England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 2

[PakFan2010]

Wahab talks a lot for a one dimensional garbage bowler.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rahat bhai ball ko pakarna hai race nahi lagaani. Zaheer khan ki yaad dila di

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Need them 4 down at 175

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misba'h trump Rahat . wow such an awesome asset

 

[Mamoon]

Imran has more swag at 60 than his sons in their youth.

 

[Syed1]

Time for Yasir please

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bring Shah now.

 

[blue_champion]

Imran Khan in the presence of Baby God

 

[nish_mate]

Rahat to get the breakthrough

 

[Syed1]

Imran doesn't have swag he has class.

Only prepubescent teens have swag..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Root is really good. Don't like to watch him bat much though

 

[Syed1]

Change Rahat ora deh

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sachin Baby is trying to impress imran khan with his left arm shadow bowling.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good batting by england exposing the highly overrated bowling attack

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yes keep it tight and a wicket will come

 

[Syed1]

Misbah please put Yasir

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Rahat and Amir are pure swing bowlers, they can't extract seam movement off a pitch, while Wahab can do nothing, this is here we are missing the trick, we don't have a seamer, who, in the absence of swing, will be able to extract seam movement at least.

 

[PakFan2010]

Pakistan has such an overrated bowling line up, we fall for the hype every single time!

 

[Syed1]

Good batting by england exposing the highly overrated bowling attack

So one 60 run partnership exposes the bowling line up?

You were expecting us to dismiss them for 100 in every innings on their home grounds?


Aglay bhi khelnay aye hain

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good ball. Keep bowling there

 

[Markhor]

Better control since lunch.

 

[Jabo]

Not a good start

Whenever we do take a wicket

We need another 1/2 straight after

Think that's possible with Vince/Ballance

I think we'll have trouble with Bairstow

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan has such an overrated bowling line up, we fall for the hype every single time!

Pakistani fans never learn. Wahab and Rahat are garbage bowlers who won't even make India's bench, and we laugh at their bowling.

 

[Syed1]

Better control since lunch.

Maybe Mickey brought out the hair-dryer

 

[JibranAnsari]

Aglay bhi khelnay aye hain

Aglay hee khelne aye hen ..treating our bowling like a second string club attack.

 

[Syed1]

Guys fail to realize that this is England's best two batsmen.. It was always going to be tough to dismiss them. It only gets easier after these two.

Bunch of wrist slitters

 

[Seller1984]

Missing asif

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Yasir at first slip can be an interesting option

 

[yasir]

Amir is bowling well. Other bowlers have to keep it tight too

Rahat has being bowling well, he is pick of the bowlers so far... That catch could have setup nicely for Pakistan... Their batting is much more superior in these conditions, you cannot drop dollies... This can be really long day for Pakistan

 

[BleedGreen]

match slipping out of our hands

 

[Mamoon]

This whole myth of Wahab doing damage in Australia next winters will be destroyed as well.

Warner and Smith will spank him back to Lahore.

 

[Muhammad10]

Our bowlers have lacked discipline today. Wahab Riaz's selection ahead of Imran means we don't have a pacer who can bowl with control, keep it tight and apply some pressure.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Watching this reminds of stupid Asif. What a bowler he was..

 

[BleedGreen]

these 2 settled well now

 

[#GreenRoars]

Just need to break this partnership, these both are back bone of England batting.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Another beauty from Rahat to Cook

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

England won't score more than 300 anyways.

 

[Muhammad10]

Another beauty from Rahat.

 

[Red Devil]

Should just bring on Yasir now

 

[#GreenRoars]

Pakistani fans never learn. Wahab and Rahat are garbage bowlers who won't even make India's bench, and we laugh at their bowling.

Do you think IK better than both?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Predictable Rahat. Please string together 3 good balls. It's basic stuff!

 

[Mamoon]

Typical Rahat.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

a brilliant ball followed by perceft pressure releaser

 

[Mamoon]

Do you think IK better than both?

Better control certainly, but not enough penetration.

However, given how Wahab is bowling, I will opt for Imran over him in the next match.

