[HASHAM2]

so still Outside Chance for Pakistan
Zimbabwe 185/4

hopefully we take Quick 6 Wicket inside 50 runs Tomorrow
and chase down 230 some how with help of Younis,Misbah

 

[Osman]

brilliant from rehman....has outbowled ajmal in this game as he generally does when it matters most....deserves his wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

Zimbabwe lead by 185 runs with 6 wickets remaining

 

[saiyan0312]

so they are 185/4 ... anything above 230 and we cant chase it....

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have chance of restricting the lead within 250.

This is not hype. Hype is " Oh rizwan is the answer to all our keeping problems and our batting woes and he is a middle order batsmen so it will solve our collapse problem too. He will be better then ab and dhoni combined" Thats hype. Trying a newbie to find out if there is a better talent out there is not hype but actually a wise experiment. For example if umer is willing in tests then kick adnan out and have him keep...


rahat gets a wicket... cmon flood gates.

Once again try him where? So u want us to drop Adnan who has done well so far and instead of developing him we should drop like we did b4? How that is helping us? In fact I have serious issue with Azhar and Adnan not playing ODI, if we going to retain them they need to play ODI to develop game as we hardly play any test. That is sane way then trying some newbie domestic hero as we already know how those high domestic performers perform on Intl level. as an example look at the pathetic excuse of bowler which is Rahat Ali

 

[saiyan0312]

zimbabwe losing utseya and panyangara means that till 8th wicket their batsmen will keep on coming.

Try Rizwan in ODI. You develop players format to format and if he shows good talent then give him a chance in tests. So according to you never pick a domestic performer? then scrap the system. No adnan lack of batting is not good for ODI. I would either keep with umer akmal or try a new keeper.

good point, we should learn from them, open with ajmal instead of hafeez, send rahat instead of azhar and get more runs on the board, but if we lose them, we can also save our batsmen

 

[Haroon786]

Lol what a collapse, bundle them for 150 and hammer the runs home inside 4 days.

 

[cricket99]

Dont be excited. .
Zimbabwe have lost only 2 proper batsman and 2 bowler..
Shame on Misbah and his team and all who are happy with today performance..

I don't waqnt to try him, I hope worst luck ever 4 rizwan may he never come to play 4 pak ever ever and ever this is coz of his fans

121-4 might be the reading but you have to remember that 2 of them were just bowlers.

 

[Saurav]

The choke has started.Zim to be bowled out under 175

 

[doctordamor]

Good of abdurrehman to get the wkts, but Zimb still in total control 186 on board and this pitch still will help bowlers specially day 4 & 5. Our bowlers just didn't bowl good simple as that

 

[Saurav]

Another one goes.

Both Night Watchmen fail miserably.

Lucky for Zim, they still have Taylor, Waller and Chigumbura even after losing wickets.

and Sibanda

 

[saiyan0312]

Well the normal routine is not working so yeah lets try it this way. Knowing our batsmen they will forget they will bat till tenth player and think about 2 wickets lost and go into a shell.

If the designated batsman is not suited to his position, then sacm him and get a better one, I dont believe in protecting your batsmen, if they cant bat then drop them; you cant protect bowlers when they get hammered why so batsmen?

 

[saeedhk]

Zimbabwe are still in control.

 

[mithun_minhas]

and Sibanda

yeah, forgot about him.

So Zim has still of their top players still to bat.

Zim should make sure they score another 125 runs to bat Pak out of the game. One of the Taylor, Waller, Sibanda and Chigumbara should score a big one.

On the other hand, if Pak can get Taylor early, they should be the favs to win the game. The pressure on Zim will be too much for them.

 

[Asif321]

only 2 batsmen r out actually , 2 were tailenders they still hav taylor , sibanda , wallar, mutumbami, chigumbura who can score atleast 90 runs which is enough
