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

[hur rizvi]

Other than Rahat's over to hales, this has been a very poor effort

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Half tracker to the body.

What a gift.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I think this would most probably be an innings defeat for Pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great shot.

 

[BleedGreen]

wont be surprised if england go 400+

 

[hur rizvi]

On the pads, On the pads, wide on off Pattern so far from Rahat

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lol, why is this bowler even in the team. such rubbish deliveries

 

[Timewaster]

The second new ball really started swinging after about 15 overs, expect the swing to come back after lunch.

Amir looking average, needs to use the crease

 

[Hasan123]

Hope we are on top whenever Botham is on commentary. Hate him commentating when England are on top

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

This is how our openers should start, 4 per over at least.

 

[hur rizvi]

wont be surprised if england go 400+

500+ should be easy given the pitch and England's batting depth

 

[Hasan123]

Good fielding there need more of that

 

[JibranAnsari]

Everyone was overrating Pakistan's bowling attack. Two bowlers who average 35 and one bowler who is making a comeback after 6 years. Lords is not in UAE ,so yasirs effectiveness will be a lot less.

 

[Abdul]

But... Mohammad Amir is the best bowler in the world.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Our fielders hit the stump when the batsman doesn't go for a run, and misses by a huge margin every other time

 

[PakFan2010]

Amir looked very good against a county side.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

wont be surprised if england go 400+

No chance.

 

[Big Mac]

This is how our openers should start, 4 per over at least.

Ask the England opening bowlers to spray the ball around like this and you'll get your wish.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

good start from eng, very positive. We are always negative when we open. Eng can easily score 500 here.

 

[hur rizvi]

Lol, why is this bowler even in the team. such rubbish deliveries

I am going to give some benefit of the doubt but this really poor bowling

 

[BleedGreen]

need a wicket before lunch

 

[Xoib]

guys this is amir's first test in 6 years moreover he returns a the ground where it happened he will be overcome with emotions and pressure give him some time.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Amir looked very good against a county side.

Today he has been off. Now improving.

Issue is that when it doesn't swing, Amir has looked quite playable and ordinary.

If it was swinging, Amir in rhythm now would have looked dangerous.

But it isn't and he looks playable.

 

[Hawkeye]

Conditions quite eased out.

England all set to score 400+. Don't expect much wickets or it'll pain. santh

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Ask the England opening bowlers to spray the ball around like this and you'll get your wish.

No need to ask them, you have to create chances for yourself by playing with a positive attitude, unlike our openers.

 

[nish_mate]

Dropped

lol

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Cook dropped. Why the hell is Hafeez in first slip!!!!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Oh dear.

Drop 1.

Amir must be devastated.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Idiot Hafeez.

 

[Big Mac]

Goddammit Hafeez

 

[Seller1984]

Gg hafeez

 

[Markhor]

Welcome back to Pakistan Mohammad Amir !

 

[hur rizvi]

What the hell is serial dropper HAfeez doing in the slips

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor line again.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Thank you Hafeez, you can't bat, bowl and now you cant even field. Pathetic

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pathetic, easy chance and we are now going to pay for it

 

[majiz]

oh dear

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Everyone knows Hafeez is a choker in slips. He should be nowhere near the slips. This is so bloody frustrating

 

[pak4life]

seriously why is hafeez in the team- can't bat can't bowl can't field

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If this was swinging and Pak had bowled well at the started, Cook would have been out by now. Like twice.

Has been quite ordinary today.

Still scoring due to freebies.

 

[JibranAnsari]

You can not afford to drop cook. Now watch him score a double.

 

[Hasan123]

Take Hafeez out of the slips and never let him return in any format

 

[hur rizvi]

YK, Misbah should be the slippers. Hafeez is a terrible slipper

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

dropped

 

[osee_bhai]

That was a simple catch. I'm wondering what Hafeez is doing in the slips though? Especially with Misbah, YK, and Azhar?

 

[PakFan2010]

Cook double hundred coming up hahaha!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Amir must feel like KILLING Hafeez.

