England v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Manchester | Jul 22-26, 2016 | Day 1

[Syed1]

Ball is going to start reversing in 10-15 overs time..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Don't worry guys. The wickets will come in heaps.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Does asad shafiq bowl off spin?

 

[ExplicitAI]

100 up for Eng

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[BleedGreen]

uff need a wicket!

 

[Syed1]

Swinging for Rahat

 

[srh]

bad toss to lose

 

[Aviator]

Yasir to take a wicket in an over or two....

 

[JibranAnsari]

We can not expect england to make the same mistakes against Yasir every time.

 

[Syed1]

These are the best two English batsmen, get these two and it should be easy going. We saw it in the first test as well..

 

[Swaraj!!]

I know Yasir Shah's a different beast altogether, but similar progress to Bishoo on a first day pitch!! Also a few more hit-me balls. Is he totally recovered from his practice injury?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Root is a true heir of Slytherin

 

[srh]

has Saqlain Mushtaq solved the Yasir Shah question for England?

 

[BleedGreen]

chauka

 

[kajukatri]

Bhai score kya hai ?

 

[Syed1]

Rahat Ali ne tou har over mein aek chauka khana hota hai.. what a lullooo... dafa karo yaar issay

 

[Strike!]

What's up with the boos?

 

[ViciousMachine]

The problem is not just the score, it is also that neither batsman looks even remotely bothered by anything. Seems only a miracle would get us a wicket right now..... 50 for Root

 

[yasir]

Test Cricket is not fun to watch when ball does not do any thing

 

[Syed1]

Why are they booing?

 

[Swaraj!!]

111/1 .... nice score and :50 for Root

 

[BleedGreen]

Nelson. 111-1

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shabash jawano

Inn firangion ki Killian uraa dalo

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rahat bowling garbage as usual, his lucky 3 wickets in last test saved his place for this one!

 

[srh]

England may score 350 today

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Why are they booing?

its not booooos its Roooooooooooooooooooot
Thats what they usually do whenever Root hits a boundry

 

[castortroy]

I did say cook and root would both Ton up.

Game over

 

[Shafi]

When Hafeez, Shan Masood or Azhar Ali will bat it will be like minefield against Anderson and co

 

[Ab Fan]

Time for ROOT to hit a century and take England to front seat on day1.

 

[BleedGreen]

match going out of our hands...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Just need to break this partnership

 

[ViciousMachine]

its not booooos its Roooooooooooooooooooot
Thats what they usually do whenever Root hits a boundry

Also cause Root got his 50.

 

[srh]

try to break this partnership before 100

 

[Executioner]

When was the last time Bangladesh won in England?

Oh wait.... when was the last time you even were invited to England?

When did thread became a Bangladesh bashing thread, and for the record we visited England last back in 2010

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Yasir slowly finding his groove, others must step up, he won't always perform.

 

[BleedGreen]

5 overs to go for swing. Then bring wahab on

 

[lahoriyah1234]

England have won a good toss. So i wont be surprised if we get a phanti here for around 400. Its up to Pakistani bowlers to make breakthroughs so england wont cross 350 otherwise, we wont be able to save this match, unless younis khan becomes a devil again and hit 200 inning here. But we need to get cook wicket here or root.

 

[srh]

Lord's win masks the issues with Pak bowling attack

 

[Syed1]

When did thread became a Bangladesh bashing thread, and for the record we visited England last back in 2010

Simple equation, bash Pakistan - get bashed

 

[Executioner]

I don't think the toss would make much of a difference. England seem to be far more serious this time around, last time they were favourites but they didn't play the best brand of cricket possible.

For example, Root's dismissal against Yasir Shah in the first innings showed lack of concentration. This time, they know very well to play out Yasir Shah as much as possible. He is the true dangerman on this wicket, well any wicket.

 

[Executioner]

Simple equation, bash Pakistan - get bashed

And where did I bash Pakistan?

 

[Markhor]

Lack of 5th bowler hurting us. Might be worth bringing Azhar on for a couple of overs.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Lord's win masks the issues with Pak bowling attack

Mask what that England played a poor shots and lost the match then yes, but even our batsmen played pathetic shots to get out, so i wont say England attack is dangerous one at all. On this pitch it will be hard to take 20 wickets for other side. We didn't win the last game with a fluke it was a grear wicket for us.

 

[srh]

Rahat Ali has to click for Pakistan to have a chance

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

We are heavily dependent on Yasir, that too in overseas, which is ridiculous to see, fast bowlers must step up or retire.

 

[BleedGreen]

match slipping

 

[Syed1]

I think Misbah needs to go left-field and employ Azhar.

AA has a mean googly and the English wouldn't have seen him before.

 

[srh]

both batsmen set for 100

 

[lahoriyah1234]

match slipping

Slipping where its 2nd session of the first day.

 

[Syed1]

match slipping

I must be watching a different match because the score is only 120/1, is your broadcast showing 350/1?

 

[srh]

I think Misbah needs to go left-field and employ Azhar.

AA has a mean googly and the English wouldn't have seen him before.

Pak should have selected Zulfi Baba for England to face left arm spin

 

[Syed1]

Ohhhhh almost

 

[samplepiece]

A 100 run stand and Pakistani fans become critical of their bowling. A 100 run stand and the Indian fans are like, 'we are just getting started!'

 

[1992CorneredTiger]

Yes England are ahead but it doesn't mean its game over already, couple of quick wickets and were right back in it...no need to panic.

 

[Fahdi]

Come on Rahat get the ball in the right area. We need a wicket

 

[Syed1]

Come on Rahat get the ball in the right area. We need a wicket

Too much to ask from Rahat luloo..

 

[Syed1]

A four ball coming up soon from Rahat

 

[Syed1]

Like I said

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

We need someone to start a choke here, I believe practically we're one wicket away from creating absolute havoc for the English. String a bunch of deliveries and and we might induce a mistake.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Betting line says that Eng are projected to score close to 500 from this stage (480 is projection). That is crazy. We need some wickets boys, but even if no wickets, can we get 4-5 tight overs in a row at least???

 

[Syed1]

Need to have a couple of overs with next to nothing scored. Root is the kind of batsman that likes to keep the score ticking and will get frustrated..

 

[BleedGreen]

turnn

 

[Gone]

I think Root is too good of a batsman to repeat his mistakes again, will realise he needs to be sensible.

 

[BleedGreen]

Need a wicket in next 2-3 overs

 

[Syed1]

Yasir beginning to trouble Cook

 

[srh]

I think Root is too good of a batsman to repeat his mistakes again, will realise he needs to be sensible.

Root > Kohli

 

[srh]

finally a maiden

 

[Balthazar]

What a toothless fast bowlers.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Boys Aaa rahe hay wicket bas !!

 

[Syed1]

What a toothless fast bowlers.

If Pakistani pacers are toothless than Indian are even gumless

 

[Syed1]

Couple of maidens please

 

[Gone]

Root > Kohli

Atm, yes he is. In Tests.

 

[BleedGreen]

match looking tough now

 

[srh]

Atm, yes he is. In Tests.

yeah i mean tests

 

[BleedGreen]

What a toothless fast bowlers.

indian bowlers ... ) )

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

If Pakistani pacers are toothless than Indian are even gumless

Mate, you're being too kind here. I would put them to having no facial cavity to begin with.

 

[Syed1]

Lo jee Rahat bowls a wide.. What a fazul lullooo

 

[aslaisnomasla]

What a toothless fast bowlers.

Please rent us your bizzare teeth bowler ishant Sharma

 

[Majestic_Inzi]
