Pakistan v England | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | Oct 13-17 | Day 2

[Mamoon]

Moeen bhai clobbered. )

 

[Hawkeye]

Lol England, just bowl Wood or Broad.

Mooeen/Adil will be absolutely thrashed. )

 

[Arsal_AK]

Moen Bhai getting a phainta.

Back to back fours.

 

[hussain.r97]

I was gonna say something, but I don't want to jinx

 

[Mamoon]

Malik's cricketing IQ >150

 

[#GreenRoars]

What an acceleration by Shobby.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shafiq should get in the fun as well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should we score 600 or declare after 10 more overs?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wheres Panesar ,he is a lot better than these two part time spinners.

 

[hussain.r97]

Should we score 600 or declare after 10 more overs?

I'd say 600, since we have no Yasir. Get to 600 ASAP.

Asad needs to join the party too, we have Sarfraz coming in next.

 

[Mamoon]

Malik doing three months into his comeback what Misbah could never do - score an ODI hundred and a Test double hundred.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Should we score 600 or declare after 10 more overs?

What declaration. Should smash them for another 20 overs. They'll be demoralised for the rest of the series.

 

[Red Devil]

Stokes to bowl spin.

 

[hussain.r97]

What declaration. Should smash them for another 20 overs. They'll be demoralised for the rest of the series.

Yeah, just make them face 10 overs right at the end. That's when they'll least want to bat. We might get a few of them out being overcautious.

 

[hussain.r97]

Why is Stokes bowling spin?

 

[Sunny786]

Pakistan has turned Stokes into a spinner )

 

[world cup captain]

Stokes to bowl spin.

Can a player even do that? )

 

[Red Devil]

Why is Stokes bowling spin?

Probably too tired to bowl fast lmao.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Earlier Boycott was crying about pitch Sir, what if Pakistan bowlers get wickets on the same pitch?

 

[Arsal_AK]

What a session.

Malik.

 

[Pete Rose]

Can a player even do that? )

Yes, Phil Defritas did that at the 96 World Cup in Pakistan when he was being clobbered by Jayasuriya

 

[Red Devil]

Can a player even do that? )

UAE makes people do weird things )

 

[Arsal_AK]

Just realized Stokes was bowling off-spin. ) )

 

[Pete Rose]

Earlier Boycott was crying about pitch Sir, what if Pakistan bowlers get wickets on the same pitch?

Like I mentioned earlier. Would be great if our pacers do the damage.

 

[Zahid87]

Malik 300

 

[#GreenRoars]

350 all out.

Bhai i hope you are watching.

 

[Zahid87]

Acceleration has been perfect so far.

600 on the cards....

 

[pak4life]

33 over remaining Pak should bat another 20 and leave 10 for England with Rahat and Wahab steaming in.

 

[m.shah]

Malik should aim for triple here

 

[Abdullah]

This is perfect.

31 overs to go if you take the change of innings. I would bat for another 16 overs and try to get beyond 600 so we do not have to bat again.

Lets have some carnage.

I do not expect Moeen Ali to be able to last against Rahat and we need to eke out another and get a nightwatchman in. End the day on 40-2.

Then the work begins tomorrow morning!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

No, they should give 20 overs to England. Give them more damage.

We will definitely bat again.

In UAE heat and flat pitch I wouldn't bowl twice even if the follow on option is available.

Plan should be: Hopefully get them out with a 300+ lead intact. Bat for session and half or so and just go crazy and set them 450 with a day and a session or 2 to go.

 

[Varun]

Is it bad that I'm getting sadistic pleasure looking at these images? :

Agreed. Bat again is more god option.

Wish Yasir would have played.

They would have been clobbered with him. Now not too sure. Let's see

 

[Strike Rate]

We need to beat England so badly in this match without Yasir and Azhar. This victory and in next match return of Yasir and Azhar will make sure England don't recover and will face another whitewash with moral down.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Man malik can get a triple hundred. He should hit out now and try his luck. Declare with 20 overs to gol

 

[Ahson8]

the match started 11 am your time, that's early

Yes that's pretty early for me

 

[Strike Rate]

Malik doing three months into his comeback what Misbah could never do - score an ODI hundred and a Test double hundred.

