England v Pakistan | Fourth Test | Day 2 : Session 1 | Lords | 27/08/10

[shan]

lol at Butt

 

[Gollum]

yaar ye ball se itna kyoon darte hain...inn ko kha jae gii kiya??? backing off in slip!!!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i love how they keep on crying about Asif's pace but the guys is #2 on ICC list and avg 23...HAHA what you pomie quicks avg with their super pace?

 

[Dr. Khan]

Not his fault on this occasion as it nowhere near carried but what exactly is Butt doing in the slips?

lol! Butt was scared of the ball.
Sure enough it did not carry but he could have easily stopped that - instead he jumped over the ball to let it go for four

 

[NJamal]

Both the GANJAS are forming a partnership. Need a wicket here and now

 

[SOSami]

A theme from his captaincy over the last 4 matches - Butt really hates 3rd slip doesn't he? Not sure why, especially given the way Aamer & Asif bowl

 

[UP]

Hopefully when Pakistan bats, sun is out.

 

[hur rizvi]

MAy be time for wahab for few overs

 

[jattafridi]

Current partnership 18 runs, 4.1 overs, RR: 4.32 (Trott 6, Prior 11)

 

[don1990]

change asif with wahab....

 

[Alien9511]

OMGG .. these commentators aree totally crapp .. they are soo biased .. get Rameez in

 

[Poison]

Test match, and they're 5 down for under 100 and you still want wickets lol meed

If You are not going to have a third slip then at least have a third man.

Butt is all over the place. changing field again.

 

[ZAK]

Salam everybody.

 

[Strike!]

Terrible captaincy.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Salam bhaiyon aur bheino!


Good day for Pakistan. On our way for levelling the series

 

[pak4life]

Amir getting tired but will wahab keep up the pressure?

 

[SOSami]

lol! Butt was scared of the ball.
Sure enough it did not carry but he could have easily stopped that - instead he jumped over the ball to let it go for four

Watching Butt try to take that catch, I think it shows despite all the shocking slip catchers that Pak have, the guys who stand there are the most specialist fielders available. At least they usually try to put there hands there.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

we need to get a wicket to start the tail...otherwise these 2 can settle in...such a great start lets not ruin it plz

 

[Energy]

67/5 England.

 

[jattafridi]

Test match, and they're 5 down for under 100 and you still want wickets lol meed

this partnership can change the game for England

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Test match, and they're 5 down for under 100 and you still want wickets lol meed

Ofcourse. We want them all out within one over.

 

[asifp]

Why is Kamran Akaml so far back for Asif. Means slips and gully stand further back.

Too many times in this series we have missed chances cause Akmal stands back, he is afraid to come closer cause his reaction tme is too slow

 

[KingKhanWC]

wht the hell butt is doing in slip cordon

Who knows?

Wahab should be on soon.

 

[Gollum]

mini counter attack by England...need to get them out asap...even 150 is a good 1 innings score under these conditions

 

[NJamal]

Test match, and they're 5 down for under 100 and you still want wickets lol meed

Why you are done with the wickets you dont need any more I think

 

[slix10]

Have to expose their tail

67/5

 

[AQ]

same thing happened when kakmal was batting at leeds. I think they just don't have that area covered - which is ridiculous.

+1

 

[hur rizvi]

KAmran needs to come up to the stumps

 

[jattafridi]

my prediction 100 runs partnership with these two ganjas

 

[insaftak]

my prediction 100 runs partnership with these two ganjas

oye kali zubaan waley.

 

[Energy]

Good delivery by Asif.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dr. Khan]

OMGG .. these commentators aree totally crapp .. they are soo biased .. get Rameez in

Rameez is worse of the lot - always quick to praise the english and goes on with the other commentators when they are pointing out our mistakes. To be honesty Botham is probably a lot better in this regards

 

[Seen Sheen]

Test match, and they're 5 down for under 100 and you still want wickets lol meed

I hope butt doesn't have the kind of attitude you have,Yousuf-esque..

 

[ZAK]

Good over by Asif.

 

[Vegitto1]

Asif is just unlucky!

