anyone missing the game?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Nasser complaining

He does have a point though...

 

[James]

Go Barbie

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I wish Pakistan had a boom boom player in their test team :umarakmal

 

[Monsee]

How come Broad has not been warned by the umpire so far for running on to the pitch...his follow through pretty much ends smack on the middle stump?

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Can anyone predict when Misbah will bring out the reverse sweep against Swann?

two slips in place doubt would that happen

 

[Asif321]

Misbah better then tendulkar????

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

two slips in place doubt would that happen

True but if he gets settled and slips are removed, he'll definitely think about it.

[James]

How come Broad has not been warned by the umpire so far for running on to the pitch...his follow through pretty much ends smack on the middle stump?

because the world is a racist place.

on a side note, Misbah and Younis might average loads and be solid but I'm sorry, they're absolutely brutal to watch

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

A lead of 200 will be nice for Pakistan

 

[bluffmasterv2]

[Strike!]

because the world is a racist place.

on a side note, Misbah and Younis might average loads and be solid but I'm sorry, they're absolutely brutal to watch

[Paradox]

My goodness, we missed this guy and Misbah touring England in 2010.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

because the world is a racist place.

on a side note, Misbah and Younis might average loads and be solid but I'm sorry, they're absolutely brutal to watch

Younis and Misbah won't give anything to the English bowlers, they are like Trott in that respect. Misbah can hit when the time is required though, don't have any doubts on that score.

 

[NJamal]

Pakistan into the lead

 

[Paradox]

on a side note, Misbah and Younis might average loads and be solid but I'm sorry, they're absolutely brutal to watch

Just Misbah mate, you can see Younis is trying to make an effort to rotate strike, and hitting the average balls away. Misbah's just defending every single ball, regardless of it being average or good, and hitting the full ones.

 

[adnan yasin]

POST LUNCH SESSION

60 runs in 21 overs with loss of 1 wicket

 

[hhhhdmt]

hope younis gets a 100

 

[NJamal]

because the world is a racist place.

on a side note, Misbah and Younis might average loads and be solid but I'm sorry, they're absolutely brutal to watch

Like Cook, Trott, & Strauss.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

So I guess it clears the air, is the world's best spinner, Swann is probably on par with Bhajji

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

single to misbah as Pak moves on to 199/3.

 

[Monsee]

Was that supposed to be funny Whippy?

I guess he must have a sign on bonus i.e. due to a being son of a noble and upright whinger, he gets to go where no other mere mortals are allowed

As for the last comment...Trott and Cook say hello?

Trott bowling.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Trot is gonna bowl .. can imagine ... how desperate England is ... at the moment

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Madhusudhan sends us: "Bad news for England with Pakistan now in the lead...England have won only twice after conceding a first-innings lead in the subcontinent. Both these wins have come against Pakistan. 1961 in Lahore by 7 runs and 2000 in Karachi by 17 runs."

cricinfo

Good news for Pakistani fans.

 

[Random Aussie]

If ever there was a time for tuk tukking it is now. Put the idea into the English minds that Pakistan wickets will be hard to get. Cricket is a mental game, England would have walked out expecting to win. Now they will be doubting that.

Tuk all day Misbah!!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Trott in to ball

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lead will be here at least 100
