England v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Manchester | Jul 23-26, 2016 | Day 2

[aukhan]

Azhar

 

[On_the_up]

Ali's looked horrible technique wise on this tour, what's happened to him?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Azhar has had a terrible series so far.

 

[Pete Rose]

That strangled technique of azhar Ali.

 

[MMHS]

My goodness - Azhar has moved from 0 to 1 in almost same time I have driven to Pickering from Toronto. Oops!!!! gone.

May be he should focus on ODI & T20, rather than Test.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Awful cricket.

 

[PakFan2010]

Flat pitch and 43-2...

 

[Syed1]

Innings defeat coming up boys

 

[castortroy]

England have woakes and stokes who are probably 2 of the best all rounders in the game at present

 

[Red Devil]

Freaking hell. We're making Woakes look like the greatest allrounder to ever play the game. Smh.

 

[On_the_up]

Strictly come in.

 

[Hasan123]

Nothing shot from Azhar. What's going on here? Why are we making woakes look world class? Out of form South African players in the winter played him with ease

 

[New Yorker]

He's tempremeantly strong you see. He doesn't throw his wicket away and is willing to bat for long periods. He will improve against spin.

Right, I know, but that's a little different from technique. Which is why I personally think technique is overrated.

 

[Firebreaker]

On the other hand,Pakistani Joe Root fails again

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Suddenly Masood looks like our best batsman in comparison.

 

[shah_1]

Azhar is another SC bully

 

[IAJ]

What an overrated player.

 

[Aviator]

Any words for azhar here???

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What a lame dismissal.

 

[New Yorker]

Freaking hell. We're making Woakes look like the greatest allrounder to ever play the game. Smh.

How can you know he won't be?

 

[castortroy]

Even on the flattest deck out batting will inevitably flop

 

[Syed1]

My goodness - Azhar has moved from 0 to 1 in almost same time I have driven to Pickering from Toronto. Oops!!!! gone.

May be he should focus on ODI & T20, rather than Test.

First of all Pickering to Toronto is quite an ambigous statement. Pickering is only 20 minutes away if you live near the 401.

Secondly Shan has been farming the strike for the last two three overs.

 

[MMHS]

Must appreciate the courageous old man - any other player, Rahat would have got a promotion.

 

[The_KING]

Need Misbah and Younis again to make a hundred. Our top 3 disappointing again. The rain is our only saviour. Making a bowler who is decent at best look great. Pathetic stuff.

 

[in_cutter]

Poor batting

 

[Pantani]

Pakistan need to focus on avoiding the follow on

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Nothing less than a ton from both these guys is required

 

[Pete Rose]

The younis khan ballet begins

 

[Sadevdesai]

May be, more push ups needed !!!

 

[Firebreaker]

Ali's looked horrible technique wise on this tour, what's happened to him?

Tbh he has been quite bad since returning from Hajj and death of his relative back in November

 

[Adijazz1706]

That doesn't really justify his selection.

Now Azhar goes but he is still there, who would you have to replace him.

We are playing like WI in their match, losing wickets to the scoreboard pressure

 

[Hasan123]

Right, I know, but that's a little different from technique. Which is why I personally think technique is overrated.

He's out form it seems.

 

[IAJ]

Azhar has had a terrible series so far.

Didn't he have an awful tour in 2010 also?

 

[Cricketrenew]

Sky not showing follow through woakes getting close to stumps then is he getting off

 

[Red Devil]

How can you know he won't be?

C'mon man.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Speechless. The only explanation could be is that he lost sight of the ball.

 

[farazaidi]

How many overs left? Testing time for Younus bhai

[castortroy]

Considering we have worst tail in world cricket, 2 more wickets and the game will be over

 

[Hasan123]

Don't make stokes look world class

 

[On_the_up]

Suddenly Masood looks like our best batsman in comparison.

Was just thinking that. LOL

 

[Adijazz1706]

Younis Khan to streetdance again?

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Woakes is playing with cheat codes on

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Dance away into the night Younis.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Now we need some extra ordinary stuff from YK, Misbah and Asad.

 

[MMHS]

First of all Pickering to Toronto is quite an ambigous statement. Pickering is only 20 minutes away if you live near the 401.

Secondly Shan has been farming the strike for the last two three overs.

As usual, trying too smart - what about if I start from Downtown or Steeles-Kipling?

Why you always call bamboo towards you?

 

[Red Devil]

Didn't he have an awful tour in 2010 also?

That was his debut series but even then he played a couple of good innings.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

4th Innings Champion is here..... Need something special from YK today....


Baba Ji kuch kar doh please !!

 

[The_KING]

How the hell are we making Woakes look great ffs?

 

[shah_1]

Dancer Khan

 

[Aviator]

Last hope, The Great Younis Khan....

 

[Saeed]

Woakes had ordinary average before this series. We have made him into some sort of bowling legend.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Haha the dancing shoes are on already!

 

[Hasan123]

Team man already playing hopscotch

 

[farazaidi]

4 overs to negotiate

Whilst we have jokes and hoax

 

[Firebreaker]

At least Shan Masood can stay there for long enough

 

[farazaidi]

Now this is the test, Younus vs Woakes

[Pete Rose]

Azhar Ali could have eased a few of those woakes deliveries to the legside. It's a shame he went with his formula blocking

 

[Hasan123]

Can't see us getting 500 in this 1st innings.

 

[uberkoen]

Oh yaar just cause the other players are performing worse than a another horrible player does not justify his selection.

Azhar Ali averages above 40 in both ODI and Tests. Hafeez also has an average over 40 in tests. Shan hasn't done anything to justify his selection. Even if he scores a 100 in the game that does not justify his selection as he's a mediocre player who looks rather poor our there. My question was, is he the best we have?

 

[The_KING]

ffs YK play properly and stop with this ridiculous dancing.

 

[Saeed]

I hope it rains for next few days. No way we're winning this match.

 

[dirk diggler]

Yk floating like a butterfly

 

[Hasan123]

Dancing and hoping around )

 

[Seen Sheen]

Flamingo at work!

 

[Shafi]

Azhar FTB out!!!!This guy is another Hafeez making. People complaining against Masood should complain against those 2 first.

 

[Pete Rose]

Younis is playing like Azhar Ali at the moment

 

[farazaidi]

Can't see us getting 500 in this 1st innings.

390 is the first target [emoji1]

[On_the_up]

Inide edge saved YK

 

[Hasan123]

On the positive at least Shan has got out yet. Bet we all though he would be the first one out.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Thank You Azhar!!! you are the best warm up bully in our team.Well done

 

[On_the_up]

Yk floating like a butterfly

Hope he doesn't sting like a flea.

 

[The_KING]

I miss Younis of 2006

 

[Waqarkhan]

YK dancing might help spinners later on in the game

How many matches Shan, Hafeez and Azhar played?

 

[ExplicitAI]

LOOL we're two down already )

Even that is looking difficult!

 

[New Yorker]

What a lame dismissal.

Time for Younis to blunt the new ball for Misbah

 

[GreenKnightRises]

All I see is a 150 and 220 allout from our both innings

 

[Speedster1]

The 'drunken giraffe' as boycott put it at work
