England v Pakistan | Third Test | Day 1 : Session 3 | The Oval | 18/08/10

[Gollum]

Farhat will have to wait for another day...Lara would be relieved

 

[Rizie]

Beautifully bowled

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just why England were rushing after that last Swann over

To get 1 more over in and do something and this is what they do!

 

[Cheguvera]

Farhat you crap...I hope now you and your pathetic sussar are kicked out of Pakistan cricket once and for all...

 

[cricfan967]

Bowled in.

 

[ZAK]

Farhat

 

[Maula Jutt]

Farhat 11 on 55 balls

 

[cricketcrazy]

I'm glad Crappy Damaad didnt make any runs other wise he would have stick to another series.

 

[Gollum]

Nightwatchman in

 

[cricket_fever]

Farty

.......padna chhoro.......Ab to farty ne HUGG dia

 

[Cheguvera]

Punk a$$ Butt...chickened out...

 

[nads_rocks]

For once I am happy with a Pakistan wicket! What the hell Butt jus sends in Wahab Riaz?

 

[Dr. Khan]

Farhat was going nowhere and then decides to play his shots in the last over of the day

 

[farsiddiqui]

The rookie hero comes out as night watchman.

 

[Gollum]

I'm glad Crappy Damaad didnt make any runs other wise he would have stick to another series.

Farhat ain't going anywhere

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wahab Riaz the nightwatchman

 

[Friend786]

farhat **** off !

 

[Amir]

Why are we playing these 3 balls? The day should be up.

Butt should have came in.

 

[adarsh_bang]

17.3
Anderson to Imran Farhat, OUT, Anderson with the breakthrough! Farhat has worked so hard to try and get through to tonight but this was full and outside off, inviting a drive which came off the inside edge and ricochetted on to off stump




oh boyy !!!!

 

[adarsh_bang]

do they send a night watchman out now ???????????

 

[ads101]

bouncer first ball to riaz. Rather mean really

 

[Deewana Mastana]

.......padna chhoro.......Ab to farty ne HUGG dia

 

[cricketcrazy]

Farhat just proved me wrong I predicted 80 balls 20 runs

 

[WNC]

Wahab having a word with the bowler, not bad.

 

[Seen Sheen]

,Riaz looks confident out there...

 

[Chuffed]

Wahab getting involved in heaty exchanges!

 

[adarsh_bang]

wahab riaz... nightwatchman..... good move

 

[TigerJat]

thats what happens when you play negative cricket

Should've played the balls on merit, probably would've scored 20+ runs and then got out.

Now he played 55 balls, only has 11 to show for it.

 

[farsiddiqui]

Never quite agreed with the night watchman phenomenon. If your proper batsman is not confident about keeping his wicket, how do you expect a tailender to?

 

[Gollum]

Riaz got a tiny bat

 

[adarsh_bang]

what if wahab scores a 50 or 100 here !!!!

 

[Awesome_Username]

Why are we playing these 3 balls? The day should be up.

Butt should have came in.

I think there's 25 more minutes to go.

Edit : guess not.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England shout loud for an LBW

No REVIEW by ENGLAND

 

[Civil]

Imran Farhat how much more time can they give him. He's played every test since the new zealand series last year!

 

[yadunoe]

why did farhat that loser get out

 

[luvthegame]

shame on IF. He waited for the last over of the day to play this shot...

 

[Seen Sheen]

No review..

Missing leg

STUMPS
48/1

 

[Maula Jutt]

48 for 1, Stumps.

 

[ads101]

oh stop joking around England lol.

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/48 | 18 Overs | Trail by 185 runs

Stumps - Day 1

 

[cricfan967]

So one wicket down

End of play 48/1

 

[pak4life]

pathetic should never ever ever ever ever ever play for pakistan again

 

[yadunoe]

man if he wouldn't of got out this would have been a picture perfect start

 

[adarsh_bang]

Wahab having a word with the bowler, not bad.

looks quite a character .... has some words for the batter when he's bowling too.... good on him

 

[ZAK]

Sumps

48/1

 

[Chuffed]

Wahaab looks like he'll stick around tomorrow - a fighter.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Farhat should not play for Pakistan again 11 of 55 on an oval pitch.

