Eng v Pak: 3rd Test: 'Judgement Day' - [Updates]

[Amir]

shottttttt

 

[Oxy]

Short and wide, again not punished by YK.

Test matches are playing the percentage game - you dont chase everything. Not if you hit the prev ball for 4.

 

[fakhar]

275 more to go....not bad...

 

[zMario]

Pakistan need to go at 3.62 runs for victory

 

[Oxy]

Drinks.

48-1 off 15 (75 overs to go)

 

[Daoud]

We need to reach 100 by lunch without losing any more wickets.
There you go, Nostradaoud has spoken

 

[Momo]

I hope he can continue to be hopeless out in the middle for another 80 overs

hahaha
well said. have to give it to you.

 

[darkmoon459]

Good first hour ,15 over and 48 runs, 3.2 run rate not bad at all,

 

[iZeeshan]

Test matches are playing the percentage game - you dont chase everything. Not if you hit the prev ball for 4.

But if its in the offering, shouldn't it be taken?

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Players take drinks

 

[the_love_machine]

Why did Green-Machine say that Younis isn't test quality? The guy sometimes talks such shyte, even though he's right SOMETIMES.

 

[Amir]

275 more to go....not bad...

Exactly, if we keep wickets and the RRR stays around 4 we can still win this....we got Inzi at the end becasue of being injured.

 

[fakhar]

taufeeq doing a great job sticking at one end...good job lad...no need to worry about the runs right now just keep the wicket's in hand

 

[KA$H]

YK bristling with positivity out there.

 

[Ace Base]

And thats 300 runs for this series for Mr Khan, Younis.

 

[Amir]

Why did Green-Machine say that Younis isn't test quality? The guy sometimes talks such shyte, even though he's right SOMETIMES.

Not right, he is just pestimistic. So when we fail...it eems like he is right. He has been wrong more times than correct.

 

[iZeeshan]

Drinks?

Looks like we're winning this test match more then we're losing it.

 

[Amir]

Drinks?

Why? are you offering some?

 

[Daoud]

Test matches are playing the percentage game - you dont chase everything. Not if you hit the prev ball for 4.

Exactly. We need to go at less than 4 an over - no point trying to hit every ball and get caught in the slips only to be condemned for being reckless and irresponsible. I'd be disappointed if we play for anything but a win at this stage but we have to do so in a calculating manner

 

[iZeeshan]

Taufeeq 7 off 44.

 

[zMario]

Why? are you offering some?

He is? Gimmie some Pepsi Pepsi man

 

[Ace Base]

I predict lunch to be taken at 1300 hrs, Leeds time.

 

[Amir]

Looks like we're winning this test match more then we're losing it.

STill alot of time to go, lets not get ahead of ourselves. STill 75 overs left in the day and anything can happen. Lets just take it one over at a time.

 

[zMario]

Monty to bowl

 

[KB]

Taufeeq is taking the shine of the ball. Making it easier for batsmen to follow.

 

[UJ]

Drinks?

I'll have an orange juice thanks!

 

[the_love_machine]

Eng need to bring in Monty fast

 

[Momo]

Momo is a troll who desperately needs to get a life

Actually you dont understand. I know how fatal it is to praise Pakistani batsmen. They thank you by immediately getting out in an awful way. Thats why my philosophy (evolved over a number of years of watching cricket) is always to criticise them and go after them with a hatchet. That is why the better they play the harsher I will become. You just cant praise them if you want to win the match.

 

[Rana]

here we go, monty time!

 

[KA$H]

lets see the pak intent against the spinner

 

[fakhar]

monty is on.....

 

[iZeeshan]

Anyone see the sign "Monty for Pope"? )

 

[Rana]

44444444444

 

[Raz]

Come on Taufeeq yaara, this is you're big chance to shine, don't let yourself down!!

 

[pak4life]

taufeeq wil bat through out the day thats his role while the others wil go for their shots

 

[Oxy]

Monty comes in.

Phase 2 - begins. Toffee & YK have to readjust.

 

[iZeeshan]

Panesar on.

 

[Rana]

the pressure is on

WOW! To replies to one post! Make up your mind dude.

 

[zMario]

Sliced away for FOUR!

 

[Oxy]

We just did. 4 for Toffee

 

[Momo]

hahaha
Umar ka tukka!

 

[pak4life]

is taufeeq a good player of spin?

 

[Amir]

I believe if England are to win this game, Panesar will be the key.

 

[Bilsher007]

“Since 1954, Pak have only had to bat last in a Test match in England on eight occasions, and they have never yet chased down a target,” volunteers Najeem. Interesting. Here’s Jenny to take you through until lunch. And, in response to several requests we’ve had to provide the required run-rate, it currently stands at 3.62. Drop us a line if you like. What a fascinating first hour

INSHALLAH today pakistan will change history and win at headingley. INSHALLAH

 

[Rana]

just dropped short, thanks god!

 

[zMario]

Great shot by guess who? Taufeeq!

 

[iZeeshan]

WOW! Four for Taufeeq AMAZING!

 

[Awesome Anjum]

4 from Taufiq

Lots of ooohs and aaahs from around the wicket

 

[UJ]

Taufeeq hits a 4..is that going to shut people up now?

 

[zMario]

So close

 

[Amir]

Ok good...four for the over, no need to do anything else now...

 

[Raz]

Taufeeq struggling in that over from Monty

 

[Rana]

is taufeeq a good player of spin?

i dnt think monty as to yet has bowled to a left-hander in this series

 

[the_love_machine]

Wow! Umar does the impossible, hits a four

 

[zMario]

So close

I mean , I'm glad it was short tho

 

[iZeeshan]

Woo...that was soo close.

 

[Oxy]

Monty is stronger in this game by having Read as keeper - he makes a huge difference.

 

[fakhar]

good over by monty....

 

[Ace Base]

Oxy, unfortuantely many of the pups who log on to Pak Passion have very little idea about the beautiful game that is cricket.

Its much more sophisticated than Afridi would have us believe.

[iZeeshan]

Taufeeq should just come out and attack.

 

[Oxy]

Thatnk god Dean Jones isnt commentating today.....

 

[Raz]

Saj Mahmood coming on to bowl now

 

[the_love_machine]

Dude it's just one 4, Dont get carried away

 

[zMario]

The tickets are sit where you want

 

[iZeeshan]

Double change. Saj Mahmood comes on.

 

[Rana]

[zMario]

Saj Mahmood coming on to bowl now

The "old" Sami clone

 

[Momo]

Wow! Umar does the impossible, hits a four

it was a mis-hit, mind you!

 

[Rana]

well played by yk

 

[zMario]

Pakistan ZINDABAD!

I can hear it

 

[KA$H]

toffee needs to start juding the length of monty better

 

[Bilsher007]

I REPEAT taufeeq needs to play without fear of failure, not too defensive not risky but just right and positive. He must the hunger to dominate bowlers and demoralise them.
