England v Pakistan | Third Test | Day 2 : Session 2 | The Oval | 19/08/10

[shan]

Nothing shot at the end. Now good lead is out of question, unless atleast 1 get hundred here.

 

[Gulf of Gold]

out

 

[Maula Jutt]

Well for an out of form, rusty player, Yousuf's done more than was honestly expected. Now it depends on the other batsmen to carry the momentum forward.

 

[zeeshan.mukhida]

Out

Gaya MoYo.

 

[yadunoe]

umar akmal must not get out now

 

[AZ]

Akmal bradaraan have to bat well, crucial period of the game now.

 

[Gulf of Gold]

Chota Akmal comes in.........

 

[cricket_fever]

OH this is so rubbish happening

atleast he made hi half century

 

[RehanG]

clown in to the action

 

[Rizie]

U Akmal better perform today

 

[ace4rmspace]

I see Umar has got his Krusty look on again. Go on then, make us smile ...

 

[shaaan]

Well played MoYo...you showed your class and proved class is permanent and form is temporary.....

 

[Seen Sheen]

What the hell!

Why Swann!!...He has faced better spinners than swann and toppled them....

 

[kingusama92]

Good innings.

I expected him to make 30 odd. He went well beyond that.

Showed us all how proper test batsmen bat.

 

[hamzamunir]

clown in to the action

))))

 

[Maula Jutt]

LOL And someone was saying "get 200 run lead" HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH time to wake up buddy.

Well they NEED to get that lead if they want to win this one. I never said they WILL. I said they SHOULD. Please focus.

 

[Desire]

entertainment is on!!! u akmal will not block 30 balls without a run.. thats for sure.

 

[farsiddiqui]

Was hoping that Umar Akmal would get to spend some time with Yusuf in the middle and perhaps Yusuf could get him to calm down a little. Wrong person to get out at this time.

 

[chui_kadoo]

unfortunately another batsmen gets a start and does not go on to get a big one.
Will anyone get a century in this series.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Swann just doesn't give you any bad balls.

 

[haizen]

Ugh Broad on...hate his face

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Good comeback knock b Yousuf!

 

[luvthegame]

MOYO got an inside edge but good innings on his return. Now we need to build on it. I hope Azhar and Ukmals can score some runs...

 

[Chuffed]

clown in to the action

Concise description

 

[adnan yasin]

dont worry they will make 150-175 atleast inshallah


quick fire 100 by umar akmal on the cards

B+

 

[NJamal]

Well played Yousaf. Akmal Brothers should now bat sensibly to put Pakistan in a strong position.

 

[yadunoe]

i hate umar akmal's white zinc

 

[GLORY OF '92]

100 run lead will be handy.

 

[Vegitto1]

some posters here are not even 15. Coming out with all sorts of prediction once a batsman hits a four or takes a single.

Or PP has a huge indian contingent trying to jinx Pakistan every time it seems to be doing well.

 

[Dr. Khan]

No more wickets to england in this session -------- Pleeeeeeeeeeassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[farsiddiqui]

Atleast everybody in double figures on the scorecard today. That has been very rare for us.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I cant see Pak getting a big lead now. Cant believe we are gifting wickets to swann. Yousuf should of went on. What a soft dismissal

 

[cricket_fever]

according to cricinfo moyo was meow meows 100th test wicket

 

[Desi_Joker]

*Face palm* Yousuf's gone... and with that so is my confidence. Hopefully Azhar Ali and Umar Akmal can make ammends for their failures so far in the series.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Swann just doesn't give you any bad balls.

All 3 wickets today were batsmen errors.

Azhar needs to continue and not go into his shell.

 

[cricket_fever]

well played moyo...you showed your class and proved class is permanent and form is temporary.....

 

[adnan yasin]

ball kept bit low .. .

indication for pakistan fast bowlers... if its consistently keeping low then they should be bowling rite on stumps

 

[yadunoe]

if umar akmal wants win emerging player he needs to make some good runs

 

[AZ]

well run double for Ali.

