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

[hur rizvi]

PAkistan are in a big hole, dont see a comeback from this position...

Zimbabwe are well ahead we cant chase anything more than 150 on this pitch

 

[hur rizvi]

Utseya opening the batting

 

[Asif321]

Misbah,Azhar and Asad are too overrated should be thrown out

 

[HASHAM2]

Pakistan will bowled out Zimbabwe in between 100-120
Still 180 Runs target on card

 

[Asif321]

zimbabwe need to make 240 more here

 

[mosh101]

Spineless batting from pakistan ! They deserve to lose this !

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid Five wicket haul plez

 

[battler]

I think zimbos need to go on an all out attack and take the game to the pakistani's

 

[hur rizvi]

they were favourites after 1st innings in last match too

Relax,Pak is gonna win

Much bigger difference, 4th innings on this pitch is gonna be extremely difficult.....

At most we can chase 150

 

[HASHAM2]

Network gone

 

[Aman]

I called this at the start of the day...

Where are the doubters now?

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistan will bowled out Zimbabwe in between 100-120
Still 180 Runs target on card

That's too much to expect from an average attack

 

[Azzurri]

A Defeat Comming Up ...

 

[hur rizvi]

Misbah should be sacked if Pakistan lose this test match

 

[Executioner]

Prosper Utseya opening the batting. What has the world come to?

Or is this something Pakistan should take with a pinch of salt?

 

[imshally81]

Zim 65/0

 

[Gigii]

The batting averages of these Zimbabweans look so poor. How badly would they have thrashed Pakistan if they had kept Gary Ballance!

 

[runslikeinzy]

Game seemingly beyond Pakistan barring a special bowling performance.
I doubt we will see this team win a test match for a while unless there are some surprising and highly unlikely changes.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to blow zimbos away here very cheaply otherwise a very embarrasing defeats looms...

 

[doctordamor]

Misbah should be sacked if Pakistan lose this test match

Why? and if we sack misbah who will lead? How abt coach who hasn't delivered anything substantial?

 

[Ims1]

37 overs & scoring 67 runs . had they played strokes & got out the lead would have been just 20-25 runs . extremely poor cricket .If Zim can score 175 to 200 in this innings, it will be a dicey chase .

 

[Saurav]

telecast gone

 

[HASHAM2]

Claim down

Pakistan capable of chasing 180

 

[Aman]

Sibanda will take the game away once the ball is old.

 

[imshally81]

why cricinfo not updating the score... ?????

 

[Ryankhan]

what a shame to see this team play like this against a minnows. who would want them to watch. 48 runs in 29 orvers are you serious? that is pathetic batting at its best. what will happen when this team faces aus in aus. i bet they wont be able to make 30 runs even. hate this **** defensive approach of them and this idiot defensive captain should be sacked. he should play as a batsmen only not as a captain. he is killing the team mentality with such pathetic defensive approach

 

[Saurav]

and if Jarvis was there

 

[HASHAM2]

Sibanda will take the game away once the ball is old.

Sibanda lolz

 

[imshally81]

Sibanda will take the game away once the ball is old.

Thanks for your warning ....

 

[Saurav]

Much bigger difference, 4th innings on this pitch is gonna be extremely difficult.....

At most we can chase 150

they only have Utseya as the spinner.250 should be doable

 

[Amjid Javed]

Prosper Utseya opening the batting. What has the world come to?

Maybe Pakistan should open the last inns with Ajmal and Manzoor and drop Hafeez down to number 11.

 

[HASHAM2]

Zimbabwe 70/0

 

[battler]

Sibanda will take the game away once the ball is old.

Nah i thing it will be masakadza,he is already good at playing the new ball and with the older ball he might just give himself a few liberties!

 

[runslikeinzy]

How many ranking points will we lose by losing to an unranked team?

 

[hur rizvi]

Why? and if we sack misbah who will lead? How abt coach who hasn't delivered anything substantial?

I am not saying sack him as player, but losing a test match against this zimbabwe team would be the lowest point of Pakistan cricket since spot fixing scandal, and captain should take responsibility for that

Younis khan can be made test captain....

 

[Saurav]

Maybe Pakistan should open the last inns with Ajmal and Manzoor and drop Hafeez down to number 11.

 

[HASHAM2]

Zimbabwe 72/0

Zimbabwe on Top

 

[Executioner]

Hmm probably?

And I think YK should bat at the top.

 

[Convict]

and if Jarvis was there

And Ervine
And Williams
And Taibu

 

[Aman]

How many ranking points will we lose by losing to an unranked team?

A lot.

Aus will take 4th spot.

 

[battler]

How many ranking points will we lose by losing to an unranked team?

A lot i would imagine!

 

[Executioner]

I think this could be a brilliant play from Captain Fantastic Brendan Taylor.