 

[NJamal]

Eng 68/5

 

[sanakazmi]

+5. when are they going to realize this!

 

[WNC]

I have a feeling that Amin blunder is going to cost us....

 

[Dr. Khan]

bad bad bad on the field placings

 

[hur rizvi]

Pathetic field placing by salman butt

 

[imshally81]

need wicket here

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

field placings are really OFF

 

[Dr. Khan]

I have a feeling that Amin blunder is going to cost us....

True....
We would be at the bowlers right now.

Even then all we need is a wicket here and then we are into the tail

 

[insaftak]

again 2 slips.

BUTT sahab doesn't know what he is doing

 

[atif.raza]

Akmal is not mentally equipped to think in terms of reaction time and what standing up can do to the team. he is just plain dumb

 

[MIG]

Get Wahab in.

 

[afaans]

I hav feeling Pakistan will win!!!
Dr Khan i think WithLuvCanada wants u
GANGA playing well, YOUNGSTER!!

 

[xbox]

Its shame we don't have 3 good fielders who can field in slip . Seems like Umar now with an injury and avoiding to field in slip lol

 

[ZAK]

69/5

 

[hur rizvi]

Akmal fumbles ...

 

[Energy]

Drinks.

 

[Dr. Khan]

Kamran fumbling again - do not think there was an edge though

 

[KingKhanWC]

I have just emailed this to test match special at bbc.

"The England top order need to look at Trott and Prior. Not their technique or temprament but their heads, it's fairly obvious receding hair is the key to success."

hehe.

 

[NJamal]

Drinks England 69/5. First hour belongs to Aamer and Pakistan

 

[slix10]

When is Wahab coming yawn.

69/5

 

[ShehryarK]

Akmal ALWAYS stands too far back - he's scared of the ball and of dropping it.

It has been the case through this summer, against both Eng and Aus. Was the case Down Under too.

We have even had PP's men at the ground send a message to the dressing room and/or fielders in previous Tests, asking them to request Mr. K. Akmal to move his backside a few steps up. He chose to ignore the friendly advice.

 

[xbox]

lol ball popped out of kamran gloves..luckily no bat to it ...these 2 brothers are someting

 

[WNC]

And Akmal grassed a simple take, and it wasnt even an edge )

 

[hur rizvi]

These two are technically the best players in English team by far ..

 

[sanakazmi]

Guys, apparently Rameez Raja said Pakistan's management were considering resting Amir for this Test owing to concerns about workload!

 

[Friend786]

5fer on lords would be great

 

[Energy]

Akmal fumbles ...

Good it was not edged.

 

[Alien9511]

Rameez is worse of the lot - always quick to praise the english and goes on with the other commentators when they are pointing out our mistakes. To be honesty Botham is probably a lot better in this regards

I dont care who they bring in as long as its not someone as biased as these two. I would want someone like Nasir Hussain in

 

[ShehryarK]

Asif is just unlucky!

The batsmen are not good enough to edge his jaffas!

 

[afaans]

I think boys playing well
Is doing well
Can do better.
Hashman long time no post.??

unbelievable. you should do an interview with him and grill him about this directly.

 

[imshally81]

Riaz in

Just saw the wickets again - they are ALL taken so LOW!!!

The keeper and the slips need to move up two yards at least. issed:

 

[wazzy]

Inexplicable field placing. Why get rid of third slip, when there is so much play and miss? Why get rid of silly mid-on, when both players have been lunging forward? Pakistan seem to be hell bend on letting go off their excellent, awesome start this morning. Also, Akmal just dropped a bog-standard take - things are not looking so great now.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Hmm we need to break this 22 run partnership. Maybe Wahab or an Ajmal should do the trick...

 

[NJamal]

Butt should bring Ajmal into the attack

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

wahab is 1 ball off and 1 ball on

 

[SOSami]

Wahab and Aamer are good friends? They were having a lot of jokes at the Oval too and when Aamer got I think Collingwood he turned and pointed at him. Good to see - hunting in packs.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good over from Wahab, keeping the pressure on.

 

[ZAK]

Asif is back.

 

[imshally81]

no reveiw

 

[ShehryarK]

Great call from Butt NOT to review!
