England v Pakistan | Second Test | Day 3 : Session 2 | Edgbaston | 08/08/10

[yadunoe]

Much better than Kamis.

but still not up to international standards

 

[Atif]

England dropped 3 catches today

 

[cricket_fever]

lol ENGLAND dropping catches what is this?

doing a pakistan lol

 

[SOSami]

Its not just Pakistan who get sloppy. If batsmen stick around long enough it does frustrate the opposition, it causes teams to make mistakes. Even good fielding teams like England.

 

[iZeeshan]

This is great!

Somehow, some way, give yourself something to bowl at Aamer!

 

[cricket_fever]

England dropped 3 catches today

hahha still cant beat us!!

 

[Maula Jutt]

were you impressed with his keeping?

It's not about keeping anymore since both the choices we have have been dismal. However, Kamran was in the team on the basis of his batting. Now that Zulqarnain has proven to be a better scorer than two straight ducks, knocking him out would only earn the team further wrath from everyone. Which I believe is the last thing they need.

 

[Desire]

missed a 4.. thats the problem of being too defensive.

 

[iZeeshan]

comeon zoni man hit a four, hit a four.. tuk tuk game is not gonna lead anywhere. put them under pressure boyssssssssssss!!!!

Yes it will! Look at England, they're getting so frustrated. I don't really see how we could win anyway so just making them angry is fun

 

[black_98]

Interesting match.. if you are english -____-

 

[sanakazmi]

come on zoni.

 

[yadunoe]

England dropped 3 catches today

lol pigs must be flying int he air around edgbaston

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Restored a tiny bit of pride this partnership.

 

[Desire]

score ppl?

115 for 6

 

[razzaq_03]

but still not up to international standards

So you admitted that he's better than Kami? Now you know who's better.

 

[nish_mate]

No matter what the result of this test is, one thing for sure is that it would be very, very hard for the team mgmt to kick out Zulqarnain after this performance. So Salman is in trouble.

Unless, he brings in K. Akmal as a batsman only. OR, he retains Zulqarnain as a batsman only.

Even Zulkarnain Haider naam main bhi zyaada raub hai compared to kamran Akmal...

Zulkarnain, vazaan hai baache ke naam me....

Aab baas thodi awaaz main raub aur vazan ki zarurart hai!!!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Amir has super temperament for young player who is not even a batsmen. Pity about the so called batsmen

 

[yadunoe]

mushi that traitor

 

[Bilsher007]

England are desperate out there, every ball the fielders seem to be going up in expectation of a wicket !



Zulqi and aamer are really fighting it out MASHALLAH ! Gritty stuff from both as they have shown they can bat with a plan compared to the specialist batsmen who have come out without a plan to combat swann.



I hope younis like yousaf is drafted into the team for the next two tests.

 

[yadunoe]

So you admitted that he's better than Kami? Now you know who's better.

ya he is better then kami but who isnt lol

 

[cricketpassion]

2 more to Zul

 

[SOSami]

I think Mushy is sitting there secretly wanting Pak to win. You can't go against your natural inclination.

 

[yadunoe]

i dont get how haider only averages 35 in FC. he looks like a good batsmen

 

[Amjid Javed]

Zoni 28* Amir 13*

Nice partnership here between these two guys.

 

[pakmania]

mushi that traitor

Well you cant blame him,who in their right mind will want to work for Ijaz Butt ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single for zoni, moves to 29!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Zoni looking for some runs now.

interview, confident of a win for Pakistan. (recorded last night)

Brilliant interview. ha ha.

[Rizie]

Yes!

 

[Atif]

England are appealing for anything...

 

[cricketpassion]

Eng are appealing for anything .so desperate

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 139/6

 

[chui_kadoo]

keep going ZQ. Please get a 50

 

[Wiji]

That looked out. Luckily no reviews left.

 

[yadunoe]

lol haahhahaah that was going well down leg

 

[hashbb]

close

 

[chui_kadoo]

England appealing for anything and everything now

 

[iZeeshan]

Very impressed with both these two.

