Who is favorite in the upcoming test ?
re: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2011
Time to make this Thread a Sticky mods
Well Zimbabwe have a new Left Arm Swing Bowler who is a unknow entity ..... u remember what happend last time a similar bowler came up against us ..... a hat trick and we were 39-6 ..... yet we went on to win the match by a huge Margin
I sincerely Hope that we don't make a hero as we usually do with no-name/part-time bowlers , M. North just to name one from my short memory .... further our Problems against Left-Arm othodox Spin will come to the fore against Ray Price who is a good Bowlers (was once No.1 on the ICC ranking)
Aur Kuch ???? Well remain to see how bowling fares coz i've not much hope from Our batting to go past 350/innings easily which should be the minimum target for any test match we Play

In Zimbabwe innings 5 overs were bowled before the end of the day. Look at the bowler analysis, all 5 overs were bowled by Junaid khan. :konfused:

Re: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2011
If this side match is a sign of things to come (Pakistan 222 all out) tu phir Allah Malik hai … 
Re: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2011
We can loan Zimbabwe some bowlers, if that would help.
Re: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2011
Exactly that is the Main phadda with this Team … Not being able to bat Long and the rest can Be blamed on useless Fielding and toothless Bowling

Tour Match ke baad to ab koi hope nhe baki :)
Re: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2011
I do not get the point of these 'pointless' 2-day tour games. If the idea or intention is to give visiting players exposure to playing in foreign conditions ahead of the international fixtures, then one innings is simply not enough practice
They might as well play a 60 overs a side one-day game!!!
Re: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2011
**First test underway
Pakistan won the toss and on a dead pitch decided to bowl
Zimbabwe 245/4 with Ajmal taking 3 wickets
Can we avoid an innings defeat?

Re: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2011
I am in favor of draw now.
Re: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2011
Reports in media suggest that Misbah and Waqar had disagreement over the inclusion of Aizaz Cheema in the team for this match. Seems like Waqar got his way. If that is the case, then its second blot on waqar's otherwise successful stint as coach.
Dead pitch and bad decision to bowl first.

Bad fielding on dead pitch plus inexperienced bowling attack is asking for trouble. Zim 350/5
