Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
Asad needs to be persisted in tests. Wee are quick to say drop this that and the other, the guy has performed decently in tests and more exposure will only benefit him. The fault lies in the opening pair.Plus lets not forget three absolutely shocking LBW decisions against Pak. Irfan should be given chancce in tests as well.
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
yeah I know, I meant he also needs to step up and take some responsibility now. No ones spot is secure unless they deliver. Azhar took hold in the first innings, now asad needs to show some mental strength.
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
The match is slipping away as 5 down for just 91 runs lead... :D
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
5th ball of the day and the first one Shafiq receives, he is bowled.

Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
You cannot make a run...you cannot block a ball...and you call yourself a batsman...lol
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
Younis 100. 
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
84.6
Chatara to Younis Khan, FOUR, full delivery on off and middle and Younis gets on top of it to glance this square on the leg side which beats fine leg to the boundary. His 22nd Test century and his 1st against Zimbabwe in Tests. What an important innings in the context of the match for Pakistan
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
Pakistan equal its Ist innings score 249 with 5 wickets still intact... :D
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare

These two have literally got us out of gaol
Well-batted both Younis and Adnan
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare

Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare

Umar Farooq: "I never complain when my comments don’t get posted. But I think this interesting stat about my favourite Pakistani batsmen should be posted. Younis Khan 47 hundred-run partnerships have come in 146 innings which means he contributes in 100 run partnerships for Pakistan after every 3 innings." :k:
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
309/7
Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
A lead of 231 at tea. I say another quick 70 runs and put Zim to bat for at least 10-15 overs today.

Re: Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe , 1st Test, Harare
Pakistan is out in clear. Pakistan losing is a very unlikely option right now. They need to step on the gas and give enough time to bowlers to bowl Zim out. If Zim doesnt get enough time to chase the target then they would play for a draw.
I think Pak missed the trick by playing sooooo slow in last few sessions.
