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

[KA$H]

oh well

 

[Big Mac]

Shut up Holding, can't hit the ball if you don't see a lot of bad balls.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

8/1 - oh dear...oh dear....

 

[sohaibsyed]

i mean farhat

 

[Oxy]

Even by Pak opener standards, this was the most inevitable, most predicatble wkt of all time!

 

[pakmania]

EXACTLY MICHAEL HOLDING !!!

This tuk-tuk is just not our style.

 

[Strike!]

Holding "That is the worst duck i've seen" )

 

[asif9138]

chalo gi...khata khul gia..wicket ka!!!

 

[Energy]

8/1 Pakistan after 8 overs.

 

[chui_kadoo]

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

oh well I guess its doom and gloom either way

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So 1 down with 8 on the board and in 8 overs!

Farhat lays a duck off 24 balls!

 

[Dr. Khan]

Maybe Butt thinking about his decision to bat first.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Usual **** start from Pakistan.

Cant see them passing 200 mark in these conditions!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So 1 down with 8 on the board and in 8 overs!

Farhat lays a duck off 24 balls!

 

[On_the_up]

Time for a Lunch watchman?:aamir

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Farhat played a real get didn`t he - great idea to leave hameed out !!

 

[ZAK]

8/1

 

[NJamal]

Holding is saying thats I of the worst duck I had ever saw

 

[IAJ]

Had he played some shots he could have frustrated the bowlers, but now he has messed it up for his team.

Ek fifty bana key 10 matches ki jaggah bana letey hain!

 

[pak4life]

farhat tried is best to hang around but his just not good enough same poor technique

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

In walks Azhar.....

 

[Chuffed]

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

I said it first

 

[chui_kadoo]

I cant see Azhar Ali lasting with his rigid technique ala Mansoor Amjad. I can see a nick coming

 

[iZeeshan]

This is going to end horribly

They're not even playing, they're just dying slowly out there

 

[Amjid Javed]

I can see us being 4 down atleast before lunch!

 

[haizen]

Good. Let's have Farhat in for the next 2 matches as well while Hameed rots on the bench

 

[Energy]

Anderson bowling very well from around the wicket.

 

[*sallu*]

We're not getting more than 150 in these conditions

 

[pakmania]

Was it right for Azhar Ali to come in at Number 3 when the ball is swinging miles ?

Should have been an experienced batsman who should've came in instead.

 

[chui_kadoo]

So 1 down with 8 on the board and in 8 overs!

Farhat lays a duck off 24 balls!

oh well I guess atleast it wasnt a golden one. LOL

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Farhat played a real get didn`t he - great idea to leave hameed out !! -

 

[sohaibsyed]

wow talk about bashing!

 

[Mohsin]

At least can't lose by an innings

 

[majiz]

jesus, we cant win can we!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Heres jimmy......

 

[Energy]

I said it first

I said it second

 

[On_the_up]

39 dot balls in a row

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

jesus, we cant win can we!

Of course we can.

 

[chui_kadoo]

farthead and Malik are part of the untouchables. They will never leave

 

[haizen]

Beautyyy

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Just start attacking now otherwise you aint gonna pass 150 (cuz its highly unlikely if you can manage to play 50 overs here)

 

[On_the_up]

make it 40

 

[shan]

wow great ball,

 

[Oxy]

That was a peach by Jimmy - orthadox inswing to Butt

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Salman on half-a-dozen* - Azhar on an andaa*

 

[On_the_up]

Butt surviving. Not sure how?

 

[shan]

wow, dont think they will score much today

 

[Energy]

8/1 after 9. Run-rate under 1.

 

[Obeid]

I know we should be positive and all that nonsense, but how are we expected to score off these deliveries? Seriously.

 

[pakmania]

MoYo will pleased he's down with jet-lag !

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Anderson is working up to the inswinger here

 

[offcutter]

AAG must be drooling with anticipation

 

[On_the_up]

Overs overtake the runs
8-1 (9)

 

[*sallu*]

Say whatever you want
This is class from Anderson
Absolute class

 

[Desire]

wait for lowest total ever in first innings record breaking up.

 

[Energy]

wow, dont think they will score much today

If they bad the whole day, that's more than enough.

 

[Khabri420]

Why are we batting first in these conditions?

 

[Momo]

Thuk thuk won't do. Start scoring now.

 

[Boi]

Broad: 4 - 3 - 2 - 1...nice. :younis

 

[chill79]

It was a real GUTSY knock by Farhat, not a lot of greats can produce such a duck BRAVO

 

[pakmania]

Warne and Holding trying to stick up for us though its kinda difficult !

 

[Oxy]

AAG must be drooling with anticipation

Will they have the same conditions when they are bowling in 3 hours time?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Maiden !!

 

[On_the_up]

This is what test cricket is about. Surviving the tough times.

 

[pak-fan]

We're not getting more than 150 in these conditions

100issed:

 

[masterblaster10]

Anderson is like a kid in a sweet shop. ill have some of that inswing, then that outswing oh and the edge of his bat as well. Thank you very much.

 

[Vegitto1]

The batting is more Puss Puss then Boom Boom

 

[iZeeshan]

We're letting England dictate the game under their own terms

That's why this is happening

9.2 overs gone, 8-1

 

[Oxy]

Why are we batting first in these conditions?

Something to do with 'construction' I think...

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Pakistan 8-1 after 9 overs, India 9-0 after 1!

 

[Energy]

Yousuf sitting with Waqar bhai - discussing something

 

[On_the_up]

Waqar sitting next to yousuf.

 

[Chuffed]

Really poor batting. No wonder we are labelled extremists, there's no middle ground with us.

 

[Boi]

Aaahh...Yousuf.

 

[iZeeshan]

If Pakistan gets to bowl in the same conditions, England is not scoring more than a 100

Mark my words

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

First of all why did Salman won the toss and elected to bat when the ball is doing something with overcast conditions?

Second why in the blue they are defending and leaving everything alone?

 

[NJamal]

Azhar is the Master of Leaving balls

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan 8-1 after 9 overs, India 9-0 after 1!

If only it was 9-8 then it would've been a perfect .. something.

 

[Chuffed]

Say whatever you want
This is class from Anderson
Absolute class

It no doubt is class, but we did help him into his rhythm. He wasn't bowling this well in his first two overs.

 

[pakmania]

Waqar and Moyo in conference.
