Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

Azhar Ali is a genuine test batsman

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

Taufeeq has cramps in his right hand. He gets the physio's attention now

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

I don't know how one can get cramps just by blocking deliveries, i always though that cramps are result of some activity...

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

Azhar Ali Scored a SINGLE... his score is now 8...

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

May be it too hot out there

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

Add a boundary to that

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

56.3
Herath to Azhar Ali, 1 run, driven to mid-off, he pinches a single, a small sarcastic applause goes around in the small crowd as Azhar scores for the first time in 42 deliveries

  • a 4 off Herath

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

Azhar Ali :hbk:

[TABLE=“class: commsTable”]

65.5
Lakmal to Azhar Ali, FOUR, Two fours in a row from Azhar. That should shut the concerns about run-rate. A touch too full on middle and leg, drives this off the full face, between the stumps and mid-on. All along the ground

65.4
Lakmal to Azhar Ali, FOUR, after hours of defending half-volleys, Azhar Ali goes after a wide ball that you wouldn’t expect him to. However, he times the drive well, places it past cover, and gets his third boundary

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

Pakistan should look to score 400+, the more the better. The openers have laid a solid platform

I know it is test cricket but Azhar is painfully slow and boring (even slower than Mudassar Nazar which is not saying much)

This is his 14th test and it is about time he exerted himself on the international stage ... does not mean you bat recklessly like Afridi or Umar Akmal but Azhar certainly needs to work on his strike rotation skills

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

At tea

Pakistan 174/1

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011

That’s tea. Thirty overs bowled in this session, 59 runs scored for the loss of Hafeez’s wicket. This partnership is worth 56 at little under two an over. Pakistan just 23 short of Sri Lanka’s 197. You could say they were slow but they can argue they have earned themselves enough time. Join us soon after tea, around 3pm

Azhar Ali & Toufeeq Umar playing like genuine test players :clap: well done boys :hbk:
