[Eminence]

Thank God ! Pakistan take lead now.

 

[asif9138]

0-3 reminds me of karachi test match against india

 

[HASHAM2]

Now Pakistan are 2 runs ahead
Pakistan 2/3

 

[Hawkeye]

Misbah says "araam say"

 

[asif9138]

tager for ZIm now is 4 so far

 

[saiyan0312]

ok guys... play your game... stay cool and focused and make a big score.... Dont care about RR

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good running by Misbah.

 

[Aman]

Slow down Misbah

 

[saiyan0312]

4/3

 

[asif9138]

misbah has batter strike rate than YK

 

[HASHAM2]

8 Runs in over

 

[Wattoo]

it takes Anil kumble 124 tests to score 2506 test runs, while Misbah did it in 40 tests. Legend

 

[asif9138]

could be last over before tea

 

[saiyan0312]

8 runs from chatara over....

 

[asif9138]

last 5 balls

 

[HASHAM2]

Misbah has 45 Plus S/R Not bad at all
Misbah comes in
when Pakistan were 23/3

 

[Wattoo]

ya ALLAH tera shukar , 4 runs lead

 

[imshally81]

5 runs lead

 

[asif9138]

good to see smile on ZIm faces

 

[asif9138]

3 balls left

 

[Executioner]

Pakistan has seemed to have recovered. 6/3 with little batting to come

 

[saiyan0312]

couple of singles.

 

[MRSN]

and then if they get out, you will post "why do that! Not needed at all"

Once again, the guy you hate all the time for no reason, stands up and bails our team out.

MISBAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! LEGEND!!!

lol he's just eyeing for his 50-60 once that is done he'll start playing rash and irresponsible shots you'll see..

 

[asif9138]

after going to dressing room misbah should ask hafeez...kan pakar lo..aur bas shoro ho jai.

 

[Zero]

Misbah hit a four, everyone loves him again, haha.
Pakistan can take charge here, hopefully.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need a lead of 200 here atleast to try and salvage this wreckage at the moment.

 

[asif9138]

tea time

 

[Executioner]

wow what a girl..wish i was there in ZIM

You pervert

 

[imshally81]

Tea

 

[CalculatedRisk]

crucial session after tea

 

[ViciousMachine]

ok guys... play your game... stay cool and focused and make a big score.... Dont care about RR

Good to see a Pakistani fan who understands test cricket! Zimbabwe chasing 200 on day 4 is easier than them chasing 200 on day 5.

Even batting out dots will help Pakistan from here. Open some cracks for Ajmal.

 

[asif9138]

9 runs lead

 

[MRSN]

that's tea...

Current partnership 64 runs, 24.4 overs, RR: 2.59 (Younis Khan 27, Misbah-ul-Haq 37)

 

[saiyan0312]

Pakistan 9/3 and its tea.... score 87/3.... Guys dont break concentration like last time.

 

[Bilal7]

Younis and Misbah are by far the best test batsman in Pakistan. They always come good during pressure situations.

 

[HASHAM2]

Pakistan on 9/3
Time for tea

 

[Wattoo]

Good recovery but overall Zim session

 

[asif9138]

even 200 will be difficult for Zim..even waller said yesterday. they are underpressure already

 

[WebGuru]

haha misfield

My dear...Love it or hate it...Misbah is a full stop to our famous batting collapses and always help to recover...

23/3 today 27/3 the other day...

 

[MRSN]

Good to see a Pakistani fan who understands test cricket! Zimbabwe chasing 200 on day 4 is easier than them chasing 200 on day 5.

lol and if they manage to draw??This Harare pitches gets better and better for batting..

 

[Hawkeye]

Misbah the saviour

Play how you are comfortable with. We need a good lead and falling wickets trying to hit wont accomplish that.

 

[Wattoo]

lol he's just eyeing for his 50-60 once that is done he'll start playing rash and irresponsible shots you'll see..

atleast some 50-60 score, better than others scoring single digits and getting out, putting pak in trouble

 

[MRSN]

My dear...Love it or hate it...Misbah is a full stop to our famous batting collapses and always help to recover...

23/3 today 27/3 the other day...

where was this collapse stopper in SA test series???

 

[saiyan0312]

My dear...Love it or hate it...Misbah is a full stop to our famous batting collapses and always help to recover...

23/3 today 27/3 the other day...

dependent on Misbah in batting and dependent on ajmal in bowling... really need the other nine guys to work out too.

 

[asif9138]

lol and if they manage to draw??This Harare pitches gets better and better for batting..

no way this game is going to be draw. plenty of time left.

