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

[ali_ed2006]

i dont see Pakistan winning this game now..its a draw or england win

 

[nafajafam]

we only went in with 4 specialist bowlers today. utter rot !!

 

[samisback]

ghanta bhai has played really well this tour.

slams nafa..lafa , how you doing bhai ?

safe to say, pathetic bowling, captaincy, planning by pakistan yet again ?

 

[iZeeshan]

Inzi off the field. Now YK should take charge and show his qaptaani skills.

 

[asifp]

ok now i full expect Nazir to get the new ball , hopefully YK can get it right

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Misfield from Yousuf.

 

[samisback]

we only went in with 4 specialist bowlers today. utter rot !!

tell me about it, i reckon they want to draw this one, hence went with 1 extra batter .

inzi really is a defensive captain i must admit it today.

this might even cost us this test match .

 

[iZeeshan]

Great fielding.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

ok new ball is DUE!

 

[iZeeshan]

The new ball is due. Will Younis take it?

 

[samisback]

nazir takes the new ball, but he looks knackered

 

[iZeeshan]

Nazir is on, but was the new ball taken?

 

[asifp]

good Kaptani YK bhai , give Nazir the ball I know he is tired, but that thanks to Inzi bhai

 

[samisback]

actually hasnt taken the new ball yet, but will do after a couple of delvieries i reckon .

 

[asifp]

okay Hair time for you to give us two free wickets

 

[invincible]

i still dont see why pak continues with inzi as captain when they have a gr8 one in YK ... he brings in shahid nazir with the old ball to see if there is some reverse swing and if i am not wrong the lack of r/s should make him go for the new ball ...

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Shaheed Nazir bowling.

 

[Amjid Javed]

New ball has been taken but shahid nazir looks very tired, hes bowled superbly today for the team.

 

[nafajafam]

slams nafa..lafa , how you doing bhai ?

safe to say, pathetic bowling, captaincy, planning by pakistan yet again ?

wsalam sleepy...peepy.. doing better than our team.

so this could be our first series win after to long in england, eh?

 

[asifp]

OMG HE IS REALLY TIRED, inzi gotta realize u gotta use fast bolwer in 5-6 over burts, cant let them go for 10 overs straight

 

[samisback]

new ball taken.

 

[iZeeshan]

okay Hair time for you to give us two free wickets

Even then something has to happen for him to give us the free wickets

 

[iZeeshan]

New ball taken.

 

[iZeeshan]

66 and 76 from Nazir. He is tired like anything!

 

[samisback]

wsalam sleepy...peepy.. doing better than our team.

so this could be our first series win after to long in england, eh?

it depends on what you mean by "our"

im waiting for sami, he has been expensive but i havent seen him bowl yet, i think he can run through the lower order (hopefully) , lets hope they dont give it to umer Gul now...

 

[asifp]

Even then something has to happen for him to give us the free wickets

well ball goes past the bat give it out , caues he is already checking some chick out on the ground anyways.

 

[iZeeshan]

Gul to share ne ball. ARGH!

 

[Amjid Javed]

appeal for lbw, not given.

unlikely to be given even if it was plumb!

 

[samisback]

big shout given not out.

 

[iZeeshan]

Big Appeal. Now there was a chance for a free wicket.

 

[asifp]

see Doctorve here had a chance to redeem himself , why cant he makea horrible decisoin in Pakistans favor

 

[iZeeshan]

Well played, moving off the seam.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gul bowling a good line, awful slog from read but survives.

 

[iZeeshan]

Who's on for Inzi?

 

[asifp]

inzi cant belive his patta Sami does not have the new ball

 

[iZeeshan]

We need to get a wicket before the ball gets old. Or everything will be gone.

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 runs for read thru backward point, sami gallops off afta ball like a donkey and just stops it!

 

[samisback]

[samisback]

come on boys we need a wicket here bad.

 

[ali_ed2006]

so predict england's score...

i say 475.

 

[iZeeshan]

Attempted yorker gone bad...

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

calling sami a donkey isnt going over board really...u should listen to the words i am calling these losers....no application...droping catches left and right...half the bowling is injured runing after money...pathetic

 

[Amjid Javed]

I dont need to say out about hair or doctrove or crappy umpiring @ headingly!

i still remember the disgusting cheating which went on in 1992!

 

[iZeeshan]

I'll say 515.

 

[Amjid Javed]

another LBW shout and again not out.

wait till pakistan bat and finger will be straight up!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both talking nonsense as per usual on commentary!

 

[iZeeshan]

Another free wicket chance gone to waste.

[Amjid Javed]

Cover drive from bell for 3.

england will get 500+ here!

 

[Awesome Anjum]

More free runs for the batsmen.

 

[iZeeshan]

Great slash through the covers. Bell looking for his 3rd 100 in his 3rd test.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Eng 338/4

5 overs left.. pakistan need 2 wickets here!

 

[iZeeshan]

Its a shame. England go down 4...if Bell can leaave here. Even Read would do, at this point I guess..

Eng 338/4

[zMario]

Toooo many easy singles....

 

[iZeeshan]

Never at this point in this series have Pak looked on top. NEVER!!!

 

[zMario]

[zMario]

Oh dear, Sami is back

 

[iZeeshan]

[Amjid Javed]

gul 3/72 has been a good effort.
