Day 1, 3rd Test; Pakistan vs England at Headingley

[darkmoon459]

Good morning all, its 5:am here ,I am up and to support My team"Pakistan".Inshallah we will have bounce back and be the come back kings again.
Just one concern ,pakistan should have played Abdur Razzak ,cause of the seaming condition but OH WELL we will see.

 

[Rana]

early scare for england! could have been run-out!

 

[KA$H]

sami opening - holding reckons there s some bounce in the wkt

1st 4 good balls...

 

[Rana]

lovely delivery once again

 

[KA$H]

there is movement - all balls so far into teh batsman

 

[TaxiDriver]

all those watching the game........man you're so lucky. keep us updated pleae. and please take note and highlight any dirty behaviour from the english boys....

 

[Rana]

4

 

[darkmoon459]

Madian over from sami.

 

[Rana]

that boundary spoilt such a good over

 

[darkmoon459]

oops spoke to soon

 

[KA$H]

not really a loose delivery hit for 4. fullish and seaming in.

 

[zMario]

4

 

[Rana]

gul sharing!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Sami concedes 4 runs off the last ball. Sami seems to be bowling well within himself - ie, not flat out.

 

[Rana]

2 more runs

 

[Rana]

nice delivery

 

[Rana]

single to strauss

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

One has to be realistic. With this inept line up we should get a good spanking. There are 4 complete and utter passengers in this team, namely Butt, Iqbal, Sami and Kaneria. Taufeeq, Gul and Nazir may try hard but do not possess the class. So Pakistan start with a handicap of 7 players.

 

[KA$H]

Sami bowling against the slope - ie uphill

 

[Rana]

good bounce

 

[darkmoon459]

why is that there is no show of Energy from Pakistani players ,come on guys wake up,its an important test match.

 

[Rana]

sami hasnt touched 84mph yet

 

[KA$H]

maybe nazir shud have opened instead of Gul- he is a swing bowler

 

[Rana]

7-0 after 2

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow both Razzaq and Afridi dropped. And Faisal Iqbal kept? Don't understand slections. But I guess we get to see Nazir...

 

[Rana]

cmon Sami man, lets get them!

 

[zMario]

Did anybody buy from Willow?

 

[Rana]

whyyyyyyyy thhhhhheeee hellllll issss kaneria at mid on!

 

[TaxiDriver]

It's only just started....

 

[Rana]

4

 

[KA$H]

short n wide - poor delivery from sami

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Smacked for 4 off Sami. Sami is really not looking very charged up in my opinion. Actually there isn't much of an attitude showing from the bowlers.

 

[Rana]

cmon guys swing the thing!

 

[darkmoon459]

Taxi Driver ,you can watch too ,I found a great streaming site to watch live on PC ,but will try to keep updating the match as it progresses.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

yar plz update scores... i can watch no electricity

 

[iZeeshan]

SLashed hard away for 4! Good shot...

 

[the_game]

Did anybody buy from Willow?

Link not working Mario?

 

[iZeeshan]

yar plz update scores... i can watch no electricity

how u on the comouter?

 

[KA$H]

sami lookin as tho he's stuttering in his run up - doesnt look confident at all - frowning away

 

[Rana]

ball kept a bit low that time

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Waqar Younis and the Pakistani camp are trying their best to turn Sami into a pie throwing trundler. If he had a asset it was his pace now that is being stripped off him.

 

[zMario]

Link not working Mario?

Nope, can you believe this?! I paid $200, and it doesn't work!

 

[Rana]

4 again!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Another 4 off Sami, legside ball.

 

[TaxiDriver]

i'm beginning to boil already...gotta keep telling myself that it has only just started!

 

[asifp]

why give the new ball to Mohd Sami , Shahid Nazir is aweomse with the new ball

 

[Rana]

well fielded

 

[pak4life]

samiiiiiiiiiii

i stil dont think we will get 10 wickets

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

I'd suggest Inzi replace Sami with Nazir. Sami is wasting the new ball imo.

 

[darkmoon459]

God sami is bowling like a club cricketer ,does he know its a test match .

 

[KA$H]

short n wide from Gul - good feilindg from Butt

 

[iZeeshan]

10 runs off the over, good shot by Strauss for 4

Sami being useless as always...

 

[Rana]

got away with that

 

[TaxiDriver]

kunjar..haraam khor.

 

[iZeeshan]

Well fielded...by Salman Butt? Wow...

 

[b0wld]

2 4's of sami's 2nd over...he's bowling crap

why did they drop razzak...these conditions suit his bowling perfectly...

 

[Rana]

ooo i thaught that was bowled!

 

[KA$H]

good bounce of a length

 

[Rana]

lovely delivery!!!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Sami is bowling around the same pace as Gul. What's the use of having Sami bowl at Gul's pace?

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

brilliant ball by gul

 

[darkmoon459]

Nice del ,swings away from the left hander ,keep up Mr Gul

 

[Rana]

well bowled gul!

 

[iZeeshan]

Good delivery from Gul...

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Nice bowling from Gul.

 

[b0wld]

3.4 Gul to Trescothick, no run, great delivery, seaming away after pitching on good length and almost took the outside edge!

now tats more like it

 

[Rana]

ooo another lovely delivery!

 

[KA$H]

plenty of bounce there

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

and another good un

sami needs to keep it tight

 

[darkmoon459]

Nice over from GUL ,using the seam nicely.

 

[Salman]

good over from Gul.

 

[Big Mac]

Umar Gul looking good at least, if Sami bowls more boundary balls this over then I'd like to see Nazir being given a go with the new ball and see if he can get the same kind of movement.

 

[Rana]

please take sami of for nazir!! noooooooo he stays!!

 

[b0wld]

how many of u think this is Sami's last TOUR with the pakistan cricket TEAM

 

[Rana]

well bowled!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Better bowling from Sami in the first two balls of the over.

 

[asifp]

Umar Gul to Trescothick, no run, much better delivery on Trescothick’s off stump who shoulders arms. Ball bent back just a touch. There is plenty of encouragement for the bowlers out there, if they can find their lines

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

how u on the comouter?

laptop helps!

 

[zMario]

Sigh...

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Again Sami goes legside and concedes 2 runs.
