[street cricketer]

[MENTION=136079]ahmedwaqas92[/MENTION] but Sohail Khan is pathetic because he not phaasttttt and he grunts a lot )

Need to get out of pace is pace yaaarrr mentality

 

[#GreenRoars]

Talk nah haters!

Sher Khan FTW

Hell yeah, where are haters now?

 

[Rana]

Shades of Billy Doctrove here

 

[hussain.r97]

Can't believe that was a maiden, so wayward!

 

[sully3]

Thanks to Sohail Khan for me proving me right about what i have been say from day 4 at Lords, 3 left armers was an overkill and out bowlers basically gifted the match to england by making it a net session

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need to get cook out asap.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Terrible umpiring.

 

[Pakprideuk]

Someone needs to speak to Rahat from mgmt. convey to him that hes no where near it and to just ignore the bs of the umpires. Get closer and keep bowling. If he warns you and we will need evidence of it which there wont be any of.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

If we bowl england out for 250 then that will justify misbahs decision to bowl first.

 

[hussain.r97]

So happy that they had the guts to drop Wahab Riaz.

 

[Mamoon]

I was expecting that you would say Sheer Khan bowled well

It was a good delivery, which forced a mistake.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ridiculous umpiring....

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sheer Khan needs good support now from other bowlers, may be Shah can do this.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ramiz is clueless. He wants Yasir to bowl when vince basically nicks anything on the off side from a pacer

 

[#GreenRoars]

Peeuuwww, inside edge.

 

[MMHS]

What PAK needs is half an hour of real tight cricket - may be 10 runs in next 7 overs; England could be 4 down by lunch. Bowling first wasn't a bad decision, but bowlers had to back that. But, I guess the damage is managed for a loose shot from Root. Now, needs to tighten the screw.

 

[Abdul]

Sohail Khan looks extremely tired.

 

[#GreenRoars]

One hell of a delivery Sheer.

 

[aroor]

Only four comments from [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] in the last two page. Pakistan must be doing well

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Another beauty... Hope Rahat doesn't get too distracted by this stupid umpiring

 

[Red Devil]

Should bring back Amir from the other end I think

 

[Pete Rose]

Ramiz is clueless. He wants Yasir to bowl when vince basically nicks anything on the off side from a pacer

RamiZ is a sky is blue grass is green kind of commentator. He knows nothing

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

OMG Sheer Khan making them look clueless !!

 

[majiz]

amir needs to come back and prove his worth now, take out cook

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Give Sohail Khan a rest now he's not the fittest. Try Amir again

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Should bring back Amir from the other end I think

Maaf karo yaar

 

[street cricketer]

Now if Rahat can bowl a bit better..

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Sadqay jaoun sher Khan k grunts pe

 

[Rana]

If cook goes soon, we are in serious business here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I think he nicked it

 

[Red Devil]

Maaf karo yaar

Sohail will need a break now man. Change of ends might help him find his line and length.

 

[street cricketer]

OMG Sheer Khan making them look clueless !!

Ghar ka Kohli..

Now Ghar ka Root

 

[Abdul]

amir needs to come back and prove his worth now, take out cook

His worth? Not sure what you're talking about.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too high but Rahat is getting some nice movement

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rahat shouldn't mind the drive. It's the cut that cook shouldn't be playing. Keep bowling there maybe a little less straight

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

No Problem Rahat about this boundary !! Was a good line and lenght ball !! Keep pegging here boys

 

[Ab Fan]

Cook is batting like a rockstar this series. The guy has transformed himself from a boring accumulator to 'take the attack to opposition'.

Its been a long time watching him bat like this.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Gower just owned Rameez.

 

[Pete Rose]

RamiZ getting trolled rightly

 

[shaz619]

He shares his first name with the phenom so this was pretty much expected loool.

RMF yk) Rahat also looking pretty threatening today.

Shoaib Akhtar paid him a visit with his cricket bat he is still bowling pies though although not as frequent in the last test

 

[shaz619]

Gower just owned Rameez.

what did he say?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just give Sohail one more

 

[#GreenRoars]

This should be last over for Sohail

 

[ExplicitAI]

Lool I told everyone that Sohail Khan was a good bowler for Pak, Wahab is an overhyped individual who has little skills with the bowl apart from pace.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

He will Nick one eventually

 

[IcedCoffee]

what did he say?

