Akmals The Fighters

Adnan carrying on the legacy

Time isn't a problem. Pakistan needs 100 more runs even if they take 50 overs to score them.

 

[HASHAM2]

Pakistan need 68 more to get decent total 200

 

[MRSN]

[maddgenius]

Younis just one run away from a marvellous century

 

[saiyan0312]

[MRSN]

Time isn't a problem. Pakistan needs 100 more runs even if they take 50 overs to score them.

true..hope the players know this..

 

[Justcrazy]

Adnan should be given permanent go in test match.

 

[HASHAM2]

All those 3 Fast bowler of Zimbabwe and Vettori and Javris

all those are better Fast bowlers than Bangaldesh fast bowlers

 

[Justcrazy]

Adnan averages in late 20s , with little more hard work he can be averaging 30 - 32 , that is pretty good if he keeps well.

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[HASHAM2]

Good shot from Adnan akmal

 

[saiyan0312]

54 partnership..... pitch is easing on batting. they dont have spinners so have no idea whether the pitch is cracking or not but a 5th day pitch is always difficult.

 

[maddgenius]

adnan looking good... at 19... one more and he will surprise me

He will score a fifty mate

 

[MRSN]

i am surprised. we need a good lead.

I told yo You are underrating Akmals..

[MRSN]

another crispy cut from Adnan..looking in great confidence..

 

[saiyan0312]

I told yo You are underrating Akmals..

i am still not sure on technique, it is bad but then again its not everything. i have seen a certain batsmen destroy the best bowlers in the world with a bad technique... care to guess who it was?

148/5

 

[HASHAM2]

We should not lose wicket here
we may lose Wickets in grp like 2nd test vs SA in CAPE Town

Pitch is getting easier to bat on 250 will be chaseable.

 

[saiyan0312]

gritty knock from adnan.. need a fifty.

 

[saiyan0312]

pitch is not for swinging much but what about spin

 

[MRSN]

i am still not sure on technique, it is bad but then again its not everything. i have seen a certain batsmen destroy the best bowlers in the world with a bad technique... care to guess who it was?

148/5

well technique is overrated..he's proved in the past with couple of knocks that he can score irrespective of any bowling attack..and that's what matters..he's the best we can have in tests..

..and who are you talking about because there are so many such a players?

 

[maddgenius]

Pitch is getting easier to bat on 250 will be chaseable.
