[hamzamunir]

Salam Bhaaiyon....Match ki kya situation hai iss waqat?

 

[hashbb]

Oh!! short

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Edged!

Short of slip.

 

[Maula Jutt]

smelling wicket here

Smelling lousy fielding too, I'm sure.

 

[Dr. Khan]

Why the hell are they standing back to Asif on this pitch

 

[KingKhanWC]

Edge but short, first one of the day.

RELAX PEOPLE, this is test match cricket, the chances will come!!

 

[hashbb]

another!!!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

And again!

 

[MIG]

It's a tough one, third man is not a wicket taking position and if it doesn't go down there for 10 overs, you look very silly as a captain.

agree but with your bowling, most things are likely to go behind the wicket than in front.

 

[imshally81]

again same result

 

[slix10]

Well that's just great. Slips standing back so far as if Shoaib is bowling.

24/1.

 

[jattafridi]

 

[Amjid Javed]

Not a good start this morning!

 

[MIG]

Again - we will end up chasing a total here - Pakistan never make it easy for themselves - challo jeetain to saheeh!

 

[MIG]

Well that's just great. Slips standing back so far as if Shoaib is bowling.

24/1.

And guess who's call that is?

:akmal

Back to square one.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Lead's 50 runs now.

 

[MIG]

Yaar koyee is idiot Butt ko Battayay, 3rd man khara kar!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shining the ball like their fingers hurt. Get rubbing one side. Who is the chief shiner?

 

[hashbb]

Hero fielding by Umar

 

[Maula Jutt]

And this is why I kept on harping about atleast a 150-200 lead yesterday. This wicket is a batting paradise.

 

[cricketpassion]

Thats why in first inning big lead was required

 

[imshally81]

Excellent fielding by jr

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Good fielding.

 

[jattafridi]

good fielding by umar akmal

 

[Dr. Khan]

Ladies and Gentlemen things not looking good - lead under 50 now

 

[MIG]

And this is why I kept on harping about atleast a 150-200 lead yesterday. This wicket is a batting paradise.

Dont think any shots so far are indicators of a "batting paradise" ?

 

[hashbb]

COok getting into form

 

[ZAK]

29/1

 

[jattafridi]

Eng gonna score 450/5 dec

 

[Robert]

Ladies and Gentlemen things not looking good - lead under 50 now

Incredible pessimism!

 

[asifp]

And guess who's call that is?

:akmal

Back to square one.

[atif.raza]

Incredible pessimism!

welcome to PakPassion

 

[Maula Jutt]

Wait and see, MIG, my friend.

Though I really pray that time doesn't come!

 

[MIG]

Eng gonna score 450/5 dec

not if we bribe the scorer... let me call

 

[Rana]

Basically, pakistan should still be batting, it is a belter of a ground, they threw their wickets away cheaply

 

[Maula Jutt]

A wicket over here will do wonders for our confidence. Come on, boys!

 

[Legal Eye]

I feel we've lost it

 

[KingKhanWC]

Wahab looks focused or half asleep.

Anderson creams it through mid off. good shot there.

 

[MIG]

Incredible pessimism!

Nah - we are an upbeat people in general. Cricket has strange powers on us

 

[Dr. Khan]

30 run partnership

 

[MIG]

Basically, pakistan should still be batting, it is a belter of a ground, they threw their wickets away cheaply

That, in a nutshell, is it!

 

[Digital]

Bring back ajmal and attack Anderson !!!

 

[Maula Jutt]

I feel we've lost it

Well, I wouldn't say that.

But it's become very difficult for us, sure. Lots of pressure on our bowlers, as well as our batsmen.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Wahab on.

 

[asifp]

England will probably bat all day. We really did throw our wickets away. Butt and Akmals being the biggest culprit. Really nothing in the pithc.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Wahab on. Needs to bowl fast here.

 

[Robert]

welcome to PakPassion

This place is Pakpassion one minute and PakDepression the next!

 

[ZAK]

Wahab Riaz replaces Amir.

 

[Digital]

Cant blame the bowlers actually...no swing whatsoever

 

[MIG]

This place is Pakpassion one minute and PakDepression the next!

Ok Rob - heres a challenge - write us an article about it !

 

[Maula Jutt]

Cook should say Thank You to us. We've brought him to form again.

 

[Dr. Khan]

What the hell Rameez talking about Cook is playing the moving ball well.
1) the ball is not moving
2) cook has 8 off two edges that did not carry

 

[MIG]

A Cook hundred - just what the chef ordered ( TM/Copyright MIG 2010)

 

[MIG]

What the hell Rameez talking about Cook is playing the moving ball well.
1) the ball is not moving
2) cook has 8 off two edges that did not carry

Please dont pay attention to Rameez - ignore him and he will go away...

 

[Maula Jutt]

England will probably bat all day. We really did throw our wickets away. Butt and Akmals being the biggest culprit. Really nothing in the pithc.

Younis Khan's case becomes stronger. He'll definitely be on the next plane to UK!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Cook should say Thank You to us. We've brought him to form again.

He's still struggling out there.

Wahab finding his rythm.

 

[ScotRaz]

Am I right in saying that Wahab did not swing the ball to much in the 1st innings but was just bowling straight with little seam movements, if thats so, then this is a good bowling chnage.

 

[Digital]

Our bowlers have to settle down first....

 

[jattafridi]

 

[asifp]

This place is Pakpassion one minute and PakDepression the next!

Blame it on Ejaz BUtt and Yawar Saeed and our batsman.

If all our plyers were like our bowlers, this place would an Extra large PakMChappy
