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

[talha3]

YK out.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Trot took the wicket

 

[Strike!]

 

[talha3]

Wow that seamed in quite a bit.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

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!!

If you wanted two guys to tuk tuk all day Misbah and Younis are your men. In anycase these two will have to get the lead, Assad Shafiq and Adnan Akmal can't be counted on to get too many.

EDIT:

spoke too soon.

 

[malakian]

Trott you LEGEND!!!!

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

at the end of Trott's magical over, Pak 202/4, Lead by 10 runs.

Misbah 12*
Asad 0*

Younis 37
Hafeez 88
Azhar Ali 1
Taufeeq 58

 

[Watsupdoc]

 

[NJamal]

Trott

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Asad Shifqueee ... please don't mess up here ....

 

[PakPosheeda]

I had a feeling this would happen as soon as Misbah took a single of the 5th ball.

 

[Asif321]

) ) trott gets younis

 

[Monsee]

Oh crap

 

[talha3]

Lead is only 10 runs. Say goodbye to a 200 lead for now. Need Misbah to stay in and others to support to hopefully get a 100+ lead.

 

[James]

ROFLMAO!

It was a pretty poor innings from Younis overall IMO, didn't look at his best today, a bit lazy.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

why why why

Now I am doomed in superselector I have :asad and :adnan let's see what the young guns can do for me

 

[amirfanforlife]

Oh man!

 

[Asif321]

Big Test For

 

[AFM]

C'mon Asad!! Tuk like you've never tuked before!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

***! YK!

there goes Pakistans chances of a big lead! pretty much last recognised batsmen left. Pakistan make a pig ear of things at moment!

 

[ads101]

we will definitely get 100 lead. We're 202/4.

Whether we get a lead of 200 or now is debatable now unfortunately.

 

[Blade]

Trott taking this wicket just makes the english seamers look worse lol

 

[AFM]

Wished we had Umar Akmal though. A blazing century would've gone a long way.

 

[Asif321]

that swing by trott

 

[Watsupdoc]

Part timers striking again against Pak...

 

[ads101]

***! YK!

there goes Pakistans chances of a big lead! pretty much last recognised batsmen left. Pakistan make a pig ear of things at moment!

what you don't rate Misbah?

Asad's solid too long as the pitch doesn't do too much IMO.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

single to misbah to end the over, Pak 203/4, Lead by 11 runs.

Misbah 13*
Asad 0*

Younis 37
Hafeez 88
Azhar Ali 1
Taufeeq 58

 

[Ambi]

has been under estimating the bowling of Trot

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

needs to score at least a 50

 

[down4whatever]

Just proves that pace means nothing. Trott barely over 100 kph and delivering a beauty to beat YK.

 

[James]

from what I hear Trott has been considered a semi-decent partnership breaker in domestic cricket for some time (malakian is a county cricket viewer, he might know). Trott unfortunately has a bad back so doesn't bowl much now.

 

[Osman]

oh man....trott will probably get 5 wickets

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

single to misbah, Pak moves on to 204/4.

 

[Zeeraq]

Now Even a lead of 100 will be good.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Give it a rest dickhead, I've been here all match.

hahahaha, bro would you make any changes for the second test?

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Huge test for Asad shafique with Umar Akmal raring to go in the wings

 

[IAJ]

Good bowling change from Strauss. Pakistan need to stay calm here. Still 6 wickets left. Asad needs to support Misbah here. Test of temperament for the young lad.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Give it a rest dickhead, I've been here all match.

somebody's frustrated! Nah you wont be spared. You're going to suck on this for a long time and you've been asking for it.

 

[Osman]

asad shafiqs most important innings yet....is that kind of a position where u would want umar akmal at the crease....so a failure for asad will make those calls louder

 

[Amjid Javed]

Some pakistan batsmen needs to make a name for themselves and get a 100 here!

Apart from Azhar everyones got a start but no one has gone on to make a 100!

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Asad off the mark with a single as Pak moves onto 205/4.

 

[Ambi]

from what I hear Trott has been considered a semi-decent partnership breaker in domestic cricket for some time (malakian is a county cricket viewer, he might know). Trott unfortunately has a bad back so doesn't bowl much now.

never under estimate a bowler

 

[TheHK16]

150 lead will be good

 

[Amjid Javed]

Come on captain saab! score a 100 please!

 

[talha3]

from what I hear Trott has been considered a semi-decent partnership breaker in domestic cricket for some time (malakian is a county cricket viewer, he might know). Trott unfortunately has a bad back so doesn't bowl much now.

His bowling was being praised before the wicket.

 

[Amjid Javed]

150 lead will be good

I would be happy if we got even close to that now!

KP v YK threads - KP never got out to Trott in test cricket

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

tuk tuk means business today

 

[talha3]

Trott is bowling like Asif at 70mph.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

edged for 4 to misbah as Pak moves on to 209/4.

 

[AFM]

What a match though!! Such a surprise after the SA-SL and Aus-Ind matches.

 

[down4whatever]

Who said this was a flat track? Trott generating good seam movement !

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

at the end of the over, Pak 209/4, Lead by 17 runs.

Misbah 19*
Asad 1*

Younis 37
Hafeez 88
Azhar Ali 1
Taufeeq 58

 

[IAJ]

Just don't lose any wicket before tea.

 

[Strike!]

Trott the destroyer.

 

[Osman]

trott causing more problem than the rest

 

[ads101]

Please get Trott out of the attack he's scaring me

 

[Digital]

Damn Trott is threatening here !

[James]

hahaha, keep him on

 

[Watsupdoc]

Trott bowling like McGrath...

 

[Asif321]

that would have been out Trott looks siddle here

 

[IAJ]

Lead is alredy 17. Looking good. England will be two down before they post 17 runs anyways

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

edged for 3 runs to Asad, Pak moves on to 212/4.

 

[talha3]

I fear for Shafiq against Swann.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Seems like can't play spin that well, I am doomed

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 209/4 - need to make sure we get 350 atleast some how now!

 

[Swaraj!!]

Misbah can be relied upon.....I am not too sure about Asad yet.....with Umar you were guaranteed 40+ on such pitches......

 

[Osman]

not convinced by asad at all....always looks like he will get out at any point

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Pakistani batting pair need to be calm for a moment now... They are flirting with the danger..

 

[sarmadsl]

Edged

 

[Asif321]

me and my dad were laughing wen trott came to bowl on seeing his
record and then

 

[jattafridi]

wicket is coming

 

[Digital]

Swann against Asad

[James]

nuhhhhhhh! come on this is actually interesting at last.

wonder how Misbah will do without the far better player at the other end who has just got out.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to get to tea just 4 down and then have a solid last session!

England due new ball in last session which will be crucial!

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Pak 209/4 - need to make sure we get 350 atleast some how now!

It is right on the corner, InshAllah!

 

[PakPosheeda]

Trott also got wickets against us in 2010 didn't he?

 

[Swaraj!!]

Is Trott seaming or spinning at that speed

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

at the end of the over, Pak 212/4, Lead by 20 runs.

Misbah 19*
Asad 4*

Younis 37
Hafeez 88
