England v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Birmingham | Aug 3-7, 2016 | Day 2

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan should score 500 here

 

[Rana]

This is buffet bowling, as an avid cricket fan you would expect Finn to get smashed on that lenght

 

[uberkoen]

Pakistan should score 500 here

Has hell frozen over already?

 

[Mamoon]

Azhar has zero timing.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

89 mph from Finn

 

[uberkoen]

Why are England constantly bowling short and wide? Is that part of the plan here or something?

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar Ali moving a bit better

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Pakistan should score 500 here

Ill take 350

 

[Rana]

I so wish it was Afridi batting and not Azhar.....just against finn

 

[Rayyman]

Why are England constantly bowling short and wide? Is that part of the plan here or something?

They want a free wicket like the one Hafeez gave them.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good leave Azhar, good going.

 

[uberkoen]

I so wish it was Afridi batting and not Azhar.....just against finn

You want to see another 0(1)?

 

[Pete Rose]

It's Finn and his tripe

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Yar AA should smash this filth out of his sight - Long hop after long hop

 

[Fahdi]

Finn is bowling short. Should be punished

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rr drying up. We need runssa

 

[Pete Rose]

Yk style leave again

 

[Rana]

I understand the point of seeing off the new ball, but if you are not going to play fast enough as the innings gradually develops then you will not have enough runs before the 2nd new ball arrives. Weird strategy

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sami is phenomenal against spin. Will kill Moeen Ali

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Yar AA should smash this filth out of his sight - Long hop after long hop

He is scared of getting out like Hafeez did!!

 

[Third Man]

This is getting too cautious now.

 

[Anchorman]

Both batsmen have played 50 balls now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lovely shot...

 

[Pete Rose]

Beauty

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Beautifull shot

 

[Rana]

You want to see another 0(1)?

Finn has bowled 3 overs for 1 run

 

[Fahdi]

Short and wide rubbish from Finn and he is getting away with it. The English players would have wacked him for a few boundaries by now

 

[Pete Rose]

I think Sami has no comparison to Fawad Alam

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ouch...

 

[Muhammad10]

Class.

 

[Anchorman]

Sami is phenomenal against spin. Will kill Moeen Ali

You just jinxed him. Moeen is bound to get him now.

 

[Pete Rose]

Holding a bit defensive about Finn

 

[#GreenRoars]

Why are England constantly bowling short and wide? Is that part of the plan here or something?

Because they are thinking that Hafeez is still playing and he will gift his wicket.

 

[rollingstoned]

Azhar Ali looks awkward defending and at the same time can't even time the ball well when he needs to capitalise. Kills all momentum if you have a no. 3 like that.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ramiz tryna be dramatic...

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Ramiz is an awful commentator

 

[Abdul]

Sami Aslam has looked elegant.

 

[Mamoon]

I love Rameez's commentary.

 

[pak4life]

These two look untroubled. It will be typical Pakistan if they get out now without adding much to the total.

 

[Pete Rose]

Give it a rest Holding....

 

[sully3]

Steven Finn or Wahab Riaz who is the worse Test match bowler ?

 

[Mamoon]

Since we are not scoring at all, a collapse is likely.

Both batsmen are allowing the bowlers to dictate the tempo.

 

[Anchorman]

I love Rameez's commentary.

In a "so bad its good" kind of way?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Running on the danger zone and the English are crying. Well done for Holding to point it out.. Botham was speechless....

Botham was like ..... "Oh Holding, you must be watching some old match played at Mars."

 

[Pete Rose]

Ramiz swag

 

[sully3]

Not really surprised about Sami Aslam. When i came back from the 2nd tour match i saw him have an extensive net against Amir and Yasir and he looked like Pakistans most technically secure batsman.

Also his shot range against the spinners is wonderful

 

[Pete Rose]

Sami moving a bit far too across.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbah and Asad milked Finn really well at Lords

 

[Mamoon]

In a "so bad its good" kind of way?

His usage of English is hilarious and unique.

 

[yasir]

These two are openers Pakistan should invest in future. There technique suits this position.

Azhar is not one down batsman. This slot should be filled by Shafiq/Babar who have more range of shots. You need an imposing allround batsmen at 3, Pakistan generally keep then at 4/5.

Sami, Azhar, Babar, Shafiq, Harris/Saud can make solid batting order.

First of all you could hardly hear his voice as sky were showing the pictures then he tried to say 'oh we have all done it once or twice in our careers'

some one show the video of the test match where the kept having a go at Wahab and Rahat for coming in the danger zone saying its cheating

such a nobody these days, i don't know why Sky put up with his bias borderline racist views.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bring on Moeen already... Just for 2 overs

 

[uberkoen]

Aslam looking assured out there. Batting very responsibly out there.

Just needs to continue this.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

England have so far saved atelast 8 runs. Very good fielding.

 

[Pete Rose]

Every time they call over, I expect Holding to show up with anther 'one more thing about Finn...'

 

[Shafi]

Good job Inzi!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Woakes hasnt looked that great so far

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to start rotating strike here, while there is no need for flashy shots. Batsmen need to be a bit positive and not let england bowlers settle in.

 

[Fahdi]

We have slowly allowed Finn to find his length. Too many short and wide deliveries left unpunished

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Want to see runs. Pak should open up and put eng bowlers under pressure

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot of the day so far

 

[#GreenRoars]

Great shot

 

[Fahdi]

Shot!

 

[Pete Rose]

Good boy

 

[uberkoen]

What a drive.

Beautiful shot

 

[Anchorman]

Sami is looking more and more assured at the crease, and that's a quality that Masood was devoid of.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Woakes has been too full today

 

[sully3]

Azhar played that cover drive like he was playing at Dubai


told you there wernt any demons on this pitch

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Woakes not looking good this match

 

[Pete Rose]

Want to see runs. Pak should open up and put eng bowlers under pressure

But this is the test match thread. Are you in the wrong place?

 

[uberkoen]

Woakes not looking good this match

Hope he's even worse in the next innings.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Only anderson looking good. Pak need to smash the rest

 

[Rana]

Ideally Pakistan need to be batting till lunch day 4

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

But this is the test match thread. Are you in the wrong place?

No, im sure im on a cricketing forum called pakpassion and posting in the test match thread. I Ment they should look to score like cook and co were.

 

[Rana]

I take that back, till tea day 3

 

[Rana]

Sami Aslam and Sohail Khan....2 honest hardworking players MashaAllah

 

[#GreenRoars]

1 run shot of 50 partnership.

 

[Pete Rose]

if Sami is twenty then so am I

 

[#GreenRoars]

Solid shot Aizi

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot..
