[adnan yasin]

Today avg is bit high as per Pak Standards

they are scoring at almost 4/ over

 

[ads101]

Almost A Boundary Every Over.. Good Stuff!

putting away the bad ball as they're starting to get used to the english seamers.

We didn't let this happen so much (even though our pacers didn't bowl great, cheema was ok but is capable of better, Gul not so apart from some of the opening overs) as we were able to switch to our spinners not letting england settle.

Think england will play two spinners next match.

 

[talha3]

Salam everyone. Just woken up to see the openers still in. Has it been all smooth sailing or have there been any close chances?

 

[adnan yasin]

Can someone tell what's the attendance like today??

[Syed Ali Imran]

Salam everyone. Just woken up to see the openers still in. Has it been all smooth sailing or have there been any close chances?

Pakistani openers have started day 2 morning very positively no hiccups as of now..

 

[ninjafirstslip]

^ they were a bit lucky to be honest. A hand full of edges so far.

 

[Azlan Khan]

4 Off The Over, Pakistan 69-0.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

End of over, Pak 69/0 Trail by 127runs.

 

[adnan yasin]

good leave by hafeez

Mashallah both are playing sensibly so far

 

[talha3]

People used to complain how Pakistan always had low run rates and strike rates in tests whilst England, Australia and South Africa have higher run rates in tests. But now they should realise that even England managed a run rate of only 2.6 in their innings and Pakistan's is above 3 at the moment. These may be flat pitches but they are slow so hard to score quickly on.

 

[ads101]

Salam everyone. Just woken up to see the openers still in. Has it been all smooth sailing or have there been any close chances?

very good. will be surprised if one of them at least doesn't score well.

Broad and anderson are bowling pretty well though, it's a good thing we're batting well or we might be in trouble. We're pretty comfortable though.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

where's chacha cricket? he was seen last in the PTI Tsunami. Time for him to go to Dubai and cheer the team. Insaftak, is our PTI Tsunami symbol will be in stadium or not?

Good to hear.

 

[ads101]

^ they were a bit lucky to be honest. A hand full of edges so far.

edges weren't really catchable though, due to the way they were hitting the ball even when they were edging. Down to the ground and safe.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Shot! 2 runs to Taufeeq, Pak moves on to 71/0.

 

[insaftak]

another good straight drive by taufeeq!

 

[adnan yasin]

Straight drive by taufeeq ...didnt time it to perfection

2 more to the total

 

[Azlan Khan]

Straight Drive, 2.

 

[pakbl10]

Nice shot for a couple down the ground.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

The english are missing farhat

 

[Zeeraq]

These may be flat pitches but they are slow so hard to score quickly on.

My thought, although these pitches are easy but its hard to quick score here.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Whatta SHOT!! 4 runs to Taufeeq, Pak moves on to 75/0.

 

[ads101]

another awesome shot by Taufeeq.

 

[adnan yasin]

glorious cover drive by taufeeq

 

[Strike!]

Glorious looking shot from Taufeeq.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Shot Of The Day!
