Brilliant batting by Afridi 109 off just 116 balls. He truely deserved this century and also nice to see him open the innings. Pakistan lost wickets quickly after the departure of Afridi but still Misbah and Akmal are at the crease so 400+ is possible. Nice story and well presented.

 

[Highlander999]

Pakistan are going along nicely. Hopefully Misbah and Akmal can post a big score.

Nice work mate

Afridi has shown brilliant performance with both bat and ball. But with KX as their coach, its expected to happen for Boom boom Afridi though. Zimbabwe also haven't played bad either. Interesting match!

Tanvir is playing really well on debut. He needs to accompany Misbah. Great works Rameez bhai and also great story.

 

[Insomniac]

Have you figured out what you're gonna do with Malik yet?

As expected, faltered for less than 5.

I will probably drop him after this series or maybe use him as a bowler.

 

[surendar]

Misbah's innings is really like today's real time gameplay Both the teams have had a great time with bat. Pakistan can suprise with their bowling after this innings.
