[saiyan0312]

reverse sweep and two runs.

 

[Sledger]

Brings out the reverse sweep. What a man. )

 

[Steve Austin]

Azhar Ali is batting really well. Exactly the kind of batsman Pakistan requires in the test team.
No risky drives..aerial shots - Pure concentration.
I hope he is persisted with and does not get dropped after few failures.
He can be the next Yousin Khan

 

[Red Devil]

Was that dropped?

 

[Sledger]

Now paddles for a single to keep strike, close to the catcher.

 

[Kianig89]

Misbah n Asad played loose strokes manzoor also a bit unlucky DRS might have saved him

Junaid Survive

 

[Kianig89]

Junaid can hit a few

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid Khan Dont try to Drive

 

[Kianig89]

We are only playing with 2 seamers Misbah was prolly thinking of scoring 350+

 

[saiyan0312]

huh finally a player who has worse technique then adnan ... juni.

 

[saiyan0312]

200 looks like a mountain climb. ajmal sweeping.

 

[Convict]

Imagine if Zimbabwe had Taylor, Williams, Ervine, Ballance, Jarvis, Taibu and Vittori.

They'd have a decent international team.

Quite sad.

[saiyan0312]

[Kianig89]

i think Zim are better than Bangladesh

 

[Sledger]

Just need to get to the 200 mark for a psychological boost. Can't expect much more after that. Horribly long tail.

 

[Kianig89]

7 overs to new ball 2 wickets in hand
