[Desi]

ah trott-cook the ultimate borefest. Trott even looks boring hitting boundaries.

lol!

 

[ads101]

Last over before Lunch... AJMAL THE MAGICIAN in attack now..

would have kept Hafeez in the attack personally.

 

[Hasnain_786]

safe then off to school.................................after this over

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Good first over from Ajmal first up and here it is Lunch... England 16/1 trail by 130runs..

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

see you all in 45 mins...

 

[insaftak]

Lets wait for Bob Willis crying on skysports.

)

 

[Fireworks11]

Every run is essential as Pak will chase last. Fielders must be with it.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Lets wait for Bob Willis crying on skysports.

PTI Tsunami in sky sports right now )

 

[ddss]

I feel bad now..that wasn't out

 

[JibranAnsari]

England have a very good batting lin
eup , pakistan will do well to restrict them to 300.

 

[thurkeebaba]

Lets wait for Bob Willis crying on skysports.

I bet you he wouldnt be sticking up for the 3rd umpire anymore....

AIk Tsunami Aik Toofan!

Insaf in Dubai! Don't you love Insaf )

 

[Zeeraq]

9 more wickets needed to win.

 

[AZ]

would have been perfect if we had gotten another wicket, but this is just fine.

sharp spell from Gul/Cheema and can rest up now, come back after lunch for another burst.

pitch is taking turn so spinners will definitely come in to play...tough times ahead for the Angrez.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I feel bad now..that wasn't out

Neither was ajmal ,so it is even. We might have scored 40 more with ajmal.

 

[insaftak]

Shocked bob willis isn't crying.

 

[ss3samzy]

Lets wait for Bob Willis crying on skysports.

)

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH I was just gonna say that

 

[Justcrazy]

Lunch ........

 

[ss3samzy]

Neither was ajmal ,so it is even. We might have scored 40 more with ajmal.

It was out though

 

[ss3samzy]

I meant Strauss was out

 

[insaftak]

Bob Willis isn't crying.

This is Jewish Conspiracy.

 

[Fireworks11]

This is the key partnership. Two guys who would bat forever.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It was out though

Yup , everyone heard the nick but hotspot did not show anything.

 

[thurkeebaba]

wow... Bob is not whinging, and still behind the 3rd umpire decision...

 

[ScotRaz]

Shocked bob willis isn't crying.

He's probably been told by the Sky producers to stop moaning

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Lets wait for Bob Willis crying on skysports.

)

You named it, calling Waqar a little biased )

 

[Afridirocks]

lol nothing wrong with bob willis said so far

 

[insaftak]

Ok.

Now he is calling Waqar biased. He is slowly moving towards whining

 

[PakPosheeda]

Will the match be decided today?

 

[ss3samzy]

You named it, calling Waqar a little biased )

Willis the baba cant differentiate between the sound made when the ball hits the bat, or the pads

 

[VolcanicAsh]

This is a crucial partnership, get these two and half the job is done.

 

[cricfan4ever]

need trott & cook out early, this is the key partnership...

 

[ScotRaz]

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

It was there because the ball bounced off the pitch.

It would have been a thicker and rougher white mark on the ball then. It was a clear bright white spot on the ball which clearly suggests it nicked the bat.

 

[insaftak]

Now says ajmal looked guilty too by pointing at his arm guard. Slowly getting there.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Whats Willis talking about Ajmal being guilty.
This old **** needs to just retire.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Now says ajmal looked guilty too by pointing at his arm guard. Slowly getting there.

Yup and that Ajmal might have nicked it who knows - Willis

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Now says ajmal looked guilty too by pointing at his arm guard. Slowly getting there.

Ball was no where near the gloves as shown by the side view.

 

[Justcrazy]

How long is lunch.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

well it even out the ajmal's out

 

[Asif321]

How long is lunch.

25 mins to go

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

How long is lunch.

21 minutes left for the 2nd session to start

 

[thurkeebaba]

Nasir is a legend.... Totally agree with him

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Nasir is a legend.... Totally agree with him

+1

Anyone that talks against him on here should be banned

 

[velu]

Pakistan should aim for innings victory.

