England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 4

[MABA]

so typical of Rahat, gets a wicket and gets hit for a boundary

 

[hur rizvi]

Classy start. Most dangerous batsman in the universe

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Poor length again.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Jaani ban hona cha rahe ho kia lol?

sorry boys Jazbat is just...... I feel like I loose 50 days from my life with each such game - this is freaking stressful !!

 

[Sherlock]

...And Rahat goes back to his awful best/worst.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

What a shot

 

[srh]

So where the guys who said you lost it?

lol.

Told you Cook was lulloing even in first innings.

Lulloing is a good addition to English language.

 

[pak4life]

short again from rahat. bend your back man.

 

[#GreenRoars]

One ball pitched up and Cook gone, why cannot they pitch it up??

This is the problem with our bowlers, no consistency in their bowling.

 

[hur rizvi]

Not a bad ball. Just a good shot

Too short got to pitch it full. Root will keep hitting those

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbah shouldnt take out third slip so quickly!

 

[Hasan123]

Bowling at 2 right handers shouldn't affect our bowlers line and length as much

 

[JibranAnsari]

That was a fluke from rahat.

 

[Asim2Good]

BTW why Cook is allowed that tape on his bat? is that tape? at middle of his bat

 

[shah_1]

inconsistent

 

[hur rizvi]

Short again Rahat. No consistency at all

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

What the hell is wrong with these bowlers? Why are they bowling short with the new ball? Unbelievable.

 

[in_cutter]

That was a fluke from rahat.

Fluke? It was a good length. Give credit where due.

 

[castortroy]

This is still some absolutely shocking bowling

The only decent deliver in 3 overs gets a wicket

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Root missed out 2 boundaries.

Sehwag would be furious with him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Root in sublime touch.

 

[imshally81]

That was a fluke from rahat.

Please....

[hur rizvi]

Good ball this. Gorgeous from Root but got to bowl there

 

[Hasan123]

Rahat is bowling some rubbish!!!!

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Sarfraz almost sledging Cook on his way back

 

[#GreenRoars]

Rahat took one wicket, so now his job is done. No more wickets and good deliveries.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Fluke? It was a good length. Give credit where due.

Fluke as in that guy is not at all consistent.

Bowled 2 boundary deliveries after that.

Rahat is a very weird bowler.

 

[Ellipsism]

Rahat is the strangest guy to ever play for Pakistan. One ball would be a jaffer that leaves the batsman clueless, the next ball would be a half tracker screaming to be hit.

 

[HitWicket]

BTW why Cook is allowed that tape on his bat? is that tape? at middle of his bat

Its just fibreglass tape wrapped around the bat.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Root missed out 2 boundaries.

Sehwag would be furious with him.

Azhar ali won't even attempt to touch these deliveries.

 

[Fahdi]

If Rahat develops some consistency in his line and length he can be one of the best bowlers in the world.
I always have rated his talent highly he just lacks control

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Swap Azhar and Hafeezs fielding positions!!

 

[LastManstanding]

There is no way in the world Rahat is 27. Must be 34-35 at least.

 

[godzilla]

agree with commentry above. amir in particularly - massivley overrated. no swing whatsoever and wide half volleys taken out any chance of new ball swing too. absolutely atrocious.

 

[hur rizvi]

Fluke? It was a good length. Give credit where due.

His good length balls are mostly fluke. He has no natural length

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fluke? It was a good length. Give credit where due.

Yah he didn't know what he did. That was a fluke. Next three deliveries were as rubbish.

 

[yasir]

This is the problem with our bowlers, no consistency in their bowling.

They are bowling UAE length, UK is yard fuller, that's why they were spanked in side match as well

C'mon Amir!! Time to return to your past glory

 

[Asim2Good]

Its just fibreglass tape wrapped around the bat.

is this allowed though?

how much effect it can have on hot spot if any?

 

[castortroy]

Amir still bowling short

No swing for Amir

 

[hur rizvi]

On off stump please Amir

 

[hur rizvi]

Amir is looking harmless at this point

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir isn't ready for test cricket yet.

Drop amir and rahat in the next match. Sohail , imran , zulfi and Yasir should be our bowling attack.

 

[castortroy]

Imagine how short wahab will bowl lol

 

[shah_1]

Amir not really swinging the ball

 

[srh]

Amir needs to justify the hype

 

[#GreenRoars]

Fluke as in that guy is not at all consistent.

Bowled 2 boundary deliveries after that.

Rahat is a very weird bowler.

Old story, Rahat mostly bowl his first 3,4 overs nicely with 1 wicket. And then he thinks his job is done, and start leaking runs every where.

Same case is with Wahab also. Peeuuww, we are in big big trouble.

 

[Hasan123]

Better line from Amir. Just no swing

 

[Shafi]

Amir get a wicket my boy!!!! No need to be nervous

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

It will be a poor move to bring Yasir with the new ball.

 

[Ellipsism]

There is no way in the world Rahat is 27. Must be 34-35 at least.

He looks 27. There is no way he looks that old, he's no older than 30, that's one thing I'm certain about.

 

[uberkoen]

is this allowed though?

Yes, it's allowed. It has not effect on hot spot. Silicon tape does.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Last ball as good from Amir. Keep bowling there

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Bowl full, you idiots.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Old story, Rahat mostly bowl his first 3,4 overs nicely with 1 wicket. And then he thinks his job is done, and start leaking runs every where.

If Rahat gets his line and length right, he would be an ATG bowler.

Or borderline ATG at least.

No kidding.

 

[Asim2Good]

Yes, it's allowed. It has not effect on hot spot. Silicon tape does.

thanks

 

[Hasan123]

Azhar ali surely will get used today

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

That's it Amir - Get in a good groove boy !!

 

[castortroy]

Wow this pitch looks flat

 

[BleedGreen]

pathetic bowling so far. Bring yasir

 

[hur rizvi]

ANother four but not a bad ball

 

[in_cutter]

Regarding Amir..only Woakes moved the ball around. Too much was expected off him anyway.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Guys do you think we can still win this?

 

[Slog]

England bat very deep

 

[Markhor]

Amir bowling gun barrel straight.

 

[shah_1]

Nothing really happening for Amir

 

[Hasan123]

If Rahat gets his line and length right, he would be an ATG bowler.

Or borderline ATG at least.

No kidding.

That's why he is so fustrating. Some sessions with Mohammad Asif could be useful

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

yar

 

[castortroy]

Root will probably get a couple of boundaries in this over as well

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[HitWicket]

is this allowed though?

how much effect it can have on hot spot if any?

Yeh it's fine and commonly used to prevent slight cracks around the edge from extending. Same material that's used in scuff sheets that cover the bat face (although used less at professional level due to the easy availability of a new bat).

 

[CricketAnalyst]

England bat very deep

They don't.

Usually they do, but Broad, Finn and Ball isn't at all threatening at 9, 10, 11.

 

[imshally81]

Rahat missing Waqar Younis

[castortroy]

Can't believe how bad these two are bowling

 

[yasir]

Amir needs to pitch it up, short length will not swing.

Rahat bowl one ball up and that swing.

[The Last Of The Stars]

Misbah should set a defensive field.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This is entertaining from a neutral standpoint.

Runs flowing...wickets falling...threat of a spinner looming large....

When Yasir comes, run rate will go down and Pakistan will get in control (in terms of tempo).

England vs Yasir's slider

That's the battle I guess.

 

[#GreenRoars]

MashAllah, great bowling, shabash boys. We are defending 800 here.

 

[Hasan123]

Our seam bowling is a joke. Imran khan or sohail khan in the next game please

 

[hur rizvi]

So easy for Root, but this is the length