 

[cricket_fever]

I cant see Pak getting a big lead now. Cant believe we are gifting wickets to swann. Yousuf should of went on. What a soft dismissal

mishhhhhtakes happen

we r all human

atleast he played well ,made a half century

and steadied the innings

 

[yadunoe]

england should select ajmal shezad so he can traslate pakistan's plans

 

[farsiddiqui]

Ugh Broad on...hate his face

I know! Hate the smug look. Just feel like going all Afridi on him when he comes to bowl.

 

[cricket_fever]

if umar akmal wants win emerging player he needs to make some good runs

i think aamir is gonna win it

 

[MCMLXXXII]

some posters here are not even 15. Coming out with all sorts of prediction once a batsman hits a four or takes a single.

I have always been a proponent of showing the age of users next to the runs, wickets.

 

[NJamal]

Umar off the mark with a 3

 

[AZ]

driven thru covers, Umar off the mark.

 

[cricket_fever]

england should select ajmal shezad so he can traslate pakistan's plans

LOL!

just like they got KP to translate saffer plans?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Chris schofield, the oldest 12th man ever and running like it. )

Umar is away.

 

[pak4life]

need to get into some sort of lead before the new ball is due

 

[NJamal]

185/5

 

[cricket_fever]

64.1


Swann to Umar Akmal, no run, driven into the covers, Umar looks to get off the mark but is denied by a good, diving stop from Kevin Pietersen

^^cricinfo

KP???

 

[Seen Sheen]

The lead of 100 is minimum...

Now upto Umar Akmal and Azhar to take us forward...Please dont lose the initiative...:umarakmal

 

[AZ]

lipeeshtick is back.

 

[NJamal]

15 overs to new ball. Pakistan 187/5

 

[yadunoe]

lets hope azhar ali can make a century

 

[Rizie]

Atleast U akmal's innings are always exciting to watch

 

[shan]

Hopefully by 15 overs sunshine is out.

 

[NJamal]

Azhar Ali as usual too slow

 

[USaqaf]

Cricinfo commentary has stopped as usual. Crap service anyways.

 

[luvthegame]

swann needs some smacking...

 

[yadunoe]

i hat those random star cricket stats at the bottom who cares what struass nicknames are

 

[hamzamunir]

Atleast U akmal's innings are always exciting to watch

LOL based on what? Less than 10 runs he has scored the entire series?

 

[shan]

Some reverse swing?

 

[AZ]

thick inside edge, 2 more to Azhar.

 

[NJamal]

2 to Azhar Pakistan 189/5

 

[Dr. Khan]

what is broad complaining about. The batsman is allowed to use his bat is he not

 

[KingKhanWC]

Atleast U akmal's innings are always exciting to watch

He should play his normal game and go for it.

 

[NJamal]

I am wondering which of the players are fasting?

 

[yadunoe]

i kind of feel sorry for umar amin he could of made some big runs on this pitch maybe he should be there instead of farhat

 

[shan]

Azhar letting go easy 4 balls

 

[Dr. Khan]

He should play his normal game and go for it.

Agreed but he should get his eye in first.
Either way if he is at the crease the score board will tick

 

[Rizie]

LOL based on what? Less than 10 runs he has scored the entire series?

based on his nature of playing

 

[ace4rmspace]

Umar has his own way of playing spin .. one is going to sneak through ...

 

[Rizie]

Welcome back Rameez

 

[chui_kadoo]

I hope Yousuf doesnt end up being the highest scorer in paks 1st innings

 

[KingKhanWC]

Agreed but he should get his eye in first.
Either way if he is at the crease the score board will tick

Sure, the way he finds the gaps for singles and two's is excellent.

 

[Dr. Khan]

Welcome back Rameez

Tell me that is sarcasm.
As soon as they said Rameez Raja and Nasser Hussain - my immediate reaction was nooooooooooooo!!!

 

[AZ]

that's got to be for Umar
