Pakistan v Australia | First Test | Day 2: Session 1 | Lord's | 14/07/10

[siccric]

Lotsa swing for Hilfenhouse (sp?) in these cloudy conditions but he is too wide to bother anyone who isn't going to fish

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

This azhar seems the part to me.

 

[dblock]

There's cloud cover now over Lords..

 

[hur rizvi]

Johnson in to the attack.....

 

[Random Aussie]

Has only scored 18 runs so far. Nothing to get alarmed about but he looks quite assured.

I don't like him. He averages 45+ against us. He needs to go.

 

[Sakss]

mitchi comes on....

 

[adnan yasin]

39/1

 

[ZAK]

39/1

 

[IAJ]

That's about as much a response as I am likely to get eh

Los it's a fact so keep laughing

 

[ZAK]

Johnson replaces Bollinger.

 

[hur rizvi]

First rash shot by Butt sahab

 

[dblock]

I don't like him. He averages 45+ against us. He needs to go.

Well he makes up for the many 'well below average' averages that Pakistani batsmen have against Australia.

 

[siccric]

Absolutely hideous fishing from Butt.

 

[Sakss]

noo need for that shot......chill out butt

 

[adnan yasin]

lack of bending down .. lack of feet movement... flashy drive.. missed the edge

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

First rash shot by Butt sahab

whats the outscome?

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

But is the key for Pak

 

[pakbl10]

4444444

 

[adnan yasin]

more like that ... close to the ball ... flashy drive 44444444444

 

[hur rizvi]

That was better from butt...

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/43 | 14 Overs | Trail by 210 runs

Salman Butt move to 22.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

butt sahib looking to fish.............

 

[dblock]

Classy from Butt.

He's very Jeykl and Hyde when he plays, from one ball to another.

 

[Sakss]

good stuff boys..keep it up

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

nice shot to end the over
4444444444444444444

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

good shot butt..,

 

[iZeeshan]

Azhar Ali is the player I've always wanted to see at number 3 for Pak

Happy days

 

[ZAK]

1 to Azhar.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

in to the 15th over now....44/1

 

[Rana]

decent start from pakistan, expected Farhat to flop as usual

 

[Seen Sheen]

Butt looks very assured at the crease!

 

[Rana]

come on boys, give us a 100

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

may be Yasir Hameed a good replacement for Farhat in the next test..

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/44 | 15 Overs | Trail by 209 runs

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Pakistan trail by 209 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

decent start from pakistan, expected Farhat to flop as usual

Welcome to the club!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Tidy over that......44/1 15 gone.

 

[ZAK]

44/1

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

they need to continue until score reaches atleast 100

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Pakistan RR 2.96
Last 10 ovs 33/1 RR 3.30
Min overs remaining 74.0

 

[Rana]

may be Yasir Hameed a good replacement for Farhat in the next test..

No joke, he will probably score a hundred as well,

 

[Sakss]

good stuff so far....see it off till lunch

 

[Rana]

God bless these youngsters under Afridi

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

may be Yasir Hameed a good replacement for Farhat in the next test..

maybe?....not maybe....definately!!...bring yasir in.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

About 13 minutes until lunch

 

[Random Aussie]

Give Smith a bowl before lunch Ponting!

 

[dblock]

149ks from Johnson.. effort ball aimed quite well too.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

As long as farhat is in the squad selections he will be in the playing eleven......the remedy is to stop being selected in squad

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Nice leave there by ali!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Guys, hows Azhar Ali looked so far in the middle? Any small analysis so far of his innings?

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

God bless these youngsters under Afridi

Aameen

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/45 | 16 Overs | Trail by 208 runs

1 off the over.

 

[hur rizvi]

Good going Pakistan ....


45/1 16 overs

 

[ZAK]

1 to Ali.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

16 gone 45-1

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Azhar keep it up

 

[dblock]

Pakistan seem quite content here to play out till lunch. Will be a good approach should they not lose any wickets they are not in any hurry to get the scorecard moving.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Butt on 22*
Ali on 16*

 

[ZAK]

45/1

 

[cric_crazy]

azhar looks a gutsy player to me.......I hope he doesn't looses his brain, so far he has don well to leave the good balls away........nice lill inngs so far.......

 

[Khabri420]

Probably another 2 overs till lunch.

Come on boys...no brain farts

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Guys, hows Azhar Ali looked so far in the middle? Any small analysis so far of his innings?

Has played some good shots, but has been a bit edgy at times also, seems to have a good technique and good shot selection also.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

just about 7 minuites till lunch.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

please no brain farts......please no brain farts......

 

[adnan yasin]

I think its way too early to criticized farhat ...

this is a test match .. he will bat again probably... in the 4th innings .. if u want to curse him like that then do PRAY .. that he dont score runs in the second innings as well

 

[UmarMalik]

Great start from Pakistan.. I hope Azhar Ali and Umar Amin do a really good job today so we wont ever have to think about Mohammad Yousuf and Shoaib Malik

 

[akbarc1]

Azhar ali gone!

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Azhar ali gone

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Three slips and two gully men in place...no mid-off. Huge gaps for the drive if the batsman is brave/foolish

 

[Rana]

overcast, tricky test ahead

 

[Afridirocks]

[Sakss]