He has no control and no penetration, while Rahat has no control but some penetration.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shah into attack now.

 

[Muhammad10]

Too many boundary balls. Impossible to build any pressure. Lets try Yasir.

 

[Mamoon]

If Yasir doesn't take 2-3 wickets by the end of day's play, it's probably over for us.

 

[Syed1]

If Yasir doesn't take 2-3 wickets by the end of day's play, it's probably over for us.

It's already over for you

 

[rollingstoned]

This pitch is flat but Pakistan are in loi bowling mode currently. Too many pies.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

come on Yasir, I have a feeling he will change the momentum.

 

[Syed1]

Can't expect Yasir to rip through England on day 2.. at max break this partnership and then we will see

 

[Hasan123]

this is hafeez last tour, mark my words, that idiot shezad will be back in the team.

He can stick around in LO but should be finished with tests after this series

 

[BleedGreen]

getting tougher and tougher for us

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Can't expect Yasir to rip through England on day 2.. at max break this partnership and then we will see

this is England, they are as bad at playing spin as Pakistan playing pace

 

[Arsal_AK]

Decent first over.

 

[Abdullah]

1 wicket will bring 3 but it needs to come in next 20 minutes

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

He can stick around in LO but should be finished with tests after this series

Anyone above 34 must be axed from the LOI squads.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

I think we are missing a 5th bowler, Hammad Azam or Aamer Yamin would have been useful at 6.

 

[Mamoon]

It's already over for you

It was over for me before the series started. I am mentally prepared for a 3-0 defeat.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Are these guys incapable of thinking or something?

 

[Seller1984]

That cook drop demoralized the team shouldve been taken

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rahat Ali bowls way too many pies.

 

[Hasan123]

Anyone above 34 must be axed from the LOI squads.

You can't have many players above that age in LO formats

 

[Hasan123]

Rahat is bowling garbage now

 

[PakFan2010]

I'm confident of getting a draw.

 

[BleedGreen]

if these 2 bat all day. its gonna get tough.

 

[Sandeep]

Pakistan need to bowl Yasir and Amir together. Pressure at one end will bring wicket at another.

On another note, really perplexed to see how these guys have bowled so far. Sure, the pitch is flat but I expect more from quality bowlers!

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Rahat is a liability, he just has too many bad deliveries.

 

[Syed1]

It was over for me before the series started. I am mentally prepared for a 3-0 defeat.

Congratulations you can turn of the telly now

 

[Mamoon]

Cook has a crazy record, can't believe he still has 5-6 years in him at least.

His achievements are incredible considering he made his debut in 2006.

 

[Markhor]

33 runs conceded in the 10 overs since lunch. So an improvement over the pre-lunch phainta at least.

 

[blue_champion]

Tricky for England....they need at least 600 to feel safe here....let us say if they get a 200 run lead and Pak manages 300 in the 2nd innings....England have no shot chasing anything over a 100 against this Pak line up.

 

[Sandeep]

Cook has a crazy record, can't believe he still has 5-6 years in him at least.

His achievements are incredible considering he made his debut in 2006.

Dude has real chance to break Sachin's records.. crazy, really..

 

[Syed1]

Jaldi jaldi out karoooo

 

[imshally81]

Wicket Coming Soon....

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Fans are overacting here. We haven't even bowled 50 overs yet and we are complaining about Bowling performances. Drop catches are part of the game even England dropped 2 catches. We must understand we are playing in England and against them at their home. So we must Not expect our bowlers to run them over. Its a flattest pitch in England it wont be easy at all. It will go to the 5th for any possible result. Pakistan must need to bowl tight overs and see what happens,

 

[MSaad1237]

Cook making Pakistan pay for that dropped catch !!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Let's all guess. Which ball of Rahats next over will be short and wide. Good bowling by Yasir btw

 

[blue_champion]

Dude has real chance to break Sachin's records.. crazy, really..

Also he plays 1 format....so less pressure,burden and narrower focus.....so he has a shot

 

[Syed1]

Let's all guess. Which ball of Rahats next over will be short and wide. Good bowling by Yasir btw

I'm guessing the fourth ball will go for four
