England v Pakistan | Second Test | Day 1 : Session 2 | Edgbaston | 06/08/10

[MAJID-SHAH]

Things looking pretty glum thus far, is this a repeat of that 2002 sharjah test i wonder?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

morning session completely dominated by the poms.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

PAK: 37/6 after 26 at lunch.

 

[haizen]

Yousuf lecturing the team as to how this would not have happened had they prayed Jumma at a mosque today

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Play set to resume at approximately 45 mins time.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Absolutely horrendous morning session for pakistan !

 

[AZ]

thread re-opened

 

[Wiji]

200 for Aamer and 100 for Umar Amin will get us out of trouble. Come on lads!!

 

[Momo]

)

This is the benefit for having a man of God in the camp! These small fundamental things are decisive in the end.

 

[Energy]

We have become the laughing stock of world cricket. Difficult to see anything new this session.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

aamer to score a double-ton !

 

[Momo]

Umar Bradman Gul to come to the rescue today.

 

[Maula Jutt]

200 for Aamer and 100 for Umar Amin will get us out of trouble. Come on lads!!

Don't forget a very useful 150 from Gul that could just nudge us over the line onto possible victory.

 

[Chuffed]

Quick predictions? Mine is 68 all out

 

[Momo]

We have become the laughing stock of world cricket. Difficult to see anything new this session.

Wicket #7, #8, #9, #10 can hardly be called "nothing new".

 

[ZAK]

Here we go again...

 

[ZAK]

1 to Umar.

 

[Chuffed]

I'll be so pissed if the wicket eases up!

 

[Energy]

Amin gets the single. Good chance for this lad to get a decent score for himself here.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Aamir.

 

[Maula Jutt]

40 for 6

 

[ZAK]

1 to Amin.

40/6

 

[Energy]

Low-bounce there.

 

[Hari Sombar]

I think the pakistan batting being compared to Bangla batting thread has to be bumped

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Inconsistent bounce.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Amin.

 

[AZ]

Keeping low consistently...this is a day 1 track?

 

[ZAK]

42/6

 

[Maula Jutt]

Amin gone to double figures. 10.

 

[Energy]

Score moves on to 44.

 

[AZ]

I think the pakistan batting being compared to Bangla batting thread has to be bumped

you do that, ill go to the India SL Test thread '

 

[ZAK]

2 to Aamir.

 

[pakbl10]

extra run from the overthrow

 

[KA$H]

i wouldnt be worried abt teh bounce - its the frighteningly consistent batting that we're showing at the moment which is the real worry

 

[Energy]

Holding - If you want to bat this way, you've got to bowl first.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Aamir.

 

[ZAK]

45/6

 

[Momo]

I will be worried until we cross 50. Once over the 50 run mark, we should be fine.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think we need to try and get a couple of england wickets before Tea and somehow 6/7 before the close of play!

 

[Easa]

This is a horrendous pitch for day 1 of a Test match. What are England playing at? Low bounce, ball not carrying through on the 1st day? Are we playing at Faisalabad?

 

[Energy]

I will be worried until we cross 50. Once over the 50 run mark, we should be fine.

 

[pakbl10]

I think we need to try and get a couple of england wickets before Tea and somehow 6/7 before the close of play!

:aamir

 

[sanakazmi]

this is so hopeless i'm noticing things like cricinfo's change of aamer's spelling to amir.

 

[Energy]

45/6 Pakistan. Aamer and Amin looking decent.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Being forced to play outside our country has helped in one thing. It has uncovered the hidden and not so hidden faults in our batting. We wont be playing at home for quite some time and will be forced to play on challenging pitches. Hopefully, that will be good for our game long-term.

 

[pak4life]

once again amir looks more comfortable then any of our batsmen

 

[Energy]

Dropped!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Dropped.

 

[pakbl10]

Dropped!

 

[Energy]

4 now. Luck riding with Pakistan.

 

[ads101]

jees amin playing very risky.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Umer Amin looks very happy today.

 

[ZAK]

Edged for by Amin.

 

[pakbl10]

Amin has no clue!

 

[shan]

Dont worry England, these clowns will give enough chances. As i speak our technically correct batsman is almost out again.

 

[ads101]

Umer Amin looks very happy today.

Really?

He should have been out twice by now. first dropped catch, and now ridiculous edge behind that just luckily went over for 4.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This pitch is dodgy. 150 and we have a chance.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Umar amin is extremely lucky to be out there. Can't believe a top order batsman is playing like this.

 

[Energy]

How much will that drop cost England?

 

[ads101]

Dont worry England, these clowns will give enough chances. As i speak our technically correct batsman is almost out again.

Why do people keep saying that. He doesn't look it. He doesn't usually gift his wicket either. He just seems to get out all the time.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Infact, Amir is looking more solid out there.

 

[pakbl10]

How much will that drop cost England?

Not a lot, I'm guessing. Hopefully I'm wrong and Amin makes the most of it!

 

[Energy]

Out. Aamer - but review taken.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Review.

 

[shan]

How much will that drop cost England?

couple of runs?

 

[AZ]

that's plumb.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Looks out.

 

[pakbl10]

Not out!
Inside edge

 

[AZ]

that's plumb.

oh wait, inside edge maybe!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Not out.

 

[Energy]

Not-out. Inside edge saves Aamer.

 

[shan]

bach gheya, this retard is terrible umpire.

 

[ads101]

not a great shot by aamer regardless of in or out. Very poor technique.

 

[Energy]

Luck with Pakistan all the way after lunch.

 

[Maula Jutt]

whacked for four.

 

[Energy]

50 up with that four.

 

[ads101]

that's better Aamer

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Finally a proper shot!

 

[ZAK]

to :aamir

 

[pakbl10]

53/6
