England v Pakistan | 4th Test | The Oval | Aug 11-15, 2016 | Day 1

[hur rizvi]

Still Yasir? Is Misbah feeling OK?

 

[Syed1]

Shaba Misbah send all 9 outfielders to the boundary

 

[in_cutter]

To the Pakistani Bowlers,

Guys I work really really hard, and when I come home from the office I want to be entertained and smile for a change. For the love of everything that is holy please do not ruin this game for me - Allah Ka Wasta hay Tum logon ko !!!

Waqas Ahmed

Redirect that to Azhar Ali

 

[hur rizvi]

Looks like bowling them out cheap is a real possibilty now dioesn't it?

Not at all. Even now 300 is with in reach. 250 should be easy. Woakes is solid

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Wow. Yasir again. Such brilliance from Misbah the captain.

 

[hur rizvi]

Pointless stuff from Yasir

 

[srh]

too late

 

[The_Odd_One]

It's just you. He has always been one of their biggest Western cheerleaders, like Tony Greig was for Sri Lanka.

Really? As far as I remember, he supported Pakistani teams several times in the past.

 

[hur rizvi]

Whats the point of bowling Yasir aTM

 

[Syed1]

Ball is spinning away from bat but Misbah has close in fielder on the LEG SIDE. Kamaal captaincy..

 

[emranabbas]

How dropped catches has Amir had this series?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Get wahab on

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Is it just me or is Boycott very anti-Pakistan?

He's anti anything that challenges his ego really makes my bp go up listening to him sniggering on bbc radio

 

[Syed1]

Yasir Shah needs to be dropped

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar Alis pathetic effort of a catch off moeen continues to prove costly, more than 50 runs its cost now.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Can't you understand the basics when a bowler is not at all threatening, you have to take him away from the attack

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

time for wahab for yasir ..........

 

[Syed1]

If Moeen Ali is sweeping you for four, then you might as well retire

 

[hur rizvi]

Take Extra cover off Misbah and put at Gully or thirdman

 

[Amjid Javed]

what the hell are our fielders doing! no wonder Amir is so irate!

 

[Adil_94]

If England make 300 we will lose

 

[in_cutter]

Pathetic seniors. They should invent a new fielding position for the likes of Hafeez & Azhar- silly ----- (fill in the blank).

 

[Syed1]

87 mph not bad

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

damn ...... the boundaries.

 

[Syed1]

Thank you Misbah

 

[Square Drive]

Bring Wahab on.

Sohail & Yasir are bowling filth.

 

[Aviator]

We are making sure they reach atleast 300...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah has no idea where to keep his fielders. Clueless captain ever

 

[Syed1]

New batman, ball is consistently going in that area either aerially or on the ground, but Misbah has no fielders there.


Misbah is the worst captain in international cricket

 

[badsha001]

misbah needs to control the over rate so a spinner is a must from one end

 

[srh]

Misbah does not want to win this match

 

[JibranAnsari]

Thora ziada ho gaya bhai

He can bat in our top 3 and average more than any of them.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

england have scored too much already ..... and edges are still happening. we need to attack.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

This is ridiculous.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Almost a quarter of englands runs must have come through 3rd man today

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

misbah needs to control the over rate so a spinner is a must from one end

why did we play iftikhar ahmed again?

 

[Syed1]

Misbah's career should be over after this series. This is Moyo level of captaincy

 

[hur rizvi]

And yasir continues

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar was lucky to catch the one off ballance, hes a pathetic fielder and has dropped moeen twice this inns.

 

[Syed1]

As a nation we deserve better captains than Misbah, Afridi and Azhar.. I mean come on this is zulm

 

[Markhor]

Almost a quarter of englands runs must have come through 3rd man today

3rd man is a must in modern game.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Misbah's career should be over after this series. This is Moyo level of captaincy

no replacement in sight

 

[JibranAnsari]

Play 4 bowlers and you are stuck with your spinner doing the heavy load. Should have picked imran khan ahead of iftikhar.

 

[Syed1]

Easy singles for the new man

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

a brilliance is required .......

 

[Syed1]

no replacement in sight

Any Tom, Dick or Harry could do a better job than was Misbah is doing at the moment

 

[Syed1]

Play 4 bowlers and you are stuck with your spinner doing the heavy load. Should have picked imran khan ahead of iftikhar.

No Misbah wanted to give his buddy Iftikhar a game before he ends his paid vacation..

