[ace4rmspace]

Right, so are we still looking at 250? People?

 

[yadunoe]

sohail khan was a really fast bowler i think faster then wahab

 

[the SHA]

Finally. Now I will be able to eat at Iftari inshaAllah!

 

[Chuffed]

 

[yadunoe]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[ZAK]

 

[Gollum]

Dropping like flies now........

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Cricinfo's headline: Broad departs to give Riaz five

Thanks England for "giving" us wickets.

 

[Boi]

Oh hes reviewed it. Thats out though.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

why are they wasting their reviews ?

 

[ace4rmspace]

Anderson out, nice. One more to go, come one lads!

 

[Chuffed]

And an Indian-style hush around the ground. Reminiscent of Akhtar vs Tendulkar years ago.

 

[Awesome_Username]

why are they wasting their reviews ?

Maybe becaue they're 8 down?

 

[yadunoe]

why are they wasting their reviews ?

8 wickets ldown lol might as well. revies cant be taken over into the next innings

 

[Animal]

Congratulations to Riaz. He's achieved what neither Waqar, Wasim, Imran or Shoaib Akhtar have achieved - a fiver on debut! Well done kid.

 

[ace4rmspace]

why are they wasting their reviews ?

No reason to keep them, they're 9 down now.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

so why is England wasting their reviews, do they get 2 more when Pak comes out to bat? i thought it was in each innings ...

 

[hashmist]

Did our quicks try to intimidate this harami Broad? Did we bounce and hit him? I haven't watched anything yet.

 

[SOSami]

There is usually one decent partnership in an innings when things flatten out. Just look at Ajmal and Haider in the last match. Good job it didn't extend to a huge one.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Right.. so now, what are our chances of surpassing this score which may still very well reach 250 in our 1st innings?

 

[ace4rmspace]

So if we can get the last wicket now, there's probabaly enough time to lose 4 odd wickets do you think? Zedman aka Nostradamus would think so I guess.

 

[yadunoe]

Did our quicks try to intimidate this harami Broad? Did we bounce and hit him? I haven't watched anything yet.

nope they just bowled at him. though wahab did give him some semi dirty looks lol

 

[Chuffed]

Conditons now overcast, not ideal for Pakistan.

Do you want me to say the truth? Or say what you want to hear?

 

[majiz]

see, one big partnership and you guys start crying.

unfortunately though, the clouds arriving and disappearing is going to be a feature of this game, it's just a thing our batsman are going to have to try and deal with.

but bowling a side out for just over 200 after losing the toss at the oval? yes plase

 

[Zu456]

Congratulations to Riaz. He's achieved what neither Waqar, Wasim, Imran or Shoaib Akhtar have achieved - a fiver on debut! Well done kid.

well sami got a 5fer on test debut didnt he. It doesnt mean he will be better than them. But congrats to wahab he looks a gd bowler

 

[Maula Jutt]

Do you want me to say the truth? Or say what you want to hear?

Truth please.

 

[yadunoe]

form 90 to 70 wahab has a big change of pace difference

 

[Inswinger]

The pitch and the conditions seem very flat at this time. We really should get over 300 here.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

crashed for FOUR ...wicket should be coming, Prior is not taking singles.

 

[ads101]

Aamir injured?

 

[yadunoe]

noooooooooooooooo aamer nooooooooooooooooooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[atif.raza]

god, aamir is limping.

 

[Awesome_Username]

Truth please.

Pretty good either way

 

[yadunoe]

I will cry if aamer is injured

 

[cricfan967]

uh oh amir injured?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

brilliant stop by Akmal. WOW.

 

[Chuffed]

Silly bowling here!

 

[cricfan967]

I just woke up, how was Kamrans keeping today guys?

 

[Maula Jutt]

This was bound to happen to Aamir. We have seriously over-bowled him this summer. I just hope it isn't serious and he gets well soon.

 

[sanakazmi]

no no no amir can't be injured

 

[cricfan967]

more

 

[majiz]

Conditons now overcast, not ideal for Pakistan.

doesn't mean it's likely to stay that way for any extended period of time.

 

[cricketpassion]

and as wicket falling ZEDMAN disappears

 

[Maula Jutt]

pretty good either way

:d

 

[sagar]

and as wicket falling ZEDMAN disappears

He'll come back now that Prior has hit 2 fours.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Kanjar nikhal gaya

),)...:Zardari

 

[Chuffed]

I don't think Aamer is injured, he seems peeved at something - Ijaz's reaction wasn't all that cordial.

 

[James]

come on matthew, 23 more runs. another century under pressure, and a 250 score for the team.

 

[Chuffed]

doesn't mean it's likely to stay that way for any extended period of time.

No, it's going to rain.

 

[cricfan967]

no ball issed:

 

[majiz]

No, it's going to rain.

i mean more over the course of the test match.

 

[Chuffed]

i mean more over the course of the test match.

Forecast is for overcast conditions.

 

[ace4rmspace]

come on matthew, 23 more runs. another century under pressure, and a 250 score for the team.

No thanks. He's already made a century not too long ago. Stop being greedy! And 225 is already more than you should have made. You were 94-7! Cheats!

 

[Gollum]

Must admit its been a fantastic knock from Prior.

 

[shan]

The pitch and the conditions seem very flat at this time. We really should get over 300 here.

Over 300 would have been ideal had we knocled them out for 125...Not now..

 

[Saurav]

Asif hits Prior.interesting

lets see if hes fined

 

[Gollum]

Freebie 4 runs

 

[shan]

Come on Asif, terrible stuff.

 

[cricfan967]

Asif man!!!!!! 4 bys !!!!!! issed:

 

[yadunoe]

england deserved that

 

[ads101]

oh asif you didn't do a broad did you?

 

[majiz]

Forecast is for overcast conditions.

damn, really?

it's beginning to feel like england are getting the better of the conditions in this series

 

[shan]

Prior will take hit if in chance he gets 4 all the time.

 

[Maula Jutt]

I don't think Aamer is injured, he seems peeved at something - Ijaz's reaction wasn't all that cordial.

Loads of mithai of your choice in ur mouth if that is true. But yeah it didn't look serious when he got back to the pavilion. Hopefully he'll be back on the ground soon.

 

[Seen Sheen]

come on matthew, 23 more runs. another century under pressure, and a 250 score for the team.

Still a longgg way to go......

 

[cricfan967]

This is getting very annoying

 

[shan]

Horrible last two seassions for Pakistan.

 

[Awesome_Username]

Do these guys just FORGET to try to keep Prior off strike?

 

[hashmist]

has butt used attacking field so far for the tailenders?

 

[Saurav]

oh asif you didn't do a broad did you?

he did,but Prior didnt do it,he was swift in his evasive action

Asif deserves a fine though for this

 

[Animal]

well sami got a 5fer on test debut didnt he. It doesnt mean he will be better than them. But congrats to wahab he looks a gd bowler

Yeah, and so did, surprise surprise, Yasir Arafat (5/161 v India). Hopefully Riaz will outshine both. Good luck to him.

 

[tauseefm]

Do these guys just FORGET to try to keep Prior off strike?

Can you please write a "Chithi" to salam butt about keeping Prior off strike. He seems more worried about his bating turn then bowling Eng out

 

[James]

Ultra lol!

 

[ads101]

oh yousuf lol.

 

[Saurav]

Yousuf joins latest drop list))

 

[Gollum]

Shocking.........
