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

[ads101]

Azhar should have been put on strike sigh. Asif a bit too confident in his batting abilities.

Shame Azhar didn't get his century, but a very good innings by the man.

 

[Boi]

Oh man! Poor Azhar Ali.

 

[Noman]

asif talking with Pieterson..

 

[hashmist]

Oh you stupid stupid man Asif!

 

[dirk diggler]

ali gets his just deserts for not farming the strike correctly, but i guess he wanted to remain not out!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great innings.

 

[Blitz]

Gotta say, serves Ali right. Okay to the FOURS, but not okay to take 2 on the first ball. Epic fail on the thought process.

 

[yadunoe]

that sucks why did azhar take the double he just ruined his own chances

 

[asifp]

Should have said no to the 2nd.

The pitch looks very very very flat, nothing in it. Pakistan will have to bowl really well to keep England under 300.

 

[Big Mac]

As they walk off, Asif is casually explaining to Pietersen exactly how he's going to dismiss him tomorrow morning

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

azhar you beauty! Asif just survive now please (memories of inzi being stranded at 92 in port elizabeth starting to creep in)

massive facepalm...

 

[Gollum]

how many overs will england face?

 

[luvthegame]

But well played...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan have a 75 run lead.

Lets hope we get atleast 2 wickets tonight!

 

[MIG]

Asif -> Swann = Cleaners

 

[farsiddiqui]

Well played Azhar!

Should have kept the strike though.

 

[TigerJat]

75 runs lead is not bad

 

[WNC]

Ah crap! poor Azhar, left on 92, bechara

 

[Maula Jutt]

That's the price Azhar paid for giving Asif so much strike.

 

[Desi_Joker]

Nooo! Azhar stranded on 92

 

[ZAK]

Poor Azhar couldn't get his century

A wonderful innings by him nonetheless.

 

[asifp]

Time to drop Azhar Ali, if you score you get dropped, if you flop you are in the team, that is the policy for selection.

 

[Gollum]

massive facepalm...

azhar ali not completely blameless, he was constantly allowing asif full overs at the other end...

still a wonderful effort!

 

[WNC]

He should've just taken the single and be on strike himself.

 

[chukandar_gosht]

idiotic shot by Asif. Has he got anything between his ears

atleast he has more between his ears than the person in your avatar.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This is good. If we can get a couple out now it will be our day again.

 

[hashmist]

So still no centurion for Pakistan in 9 innings of this tour so far.

 

[hamzamunir]

KP Class act by patting AA on the back and congratulating. WHAT A MAN.

 

[Slickman]

good lead, but must not let england get over 200 , i would be nervous then!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Asif as usal got to excited. Pretty selfish stuff

 

[adnan yasin]

we should bowl them out with in 250 MAX

otherwise it will be tough to bat on end of day 3 and whole day 4 and score more then 180 runs


AJMAL should tke a 5fer

 

[NJamal]

ZEDMAN I told you Pakistan will get a minimum 300 today. Where are you now?

 

[farsiddiqui]

As they walk off, Asif is casually explaining to Pietersen exactly how he's going to dismiss him tomorrow morning

Would be great if he dismisses him today. Wishful thinking, I know.

 

[hashmist]

So still no centurion for Pakistan in 9 innings of this tour so far.

 

[TigerJat]

I'd be happy with a wicket in the 5-10 overs that we will bowl

 

[adnan yasin]

we should bowl them out with in 250 MAX

otherwise it will be tough to bat on end of day 3 and whole day 4 and score more then 180 runs


AJMAL should tke a 5fer

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Nooooo! Azhar Ali !

 

[the Great Khan]

any lead by pakistan is a good lead..makes a change for Gods sake!! cmon lets have some optimism here..!

 

[IAJ]

75 runs lead is not bad

InshaAllah we will get 3-4 wickets before England erase the deficit

 

[MIG]

As they walk off, Asif is casually explaining to Pietersen exactly how he's going to dismiss him tomorrow morning

You are making this up - its KP asking Asif to be gentle with him...

 

[Poison]

Well played Pakistan, particularly Asif at the end without the helmet, that was comical!

 

[nads_rocks]

Well played Azhar deserved the century but its the contribution that counts, Pakistan have cross the 300 barrier after a long time and with a lead of 75 which I guess isn't bad at all, Lets hope for some quick early wickets, 2-3 wickets would be great.

 

[yadunoe]

Azhar is just not that clever but the lucks are favoring him

no, I think he got a message from butt to get this over with and hit around he played for the team and took every run available he didnt care about his 100. good stuff from azhar

 

[KingKhanWC]

Aah what a shame. Ali deserved a maiden ton. Well played.

 

[Inswinger]

We need at least 2 wickets before England surpass our lead.

 

[Gollum]

lets finish it tonite...LOL

hey its possible!

 

[Poison]

any lead by pakistan is a good lead..makes a change for Gods sake!! cmon lets have some optimism here..!

Thank you !

Done well boys, could've gotten more but 75 is good enough

 

[Gollum]

double post

 

[shaaan]

We scored 30 runs more after Strauss drop of Asif...these 30 extra runs could be quite crucial. If Strauss had taken asif's catch we would have given a lead of 43 now its 75

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Unfortunate for Azhar but all said and done this is a decent lead and we should aim for 3-4 wickets before England eventually overhaul that deficit. A wicket tonight will go a long way for us as conditions are said to be quite good for bowling tomorrow.

Cook is a walking wicket so let's not let him back into any sort of form

 

[chui_kadoo]

atleast he has more between his ears than the person in your avatar.

What has Akhter got to do with any of this. Asif should of realised that Azhar was close to getting his maiden century and should not have gone for his shots until he got his 100.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Lets take 2-3 wickets in these 6 overs.....:aamir

 

[hashmist]

Just looked at Butt's wicket. What a dumba$$! Kaisee tatti kee Butt nay.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Had we been India and England been Sri Lanka, Kevin Pietersen would have been suspended by now.

 

[Maula Jutt]

We need to at least get Cook tonight.

 

[yadunoe]

ya I hope we dont drop anything

 

[cricfan967]

A wicket today and we're truly on top.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

15 mins for England to bat

Pakistan need to make them play at EVERYTHING!!!

 

[Obeid]

Cook is a walking wicket, we should have 1 down tonight.

 

[rash]

come on boys.... get bawarchi out ASAP

 

[d0gers]

We need at least 2 wickets before England surpass our lead.

Ideally we need 2 wickets before close of play!

 

[Stewie]

i smell something funny Cooking right now.

 

[Gollum]

Regular service by Kami resumes

 

[chui_kadoo]

dear oh dear, Akmal fluffs up again. When will they get rid of him once and for all. I am so fed up with him

 

[Cheguvera]

$h!t head Kh@tmal let a four go thru..

 

[hashmist]

Akmal is a truly pathetic keeper. What a moron!

 

[pak4life]

goneeeeeeee

 

[chukandar_gosht]

What has Akhter got to do with any of this. Asif should of realised that Azhar was close to getting his maiden century and should not have gone for his shots until he got his 100.

[Gollum]

[Deewana Mastana]