This is what I call: Tea Watchmen

 

[hur rizvi]

they only have Utseya as the spinner.250 should be doable

Pitch has cracks at fast bowler's good length, 200 would be extremely difficult for our batsmen

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid comes around the wicket

 

[hur rizvi]

Utseya should take attack to Pakistan....


PAkistan team looking very down on confidence

 

[hur rizvi]

Not much swing for Junaid

 

[Ims1]

predict Zim's innings runs . my guess is 170 . it is 9/0 right now .

 

[Executioner]

And Ervine
And Williams
And Taibu

Taibu was an ordinary player at tests. But he was quite ok in shorter formats. Brendan Taylor anyday. Craig ervine was also pretty average though his brother, sean ervine is quite a useful player.

Williams however, is a big miss from zimbabwe side.

 

[HASHAM2]

Come on guys
bowled out Zimbabwe before 200
we can not chase more than 200

 

[imshally81]

And Ervine
And Williams
And Taibu

Then Pak would play with their Team 'B'

 

[hur rizvi]

I think this could be a brilliant play from Captain Fantastic Brendan Taylor.

This is what I call: Tea Watchmen

Ideally Utseya should take attack to PAkistan, a quickfire 30 ought from him would take zimbabwe way ahead in the test match

 

[Stark]

Somebody was saying that chatara guy was arrogant..
What did he do..? Just tuned in ..

What a joke this is,

Our tail is beyond pathetic and board and dressing room even bigger joke,

Age old problems that seem to be No problems to to dressing room,

Bhai ye kya bouncer maara hai...?

 

[HASHAM2]

Claim down guys
We never know what coming next
Pakistan team can do anything on there day

 

[hur rizvi]

Rahat with his usual rubbish

Rather bowl a spiner than him

 

[imshally81]

Utseya is trolling us

 

[hur rizvi]

This is not that type of Pakistan team, they dont have ability to stun the world with amazing perfrormances...

 

[HASHAM2]

Rahat bowling Rubbish again

 

[Executioner]

Ideally Utseya should take attack to PAkistan, a quickfire 30 ought from him would take zimbabwe way ahead in the test match

He should be smart and playing out the overs before tea. Zimbabwe should feel confident now as he is doing the job.

After tea, he can do as much cowlashing as he wants.

 

[hur rizvi]

Utseya is trolling us

Rather Rahat Ali is trolling us

 

[HASHAM2]

This is not that type of Pakistan team, they dont have ability to stun the world with amazing perfrormances...

Wait
Meanwhile four from Utesya

 

[hur rizvi]

This should be Last match of Rahat Ali's career....

 

[runslikeinzy]

Claim down guys

Not this team, we can safely predict they are going to be ultra defensive and leak easy runs in the process. Make sure all the Zim batters get in on this pitch.
Get used to mediocrity. I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of it.

 

[Executioner]

bring rehman in. A SLA against 2 right handed batsman will seem quite smart.

 

[HASHAM2]

it is long
since i seen Junaid bowled Batsman

 

[Executioner]

This should be Last match of Rahat Ali's career....

Dont be too harsh.

I have heard a lot of people say the same about Ajmal back in 2010. The same people are die hard Ajmal fans right now

 

[HASHAM2]

bowl not Keeping low in Zimbabwe inning

 

[hur rizvi]

Wait
Meanwhile four from Utesya

Zim. 77/0 and bowler looking dead, Zimbabwe are miles ahead in the match and they deserve to win this match...


PAkistan's bowling attack and batting barring YK is way too average to come out of this hole

 

[HASHAM2]

Bowl keep low this time around

 

[Xoib]

Claim down guys

its sad if you need to win against Zim doing something magical we should smashing them awful performance all around.

No thats a reality, Rahat Ali shouldnt be near the team atleast in near future...

He is the most mediocre bowler we have produced in recent years

 

[Ims1]

bowl not Keeping low in Zimbabwe inning

when you posted that, just 3.4 overs were bowled - another conspiracy
77 for no loss & 42 overs left in the day PK needs to take 5 wickets today to stay in game .

 

[doctordamor]

I am not saying sack him as player, but losing a test match against this zimbabwe team would be the lowest point of Pakistan cricket since spot fixing scandal, and captain should take responsibility for that

Younis khan can be made test captain....

1st of all Younis is the reason we in trouble, he was groomed to be captain and then he went on and screwed everything, YK can't handle captaincy, Misbah has lot of faults but u don't sack captain when there is collective failure. HOw about coach?

 

[Sledger]

Rahat strikes, bit of a fortunate wicket.

 

[hur rizvi]

Lucky wicket for Rahat

 

[HASHAM2]

Rahat Strike

 

[imshally81]

finally

 

[Sledger]

13/1 (77/1)
