England v Pakistan | Third Test | Day 3 : Session 2 | The Oval | 20/08/10

[AZ]

10 mins to go, going to be tough to get rid of the English batsmen on this wicket.

 

[Pakistani93]

Saeed ajmal will be the key for Pakistan, Both cook and Trott didn't look comfortable against him.

 

[Theo_14]

I'm going jumma now so hopefully when I come back Pakistan will have taken a wicket or two .

 

[ahsan88]

Need a couple of quick strikes after lunch.

England are still 30/2 for me.

 

[A.M.]

yup they are 35/2

 

[AZ]

he doesn't turn the ball much at all though. mark my words he will not take many more wickets in test cricket.

Majiz, beware! we will come after you on this one!

 

[MIG]

Need a couple of quick strikes after lunch.

England are still 30/2 for me.

and we are -30 for 0! thats a scarier thought !

 

[ahsan88]

An expensive 5fer for iDone is what I predict.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Aamer Sohail saying the ball is going to definitely start reverse swinging at some point today. So the team needs to bide their time and try stopping runs for now rather than trying to take wickets.

 

[AZ]

^ yup that sounds like the right strategy.

 

[t11sk9]

Come on lads, lets do this. Big session coming up for us so lets take a couple of wickets quickly and make inroads IA

 

[Xoib]

Aamer Sohail saying the ball is going to definitely start reverse swinging at some point today. So the team needs to bide their time and try stopping runs for now rather than trying to take wickets.

do we have a reverse swing bowler?

Asif is not, Amir is tired and over worked while Wahab is still a lottery.

 

[AZ]

Bawarchi ko out karooo

 

[Energy]

We need to stop the runs and Ajmal will probably occupy one end for a long time. Need Riaz also to settle nicely and not panic.

 

[shan]

Did England bowlers get some reverse swing? I dont remember any? Or maybe now days after Freddy they cant?

 

[majiz]

come on

 

[majiz]

Did England bowlers get some reverse swing? I dont remember any? Or maybe now days after Freddy they cant?

[AZ]

[shan]

[AZ]

[Maula Jutt]

Crapinfo have lost it, Mohammad Yousef is bowling right now.

[ahsan88]

Ahmed bhai bawarchi HALWA bana kar out hoga

 

[Dr. Khan]

The boy called Shehzad can but he is not in the squad

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to have bowled england out by the end of today or they can kiss this match good bye!

 

[T20_Cricket]

Crapinfo have lost it, Mohammad Yousef is bowling right now.

[AZ]

good, probing over from Asif.

 

[AZ]

ufff, good delivery from Saeed.

 

[aqeelPK]

Asif's dignity is at stake here. lets see if he can take some wkts on this flat track.

 

[T20_Cricket]

Come on Saeed Ajmal

 

[AZ]

Holding REALLY overdoing the TC of Cook.

 

[majiz]

Asif's dignity is at stake here.

no it isn't. he averages a little over 20 in test cricket, you idiot..

 

[shan]

Damn Cook set to score 100 runs here.

 

[majiz]

Lol oh dear

 

[AZ]

NO-BALL!

that was plumb...

 

[shan]

***

 

[Maula Jutt]

Rotten luck.

 

[shan]

Why bowl no balls at this stage? Was it really plumb?

 

[Dr. Khan]

Something about Umpires at the Oval - That was too tight to be called a no ball

 

[AZ]

its reversing for Asif!

 

[majiz]

Rotten luck.

indeed.

 

[luvthegame]

bad luck...

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

team tends to put their head down very quick..

 

[shan]

its reversing for Asif!

Really?

 

[AZ]

wide half-volley.

 

[RehanG]

how come asif is bowling all of sudden at 87 mph

 

[aqeelPK]

no it isn't. he averages a little over 20 in test cricket, you idiot..

oops sorry my mistake. got carried away a little.

 

[AZ]

Really?

I think so

 

[luvthegame]

come one boyz get these over rated english batsmen...

 

[shan]

If only Ajmal could spin the ball as much as Swann.

 

[AZ]

Asif cranking it up...

 

[Maula Jutt]

124-2.

That's looks like a very good score. If you are English.

 

[majiz]

If only Ajmal could spin the ball as much as Swann.

if only he could spin the ball as much raza. oh wait that's why he should be in the side.

 

[AZ]

Asif 86.9 mph!!!

 

[RehanG]

If only Ajmal could spin the ball as much as Swann.

Ajmal is no match for Kaneria in test

 

[hur rizvi]

Asif's pace is good in this spell



Last ball 140kph

 

[majiz]

lol asif is up in the mid 80s now, the cheeky git!

 

[shan]

140KPH how is this possible from Asif? Maybe faulty speed guns?

 

[luvthegame]

Ajmal is no match for Kaneria in test

How can you not play at the oval which is usually a slow turner on days 3-5...

Another booboo by ...Their logic is he underperformed..how about the other under performers...:akmal:umarakmal

 

[Rizie]

75/2

 

[yadunoe]

just got in can some one update me ?

 

[hur rizvi]

Thats great asif showing he can ball wid good pace





Ajmal disappointing so far

 

[Dr. Khan]

Lead of 53 now!

 

[AZ]

Short and pulled.

 

[majiz]

140KPH how is this possible from Asif? Maybe faulty speed guns?

nah he's just turning it up a gear. i'm praying for something a la st georges park 2007.

 

[hur rizvi]

140KPH how is this possible from Asif? Maybe faulty speed guns?

Nope he is constantly bowling in mid 130s and fastest was 140 kph may be due flatness of the wicket

 

[majiz]

Another booboo by ...Their logic is he underperformed..how about the other under performers...:akmal:umarakmal

kaneria is dreadful.

 

[shan]

Damn, our hope of chasing small total is going away. Need a wicket quickly.

 

[yadunoe]

any drop catches?

 

[AZ]

Ais knows there's nothing in the pitch or overhead, so he's trying to reverse, which is only really effective at pace.

 

[luvthegame]

Ajmal is useless...we are missing....DK...

 

[luvthegame]

kaneria is dreadful.

He has over 250 wickets...

 

[hur rizvi]

Asifs speed this over:

Bowl 1 = 83.8 mph
Bowl 2 =82.3 mph
Bowl 3 =82.1 mph
Bowl 4 =84.2 mph
Bowl 5 =84.9 mph
Bowl 6=83.3mph

 

[shan]

any drop catches?

Not dropped but they let go one chance of Cook between the slips and now they are paying the price.

 

[aqeelPK]

just got in can some one update me ?

128/2. england enjoying good batting conditions.nothing much for the bowlers.cook batting well after shaky start.one of his edge went through in between 1st n 2nd slip.we are dependent on ajmal from now on.

 

[AZ]

Vicky bhai looks relaxed.

 

[majiz]

sorry but (again) holding is talking rubbish. a few extra miles an hour can make all the difference.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Vicky bhai looks relaxed.

Why wont he?! After all he's the coach of the "markhors"

 

[yadunoe]

asif kay speed wah bhai wah

 

[AZ]

Uffff, almost bounced on to the stumps!!!

 

[majiz]

asif is looking dangerous.
