Second Test: Pakistan v/s Zimbabwe

ok allah hafiz

Saleem Elahi out on 27 :wave: :smiley: :bukbuk:

28.2 Olonga to Taufeeq Umar, OUT: a poor choice of waft cross batted
trying to pull from well outside off, edges to the keeper :(

ooppss

i guess Shahid Afridi should have been given the chance to play this test, as first of all Saleem Elahi never was positive in his shots, n once again he got out in the same manner as in the last 2 innings, nad playing Afridi there could have been an extra bowler in the team which is definately help, thou Saqlain did the job but still a team looks full with 5 genuine bowlers!!!

NOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO!!!!

no afridi plz

Afridi is atleast better then Elahi, :hehe:
and yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy (for Elahi)

Inzamam gone on 11 :(

yes Afridi should have been playing this test match instead of Elahi....Afridi has improved his bowling a lot and it would have given Pakistan 5 full strength bowlers...Saleem Elahi has been given lots of chances before and he failed to impress and once again, he has failed to impress against a bowling attack like zimbabve's, which isn't that good especially without Heath Streak, although they have improved a lot..

90.3 Olonga to Hasan Raza, OUT: What a leave! very poor leave, did not

terrible misjudgement of the line had done that a few times
earlier, prolly was mis aligned

Kamran Akmal on 27

Pakistan 295/5… could have done a better job… great partnership between Y. Khan and Youhana… :k:
only lead by a 117 runs… lets hope they bat faster tommorow…

Kamran Akmal looks like a decent batsman, if he continues to do well than we should just keep him throughout the WC, forget about Moin and Rashid, both of them are old and injury prone.
Once again, our batsman had good starts but none of them went all the way, Younis Khan who has a habit of getting to 50s and 60s and then throwing his wicket away, I don't if it happend today but thats his usual case.
Inzi, Taufeeq can get by today's early outs mainly because that they've shown that they can bat well, Hasan Raza, Saleem Elahi need to play a good inning to cement their place in the squad.
I'm extremely surprised that Faisal Iqbal is not playing!

Youhana is a brilliant bat, technically immaculate. He will end as the highest Pakistani run scorer in test cricket, I am certain of that.

I don't know, the guy is in almost his 30s, and he has 3000 test runs. If he continues to play this way, he might end up with 7000 test runs, remember Inzi is still playing and he might go all the way to 9000 or even 10000 if he plays for 3 or 4 years but I doubt that!
