Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 1st Test | Harare | 04/09/2013 | Day 2

[Xoib]

LOL what toothless opening bowling

Gone are the days of wasim waqar asif aamer and akhtar and people say junaid is better than aamer.

aandhon mein karan rajah.

 

[Wattoo]

Rahat Ali's run up is lazy and ugly but bowling is bit good.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good ball by Rahat.

 

[MRSN]

Beauty of a ball...

 

[MRSN]

that inswing reminded me of Amir..

 

[Wattoo]

like against SA earlier this year?

Like 3-0 white wash in UAE last year

 

[HASHAM2]

Rahat Inswing to Right hand Batsman is better than Junaid khan

Rahat Will go Long way for sure

 

[Asif321]

rahat ali should hav not got his hair trimmed looked better with tht

 

[Xoib]

Like 3-0 white wash in UAE last year

not won a test match since its been 18 months.

 

[maddgenius]

Good positive start by zimbabwe

 

[imshally81]

Wicket coming soon...

 

[Xoib]

Rahat Inswing to Right hand Batsman is better than Junaid khan

Rahat Will go Long way for sure

also is quicker by a yard or two a better prospect imo though his stamina is questionable.

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Rahat

 

[HASHAM2]

Rahat Ali Inswing to Right hand Batsman will be Lethal in years to come

 

[Xoib]

Junaid bowls too short?

 

[CrowingRooster]

Very well bowled by JK.

 

[maddgenius]

Rahat has got all the basic ingredients to be a potent seemer

Just lacks consistency, will come with time though

 

[HASHAM2]

also is quicker by a yard or two a better prospect imo though his stamina is questionable.

Junaid khan also good

Both are Amazing Find for Pakistan

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid khan dont have Inswing for Right hand Batsman which is Big concern

 

[mosh101]

Positive stuff from the openers

 

[maddgenius]

Junaid needs to work on his inswingers

cmon Md Akram

 

[Xoib]

Junaid khan dont have Inswing for Right hand Batsman which is Big concern

yeah also bowls a bit too short does not allow it to swing.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Another quick one taken.

 

[HASHAM2]

Decent Start by ZIM

 

[MRSN]

Rahat has got all the basic ingredients to be a potent seemer

Just lacks consistency, will come with time though

exactly..needs to be patient with him..

 

[Ahson8]

Ouch

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Junaid khan dont have Inswing for Right hand Batsman which is Big concern

He is missing it since the Indian tour

 

[HASHAM2]

Rahat ali Pakistani Fast bowler of 1990s

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hit hard on Sibanda.

 

[mosh101]

what a ripper

 

[Justcrazy]

22 / 0

 

[maddgenius]

A wicket is coming in this over

I can smell that

 

[MRSN]

Rahat showing Junaid how to bowl the inswingers..

 

[HASHAM2]

Rahat Ali Left Leg comes in like Wasim akram

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to give Rahat a fair go at Test level, bowlers need time to get better , too much chopping and changing will not help.

 

[battler]

Bhuvi would have nipped out one or two by now.
Bhuvi is definetly a better new ball bowler than juni
While juni is better with the old ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowlers need to be patient , Zimbabwe are prone to loosing wickets in groups.

 

[HASHAM2]

Rahat dONT Bowl short

 

[Xoib]

Rahat should lose couple of kilos too much fat on him for a pacer.

 

[Justcrazy]

I have a feeling it will be a one innings shoot out.

 

[HASHAM2]

Bhuvi would have nipped out one or two by now.
Bhuvi is definetly a better new ball bowler than juni
While juni is better with the old ball.

4 test matches 6 wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should have crossed at least 300 here. Top order batsmen failed badly

 

[maddgenius]

Bhuvi would have nipped out one or two by now.
Bhuvi is definetly a better new ball bowler than juni
While juni is better with the old ball.

You never miss an oppurtunity to praise bhuvi

Who is comparing them right now?

 

[amax]

Bhuvi would have nipped out one or two by now.
Bhuvi is definetly a better new ball bowler than juni
While juni is better with the old ball.

You cant count on Bhuvi in tests untill he learn to crank it up when required, till then Junaid will remain a more complete bowler.

 

[mosh101]

Wicket finally !

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid khan Strike

 

[Justcrazy]

25 / 0

 

[Ahson8]

Junaid strikes.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Sakss]

Juni gets the first one

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Juny Gets Mwoyo

 

[Xoib]

still does not change the fact he is awful over the wicket

 

[mosh101]

Prolific pair of masakadza & sibanda at the crease now

 

[Justcrazy]

Bhuvi advantage is his swing , he hits right length , the batsmen in shorter formats are forced to play him , that also works to his advantage , a bit like Praveen kumar.

 

[maddgenius]

Bhuvi would have nipped out one or two by now.
Bhuvi is definetly a better new ball bowler than juni
While juni is better with the old ball.

And pujara is definitely better than masakadza

 

[CrowingRooster]

And Junaid makes the breakthrough.

 

[Justcrazy]

Adnan not done badly as a Keeper so far ,
48 catches and 8 stumpings , this is his 17 th Test

 

[Justcrazy]

Zimbabwe trail by 224 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Xoib]

Bhuvi advantage is his swing , he hits right length , the batsmen in shorter formats are forced to play him , that also works to his advantage , a bit like Praveen kumar.

no disrespect but Bhuvi is better to all young Pak bowlers though Rahat and yadav imo have the most potential.

 

[HASHAM2]

Masakadaz is most Important wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali Mushaf: "Nice to see that it was not Sibanda who got out. We want to see more of Rahat vs. Sibanda combat."

Cricinfo

 

[Justcrazy]

no disrespect but Bhuvi is better to all young Pak bowlers though Rahat and yadav imo have the most potential.

Yes , he is indeed better arguably. His control is excellent.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Zim would be delighted to restrict pakistan to below 300 here.

 

[HASHAM2]

Another Good inswing

If he bowl from Close to Stump

Will be better

 

[GreenKnightRises]

is looking more threatening

 

[maddgenius]

Good talent coming from multan region

Irfan, zulfiqar, maqsood and rahat

Zain abbas will make it to the national team soon

 

[Justcrazy]

The key will be how and bowl here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahat is bowling well , he needs to be patient here.

 

[maddgenius]

Yes , he is indeed better arguably. His control is excellent.

Yadav?

 

[maddgenius]

no disrespect but Bhuvi is better to all young Pak bowlers though Rahat and yadav imo have the most potential.

yadav?

he is the next sami

 

[HASHAM2]

Ajmal and Rehamn to Bowl next

 

[HASHAM2]

Woo what a Bowl from Junaid

 

[Justcrazy]

has to rotate his strike bowlers wisely, in short spells.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yadav?

No Bhuvi ........ Yadav lacks control.

 

[HASHAM2]

Good defence

 

[MarkCooper]

Rehman to bowl, hope he hasn't been smoking weed this morning before play hahah

 

[Justcrazy]

That should be the end of spell for

 

[HASHAM2]

Rehman to bowl now

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Adnan's voice.....

 

[Ahson8]
