Eng v Pak: 2nd Test: Day 3 (Update Thread)

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

single for farhat

 

[Usman Chadda]

Usman bhai yaar we need to survive first, runs will come as batsmen settle down. Please don't worry about farhat's scoring rate cause this is'nt important right now.

Not worried about the run rate mere bhai. Its just that Farhat with this negative minset wont go far. Farhat the authorative batsman is much better

But yes we need someone to hang around. Come on Pakistan!

 

[Bilsher007]

I think pakistan perhaps need to strike some quick boundaries off harmison and monty to release the nervous energy and concentrate harder in taking the singles and doubles when approriate.

 

[Billy]

The flashing fisherman is still there but the Monster has started to find some turn...

 

[iZeeshan]

Yall don't worry abot run rates. Lets cover the first 340 runs, then we can look to maybe even push past 3.5

 

[Usman Chadda]

i just commericial on fox sports it said it will show all four tests & five onedays through july to september...but y isnt it showing the match today?

They are mad

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

single for myk

that all we need to do is not o get bogged down

 

[iZeeshan]

just checked Jawardeny made 374! Just missed the record!!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

The flashing fisherman is still there but the Monster has started to find some turn...

Oye who you calling the flashing fisherman?! Panesar is now a Monster eh? ) )

 

[iZeeshan]

Well played by Farhat for a single.

 

[Usman Chadda]

We need to survive Harmison for now. Then take out our frustrations on poor Monty

 

[Nauman]

This is the most boring test match in the history of test cricket.

 

[Bilsher007]

Pakistan need to strike harmison with some quick boundaries to take some sting out of his bowling.

 

[iZeeshan]

Monty is bowling really well Usman...

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is the most boring test match in the history of test cricket.

You have missed a lot of test matches then

 

[iZeeshan]

Lol Farhat tried to go for and screwed up...

 

[safehands46]

Farhat is really fighting.

 

[iZeeshan]

Nicely swept away for another single.

 

[Easa]

41-1

Nauman, if you find it boring, why watch and why post?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhat will be looking to deposit Monty out of the ground. I bet on that

 

[Easa]

Hoggard into the attack, Pakistan survive Harmison's opening burst.

 

[iZeeshan]

I was wrong. Interestingly enough, Imran Khan Farhat has never hit a 6 in tests. Maybe todays the day?

 

[iZeeshan]

Hoggy back on to bowl

 

[DotCom]

This is the most boring test match in the history of test cricket.

then how about BD v ZIM ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

It seems Monty is getting more purchase from this wicket than both Afridi and Kaneria

 

[DotCom]

Farhat will be looking to deposit Monty out of the ground. I bet on that

]]

he tried ....

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

wide

 

[DotCom]

It seems Monty is getting more purchase from this wicket than both Afridi and Kaneria

I think b/c of his flight ....

 

[iZeeshan]

Wide ball. So someone other then Razzaq CAN bowl wides...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Monty looking to flight the ball, according to Crapinfo

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

299 behind

 

[Usman Chadda]

I think b/c of his flight ....

Lets see how much he flights the ball when he gets hit for a few

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 for farhat

 

[BAADSHAH]

four - hopefully that should relieve some pressure

 

[BAADSHAH]

another four
are we going for the win - lol

 

[iZeeshan]

Farhat gets 4...could have been dangerous...hit in there

4 regardless

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 more for farhat better shot

need to calm down

 

[Billy]

That last shot by Farhat has got to be pretty difficult to keep down.

Looks great but I'm not sure you'd want to play it too often.

 

[iZeeshan]

This time beautfully executed by Imran for 4.

 

[DotCom]

Lets see how much he flights the ball when he gets hit for a few

thats the problem yaar ... He is good enough to get u .... MoYo, YK, Afridi all attaclked him, and handed their wickets to him

 

[BAADSHAH]

oooooh - that was lucky
farhats had a rush of blood to his head!

[Uzzy]

Has Monty been outperforming Kaneria in this match? Because it sounds like it to me.

 

[iZeeshan]

AAAA Farhat you dumbass. You were batting so well.

 

[Toony™®]

temperamental.

 

[KB]

Another start by Farhat another failure to capitalise on that start.

 

[shan]

again farhat

 

[Billy]

Monster! Monster!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

he chucked it away

 

[Usman Chadda]

AAAA Farhat you dumbass. You were batting so well.

[BAADSHAH]

kaneria hasnt been gettin hardly spin compared to monty in this match

btw - what is monty's proper first name?????

 

[sharuk]

another start and another failure after so much luck for farhat. will he be dropped for 3rd test?

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

moyo comes out

 

[shan]

farhat after playing well for he 38 got out again

 

[Somali Pirate]

we used our wickets for 2 sessions today

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhat should not even play for his street XI now! What a jerk

 

[DotCom]

that was a bit more flighted and slower ....

 

[sharuk]

Kaneria is highly over rated. even I can get 3-4 wickets after bowling 40 overs.

 

[Easa]

Beautiful delivery to beat Moyo first up.

Monster bowling really well

 

[shan]

how he got out?

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

bring back imran nazir

 

[Usman Chadda]

So much for the centuries our openers were about to make today

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

Kaneria is highly over rated. even I can get 3-4 wickets after bowling 40 overs.

kianeria was too loose

 

[Easa]

It wasn't a loose shot by Farhat, he inside edged to shortleg. It was more of a good delivery.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bring back Salman Butt!

 

[iZeeshan]

No you can't.

Monty bowling beautifully.

 

[shan]

So much for the centuries our openers were about to make today

it will be great if our three top bastmen make 100s let alone others
