Pakistan's Tour of Zimbabwe

How about you people who seem to criticize everything just stop watching cricket so you can never be dissappointed.
What is the use of crying over the same thing?
Every team has highs and lows, this is what happens in sports, if you can't handle it than just don't watch it.

i have only 1 picture to summerize pakistani team :slight_smile:

Yeah, but why are our lows SO low!!! I mean thre is a big difference between a respectable loss, and a Pakistani loss.. Pakistani losses defy all logic and deserve no repect. The least they could do is come close to winning...

Adnan bhai that extremely embarassing loss was just the 2nd test, and that too with a young side, there is nothing to be ashamed about. If our side consisting of Wasim, Inzi, Saeed, Youhana would have lost that way, yes it would have been shameful.
I can assure there would have been a similiar result if Australia were injury prone and they had to bring in 6 or 7 brand new youngsters in their team, they would have lost the same way.

Pakistan enjoy a day of carefree batting in Harare
John Ward - 4 November 2002

A laidback Pakistani team enjoyed a day of carefree batting practice at Country Club, the CFX Academy headquarters in the eastern suburbs of Harare, finishing the day with 352 on the board for the loss of five wickets. With one unfortunate exception, all the leading batsmen enjoyed their meal but nobody made a pig of himself.

The pitch was flat, although it had a little pace, and the bowling not too testing; none of Zimbabwe’s young hopefuls among the bowlers was able to trouble the batsmen or press a claim for a Test berth. Salim Elahi (49) and Taufiq Umer (86) enjoyed an opening stand of 127, before getting out and allowing two even better innings from Younis Khan (84) and a slim-looking Inzamam-ul-Haq (63).

Inzamam-ul-Haq, scourge of Zimbabwe’s bowlers on their first tour here in 1994/95, was the master, toying with the bowlers for 63 off 62 balls before he decided he had had enough. Younis Khan looked to be heading for a century but was well caught at long leg by Nkala running in.

The only batsman to miss out was Yousuf Youhana (1), ironically the one most in need of practice. He fell victim to cricket’s most unfair law, that which allows a non-striker doing his job properly to be fortuitously run out by an accidental deflection off the bowler. A straight drive from Younis and a boot from Blessing Mahwire, whose intention was merely to stop the ball, did the trick for the luckless Youhana, the man who played so many vital innings for Pakistan when they last toured Zimbabwe in 1997/98.

Hasan Raza, officially the world’s youngest Test cricketer since he made his debut against Zimbabwe six years ago at the reputed age of 14, finished the day unbeaten with 32, and Shahid Afridi with 21. Pakistan might well decide to bat on tomorrow to give them more sustenance.

Glad to see Inzi getting in form, thats all we need rightnow, thats the starting lineup we should have for the first test.

Elahi, Umar, Younis, Youhana, Inzi, Hasan, Afridi

only if we could fit-in Faisal Iqbal somehow!
maybe for Elahi!

Well Elahi has played well....anyway so far it has beena good display of batting and the team looks good...but then again, its Zimbabve A they're playing agianst...lets hope the team gathers some momentum and harmony heading in to the first test match against Zimbabve
