Aamir: “Say what you may, but i miss Afridi and Umar Akmal in the test side…they added some spice to this batting..made it interesting…not knowing what will happen on the next ball. Without them watching Pakistan bat in a test match is like watching the grass grow.”
Farrukh: “@ Aamir, Shahid Afridi doesn’t have temperament to play test cricket. If we have players like him in test team, we cant become a good test team. And mind you players are not there to provide you entertaining cricket, they are there to play in a manner that suits the match condition.” …from cricinfo 
Exactly 
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
Taufeeq 150 
26.4 Herath to Taufeeq Umar, FOUR, gets everything together on this delivery, to the pitch, makes good contact with the drive and sends it to the extra cover boundary, 150 up for the first time for Taufeeq
I’m working on some stats and ll share wid u after sumtime
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
The last time a Pakistani scored a double century was Younis Khan’s triple against the same opponents in 2009. Aamer Sohail was the last Pakistani opener to score a double, back in 1992. Taufeeq is nearing. Not that I want to jinx him. I would take a settled Taufeeq over Misbah trying to play himself in any day …
Toufeeq

Herath to Misbah-ul-Haq, **SIX,** Take that. He has shut me and many others up. Half-volley, out of nowhere Misbah lofts this over the bowler's head. Clean connection as usual :hbk: :clap:
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
“Surprisingly, Misbah-ul-Haq has hit more 6s for Pakistan in Tests than any other batsman over the past 12 months, with 8 shots clearing the ropes. That includes the last one he hit off Herath.” Lucus has been bored into looking up stats
Misbah

140.2 Pradeep to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR!!, Nicely played, short and outside off, it sits up to be smacked. Misbah-ul-Haq stands tall and punches it past point for a boundary

Dilshan to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, and Misbah plays the nice reverse paddle, guides it fine past point. Smart batting

Herath to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT, Misbah goes back with a wry smile on his face. This one pitches outside leg, turns a mile, Misbah is well forward, feeling for it. PJ goes up immediately in a huge shout, Tony Hill waits before raising his finger. Misbah doesn't look pleased. **First replay didn't seem to support Hill. That's gone off the shot sleeve. No edge at al**l. A breezy 46 nonetheless. Not a Test for captains, both have been sawn off
**Misbah-ul-Haq c †HAPW Jayawardene b Herath 46 (52b 4x4 1x6) SR: 88.46 **
Misbah

Misbah gone
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
Seems another wrong one by Hill
