Eng v Pak: 2nd Test: Day 1 [Update Thread]

[IMMY69]

we can only judge how badly we batted after seeing englands performance with the bat...so now lets see what occurs

 

[Gasherbrum]

funny how many trolls crawl out of the woodwork and show their true colours when the boys don't do well.

quite sad so far but lets see how they get on with the ball. don't see england doing as poorly as we've done and we'll probably have to bat out almost 3 days to try and save this one from here.

 

[UJ]

get to zuhr namaz peeps n pray..jk

I've already prayed

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ironically Afridi atleast got into double figures Stop the bashing guys, he achieved what 7 other batsmen couldnt!

Disgraceful performance from us. 119 all out is a pathetic score from a team that is no.2 in the world!

 

[banana_246]

even the best of lineups can have their bad days. If you are india its every time you play outside the subcontinent

Nah not really! Tell me the last time we got bowled out for 120?

 

[zMario]

When Sky Sports commentator said we'll be back with the wickets, I've shut the TV off, tell me when we start bowling guys

 

[iZeeshan]

So, let see what Pakistani bowlers can do now. Should be a good outing for the bowlers...or so it seems. What I would hate to see though would beseeing England on major defense.

 

[infamous9383]

get to zuhr namaz peeps n pray..jk

its not time in us

 

[BroskiBeat]

You forgot to put INSHALLAH at the end

i am not worrying about pak cricket?.

I AM ENJOYING IT )

WEST INDIES HAVE THE GREATEST HISTORY IN CRICKET.....SOMETHING

PAKISTAN WILL NEVER COME CLOSE TO )

Thats ok, West Indies will never ever become good as us again. Heck they can't even win a test series ) unless its Ban or Zim!

Keep living in the past, but whenever you feel free...join us in the present.

I respect W.I history but at the moment its a joke ) )

Something Pak will not come close to? lol.

 

[caribbean fan]

Harmison 6 For 19 Of 13 Overs.......pak Better Than That? )

YOU DO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

 

[inzidabest]

Afridi batted as if Pak were 306/6 and the bowlers will bowl as if Pak are 419 all out

 

[Billy]

Pakistan should look to Gul now.

It's bounce, not pace, that's the key on this track.

 

[Uzzy]

Nah not really! Tell me the last time we got bowled out for 120?

Mumbai 2006 100 all out ) )

 

[Bilsher007]

Better than Harmison, Hoggard, Si Jones and Flintoff?

Pakistan's first line of attack of shoaib akhter, rana naved ul hasan, mohhamed asif, danish kaneria and shahid afridi is more than handy than englands's first line of attack of harmision, hoggard, s jones and flintoff.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Better than Harmison, Hoggard, Si Jones and Flintoff?

Yes much better!

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

[the Great Khan]

[banana_246]

You forgot to put INSHALLAH at the end

[moiez_no1]

Sami will do well, I believe in him LOL. Some flukey wickets coming Paks way!

hope they dont drop their chnaces and fu.cking drop imran farthat and fasial iqbal

 

[zMario]

So are we bowling yet?

 

[sneekysneeky]

remind me who harmison got 7 for 12 against hmm?

 

[Amir]

Pakistan should look to Gul now.

It's bounce, not pace, that's the key on this track.

The Ashes one is right!!! No seriously, he brings upa good point, even Sami can produce the odd surprise bouncer every 60 balls. So if England see that miracle ball off every 60 balls, tehy should be fine.

 

[the Great Khan]

yeah HISTORY...thats where its gonna remain...lol..make sure you keep those old videos..thats the best its gonna be for the windies..lol..

 

[Uzzy]

AGREED )

YOU SAID IT NOT ME

[banana_246]

Mumbai 2006 100 all out ) )

I was talking about outside of the sub-continent.

 

[Amir]

remind me who harmison got 7 for 12 against hmm?

And at THEIR HOME )

 

[Nauman]

Rob H and Whippy would be laughing their heads off right now

 

[moiez_no1]

Well tehy earned the right too. Plus how coem the trolls come out when Pak do bad but not good?(And notice how they are not even English...just two teams we have beaten in the past year)

 

[zMario]

Oh good, FoWs are almost done

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Usman Chadda]

[infamous9383]

[inzidabest]

He's just voicing his opinion

 

[invincible]

Bad day for pak ... i was hoping to see a good innings from classy player YK ... one wrong shot and that was it ... he had to go ... funny way cricket works ... on any other day - YK would have gone on to make a century ... he looked so much at ease ...

some points to be noted by pak ...

1) situation was very similar to karachi '06 ... but the way kamran akmal played in that match saved them ... this goes to show how bad the decision of sending him up the order was ...

2) there was a lot of complacency shown by the batsman especially by yousuf and faisal iqbal against spin which cost them their wickets ...

3) inzi once again proving that on conditions suitable for bowlers, he looks doubtful to play a big innings ...

4) more concerns regarding the opening batsmen and the lower middle order ...

a bad display of batting by pak ... apart from younis - no one really looked to perform well on the pitch which was pretty clearly a bowling one but no where near a batting-grave yard ...

all in all - they can hope for some similar performance by english which i highly doubt - the batting skills of trescothick, strauss and pieterson is hard to beat with mediocre bowlers ...

 

[zMario]

Come on Sami, get them out and I'll give you a hair cut

 

[Daoud]

Have you read Isha then UJ?

Carribean fan, you are treading on ice. Keep it up and you'll only be able to read whats going on here

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

sami needs to go flat out here at england and try his best to blow em out

 

[iZeeshan]

Pak men coming out. Let's see...

Come on Sami and Come on Gul!!! Come on boys!!!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Well tehy earned the right too. Plus how coem the trolls come out when Pak do bad but not good?(And notice how they are not even English...just two teams we have beaten in the past year)

Ignore the trolls. They have waited for this to happen for a long time, so they are just taking out their frustrations

 

[infamous9383]

england openers out to bat

 

[Bilsher007]

Caribbean fan can you put some intelligent insight upon the 2000 series in west indies between west indies and pakistan ? Can you tell us what happened in the final test match ? how jimmy adams and courtney walsh were out alteast 5/6 times ? In reality pakistan won that series 1-0 and not west indies whose umpires blatantly cheated to help the home team.

Afridi could have shown better temperament. INSHALLAH i am going to pray zuhr namaaz and pray for pakistan team's success.

Sami bowling to trescothick, wicket coming !

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]