 

[JibranAnsari]

No Misbah wanted to give his buddy Iftikhar a game before he ends his paid vacation..

Mickey is there too and I am pretty sure that its not misbahs sole decision.

 

[Syed1]

Just two slips for a new batsman when the ball is jagging around.

Is Misbah even trying to win????

 

[Markhor]

Roy Hodgson would appreciate these defensive tactics.

Come on, there's a chance to wrap England up for 250. Get into the tail.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Play 4 bowlers and you are stuck with your spinner doing the heavy load. Should have picked imran khan ahead of iftikhar.

People here are jumping up and down about iftikhar but this is a first day pitch, what do u want him to do when Yasir couldn't do anything on it. Be pAtience he will deliver later on in the match.

 

[hur rizvi]

No swing ATM

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Still Yasir. on what basis,??? . Misbah you Legend

 

[Syed1]

Easy single for new batsman.

 

[hur rizvi]

Woakes is damn Good

 

[Syed1]

Legendary captaincy by Misbah

 

[Aviator]

Don't allow eng to cross 250...
Need one wicket in next two overs..

 

[gunner]

Not seen a team scoring so many boundaries on third man alone while captain stays clueless seriously poor cricketing brain.

 

[Syed1]

Woakes is damn Good

He is no Ricky Pointing. Our captaincy is nmaking him look better

 

[daytrader]

As a nation we deserve better captains than Misbah, Afridi and Azhar.. I mean come on this is zulm

We also deserve better PMs than Shariffs and Zardari. Let's face it leadership is not one of our qualities

 

[pak4life]

Just two slips for a new batsman when the ball is jagging around.

Is Misbah even trying to win????

what can Misbah do if the bowlers are going at 4 an hour. Only 3 maidens.

 

[hur rizvi]

This is ridiculous from Misbah. Got to have Amir and Wahab operating in tandem for a bit

 

[JibranAnsari]

People here are jumping up and down about iftikhar but this is a first day pitch, what do u want him to do when Yasir couldn't do anything on it. Be pAtience he will deliver later on in the match.

He is not a good bowler , have you even seen him bowl. He hardly ever bowls in FC matches and very little in ODI matches. Azhar ali is a better bowler.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

woakes against amir again .....

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is ridiculous from Misbah. Got to have Amir and Wahab operating in tandem for a bit

He has no choice. Seamers have bowled a lot and wahab looked a bit tired.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

He is no Ricky Pointing. Our captaincy is nmaking him look better

hes no rahat ali either

 

[Square Drive]

Misbah clearly worried about the over-rate.

 

[Syed1]

Yasir is just not good enough

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

woakes playing well ...

 

[lahoriyah1234]

He is not a good bowler , have you even seen him bowl. He hardly ever bowls in FC matches and very little in ODI matches. Azhar ali is a better bowler.

We had no other choice, had hafeez been effecient enough we had him bowling before england tour. But hafeez saab is drama queen, imad wasim would have been a better choice but Inzamam screw it up. Now we have to bear with him. What can misbah do if players not catching.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah should not worry about overrate , he should rest in the next series anyway.

 

[gattaca]

Look at the amount overs bowled by the fast bowlers. Looks like the spinners are useless not even controlling runs. This is the time for england to capitalize.

 

[Syed1]

Misbah should not worry about overrate , he should rest in the next series anyway.

More like, forcibly retired

 

[GreenKnightRises]

misbah needs to control the over rate so a spinner is a must from one end

Considering Over rate ahead of trying to win a match so that his match fee is not cut down.??

... Proves his Selfish character..!!!. Considering match fee over the Team winning the match .

 

[hur rizvi]

He has no choice. Seamers have bowled a lot and wahab looked a bit tired.

He has a choice WAhab might as well bowl now, rather than bowling when these two put on a 50+ stand

 

[JibranAnsari]

We had no other choice, had hafeez been effecient enough we had him bowling before england tour. But hafeez saab is drama queen, imad wasim would have been a better choice but Inzamam screw it up. Now we have to bear with him. What can misbah do if players not catching.

Forget this innings , next bowling innings will be our nemesis with sohail khan huffing and puffing and other three bowlers around him tiring out.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

heartbreaking .... really. we had a good chance.

 

[Syed1]

Get Wahab on, Misbah

Baqwas captaincy

 

[JibranAnsari]

More like, forcibly retired

ofcourse .. punishment for being the best pakistani batsman on this tour.

 

[hur rizvi]

PAinful to see Yasir bowl
