England v Pakistan | Third Test | Day 1 : Session 1 | The Oval | 18/08/10

[Rizie]

What advice is Akmal giving to Asif

 

[AZ]

uff...almost edged that.

 

[Seen Sheen]

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.

I doubt he'll get LBWs against right handers...

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

wahab looks like dougi bollinger style bowler

 

[hur rizvi]

Good pace from Wahab



Constantly bowling in mid 140s

 

[the Great Khan]

they got to keep their discipline here...keep it tight and keep the pressure on before ajmal comes on..

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like Trott is trying to anoy Asif here!

39/2

 

[DW44]

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

Wahab is not from Karachi which automatically makes him a Sifarshi as well as a talentless hack and his inclusion in the squad is the result of a masterful collaboration between Mossad, RAW, CIA, ISI, the president of Burkina Faso and Harry Redknapp with the Punjab mafia masterminding the whole plot.

 

[ZAK]

39/2

 

[KingKhanWC]

Apart from Aamer off form, a very good first hour, well done lads.

 

[asifp]

What advice is Akmal giving to Asif

Dont seam too much I am too fat to move

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wahab needs to get his line right and make KP play alot more. To many easy leave balls here!

 

[AZ]

What advice is Akmal giving to Asif

ainu khudi out karo, mey gend chhadeyanga

 

[ace4rmspace]

Riaz doesn't look all that bad. Hitting the deck, getting some spring. Not much in the way of movement but still decent going. Hmmm ...

 

[Seen Sheen]

wahab looks like dougi bollinger style bowler

Nah,He's more like Mitch Johnson....

 

[NJamal]

Drinks Eng 39/2. Wahab is bowling fine with good pace. Asif is as usual very tight. Aamer was a bit wayward early on, should come back strongly in the second spell

 

[DW44]

yeah we need the likes of Shakoor Rana,Javed Akhtar n Bucknor back

Shakoor Rana and Javed Akhtar were par for the course by the standards of their times which was well before neutral umpires were introduced and there was a clear home bias amongst all umpires. Bucknor stood in 6 world cup finals so just because he rubbed a bunch of 4 footyas the wrong way doesn't take anything away from his legacy.

 

[the Great Khan]

lets hope they can get the two south africans out..then its cuptaan nudge and the leprakaun..!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wahab is not from Karachi which automatically makes him a Sifarshi as well as a talentless hack and his inclusion in the squad is the result of a masterful collaboration between Mossad, RAW, CIA, ISI, the president of Burkina Faso and Harry Redknapp with the Punjab mafia masterminding the whole plot.

Yup...I mentioned in other thread that though Wahab didnt have the best of the domestic season BUT he was the standout bolwer in A tour of Australia and against England Lions in Dubai....

 

[AZ]

Aamer change of end.

 

[ZAK]

Aamir is back!!

 

[NJamal]

Aamer in for second spell

 

[NJamal]

Keep it tight Aamer

 

[aqeelPK]

So far so good, but still need a wkt or two more in this session.Good luck boys.

 

[KingKhanWC]

It's great to see Yousuf at mid on, chirpping away. Aamer to KP, good contest.

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

aftari time

 

[NJamal]

KP still on ANDAA

 

[ace4rmspace]

Nice tactic to KP. Keeping it short while he is nought, enticing the hook.

 

[DW44]

Yup...I mentioned in other thread that though Wahab didnt have the best of the domestic season BUT he was the standout bolwer in A tour of Australia and against England Lions in Dubai....

He's not from Karachi and therefore crap. The Australian batsman on the A tour were paid off by the Punjab mafia to make WR look good. Anyone who disagrees is delusional.

 

[ZAK]

40/2

 

[SG]

Javed Akhtar was even accused of match fixing IIRC.

 

[NJamal]

KP batting in Azhar Ali style

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Asif should be brought on for KP

 

[bluffmasterv2]

What a catchhhhhh by yasirr

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hameed takes a beauty. Big wicket gone. Why aint he walking?

 

[ace4rmspace]

That did not just happen ...... impossible ....

 

[haizen]

 

[NJamal]

GONE Trott

 

[Seen Sheen]

RIAz,you beauty...............

!!!Ye cheez...

 

[SG]

Riaz gets Trott.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Digital]

Wahab bowls faster dan overrated ishanth burma

 

[NJamal]

I think its a No ball

 

[imshally81]

sifarshi riaz... getz another one.... wow

[Dr. Khan]

beautiful catch by Yasir Hameed.
the best part is the look on trott's face

 

[Saurav]

that was a no ball

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yes!!!!

Keep off that line, nearly had a heart attack.

 

[Theo_14]

superb catch and what a delivery!!

40-3

 

[NJamal]

No thanks Trott is Out

 

[SG]

Bucknor stood in 6 world cup finals so just because he rubbed a bunch of 4 footyas

So I stand vindicated.

 

[hur rizvi]

 

[Dr. Khan]

english players roondi mar rahein hai.

 

[ZAK]

 

[Digital]

Gotch way to go wahab..

 

[bluffmasterv2]

ooo Almost a no ball, but how did they find out ? lol

 

[KingKhanWC]

If England haven't lost a review for that then it's a disgrace!

No they haven't, the ump called for it, don't know why, he should have called it.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

that was a no ball

Fail

 

[akamaka]

wattaaa a catch. Yasir Hameed.

 

[Seen Sheen]

that was a no ball

Thank God,You are not an umpire.....!!!

 

[Rizie]

My heart was in my mouth 40/3 very nice

 

[insaftak]

I apologize for questioning Riaz selection in the team.

what a catch by Yasir

 

[hur rizvi]

that was a no ball

No it wasnt foot landed before the line and slid..................

 

[KA$H]

are the slips standing too deep anyone??

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Superb bowling from Wahab and a very nice catch by Hameed - the look on trotts face was priceless

Take that Wahab haters - the "sifarshi" is doing it

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

How come the umpires were checking if it was a no-ball if it wasn't called a no-ball to begin with and there was no referral?

 

[imshally81]

review ???

 

[Rizie]

Moyo's presence in the field has lift the fielding

 

[iHammad]

2nd Wicket for Wahab!!

 

[ali_ed2006]

it pays to take your chances!!

 

[Dr. Khan]

The replays have me laughing.
As soon as Hameed took the catch, he took off. The Umar Akmal was chasing him dragging him by his sweater. Definitely one for the captions this thread.

 

[the Great Khan]

wahab yu the man...can someone tell me how he's bowling? bounce swing etc??

 

[pak4life]

good celebration too was not too keen on Wahab but the guy does have something about him hope it continues.

 

[iHammad]

Very good catch by Yasir Hameed !

 

[NJamal]

Finally KP off the mark

 

[Seen Sheen]

How come the umpires were checking if it was a no-ball if it wasn't called a no-ball to begin with and there was no referral?

...And herein lies the confusion...

 

[thurkeebaba]

aftari time

iftari !!! kidhar ho bhai

 

[ZAK]

42/3

 

[SG]

Why did Tony Hill heed what KP had to say about the legality of the ball?

Surely, a wrong precedent is being set.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Take that Wahab haters - the "sifarshi" is doing it

Yes but are you going to keep writing that all day? )

Pressure on England.

 

[NJamal]

We need two more wickets before lunch