You dropped Cook.

 

[yasir]

Amir has not being able to swing yet, cloud cover...

As i type Hafeez spillit

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir set Cook up beautifully only for Hafeez to screw it all up. Get Misbah, Younis and Ahzra in first second third slip ASAP

 

[MMHS]

This guy, MoHa is such a shame for cricket - this is exactly what I feared, dropping Cook early & he dropped a sitter for 1st slip.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Why is Hafeez in the team??? Rubbish batsman and drops hundreds of crucial catches

 

[Big Mac]

No need to ask them, you have to create chances for yourself by playing with a positive attitude, unlike our openers.

Create chances with a positive attitude?

Cook's boundaries have been either edged past slips or whipping balls off his pads. That's not creating chances.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Thanks Hafeez for letting Cook to hit a ton.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez drops like one third of catches at slips , why is he still in the cordon.

 

[Ab Fan]

Well done Pakistan. With this kind of fielding you are not going to become a top side in tests. Congrats.

 

[Hasan123]

No way will Hafeez be on the Australian tour if Arthur has his way. There are doubts about his batting anyway but without his bowling and ridiculous fielding he could easily be left out. And also he is picking up injuries

 

[MMHS]

That was a simple catch. I'm wondering what Hafeez is doing in the slips though? Especially with Misbah, YK, and Azhar?

That's a prestige spot ......

 

[1992CorneredTiger]

Lol...these posters who have watched us bowl 6 overs and have already come to the conclusion that England are going to score 400/500 and/or win by an innings...have you guys gone mad?

Amir has come back after 6 years, lets let him gain some rhythm first...and on top of that there are other decent bowlers too...so waaaayy too early to make such predictions.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hafeez better not still be in the slips.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

YK, Misbah should be the slippers. Hafeez is a terrible slipper

He is a terrible fielder anywhere, drops dollys from every corner

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez is still in the slips. Move him from there and put Yasir in there.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

I wonder why Shafiq is never in the slips.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor delivery again.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Freebies on the pads.

 

[hur rizvi]

Everyone knows Hafeez is a choker in slips. He should be nowhere near the slips. This is so bloody frustrating

True. Even a kid Knows our best slippers are YK, Misbah, Azhar and Shafiq

Hafeez has always been a poor and inconsistent slipper

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rahat sort your damn line out

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Root is such a great batsmen.

 

[PTI tsunami]

Why is Hafeez still in slips

[sensible-indian-fan]

Even Indian pacers had 10X more discipline than Rahat.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Hafeez...

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez better not still be in the slips.

He still is.

 

[PakFan2010]

50 off 7 overs, this puts Pakistan's batting to shame. Struggling to 339 on a flat deck!

 

[Gone]

Bowlers not getting any swing and bowling to the legs off both batsman...

Free runs here for england.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Rahat and hafeez should be dropped from the next test

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Create chances with a positive attitude?

Cook's boundaries have been either edged past slips or whipping balls off his pads. That's not creating chances.

Whipping balls off pads are intentional, comes in the category of a positive attitude.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

since misbah became the captain he stands at midoff, just common sense he is one of the best slip fielder... the most frustrating part here is hafeez at first slip..such an easy chance, u butter fingered hafeez... pak gonna pay for it..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Lol...these posters who have watched us bowl 6 overs and have already come to the conclusion that England are going to score 400/500 and/or win by an innings...have you guys gone mad?

Amir has come back after 6 years, lets let him gain some rhythm first...and on top of that there are other decent bowlers too...so waaaayy too early to make such predictions.

well they have 50 already in 8 overs, 400+ in my view..

 

[Executioner]

I won't class this as a good bowling display, there are plenty of good deliveries but some poor deliveries too and those just ruins the over. This is a mediocre display of bowling given the kind of purchase the bowlers are displaying.

Although that dolly dropped didn't help

 

[emranabbas]

i say try few overs with yasir shah

 

[Indiafan]

Pretty positive start from England till now. That miss might cost Pakistan a lot
