Prior in. England 0/5.

-75/0 to be more precise

I think Prior & trott may just put on a partnership that will make Pak bat..

Ramiz really praising Pakistan.

Gets a lot of criticism from fans of being against Pakistan, well tune in now.

 

[Maher96]

we should get them out before 150 and win by an innings.

 

[majiz]

two saffers at the crease now, they tend to be a bit more resilient than the english

 

[Sledger]

Rameez speaking as if Pakistan have already won.

 

[slblack]

So is Cheema even comparable to Mr. Asif?

Can anyone more knowledgeable please compare their bowling?

 

[Sledger]

Good ball! Bit of seam. Well played by Trott again, looking good.

There is no comparison lol.

 

[talha3]

Cheema with a Akhtar-esque extra effort ball.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

ENG 18 to 1 to win
Draw is 55 to 1

 

[teesra3]

-75/5 to be more precise

[Sledger]

Asif is (was) in a different league.

 

[Sledger]

75/5. Tough times for England.

 

[jattafridi]

tea

 

[Britstani]

well deserved tea and biscuits!!!

 

[slblack]

There is no comparison lol.

Ah well, still eats at me how we lost two of the world's best fast bowlers in the blink of an eye.

I know were supposed to move on but it is just not easy to forget the sheer class that was at our disposal.

Trott and Prior manliest of manly Jo berg boys at the crease.

It was a bad loss, but if we can do what we are currently doing to the no1 team then who needs them

 

[Areesh]

Any chance of innings defeat?

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Any chance of innings defeat?

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

I understand but let's forget those traitors and move on.

 

[qamar84]

i think the key here will be trott wicket if we got him before his half century then angland morale will be destroy

 

[khalil1986]

We need Trott before the deficit is removed

Well asif was the most complete seam/swing bowler pakistan produced lately. didnt rely on speed but more on guile by swinging and seaming the bowl both ways and worked batsmen out pretty quickly and accurately. by bowling within himself he good bowl long spells and maintained a mcgrath esque metronomic line and length that constricted the run rate and took wickets. but had a flawed character unfortunately,
Cheema is very one dimension, has decent pace but bowls wide of the crease and generally just angles the bowl into the right hander. bit more skiddy. Not sure if he has many variations up his sleeve or even reverse swing but seems more than adequate for the job in hand. Really is trying though, wish him well but i think there are better bowlers on the bench.

 

[Britstani]

HA HA botham on sky....he seems dejected lol...no answers to whats happening

 

[adnan yasin]

England -71/5

Can we finish it off today please

 

[slblack]

I understand but let's forget those traitors and move on.

I guess thats true, As Pakistanis we are used to losing some of our best talents.

So much potential has gone down the drain that the process of moving on is second nature now.

I hope our board looks towards the future and develops our brightest stars now.

 

[Lara400]

England folding like the bad old days, Pakistan taking wickets like the good old days!

 

[talha3]

HA HA botham on sky....he seems dejected lol...no answers to whats happening

At least he's trying to not use excuses so credit to him for that.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Botham is actually a pretty nice guy. Much maligned here on PP.

 

[adnan yasin]

At least he's trying to not use excuses so credit to him for that.

as they are masters of unusual comments

Ian botham should demand a 50% match fees of kevin pietersen for playing that shot

 

[Swaraj!!]

Trott looks unmovable anytime he moves to double figures and Prior was not out in the first innings......

Would be awesome if Pak can Beg, Borrow or Steal at least one of these in the next dozen runs

 

[Maher96]

need to make sure trott goes.

Prior and Trott can both still save England.

 

[Saurav]

best batting line-up?

 

[AZ]

dream session for Pak!

its Trott or bust for England now...get Gul back for a 4 over burst.

 

[Maher96]

Trott looks unmovable anytime he moves to double figures and Prior was not out in the first innings......

Would be awesome if Pak can Beg, Borrow or Steal at least one of these in the next dozen runs

our bowling is capable enaough to get them without any of that

 

[James]

Botham has mellowed a lot in the last few years, gives credit where it is due. Good pundit.

 

[slblack]

Or just blow them away like we did in the first and now second innings?

Oh and how is that tour of Australia coming along?

 

[ninjafirstslip]

best batting line-up?

Still is. Perhaps South africa comes close but these guys are still top.

It's a bad game. It sucks but it happens. 7-nil and counting is it?

 

[Sledger]

Agree, was surprised at his frank interview. :rondu

 

[Vegitto1]

best batting line-up?

better than India's by far.

 

[adnan yasin]

Tea: It's been a while since England have been pushed to the corner in a Test. They are 71 behind and have already lost half their side. It's been a combination of spin and seam (of Umar Gul) that has done them in in this game. Still not over yet though. Their lower order is one of the strongest in the world.

 

[slblack]

Im surprised they arent whining about Umar Gul's action after this innings.

 

[Sledger]

Misbah's army coming back out.

 

[Sledger]

Rehman on.

 

[adnan yasin]

Rehman to start the proceedings after TEA

 

[James]

Im surprised they arent whining about Umar Gul's action after this innings.

In fairness - do one.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Oh and how is that tour of Australia coming along?

I suspect you know quite as well as I do........

No need to be snarky......I am for supporting Pak here

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

England 75-5. johnathan trott is the threat now.

 

[Sledger]

Easy single.

 

[James]

good enough to last the session? we will see

 

[Britstani]

At least he's trying to not use excuses so credit to him for that.

thats because they dont have any excuses...england are shellshocked as to whats happening plain and simple

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

One of my friend who is at DCS, said that England fans started leaving the stadium after England lost 4 wickets

 

[Sledger]

Why are Strauss and Bell laughing?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

That wasn't close.

 

[adnan yasin]

good bowling by rehman ...still keeping the pressure

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Afridi and Gayle fetch highest BPL prices

 

[Sledger]

One of my friend who is at DCS, said that England fans started leaving the stadium after England lost 4 wickets

Must not have been with the barmy army.

 

[Sledger]

78/5.

 

[slix10]

"Pakistan have a great chance here to twist the knife, go for the jugular, put the foot on the throat and kick England while they're down, making a huge statement here of how well they've come back from all their problems."-Cricinfo.


Can it get any more violent?

 

[Sledger]

Gul to bowl.

 

[ScotRaz]

One of my friend who is at DCS, said that England fans started leaving the stadium after England lost 4 wickets

Who was the 4th wicket? Seems like this person must have been England's Afridi/Tendulkar, soon as they're out it's time to start your cars

 

[adnan yasin]

Gul ..... come on one more wicket

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need another good session here and we need to take atleast 3 wickets if not all 5 in this session.

Come on Pakistan!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

left that ball.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

lol pace and intensity.... proceeds to bowl it in at 125 kph

 

[Sledger]

Gul doing a good job here, making Trott play outside off. Just needs one to do a bit.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

surely we need to nail them down .. right here .... before letting them back in the game