Some really strong word but i agree for once with Mamoon.
[MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] report here

 

[Robert]

Can a player even do that? )

I saw Botham switch to off-breaks during in a test match. Got five wickets. Probably should have taken it up full time in the latter half of his career.....

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come, just do 500+ and declare

 

[Ahson8]

Lol he doesn't come across as a burger at all. Neither maila. Maybe mummy daddy bacha )

Yaar there used to be a poster here who spread this rumour of me being a burger just because I did my A Levels at Karachi Grammar (I studied there for just two years lol)

that reminds me,
[MENTION=70365]Ahson8[/MENTION] how is you MD career going

WTH is a MD ?

 

[#GreenRoars]

So it's a good news, Yasir Shah will play next game

 

[hussain.r97]

Loving the Lays sponsorship. Looks good alongside Pepsi. Also looking good on the back of the training kit.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Maliks comeback game in ODI's he did what Misbah couldn't do - SCORE AN ODI HUNDRED

Maliks comeback game in TEST he did what Misbah couldn't do - SCORE A TEST DOUBLE HUNDRED.

#BOOM

 

[Bullet Drive]

I'm so annoyed we haven't seen Sarfaraz

 

[Asif321]

loose shot

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shafiq

 

[Bullet Drive]

Oh jinxed it. Sarfaraz comes in.

 

[Asif321]

time for saifi to score 40 in 20

 

[Hawkeye]

Some really strong word but i agree for once with Mamoon.
[MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] report here

Misbah has done what Malik can never ever dream of doing - becoming Pakistan's most successful captain, averaging highest from Asia outside Asia, hitting Fastest Test ton, mighty consistency and rebuilding every innings after a collapse.

I'm starting to like Malik and will see if he can show Misbah-like consistency. Then he can maybe become my 'next-Misbah', as he's showing the signs of late-blooming.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dumb shot by Shafiq but oh well.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

England have got a wicket? am i dreaming

 

[Hawkeye]

Why the hell this poor thing against fast bowlers is taking a review?

It was plumb. And I agree with [MENTION=138241]axl100mph[/MENTION] how poor Asad is against pace. Can't time ANYTHING.

chote bhai apne to dil per he le lya

 

[Abdul]

Sarfraz will come finally!

 

[Strike Rate]

Well i wanted to see Safraz in first innings so here he comes!

 

[Ahson8]

Shafiq
Probably a good thing. Sarf will be destructive here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sarfaraz the boss man is in.

My two favourite cricketers in Pakistan together.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully SirFraz will come out and start some fireworks here!

500 up for pakistan.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Who is 2nd?

 

[Asif321]

550 should be enough

 

[#GreenRoars]

Should be a six

But but but, he scored a well earned hundred in testing conditions against an attack ably suited to the conditions.

He is just lucky to be playing on the flattest roads where his inability gets masked.

[Prince of Pakistan]

Come on Saifi. He needs some time though. He has been stiff lately.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Stokes to Malik six! Straight as arrow....

 

[Ahson8]

Beautiful straight SIX.

 

[Hawkeye]

phainknay ki bhi hadd hoti hai, kahan 35 average player vs. a 50 averaging multiple record holder veteran. Wasim ka individual score SRT se ziada hai Tests mein, mean Wasim > SRT?

England tour is going to be a disaster.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Malik has lost it now.

He will just slog away now. Won't knuckle down for the triple.

haha but the way malik is batting he will endup with a 40+ average after this series.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Maliks foot movement non existent now. He is very very tired.

I sense his wicket falling now.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Looks like wood is chucking a couple of deliveries here. Maybe he is tired.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Argh Sarf off strike now

Malik to go within next 3 overs me thinks.

I agree even I don't rate Asad much..

 

[axl100mph]

The whole batting order is inept to perform there.
This survival game that these guys play so well here would bear them no fruit over there.
Haris, babar n umar r needed asap

[Slog]

Malik looks spent

No way should he have to bowl today

 

[Bullet Drive]

Can't afford to lose a wicket now.

 

[Arsal_AK]

How much more before declaration??

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sarfaraz is most exciting to watch in this team no doubt.

In sha Allah he can score big today!!!