Trying their heart out in all their aspects.

It's a shame so many catches were dropped.

 

[iZeeshan]

Amir really wants something to bowl at

 

[insaftak]

new ball is due in 6 overs

 

[KingKhanWC]

keep going ZQ. Please get a 50

New ball will test him.

Farhat acting like he's been hit by a bus. )

 

[Desire]

imran farhat being hit by waqar

 

[iZeeshan]

Zulqarnain can be come our top scorer in the entire series with just 50 more runs!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefuuly later on Gul can smash a 50 on one leg

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 142/6 now...

 

[Theo_14]

No matter what the result of this test is, one thing for sure is that it would be very, very hard for the team mgmt to kick out Zulqarnain after this performance. So Salman is in trouble.

Unless, he brings in K. Akmal as a batsman only. OR, he retains Zulqarnain as a batsman only.

100% Agreed.

But I doubt Butt will bring back Kamran Akmal as a wicket-keeper. I say bring him back as a batsmen - keep Zaqi as a late-order batsmen and a wicketkeeper.

If Moyo is fit enough and ready enough to play, then bring him into the side, should add depth and experience. And take out one of the youngsters (Azhar or Umar Amin).

 

[chui_kadoo]

New ball will test him.

Farhat acting like he's been hit by a bus. )

I missed it. What happened to him.

 

[Atif]

Hopefuuly later on Gul can smash a 50 on one leg

Thats after Amir and Zoni put up a 150 runs lead

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tea about 3 overs away now...

 

[Desire]

then two should open in next match.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single for Amir now..

143/6 now...

 

[iZeeshan]

Farhat what a baby

 

[Rizwan25]

what happened to farhat?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Atherton impressed with ZQ

 

[KingKhanWC]

I missed it. What happened to him.

Got hit with a bouncer on the grill and a bit of temple. He got out soon after to Swann.

 

[Amjid Javed]

KP might bowl? England looking to buy a wicket here!

 

[iZeeshan]

They can bat all day, they don't care!

 

[Poison]

Excellent grit and steel shown by these two; well done.

 

[A.M.]

what happned between ZQ and Broad

 

[Sir john]

Pakistan trail by 36 runs

 

[yadunoe]

lol zulqarnain 101 balls for 29 brutal run rate

 

[chui_kadoo]

Got hit with a bouncer on the grill and a bit of temple. He got out soon after to Swann.

I guess that means hes out of the next test

 

[iZeeshan]

Who said that if Pakistan last the session they will erase the lead?

Far from it. Brilliant RR we have !

Who cares?

 

[Atif]

nice shot for from Zonia

 

[Theo_14]

big build up by 3rd man on how well Zaqi is doing on his debut, but nearly gave his wicket away!!

but..

4444444444444!!

 

[cricketpassion]

 

[chui_kadoo]

4 to ZQ. Top shot

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for Zoni....

32 behind now...

 

[iZeeshan]

Prediction time anyone?

Or do you all really believe in that jinxing stuff?

 

[Wiji]

Great shot. I like this guy Haider. He needs to be given a long run.

 

[insaftak]

what happened to farhat?

waqar younis slapped him.

 

[Sir john]

Min overs remaining 41.3

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nice stroke, hit through the offside for 4.

Does anybody know what the meaning of Zulqarnain is?

 

[chui_kadoo]

I wonder what Kamran akmal is doing

 

[Poison]

ZQ reminds me of Moin Khan; limited talent and strokes with the bat, but he's got steel running through his veins. Excellent job done by these two, like the commies have been saying; 'showing they can bat'.

 

[Atif]

Single taken from Zoni to end the over, 148/6

 

[Theo_14]

new ball is set to be available soon!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Zulqarnain showing the best talent in the last 15 years how to bat

 

[Amjid Javed]

KP onto bowl now...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Prediction time anyone?

Or do you all really believe in that jinxing stuff?

These two in till tea.

KP on, should get some purchase.

 

[Atif]

KP coming onto bowl, should attack him and wipe the lead
