[Saeed]

I am going take my fee back from magic school if this doesn't work.

 

[Justcrazy]

This partnership has destroyed 60 % of the chance of Zim pulling an upset here

 

[HASHAM2]

[HASHAM2]

Pakistan Session

ZIM Dont have Spinner

Thay need Spinner to Use 4 day Pitch

 

[Justcrazy]

I think 220 is the max Zim can chase , anything over that would need someone to play a blinder .

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lunch it is..... .. Awesome MYk again..... ..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lead by 180 runs with 5 wickets remaining


Lunch

 

[imshally81]

Pak session
Lead is 180 now.. Just 40 runs required... then we are in safe zone..

 

[saiyan0312]

So 180 lead and 5 down..... We are approaching the safe target but i dont think there will be a deceleration until we reach 300.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I think 220 is the max Zim can chase , anything over that would need someone to play a blinder .

Anything under 300 would be a cake walk for Zimbos with only 2 pacers and defensive mentlaity from Kaptaan Jhi

 

[Saeed]

HOGWARTS will not return your fees :dambaldoore

I will demolish it, my that skill is great.

 

[Scrolln]

I dont see Zimbabwe winning this one.

 

[saiyan0312]

I am going take my fee back from magic school if this doesn't work.

Did you sign on the dotted line? bcz if you did then they wont give any money back.

 

[Saeed]

Declare it so we can have an interesting match.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another 100 would be awesome and another 70 would make pakistan favourite.

 

[saiyan0312]

I will demolish it, my that skill is great.

while you are it can you do something about our batsmen too.

Finally a session that was dominated by us. it took us three days to get there.

 

[Saeed]

Don't worry i will paint the car of my teacher if i don't get my money back.

 

[Wattoo]

great knock by YK, nikka Akmal is also doing well, Goodluck Pakistan

 

[yasir]

Why Pakistan did not take Adnan Akmal to SA earlier this year? - I don't remember the reason, he is a much better Keeper and Batsman than Sarfraz... What were Misbah and mgmt were thinking? - I would say same thing about his brother Umar, he far better than most of the batsmen in top 5, his omission is not justified in last 2 years.

 

[Saeed]

while you are it can you do something about our batsmen too.

I was doing chilla during the past 3 days so its worked no need to get my fees back and the magic i am doing now will work in dubai.

 

[Saeed]

Another 100 will be good we should try to get to 320 then declare.

 

[saiyan0312]

I was doing chilla during the past 3 days so its worked no need to get my fees back and the magic i am doing now will work in dubai.

i would still ask for half a refund.

dubai bhai yaha ki pitches par karo.

 

[saiyan0312]

Wes hould look to score alot of runs and declare about 10 overs before finish and try to get a wicket.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Game over for Zimbos. Why cant Yunus play in odis?

 

[yasir]

Misbah should learn from Younis how to play long innings... He does not rotate strike (tuk tuk or thuk thuk), does not move feet enough to be comfortable after a while... He tries to release the pressure by blocking it out, but he needs to do more than that to help teams cause...

Some how Misbah's fan don't see flaws in his batting, pre-mediated tuk tuk is just as bad as pre-mediated slogging, both of them does not help you play long innings and help you achieve what team needs!!!

Younis has 22 100s in 83 test and Misbah has only 3 in 40 tests... Many of Younis 100s were in 3rd and 4th innings (most difficult time to bat)... I have said many times in past Misbah was never not good enough to play ahead of MoYo and YK (when he was young), you can see why even this year when Misbah is in form of his life, still cannot score 100 no matter who is opposition!!!

 

[Saeed]

Lol fauj ad on PTV sports.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Brilliant innings from . Even though its against a weak attack, but a good test inning from a Pakistani batsman is always a welcome sight.

 

[Sledger]

"Any of the four results".. what?

 

[maddgenius]

great knock by YK, nikka Akmal is also doing well, Goodluck Pakistan

Correction: He is Manjhla akmal

Nikka akmal is Umar

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Another 100 will be good we should try to get to 320 then declare.

