Pakistan v England | 1st Test : Day 2 | Dubai Sports City | 18 January 2012 |

[Ashraful_Rox]

Swann is nothing special on flat tracks, he got thrashed in India. Ever since his KP comment, there's been a dip in his performance and Kp's performance.

 

[jattafridi]

swann gonna take 5fer

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should not take any chances here now, drinks round the corner.

 

[ads101]

Tremlet one of my favorite bowlers, built like Tarzan but bowling like Vinay Koomar

dunno what's wrong with him. People are blaming the subcontinent conditions but he's better than this.

 

[adnan yasin]

Pak 85/0

Trail by 107

Hafeez 44 Taufeeq 38

 

[PakPosheeda]

Lol at Tremlett the giant trundler. 130 km

 

[Justcrazy]

If these two can stay till lunch..... :

 

[Areesh]

swann gonna take 5fer

Oh bhai achi baat karo.

 

[talha3]

oooo direct hit would have been gone.

 

[adnan yasin]

wait till azhar ali comes in to bat.

hahahah ...yeah he is also one worst player of spin

 

[insaftak]

@ that running

 

[Strike!]

Brainfart.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

yikes, Ian bell misses run out chance. Close one for Hafeez and Pakistan..

 

[Justcrazy]

Direct hit.......... it would have been out.

KP is always on and off these days. Doesn't start any test innings in the form he used to be, he's shaky. If he stays in he gets back to his usual best though. Still don't think he's the player he used to be before he lost captaincy. Still good, but not great anymore. Hope he recovers that magic, but of course not in this series.

 

[Justcrazy]

When the ball is pitched up ........ looks nervous.

 

[cricfan4ever]

poor running that, was definitely a one, Taufeeq should've responded, nearly ran Hafeez out

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Maiden over, Pak 85/0. Trail by 107 runs

Hafeez 44*
Taufeeq 38*

 

[Justcrazy]

Good defense

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 107 runs........ These two must get that down . Not leave to others.

 

[hazen_batti]

Lol at Tremlett the giant trundler. 130 km

There must be some problem with speed gun.

 

[adnan yasin]

inside edge by taufeeq

[Syed Ali Imran]

inside edge for single to Taufeeq, Pak moves on to 86/0.

 

[Strike!]

Taufeeq against spin.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Pakistan 86-0.

 

[hazen_batti]

Taufiq is a bit rusty.

 

[Justcrazy]

Swan asking questions here

 

[shakil]

Pakistan pathetic against spin as always

 

[adnan yasin]

last few overs were bit quiet for pakistan

score 5 runs in 4 overs

[cricfan4ever]

48 runs in the 1st hour, 48-50 in 2nd hour without a loss of wicket would be just perfect
