Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Harare | 13/09/2013 | Day 4

[Batman]

8/192

 

[Osman]

ajmal has been pathetic....a total bottler....in crunch situations rehman is way ahead of him...and yet he is bowling ahead of rehman when he can't take wickets or keep the runs down

 

[Osman]

why not take the new ball honestly????

 

[GreenKnightRises]

New ball will result in quick runs, we can't have that at this stage. Its a 50-50 decision by Misbah.

Only a Dumbest of decisions will prompt not to take a new ball against the tailenders

 

[doctordamor]

Why? He's bowling well right now.

don't need bowling well need wkts, ajmal is not threatening enough, anyway this match is gone still pathetic captaincy same thing he did yesterday with openers persisted with ajmal instead of abdurrehman.

 

[doctordamor]

I sure hope this is the last I have seen Rahat Ali

 

[Bilal7]

We can chase 270 over 4.5 sessions if we play well.

 

[Asif321]

told you mutum bhai will prove to be legend

 

[Indiafan]

I sure hope this is the last I have seen Rahat Ali

Huh, hasn't he taken 4 wickets? Or does it only count when the great Junaid takes them?

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan's body language is terrible.. They look terrified at each run.

 

[Batman]

ZIM | 8/195 | 88 Overs | Lead by 259 runs

 

[Bilal7]

Huh, hasn't he taken 4 wickets? Or does it only count when the great Junaid takes them?

There is only so much you can deduce from a scorecard.

 

[Xoib]

I sure hope this is the last I have seen Rahat Ali

dumb post easily the bowler of thins innings.

 

[Xoib]

There is only so much you can deduce from a scorecard.

why he's bowled quick created chances .

 

[Osman]

this is absolutely pathetic from ajmal

 

[mosh101]

Garbage ball from ajmal

 

[doctordamor]

Ajmal shabash bowling wah wah saeen wah

 

[GreenKnightRises]

LOL.. What a joker. till no new ball taken and is persisting with Ajmal who hasn't been any threat to Zimbo batsmen this game

 

[hur rizvi]

Pathetic display from Ajmal, Why is he bowling...

Why is Rehman not bowling?

 

[Sledger]

A draw is the only option now. Pakistan can't chase 270 in an ODI, nevermind a test on a wearing wicket.

 

[Wattoo]

 

[mosh101]

So much for not taking the single lol

 

[Batman]

8/199

 

[Bilal7]

Ajmal's rightly looking angry. So many edges off his bowling.

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal strikes.

 

[mosh101]

Vitro akram out in the middle !

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lucky wicket for Ajml

 

[hur rizvi]

At last misbah is able to buy a wicket for ajmal

 

[Wattoo]

bad captaincy by Misbah, all match Ajmal been played comfortably while abdurrehman has caused trouble and he keep persisting with ajmal

Ajmal & Misbah says Hi another gone

 

[doctordamor]

Huh, hasn't he taken 4 wickets? Or does it only count when the great Junaid takes them?

Mate you know very well how he got those wickets, Junaid actually create chances that give wkts, Rahat except for one I cant recall any wkt that came due to good bowling istead of stupid shots

 

[Asif321]

last wicket partnership to be of 30 runs

 

[hur rizvi]

Ajmal's rightly looking angry. So many edges off his bowling.

Ajmal has bowled extremely PAthetically in this match

 

[Batman]

Mutumbami gone finally

 

[doctordamor]

Ajmal & Misbah says Hi another gone

Doesn't change the fact it is wrong he did conceded runs, how many he got in 1st Inning?

 

[mosh101]

Wrap it up boys !

 

[GreenKnightRises]

wont allow Rahat to take his 5 wickets

 

[Indiafan]

Mate you know very well how he got those wickets, Junaid actually create chances that give wkts, Rahat except for one I cant recall any wkt that came due to good bowling istead of stupid shots

Still, if it wasnt for his 4 wickets, where will you be now?

 

[Bilal7]

Don't take the new ball Misbah. Just ask Rahat to bowl it tight and let the pitch do the work. Can't led the lead fatten anymore.

 

[Wattoo]

A draw is the only option now. Pakistan can't chase 270 in an ODI, nevermind a test on a wearing wicket.

Pakistan has chased target of 250-plus three times in its history. So practically they still have chance.

