Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 1st Test | Harare | 03/09/2013 | Day 1

[asif9138]

tea break. 156

 

[saiyan0312]

Tea... session gifted to zimbabwe.

 

[Asif321]

kya yaar maza nhi araha

 

[Ims1]

Turn on offer . PK will win this easily .

 

[ViciousMachine]

Need a good final session to take back control somehow.

 

[Executioner]

It will be safe to say that Zimbabwe are favourites at this point of time.

However, knowing how good Pakistan's bowling is and how mediocre Zimbabwe batting lineup sans Taylor is against spin tomorrow will be the most important day of the match.

 

[Sledger]

Need to get to 200 and take it from there.

 

[Sam18696]

Pak will win if they score atleast 200 Zim will crumble before their bowling

 

[Bilal7]

Lets hope these two can score a hundred more runs together atleast. We can also squeeze out a 40-odd from the tail I hope.

 

[Convict]

Zimbabwe are going to struggle with the bat- especially with out Taylor and Williams.

 

[IAJ]

I missed a session here, went to sleep literally speaking hoping for a score of 160/3 coming back but disappointing to see 156/5. but we can still make 250+

 

[Sledger]

Adnan beaten again.

 

[IAJ]

kya yaar maza nhi araha

Billi mazey laite truck key neechey agai thi, isliye itne mazey nahi letey

 

[Sledger]

Akmal bowled, dear oh dear.

 

[Sledger]

157/6, ridiculously long tail and this is what happens.

 

[saiyan0312]

inside edge.... horrible technique....

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Another Joker gets out........ ............. :adnan

 

[dhump]

is it a no Ball ?

 

[Asif321]

and people said adnan would have done well against southafrica
cant play zimos

 

[Haroon786]

In big trouble now, Azhar needs to accelerate.

 

[saiyan0312]

yep rehaman to come... azhar alone out there.

 

[dhump]

give out not a no ball it was very close to be honest.

 

[Wattoo]

 

[ViciousMachine]

Ugh... another early blow. Really need our tail to wag today.

The no-ball looks ok to me, should be out.

 

[saiyan0312]

adnan was hanging his bat out.... it was bound to happen.

 

[IAJ]

Seems like Pakistan wants to bowl today.

 

[talma]

Holding a bat

Adnan does not know the proper stance for holding a bat...This is the curse for most Pakistani batsmen.

 

[Sakss]

Adnan gone too Pakistan in deep deep trouble

 

[Asif321]

no feet movement , wahab is better batsmen then him

 

[Red Devil]

Adnan is crap with the bat

 

[saiyan0312]

rehman... avg 15.... tail must wag today.

 

[ViciousMachine]

In big trouble now, Azhar needs to accelerate.

Thats the one thing he really cannot do. Better he just play his natural game, and hope somebody can stick around with him.

Ajmal is a fighter at least. Hope the other 3 can at least try to do the same.

 

[Red Devil]

Hope Abdur Rehman can stick around for a while

 

[Steve Austin]

So how many of you still think Pakistan is a better test team than India?
That 3-0 against England was fluke IMO.

 

[saiyan0312]

scoring 200 looks hard now... well atleast there is right left combo out there.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

A guy.. averaging 25's cannot be in a team as a wicket keeper.. Its a Big Joke..

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pak in trouble again.

 

[HASHAM2]

Kamran Akmal should do comeback in Test cricket

he is better test batsman compare to Odi batsman

 

[IAJ]

Will be embarrasing to be bowled out under 200 here.

 

[HASHAM2]

220 Score is Decent Total for ZIM bating

 

[HASHAM2]

But this performance is concern ahead of SA Series in UAE

 

[IAJ]

scoring 2000 looks hard now... well atleast there is right left combo out there.

Lols 2000

 

[Steve Austin]

Will be embarrasing to be bowled out under 200 here.

It will be an embarassement to score anything under 300 against Zimbabwe. Someone needs to be hold accountable for this fiasco.

 

[Saeed]

What has that 3-0 and india got to do with this thread?

 

[Red Devil]

Yup. scoring 2000 will be pretty damn hard now.

 

[HASHAM2]

Chatar is good find for ZIM

 

[saiyan0312]

when tail wags... big scores can be reached.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Without Taylor, I doubt if Zimbos can even score 100. Their batting lineup looks terrible.

 

[IAJ]

Pak in trouble again.

Old newz

 

[HASHAM2]

Rehman was use to be Decent NO-8 Batsman

But now days his Bating performance is gone down

 

[Professor]

Even 200 will be fine, the pitch is turning and with Ajmal and co, we should roll them over quite quickly.

 

[saiyan0312]

Lols 2000

Yup. scoring 2000 will be pretty damn hard now.

200

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah just making his average score of 45+ and got out.. SO that he can keep his haters away saying .. he played a valuable knock....

 

[Steve Austin]

What has that 3-0 and india got to do with this thread?

Few posters overhype their test team here based on that 1 series against England. Some even question whether the ICC test rankings are accurate.
Just wanted to ensure if they still hold the same opinion abt their test side?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Chatara on fire.

He is reminding me of Walsh.

 

[HASHAM2]

Azhar and Rehman need to play attacking cricket
get Quick runs now

 

[talma]

A meager score on either side does not absolve Pakistani batsmen from capitulating to one of the two minnows of world cricket.

 

[Kianig89]

Well just started watching after tea and then :adnan got out and i had a big laugh nearly fell over

 

[Asif321]

rehman looks better then adnan

 

[Saeed]

Guys trust me zimbabwe won't score more than 400.

 

[Red Devil]

Chatara on fire.

He is reminding me of Walsh.

Yup Chatra Walsh and Utseyadharan have been pretty good today

 

[Steve Austin]

Azhar Ali - the new wall

 

[HASHAM2]

Azhar is pure Tuk tuk

 

[the Great Khan]

didnt you get banned? and now your back.

but to get to your point, yes I still rate our test side. but i disagree with the three dif teams concept. YK, shafiq,azhar havent played much cricket.

 

[Asif321]

whtmore expression "im gonna eat u guys alive"

 

[Kianig89]

ball is turning will take care of Zimbo's

 

[HASHAM2]

Easy 2 Good short Rehman

 

[Red Devil]

Azhar Ali - the new wall

Hey Stone Cold welcome to PP.

Will you be back at Wrestlemania?

 

[Saeed]

Ashar ali is better than dravid,laxman,ganguly,gavasker and tandulkar combined.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Zimbo bowler struggle agint left handers.. Still cn't understand why there isn't a Left handed Batman in our quad....

 

[HASHAM2]

Good short from Rehman

Thats short Look very good

Rehman will score big today

 

[saiyan0312]

by rehman

 

[Kianig89]

We have played very poorly so far losing wickets creeping along no momentum at all

 

[IAJ]

Guys trust me zimbabwe won't score more than 400.

Anything close to 200 would be an achievement for them.

 

[Sledger]

Abdur Hussey looking good so far.

 

[Kianig89]

tbh 180 vs 180 game will be very exciting

 

[HASHAM2]

Azhar ali and Hafeez as Opener
Haris in Middle order

 

[saiyan0312]

man whatmore must be thinking these guys will definitely get me fired.

 

[Red Devil]

C'mon Azhar score a Hundred it will make my day

 

[Kianig89]

Sir Adnan only managed a freakish 18
