Junaid has done very well.

Rahat has looked good but he's also been hit around.

You can't doubt Ajmal & Rehmans class.
 
Zimbabwe are trying really hard to remove the minnow tag from their backs, putting up a huge fight.

you don't have a choice when your 1st sting bowlers are infront of camera giving interviews....

our pathetic ones talk in the field, not in the media.
 
They deserve to get their test ranking, which they will get after todays match.

when you have potenital to score 99 in exam, getting 75 is call disappoint, NOT something that should be applaud.
 
Putting up a fight? are you kidding me?

They are actually ripping us apart :))
 
Indiafan said:
Yep. Maybe not as overhyped as yours but ones which win us important things like WC, CT and avoiding humiliating loses to Zim. That's the kind of first string bowlers we have. I really had to laugh aloud to people here still taking pot shots at Indian bowlers when their great bowlers are struggling against Zim of all teams

Lol, Indian bowlers have some of the most horrible test strike rates, even your fast bowlers strike at a lower rate than spinners. :kapil

bhai start living in the present in the present time are bowling attack is as mediocre at it comes.
 
Enough with this BS Almost all of these bowlers have lower averages than indian bowlers.Its the batsman's job to score enough runs so bowler have something to defend.If some pathetic batting can't score more 300 its not bowlers fault.

In test, BOWLERS win matches.

They are in the middle of their first innings, there are 7 more sessions remaining in this match.

I fully expect Pakistan to win this match.

Why are you so insecure ? if some one looks at the match scorecard ,he would say your bowling has been shoddy till now & yet you live in denial & start talking about Ind bowlers . Is trolling the sole reason for posting ?
How do you justify Zim being 163/3 with their only international class bat not playing after they demolished you for 249 ?

And count pakistan's bowling to bowl them out at 250 unless there is hilarious decision by umpire or fantastic fielding.

I hope you are right.

But so far they have outplayed us in every department.
 
Lets chill out guys. Pakistan have been mediocre so far but you can't judge much from a couple of sessions.

that doesn't answer the question but more of a speculation.

How can zimbabwes 2nd team scorecard reads, 163/3 against 1st string pak team?

Bowlers win matches when batsman score enough runs to defend.

lol.... so you need 400+ put pressure AGAINST ZIMBABWE????

come on! even our indian trundlers can defend in less runs.

Who said this is 1st string even if it was they can fail sometimes.
 
If Zimbabwe can get a lead of 100, Pakistani batsmen will probably panic and collapse. :))

Nope, but I am seeing this sort of crying for the first time.. That a second rate team's second string team has to be pressed against a score to be bowled out by a full strength team. :))

Did i ever said 400 runs.Runs depends on the behavior of pitch.On some pitches 250 is enough on some it isn't.
 
Waller has played good attacking cricket but extremely disappointed in our bowling.

If this was not Zimbabwe but a top tier team people would look at this score line and say we are being completely outplayed at the moment.

Quit gracefully while you can. Pak team might be having a tough time, that happens.
But a blind fan who is adamant on not accepting the obvious is only degrading his own credentials.
 
250 should be more than enough for Zimbabwe minus Taylor and Williams.

Even now I would not be suprised if Zimbabwe didn't get the lead.

First read the post I replied to and you should be the last person to call someone troll.

+1. Couple of wickets and Pakistan are back in the game

appears like that . Cannot be any other reason for him not to bowl till 56th over when opposition is doing so well .

Why play an injured player? Senseless stuff from the team management !
 
Asif
Amir
Gul
Kaneria

^ All these bowlers are missing for various reasons and Irfan has been rested.

Back to your hole please.
 
Our bowling attack is very inexperienced and overall average, and our batting is so brittle. Yet we are still ranked 4th in Test cricket.
 
I'd even take Wahab over Rahat who has been poor really. Chance!!
 
Wahab and Rahat are both utterly useless. One dimensional with no variation.
 
I do remember a poster saying 260 is good score on this pitch yesterday.
Today is the pitch behaving differently? Sorry, only following on Cricinfo and pp.


Saeed said:
please.

Nope. Not after illogical statements by you. You got no leverage.
 
This reminds me of our previous Zimbabwe tour. The Zimbos scored 400+ in their first innings back then.