 

[hur rizvi]

Mate you know very well how he got those wickets, Junaid actually create chances that give wkts, Rahat except for one I cant recall any wkt that came due to good bowling istead of stupid shots

Give him some credit, he has bowled well in this innings

 

[Xoib]

A draw is the only option now. Pakistan can't chase 270 in an ODI, nevermind a test on a wearing wicket.

provided the wicket falls now in 140 overs you need 260 I know we have Misbah but surely a chase of 1.8 rpo is not stiff or is it?

 

[Batman]

ZIM | 9/199 | 89 Overs | Lead by 263 runs

 

[Wattoo]

Doesn't change the fact it is wrong he did conceded runs, how many he got in 1st Inning?

How many he got wickets in first test on same wicket?

 

[mosh101]

Solid in defence

 

[hur rizvi]

Still, if it wasnt for his 4 wickets, where will you be now?

That's double standard for you, people dont have guts to praise Rahat even when he has bowled well, he has out-bowled Juni in this innings

 

[Xoib]

Mate you know very well how he got those wickets, Junaid actually create chances that give wkts, Rahat except for one I cant recall any wkt that came due to good bowling istead of stupid shots

its just not the wicket balls he has been in the channel throughout credit where its due.

 

[hur rizvi]

5 for Rahat, a well deserved 5-fer

 

[Asif321]

264 to win

 

[Sledger]

Innings ends on 199. 5 to Rahat

 

[mosh101]

5 fer for rahat !

Time for the chaseeee

 

[Bilal7]

So 263 is the target. Chaseable.

 

[Wattoo]

wont allow Rahat to take his 5 wickets

Misbah says Hi

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pathetic Shot from Chitara...

Finally 5 wicket Haul for Rahat....

 

[mosh101]

Top 3 will need to perform !

 

[hur rizvi]

This performance should have earned Rahat selection for UAE series

 

[Wattoo]

so 263 is the target. Chaseable.

264

 

[Bilal7]

Good job by Rahat but he still needs to stop bowling those garbage deliveries.

 

[Ahson8]

All out. Shukar hai
Now lets chase this down in style.

 

[akheR]

averages 30 with the bat and the ball now... future

 

[Bilal7]

Azhar should open with Manzoor, with Hafeez either coming at #3 or #6.

 

[Batman]

Rahat strikes

 

[Sledger]

Game is interestingly poised.

 

[Batman]

ZIM | 199 | 89.5 Overs | Lead by 263 runs

Pakistan to chase 264 in 140 odd overs

 

[doctordamor]

Still, if it wasnt for his 4 wickets, where will you be now?

I believe her got 6-fer against SA too? If one toils enough one will get wkts, point is how he took them and his effectiveness, he is kinda Mitchell Jhonson without that much pace

 

[Saurav]

should be easy for Pakistan

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah says Hi

LOl..Allowing 50 runs for the final 3 Zimbabwean legendary tailenders and saying Hi is a facepalm.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Less than 2 rpo , draw is out of question.

 

[Batman]

should be easy for Pakistan

Yea, but in Pakistan's case no target is easy

 

[Wattoo]

LOl..Allowing 50 runs for the final 3 Zimbabwean legendary tailenders and saying Hi is a facepalm.

You was saying Misbah will not let Rahat to take 5 wickets, and your are trolled by him.

Now to hide ur dissappiontment, u r trying to discuss other stuff.

 

[Wattoo]

yea, but in pakistan's case no target is easy

+1

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cant see pakistan chasing this down espcially with tailenders like hafeez opening...

 

[Asif321]

get ready for hafeez slip catching practice

 

[Asif321]

khurram to score century

 

[WebGuru]

There are two 4th innings specialists in current Pakistan batting line so let's see which one can do it for us this time...

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez can't stop talking. )

Khurram scored almost as many runs in his last innings than Hafeez has in 2013.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

You was saying Misbah will not let Rahat to take 5 wickets, and your are trolled by him.

Now to hide ur dissappiontment, u r trying to discuss other stuff.

Yeah,.. That was a quality last wicket for Rahat..

Misbah's intelligent move by not taking the new ball when Rahat is best with new one is equivalent for not allowing him to get to his 5 wicket haul..

 

[London_Lahori]

time to chase properly Pakistan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez to score a ton and he will complete if today , a brisk ton.

 

[taqi]

challenge for tuk tuk misbah, he will be thinking to play out remaining overs rather then chasing this

 

[London_Lahori]

I feel if Pakistan can get to 100-2 they will win this game. Someone needs to stand up and show some steel.
