[jackal786]

This is murder. 141 runs before lunch for the loss of 2 wickets!!

 

[inzidabest]

You guys talking of winning. Its gonna be another Innings defeat. And I hope Inzamam is kicked of captaincy after this series.

and I hope someone throws rotten egg and pakoras all over your face

 

[SameerAhmad]

I hope Sami walks out of Pakistan cricket for many years

 

[Rana]

I hope Sami walks out of Pakistan cricket for many years

for ever

 

[Noman]

Somebody better murder this umpire

i will do that.., just wait and see

 

[inzidabest]

How can a specialist spinner bowl around the wicket to a no 9 batsman. That shameful

 

[Rana]

cmon pakistan, we need to let gul get his 5

 

[UJ]

The openers will have to bat well. We need to see off the new ball with particular attention given to Hoggard who will be quite effective in these conditions.

Then the middle order needs to come to the party...

 

[Uzzy]

Im willing to bet Butt wont make it past 5 runs.

 

[UJ]

Taufeeq is the man to watch out for...if he can get through that early period - he has the potential to score big!

 

[Rana]

Im willing to bet Butt wont make it past 5 runs.

see look uzzy, i was posting negetively because if pakistan get creamed in this match again, atleast i wont be so depressed. But ppl like zMario dont understand these things and start calling you trolls!

how sad is that, wers the fairness in pp for posting your real thaughts!

What is "thaughts"

 

[Rana]

What is "thaughts"

watever the spellin, u know what im talking about, dont try bieng clever and all that!

 

[shan]

another poor test for all of us

 

[shan]

we need to bat 2 full days which will be imposible

 

[jackal786]

Leeds pitch is difficult to bat on day 1, very easy to bat on day 2. Pakistan somehow missed the trick of not bowling them out when there was juice on the surface coupled with horrendous umpiring decisions. But overall bowlers were not unplayable.

 

[zMario]

we need to bat 2 full days which will be imposible

Alright, we need over 600 runs (get a good lead, we can bowl aggressively then)

This is some optimism but...

Salman - 100
Taufeeq - 100
Younis - 100
Yousuf - 100
Inzamam - 100
Faisal - 100
Kamran - 50
Nazir - 10
Gul - 2
Sami - 0
Kaneria - 1

One of our batsman (including Kamran) can fail, and all the others must succeed

It'll be easier if somebody high like an opener (not too likely) or Younis or Yousuf score a double, releasing some pressure off the others

 

[zMario]

2 minutes to resumption of play, and I hope we have a game plan out there now

 

[Uzzy]

2 minutes to resumption of play, and I hope we have a game plan out there now

Wouldn't be surprised to see a continuation of where they left off.

They are not as talented. This is our second string attack but they did bowl out England.

 

[jackal786]

2 minutes to resumption of play, and I hope we have a game plan out there now

TO be fair to pakistan, English tailenders dont really have any game plan so that pakistan can have a game plan! They are just swinging the bat as hard as possible left and right. Fun could be over in 2 balls or it can drag for another 10 overs.

 

[inzidabest]

2 minutes to resumption of play, and I hope we have a game plan out there now

too late mate. Its all on the batting line up now.
Plans should have been made before the start of the test match

 

[Amjid Javed]

harmison and mahmood back out middle.

inzi dragging himself out with rest of team, is this any sort of example to bloody show?

 

[zMario]

I hope England don't declare again )

[Rana]

44444444

 

[zMario]

Come on Gul!!!

[Amjid Javed]

4 more down to 3rd man

50 partnership of just 31 balls... what a joke!

 

[infamous9383]

gul is bowling well though

 

[jackal786]

England is scoring runs at 4.17 which gives them lot of time to have a go at pakistan batting.

[infamous9383]
