Day 2, 3rd Test; Pakistan vs England at Headingley

[Amjid Javed]

England 347/6 @ start of day 2.

Pakistan need early wickets and to bowl england out asap. England will look to get 400-450 atleast and then have a go at pakistan.

Pakistan need to show their spirit and need to fightback today.

 

[shan]

any news on Chieterson?

 

[m_sohail]

Pakistan need to show their spirit and need to fightback today.

Inzi needs to recapture some of that anger he displayed after the inside edge wasn't given yesterday...

 

[Salman_S]

Pieterson is going to come back with Bell this morning.......

 

[UmarMalik]

Is sami also retired hurt for the 2nd days play?

 

[easy_like_sunday]

i was at the game yesterday neone else go

 

[Salman_S]

Yah i've been dissapointed at the pak turn out in england. Last series had so many pak supporters, sea of green in the stands, flags, horns (though annoying).

I have yet to see a pak flag in the stand the whole series. If the ECB has banned flags it's absolutely discraceful.

 

[UmarMalik]

Oh Salman bhai, dont be disappointed.. we're PAKIZ.. the unpredictablezzz haha

 

[easy_like_sunday]

i went yest and it was disapointing there was no hooterz hardley ne noise and it was hot and put up english humour it was bobins mind u it wasnt all dat bad coz my tickets were free i migght go again on monday if match still on

 

[Salman_S]

I guess with no Shoaib, Asif the fans aren't interested.... maybe we will see a better showing in the ODI's.

 

[Billy]

Hopefully Ian Bell will get another ton and Strauss can declare on 465/9, with Bell on 110*.

That would take his average in this series to 354.

Or hopefully, Ian Bell and his men can all retire hurt so Pakistanis can see what Taufeeq Umar and Salman Butt wanna show..

Having all our players injured is probably the only way you guys could get a 50 opening stand these days

 

[UJ]

Eng already have a decent score on the board, so we need dismiss them ASAP!!

 

[UmarMalik]

Having all our players injured is probably the only way you guys could get a 50 opening stand these days

Please try to understand our position.. )

 

[m_sohail]

You obviously underestimate the ability of our openers to get out in the weirdest fashions....

 

[UmarMalik]

You obviously underestimate the ability of our openers to get out in the weirdest fashions....

Naah bro, i think he's right.. he's not under estimating us.. We're over estimating our openers.. which is a good thing but we need to look at the statistics before delivering our opinions.. Oh well, hope openers prove me wrong today..

 

[Billy]

Pakistan will make 376

You saw it here first.

 

[UJ]

Actually Im looking forward to see Taufeeq bat today.

It has been a long time coming!

 

[James]

Pakistan will make 376

You saw it here first.

Your predictions about the total innings score are always wrong though...

 

[Billy]

Your predictions about the total innings score are always wrong though...

I did get one right... once.

What are you predicting then?

 

[b0wld]

Is sami also retired hurt for the 2nd days play?

I WISH
hey can anybody bribe the hotel employee taking care of Sami to just break his legs or ribs or watever he wants so that v can 'sukh ka saaans lay lein'

 

[b0wld]

predictions

Eng: 450/AO

Pak: 200/5

 

[James]

predictions

Eng: 450/AO

Pak: 200/5

I agree. Bell and Pietersen go early followed by Monty tail end hitting, then 5 Monty wickets spread across the day including MoYo, Inzamam and Younis

 

[UmarMalik]

Pak: 200/5

[the_game]

If there is justice in this world, Chietersen will get out in the first five overs (preferably after being hit on the arm).

[darkmoon459]

It seems like that most of PPer's have already written pakistani's out of the game ,but remember its Pakistan we are talking about ,The come back specialists............Inshallah we will do it again.

England 425 / AO
Pakistan 325 / 6 at the E.O.D

 

[James]

The comeback specialists like at Old Trafford

 

[UmarMalik]

The comeback specialists like at Old Trafford

Who can forget that 2-0 win when England were SOOOO HAPPY from the Ashes win and we sent them home packing with a sad face..

lol, poor them.. Couldnt even enjoy their Christmas..

 

[the_game]

The comeback specialists like at Old Trafford

Somebody has developed an attitude all of a sudden!

 

[Amjid Javed]

please inzi do not give sami the ball 1st up or at all 2day or rest of the match.

hopefully nazir/gul will start the bowling this morning!

Make up for it by giving your wickets up, and bowl wide full tosses

[UmarMalik]

) You know why he said that? Just incase pak loses this test, they can atleast say that this pitch wasnt good for the bowlers..

[KA$H]

want to see some intensity from pak today. no negative plays

 

[iZeeshan]

So who will take the actual first over? Should be Nazir

 

[Amjid Javed]

shahid nazir to start @ other end.

hopefully he will bowl well like ysday!

 

[Fessal]

so whats the predictions? I hope nazir and gul bowl for a good spell

 

[zMario]

Darrell Hairs there still

I thought we tied him to a chair

 

[zMario]

Pietersens telling Kaneria to get himself a 100... ***?

 

[KA$H]

[Disco_Lemonade]

nice drive by chietersen... no run... 348-6

 

[UJ]

Akmal doesn't take it cleanly

 

[KA$H]

[shan]

we should get chieterson out quickly
