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

[sagar]

Like someone said above, it would need a drastic collapse for Pakistan to get back into this game. Not going to happen with Collingwood, Morgan and Prior. Not on this pitch.

I've watched these guys too long to hope for a win. I guess I'm just being realistic

A couple of wickets can really change that. It's happened before and it can happen again. That's what test cricket is all about. All Pakistan needs is a couple of quick wickets and thing can change drastically.

 

[Riff]

England just too good for these SORRY Pakistanis

I really hope I'm proved wrong.

So Tea taken. I'd advise our lads to go for some Red Bull or a bit of nandrolone.

 

[sagar]

I really hope I'm proved wrong.

I am keeping my fingers crossed

 

[KingKhanWC]

Not sure, who I hate watching today, Cook who was scoring fast or Trott who is scoring nothing.

Tea.

Lassi pe lo, fir out karo.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Maiden over there to end the session.

I do not get in, Why is trott playing so slow??? Do he not get bored?

That's his style.

It's actually ideal for a no.3 as it often stops a collapse. He puts such a big price on his wicket.

Hence this is why even if he only makes a 30 or odd, he's very valuable. He really gets very frustrating for the opposition to get him out. He's pretty much the no.3 that england need.

Only problem is that perhaps he can't bat as well on away tracks. He hasn't had enough chances to prove or disprove that though.

One last chance for Pakistan to get back in the match after tea.

 

[Chuffed]

I am keeping my fingers crossed

You'll need to cross a lot more than that.
