[Faisalabadimunda]

Need wkts

 

[hur rizvi]

He wouldve been lucky to catch it. Hit his arm

Was an easy catch. He was lucky on the ballance one and still didnt get his hands in right position

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moeen looking to go after yasir here, streaky runs of the edge, 143/5

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Moeen has mentally conquered Yasir

Wrist slitting 24/7.

You are worse than me.

I think because of your jinxes Pakistan won Lord's. I am pretty sure.

 

[Deewana]

Match running away from Pak now..axhar ali u fool

Drink time, i hope this will break the batsmen rhythm and will finish them off today.

 

[hur rizvi]

England's hour. With all drama and movement only 1 wicket taken

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

i am getting frustrated now ....

 

[Kianig89]

Bowlers tiring should have gone with a 4th pacer

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Cricinfo:technically a drop but not a lot short leg could do about that! Poor Azhar Ali, the ball is following him. Strikes his chest off a firm clip but doesn't stick

Everything is not a drop guys.

Just cos its technically one doesn't mean its a real drop.

A short leg should always be prepared for such catches. they won't be offered dolly's like in slips.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Another drop by Azhar

 

[Kianig89]

200+ and were doomed

 

[hur rizvi]

Wrist slitting 24/7.

You are worse than me.

No I really think he has following carnage at Edgbaston and Yasir has been very poor. We are literally playing with 2 bowlers today.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Azharrrr

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That wasnt a drop. Those are just supposed to stick. It was out of the middle.nthe slip catch was an easy drop but not this.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rubbishh

 

[Square Drive]

Azhar better score big.

 

[in_cutter]

If Eng score anything over 250, then fielding will be to blame.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Day 1 ...opposition 143/5 and only Pak fans can criticize so much.

Anyone would have taken this at the start of play.

However erratic bowling and drop catches deserve to be called out.

 

[Kianig89]

4 bowlers only

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

No I really think he has following carnage at Edgbaston and Yasir has been very poor. We are literally playing with 2 bowlers today.

He may come into zone in this game (Oval).

Dunno what happened to him but he simply refuses to flight the ball.

 

[Kianig89]

Sohail like a Datsun car of 70s

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

i thought they should have got them by 150 ....... looks improbable now.

 

[hur rizvi]

Really hate the sight of Sohail's bowling

Should rather try Iftikhar instead of Yasir and Another spell from Wahab would do

 

[shariqnoor]

I'll take 250 all out right now. No pressure on the batsmen from anywhere and they're scoring at 4+ RPO. If we can get them out for 250, it will be a massive effort.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Theres still swing available just pitch it in the right area

 

[Kianig89]

Need wkts to keep bowlers motivated

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

pray hard... really hard.

 

[hur rizvi]

PAthetic bowling

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bouncers needed to get them out.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

they criticize so much because, pak is always expected to score as high as 250 only..that is the reason... u know pak batting will always let them down how much u restrict the opposition...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan are not exploiting the weaknesses well.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

A vow of silence for all Wahab haters.

They're 144/5

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pak have given away to many freebies

 

[hur rizvi]

PAthetic Sher

 

[Kianig89]

Should have played imran khan for ifti

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Pakistan are not exploiting the weaknesses well.

Just bowl defensive lines, send everyone to the boundary and they will make mistakes - Misbah

 

[hur rizvi]

They're 144/5

Thats pretty decent on this pitch and rate of scoring is dangerous

 

[Kianig89]

The grunt

 

[hur rizvi]

Soahail is such a useless bowler post first spell

 

[hadi123]

anything over 250 and we're doomed we need to break this partnership very quickly

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If Yasir bowls another over of filth then bring on Iftikhar

 

[dhump]

Horrible fielding through the day very very bad from Pakistanis.

 

[JibranAnsari]

yasir shah been totally decoded by england .. we rathar bowl azhar. He bowls too quicks , very few revs and on top of that apart from natural variation he doesnt have any other variation.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yaar Yasir bowl a bit slower

 

[fasihulhaq94]

weve lost the momentum now! that stupid drop killed the feel

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

it is definitely yasir's turn now ....

 

[JibranAnsari]

Both yasir and moin are getting 33 34 rps , you expect more from a leggie.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wasting overs by bowling Yasir. Apart from first innings Edgbaston he has looked rubbish since Lords

 

[hur rizvi]

Yasir and Sohail's spells are point less

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

bairstow 42 ..... face palm

 

[JibranAnsari]

come on ..next 25 overs 75/5

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Losing momentum

 

[uberkoen]

A vow of silence for all Wahab haters.

Still too inconsistent. Only performs in the odd game.

Wahab Riaz is to bowling what Shahid Afridi is/was to batting.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its criminal allowing moin so many runs..our bowlers are really pathetic .

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Freaking Bairstow again.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bairstow is a class act

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab comes to party very rarely and even then he gets 3 4 wickets mostly

 

[dhump]

Sohail Khan and Yasir Shah bowling together is bit of a free ride for the batsman... specially when they are is no mood to slow down.

 

[dhump]

Freaking Bairstow again.

Give him 2 life already, Hafeez would have scored a 50 with that much luck.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan missed a chance to go at bairstwo when wahab was bowling at full throttle but they kept bowling the same angle , he will score 150 now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

wth is Younis doing??

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If Yasir bowls pies in this over then take him off

 

[dhump]

Younis carrying cosmetic kit with him on the field.

 

[hur rizvi]

He may come into zone in this game (Oval).

Dunno what happened to him but he simply refuses to flight the ball.

His bowling has gone down a lot. Wont bounce back before UAE tour. Writing is on the wall

 

[HitWicket]

Lol, does he have some kind of personal hygiene in his pocket .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasirs ineffectiveness is really hurting pakistan. Its time for iftikhar now.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

wth is Younis doing??

I bet .... smiling.

 

[shariqnoor]

bringing scissors onto the field. Is he mad? Trying to stir another controversy?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wrong field for moeen. Have to bowl it outside his off stumo. Why the packed leg side field

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That last ball was better. Not too full

 

[JibranAnsari]

I dont even want to see yasir bowl.

 

[James]

What a shot from the Beard. Lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

yasir is too flat.

 

[hur rizvi]

Take off Yasir. Pathetic stuff

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a shot. Yasir will now lose it and start bowling even worse. That overpitched filth is getting what it deserves

 

[dhump]

Bowling too too too full really absolutely crap.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Get Iftikhar in for Yasir

 

[hur rizvi]

I dont even want to see yasir bowl.

Add Sohail too. Literally painful to watch them bowl ATM
