Well the batting didn't look very bright....Pakistan are already 285/all out....not ground breaking. But the conditions seemed helpful for bowlers. Still it wasn't satisfactory. Inzi got out to a stupid delivery. Before lunch things weren't looking that bad with Pakistan standing at 217-4 but it was a familiar collapse from them to come down crashing to 285. All depends now on the Zimbabweans batting show.

Well, that's not good at all.

Unless the pitch/conditions are really suiting the bowlers (I've read that they were supposed to on Ceefax) then Pakistan are in severe trouble...

Not a great start for Kamran Akmal either..

More like Inzamam getting out to a stupid delivery unless Blignaut bowled him a peach :lol: Anyway good to see Blignaut back, he looked like he was going to quit the game and I heard it was because he was thinking of becoming a professional model...from what I seen...not a good career choice ;):rolleyes::cool2: He's a useful player. I hope Olonga gets back to form again and its very good to see Guy Whittall back as he is an extreamly useful player and after he started failing as an opener (a job he is not really suited to) he got dropped. I think Campell is a bit of a dodgy choice as captain despite what's happened so far...

Interestingly none of the specialists batters (except Elahi) got out cheaply , yet Pakistan ended up with just 285.I think thats primarily because the last 5 batsmen failed to put up a decent fight.Over the years the tailenders had often rescued the Pakistan team with their batting but lately they have been a big dissapointment!
Akmal will get more chances in this tour and hopefully he will perform.Now that Rashid lateef is out of the WC with injury and his career is nearly over, the WK in the WC will either be Akmal or Moin Khan!

Zim 199-6 so far....atleast they will avoid a big first innings deficit, blignaut is playing well here, took some crucial wickets and now is looking good with the bat.

If Akmal keeps well, which he has uptill now then I dont see moin making a come back. If that happens then that would be primarily becuase of his batting talents.
The Pakistani batsmen got themselves in but didn't go on to make it count.

Zimbabwe 225-10
Sami with four wickets, Shoaib three, saqlain two and waqar one. All depends on the batters now to put up a winning target for the zimbabweans. Not a bad effort by zimbabawe to stretch Pakistan though. They have given themselves a good chance. If they could bowl out Pakistan for a low total again they might fancy a chance as well.

Olonga strikes early before close.. Elahi fails again. Zimbabwe need to get stuck into the top order tomorrow morning in order to have a reasonable chance of a result.

But as i understand it, :baddevil:Mcgrath:baddevil: has been spreading evil for the better part of the last decade, surely you knew of his evil ways ?

Wasn't :baddevil:Warne:baddevil: the evil Incarnate ?

Elahi...aaarggh...who picks this fella ? how many times has he come good ?NEVER in my memory. The opening pair is a growing situation now, nothing stable at the top for so long.....

I think Saeed Anwar should be brought back and polished til the world cup, thats Pakistans only chance for a succeful opener.

Thats the only person we know is capable for that job.

Warne is just looking more and more washed up...the ear-ring does him no favours, McGrath is just plain evil, if anyone had any sense they wouldn't follow the ball but they allways do and thats why hes successful. He's worked out a way to get wickets, people ought to have worked out how to combat him now...he never changes his methods, he's doing the same as he has been doing basically since he came into Test Cricket and only NZ have worked out that you leave him alone which then makes him mad...then pick him off...

Thats a nice insginia BTW for the Aussies....:baddevil:xxxxxxx:baddevil:

re: Saeed Anwar, I was a great fan, die hard stuff, but i too have lost hope now. He's completely lost colour now. I still hope he can perform, but that looks very unlikely.

Warne is played extremely well by 3 batsmen...Tendulkar, Craig McMillan & Cairns.

The key is that they have no fear for Warne. You see all these batsmen who go out to bat & prod & give Warne a sniff of a wicket. Tendulkar, McMillan & Cairns all attack Warne & make sure he goes to the boundary fairly often.

Pakistan all out for 369 in the second. Taufeeq finally gets his hundred well played. Inzi gets to 6000 runs. When these two were going, the run rate was well over 5 in something like the 21st over. Inzi scored hundred runs inside a session 18 boundaries ? Zimbabawe fielded terribly all day lots of overthrows and fumbles. Now its two days, 429 runs and zimbabwe on the edge......