 

[Seen Sheen]

That wicket has sort of relaxed England a bit..Otherwise,the were looking a bit flat out there..

Farhat,issed,

 

[adarsh_bang]

end of day one .... and pakistan sitting pretty if you ask me ... what ever farhat scores is bonus anyways

 

[yadunoe]

so are we gonna have a press conference now?

 

[adarsh_bang]

Farhat should not play for Pakistan again 11 of 55 on an oval pitch.

just imagine this line up with fawad alam instead of farhat ... the difference it makes to the batting , fielding

 

[WNC]

looks quite a character .... has some words for the batter when he's bowling too.... good on him

Yeah we need characters like him in the team

Farhat seriously is mind-boggling. Tuk tuk his way to 50 odd deliveries and then tries to do something in the last fricken over. Cricketing Genius that lad is.....

 

[Maula Jutt]

man if he wouldn't of got out this would have been a picture perfect start

We kinda have built quite a reputation of messing up our picture perfect starts later on. So maybe this is a good sign.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Opening position ki 'be-hurmati' ki hay.....

 

[WNC]

lol, true that

 

[Seen Sheen]

just imagine this line up with fawad alam instead of farhat ... the difference it makes to the batting , fielding

adarsh bhai,we all have been imagining this for a while BUT nothing changes...

 

[the Great Khan]

So fisherman hameed has played well today..always knew be was better than moon and farthead!!

 

[Robert]

Well played Pakistan today. I think I like Riaz - he's got some swagger.

 

[Noork85]

pakistan are a team who can barely make 150, anything above THAT is a bonus. im really hoping yousuf can Save us along with hameed. so far hameed and wahab have exceeded my expectations, thank god for that.

has farhat been worst than Cook in this series? cook seems to celebrate by picking his nose, LOL. but cook is one weakness in the england team, and ours is full of weaknesses, so farhats gotta go, and soon.

 

[Chuffed]

Well played Pakistan today. I think I like Riaz - he's got some swagger.

Definitely a character. Can't wait to see him and Zulqarnain in the same team.

 

[Noork85]

@Robert- i second that, i like his attitude. he gives it right back to them.

 

[luvthegame]

Bring in Fawad Alam and YK then will have a good team for the next year or so..

 

[Maula Jutt]

has farhat been worst than Cook in this series? cook seems to celebrate by picking his nose, LOL. but cook is one weakness in the england team, and ours is full of weaknesses, so farhats gotta go, and soon.

I think Cook and Farhat are both in the same boat in this series. The only difference being, that Cook might be dropped soon if he continues on this disastrous path, whereas Farhat's grandkids would be seen in future cheering for Grandpa opening for Pakistan.

 

[shaaan]

I think that should be it for Imran. Hameed should be replacing him with Salman opening up with Hameed.

Malik out (provided opportunity to Hameed)
If Farhat is dropped then we can draft Umer Amin back in the side and after this tour if PCB recall YK back into the team then our test batting line will look strong.

S. Butt
Hameed
YK /Azhar Ali
MoYo
Azhar Ali/Umer Amin
Umer Akmal or Fawad Alam
Zulqarnain Haider
Bowlers

 

[TigerJat]

lets hope we don't lose this momentum early tomorrow morning, when the ball will move around some and the there will be moisture in the pitch

Hameed

MoYo
Azhar Ali/Umer Amin
Umer Akmal or Fawad Alam
Zulqarnain Haider
Bowlers

If both MoYo and YK are back, then we have space for 2 new batsmen in the middle order.

My vote goes for Fawad Alam and Umar Akmal

Umar Amin and Azhar Ali should be brought on slowly as well into the side as games permit.
