Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Harare | 12/09/2013 | Day 3

[Osman]

we can't even get out zimb batsman how are we going to get out amla smith and kallis....72 for 1 and were were 90 odd for 3 down

 

[Executioner]

Zim will be around 190 ahead today at close . For them to declare after 45 overs on day 4 means a target of 325 in around 133 overs - do not think Zim will be that adventurous . 360 in 120 overs looks more reasonable & PK can bat 4 session. nothing dicey in the pitch atm .

If Pakistan can bat till the end of the match, they should win it

 

[MJcricket]

ZIM is scoring faster than Pakistan.

 

[Sledger]

137 lead, nine wickets in hand.

 

[Aman]

If Pakistan can bat till the end of the match, they should win it

Pakistan go around 2.5 an over....

3 an over is beyond their ability...

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pak can chase anything under 275. Anything over it, I will have Zim as Favs.

 

[Executioner]

Pakistan go around 2.5 an over....

3 an over is beyond their ability...

assuming they can bat 4 and a half session I think they should be able to topple zimbabwe's score. But it will be an uphill task to bat for that long.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Pak can chase anything under 275. Anything over it, I will have Zim as Favs.

YK is the key. If Zimbos get hi early, Match is theirs. I dont see any Pakistani batter apart from him to be able to score runs needed to win this game

 

[Kianig89]

:ramiz :sikandar and an Indian Journo on Geo Tezz discussing FSD wolves issue

 

[Red Devil]

Still only 1 wicket down

What the hell is going on

 

[TonyStark]

Lol, remove 's 77 and you will have like 150 runs. And they say we have "Best Talent".

 

[Sledger]

Junaid running right down the middle of the wicket.

More help for Zimbabwe.

 

[TonyStark]

Pak wont lose. But this is some Phainty.

 

[Asif321]

why is hafeez in team ? and people say he is allrounder he doesnt even bowl
he is just playing as batsmen and vice captain , throw him out ASAP

 

[Amjid Javed]

why is hafeez in team ? and people say he is allrounder he doesnt even bowl

Hes just playing as VC! Calling him a batsmen is an insult to anyone who can actually hold a cricket bat.

 

[Sakss]

nothing wrong with pitch

DID you see how Asad got out , that ball hit the crack and came in.

Besides ball is also keeping low

 

[Sledger]

Four more, lead goes to 144..

 

[Asif321]

Younus Khan should captain pakistan again i feel , he is a real fighter and also know which team to select

 

[hur rizvi]

Zimbabwe well on Top, They shouldnt be atleast losing from here

 

[mithun_minhas]

I have a strange feeling that Zim will choke anytime now.

They are in a situation that is completely unfamiliar to them.

 

[Convict]

The same way England, India and South Africa are ranked higher

Can you see England, India or South Africa getting beaten up by Zimbabwe?

 

[hur rizvi]

Pak wont lose. But this is some Phainty.

Exactly, zimbabwe are real winners irrespective of the result...

I dont see Pakistan winning from here, Draw is only a slight possibility

 

[Pakistan cricket 4 Life]

Can you see England, India or South Africa getting beaten up by Zimbabwe?

I can see Australia getting beaten up by Zimbabwe

 

[HASHAM2]

Wicket less session

 

[hur rizvi]

I can see Australia getting beaten up by Zimbabwe

No way, I dont see this zimbabwe team beating anyone other than Bangladesh and Pakistan

 

[Sledger]

Spun back a long way.

 

[Asif321]

adnan keeps on fumbling

 

[HASHAM2]

no wicket in this session
can not blv

 

[saiyan0312]

17 overs left.... we need 6 wickets to make the session ours.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I can see Australia getting beaten up by Zimbabwe

I doubt man.

Clarke is great and Aus has a tail that can bat really well. Zim bowling is below average and the likes of Warner will look like monsters. They will not play defensive style cricket

On Zimbabwe pitches, Aus bowlers will extra bounce and can skittle out Zims.

 

[doctordamor]

even the 1st test win was lucky escape for pak frankly speaking should be 2-0. Ajmal oh ajmal

 

[Sledger]

Good ball, pitch is doing a bit.

 

[saiyan0312]

loud appeal but not given.

 

[Kianig89]

Take Utseya the tailender away and ZIm are 147/0

 

[Asif321]

hafeez is their for cheerleading only

 

[Kianig89]

Tino Mawoyo finally showing his calibre

 

[saiyan0312]

Good ball, pitch is doing a bit.

Yeah and its day 3 only.... Plus we will be chasing on day 4 and 5 a target like 270

 

[Kianig89]

hafeez is their for cheerleading only

his next inning should be his farewell inning in Tests

 

[Executioner]

I think zimbabwe need to just bat a bit quicker, say an extra run per over because it would be gold-dust if they can score 350 and keeping 4 innings for Pakistan remaining

 

[HASHAM2]

Pitch start spining for aju

 

[Kianig89]

If Zim wins then the Haier Trophy is shared

 

[saiyan0312]

What is hafeez doing.... No batting,bowling and is a bad slip fielder. Wont get axed though.

 

[saiyan0312]

loud appeal... this one looked close.

 

[saiyan0312]

shot.

 

[Sledger]

150+ lead now.

 

[Asif321]

kya baat hai mawayo jaani

 

[HASHAM2]

match is over for us

 

[Kianig89]

if Zim bat till lunch then lead will be 250

 

[Sledger]

Zimbabwe can declare after another 50.

 

[Pakistan cricket 4 Life]

his next inning should be his farewell inning in Tests

If only

 

[Asif321]

zimbabwe should get another 130 runs and they are totally safe

 

[Kianig89]

and if they manage a lead of 300+ then Faf Du Misbah to save the game

 

[Kianig89]

handled with ease in this game

 

[saiyan0312]

very very loud appeal.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Pakistan will end the tour like they started.....with a loss

 

[Sledger]

Missing leg.

 

[doctordamor]

Oh man that was way close

 

[Asif321]

Masakadaza is really a fine player

 

[doctordamor]

Post 3-0 england we have really slipped as I expected and now Zimb has truly shown how pathetic we are in all the aspects of game, can't bowl, can't bat can't field

 

[Kianig89]

155/1

 

[Sledger]

Not out again..

 

[saiyan0312]

very very loud appeal and that looked out.

 

[Pakistan cricket 4 Life]

as PLUMB as it gets

 

[saiyan0312]

why was that not given

 

[RehanG]

plumb... steve davies such a ...

 

[Asif321]

that was out .. 10th wrong decision in this match

 

[Kianig89]

TIno nearing a 50

 

[saiyan0312]

maoyo gets a fifty.

 

[Sledger]

Margnial, might have clipped leg, might have missed leg - could have gone to umpires call with DRS.

4 next ball. 50 for Mawoyo.

 

[Kianig89]

STV D joins the part mster

 

[Executioner]

that looked plumb, although his stride saved and that ball turned a bit too much

 

[Kianig89]

50 up

 

[saiyan0312]

that steve davies is really getting on my nerves.

 

[Osman]

disgraceful umpire...how is this guy on the elite panel????

 

[Kianig89]

end of an eventful over

 

[Executioner]

STV D joins the part mster

[Kianig89]

[Kianig89]

[Kianig89]

[Executioner]

98/1 and that batsman that got out was a tail-ender. Goes to show how dominant zimbabwe have been so far
