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

[IAJ]

I expected at least to score 25 - 30 here, Last few test Matches his batting has also gone down.

But he got a good delivery to be honest. Adnan shouln't have exposed him when it was only some balls left before stumps.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

single more to Ajmal.. Pak moves on to 303/8..

 

[ads101]

Ajmal might not be very talented with the bat, but goes out there and shows grit everytime. Gul just doesn't do that.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

^ was gonna say the exact thing. Ajmal looks more confident than Adnan.

 

[talha3]

Adnan happy to give the strike to Ajmal now

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

single more to Akmal.. Pak moves on to 304/8..

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

each and every run here will hurt/frustrate England..

 

[iZeeshan]

I'm still hoping for 150 lead...

 

[IAJ]

MashaAllah, Ajmal seems to have worked really well on his batting. Remember when he came first in to the team. He struggled back then.

 

[Strike!]

Anderson is very easy for me.

 

[IAJ]

I'm still hoping for 150 lead...

InshaAllah

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

at the end of the over, Pak 304/8 .. Lead by 112 runs..

 

[ddss]

hahahahahah waqar calls english bowlers "indian bowlers" by mistake

 

[IAJ]

Good ball to end the over. Ajmal survives

 

[insaftak]

need to get another 40 runs.

 

[Zeeraq]

Ajmal protecting Adnan.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

this is excellent. If they make england toil for the last 2 wickets, their shoulders will start dropping when they come out to bat

 

[Fawad2010]

40+ runs plz

 

[Fire Bird]

looks like jayasuriya with the helmet on.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

They have scored 18 runs in 6.3 overs so far since this morning.. They are scoring roughly on 3rpo.. so I am hoping 5/6 more overs here for this pair and we can be close to 150..

 

[IAJ]

Rocky in the stadium

 

[ddss]

Such a contrast between Nas' and Amir's voice

 

[talha3]

Such a contrast between Nas' and Amir's voice

)

 

[Fire Bird]

Trundler alert:

Broad bowls 125 kph. So much for being the "enforcer"

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Swing and a miss....

 

[IAJ]

Adnan not connecting

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Maiden, at the end of the over, Pak 304/8 .. Lead by 112 runs..

 

[NJamal]

Poor show by Gul in this Test with both ball & bat. Hope he shows some aggression with the ball in the second innings.

 

[Areesh]

Good batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 112

 

[JibranAnsari]

Damn adnan, can't hit pies.

 

[Love Pakistan]

Akmal cant even hit the wide balls! What a load of cr@p!

 

[Areesh]

Ajmal saving adnan now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Cheema bat ?????

 

[down4whatever]

Akmal seems out of his depth against the moving ball.

 

[IAJ]

Such a contrast between Nas' and Amir's voice

Yeah but they could have been twins

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope :adnan has 25 runs partnership with each of this last two batters.

 

[talha3]

Enough blaming Adnan, he's playing a great innings here.

 

[IAJ]

It's actually pleasing to listen to sohail, waqar and Rameez that they are not biased.

NZ, SA, SL, Bangla and India have all biased commies, but difference with english and pakistani commentators.

 

[talha3]

Adnan slashes away for 4!! Moves onto 36.

 

[pakbl10]

Four to Akmal.

 

[IAJ]

 

[IAJ]

handy runs

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

FOUR!!! muaaah to talha3

 

[JibranAnsari]

Actually I want one of our commentators to be biased.

and :4

 

[ddss]

sneaky sneaky Akmal

 

[Areesh]

Good good. :adnan

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Amir please stop talking
Why isnt Holding in the box?

 

[IAJ]

Lols why didn't swann's third delivery bounce as the first two

 

[Justcrazy]

Every run will be crucial....... adds to frustration of England bowlers.

 

[Fire Bird]

Aamir Sohail does a Shastri - If you have to flash, flash hard

 

[talha3]

And now he gets off strike leaving Ajmal with only 1 ball to face. good stuff

 

[pakbl10]

Ajmal takes a single to end the over.

 

[Looney]

Don Bradman batting for Pakistan

 

[talha3]

Ajmal wants the strike

Fair enough. Lead is now 120

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Mubarak ho lead is now 120. Muah to Justcrazy

 

[insaftak]

LOL Ajmal protecting akmal

 

[talha3]

Ajmal doing a great job here. Another 2.

 

[Areesh]

Lol wants to keep the strike.

 

[insaftak]

now he sends akmal back )

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 120 ......... its improving.....

 

[NJamal]

Lead is 120 now.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Ajmal telling Adnan to put some energy on his shots. )

 

[ddss]

LOL Ajmal protecting akmal

he's even telling him what to do )

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Ball kept low but well played Ajmal

 

[ScotRaz]

Nasser talking about Ajmal "he's an all rounder now"

 

[ddss]

we've added 26 runs today

 

[Hash]

Good innings by Saeed so far.....which is more than can be said for Gul.

Definitely one of the priorities for Dav Whatmore is to get our tail some batting ability. Can make a huge difference.

 

[IAJ]

Enough blaming Adnan, he's playing a great innings here.

Agree, he is doing a good job and he get's the runs almost every time. At the moment he is far ahead of Sarfraz

 

[iZeeshan]

I'm done with Gul.

 

[IAJ]

25 runs partnership. Another 25 will be really good

 

[talha3]

Ajmal looking solid.

Swann is in.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

agree, he is doing a good job and he get's the runs almost every time. At the moment he is far ahead of sarfraz

+1

 

[ddss]

Swann on, lets see if it turns

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Gul is really mentally fragile if things are not going his way he folds, nakli pathan.

 

[Love Pakistan]

The fun is over now! Swann comes in!

 

[IAJ]

Just don't give Swann a 5-for

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lets see if these 2 survive against swann.

 

[bluefalcon561]

I'm just smiling watching Ajmal bat. He actually looks very decent!
