England v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Birmingham | Aug 3-7, 2016 | Day 1

[Pete Rose]

Alex Hales quite cautious

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

2 back to back maidens.....Sher khan please keep it simple!!!

 

[Nothing matters]

again that short of a length rubbish.

 

[Pete Rose]

Aaamir needs to bowl a couple of surprise bouncers at hales. He is right in front of his stumps

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need to pitch fuller.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That was close

 

[Red Devil]

Ohhhh almost got him

 

[Adijazz1706]

Need to go fuller to swing it.

 

[Pete Rose]

Almost....

 

[run-out]

why its not showing in India? any one?

 

[Abdul]

Almost. . .

 

[Pete Rose]

I think Sohail is doing well so far. People expecting magical deliveries.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Almost !!!

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

why its not showing in India? any one?

this is simply disgusting
dont know why they aint showning it.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

England's have raced to a 5 runs lead

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sohail Khan with blistering average of 245

After 200 Test matches.

 

[shah_1]

Pitch the ball up

 

[mango_bite7]

why its not showing in India? any one?

[GLORY OF '92]

Really need wickets soon otherwise England will get 300+

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Needs to bowl a bit fuller Sohail

 

[Mamoon]

Can't watch it on Star Sports HD1.

Thank you Dish TV.

 

[Pete Rose]

Much better discipline overall so far. No easy boundaries.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good discaplined start here and cook lucky he didnt drag that on!

 

[Mainul]

Sohail Khan with blistering average of 245

!!! Then I am a strong candidate as a bowler for Pakistan. I can't do worse than that stat! Just wao.

 

[fazleefridi]

Why its not being telecasted in INDIA..2 tests were telecasted but not t 3rd one...Any problems wit broadcasting?

 

[shah_1]

Too short

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too damn short

 

[Adijazz1706]

SK bowling at ~130, too slow.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another 600 imminent.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

2 Test matches....

 

[the Great Khan]

lol be patient..this is gonna be a grind..we need to prevent them from scoring bog them down..

 

[#GreenRoars]

Don't go towards leg side dear.

 

[Markhor]

Lol Yasir's a character.

 

[Pete Rose]

Spoke too soon.

 

[Mamoon]

Our pace attack is better than Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and West Indies only.

Sri Lankan pacers were more impressive earlier in the summer in England.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Another 600 imminent.

Totally

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

All that good work in the first 3 overs reduced to nothing

 

[Red Devil]

Amir too wayward today

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That's not the place to bowl to cook..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Bad decisiom to Bowl first

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor bowling.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

there goes the pressure .........

 

[Amjid Javed]

couple of loose deliveries at end of the over, we cant afford that.

 

[street cricketer]

So I got the bowlers predictions right

Remains to be seen if they can vindicate my prediction.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan don't have one good fast bowler.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Keep bowling tight in a good line, wickets will come.

Still Amir is not pitching fuller.

 

[Rana]

It doesnt matter about conditions and field placings if you are going to bowl rubbish!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to stay off both batsmens pad for goodness sake

 

[Abdul]

Pakistan don't have one good fast bowler.

You're wrong, Mohammad Amir is the best bowler in the world.

 

[JibranAnsari]

No pace no swing no venom and poor decision to bowl first.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

misbah and the mgmt cost us the game already by bowling first...another 600 runs on card

 

[shah_1]

Poor bowling

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shaba Sohail, need good bowling performance from you.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

if amir cant bowl in these conditions ...he is finished

 

[Pete Rose]

Good first ball

 

[MMHS]

New ball bowling is all time lowest for PAK - it's tough to maintain 7-2 field if 17 runs is equally splitted between off & on side (albeit a left right combo, but that's more or less common these days, one has to adjust)

 

[Shafi]

As usual flat bowling except!!! We seriously need professional fast bowling coach

 

[Indiafan]

misbah and the mgmt cost us the game already by bowling first...another 600 runs on card

Anderson and co would have extracted much more on this pitch. Have you seen the history of this wicket? Team batting first have never won last 7 matches

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Not coming in enough

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good delivery Sohail Khan, very good.

 

[hur rizvi]

No, we don't back ourselves to bat second, irrespective of the conditions.

So it's a bold decision.

Bold would have been to bat upfront. There is no bravery in hiding from Broad and Anderson on day 1

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

healthy run rate !!!

 

[yasir]

Wicket is pretty flat, not much pace, bounce or swing... Does not looks like bat first wicket. Misbah did that Because of recent history on ground, plus rain for last few days

[marlonbrowndo]

Hahahah why were they even thinking of it

 

[Mamoon]

No spark at all.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Totally wrong. Pitch wont help you if you dont know where to bowl.

Check the near history of this pitch and you will get your answer.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What is rahat going to do with semi new ball? Rid him of his only weapon.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

it is birmingham .... clouds will come.

 

[street cricketer]

Oh stop wrist slitting about the decision to bowl already..

Misbah would be castigated here had he elected to bat and if the openers had lost their wickets (which would happen regardless).

 

[Mamoon]

Our batsmen don't like batting under scoreboard pressure, so it's a bold decision.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bowling barely 130 and grunting like hulk.

 

[#GreenRoars]

And plus our fragile batting.

 

[hur rizvi]

Control of our seamers has been appalling in this series

 

[#GreenRoars]

Some people have habit of crying at every thing with 0 patience.

 

[the Great Khan]

looks like we may be chasing leather again..oh well..

 

[Shafi]

You're wrong, Mohammad Amir is the best bowler in the world.

Sarcasm at its' best!!! Nobody saying Amir is the best.Amir is not his best for sure and its too early for his test return against professional team like England in their home ground

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir is just going through motions.

[#GreenRoars]

Again leg side bowling from Amir

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Some rubbish bowling here so far...
