England v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Day 1 - Session 1 | Edgbaston | 06/08/10

[Energy]

Butt is doing his best to get into some sort of position but what bowling this.

 

[Khabri420]

Ball is swinging miles

 

[iZeeshan]

How has there not been a wicket yet!?

The ball is moving miles!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Get their bowlers tired

 

[IAJ]

If Farhats gets out now, after all that hard work, he doesn't deserve to be in the team.

 

[iZeeshan]

England probably would have been 2-3 down already!

 

[pakmania]

Need another slip there especially if the openers are getting thick outside edges !

Dont wanna give Eng ideas though !

Come on guys,survive this spell !

 

[sohaibsyed]

very tough going

 

[iZeeshan]

First run in 3 overs

and it's no ball

 

[pakmania]

This ball is swinging miles.

 

[iZeeshan]

Asif and Aamer would have had a lot of fun with this pitch, no?

 

[sohaibsyed]

wow man massive swing!

 

[pakbl10]

England probably would have been 2-3 down already!

Agreed, our openers are doing well here, mA.

 

[Oxy]

Lets see how long these conditions last!

 

[Strike!]

Crazy swing.

 

[Dr. Khan]

It is almost like a fast off-spinner, damn that is some real swing

 

[ZAK]

Wow man the swing is just unreal!!!

 

[shan]

Massive swing.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

This ball is moving more then a shane-warne googly !!

 

[Energy]

Butt and Pakistan survive. On the other side, India require 257 to win the test.

 

[iZeeshan]

Agreed, our openers are doing well here, mA.

Well to be honest, Anderson and Broad just aren't as good as Asif and Aamer

 

[KA$H]

relax, farhat always looks like he's going to get out with every ball, that's his style of play.

When he's looking comfortable and relaxed and the crease, that's when you're scared he's going to gift his wicket and get out.

spot on

 

[NorthStar]

Very impressive last over from Anderson.

 

[Oxy]

I'd like to have seen Aamer & Asif bowling in these conditions! Lots of swing & carry

 

[Dr. Khan]

Better line from Anderson - more dangerous from this side of the wicket

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

FARHAT on and andaa* - BUTT on half-a-dozen*

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

7 gone - 8/0

 

[IAJ]

Anwar Ali could have been lethal here if he was picked.

 

[pakmania]

So far we've negated the swing fairly well,better technique used but think how it could be even better if we get a batting coach !

 

[KA$H]

its a matter of batting out time and survival at the moment

come on boys - concentrate

 

[On_the_up]

Ball going past the edge more often now.
3 slips.

 

[pakmania]

Nasser pleased with our approach apart from the one occaison Farhat had a poke !

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Broad with the swingin` cherry in his grip......

 

[Dr. Khan]

Farhat getting scratchy here - maybe he needs to get a run

 

[Chuffed]

Farthat getting nervous, his time is near....

 

[pakmania]

Eng use 3 slips now just as the guys in the studio mentioned it previously,good captaincy.

 

[On_the_up]

Farhat still to get off the mark.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Nice watchful start by our openers!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Farhat still on an andaa*

 

[Chuffed]

So far we've negated the swing fairly well,better technique used but think how it could be even better if we get a batting coach !

Farhat gone!

 

[On_the_up]

Farhat OUT!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Farhat gone

 

[haizen]

Outttt

 

[shan]

Farhat gone

 

[Eagle_Eye]

there goes Farhat....

 

[ZAK]

Farhat

 

[Energy]

Expected. Farhat gone.

 

[sohaibsyed]

Farhat gone

 

[Obeid]

Well what did we expect from Fart man.

 

[chui_kadoo]

as long as we dont lose a wicket I dont care if there are 15 maidens. The plan should be to nullify the new ball

 

[iZeeshan]

And Farhat gone after all the hardwork

Played 24 balls, and he goes for a duck

 

[NJamal]

FARHAT Gone on 24 ball 0 HAHAHAHAHAH

 

[Strike!]

It was only a matter of time.

 

[pakmania]

It was coming !

Farhat with a useless 0 off 24 !

 

[On_the_up]

Broad the wkt taker.

 

[Dr. Khan]

Had a feeling about that - was not looking good at all.

 

[NorthStar]

Farhat gone, another procession???

 

[sohaibsyed]

This is looking pretty dangerous to be honest

 

[Boi]

Duck from Farhat! DROP HIM!!

 

[ZAK]

We're doomed

 

[Eagle_Eye]

The inevitable has happened and he goes without playing a shot in anger!! What a twit

 

[Chuffed]

Farthat getting nervous, his time is near....

Just want to float my boat a bit

 

[On_the_up]

24 ball duck.

One of the less glorious ones.

 

[chui_kadoo]

oh well i spoke to soon. Farthead does what farthead does best

 

[Energy]

as long as we dont lose a wicket I dont care if there are 15 maidens. The plan should be to nullify the new ball

The plan is to nullify the new ball and then give the wickets.

 

[shan]

You cant leave everything, need to put pressure on England. I dont think conditions will change at all.

 

[pakmania]

Farhat gone!

Damn I shouldnt have jinxed them !

Man all that hard work unravelled there by Farhat.

 

[chui_kadoo]

farthead's misery continues. Another big fat 0

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

anda for fart-heart

 

[On_the_up]

Azhar Ali in next.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

The procession begins...... I fear

 

[Energy]

Azhar Ali comes out under testing conditions.

 

[haizen]

Send in Umar Gul to atleast take us to double figures before lunch

 

[Momo]

being cautious != scoring no run

 

[NJamal]

Folks now prepare for 120-130 allout

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

And gone for an andaa - well played farhat Wah !! - !!

 

[Chuffed]

Michael Hoding about Farhat's innings " This must be one of the worst ducks I've seen in Test cricket"

 

[Energy]

Holding - this is one of the worst ducks ever in test cricket!

 

[Vegitto1]

Holding saying be a bit more attacking!

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol holding pretty critical of butt
