Pakistan v England | 2nd Test | Abu Dhabi | Jan 25th, 2012 | Day 1

[dhump]

adnan akmal gone.

 

[Saqib]

Adan out was always on the card how he was playing

 

[786warrior]

i have al the faith in pakistani bowling if the fielders dnt drop dollies

that's a big IF bro

 

[JibranAnsari]

Broad has become a seriously good bowler, even for flat pitches.

 

[Iffitheking]

and Kodu is gone...

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

why being defensive if you can't handle it , should misbah hold back still or its time to shift the gears & attack ?

 

[James]

Aren't you underestimating england?

nah don't think so.

also biting my tongue with some of the posts above, looks like we have some new cheerleaders.

 

[dhump]

and so our real hope for going past 300.
asads wasted shot is costing us big big time.

 

[Sledger]

Where is Misbah going LOL? Has he declared? )

Walking back with Adnan.

 

[malakian]

Bowled Broady, bowling like a true champion.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I dedicate this wicket lovingly to asad shafiq.

 

[786warrior]

time is the fire in which we burn..hopefully time will be on our side in this!!

poetry

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

I think for now misbah should protect the tail till the close of play today & attack tomorrow. Now that should be the game plan which can take us close to 300.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Where is Misbah going LOL? Has he declared? )

Walking back with Adnan.

Making sure he knows where to go. Great captaining. Leading from the front

 

[dhump]

Hopefully Misbah and Adnan can play out the day, will be a big booster for Pakistan.

I also noticed that these pitches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are very good wickets.
They have good bounce and there is also something for the spinners.
Maybe someone can start a thread about this withs stats like average score etc.

Jago bhai adnan is gone.

 

[Sledger]

Long tail will hurt Pakistan here. Need Misbah to scrape this up to 300+

 

[Jawiz]

Broad must be one of the worlds best fast bowler in test right now! What a ripper, he's going for a 10 fer this match! (jinx)

 

[786warrior]

still have faith in idone and the tail to drag us to 300 - hopefully!!!

 

[inzy_paratha]

Good bowling from Broad, been impressive throughout this tour. Misbah needs to start scoring now, hes not going to have a great deal of support from the other end you wouldn't think , so responsibility of getting the score to 300 lies solely on his shoulders.

 

[Sledger]

Rehman's collar is up. Looks like he's got a 50-60 in him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We can be all out today.

 

[dhump]

i dedicate this wicket lovingly to asad shafiq.

+1

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Rehman can be good , if allowed to attack so misbah protect him tonight unleash him tomorrow.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Rehman form has been horrible lately

 

[786warrior]

misbah might need to erupt at some point!!

 

[Justcrazy]

216 /6 ........pakistan need to fight here

 

[Pak_Power]

It has become England's day now!!

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

Bowled Broady, bowling like a true champion.

champion has an bowling average of yadav

 

[Sledger]

Should have referred it Adnan.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

3.3 overs to survive tonight

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

I dedicate this wicket lovingly to asad shafiq.

thuis man is getting on my nerves with his idiotic comments, mods please ban this guy

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

for captain

 

[Sledger]

Fantastic shot by the captain.

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

 

[Sledger]

Misbah moves to 47*

 

[malakian]

champion has an bowling average of yadav

Broad>Any Pakistan fast bowler.

 

[Justcrazy]

is much better than @17 average , he has 12 first class 50s........ needs to make it count here, when chips are down

 

[dhump]

It has become England's day now!!

better day then the match we have firepower to get them out cheaply and I am sure we will.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Rehman form has been horrible lately

Well for the tail enders form is never the question they go by each inning so as far as he can deliever in this one. Everything goes out of the picture.

 

[HumorMe]

Broad must be one of the worlds best fast bowler in test right now! What a ripper, he's going for a 10 fer this match! (jinx)

I second that (jinx x2)

 

[dhump]

Broad>Any Pakistan fast bowler.

You>Any Indian troll.

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

Broad>Any Pakistan fast bowler.

afridi balls faster then broad in asia

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope the tailenders can add another 50 runs with here.

 

[Sledger]

Commentator's hating on Misbah's class innings. Must be jealous of the great man.

 

[duostyle]

First 4 for Misbah, next one scheduled for tomorrow just before lunch.

 

[malakian]

You>Any Indian troll.

Just pointing out the facts.

 

[Zaz]

To post us to a competitive total misbah is the key

 

[JibranAnsari]

44/2 in 22 overs this session. pathetic to say the least. We could easily have scored 30 more.

 

[James]

can we play more than 90 overs? until 1pm

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

excellent shot by Misbah :4

 

[dhump]

Broad>Any Pakistan fast bowler.

and Umar Gul thinks the same.

 

[Sledger]

Misbah goes to fifty.

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

KAPTAAN zindabad

 

[Zeeraq]

50 up for Misbah.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

another by captain , we need him to extend as long as he can

 

[HumorMe]

Broad>Any Pakistan fast bowler.

Keep dreaming!

 

[Asif321]

Mard e Haq inching towards another 50

 

[dhump]

50 Up for Cuptaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

 

[Justcrazy]

must be told that he needs to score here, its vital

 

[Sledger]

Looks like he's ready to play some shots here.

 

[duostyle]

First 4 for Misbah, next one scheduled for tomorrow just before lunch.

Oh noes my silly joke.

 

[malakian]

50 up for Misbah, well played.

 

[Amjid Javed]

If england get misbah out that will be the icing on the cake for them in todays play!

Pak 221/6

 

[Sledger]

From 0 fours to 2 fours in two overs. Boom Boom.

 

[dhump]

can we play more than 90 overs? until 1pm

same is my question is it up to umpire or batting team to decide.

 

[IAJ]

Let's hope England continue with same trend by picking up two wickets in each session. They have already taken those two in last so no more wickets now thank you!

 

[slblack]

Awesome umpiring in a Pakistan innings once again.

 

[velu]

Broad>Any Pakistan fast bowler.

started again

Jimmy struggling to get wickets here

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Rehman best is 60 , well even if he can match that here would be awesome

 

[Amjid Javed]

50* for captain! make it a 100 please!

 

[Justcrazy]

If is not given out unfairly , he can score some.

 

[yousuf_yousuf_yousuf!!!]

Rameez with 'Arahmann'

 

[velu]

misbah

 

[Asif321]

and Mard e Haq brings 50

 

[dhump]

must be told that he needs to score here, its vital

Its been ages since I have seen him scoring he use to be handy in 2010 in england.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Broad definitely is better than any pakistani fast bowler in current form.

 

[HumorMe]

commentator's hating on misbah's class innings. Must be jealous of the great man.

:d

 

[Justcrazy]

If can get 30 , I would be delighted.

 

[JibranAnsari]

2 overs to go.

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

Broad definitely is better than any pakistani fast bowler in current form.
