England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 1

[angrypathan]

What does smh stand for?

Shaking my head

 

[On_the_up]

All that's needed now is Broad to come good and Pak are toast.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The probability of getting out under 200 is pretty high.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

No need to be over defensive now like Azhar Ali or we will lose another one.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What was Azhar actually doing at crease apart from needless blocking! he needs to open inns going forward and get someone else in the middle order who can show intent.

 

[Kaptan]

Cricinfo says the ball was clipping leg stump, then why everyone is blaming umpire for it ? Am I missing something ?

 

[JaDed]

Azhar should had played that better as well,anyhow tough call.

 

[MMHS]

Harsh call by the umpire. You don't give that out.

He was out actually on his shot, rather than the ball. Had he stood on ground, could have survived, but he felt covering all 3 sticks with his body.

 

[ExplicitAI]

We're gonna have to have Misbah scoring a big one here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

would have been 6 down if Anderson was playing.

 

[Abdul]

Cricinfo says the ball was clipping leg stump, then why everyone is blaming umpire for it ? Am I missing something ?

Are you watching the match?

 

[Junaids]

So far:

1) Hafeez has got himself out in unforgivable fashion,
2) Masood and Azhar have looked out of their depth.
3) Younis has used that weird Late Trott dancing technique.

This looks bad for Pakistan. Pretty bad. You need Shafiq, Younis and Sarfraz to get you to 320 to be in the match. You're still 240 short.

 

[angrypathan]

It was clipping by a 10th of a millimetre. Harsh call, but you have to deal with them

 

[JibranAnsari]

Big test for misbah this.

 

[MMHS]

What was Azhar actually doing at crease apart from needless blocking! he needs to open inns going forward and get someone else in the middle order who can show intent.

Sir, you are being disrespectful here. He is PAK's No. 3, a position Bradman, Kanhai, Viv, Ponting & Kallis bated for their team ....

 

[On_the_up]

Micky Arthur being shown what we have all known for ages.

 

[Kaptan]

Are you watching the match?

No, thats why I asked

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets hope misbah can get himself in here and play a few shots, we cant spend all day blocking!

 

[shaaik]

Poor decision from the on field umpire. It looked so going down the leg stump.

[JaDed]

First two tests is where Pakistanis can be more competitive it gets tougher as tour progresses.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbah will need to score as well

 

[pak4life]

Hope Darmesena gives the same 50-50 decisions in favour of Pakistan bowlers too. He has set a precedent.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

No need to block now, rotate the strike.

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah was way too late on that one.

 

[Abdul]

No, thats why I asked

Watch highlights then later

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Ganguly sitting alone, lol, English people are giving him any lift or may be don't recognize him.

 

[MMHS]

Hope Darmesena gives the same 50-50 decisions in favour of Pakistan bowlers too. He has set a precedent.

But, ENG batsmen also have to collapse in front of middle stick for that ............

 

[Mamoon]

If we don't score more than 250, innings defeat will be on the cards. Given how deep England bat, getting them out for less than 450-500 could be an uphill task on this pitch.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol bring on Moeen Ali already

 

[Mamoon]

If Anderson was playing, we would be 70/5 now.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Come on Misbah, hit a six, spinners won't be in the attack for that.

 

[street cricketer]

What does smh stand for?

Sydney morning herald.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah needs to be careful to nip back balls from Broad as he could get out LBW,

Azhar Ali sucked all momentum of inns before by just blocking!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wrist slitting has started

People stating the obvious , poor batting so far.

 

[IcedCoffee]

We desperately need an all-rounder in our side. Also as mentioned already, poor decision, even if marginally correct.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good to see Younis driving. Misbah needs to do the same in stead of leaving everything that us overpitched. Need a 100 partnership here

 

[shaaik]

Hope Darmesena gives the same 50-50 decisions in favour of Pakistan bowlers too. He has set a precedent.

He never has been. He's a very poor umpire in my opinion.

[ExplicitAI]

YK going good here

 

[Sandeep]

Late to the party. Looks a good result match, either way. Advantage Pakistan. Yasir Shah will be tough to handle in the 4th innings..

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

At least rotate the damn strike.

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar wasting his form by dropping anchor excessively. His fault.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

so much hype for such a performance .......... all words no action

 

[shah_1]

Singles be lo yaar Misbah

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

These over defensive tactics won't get us anywhere.

 

[Pete Rose]

Botham and Ramiz playing commentary chicken: who can keep quiet for longer.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan need to see out this session without any further loss. 130/3 at tea will be a good result for Pakistan.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Ideally Misbah should have been 9 from 16 balls by now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbah must show some intent.

 

[Sandeep]

England should not bring Moeen into the attack. That will enable Misbah to settle and score freely. Attack with pace.. test techniques!

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

An in swinger now, watch out Misbah.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah looking very very lazy.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

As expected the warm up bully showed his true color

 

[Shafi]

Bad umpiring always go against us whether we play against Zimbabwe or England or WI. Having saying that Azhar deserved to get out if he keep tuk tuking and give confidence to the bowlers

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah's lack of front-foot stride has always made his vulnerable to pitched up deliveries.

 

[On_the_up]

Misbah just playing round his static front leg, missing out on so many run making deliveries.

Poor technique, and ripe for a straighter one which nips back a bit.

 

[Markhor]

We are going nowhere with this innings.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Our batsmen should make Jake Ball look like a debutant, rather than giving him respect.

 

[JibranAnsari]

After hafeez 29/2 in 15 overs. Keeping ticking the board is very important here.

 

[Mamoon]

Younis is so theatrical.

 

[Sandeep]

Our batsmen should make Jake Ball look like a debutant, rather than giving him respect.

A little restraint and respect for good balls does no harm. Welcome to test cricket.

 

[LastManstanding]

Younis uses too many muscles just to leave the ball.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

A little restraint and respect for good balls does no harm. Welcome to test cricket.

They are giving him more than he deserves.

 

[On_the_up]

With these tactics, Pak will do well to cross 300

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hope yk doesn't get out hitting his wickets with the back foot.

 

[shah_1]

Younis doing good ballet dance

 

[IcedCoffee]

Younis Bhai holding a procession with his dance moves at the crease. Bohat Aala.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Younus at least rotates the strike, Misbah looks stuck.

 

[Pete Rose]

Aesthetically, the only batsman worth watching in this line up is Shafiq.

 

[JibranAnsari]

With these tactics, Pak will do well to cross 300

300 will be a miracle.

 

[Sandeep]

Aesthetically, the only batsman worth watching in this line up is Shafiq.

Hafeez is the best of the lot.

 

[Muhammad10]

Misbah struggling to adjust to the pace of the pitch. Has looked a bit late on the ball.

 

[Mamoon]

Younis thinks he's batting on a green mamba.

 

[shah_1]

That was close

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Not convincing but a boundary nonetheless.

 

[Red Devil]

Misbah attempted a pull shot for a change

 

[street cricketer]

Two 38+ year olds at the crease.

 

[Abdul]

As expected the warm up bully showed his true color

He got out in a unfortunate manner

It is too easy for some like you to label him that based on one inning

I would advise you to wait until the end of this Test series!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great shot :4

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

What a shot by Misbah.

 

[shah_1]

What a shot