 

[MRSN]

Misbah the saviour

I don't know why people forget he's a captain too...he's supposed to do the other job as well..not just tuk tuk I mean bat...

 

[asif9138]

misbah plz hafeez ko phnaty lagio

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good going by both of them. Though they need to carry it on after the interval.

 

[asif9138]

10 mins to go

 

[WebGuru]

where was this collapse stopper in SA test series???

You guys will just find a way to bash misbah...Even the 132 in WC 1999 final was misbah fault right?

 

[asif9138]

if we can score 100 runs in the next session without any loss.

 

[MRSN]

You guys will just find a way to bash misbah...Even the 132 in WC 1999 final was misbah fault right?

no I'm just trying to prove in tough conditions/good teams he chickens out...

please do check out this scorecard too..

[saiyan0312]

where was this collapse stopper in SA test series???

first test match second innings came at 70/3 to take the score to 209 with shafiq.

Second test second innings came at 45/3 to take the score at 114.

 

[HASHAM2]

Misbah again doing his Job

 

[saeed-sohail]

Misbah is playing with ease. YK is still scratchy buts its understandable because he is coming off long lay off.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Where this teams batting will be ? Without these to senior citizens

 

[MRSN]

no way this game is going to be draw. plenty of time left.

let's hope but we'll have to bat with a better run rate to avoid any draw not at 2 rpo..

 

[saiyan0312]

no I'm just trying to prove in tough conditions/good teams he chickens out...

It couldnt get harder then South africa at home and he was the fifth highest scorer from both teams.... under ab,amla,shafiq and younis...... Thats both teams combined.

Was the second highest scorer in the ODI under AB only.... thats two teams combined...

 

[Wattoo]

no I'm just trying to prove in tough conditions/good teams he chickens out...

please do check out this scorecard too..

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/601613.html

others are even fail in easy conditions/weak team

 

[ViciousMachine]

no I'm just trying to prove in tough conditions/good teams he chickens out...

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/601613.html

Once again, you show how little you know about cricket. Even Amla has scored a duck, should i post 1 scorecard and say he is a bad batsman?

But best of all, even YOUR scorecard, Misbah scored more than our top 4 batsman COMBINED!!!!

Maybe you need to go watch some 2020 instead. Worrying about a draw in a test match thats in the 3rd innings on day 3....

 

[Sledger]

Good partnership and fight by these two. Still a long way to go.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Where this teams batting will be ? Without these to senior citizens

Where will this team be without Misbah. Even in the 1st innings, he stopped the collapse.

But unfortunately, people like MSRN would rather Pakistan score 100 in 20 overs in a test match than score 249 in 90 overs.

 

[HASHAM2]

Ajmal.Misbah,Younis Old players doing well compare to Young Guns

 

[Electron]

What a fightback by Misbah and Younis. It's Pakistan in the driver's seat now.

 

[saiyan0312]

Guys there are over 7 sessions left and a day 5 pitch.... we play smartly an ddont lose wickets and give a good lead we will win . Just dont lose wickets...

 

[saiyan0312]

Plz dont lose concentration.

 

[amax]

Misbah has a lot of time to play his shots, he sometimes just stroll to off stump to play that cover drive. BTW why is umar amin not playing, he got a solid technique.??

 

[Osman]

What a fightback by Misbah and Younis. It's Pakistan in the driver's seat now.

not yet...only when lead is 100

 

[Osman]

Glorious drive

 

[Sledger]

What a shot.

 

[HASHAM2]

Four by Younis khan
Super shot

 

[Osman]

yk at his best that shot

 

[Sakss]

Classy shot :4 YK

 

[Aman]

Misbah has a lot of time to play his shots, he sometimes just stroll to off stump to play that cover drive. BTW why is umar amin not playing, he got a solid technique.??

Two spots up the order are already taken the only guys I see making room are Azhar and Shafiq.

Hafeez - unstoppable ops I meant undroppable
Random
Azhar
Younis - too good to drop
Misbah - captain
Shafiq
Adnan - Keeper

In an ideal world I would go with this team

Azhar
Jamshed/Babar/Aslam
Amin
Younis
Misbah
Umar
Maqsood/Shafiq

 

[HASHAM2]

Lead is 13

 

[saiyan0312]

Panya to bowl now.

 

[Bilal7]

What a fightback by Misbah and Younis. It's Pakistan in the driver's seat now.

Not yet, buddy. Still a long way to go. We only have one more batter remaining in the tank.

 

[HASHAM2]

Marshall in to attack again

 

[MRSN]

Payangara the destroyer is back..
