debut.

 

[Poison]

I can almost guarantee Vitori will get Taufeeq lbw.

 

[Legend Killer]

Cheema haters disappeared.

Best Pak bowler in this innings

Don't think there were any Cheema "haters", people criticized Cheema and rightly so because he didn't look that good on the first day that doesn't make them a hater

 

[bilawal666]

If cheema gets a wicket in the 2nd innings, will it be considered a 5fer?

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Hopefully we go through to stumps only 1 or 2 down maximum.

7th time Taufiq and Hafeez are opening up together in a row. Good to see selectors showing some continuity.

Should bat at least 5 sessions.

A win is not out of the question.

I just hope we don't lose this at any cost.

Zimbabwe have some good bowlers.

yah I thought the same but do not have the luxury of gul riaz or tanvir.( courtesy aap sabko pyaara PCB)

 

[Bullet Drive]

Inshallah Azhar Ali gets his maiden TEST TON.

 

[NJamal]

First target for Pakistan should be to avoid follow on.

 

[JibranAnsari]

If cheema gets a wicket in the 2nd innings, will it be considered a 5fer?

No, its only 5fer if you take it in an innings

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Collapses are never out of the question but remember Pakistan has scored 400+ against the South African attack. Bowling: South Africa >>> Zimbabwe. devilliers

 

[duostyle]

in b4 jarvis and vitori to run through our batting lineup.

First ball coming up.

 

[Sledger]

Hmm, that last ball really didn't bounce.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Pakistan.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan zindabad!

 

[NJamal]

Vitori to open the bowling

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

hafeez on strike

 

[NJamal]

Hafeez off the mark with a couple.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Real talent.

 

[Sledger]

2 first ball.

 

[MRSN]

straight away off the mark Professor

 

[hur rizvi]

Inswing for Vitori

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

2 runs

 

[mithun_minhas]

Good start for Pak. 2 runs on the board.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Haha, flat as a road. 600+

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

vitori bowling

 

[Bullet Drive]

Easy.

 

[imshally81]

welcome back

 

[Bullet Drive]

600+ watch.

 

[shahrukh619]

as soon as a wicket falls, i'm off to sleep/

 

[Hasnain_786]

1st ball RR of 12

 

[Sledger]

A bit of movement back.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

If cheema gets a wicket in the 2nd innings, will it be considered a 5fer?

Are you watching cricket for the first time?
