England v Pakistan | Fourth Test | Day 1 : Session 2 | Lords | 26/08/10

[yadunoe]

what the use of 7 million pounds light when it cant even prolong play

 

[KingKhanWC]

Tony Hill has sunglasses on!

 

[cricket_fever]

this bad light shi* is annoying!

 

[sagar]

Is it raining?

 

[Markhor]

Bad for the bowlers who are trying to get a bit of rhythm.This stopping and starting is really disruptive.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bad light maybe a good thing if its only a short time period of the field.

Gives time for bowlers to re-group.

Pakistan need to get Trott early as hes looking good already.

Hopefully we can get 2/3 wickets asap when we get back on!

 

[cricket_fever]

Hope Waqar dishes out the full chappal treatment on Umar Akmal for dropping that dolly !

with mohd irfans shoe

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Salaam Mere Bhai-yo/Bheno !

 

[Blitz]

very overrated bro. Even praveen kumar swings it both ways more than asif at similar speeds.

You should be ashamed of calling yourself a cricket fan.

Even more ashamed that you were posting every second and then Asif got that awesome wicket and you disapeared. Heres me hoping forever.

 

[Markhor]

Is it raining?

Slight drizzle but its mainly the light.

 

[Amjid Javed]

with mohd irfans shoe

) Now that would hurt!

 

[sanakazmi]

Haha on Sky it goes from "England negotiating conditions well" to "Tricky time to bat" after just one ball.

hahaha

 

[Amjid Javed]

If i remember rightly the 2006 test here at lords we shelled atleast 7/8 catches in the game!

We dont need the same here!

 

[yadunoe]

Salaam Mere Bhai-yo/Bheno !

salam bradman saab

 

[shan]

Good for bowlers, they will get some rest and also batsmans will have to start over.

 

[Alien9511]

Angrezz are softt !!

Not good for Riaz though.He needs to adjust to the Lords conditions as he's been inconsistent with his line.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Don't know if this is good or bad. If for a few minutes, then I guess it might be good as our team would get a chance to go back to the coach and try figuring out how to avoid being such a pathetic fielding outfit.

 

[sanakazmi]

Is it me or have they shown very few replays of the Strauss dismissal?

they showed 3. as opposed to 20 of the uakmal drop.

 

[Markhor]

with mohd irfans shoe

) The phrase ''A mile in my shoe'' comes to mind !

 

[A.M.]

InshALlah we will not the wicket would hav lifted the team

re-group? why? they're bowling absolutely fine.

it's an attacking field, there are bound to be 4s.

people need to relax.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Stupid British Weather !!

 

[NJamal]

Salaam Mere Bhai-yo/Bheno !

Salam Majid Bhai

 

[A.M.]

exactly

 

[Bobbins]

Full House, and they go off in decent light, and they still wonder why cricket attendances are down.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Is it me or have they shown very few replays of the Strauss dismissal?

Yes. But they have shown Umar Akmal's dropped catch quite a few times, and even mentioned it on the ticker below, where the game status comes on usually. I won't be surprised if they are showing it repeatedly on the bigscreen at the stadium too. Playing with our team's psyche.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

I live Close to London - and it is chucking down with baarish

 

[yadunoe]

watching cricket in england is a sin paying 90 pounds and it rains

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

thunderstorm passing over london

 

[A.M.]

Yes. But they have shown Umar Akmal's dropped catch quite a few times, and even mentioned it on the ticker below, where the game status comes on usually. I won't be surprised if they are showing it repeatedly on the bigscreen at the stadium too. Playing with our team's psyche.

and Rameez was also mentioning after every ball come on its a part of the game esps. when Pak is playin

 

[NJamal]

I live Close to London - and it is chucking down with baarish

So it means very little play for today

 

[Bobbins]

I live in London, it's not raining here.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

So it means very little play for today

Possibly.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

So it means very little play for today

its just a heavy shower passing over london

 

[shan]

Yes. But they have shown Umar Akmal's dropped catch quite a few times, and even mentioned it on the ticker below, where the game status comes on usually. I won't be surprised if they are showing it repeatedly on the bigscreen at the stadium too. Playing with our team's psyche.

Seriously guys? Its good they keep playing them to remind them of not doing it again. issed:

 

[yadunoe]

i herd it hasnt been sunny at lords for 12 days. thats just horrendous

 

[dhump]

loo ji match dekhnay bethay to yaha light kharab.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

I live in London, it's not raining here.

I live in Berkshire - P!ssing down man !

 

[dblock]

Lights are on and it's fine.. though it resembles a day night game!!

 

[shan]

i herd it hasnt been sunny at lords for 12 days. thats just horrendous

It means horrid time ahead for our batter because England fielders can catch.

 

[yadunoe]

loo ji match dekhnay bethay to yaha light kharab.

