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

[His_Excellence_]

From Cricinfo.
10.3 Mohammad Sami to Strauss, no run, getter wider as the over progresses

hmm!!!!!!!

 

[zMario]

Hmmm, can Razzaq get a wicket?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Abdul Razzaq to continue to bavarchi

 

[Billy]

Hmmm, can Razzaq get a wicket?

Quite possibly.. but they need to hurry up and get Kaneria on there before England get too many runs.

 

[IMMY69]

England have too strong a batting line-up to be intimidated by our bowling attack

actually with jones in bad form and without plunkett they have a longer tail then at lords...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzaq needs to get cook to play

 

[Gunner786]

razzaq can run through them too

india,sri lanka

 

[CricketJunoon]

Abdul Razzaq to Cook, no run, Razzaq is struggling to find his line to left handers. Last over he was all leg side, this time its outside off (cric info)

 

[the Great Khan]

sami just isnt good enough...bring on danii and keep razzaq operating on the one end..

 

[infamous9383]

41 for 1 the game running away from pakistan

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

12 overs done

41-1

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

gul is back to replace sami

 

[umarbeast]

I don't mind losing this game as long as Sami is kicked out of the team.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good pull shot for 4 by strauss

 

[Usman Chadda]

Gul spanked by Strauss

 

[infamous9383]

the ball hit some lady

 

[whyhkk]

i think we should bring kaneria in pretty quickly

 

[Usman Chadda]

England 45/1

How are we going to get the other 9 wickets

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I don't mind losing this game as long as Sami is kicked out of the team.

you know i really do not like these type of comments. We need to back whatever XI we have and it really it is not Sami's fault he could've easily had 2 wickers by now.

 

[whyhkk]

these "fast" bowlers are bowling too wide

 

[IMMY69]

the ball hit some lady

as long she isnt fat and is not singing!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

as long she isnt fat and is not singing!!!!

well at least she isnt singing )

 

[IMMY69]

come on the paks!!!!!!

u can do this boys!!!

 

[IMMY69]

come on danny boy!!!!

 

[zMario]

well at least she isnt singing )

)

 

[infamous9383]

kaneria into the attack here starts the english collapase

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

danish is on

 

[umarbeast]

was there a drop catch ???

 

[zMario]

Woohoo, Kanerias on!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Kaneria on now. Interesting period now for Pakistan. If he doesnt strike, I have no idea who will! An ordinary spinner like Panesar picked 3 wickets today...lets see what Dani does

 

[UJ]

was there a drop catch ???

Yes, Imran "drop it like its hot" Farhat at it again

 

[cinderella]

Yes, Imran "drop it like its hot" Farhat at it again

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

49-1 at the end of the over by danish

 

[whyhkk]

even though afridi played like crap he did score the third highest score in the innings

 

[Usman Chadda]

4 runs off the first over from Kaneria

 

[zMario]

even though afridi played like crap he did score the third highest score in the innings

)

True!

 

[iZeeshan]

Score? Any more dropped catches?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

who is the chashmay wala beside bob chacha?

 

[umarbeast]

Pitch seems fine to me

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is crap bowling, not making the batsmen play

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Score? Any more dropped catches?

still 49-1 and no drops...yet....

 

[zMario]

Eng 49/1

 

[zMario]

still 49-1 and no drops...yet....

or rather, not anymore yet...

 

[umarbeast]

49-1 and finally Gul gets a ball on the right line

 

[alybaba]

I guess that marble slab really worked wonders

 

[Daoud]

Yes, Imran "drop it like its hot" Farhat at it again

Tell me you're joking, jokey mcjokerson

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

end of the over and that is tea

49-1

 

[zMario]

Now Umar is bowling well, right line now

 

[zMario]

Now its Tea!

I'm going to bed now cause this is stupid.

 

[umarbeast]

Tea Time

 

[infamous9383]

much needed tea time for Pakistan

 

[umarbeast]

Why isn't Sami bowling with his full run up.

 

[Usman Chadda]

England in quite a good position

49/1 in 15 overs

Strauss 29*
Cook 5*

Sami 1/16 (wkt of Trescothick)

 

[Usman Chadda]

Why isn't Sami bowling with his full run up.

Because he is bored of it I guess

 

[umarbeast]

Hey has anybody realized how weak of a batting linup England have?

 

[iZeeshan]

And its tea. Session, and the day so far belong to England. Pak have to pick up at lease 2 more wickets today to be somehwat satisfied. But 3 or 4 would be great.

 

[umarbeast]

Steve Harms Pakistan lol

 

[Daoud]

Why isn't Sami bowling with his full run up.

OR a better question, why is Sami still bowling

 

[jonnyboy21]

write off harmy at ur peril, an amazing performance and an amazing team. If we get to 300 we will win the test.

 

[Usman Chadda]

write off harmy at ur peril, an amazing performance and an amazing team. If we get to 300 we will win the test.

Mixture of good bowling and pathetic, careless batting by us. Harmison was mostly spraying the ball around. The bounce was just too intimidating and that was the main reason why we collapsed

 

[CricketJunoon]

How many times our middle order the Inzamams and Yousafs have to save us. It is a law of the averages and sometimes Something's Gotta give

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

This is only Day one.........we have rain predicted and pakistan's fighting spirit.........even if we lose.....2 more tests remain and we can still win both

 

[zMario]

Come on, rain on the next 4 days will do - we'll win the next 2 tests

 

[UJ]

Tell me you're joking, jokey mcjokerson

sadly, no

 

[zMario]

You know what, if I didn't sign up to write the Day's review, then I wouldn't be up still watching our murder

 

[Usman Chadda]

How many times our middle order the Inzamams and Yousafs have to save us. It is a law of the averages and sometimes Something's Gotta give

I agree. Our middle-order was due a failure after terrific performances over the past couple of years. IMO the top order has to deliver, Farhat has to be dropped now. 3 innings which have produced absolutely nothing and 4 catches in the series already

 

[CricketJunoon]

no rain in the horizon

 

[Usman Chadda]

You know what, if I didn't sign up to write the Day's review, then I wouldn't be up still watching our murder

Aw poor guy! So how will you describe Pakistan's atrocious performance today?

 

[iZeeshan]

STOP THE SAMI BASHING!!!

Please people give the guy a rest. He got a wicket, what else do you want. In fact he got two, Farhat just didn't want to take the catch.

I am honestly starting to think that either Sami and Farhat are very bad freinds or Strauss, COllingwood, and Cook have given him a fairly good deal

 

[zMario]

Aw poor guy! So how will you describe Pakistan's atrocious performance today?

I don't know - I have a good mind of going to sleep and submitting Cricinfo's Bulletin, I'm thinking about it

 

[ShowStopper]

what happened Guys?

 

[Bilsher007]

Players coming back from tea, INSHALLAH pakistan will get atleast 3 or 4 wickets. Go Pakistan.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

the players are back on the field now

 

[iZeeshan]

Bring back Salman Butt, I say...

 

[Usman Chadda]

what happened Guys?

Well...uh...we have just embarassed ourselves infront of a packed Old Trafford crowd Thats all that has happened

Ok on to the final session now. Hope we do good

 

[ShowStopper]

Bring back Salman Butt, I say...

But Butt for what?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kaneria will start proceedings

GO DANI BOY

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bring back Salman Butt, I say...

Hell yeah

He is a much better batsman than Farhat! Enough said

 

[zMario]

Hell yeah

He is a much better batsman than Farhat! Enough said

Agreed!

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan are either really recharged to get some wickets, or just looking bleak.

I'll take the latter.
