Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
a much needed fifty 
well played Misbah
Actually it is after 4 test innings
Lyon to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, so he goes back to the sweep and gets a fifty through to deep square leg. First fifty for him in nine innings, apparently

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
253/4

Lyon to Asad Shafiq, FOUR, ooh, I thought Lyon had just about managed to fool him. This was tossed up and it drifted wider of off stump that Shafiq thought. He had to drag it away and collects a bit of an ugly boundary at cow corner

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
Shafiq is now getting confidence. keep it up
102.5
Siddle to Asad Shafiq, 3 runs, moves well wide of the crease and the angle he hopes to generate goes a little too acute. Shafiq clips it quite smartly through midwicket. Lovely use of the wrists, and he played the shot very late too.

101.3
Lyon to Asad Shafiq, 3 runs, and when he drags the ball short, Shafiq jumps back, makes a little room and chops it in front of point. Didn't quite time it as this ball come quite slowly off the dec
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
Pak batting confidently this morning. A score of 400 will be challenging for the Aussies.

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
Pak batting confidently this morning. A score of 400 will be challenging for the Aussies.
I have doubt as Pakistan bowling department is very inexperience in presence of two debutantes, Zulfiqar 2 Test and Rahat 6 test. But they have shown some nice performance in side match So I wish to repeat the same performance. But we can expect any thing from Pakistan.

Marsh to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, short and wide, Misbah has cracked it through point. Slow outfield or not, when Misbah times it, they scamper off. Placed the ball well behind point

Smith to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, lobs up a full toss and Sarfraz swats it down the ground to the long-on boundary. Muscled away
Sarfraz Ahmed walks out to the crease
Tommy: "You didn't post my comment about Smith being the partnership breaker, NOW YOU CAN SUFFER!!!" Eh, ouch?
112.1
Smith to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT, there's the breakthrough Australia gambled for! Misbah eyed a flighted ball on middle and wanted to launch it over long-on again. This time though he hasn't timed it. The bat face closed on impact and limits his power so much that it lands safely in the hands of Mitch Johnson
Misbah-ul-Haq c Johnson b Smith 69 (182b 2x4 2x6) SR: 37.91
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
Pakistan is lucky to have some nice partnership so now I hope Shafiq and Sarfraz can quickly score runs
Partnership: 93 runs, 31.5 overs, RR: 2.92 (Misbah-ul-Haq 42, Asad Shafiq 46)
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
305/5
Sarfraz has continued his form simply amazing
112.6
Smith to Sarfraz Ahmed, 2 runs, another full toss and Sarfraz tries to beat mid-on as he clears his front leg and thumps it wide of Johnson. But the big fast bowler dives to his right and keeps it to a couple
112.5
Smith to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Sarfraz chops a four to the third man boundary, and brings up Pakistan’s 300. This is been a very good effort after the start they had
112.4
Smith to Sarfraz Ahmed, 2 runs, pulls his length back and Safraz goes for a sweep again. Goes for it too early and misjudges the length too as he gets a top edge, onto the helmet and goes to third man. Gets an earful from Smith as he runs across
112.3
Smith to Sarfraz Ahmed, 2 runs, tossed up on off stump, Sarfraz loads up on the sweep and gets a couple in front of square leg. Seemed a little too full, and not enough room for that stroke
112.2
Smith to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, lobs up a full toss and Sarfraz swats it down the ground to the long-on boundary. Muscled away
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
Wounder full counter attack by Sarfraz even they lost wicket on first ball.
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
What he is doing ?
114.4
Johnson to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, he's lured into chasing a back of a length delivery outside off, but he has perfect control over it somehow. Chops it on top of its bounce and collects a boundary to third man. Lovely timing
114.3
Johnson to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, 140kph, rises up with a short ball on off stump and blunts it towards point. That's nicely done. Far more compact
114.2
Johnson to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, back of a length and a shade outside off, Sarfraz looks to ride it to third man but David Warner does well at gully, diving to his left
114.1
Johnson to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, 137kph, full and wide outside off, Sarfraz is eager as ever as he swishes and misses. No feet.
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
Very +ve cricket by Sarfraz
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
115.1
Lyon to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, jumps down the track and hammers a flighted ball to the right of mid-on. He's motoring along, and since the last over he has not looked hurried
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
Easy Sarfraz as there is nothing in tail.
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
here comes the Asad fifty
Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match
Today they are very comfortable against spinners.