))) mane bhi yai socha

 

[yadunoe]

It means horrid time ahead for our batter because England fielders can catch.

they tend to drop their fare share of catches 2 in the last match

 

[shan]

they tend to drop their fare share of catches 2 in the last match

Just 1 in last test match if i remember correctly. And that of Asif, now compare that to Cook. He now may go on to make 100s again.

 

[Kashif_nazir]

Raining 5 miles west

 

[dblock]

Wasted effort??

 

[SOSami]

i herd it hasnt been sunny at lords for 12 days. thats just horrendous

It hasn't been sunny anywhere in England for two weeks straight.

 

[AZ]

^ certainly seems like it

 

[yadunoe]

It hasn't been sunny anywhere in England for two weeks straight.

tauba tauba tum look kaise jeetai ho

 

[Poison]

What a pearler that was from Asif to get rid of Strauss. It came back to hit leg stump, don't know if anyone else noticed.

 

[AZ]

^ inside edge.

 

[shan]

It seem you didnt notice anything.

 

[Poison]

^ inside edge.

The commies kept saying that, I was sure there was no inside edge from the front on view.

 

[Chuffed]

Bright sunshine here near Skipton. Should have played in Yorkshire.

 

[Bobbins]

I didn't see no inside edge.

 

[shan]

The commies kept saying that, I was sure there was no inside edge from the front on view.

There was indeed bug inside edge.

 

[yadunoe]

holding's accent is so jokes

 

[KA$H]

too right

this is TEST cricket lads - you cant expect other test teams to fold like a pack of matches just cos its a bit cloudy

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Salam guys.


So are we expecting any more play today?

 

[yadunoe]

too right

this is TEST cricket lads - you cant expect other test teams to fold like a pack of matches just cos its a bit cloudy

unless the team is pakistan then you can

 

[SOSami]

tauba tauba tum look kaise jeetai ho

I once met a guy from Canada over here and he goes to me "In Canada it gets a lot colder than England, but you can deal with the cold by wearing a few layers. The only problem with England is the rain. It can come from anywhere, at any time, can last for weeks and makes things miserable".

Makes Ramadan easier though. No sun no thirst.

It's also why Football is king.

 

[Solid Snake]

Status anyone??

I want to see some cricket !

 

[Bobbins]

Raining at the ground at the moment.

 

[insaftak]

The commies kept saying that, I was sure there was no inside edge from the front on view.

I didn't see any inside edge either. That was a great delivery.

 

[Poison]

lol and seriously, I don't think Akmal wants to get back to the dressing room, I imagine multiple phainty's being handed out by Aamer and Waqar in turn.

 

[Markhor]

Full House, and they go off in decent light, and they still wonder why cricket attendances are down.

This.Great point.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Imagine what its gonna be like in Cardiff !!

 

[AZ]

Cricinfo comm. idiots have nothing to report...somebody please contact them and tell them that they are NOT funny.

ya this is true it is colder then england it snows alot here but we can handle it in england the weather is so depressing

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

^^Their called "CRAPinfo" for a reason bro....

 

[yadunoe]

today and tomorrow are going to be like this, on and off rain.3rd day is suppose to be ok weather wise

 

[Wiji]

Asif is absolutely incredible to watch. He reminds me of Wasim a lot more than Amir does. Ball after ball is a beauty. The batsman have absolutely no clue which way it's going. He's so fun to watch!

We're so fortunate to have the privilege of a bowler like him in the team, especially after the huge void left by Akram.

 

[Warfare]

Here in london it's been raining heavily for the past week and occasional showers the week before that.

 

[Alien9511]

Cricinfo comm. idiots have nothing to report...somebody please contact them and tell them that they are NOT funny.

they keep talking about the England teams setup and the stupid ASHES

i think they forgot about the match

 

[Bobbins]

Looks like it's pouring down at the ground now, umbrellas out in force.

 

[SOSami]

they showed 3. as opposed to 20 of the uakmal drop.

Yes. But they have shown Umar Akmal's dropped catch quite a few times, and even mentioned it on the ticker below, where the game status comes on usually. I won't be surprised if they are showing it repeatedly on the bigscreen at the stadium too. Playing with our team's psyche.

I love the way Sky continue to be surprised by Pakistan dropping catches. It's like a game within a game.

If they had as many replays of the 14 drops at Edgbaston, there wouldn't be much live stuff on show...

 

[Kashif_nazir]

Raining heavily now

 

[funkygene000]

asif is a great bowler but why isn't he successful in one days? or is it that our captain doesn't know how to make use of him?

 

[shan]

Hope we get another hour play but doesnt look good. Damn Katmal, Cook should have beem out by now. Anyway couple of wickets more and we are right back.

 

[Daytripped]

asif is a great bowler but why isn't he successful in one days? or is it that our captain doesn't know how to make use of him?

That baffles me too. He's such a quality bowler...
