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

[akamaka]

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.

)))
All bowlers feel like they are being given gifts when playing against pak.

 

[On_the_up]

Looking at the positive, at least we are not gifting wickets away.

 

[chill79]

Pak 1st Inning score 127 allout

 

[chui_kadoo]

Yousuf would of made a 100 in these conditions. I guess he wished he was out there in the middle

 

[90MPH]

These conditions will be tough all day. I really can't see Pakistan going past 150 that's y I wanted them to bowl first.

 

[Energy]

8/1 after 10.

 

[pakmania]

Oh lord an ad with that lunatic Chris Kamara !

 

[Amir]

Just woke up. Why did we chose to bat first? What did Butt say at toss?

 

[Amjid Javed]

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?

Pretty poor decision espcially the way we bat!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Also: India need 257 to win to level the series against the lanks!

 

[pakmania]

Yaar we might as well distribute mithai whilst we are at it.

 

[iZeeshan]

The ball's not going to get older if it's not going to get hit!

 

[pak-fan]

Why are we batting first in these conditions?

butt k andr ponting ki badrooh to nai agyi?

 

[ZAK]

Good leave by Butt!

 

[Oxy]

Waqar and Moyo in conference.

Did you see any groupings?

 

[pakbl10]

Stupid decision by Pakistan to bat first, reminds me of Pontings decision to bat and us getting Aus all out for 88.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just woke up. Why did we chose to bat first? What did Butt say at toss?

He said he hoped to have england 4/5 wickets down by Close of play to get back in the game!

 

[iZeeshan]

Anderson has to be taken off at some point

Let's hope they go after Finn

 

[On_the_up]

Run!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

8/1 - 11th over

 

[pakmania]

This is a result of being brought up on flat tracks.Gotta have seaming wickets and technique coaching at grassroots.

 

[Energy]

Run finally! - Butt doing the honors.

 

[Vegitto1]

A run!!!!

 

[ZAK]

Single to Butt.

 

[KA$H]

sounds as is Butt is a sitting duck to anderson here

 

[iZeeshan]

Finally runs off the bat

9-1

 

[Dr. Khan]

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

This ball does need a few overs before it starts swinging.
Anderson is hardly the same bowler without the swing

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol a single

 

[pakbl10]

Run.

 

[Oxy]

Just woke up.

Unlike who is 'tired'

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

This thuk-thuk mode aint gettin` us anywhere!!

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Finally a run after 50 deliveries

 

[chui_kadoo]

predict the runs scored by lunch? My guess is 47 runs.

 

[On_the_up]

Left alone by Azhar Ali.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

WOOOOOOOOO! - a run - finally !!

 

[Oxy]

Let's hope they go after Finn

 

[pakmania]

Did you see any groupings?

Just an oath.

 

[iZeeshan]

predict the runs scored by lunch? My guess is 47 runs.

63

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Score SLOWLY creeps upto "9"

 

[Dr. Khan]

Damn they are scared of Anderson, I just heard Salman on the mic - koi nahi, allah ka naam ley kai

 

[On_the_up]

Actually Pakistan have done very well to only be 1 down at the moment.

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

pak 9-1
india 10-1

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Both broad & jimmy bowling with their talis up!!

 

[sohaibsyed]

hang in there pakistan!

 

[Chuffed]

Everything is so well disciplined from England, not many losse deliveries. And the ones that have come, we've not punished.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

11 gone - 9/1

 

[ZAK]

Finn comes into the attack.

 

[iZeeshan]

Finn in

Let's make a mockery of him

 

[pakmania]

Thank god its juma today !

Might wanna pray 2 extra rakat

 

[atif.raza]

why r u guys so impatient? There are hardly any bad balls. Do you want to see 15/4?

Lets be pateint and dont loose more wickets before lunch.

 

[Energy]

Finn comes on. Now, can we start scoring?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

butt 7(33)* - Ali 0(10)*

 

[On_the_up]

Finn to replace Broad

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Here comes the "next mcgrath"

 

[Chuffed]

We need to attack Finn!

 

[iZeeshan]

Butt needs to set an example

 

[On_the_up]

At this rate Pakistan will be about 26 by Lunch.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

comeon...... atleast hit the trundler Finn

 

[akamaka]

azhar trying to beat farhat's legendary 24 ball andaa!

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Pretty poor decision espcially the way we bat!

Am guessing they are waiting for the sun to come out so the pitch can ease up and then it would be easy to score runs. Til then they want to defend and not lose a wicket that's the only explanation I can think of.

 

[NJamal]

Both broad & jimmy bowling with their talis up!!

Hope that the tail dont let them bowl well

 

[Oxy]

I'd like to see Sehwag bat in these conditions...

 

[masterblaster10]

Thats the funniest thing ive heard all week. Good one.

 

[KingKhanWC]

comeon...... atleast hit the trundler Finn

Finn has been England best bowler this 'autumn' so far.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Playing like this is asking for trouble because england will just keep attacking fields until A pakistan batsmen decides to throw a wicket away!

Need to try and score some runs FFS!

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

Damn they are scared of Anderson, I just heard Salman on the mic - koi nahi, allah ka naam ley kai

hahahha i heard that too ..he said azhri beta koi nahi ,allah ka naam le kay:aali

 

[Chuffed]

0.76 RR. We'd do Mark Richardson proud!

 

[ZAK]

Pakistan RR 0.77

 

[NJamal]

Runrate 0.77 per over

 

[NorthStar]

Butt has scored 78% of Pak runs!!

 

[pakbl10]

Am guessing they are waiting for the sun to come out so the pitch can ease up and then it would be easy to score runs. Til then they want to defend and not lose a wicket that's the only explanation I can think of.

There's no sun in the forecast, though.

 

[Strike!]

Warne: Butt is on fire. )

 

[On_the_up]

9-1 (12)

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

This is what happens when you have non-educated paindus in the team.

 

[James]

Butt's on fire, 7 off 37 balls with a boundary. he's absolutely creaming them Mike!
- Shane Warne

 

[sohaibsyed]

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

 

[adidazz]

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

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

lol at the commies bashing pak

 

[James]

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

lol.

 

[Strike!]

Wow the commentary. )
