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

[the_love_machine]

Brilliant shot by Pietersen. Starting to show his true colours now, after those moments of uncertainty.

 

[iZeeshan]

And it really bothers me that KP was given two fucking chances by the fucking umpires.

 

[Bilsher007]

Just back from jumaah prayer about 15 mins ago, england should have been 5 down had umpires hair and billy not cheated. Shahid nazir has been si impressive MASHALLAH, everytime he has come up to bowl he's looked like getting a wicket. Peitersen is'nt looking comfortable against shahid nazir at all. The last over by nazir was good, had the second ball not been a no ball peitersen was on his way to the pavillion.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i think kaneria forgot how to ball....he doesnt flight the ball anymore...so flat....wats wrong with thim

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

could collingwood be heading towards a 50+ avg?

 

[the_love_machine]

Guys, how fast is Nazir bowling?

 

[zMario]

Cmon nazir!

 

[Bilsher007]

Pakistan needs two quick wickets, collingwood and bell preferably.INSHALLAH

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Guys, how fast is Nazir bowling?

low 80's but that isnt important its the movement he is getting

 

[Nauman]

Kami misses the ball again.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

play and miss by collingwood as kami screams AY YAAR

 

[bounced]

low 80's

 

[iZeeshan]

Good ball, and Kami missed it. Not good keeping.

 

[zMario]

Geez, I thought Collingwood edged it and Kamran dropped it )

 

[Big Mac]

And it really bothers me that KP was given two fucking chances by the fucking umpires.

Missed the start of this session, what was the second chance?

 

[zMario]

play and miss by collingwood as kami screams AY YAAR

I screamed too, I thought he edged it

 

[Nauman]

Missed the start of this session, what was the second chance?

lbw of Kaneria

 

[Bilsher007]

I want peitersen on strike, he looks very uncomfortable against nazir.

 

[UJ]

Missed the start of this session, what was the second chance?

LBW off Kaneria...looked out

 

[zMario]

LBW off Kaneria...looked out

It was out.

 

[zMario]

I want peitersen on strike, he looks very uncomfortable against nazir.

I agree

 

[iZeeshan]

Awkward defense from Colly. What happened there?

 

[Big Mac]

LBW off Kaneria...looked out

Ah, I heard that on the radio in the car. They said he had got quite a big stride in which saved him, will have to wait for some highlights later

 

[the_love_machine]

low 80's but that isnt important its the movement he is getting

Hmmmm, LOL pretty starnge coming from a Pakistani

 

[Bilsher007]

Peitersen, collingwood and bell are keys to big score for england. Pakistan needs to get especially collingwood and bell out quickly.

I am really upset seeing kaneria bowl, he looks so innocous. What's wrong with him ?. Has he forgotten to bowl ?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well bowled by dani and agn collingwood getting beaten in the flight

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lofted sweep by kp to end the over with a single

partnership now 49

England 159-3

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

superb shot by kp off nazir

50 partnership is up

kp onto 42

163-3

 

[Bilsher007]

Pakistan must set a trap for collingwood, set a short fine leg fielder for him when kaneria comes on to ball again after nazir. He likes sweeping so kaneria should look to lure him into the last shot he played off kaneria.

 

[iZeeshan]

Just beautifully driven for 4.

 

[Nauman]

two fours by KP and I am off, I have had enough of this cheating.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o noes inzi moves into extra cover as another four for kp occurs through midon

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

kaineria fielding is poor

 

[zMario]

We need a wicket desperately now

 

[iZeeshan]

ANother wonderful drive for 4. Pietersin looking set now.

U DAMN HAIR

 

[Salman]

Good stop by Moyo

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

end for 41st over as it is time for drinks

168-3

 

[zMario]

Well, after drinks, I hope we get tons of wickets like last time

 

[Bilsher007]

David llyod saying that peitersen is due a big score. Yes sure he is, the guy was out twice! Peitersen should have had the decency to walk off when he was first out caught off nazir by kammi. So much for sportsman spirit.

