England v Pakistan | Third Test | Day 2 : Session 3 | The Oval | 19/08/10

[Chuffed]

Anderson very easy for me....... Saaed Ajmal

 

[hashmist]

Oh what the hell! This is all Kami and Jr's fault. We wont even get a 50 run lead here.

 

[farsiddiqui]

iGone!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

So lead of 50. If eng get 250 they are favourites.

 

[chui_kadoo]

England will win this one now. Mark my words. Pak brainfarting in batting again

 

[Saurav]

Anderson isnt that 'easy' after all

 

[luvthegame]

Azhar ali is allowing the tail to bat...not good...he should have protected the tail..like Prior did in the 1st innings.

 

[nads_rocks]

30 runs reqd to pass the 300 mark, 1 wicket left, can it be done, there is still hope, a 50 run lead is better than trailing by 50. So I take it these runs are a bonus as the new ball has done great damage.

 

[yadunoe]

i feel sorry for azhar will never reach a 100 now i think he needs to hit around

 

[chui_kadoo]

The krapmals need to be locked up for good now and the key thrown away. Both are just tripe

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Idone - "Anderson very easy for me"

 

[Pakistani tigers]

come on Ali yaar, why take the single?!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Azhar has to open up now. No point in prodding. Needs to show common sense

 

[Maula Jutt]

This game now looks very hard to win. We needed at least a lead of 150-200 on this wicket to feel comfortable and to put any kind of pressure on England. Even a 100 lead wouldn't have cut it, to be honest.

Now again, we depend on our bowlers to get England out under 150.

 

[Poison]

So many posters here have gone to sh**!

 

[zains_rulez]

I dont know why they are not taking this serious , they need atleast 100+ runs lead to have good position in this test

 

[chui_kadoo]

please survive the last ball.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asif has one more ball to survive!

 

[hamzamunir]

LOL and you were asking for 200 ))) That's why i said "Wake up".

 

[A.M.]

no run Azhar will be on strike needs to hit nw

 

[chui_kadoo]

The game is good as gone. Cant believe time and again they throw the advantage away. Ridiculus stuff

 

[Noman]

Azhar needs to hit out or get out..

 

[Maula Jutt]

LOL and you were asking for 200 ))) That's why i said "Wake up".

And I was right in asking for that. Because without that kind of an imposing score, we really have no chance now.

 

[farsiddiqui]

I know they didn't want a single, but couldn't they get two here with the ball going to the boundary almost?

Oh well, playing it safe I guess.

 

[Chuffed]

We need 3 players out of this team for sure - Butt, Farhat and Kakmal.

 

[TigerJat]

last wicket now.

Start scoring some runs.

We don't have much time left, and don't give strike to Asif

 

[hamzamunir]

Azhar needs to start playing shots and get as many runs as he can.

 

[A.M.]

no run again

 

[zains_rulez]

again we will be looking for our bowlers to do some trick
please give the lead of 50 runs atleast

 

[chui_kadoo]

Is there a chance of Haider coming back for next test match?

 

[cricketpassion]

The game is good as gone. Cant believe time and again they throw the advantage away. Ridiculus stuff

and I would blame :akmal :umarakamal for this

 

[farsiddiqui]

I guess they just don't want to run anymore at all. Boundaries only.

 

[MIG]

The game is good as gone. Cant believe time and again they throw the advantage away. Ridiculus stuff

You are hereby awarded the Tamgha-e-Bewaqoofi...

 

[hashmist]

Pressure is firmly back on Pak bowlers now to win this. Thanks to Mr. Cuptaan, Mr. Junior and Mr. Senior. Aka the "Usual Suspects".

 

[A.M.]

The game is good as gone. Cant believe time and again they throw the advantage away. Ridiculus stuff

ok so dont watch the match the game is gone so no use watching it

 

[zains_rulez]

azhar try to play shots like matt prior did in 1st innings

 

[MIG]

no more run outs pls

 

[Seen Sheen]

Run out on!!

 

[nads_rocks]

Azhar is trying to protect the tail when it is too late, he should just go for it now has nothing to lose not like Asif is gonna be hitting 4's and 6's get the lead upto anything above 50 is all you could think of now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for Azhar!

 

[ZAK]

to :aali

 

[A.M.]

 

[chui_kadoo]

4 to Ali

 

[MIG]

A lead of 50 and chase 150-200 in last innings is doable.

 

[ace4rmspace]

What a ganda chaunkaa but a chaunkaa nevertheless

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asif has to face next over.

 

[A.M.]

dot ball

 

[zains_rulez]

Four

i hope asif will rotate strike & survive

 

[chui_kadoo]

and I would blame :akmal :umarakamal for this

He is just utter trash. I cant wait till Haider comes back. Hopefully the end of Krapmal's career. The worst keeper pak have ever had

 

[TigerJat]

last ball no run, lets see if Asif can survive another over

 

[yadunoe]

common asif plz

 

[farsiddiqui]

Asif to face the next over. Please survive or get a single.

 

[MIG]

Asif exposed...

 

[chui_kadoo]

need 26 more runs to break the duck

 

[hashbb]

Asif show our batsmen how to bat!

 

[Iqbilla]

Need to slog a quick 25 - 35 and then have 10 overs at England.... with our bowlers we might get 4 or 5 wickets with the clouds over the head

 

[hamzamunir]

nail biting moments here.

 

[A.M.]

hufffffffff close one!!!!!!!!

 

[IAJ]

It was a single there, definately

 

[Maula Jutt]

A lead of 50 and chase 150-200 in last innings is doable.

Given that our bowlers present us with another miracle here. Which seems a little hard now that Amir is definitely exhausted as can be seen from his performance in this test, and Ajmal is off-color. Don't expect Riaz to give us another 5-fer.

Not to forget, this is a batting wicket now.

Hence, we can pray to god for divine intervention, but otherwise, this looks hard.

What p!sses me off though is that there seems to me to be no planning from the mgmt. They should have come to the ground with the mindset that they have to score 400. Instead, it looks like they've come with the midset to only finish off England's lead and whatever's on top is bonus.

 

[hamzamunir]

Ramiz Raja: " I think he's trying to bounce him out"....... *** ramiz...

 

[A.M.]

shoooooooooootttttttttt

 

[khalil1986]

What a shot Asif oi

 

[IAJ]

wow what a shot from asif

 

[Seen Sheen]

A lead of 50 and chase 150-200 in last innings is doable.

In 4th inngs...
Against Swann..
keeping in mind our 'glorious' record chasing a target..


...But still I am pretty hopeful we'll chase it anything between 170-200 this time around..!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Top shot by Asif for 4!

lead is 45!

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[luvthegame]

4...what a shot by asif..his batting is also improving..

 

[chui_kadoo]

shot for 4 on the ground. Krapmals please take notes

 

[yadunoe]

wah bhai wah

 

[farsiddiqui]

Asif doing his best MoYo impression.

 

[chui_kadoo]

[Amjid Javed]

Dropped! Strauss drops Asif!

Phew!

 

[A.M.]

poor fielding

 

[yadunoe]

[hamzamunir]

Ramiz Raja: " I think he's trying to bounce him out".......


Can anyone tell me what he meant by that when he was talking about Finn bowling to Asif.

 

[IAJ]

Captain drops is

 

[Boi]

[khalil1986]

Dropped need 20 more runs

 

[yadunoe]

I must be dreaming eng droped more catches then pak