I would say 4 seesions atleast is needed to get Zimbos

 

[Saeed]

I would say 4 seesions atleast is needed to get Zimbos

Its 190 now so another session it will be 280 or around it looking at the pitch and bowling they might chase that.

 

[MRSN]

needs to bat a bit quicker in this session..

 

[MRSN]

good save..that was a certain four..

 

[Wattoo]

Adnan is hitting the balls going very wide outside of off stump.

 

[saiyan0312]

target in mind should be between 250 to 280.

 

[Wattoo]

Game over for Zimbos. Why cant Yunus play in odis?

He is not a good odi batsman.

 

[WNC]

"Any of the four results".. what?

Draw, Tie, Zim Win, Pak Win

 

[saiyan0312]

cracked and two runs....

 

[MRSN]

Zim still relying on seamers to do the job..

 

[Wattoo]

yeh abhi seeti per gana akmal ga raha tha?

 

[MRSN]

Draw, Tie, Zim Win, Pak Win

genius!

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

needs to bat a bit quicker in this session..

+1. If you ask to take all 10 wickets on day 5 it is possible but definitely uncertain. Should take the lead around 300 ASAP and declare

 

[Red Devil]

Big Appeal

 

[MRSN]

58 overs remaining..we should bat just 30 and declare..

 

[WNC]

Pommie got all excited for that, it was going over and down leg.

 

[Sledger]

Going down leg.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

He is not a good odi batsman.

His test strike rate is better than Misbah? Odi S/R is better than Misbah. To me he is better batsman then Misbah. And Misbah is playing

 

[WNC]

Firdous baji is getting too much attention from the camera man

 

[WebGuru]

Camera focus on Firdose Moonda

 

[Xoib]

Mohammad Asif would have destroyed teams on this tract the ball keeps nipping about even when its old.

 

[WNC]

His test strike rate is better than Misbah? Odi S/R is better than Misbah. To me he is better batsman then Misbah. And Misbah is playing

Misbah has been atleast scoring runs in ODIs, YK hasn't.
Besides I think someone pointed out that for a genuine bat, he has the 2nd worst record or something.
But he's a class act in tests though.

 

[Sledger]

Good effort by Akmal, didn't expect him to bat this well - thought he'd get a quick 20-25 and get out. Deserves a fifty.

Also looks way better than Sarfraz.

 

[MRSN]

+1. If you ask to take all 10 wickets on day 5 it is possible but definitely uncertain. Should take the lead around 300 ASAP and declare

yep..4 an over will do it but doesn't look like in the plan right now..

 

[MRSN]

dropped

 

[Red Devil]

Dropped! It was a very tough chance

 

[Sledger]

Younis dropped lol.

 

[WNC]

Another catch dropped, this time by Waller it seems.

 

[Wattoo]

ohhhhhhh, bach gaya

 

[Sledger]

Its a fun cricket.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Lucky escape for YK.

 

[Ahson8]

YK dropped

 

[Xoib]

was tough these ones stick.

 

[MRSN]

Adnan has driven well on a pitch Misbah/Hafeez have struggled..

 

[Xoib]

after lunch both batsman have looked edgy.

 

[MRSN]

the pressure is getting into Zimbabwean fielders..

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Adnan in nervous forties.

 

[Sledger]

Good running.

 

[MRSN]

come on Masakadza bowl some spin now..

 

[Wattoo]

His test strike rate is better than Misbah? Odi S/R is better than Misbah. To me he is better batsman then Misbah. And Misbah is playing

ODI cricket is not just about SR, and only 1.5 is the difference of SR , and you are saying that on this basis he is better.

 

[WNC]

These two and Ajmal in the 1st innings have seen off the new ball better than our openers

 

[Wattoo]

itney zour ki NOoooooooooooooooo

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Misbah caught napping

 

[Mamoon]

The awkward moment when Younis and Adnan's tuk tuk makes Misbah sleepy.
