[m.shah]

Such a costly drop

 

[punter17]

Butler counterattacking

 

[Zeshan547]

Game Set Match, Series, thanks Hassan Ali, what a time to drop that,,,

 

[Watsupdoc]

Buttler dropped )

 

[imshally81]

Tough chance... But..

 

[DeadBall]

Has Hassan dropped the match? Needs to restart his generator.

 

[Hasan123]

Should have taken that catch.

 

[ArsenalFC]

We needed that, lets see how costly that will end up being. Butler scores his runs quick and he's in the mood to unleash havoc.

 

[imshally81]

2 more quick wickets and we will in the game..

 

[Markhor]

Hasan Ali didn't seem to get the memo about our improved fielding and catching.

 

[Khan12]

Hasan to redeem himself.

 

[Justcrazy]

Butler is looking dangerous.

 

[srh]

Damn you Hasan

 

[m.shah]

Faulty generator Hasan ali

 

[ArsenalFC]

Comon Hasan make amends with your bowling

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Hasan Ali just had to show how inconsistent we Pakistanis are. A drop catch was due.

 

[AFM]

Hassan hattrick for redemption

 

[Ab Fan]

Pakistan ned to get all done under 50 more.

 

[punter17]

Slightly weary of every Tasleem, Danish, and Haroon going on about AMIR NEEDS TO PITCH IT FULL.

Who knows more about fast bowling? The guy who Wasim Akram said knew more about bowling than he did at 18 or Tariq, Daulat and Hafeez? He may not have accomplished what many hoped, but I think he understands fast bowling better, as do Azhar Mahmood/Mickey who say same thing ad nauseam.

And the wasim & coach staff has suggested Amir to bowl close to stumps and pitch the ball up.

 

[Mueez]

We've got 2 more wickets before the new ball is available!!!
Yes, we are back in the game.

 

[Hasan123]

Hassan Ali needs to get a wicket to make up for that drop.

 

[AFM]

The guy with the blackboard

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Hasan

 

[ArsenalFC]

The guy with the blackboard

Looking for a wife hahahahha

 

[m.shah]

We've got 2 more wickets before the new ball is available!!!
Yes, we are back in the game.

Should have been three

 

[DeadBall]

The guy with the blackboard

Earlier it said "wake me up when we get a wicket"

 

[Hasan123]

Need to keep it tight till the new ball. Can see us picking up wickets with the new ball.

 

[punter17]

Man, these medium pacers have been dealt with batting outside the crease in the past, if you were to watch Razzaq & Mcgrath failing in later part of their career. Modern cricket has advanced so more. We need a 90+mph bowler, as that will put these batsman back in the crease, as they try to play late

 

[punter17]

Shadab losing the plot

 

[AFM]

Looking for a wife hahahahha

Job for [MENTION=146746]Rishta Aunty[/MENTION]

 

[Hasan123]

Good crowd in now.

 

[DeadBall]

The two B's can take the match out of our hand very quickly.

 

[imshally81]

Another wicket coming soon

 

[AFM]

Earlier it said "wake me up when we get a wicket"

Haha what a guy. He's awake now.

 

[ManFan]

Was the Hasan catch going fast?

What happened?

 

[Lefthanded]

And the wasim & coach staff has suggested Amir to bowl close to stumps and pitch the ball up.

Read my post. That's exactly what I said in the last sentence.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 59 runs

 

[pratiktc]

How much worse would Morgan do than Malan in middle order in Tests? Personally feel he has higher ceiling and almost same career time frame (3-4 yrs) left.

 

[babajee]

Was the Hasan catch going fast?

What happened?

He didn’t see it until it was too late so couldn’t really get his hands to it.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

2 more quick wickets and we will in the game..

Nah. too little too late. All the things which went against England in the first test are going against Pakistan in this one.

 

[ManFan]

He didn’t see it until it was too late so couldn’t really get his hands to it.

Damn.

That would have put us into the drivers’ seat.

 

[Hasan123]

Good stop.

 

[NeVerMind]

2 maidens in a row by Hasan Ali

 

[punter17]

Ball is doing a bit. May be we shouldnt get a new ball, and try bowling tight line, stump to stump for wickets?

 

[Robert]

How much worse would Morgan do than Malan in middle order in Tests? Personally feel he has higher ceiling and almost same career time frame (3-4 yrs) left.

I concur, and he would be a more combative skipper than Root.

 

[ManFan]

ENG are still 59/5.

 

[Hasan123]

Bairstow and Buttler looking to attack Shadab.

 

[ManFan]

Butler to be bowled by Shadab by being on the backfoot.

 

[AFM]

ENG are still 59/5.

More like Pakistan are -59

 

[punter17]

ENG are still 59/5.

They have 15 wickets in hand, while we have only 10

 

[Hasan123]

Good stuff from Shadab.

 

[Lefthanded]

We need a 90+mph bowler, as that will put these batsman back in the crease, as they try to play late

Shocking to put Razzaq and McGrath in the same sentence.

And McGrath was the highest wicket taker in his last ODI series, the 2007 WC. And he took 20 odd wickets in his final Test series [Ashes]. And he was still economical.

 

[AFM]

Butler seems eager to give more catching practice.

 

[shaaik]

Pakistan and drop catches can’t stay away from each other for long...

 

[babajee]

Good aggression from Hasan.

 

[Hasan123]

Good bouncer.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both English batsmen keeper batting here are dangerous.

 

[ManFan]

Hope he retires hurt

 

[punter17]

I know both of them are class apart. But pace wise, they are very similar. You could see batsman coming out of crease and throwing kitchen sink at them in later part of the careers (when cricket got bit fast). And that took swing out of the equation. And bowler tend to go for plenty due to that tactic.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Buttler's glove velcrow is on top of his wrist. Never seen that before.

 

[Hasan123]

Wicket is coming when Hassan is bowling.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Amir only bowled 3 overs in his last spell?

 

[punter17]

Butler is striking ball beautifully. Wont be surprised if he goes on and make a century here.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Just need to keep it tight until the new ball. Butler will go soon after.

 

[ManFan]

How many overs are possible?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Max we can afford is 120 then get at least 350

 

[Justcrazy]

That dropped catch will cost Pakistan dearly

 

[KingKhanWC]

Butler is striking ball beautifully. Wont be surprised if he goes on and make a century here.

Good deck and old ball. Let's see if the T20 star can do the same against the new cherry.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

One of these two have to go before new ball arrives.

 

[Justcrazy]

Max we can afford is 120 then get at least 350

Pakistan need a solid spell from someone.

 

[Hasan123]

No need for a deep long on for Bairstow. He has started slowly.

 

[punter17]

I think Abbas should have bowled at new batsman

 

[Hasan123]

We are waiting for the new ball it seems.

 

[Hasan123]

Pom commies hyping up Currans batting.

 

[Hasan123]

Faheem into the attack. Surprising decision.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Id give an over to Faheem and rest Hasan.

 

[TalhaSyed]

After dismissing the two set batsmen straight after tea, the drop catch by Butler just took the wind out the sails for us.

Let’s see if Abbas & Amir can produce any magic with the new ball

 

[ManFan]

Faheem into the attack. Surprising decision.

Probably saving Abbas and Amir for the new ball

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Hasan's drop is already looking costly. Here's hoping.......

 

[babajee]

Yessss Rana
