England v Pakistan | Second Test | Day 3 : Session 1 | Edgbaston | 08/08/10

[Boi]

That's how Azhar should have hit the delivery he got out to. Good shot from Akmal.

 

[shan]

Hopefully Pakistanis this time use UDRS without even thinking in case of LBW.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Goooooooo shot - reslut: 4444444444444444 !!

 

[Sir john]

Pakistan RR 1.85
need to maintain for whole day

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik gets some runs now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 72/3

 

[Khabri420]

We are 72/3 now

Well done boys...we're moving the right direction

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

36 gone - 72/3

 

[insaftak]

I'd rather watch our batsman slog their way out of trouble and score a few runs before they get out eventually. We've all seen what happens when they try to defend.

Yes, this won't be classified as 'Test Cricket', but who says these batsmen are of the caliber to play test cricket

+1.

We won't last long against swan if we go tuk tuk here.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Umar 12* - Malik 2*

 

[Sir john]

Pakistan RR 1.99

 

[adidazz]

Thankfully are two best players of spin at the wicket, umar is very good v spin but needs to stray from playing a rash shot.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

@Sir john - run rate doesn`t matter in tests.

 

[Momo]

Umar to score 402* iA.

 

[Atif]

Ajmal did as well yesterday!

Ajmal did, but not as much as Swann though..

 

[Sir john]

umar need to play whole day.

 

[Momo]

@Sir john - run rate doesn`t matter in tests.

It does. Most people don't get it though. When you stop scoring, you cause your own downfall by letting the bowlers impose terms.

 

[insaftak]

Malik Clueless out there.

I'm surprised.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik backing away to Finn!

pathetic stuff! remember him batting like this in west indies! what a Darpoke!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Thats a madien!

 

[Sir john]

@Sir john - run rate doesn`t matter in tests.

i always intrested in run rate man,pak need to play whole day,

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single for Akmal!

 

[jattafridi]

Pak 73/3

 

[Khabri420]

Milestone 1 (to get past 72) - achieved!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 to Malik

Down the ground off Swann

 

[iZeeshan]

just need one partnership, that's it

 

[Momo]

The number 72 is very significant for Muslims.

 

[Seen Sheen]

That's where Umar has to learn,when a bowler like swann is bowling very well and turning the ball at speed,you have to give him respect..Don't go after his bowling like a maniac slogger(not that he is playing like one) rather wait for bad balls and then punish them anywhere you like..

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Single to malik - umar to face.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Moyo seems to have lost a bit of weight!

 

[Atif]

Sawnn tampering the ball, by wiping his hand on the turf..

 

[Sir john]

The number 72 is very significant for Muslims.

why,can you tell me?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

75/3 - 38 gone

 

[Khabri420]

Swann and Prior have a little something for each other. You can see Prior getting excited as soon as Swann lets the delivery out of his hand

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

104 runs behind - 7 wickets left in the tank!

 

[Boi]

Moyo seems to have lost a bit of weight!

Yeah...he looks in good shape...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Quick single by Akmal

Good running

 

[Momo]

That's where Umar has to learn,when a bowler like swann is bowling very well and turning the ball at speed,you have to give him respect..Don't go after his bowling like a maniac slogger(not that he is playing like one) rather wait for bad balls and then punish them anywhere you like..

Disagree. That's where other Pakistanis need to unlearn. How well Swann (or any other bowler) bowls is upto you the batsman too. Umar is playing perfectly.

 

[Amjid Javed]

More dodgy running!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yeah...he looks in good shape...

 

[Atif]

Malik is out....

 

[cricketpassion]

gone Malik

 

[Ace Base]

The number 72 is very significant for Muslims.

Lest your genius go unrecognised...

 

[shan]

On these conditions i would have loved Moyo.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

MALIK

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik gone!

 

[Sir john]

Pakistan RR 1.99 moving now.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Single 1st ball....

 

[iZeeshan]

Another craptart gets out

Whatever.

 

[insaftak]

umar akmal throwing shoaib Malik to wolf a.ka Finn

 

[Momo]

Shoaib goes playing careful and "proper" Test Cricket.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Great innings ! - wah malik wah!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathetic stuff! Backing away from fast bowler and gloves one behind!

No review either! hits arm guard!

 

[NJamal]

Shoaib U Crap. What a waste of space he is

 

[jattafridi]

malik gone

 

[insaftak]

umar akmal throwing shoaib Malik to wolf a.ka Finn

He is gone. Pathetic Malik. I saw it coming.

 

[luvthegame]

malik gone..pathetic batting...

 

[WNC]

) At Finn's girly throw..


Malik out...

 

[Desire]

i was about to write that 76-3 . Time to get out now.. and shoaib got out before i could write. what a performance.

 

[hur rizvi]

Malik gone Pak in deep troubles ........ We need to avoid the inns defeat

 

[iHammad]

why,can you tell me?

Our first innings score

 

[Boi]

Oh Malik. He was struggling out there and it was on the cards...

 

[Momo]

Lest your genius go unrecognised...

You are very kind, sir.

Great to see you, brother.

 

[pak-fan]

The number 72 is very significant for Muslims. [/QUOTE
why?

 

[MB]

Innings defeat anyone?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

QUIT cricket and join tennis instead - you &*#% !!

 

[Khabri420]

Yeah...he looks in good shape...

......

Moyo's secret to losing that fat. Gotta shake it!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Umar Amin runs in with some purpose to the crease

 

[luvthegame]

innings victory for eng coming...bring on MOYO and possibly YK...Drop these pathetic cowards...

 

[iHammad]

Let's see how much Umar Amin can score...

 

[Khabri420]

The most overhyped player ever out in the center. Has he forgot how to middle a ball with the bat?

 

[Sir john]

batsman now need to play aggresive cricket.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akmal

 

[cricketpassion]

U akmal

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

......

Moyo's secret to losing that fat. Gotta shake it!

) Legend !!

 

[luvthegame]

why didnt mailk ask for a review...

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for Akmal!

 

[Ace Base]

You are very kind, sir.

Great to see you, brother.

Akhi, its great to ''see'' you too.

Your wit has only sharpened still with the years.

But as the great Tupac said about Pakistan cricket, ''That's just the way it is, some things will never change''