 

[James]

what's saying?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nasir is a legend.... Totally agree with him

what did he say?

 

[Fawad2010]

Seriously, this guy Willis needs to get a life. insane buddha

 

[insaftak]

what's saying?

DRS Changes nothing. If there was no DRS both batsman would still be out with old system and would be complaining about the decisions. However, DRS has overturned other decisions so overall DRS is a good thing.

Nasir Makes Sense.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

I like Willis for his crying views. C'mon man there should be someone different.

He did admit that umpire was right to give strauss out but in the end said "biased" waqar for calling it woody sound )

 

[James]

Not sure about the Strauss wicket, hehe...English TMS callers and texters all say thigh, Pakistani PP users all say bat I lean towards bat based on the timing of the sound...but was it a woody sound?

ah well, not to worry, won't affect the result IMO. England have a lot of questions to answer here.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Pakistan should aim for innings victory.

of course ... we are going for that

 

[xbox]

Just add Asif and Amir to this team...under misbah's captaincy..this would be the team to beat!!!

 

[TanweerPP]

Asad Shafiq

 

[khalil1986]

Need 3 more wickets before they wipe the deficit we nee to get them out for no more than 246.

 

[teesra3]

England have a strong batting lineup!!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to pretty much have england 5/6 wickets down atleast before they get to 150. Lets hope ajmal and co can run through england like we did in 1st inns.

 

[James]

What is a lead that England could potentially win the match with? I think 230. Only another 360 runs then

 

[adnan yasin]

its tough to bat on in my opinion .... when swan was bowling .. it was spinning and bouncing as well....and fast bowlers bowled decently so far

 

[JibranAnsari]

What is a lead that England could potentially win the match with? I think 230. Only another 360 runs then

yup, piece of cake.

 

[James]

the odds are reallllly against England here. ah dear me.

 

[thurkeebaba]

what did he say?

He said that Ajmal's decision should have been overturned since it was totally obvious and confirmed by the replays that Bowden had made a wrong decision..

However, for Strauss, there was no conclusive evidence and therefore the decision should have stayed with the on-field umpire..

 

[teesra3]

Just add Asif and Amir to this team...under misbah's captaincy..this would be the team to beat!!!

Its still the team to beat, just get rid of gul and asad

 

[thurkeebaba]

What is a lead that England could potentially win the match with? I think 230. Only another 360 runs then

I think it'd be very difficult chasing anything more than 175 in the last inning (considering England's strong bowling)

 

[ads101]

What is a lead that England could potentially win the match with? I think 230. Only another 360 runs then

360 just being a par score.

After all people forget Sri lanka when batting again managed near 500 again.

It's even odds nearly, pakistan just a bit ahead.

[style_guru]

Hey Whipster, all is not lost for England. The team which shows more determination can come out on top here.

Sanga scored 200 in that and was dropped how many times??

 

[ads101]

Sanga scored 200 in that and was dropped how many times??

yeah but England are a stronger batting line up, and who knows we may drop catches again.

Batting here in the second innings isn't much more difficult than batting in the first. 4th innings might be harder simply because it's harder and more pressure to chase a target.

You guys are talking about Abu Dhabi pitch which is way more flatter than the Dubai Pitch.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

To all those who were accusing cheema of wearing a wig. There you go, he cut his hairs to show he wasn't wearing one earlier lol

 

[James]

thanks for the banter lads, but I reckon it needs an *epic* England performance to win this now.

good match though.

 

[Looney]

Just add Asif and Amir to this team...under misbah's captaincy..this would be the team to beat!!!

beat up with a baseball bat

 

[ads101]

You guys are talking about Abu Dhabi pitch which is way more flatter than the Dubai Pitch.

my mistake then.

Still think 360 or so is a par score even in second innings though.

 

[teesra3]

Cook 2 off 26

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Dont you wish Cheema had an inswinger?

 

[ads101]

Cook struggling.

think it'll come down to Trott and Bell really.

yeah depends on how many catches we drop