Rameez was describing Cook's innings as one a typical of a test opener--one which was cautious and without "belligerent" drives. Gower says "actually the stats suggest quite the opposite".

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Amir should come back and take couple of wickets....he still has to prove why he is in the team ?? Anyone's guess?

 

[nish_mate]

If Junaids was my doctor would have sued him for his false prognosis and have him struck from the medical register...

even my goldfish can predict better

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sohails really tiring now

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sohail needs to keep tight lines and vince will nick one!

 

[shaz619]

Amir should come back and take couple of wickets....he still has to prove why he is in the team ?? Anyone's guess?

He has been their best bowler, keeps a tight line and gets the ball to do a bit but is guilty of not pitching the ball up and making full use of the movement.

 

[street cricketer]

Wicket falls every 34 balls in the morning session at Edgbaston..

3 more overs for the next wicket.

 

[hussain.r97]

Give Sohail a rest now, let Yasir have a go at Vince.

 

[IcedCoffee]

More Halwa courtesy of your friendly neighborhood bowler, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

No not on the pads

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to focus on bowling one side of the wicket to cook and make him earn his runs.

 

[shaz619]

[MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] Rahat

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Rameez was describing Cook's innings as one a typical of a test opener--one which was cautious and without "belligerent" drives. Gower says "actually the stats suggest quite the opposite".

He wasn't a good commie to begin with plus his constant verbal Diarrhea in IPL and other tamasha leagues has made him nothing more than a narrative based commodity. Chisti is probably the most boring commie in the world right now but I am pretty sure he'd school Rambo day in day out in cricketing technicalities - especially the five day game !!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rahats getting enough movement when he bowls full...

 

[Markhor]

Vince averages 30 odd in his last two FC seasons for Hampshire.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pakistan not in a bad shape at all.

 

[street cricketer]

Cook batting like ODI cricket.

 

[Shafi]

Rahat will never learn!!! He is like a machine with no brain

 

[#GreenRoars]

Rahat and his garbage line

 

[marlonbrowndo]

keep angling it across Vince.

 

[Red Devil]

[MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] Rahat

I spoke too soon lol.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

England's batting is sooo shaky.

McGrath-Gillespie....Donald-Pollock....Ambrose-Walsh.....Wasim-Waqar would have ripped its heart out multiple times.

Modern era is not just the era of FTBing but also an era of inferior skills in test cricket imho.

Pakistan hasn't bowled 2 tight overs on a trott.

 

[hussain.r97]

Rahat

 

[marlonbrowndo]

First time he angles it across, Vince plays and misses. Bring back Amir and make both these guys angle it across Vince

 

[Junaids]

If Junaids was my doctor would have sued him for his false prognosis and have him struck from the medical register...

even my goldfish can predict better

Why?

Two wickets on the first morning but a run rate of over 4.1.

What's the difference between that and my prognosis?

 

[ExplicitAI]

That mighty bowling average of 245 went down to 91

 

[mango_bite7]

So any clue about Star Sports ? Why aren't they telecasting match ?

[sensible-indian-fan]

England may somehow want to hack it to 250 and have a go at Pakistan.

This England batting side ain't gonna win any damn thing overseas.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Savoir gets spanked for a 1st ball

 

[shaz619]

I spoke too soon lol.

At this rate they might have better luck with the physio! absolutely shocking bowling, even in the birmingham premier league which is one of the best club cricket leagues in the world you will find opening bowlers who keep things tight. This guy lacks control at the test level, It's hard to digest and I know Waqar leaving has hurt him more then the others but it's simply unacceptable. Releases all the pressure at the other end.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

damn ......

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good one

 

[nish_mate]

Why?

Two wickets on the first morning but a run rate of over 4.1.

What's the difference between that and my prognosis?

Becuase you are predicting 2 wickets to fall for the rest of the day for 280 odd runs, with one of the 2 gun bats in the team already in the hut.

That is why

 

[JibranAnsari]

We allow cook to score at 90 sr , our bowling is so poor.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Both these left at mets should come over the wicket and angle it across Vince.
