Pakistan V India - 1st Test Match.

I don't know why you're picking on Imran Farhat, Faisal bhai. he's not in your fantasy team, is he? :-p

But seriously, he's a very, very talented batsman. His temperament is a bit on the weak side but then again which Pak batsman's isn't especially at the start of his career? Had he played alongside Saeed Anwar, he would've been a much improved player by now methinks.

Waisay, if Youhana and Inzi get a combined score of less than 200 in this innings, I will personally make sure that Youhana isn't allowed to doctor any more pitches and that Inzi goes on a diet.

Faisal bhai..
best way it can happen is this.It can be won even after follow on. So there is always hope in cricket.It is the beauty of game.

Yeah.. but India made 200 more than Aussies. So, we just don’t have the time to fool around with a follow-on and then turn the tables. It has to be done without a follow-on, if we are to pull it off. :smokin:

as i said before, third day is of extreme importance. mulatan wicket would still be playing pretty good on third day and paki players need to apply themselves and stand up againt the pressure. once Again,third day is key in this test match and paki players have to apply themselves and make sure they dont lose wickets because on fourth and fifth day, you guys will be surprised how much turn this wicket may offer to spinners.

in essence, if paki players lose 6 to 8 wickets on 3 rd day, based on my experience, pak will lose the match (even if pakisatn manage to escape the follow on by a narrow margin but lose all the wickets by lunch on fourth day , pak will lose the match because it would be extremly hard to bat on this pitch in last innings for almost 125 overs).

if paki lose 3 to 4 wickets 3rd day and score almost 300 runs, match will be headed towards a draw…that is my prediction and rest of it only goid knows better.

main to lalach de Raha tha ke aap log follow-on karwa lo :wink:

good positive start... 2 perfece boundaries from imran farhat in first over today.... 50/0

This morning 7 overs and 16 runs.This is too defensive. very bad startegy by pakistani.They are making ordinary bowling look good. They should play natural shots.

Taufeeq gone. Caught in the slips off Pathan.

taufeeq umar gone :frowning:

yasir IN…good luck :k:

he is in my fantasy team as a trump.. so he better perform :bailan: inshallah he will :slight_smile:

He paid for being too defensive. They are falling to Indian plan, which is frustrate them by checking runs

Wow..The Indian bowlers giving us all sorts of trouble! so much for batting paradise. Why do we have to make everything difficult? yeh kahan say humnay yeh jara seem le hey.

It is always handy to have a left arm seamer or a fast bowler! I'm sure we have fast lefties in Pakistan. I'm tired of Shabbir and Umer gul..they are not our future..I hope not...

India should bring on Balaji. He is a Yaseer Hameed specialist.

Taufeeq Umar :smack:

:disgust:

imran is gonee :frowning:
