Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

nice use of feet and keep the strike Sarfraz. After decades I am looking Pakistani batsman t use their feet against spin.

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

379/5

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Another sweep :clap: Sarfraz moves to 94*

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

96*

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Shafiq was out on 89

133.3
O'Keefe to Asad Shafiq, OUT, that's a top edge and O'Keefe has a maiden Test wicket, and Marsh gets his first Test catch as well. Gets a little too much under a good length ball on off stump and gets more height than distance. Square leg runs back and picks up the catch over his shoulder
Asad Shafiq c Marsh b O'Keefe 89 (151b 5x4 2x6) SR: 58.94

133.2
O'Keefe to Asad Shafiq, SIX, jumps down the track and tonks a flighted ball over the bowler's head. Stands there and admires the shot and I can't quite blame him. That was majestic

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Here goes the century :yahoo: :clap: :hbk: Classic inning

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

100 just from 80 balls with help of 14 fours. Amazing inning

136.4
Marsh to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, that's it! Roars to his dressing room and whips his helmet off and soaks in the sunshine!

136.3
Marsh to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, full and nipping in at him, Sarfraz pushes to short cover

136.2
Marsh to Sarfraz Ahmed, 2 runs, splits the gap between slip and gully. That was a shortish delivery with a little bit of width. Roll of the wrists again and he meets the ball at the perfect moment. Hurtling to his century

136.1
Marsh to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, that's the slower ball, which ends up a full toss on off stump. Sarfraz nips down the track and then sweeps! Gets a top edge and it scurries away to the fine leg boundary

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

good brave sensible knock by sarfaraz. Shafiq unlucky

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Last partnership

Partnership: 124 runs, 21.2 overs, RR: 5.81 (Sarfraz Ahmed 79, Asad Shafiq 43)

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Highest scores for Paksitan from Wicket keeper against Aussies

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Srfraz now have 2 centuries I beleive

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

At last we have found a proper wicket keeper/batsmen. Well played Sarfraz. :jhanda:

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

I want to see him in English and southern hemispheric conditions (SAF, AUS) before the final verdict

He for sure has a very strong case and should be around for the next 5-7 years … but then it’s the PCB we are talking about

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

why the innings is not declared yet :hmmm:

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

There is plenty of time left, they should bat on.

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

i Think they want to post 500 which’ll have psychological affect as well … keep them in the field to tire them out … wear out the pitch … let your bowlers have a crack tonight and return fresh tomorrow to follow up

U can attack without being too defensive

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

inshallah pakistan will be win.

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

No one uses their feet any more like they used to. Good stuff.

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Just when younus was selected in the test (and he performed), selectors did another bongi by putting up the weakest bowling lineup. Aussies are finding them way easy. Just take an example, for 28 overs bowled so far hafeez has bowled 10 overs. And this is the country which produces the the best of bowlers no doubt

Re: Pak V Aus - 1st Test Match

Sarfaraz and Shafiq scoring runs. Two Lyari/Korangi type guys according to Waleed. He is nowhere to be found today in this thread. He must be so disappointed.

The bowling looks awfully week. Why did Zulfiqar not bat?
