Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
what a great performence…Younis Khan definetly looked like a different batsmen than in th first test match…and shut up all his critics with a brilliant centuary…and Youhana…its nice to see him playing Pathan with ease 
Pakistan Zindabad 
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
what happened to amir sohail :o 
, he used to be smart guy. I am not talking about his hair but his physique . Look at his belly :o .
He seem to be better commentator then Ramiz.
for him as well.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
absolutely brilliant batting performance from Pakistan....
The pitch is none the less graveyard for bowlers
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
We need to establish a lead of around 300 to make the task a bit easy for our bowlers.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Dont you bring that old argument again that ‘Youhana never scores when Pakistan needs him’ 
His recent record tells that he has certainly learnt to do so
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
I guess both Kamran 'Ahmaq' and You-seless Khan are bent on shutting up their critics. And rightly so. :) Hopefully now Mohammad No-Ball Sami will follow their example.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
day dreaming is not a good sign
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
It should be Mohammad No-Ball and Wide Sami 
Excellent batting performance by the 2 Ys! I expected something like that from Yoyo, but was positively surprised by Younis’ performance! :k:
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Also amazing how they have both cruised on at roughly the same pace and run rate. They were both together in the 50s, 60s, 70s up till the 100s.. younis did lead the charge but youhana was right behind him. And neither of them hogged the strike either. The way they kept rotating the strike was just superb.
Younis Khan not out 108 167 14 0
Yousuf Youhana not out 101 172 13 0
Almost identical.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
i thought they played the spinners very very well. they looked even more comfortable against kumble than against the fast bowlers for example. which is a big psychological plus given that our spinners picked up 3 wickets each on the same pitch.. balkay on a pitch with even less wear.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Let's see how long we can bat tomorrow. I hope it's gonna be very long. :)
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
The spinners especially harbajhan did have the yoyo's a bit confuzzled for a while but they both stirred just the right mix of shots and lived to see another day. What made my day was the expression on Pathan's face. He was helpless against his favourite bunny Youhana.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Ideally would be all day, ending with a min. 200 run lead.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Good game by yoyo and Younis (as someone mentioned that he scores only when about to b sacked :P )
also good to have afridi in but it would have been gr8 if brought in for taufeeq. That kid has no talent. Salmaan is way better than him.
Afridi brought momentum in the team, good fielding, good bowling and useful 29 runs.
yes pakistan should score over 700 and try to give india batting by the middle of the day. Despite the fact we have inzi, asim, akmal and razzq left in the team, hopefully we will survive good.
Why didnt inzi had khalil bowl more than 11 overs. he and useless same werent good at all. its shame to have a balling attack like that after wsasim, waqar, aqib etc..... (no actor)
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Trust me he isnt going to be sacked for quite a long time to come, performance or otherwise. He has Imran Khan’s aashirwaad with him who would actually like to see him captain the team.
And three wickets man! Two of which were Sehwag and 10dulkar! Make that 10,000dulkar.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Haha comeon we rarely get a glimpse of hope these days and last few days have been full of them.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
So we won?
