England v Pakistan | Second Test | Day 2 : Session 2 | Edgbaston | 07/08/10

[Batman]

England | 8/249 | 79 Overs | Lead by 177 runs

Good over for Aamer.

 

[Strike!]

What the.. )

 

[haizen]

I love Ajmal's mean stare...someone with a bowler's attitude at last...Asif has it too but he seems too innocent xD

 

[Boi]

Ajmal...)

 

[cricketcrazy]

How many catches we have dropped today?

 

[KingKhanWC]

I think Nottingham was a fair representation of the two sides' batting lineups, gap of a few hundred runs. you aren't going to see many test match wickets like this one in Birmingham. total graveyard for batsmen, hardest I've seen for a test in England in years.

If the weather had been hot and sunny, it wouldn't be a terrible pitch to bat on. You have to remember both sides have excellent bowling attacks.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ajmals done well here.

I still wouldnt be shocked if we lose this game by an Inns with our crap batting!

 

[cricketpassion]

somehow Anderson survives

 

[James]

this is probably the hardest test wicket to bat on seen in an English summer since 2006, unless I've forgotten a glaring one. in that match against Sri Lanka, and on this very ground, KP was the only batsman to succeed out of anyone in both innings with a brilliant 140. looks like he has made the difference again with a rubbish 80.

 

[offcutter]

Ajmal bowling beautifully, his doosra is spinning more than his offie!

 

[Strike!]

Amazing bowling.

 

[Batman]

England | 8/250 | 80 Overs | Lead by 178 runs

1 off the over.

 

[yadunoe]

ajmal is looking like the best offspiner in the world. I think hes up there

 

[haizen]

come ON Aamer york these guys out

 

[KingKhanWC]

How many catches we have dropped today?

My maths isn't strong enough to count such big numbers but Nasser just mentioned it should have been 248/15.

 

[James]

If the weather had been hot and sunny, it wouldn't be a terrible pitch to bat on. You have to remember both sides have excellent bowling attacks.

both sides have quality bowlers, but trust me, even English test-match wickets are often batsman-friendly these days. this is a rough one.

 

[yadunoe]

if we get them out quicly and make 300 we have a chance

 

[iafzal]

last doosra turned miles.

Swann must be taking notice

 

[Maula Jutt]

Ammer p!ssed off!

 

[Strike!]

Awesome grin from anderson. )

 

[haizen]

Yes let's give Anderson a taste of his own medicine

 

[Bilsher007]

Ajmal is the MAN

He is indeed, look how he toyed with anderson in the last over ! Excellent bowling, what a tragedy he was not playing earlier instead of the useless kaneria.

 

[haizen]

Now this is the attacking field, and confident attitude we should play with every single day

 

[Batman]

England | 8/251 | 81 Overs | Lead by 179 runs

 

[WNC]

if we get them out quicly and make 300 we have a chance

and I saw a pig flying outside....

 

[KingKhanWC]

both sides have quality bowlers, but trust me, even English test-match wickets are often batsman-friendly these days. this is a rough one.

Your right Edgbaston is usually a flat deck and has been for years but this isn't exactly a minfield. A good batting team facing average bowlers could still score 400+ with the sun out.

Aamer nearly sets Anderson up, Ajmal to finish this now.

 

[cricketpassion]

Gul will mis rest of the test series

 

[haizen]

I thought the game seemed quiet due to low crowd attendance...then I realised Kamran Akmal wasn't there lol..no joke here

 

[pak4life]

dropppped!!

 

[haizen]

Lol butt sahab drops a sitter

 

[WNC]

now Salman drops one!

 

[cricketpassion]

and Now Butt dropps

 

[Atif]

Butt drops the catch, Poor stuff

 

[Boi]

Umar Gul out of the Test series.

 

[NJamal]

Butt you moron dropped a dolly

 

[KingKhanWC]

Oooh that was close, he nearly caught it. )

 

[yadunoe]

comman man
*** is this

 

[Strike!]

I have no words. )

 

[yadunoe]

commmmmon man ***

 

[NorthStar]

Butt drops the easiest of Dollies. Pathetic!!!!!!!!

 

[Big Mac]

Dropped AGAIN. This has gone from infuriating to depressing to hilarious and now gone all the way back to depressing again.

 

[Boi]

Butt )

 

[Mo.]

oh wow another drop. who would've guessed?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

No words left....

 

[cricketcrazy]

So far score is England 2 Pakistan 9

 

[Rizie]

dropping becoming very normal atm

 

[*sallu*]

Leading from the front

 

[haizen]

Get fit til the ODI and T20's please GULLAH

 

[Bouncer]

whats the drop catch count for this game?

 

[James]

so a 200 lead say. Pakistan need to score 320+ to have a realistic chance of winning

 

[Boi]

If you're captain can't catch, what do you expect from the rest?

I say. Bring back Afridi.

 

[yadunoe]

dude does our team put butter on there hands before the game?

 

[Boi]

If you're captain can't catch, what do you expect from the rest?

I say. Bring back Afridi.

 

[adidazz]

Ajmal on a fourth or fifth day on this wicket would be unplayable, unfotunately it wont get that far.

 

[Batman]

England | 8/251 | 82 Overs | Lead by 179 runs

Another catch put down. Salman Butt has dropped an absolute sitter at mid-on.

 

[Bilsher007]

How the BLOODY HELL SKIPPER salman butt drop simple catch ?! This bloody ridiculous and shameless catching

 

[haizen]

Gone

 

[Atif]

Anderson is out

 

[cricketpassion]

Anderson

 

[MB]

Even Waqar bhai can only smile. Disgraceful drop.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Gone, surely. Jimmy walks off, didn't want another bouncer to hit him. )

 

[Boi]

Gone!

 

[iafzal]

Butt showing his fielding class.

 

[jawad1]

Out

 

[ZAK]

 

[SuperSixer90]

I actually don't mind that drop by Butt, because the more these guys bat, the less we do. And what is the point of batting for 30 min. when the wicket is doing something for everybody. We might end up being 10/3. So keep dropping fellas and start fresh tomorro.

 

[yadunoe]

how can you field so bad i just don't get it

 

[jawad1]

9 drops

 

[Atif]

How much extra runs did Pakistan conceed after all those dropped catches ?

 

[Batman]

England | 9/251 | 82.1 Overs | Lead by 179 runs

Finally a wicket for Aamer.

 

[cricketcrazy]

When these bowlers will learn? They have to either bowled or do LBW. Our bowlers sucks depends too much on others ( FIELDERS)

 

[pak4life]

should have been 149-9 if only we could catch

 

[yadunoe]

i swere my grandma could of catched that

 

[pakbl10]

Butt really knows how to lead from the front!
Aamer finally gets another wicket!

 

[haizen]

I still fear an innings defeat

 

[cricketpassion]

Butt cant even shout at fielders for dropp catch , he is worse than anyone

 

[imshally81]

goneeeee

 

[Mr S Khan]

Any idea how many catches we drop in total and how many by Captaan????????

 

[WNC]

Salman, Umar Akmal and Asif and Aamer

I have to correct myself.

Now only Azhar Ali, Umar Akmal, Asif and Aamer haven't dropped any

 

[cricketcrazy]

If you're captain can't catch, what do you expect from the rest?

I say. Bring back Afridi.

Oh the one who ran away from the tough contest because he is too weak mentally?
