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

[Amjid Javed]

Moyo needs to be careful with this glide shot, its high risk and only worth 1 run at best!

 

[Amjid Javed]

I dont like this poking and proding at the spinner, play these guys like u wud kumble or harbajhan!

single and 50 for YK! well played!

 

[Bailan]

is it just me or are MY and YK slowing down the game's pace .... so that YK can get his 50?

 

[iZeeshan]

Finally gets a single for his 50.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moyo latches onto half tracker and gets 4

 

[KB]

Not often you see Yosuuf pulling a spinner but he did it well there.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 152/2

 

[iZeeshan]

4 runs for Yousuf. Pulled away, will relax a bit.

 

[ShowStopper]

50 up for younis well played Mashallah.

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK 50* MY 55*

both still have to go on and get big tons.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Saj mahmood back now.

 

[Gasherbrum]

is it just me or are MY and YK slowing down the game's pace .... so that YK can get his 50?

just some tight bowling with fielders in the right place.

 

[shan]

aren't we playing to slow now?

 

[Bailan]

fair enough

 

[ShowStopper]

Hoggard goes off for a rest, and Mahmood takes over at the Kirkstall Lane End

What the Hell with these Eng Players.

 

[Gasherbrum]

england 515 pakistan 155. just need to move the numbers around a bit. piece of cake this.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cracking shot for 4 off legs.

Pak 159/2

 

[Gasherbrum]

lovely on drive. on the pads again and moyo has played those very well all day.

 

[ShowStopper]

england 515 pakistan 155. just need to move the numbers around a bit. piece of cake this.

Sure is Bro

 

[Amjid Javed]

aren't we playing to slow now?

No i think we need to bat atleast another 3 sessions, if its slow then so be it!

 

[shan]

another 200 runs partnership and we are safe to set a target for england to win by a innings

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 160/2

a crucial hour left now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for moyo past 1st slip.

 

[shan]

Pak 160/2

a crucial hour left now.

still one hour left? or just 25 mins?

 

[Amjid Javed]

not seen YK use his feet or sweep against spinners, must be a 1st!

 

[ShowStopper]

40.6 Mahmood to Mohammad Yousuf, FOUR, nicely played off the legs, driven through midwicket, scorching shot and Bell can’t keep it in

come guys Mashallah

 

[iZeeshan]

Paakistan are batting quite well. They just need to continue. But yes the RR has gone down.

 

[shan]

chieterson should learn from moyo and yk how to bat without cheating

 

[Gasherbrum]

i think they've got the sweep well covered with fielders and with the ball spinning across them, both batsmen have, for the most part, stayed put in the crease. both have been playing down the wrong line against monty, i feel.

 

[aggarwald]

Holding says "Monty is creating more problems and turn than Kaneria could."

 

[Amjid Javed]

still one hour left? or just 25 mins?

Play can go onto 1830 uk time. and there are still 14 overs left so its about 50 mins to go!

 

[shan]

Holding says "Monty is creating more problems and turn than Kaneria could."

anybody can creat more problems then kaneria

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single down to 3rd man.

Pak 162/2 - still 353 behind.

 

[iZeeshan]

Good cut for a single.

 

[Schiller]

Suddenly, Monty is the one to be feared off. One thing I have never liked about our team is their propensity to make mountains out of molehills.

That aside, what shoddy piece of bowling earlier. Lynch them, I say, Lynch their lily hides

 

[Amjid Javed]

anybody can creat more problems then kaneria

even taufeeq/butt got more turn when they bowled

 

[Gasherbrum]

excitable bunch, this crowd.

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for moyo behind square.

 

[Schiller]

Kan has been very ineffective. Haven't watched so not sure why but somehow, i feel, Inzimam should be blamed.

 

[Amjid Javed]

almost a stupid run out!

moyo what u doing!

 

[Schiller]

jackass

 

[Schiller]

what was he doing aj?

 

[shan]

runout is the last thing we want now

 

[Amjid Javed]

two for moyo off a misfield. now a single behind sqaure.

Pak 166/2

 

[iZeeshan]

Misfield by Colly for double.

 

[Amjid Javed]

what was he doing aj?

straight drive went past stumps and fielder picked up and then he decided to run. was silly.

in end all was ok!

 

[iZeeshan]

England fielding is top quality for the most part today.

 

[Gasherbrum]

the playboy bunnies are being booted out, it looks like.

 

[shan]

things looking good for Pak but still a long way to go

 

[Amjid Javed]

schiller,

nice pic, i remember ijaz scoring a brutal ton in 1996 at headingley, he also smacked 20 in one over (5x 4s) off chris lewis.

 

[Schiller]

playboy you said gasher?

 

[iZeeshan]

Slower one by Saj. Good delivery.

 

[Has]

How many overs left before?

 

[Schiller]

schiller,

nice pic, i remember ijaz scoring a brutal ton in 1996 at headingley, he also smacked 20 in one over (5x 4s) off chris lewis.

Thats why I have this legend in my avatar aj. None but Ijaz. What a player! yeah baby yeah - austin powers

 

[shan]

13 overs left

 

[Amjid Javed]

Traditionally the headingly wicket is hard to bat on 1st up and then 2nd/3rd inns are easier.

Sadly we let england get 515, i hope we can get sumwer close!

 

[Gasherbrum]

monty was appealing for something there. not sure what.

 

[Schiller]

we won't.

 

[Schiller]

monty was appealing for something there. not sure what.

appealing for old hairy tendencies to rise again?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moyo keeps trying 2 play cut shot off stumps! why! there are 2 men around bat for that!

 

[iZeeshan]

Quite exceesive appealing from Monty. Very useless

 

[Gasherbrum]

playboy you said gasher?

yeah, a bunch of filthy looking men dressed up in bunny gear. disturbing.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 166/2 - MY 67* YK 52*

12 overs left...

 

[KA$H]

dont want a silly wkt falling here

 

[Gasherbrum]

Moyo keeps trying 2 play cut shot off stumps! why! there are 2 men around bat for that!

and a backward point in case he does manage to hit it well.

 

[iZeeshan]

If we can cut the lead to 300 today, that would be awsome

 

[Has]

What the light like?

 

[Amjid Javed]

What the light like?

good i got energy saving light bulb in my room and can see pretty well

 

[iZeeshan]

Runs are coming very slowly for Pakistan...

 

[shan]

runs are as important as wickets so plz don't slow down

 

[iZeeshan]

Yorker tried, well dug out

 

[Somali Pirate]

schiller did you know ijaz smashed glenn mcgrath into the stands first over in an odi in australia

 

[Amjid Javed]

Harmison back now, come on boys see him off!

 

[iZeeshan]

Maiden. Quite a bit of respect for Saj.

 

[iZeeshan]

Harmison back on.

 

[Schiller]

schiller did you know ijaz smashed glenn mcgrath into the stands first over in an odi in australia

Now that I was unaware of. Why am I not surprised. His feats are here there and everywhere, like milk

 

[KA$H]

time 2 be vigilant

 

[Amjid Javed]

schiller did you know ijaz smashed glenn mcgrath into the stands first over in an odi in australia

isnt that the game where pak were chasing 300+

ijaz got 20 odd off 12 balls and then razazq hit 5 fours off mcgrath in a row in same inns!

 

[Gasherbrum]

this will probably be the final test of the day for these two. play harmison out. lets hope they pass this one as well.

 

[iZeeshan]

Now that I was unaware of. Why am I not surprised. His feats are here there and everywhere, like milk

You mean Salim Malik?
