England v Pakistan | First Test | Day 2 : Session 2 | Trent Bridge | 30/07/10

[AZ]

need to bat well, very tough conditions.

 

[imshally81]

need some long partnershipz here....

 

[*sallu*]

I hope the suns back out

Anderson and Broad are going to eat us alive in these conditions

 

[pak4life]

feel sorry for our young batsmen they have not had the weather or pitches to get some runs under their belts. Whats happened to the English Summer its been overcast for the past few weeks! In these conditions if we can get about 275-300 I be happy

 

[90MPH]

Pakistan will really struggle in these conditions. They can't be too defensive like England were in the morning and will have to play some shots otherwise they will simply get out to balls that are too good for them.

Why should you feel sorry? Eoin Morgan had the same conditions. Our batsmen's techniques will be shown up with the exception of those that deserve to be there.

we're not going to win (or probably draw) with that score.

This young side will struggle in these conditions on the home side's pitches. They're far too inexperienced.

No Conditions look a lot worse today than they did yesterday. England really benefited from the toss.

 

[Energy]

Back. This will be Pakistan's session Inshallah.

 

[Chuffed]

No Conditions look a lot worse today than they did yesterday. England really benefited from the toss.

Same conditions, our batsmen make it look more difficult.

 

[IAJ]

So no chances for Sun today?

 

[insaftak]

lets go farhat.

score big for us today and rescue this inexperienced side.

 

[ads101]

Same conditions, our batsmen make it look more difficult.

Same conditions for today, that's why England's batsmen struggled in the morning. It looks like it will get brighter throughout the day though.

Let's hope so. Anderson is bowling well.

Players like azhar, Amin ,Akmal its their first time batting in England and England if you ask many players is the hardest place to bat. Its ok for Raina to score a century on a flat deck but these guys will be tested in conditions they have never encountered before. We should not judge them just on this series.

 

[WNC]

We're screwed

 

[adzzy786]

hmmmmm

Also England are used to playing under overcast conditions, as it's always cloudy/rainy in England anyway, lol.

No shouldn't judge them from this series, but their techniques will be tested. Should provide a stern test of their character too.

 

[AZ]

jaffa from Broad

 

[ads101]

Anderson's having a good day today. 1 run from 5 overs.

 

[insaftak]

Azhar calm down

 

[Energy]

Pitching the ball up is the key as Broad demonstrates there. We need to be careful here.

 

[Chuffed]

I think its safe to say we have the same level of skill as Bangladeshi batsmen.

 

[Chuffed]

English bowlers are a lot quicker than us.

 

[hur rizvi]

Bowl is really swinging ......

 

[insaftak]

someone is going to get out here

they don't look comfortable at all

 

[ZAK]

16/1

 

[adzzy786]

I think its safe to say we have the same level of skill as Bangladeshi batsmen.

NO, You forgot we have

 

[jasimisbest2]

I think its safe to say we have the same level of skill as Bangladeshi batsmen.

I think its safe to say your IQ level is of a peanut!

 

[AZ]

interestiny, only 2 slips.

lol, Ramiz also mentions it.

 

[Chuffed]

NO, You forgot we have

Oh sorry. Yes, he's an exception. Hall of Famer!

 

[ads101]

someone is going to get out here

they don't look comfortable at all

I don't like it when Pakistani openers play defensively, it's always an ominous sign for some reason.

 

[PapaBear]

I need a filter to cut out Ramiz's voice from commentary.

 

[Chuffed]

I think its safe to say your IQ level is of a peanut!

Shut up Kid. I don't want to argue with you.

 

[ads101]

NO, You forgot we have

To be honest he's making unusually quite a lot of runs compared to what he used to. He's made a 15 recently I believe.

 

[ZAK]

Another Maiden by Anderson.

 

[Energy]

3 slips now and a gully for Broad. No runs since lunch.

 

[hur rizvi]

Broad has improved quite a lot

 

[Chuffed]

Bowlers keeping it tight. Not seen any mistakes from them yet. I think our fatsmen are looking to see this new ball out.

 

[insaftak]

Looking Ahead.

I would send Malik at #4 today instead of Umar amin.

We need to take pressure of the youngsters.

 

[adzzy786]

I think Pakistan play so much better when they play natural game, but as long as they not wreckless, and dont get out.. When the bowl stops swinging, i think they should play a bit more natural, but not wreckless.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

any chances of sun coming out? Ball is swinging but its not unplayable.

 

[ZAK]

Come on boys you've got to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

 

[ads101]

Broad has improved quite a lot

Both Broad and Anderson have good days and bad days. Unfortunately it seems both broad and Anderson are on a good day.

good idea ´....... i agree

 

[Energy]

4 maidens in a row. Shabaash boys koi baat nahi bas wicket nahi dena.

 

[Chuffed]

Nice to see a bit of temperament from these two. Ukmal would have tried to smash one by now.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

4 maidens.

 

[ZAK]

That's the 4th maiden in a row for England.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

16 runs from 12 overs !!!

 

[adzzy786]

They have to score runs

 

[ZAK]

1 to Farhat.

 

[Chuffed]

1 run to break the deadlock

 

[Energy]

any chances of sun coming out? Ball is swinging but its not unplayable.

I've sent a miscall to the sun. It should be out soon.

 

[CrIcKet_is_LiFe]

finally a run

 

[iRfaN_LA]

did we just score a RUN?

 

[PapaBear]

Last 5 scores of Rabish Kaneria, 8,1,14,2,15

 

[AZ]

haha nice flourish from :aali

 

[PapaBear]

Shut up Ramiz

 

[jasimisbest2]

this is a test match, and maiden overs are so common...

I prefer if Pakistan batsman stay in and get there eye settled in and play very slow for 10 or so overs, get the bowlers tired and wait for lose deliveries

 

[Chuffed]

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to see of the new ball here still and hopefully prosper when the clouds go and the sun comes out.

Good discapline shown by both players out in middle so far.

 

[Energy]

4 to Azhar. Pakistan 21/1

 

[insaftak]

I've sent a miscall to the sun. It should be out soon.

good old pakistani miscall.

 

[ZAK]

to :aali

 

[Chuffed]

Streaky four by Azhar

 

[Chuffed]

Next ball edged to gully.........struggling

 

[ZAK]

21/1

 

[iRfaN_LA]

streaky FOUR

 

[AZ]

shabash boys hang in there, they can't bowl all day.

 

[insaftak]

Azhar Ali with his soft hands gets a four.

 

[hur rizvi]

Both Broad and Anderson have good days and bad days. Unfortunately it seems both broad and Anderson are on a good day.

No I was referring to south africa series and Ashes and Broad has performed well Recently

 

[insaftak]

Rameez, its partnership not relationship.

 

[Chuffed]

pulled by FARHAT

 

[insaftak]

44444444 for farhat

 

[hur rizvi]

Good pull shot from farhat

 

[ZAK]

to Farhat

 

[Chuffed]

Show of aggression against the short ball, pummelled in front of square leg.