Absolute shame on you peitersen.

 

[the_love_machine]

Along with better umpires, what Pakistan need right now is a Warne or McGrath (to tigh down the bastsmen). That's what makes us the best side in the world!

 

[iZeeshan]

Aah...Pieterson will destroy us. He was out on 0.

 

[the Great Khan]

great we get shafted again and again..we need 3 wickets..unfortunatley i dont know where theyre gonna come from!! bring on sami...im sure he'll get a wicket..NOTTTT!!

 

[Bilsher007]

Kaneria certainly off colour. Collingwood is easily picking on him and peitersen now set after cheating of umpires is also milking the bowlers.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kp on 49 and on strike

 

[zMario]

Whats going on in crowd - so many Boos...

 

[shan]

so another bad day and test ahead of us

 

[iZeeshan]

Why are they chanting defense?

 

[Bilsher007]

Nazir bowl that in dipper / sharp inswinger to peitersen and remove his middle stump !

 

[iZeeshan]

so another bad day and test ahead of us

Nah man nah! This match is still tied. The wickets would be nice.

 

[UJ]

50 for KP....

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

pulled for 4 and that is his 50

 

[Bilsher007]

Peitersen should'nt be given short deliveries. Huge mistake by nazir, nazir should stick to his line.

 

[ShowStopper]

England 171/3 (42.2 ov) Good Lord they are going at over 4 an over thanks toSami.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

holding questioning whether pakistani's walk when they are out

 

[TaxiDriver]

Although we're not in a favourable possition....I am much calmer now.

c'mon Pakistan...lets get them out.

 

[Bilsher007]

Michael holding you can shut up ! Yes pakistanis have'nt applauded quite rightly cause he was out twice, stop talking rubbish as alwaysl as you do holding.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

tucked away for a single by colly

 

[zMario]

Michael holding you can shut up ! Yes pakistanis have'nt applauded quite rightly cause he was out twice, stop talking rubbish as alwaysl as you do holding.

)

Why Kaneria bowling on their pads, just as bad as Sami

 

[TaxiDriver]

KP's 50 doesn't count for me. very unsportsmanlike. Felt the same about collingwood in the other game.

 

[ShowStopper]

what can we do we only have three bowler to bowl with. May be bring in Younis or butt for an over or two do the trick

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

flicked for 4 to kp...

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

can i make a perdiction....england 307 for 4 end of day 1....

523 9d england first innings...we have lost it....call it our bad luck...or watever...but these guys are set now

 

[zMario]

Cmon Danish, get him out

 

[zMario]

Oh great, another 4

 

[Bilsher007]

Inzamam must take kaneria off, he looks totally impotent. Did anyone hear what holding said on sky sports ?

 

[iZeeshan]

Another 4. Just makes me so mad when I see him hit runs!

 

[TaxiDriver]

excellent to read on cricinfo that the pakistani's refusew to applaud kp's 50.

edit: I bet the british media make much more of that than the kp cheating incident.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Pakistan for some reason objected to having the appeals against LBWs etc. So we can't complain too much about the decisions that went against us, even though Eng should have been at least 4 down at lunch.

 

[azcali78]

Pakistan should complian about Hair to ICC saying we dont want him to umpire in our games. He is really really baised to England. Btw isnt he lives in England now, how can he be neutral umpire??????

England 182/3 (44.4 ov)

 

[Salman]

get gul back on while Nazir is still going..

 

[iZeeshan]

4 down man. Who's the 5th batsman? Colly hasn't given a chance yet.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

You mean 5 down

How do you get 5 down? You can't count the same batsman potentially being out twice.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

maybe inzi should have a ball here )

 

[iZeeshan]

Danish coming round the wicket!

 

[APOCALYPSE]

Pietersen is very exciting to watch and is like an Afridi with brain cells, if Afridi could be more selective then he could be as effective as pietersen

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

DANISH useless KANERIA.....no need to let him bowl here...we have another sami on our hands

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

danish kaneria...strike bowlers my behind
