[Seen Sheen]

Aamir has to deliver in the 2nd spell...As soon as the shine goes off,it will become harder to remove the batters....

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Your watching the wrong match, you won't see many bowleds in this one.

Sounded like a little nick there.

Yep, exactly, this aint the type of wicket where bowlers are going to get batters out clean bowled.

 

[Dr. Khan]

my transmission went off to a commercial, what happened on that last ball - looked like an edge

 

[mastermind_quad]

nothing in Pitch ...will depend on quality of bowlers ...........spinner can be good....

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wahab looking good.

 

[haizen]

Review it!

 

[Maula Jutt]

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

This is better from wahab...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Much better from Wahab, review it if Akmal is sure.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I heard a woody sound!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Review time

 

[ZAK]

[hur rizvi]

Congrats to wahab ...


1st test wicket

 

[haizen]

Congratulations to Wahab Riaz for his first test wicket...5 more to come in this innings already

 

[khalidali7070]

and the crap info is dead again!!!! Good going.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Yes!!

 

[Theo_14]

Wahab takes a wicket,

interesting...

now then trott and kp are the ones who always make the partnership, need a wicket here.

 

[gangstathe13th]

Alhamdulillah

 

[Dr. Khan]

good man wahab - where are all the cries of sifarshi now!!!!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

His a gonner!

 

[imshally81]

 

[Pakprideuk]

didn't i say he'd be good at the oval with good bounce, he's got good pace too, well done lad.

 

[Seen Sheen]

What the hell was Strauss doing...He shoud have walked off...It was such a big nick...

With UDRS in place,you cant get away with these sort of things...

Poor stuff from him...`

 

[SAM'S]

wow Wahab produces a Jaffa

 

[Awesome_Username]

Man. How awesome are we? A bowler comes in off the bench and gets right on to bowling 90mph. Many other teams would die for that.

 

[iHammad]

Strauss gone!

Good bowling Wahab...even though I still he's a parchi

 

[alibaba90]

crowd is absolutely dead when there is pakistani cause to celebrate

are there no pak fans in crowd?

 

[Rizie]

Now Asif get Pietersen

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Yes, wahab - shahbash!

 

[pak4life]

strauss does it again how did he think he was going to get away with it

 

[Saurav]

Akmal takes another


cant believe what I'm seeing

 

[khalidali7070]

how big was the edge, and if it was so huge how come the umpire miss it.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Strauss made fighting 15 ...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wahab looks class so far.

 

[Dr. Khan]

score card looking better now!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

KP loves this ground, 3 tons here. Wahab needs to keep patient and stick to THAT line and length.

 

[alibaba90]

hotspot can miss faint edges

 

[DW44]

When did the ICC start hiring umpires with severely impaired and irreparable vision and hearing? I know they had mentally challenged umpires (Ashoka, Darrel Hair, Amish Saheba, the guy who gifted Kumble 4 wickets when he got that 10-for) but seriously, when was this new equal opportunity policy implemented?

 

[muchacho]

This is the second time he didn't walk off right? Poor sportsmanship..

 

[hamzamunir]

)))

who said "AWAZ TEH AYEH CHUNGGEE PULLI"

I WAS DYING FROM LAUGHTER )))

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Delighted for Wahab - had a lot of haters mouthing off so he needs to grab some wickets to hopefully shut them up

 

[NJamal]

KP is Asif's bunny

 

[Vegitto1]

pathetic umpiring

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Need Kp back in the hut ASAP!

 

[Seen Sheen]

I think thats where Wahab needs to bowl..He is hit the deck type of bowler...

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

congrat WAhib!!

 

[AZ]

a slap on the face of the Wahab haters.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

KP is Asif's bunny

He sure is, lets hope he can live up to that reputation...

 

[imshally81]

now asifz bunny is come

 

[ace4rmspace]

Wahab clocking up a bit mileage here. Nice

 

[MIG]

People calling Wahab Sifarishi etc should think again

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

strauss does it again how did he think he was going to get away with it

Well the umpire missed it and he must have been hoping pak won't review BUT thankfully we did

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

That was a maiden from WR.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Asif is troubling Trott with his angle....

 

[ace4rmspace]

What a ball Asif! Trott hasn't much of a clue against him most of the time!

 

[DW44]

I think thats where Wahab needs to bowl..He is hit the deck type of bowler...

He's suddenly started swinging the ball into the right hander. Not as much as Asif and Amir but its noticeable. Definitely wasn't doing it in his first over.

PS. Has the world gone mad? Akmal took two successive catches and had the presence of mind to call in a review when we actually needed one.

 

[Rizie]

wow Asif had a hair cut

 

[Amjid Javed]

If pakistan can get rid of TROTT as well then we really are on top!

 

[KingKhanWC]

When did the ICC start hiring umpires with severely impaired and irreparable vision and hearing? I know they had mentally challenged umpires (Ashoka, Darrel Hair, Amish Saheba, the guy who gifted Kumble 4 wickets when he got that 10-for) but seriously, when was this new equal opportunity policy implemented?

lol. We had one who couldn't spot a certain LBW and another who missed a huge edge. Bring back Dickie Bird!

Strauss should have walked, poor from him.

Asif all over Trotter.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Asif is an absolute treat to watch ...

 

[the Great Khan]

good on wahab, looks like we may have decent bowling bench strenght if he continues to bowl well..how is he bowling and what was the ball like to get rid of strauss?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asif looking to maybe clean bowl or get an LBW to an indipper as trott likes to whip balls from off-stick sometimes!

 

[hur rizvi]

According to cricinfo wahabs fastest ball is 93 mph

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

a slap on the face of the Wahab haters.

Indeed BUT I suspect these guys have no shame which is why they spout such bakwaas

 

[NJamal]

First hour belongs to Pakistan. Eng 35/2

 

[KA$H]

STrauss the cheater - doesnt walk - and gets shown up

good stuff

 

[ace4rmspace]

So so so close!! Brilliant!

 

[ace4rmspace]

OK, that was sloppy but a great over from Asif. 4 byes.
