[cricket.mad]

expecting a good day of test cricket. .zimbos should stretch the lead atleast to 150 to make it engrossing

 

[Kianig89]

Exiciting day ahead watching the Preview Show sit n Dr. Nauman discussing some past players

 

[Wattoo]

Pakistan should try to restrict their lead upto 50, still a significant lead.
Otherwise our team will be in a huge trouble. But often tailenders'batting annoy opposition in such situations.

 

[Wattoo]

thats in Urdu

You can't understand urdu?

 

[Wattoo]

Very crucial and tough day ahead for Pakistani team. They can make it easy if they restrict lead within 50 runs. And openers play their role perfectly.

 

[Wattoo]

Why captain is not on the field?

 

[saiyan0312]

tuk single tuk single..... they are taking quick singles.

 

[HASHAM2]

With new ball Rahat ali is better bowler than Junaid khan

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good start by the bowlers.

 

[saiyan0312]

juni bowling well. Tight.

 

[Itachi]

Junaid 20.0-6-61-2

was he suppose to be fill up the shoes left by Amir?

not doing a good job i must say.

 

[saiyan0312]

It seems Rahat is learning. Hopefully he will bowl better in the 2nd innings.

 

[Xoib]

have to say I am impressed with Zim batsman technique the swing Rahat gets with the new ball is quite decent yet they seem to be up to the task I think people are not giving Zim as much praise as they deserve.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Shot! by Chigumbura

 

[saiyan0312]

rubbish line and length.... too full and a little wide. get it right yaar.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zimbabwe lead by 40 runs with 3 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[saiyan0312]

Lead 40 .... oh boy

 

[HASHAM2]

Pakistan Bowlers need to take those 3 wickets Quickly

 

[Justcrazy]

Any lead of 70 - 75 will hurt pakistan here.

 

[HASHAM2]

Hopefully not more lead than 60

 

[saiyan0312]

Chigumbura near a half century

 

[CrowingRooster]

Try round the wicket Juni.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Wish granted.

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid khan is better bowler vs Right hand Batsman,s from around the wicket

His Inswing to Right hand batsman is big concern

 

[MRSN]

Zimbabwean batsmen are teaching ours a lesson on how to bat..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should not be too complacent , Zim can surprise them, need to get the tail within 50 runs lead.

 

[MRSN]

What's wrong with Misbah??Why not a few overs more with the seam?clueless ever..

 

[imshally81]

What about umpiring standards in the match ??

 

[Justcrazy]

looking for a 5 fer here.

 

[Saeed]

These guys are making 50s for fun that too against pakistan.

 

[MRSN]

cracks are opening..

 

[saiyan0312]

Wicket... We need a breakthrough.

 

[Justcrazy]

Just a single of that over

 

[saiyan0312]

cmon wicket

 

[saiyan0312]

Man their tail is stuck. Completely opposite of the ODI series.

 

[cricket.mad]

well made 50 from elton..kudos

 

[saiyan0312]

single and 50 for chigumbura.

 

[Ims1]

btw, here loadshedding schedule is so that one hour light, one hout loadshedding. So I enjoy loadshedding hour at PP commentry thread.

haha. All this load-shedding must be playing havoc with electric appliances .

294 for 7 & Zim looking good for 350 .

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Zimbabwe lead by 49 runs with 3 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Ims1]

cracks are opening..

What ? come again ....
299 for 7 .

 

[HASHAM2]

100 runs lead on card

 

[Aman]

A lead of 150 should make it too hard for Pakistan to win.

 

[saiyan0312]

Now the lead reaches 50.

 

[Justcrazy]

300 up

 

[saiyan0312]

300/7 great.

 

[HASHAM2]

52 runs lead for ZIM Now

 

[Osman]

this is disgraceful from Pak.....Whatmore has taken us from one low to another.....pathetic excuse of a coach

 

[Justcrazy]

Zimbabwe lead by 52 runs with 3 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid need to bowl Magic bowl

 

[CrowingRooster]

The lead is past 50 and the 300 is up. Pak has to get the wickets quick time.

 

[Wattoo]

Zimbo batsmen are grinding pakistani players.

 

[HASHAM2]

Masakadaz Looks Like Good batsman

His defence is not bad at all

 

[Wattoo]

50 runs lead, now every run will add pressure on pakistani batsmen. And btw Misbah's captaincy (eventually his place in team) is on stake?

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good over from Junaid.

 

[Justcrazy]

[HASHAM2]

Ajmal Doosre plez

 

[Aman]

50 runs lead, now every run will add pressure on pakistani batsmen. And btw Misbah's captaincy (eventually his place in team) is on stake?

Misbah should be relived of captaincy duties in tests, I would give it to YK for now and have him groom a youngster to take the position once he retires.

 

[Itachi]

yesterday said it, now saying it again. pak bowling is rubbish!

can't even take 2nd string Zimbabwen tail enders wickets!

 

[Sakss]

This is not looking good , lead by 54 runs now

 

[Justcrazy]

Zimbabwe lead by 56 runs with 3 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

If Pakistan loose this , it will be better for them . They have been playing useless players too long now.

 

[HASHAM2]

Poor Fielding by Rehman

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would need to bat at least 5 sessions in second innings.

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid is Trying so hard

 

[HASHAM2]

Pakistan would need to bat at least 5 sessions in second innings.

Pakistan will bat 4 and half sessions

 

[HASHAM2]

Good fielding by Rahat

 

[HASHAM2]

60 runs lead

 

[Itachi]

oh boy.... 60 runs now.... this will gonna hurt....

 

[MRSN]

This is turning out to be a nightmare...so nervous right now.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Yesterday they showed a picture of the last Pakistani team that toured Zimbabwe.

It had Younus, Yousuf, Inzi, Waqar, Shoaib, Saqlain. Man, how low have we fallen since those golden days.

 

[Ims1]

Zim's test so far . all sessions .
