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

[MAJID-SHAH]

anyway 12 gone - 9/1

 

[midaz]

maidens after maidens. i wonder when will they start scoring

 

[Chuffed]

What's up with the commentators, especially holding and warne??

They're laughing at Club cricketers pretending to be Test-class batsmen, do you blame them?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Gotta love warne!

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

There's no sun in the forecast, though.

Then I have no clue what Butt and Pakistan are thinking. Are they trying to defend everything and bat for 5 days for a draw?

 

[James]

What's up with the commentators, especially holding and warne??

they're clearly part of the racist anti-Asian bias in the ICC, Sky and all of cricket

 

[On_the_up]

Jimmy wicketless after 7 overs. Spell should be near the end.

 

[Energy]

Yes England have bowled well. But even our approach is not positive at all.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

anderson to continue.....!

 

[Momo]

Pakistanis are champions of the well-left stroke.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

May be Salman But thinks that if we do England here...i.e. bat first we can win the match.... But the thing he is forgetting that Kami isn't playing for England in this test match..

 

[NJamal]

at last Azhar Ali can bat on ball

 

[Amjid Javed]

We might Reach 25 by lunch! zzzz!

 

[ZAK]

9/1

 

[shan]

Brits commentators hates Pak team, give them a break.

 

[Boi]

Another maiden. Times like these, you wish Shahid was there.

 

[sohaibsyed]

well we have managed to lose only one wicket

 

[Dr. Khan]

bad delivery - let holding bat it out in the middle

 

[Desire]

if pak runrate goes 0.0x will that be a world record??

 

[Strike!]

Pathetic display from Pakistan.

 

[Chuffed]

Butt

 

[ZAK]

Butt

 

[Boi]

Butt gone.

 

[shan]

lol at butt

 

[haizen]

Gone...well done Captain

 

[Obeid]

Pakistan need to close shop now.

 

[James]

Brits commentators hates Pak team, give them a break.

Yeah, Brit commentators such as Shane Warne (Aus) and Michael Holding (WI).

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

What an eventful morning thus far!

 

[sohaibsyed]

goes

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Butt goneeeeeeee

 

[Maula Jutt]

9/2

 

[*sallu*]

Well Played

 

[Energy]

Now then, I have nothing more to say. Butt gone.

 

[insaftak]

Shabash BUTT!!!

 

[pak4life]

To be fair there have been no poor balls to hit apart from a few on the legside at the start. Bowling has been too good in these conditions.

 

[akamaka]

This reminds me of watching Nasser Hussain bat
- another cracker from Warne

lol.

is nasser in the com box at the moment?

 

[NJamal]

Butta gone what an innings

 

[sohaibsyed]

o boy we r staring down the barrel

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!1!!!!!!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

9 runs in 1st hours play! ***!

 

[Strike!]

**** off butt.

 

[Momo]

Another maiden. Times like these, you wish Shahid was there.

I wish that extremely frequently.

 

[Oxy]

lol the commentators are having a real go at pak arent they lol

Do you blame them?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

well played skip!

 

[Big Mac]

There you go, Holding and PP wanted to see us attacking full deliveries and Butt acquiesced to your wishes. Did you enjoy the result?

I want to see more thuk-thuk.

 

[Desire]

its over for me!! pak has lost the match when first ball was bowled.

 

[pakmania]

The captain's innings comes to end.

 

[James]

if pak runrate goes 0.0x will that be a world record??

England should aim to have conceded 10 runs after 20 overs. a run rate of 0.5 after 20 overs would surely be a record of some sort.

 

[Chuffed]

Brits commentators hates Pak team, give them a break.

So do I and all of Pakistan at the moment. They are second-rate, we maintain our respect because of our bowlers.

 

[DonJee]

arrggghhhh --- this is so frustrating!!

 

[Obeid]

Let's play a T20 innings. Malik 30 off 20, U Akmal 50, Azhar Ali 40 off 60 (thats his T20), Umar Amin 20 off 15.

We're getting nowhere with this, we're about to be 15/3 again.

 

[Oxy]

is nasser in the com box at the moment?

Hes 3rd MAn

 

[Dr. Khan]

Had we only lost one till now then this strategy might have been alright.
I have no idea what we could do better, only thing is to maybe have bowled first.

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Someone tell these brainless farts to score it doesn't matter if you lose wickets in the process. Had Butt and Farhat scored it would have been atleast 40/2 instead of 9/2

 

[akamaka]

88 all out!

 

[haizen]

I predict 25/4 at lunch

 

[Amjid Javed]

Butt Gone!

All that time just poking around has been wasted!

Really pathetic stuff from Pakistan!

 

[NJamal]

Now Don Malik will come to bat. Dont worry Folks he will score 9 of 228 deliveries and pull Pakistan out of trouble.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Have to say that Pakistans batting looks the worst in international cricket by miles!

 

[asif9138]

aik aurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

 

[James]

is nasser in the com box at the moment?

yep he said it directly to Nasser, they're sat next to each other. 'I remember you smashing us all over the park ten years ago at this very ground Nass, even a couple of boundaries in there'

 

[shan]

Tuk tuk didnt work in 1st innings wont work here.

 

[Maula Jutt]

I can just hope.. that Pak's performance has some plan behind it. Or else we are doomed.

 

[Theo_14]

I just woke up, and why on earth are Pakistan batting first?!

and only 9 runs in the first hour, that's just shocking.

 

[chui_kadoo]

well played BUTT. A great toss to win and what a captains knock.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Great start lads!!

 

[Big Mac]

Let's hope Malik blocks his way to 10* at stumps tonight :

 

[pakmania]

Mirza in,the man who's cost us our two best batsmen.If it werent for him,we might have actually scored some damn runs.He had better redeem himself.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

I just woke up, and why on earth are Pakistan batting first?!

and only 9 runs in the first hour, that's just shocking.

2 wickets down also

 

[shan]

England should dissapointed if pak pass 100.

 

[James]

'he took 24 balls to make this duck'
- Holding

best toss to lose ever.

 

[Dr. Khan]

The problem I have with our team - regardless whether it is tests or ODI.
When the pressure is on like this, you have to try and get a single some how - to switch ends force a change in tactics for the other batsmen. Also slowly you start getting to the bowlers.

 

[Energy]

Malik with 3 runs.

 

[Boi]

Nice drive from Malik and they get 3.

 

[ZAK]

3 to Malik.

 

[pakmania]

Good shot,3 runs.

 

[Momo]

There you go, Holding and PP wanted to see us attacking full deliveries and Butt acquiesced to your wishes. Did you enjoy the result?

I want to see more thuk-thuk.

The problem is, thuk thuk inevitably results in results that you don't like.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

9/2 - 14th over !!

 

[chui_kadoo]

I just hope they dont break the world record for the lowest test score

 

[iZeeshan]

Nice start by Malik

Let's get a 100 run partnership here!

Remember when we were 7-2 once and then reached 300 something?

Yeah
