Pakistan v England | 1st Test : Day 3 | DSC | 19/01/12

[adnan yasin]

Channel bowling Gul please

 

[ninjafirstslip]

cant watch match right now but are the pacers bowling with any venom?

 

[Looney]

And they get another :tuk

 

[adnan yasin]

single to cook

Trailing by 128

9 wickets in hand

 

[Badsha]

Need another lucky one Gully!

 

[adnan yasin]

cant watch match right now but are the pacers bowling with any venom?

yeah they are doing a better job then the first innings

 

[Badsha]

Short ball coming up.

 

[Badsha]

What a beauty by Umar Gul.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

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

good match though.

Exactly. I don't care which team wins from here. The match has been great so far unlike the one sided India-Australia & Sri-SA test matches.

 

[adnan yasin]

Beauty by Gullaaa

missed the edge of Trott

pitched...bounced and late movement

 

[ninjafirstslip]

yeah they are doing a better job then the first innings

Thank god!, Ajmal cant get 7 wickets every innings.

 

[style_guru]

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

good match though.

But they are the no. 1 team. Are'nt they? So It's expected from them to perform well. Infact perform *epically*.

 

[adnan yasin]

perfect straight drive but hitting the stumps the other end

couple more added

 

[Badsha]

A boundary. Four runs. Get Hafeez on?

 

[adnan yasin]

Gul should not be worried with that boundary .... keep bowling that channel ..little bit movement

will earn him a wicket

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Both the batsmen in are without a doubt in Sangakarra level form. Need their wickets to have a chance.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Umar gul serving pies at modest speeds. what a loser.

 

[Zeeraq]

Trott hitting gul for boundaries.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Trott will get a century unless we get him in the next 10 overs. These 2 are the key

 

[Badsha]

The English batsman seem to have this need of attacking in their minds. Looking aggressive.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Ajmal and Hafeez on please.

 

[Badsha]

Cheema cranking it up. 137. He's a really good bowler.

 

[Obeid]

Umar gul serving pies at modest speeds. what a loser.

Honestly the speeds for all the bowlers are down even the English...

 

[ninjafirstslip]

The English batsman seem to have this need of attacking in their minds. Looking aggressive.

They play for the win anytime/ every time mark of a great team.

 

[Amjid Javed]

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

I think england could defend 170 on this as chasing is tough on late day 4/5

 

[Badsha]

Ajmal and Hafeez on please.

Need a few more overs of fast bowling. Need a wicket from this and then spinners on later.

Maybe get Hafeez in but let Ajmal use the older ball.



Cheema bowling really well here. Nice and Pacey!

 

[talha3]

Cheema bowling with good pace.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Good pace by Cheema something English bowlers couldnt do

 

[adnan yasin]

Trailing by 122 with 9 wickets in hand

come on wicket please

 

[James]

Majestic cover drive from Trott. They brought up a chart on Sky which showed his average against spin bowling to be a cool 130. He's a fantastic player - looked just as good in the first innings to be honest, but got unlucky. One could even say, without that feather down the leg-side, our first day could have been a bit different, and better. He is the key wicket IMO.

 

[Areesh]

Come on bring in the beast.

 

[adnan yasin]

Cook finally pulled one to fine leg

single to end the over

 

[Amjid Javed]

time for some spin i reckon and see how england fair in this 2nd inns.

 

[Badsha]

An uppish shot. Risky. But brave stuff from England here.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

1 wicket as these 2 can take england into a commanding position by themselves

 

[Badsha]

Exceptional against spin but average against pace bowling.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Cook 5 off 39!!

He almost got inside edge onto stumps before that ball. Cricket has a funny way of leveling things up.

[talha3]

Cook gone!! YESSSS

 

[Badsha]

Out! Where are the GUL haters now ?!

 

[pakbl10]

[Areesh]

Hahahaha

 

[James]

Aye, not trying to make excuses, just highlighting what an important thing his castle is to the batting lineup as a whole.

 

[iZeeshan]

Seriously? Again?

They're making this so easy...

 

[Strike!]

Get em all down the legside. )

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Gul I was wrong!!!!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

In addition, with so many runs to play with, Misbah can afford to give the seamers a good blow...

cricinfo has gone to the gutter.

 

[talha3]

Quite impressed with the aggression shown thus far. That's what I like about supporting England, they rarely go down without a battle.

Almost like you cursed them.

 

[ads101]

yeah! Watta comeback from Gul.

 

[insaftak]

Cook

LOL @ all those that questioned guldozer!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Yessssssssssss

 

[Love Pakistan]

Both openers in the hut for England now! Take that!

 

[cricfan4ever]

massive wicket that, we needed Cook out early...Gulla!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[adnan yasin]

As written by some one earlier

England -121/2

 

[qamar84]

umer gul aka gulldozer is the best bowler for the secound inning in test

 

[amirfanforlife]

Lol, England.

 

[Zeeraq]

Cook out or bcz I have him in my Fantasy team.

 

[NeVerMind]

gul not a test bowler...blah blah...whinge whinge... in yer face!

 

[talha3]

Cook out or bcz I have him in my Fantasy team.

Forget fantasy man, if Pakistan win this series, I don't mind if I come last.

 

[ScotRaz]

In addition, with so many runs to play with, Misbah can afford to give the seamers a good blow...

cricinfo has gone to the gutter.

You'll only find that guttery if you have a dirty mind

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Gulldozer has answered critics

 

[violet_may]

Whoo hoo!

 

[adnan yasin]

Come on gul bowl straight to pietersen ... shuffling alot and getting in front of the wicket way to early

 

[talha3]

I'm ready for my slice of humble pie. Keep taking those wickets Gullah

 

[Looney]

Innings win for Pak would be just phenomenal

 

[Badsha]

A confidence bowler for sure Umar Gul


his pace is soaring high now

 

[adnan yasin]

yeah thats the line for pietersen .. good ball to end the over

 

[velu]

Time for some spin

 

[insaftak]

The Tsunami Babas in Dubai

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

[Badsha]

Innings win for Pak would be just phenomenal

Tell me about it.



Beating the number one side by an innings defeat. We've come a far way from 2010

 

[PakPosheeda]

Rehman should come in for KP.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]
