[haizen]

The best thing Pakistan have done all morning is to NOT waste that review

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another one bites the dust. Still far away from 80. :akmal

 

[James]

great ball and great decision. once again England's weakest bowler is made to look good by Azhar

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

No review! - 0 (32) !!

 

[Friend786]

azhar 32 balls duck

 

[iZeeshan]

Such a pathetic approach from the top 3 batsmen

What the hell do they think that they will eventually just start scoring? I don't know what's going through their heads!

Over 90 balls played by Farhat, Butt, and Azhar and only 7 runs scored.

How ridiculous.

 

[pak-fan]

out

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

29/4 !!

 

[Strike!]

Worst duck i have ever seen part 2.

 

[Obeid]

This is not worth sleep depervation.

Actually I'll wait till Umar Akmal gets out so I don't regret it.

 

[asifp]

I feel sorry for the people that paid money to see this

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Here comes "a classy left hander"

 

[NJamal]

Azhar gone after palying a brilliant knock of 0 of 32 balls. Man I will say I am previliged to watch this knock. Thats how you should fight and bat in Test cricket.

 

[iZeeshan]

Here we go.

This is where the Umars decide to take control of the game!

 

[Dr. Khan]

Subhanallah 32 ball duck and I thought Farhats was bad.
Our batting has never been such a joke before - I see the English fans and team have a field trip with this.

 

[masterblaster10]

Oh spoke to soon.

 

[TheρaKaraBrocKer]

why are they not bringing Y Hameed in the team?

 

[iZeeshan]

Here we go.

This is where the Umars decide to take control of the game!

 

[Dr. Khan]

Subhanallah 32 ball duck and I thought Farhats was bad.
Our batting has never been such a joke before - I see the English fans and team have a field trip with this.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

The ball pitched outside off according to hawky!

 

[Chuffed]

What the ****! I just woke up to the fact I'm actually supporting this team!!

 

[Imy]

umar Amin its time to give bck on selectors faith in you

 

[ZAK]

29/4

 

[shan]

It was expected, now another average player comes to bat.

 

[Momo]

Shahzaib is the answer.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Azhar Ali out for 0. off 32 balls. Thats the most painful innings I have ever seen. Hopefully that will be the end of him . Hes a tailender at best. really poor technique, too rigid, no foot movement. Good bye Azhar

 

[b0wld]

the entire Azhar Ali inning has been one big *** moment..i mean ....seriously am lost for words...

 

[pak4life]

Its meant to be the English summer why has the weather been soo miserable in the past month! These guys just need a good hot day to get some confidence & runs under their belts.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

19 gone - 29/4

 

[azzan_ali]

Poor decision from umpire, if Pak took review still he was going to be OUT. i think ICC shuld change this rule.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Akmal.

 

[pakmania]

Quick single.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Umar Amin must have a lot of pressure on him

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

waqar looking pretty glum !

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

30/4 - 20th over.

 

[sanakazmi]

7 off 97.

 

[Energy]

2 runs to Umar Amin.

 

[James]

Its meant to be the English summer why has the weather been soo miserable in the past month! These guys just need a good hot day to get some confidence & runs under their belts.

July and seemingly August were/are rubbish, but to be fair, May and June were pretty immense months for weather. that's usually better than we get as it is. any more weeks of sunshine are a bonus now.

 

[pakmania]

Zulqarnain as the wicketkeeper.Kamran back in as a specialist batsman in for Farhat/Amin.

 

[Chuffed]

Our top four batsmen are a joke.

 

[haizen]

Amin is going to break Lara's record in this match...watch

 

[chill79]

I wonder if Pakistan are after Geff Allot record of 0 for 77 balls.

 

[ZAK]

Amin gets off the mark.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Umar amin off the mark - azahr/farhat watch & learn !!

 

[NJamal]

Classy lefthander will save Pakistan

 

[NorthStar]

Amin off the mark.

 

[Momo]

Umar Amin off the mark immediately. That's no way to play young man! Behave yourself!

 

[rabi_sultan]

Comment from Cricinfo:
"Another wicket or two and we're into the decent batsmen," Rob Davis reckons.

How right

 

[azzan_ali]

30/4 - 20th over.

8

Even we have got 170 + runs if same team playing in T20s.

 

[masterblaster10]

I dont think ECB would ever invite Pakistan to England ever again. 2/3 day test matches are not money making.

Bangladesh series prob made more money for them than this rubbish.

 

[pak-fan]

 

[shan]

Poor decision from umpire, if Pak took review still he was going to be OUT. i think ICC shuld change this rule.

Yep poor decision but as it being said many times, review system is there to protect umpires. Now they can get away with these decisions. If he didnt given him out and England appelead it still be not out.

 

[chill79]

Zulqarnain as the wicketkeeper.Kamran back in as a specialist batsman in for Farhat/Amin.

aap ko doctor ki zaroorat hai

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Athers praising akmal!

 

[James]

7 off 97.

that's ace. Strauss would always have at least a half century with 97 balls.

 

[iZeeshan]

I have high hopes for this partnership!

Don't ruin it for me Umars

 

[Energy]

What an insult.

[Dr. Khan]

waqar looking pretty glum !

Do you expect him to jump up with joy given the condition the team finds itself.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

32/4 - after 20.

 

[Energy]

Ramiz comes into the com box.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Oh god! - ramiz in the commie box now!

 

[haizen]

And on top of all this Rameez Raja is in the box now

yayy

 

[Friend786]

rameez comes to commentary

 

[Desire]

umar amin will make a 100 today. inshallah. comeon boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

akmal 17*(16)

 

[pakmania]

When Rameez Raja of all people are tearing into you,you know its a pretty bad day !

 

[pak-fan]

Our top four batsmen are a joke.

excluding salman butt PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[James]

Yep poor decision but as it being said many times, review system is there to protect umpires. Now they can get away with these decisions. If he didnt given him out and England appelead it still be not out.

hit him on off-stump, hitting top of middle. that means out. marginal and great decision. very very easy for the umpire not to give it out in the face of UDRS, took a lot of guts to do so.

 

[Energy]

Umar Akmal has scored more than half of the team's score.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Nice full-ish almost yorker-like delivery there!

 

[iZeeshan]

They need to stop teasing us!

Either play well or screw it up all together!

I want to sleep.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Peach!

 

[NJamal]

I reckon 70 all out

 

[kamranO]

umar amin will make a 100 today. inshallah. comeon boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kuch ziada nahi mangra aaap

 

[iZeeshan]

Agreed. Though I'd say it was an easy decision..it looked plumb.

 

[TheρaKaraBrocKer]

32 in 20 overs, and they say our batsmen are in T20 mood:iamlegend

 

[NJamal]

excluding salman butt PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Salman Butt is the biggest Joker of All
