[ScotRaz]

Hehe I wonder what bob will say after Atherton does his bit on how to bat against ajmal

 

[WalkingWiggett]

PAK batting first. Only second time has done this on winning the Toss.

Will be interesting to see Monty Python wheeling away. Goober out with injury of course.

 

[Maher96]

Lets go boys. Jk in for cheema. Would hav me likes t see UA too but no worries now.

Bumble thinks the rough created by junaid khan will help swann

 

[hazen_batti]

I hope Hafeez and Taufiq negotiate the New Ball. bring it on

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

I hope we click , it looks like tricky morning to me. Lets tuk tuk them out of the game. Bring it on boys.

 

[cricfan4ever]

[Zeeraq]

Misbah-ul-Haq decides to bat first, Now that's a surprise.

 

[WalkingWiggett]

I hope Hafeez and Taufiq negotiate the New Ball. bring it on

They managed it last time.

 

[Looney]

Jonathan Liew, of The Telegraph, tweets: "Trott's our third seamer??" Scary, but true.

He said it's a different deck. No grass, presumably: I believe (but don't know with absolute certainty) that the mere sight of a couple of tufts on the wicket entices MBA to insert. Can't really fault him: it's worked well enough!

Salam from WLFC

Rice cooked, beef with aalu salan and Methi ready to be eaten.

With coke thanks to Allah.

[badmash_420]

People still walking in I believe

but i'd say its better than the last test match

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

How'z the crowd folks?

well less than 100 that includes WAGS

 

[ScotRaz]

Just saw the batting line up, should ajmal not bat above gul?

 

[WalkingWiggett]

How'z the crowd folks?

There's a huge crowd of blue seats!

 

[Shahzebayub]

Maiden from broad

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

There's a huge crowd of blue seats!

[Sledger]

5/0 in two. What a shot that was by Taufeeq.

 

[ragincajun]

Amir Sohail: meijured approach

 

[ragincajun]

3 slips in place for the fast bowlers

 

[LethalSami]

One man and his dog in the ground again...

 

[Sledger]

Bad ball, four more.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

[ragincajun]

[talha3]

Must say, Taufeeq leaves the ball exceptionally well.

Jimmy a bit zippy this morning: 136 kph (usually it's closer to 130)

 

[Inziquicksingle]

Amir Sohail: meijured approach

cringeeeeeee

 

[iZeeshan]

Hoping Hafeez goes big today and doesn;t have any brainfarts

 

[spoiled]

Amir saying "Sir Ian"

I dont like calling botham Sir and when its Amir saying it, thats just illegal

 

[ragincajun]

it will be interesting to see how Pak plays Monty, considering we are not the best against left arm spin

 

[IAJ]

Sohail and Botham together, not happening much there.

 

[MVP26]

Boring commentary.

 

[Sledger]

Excellent leave.

 

[Shahzebayub]

Chacha cricket

 

[ragincajun]

chacha cricket in full flow

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Boring commentary.

tune to other side I'm sure aussies will keep entertaining you

 

[Sledger]

No ball from Broad.

 

[Ruri]

Anderson is nippy today. Faster than Broad. That's weird.

 

[Ruri]

No ball from Broad.

How many pounds was he paid for that?

 

[sarmadsl]

Broad slow today

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Broad slow today

[HumorMe]

As annoying as Rameez raja is most of the time, he still manages to unleash some entertainment that leads to unavoidable laughter. Remember the odi game against Bangladesh when he was explaining the word 'lala' n y afridi is called lala by team mates? Lolol that was hilarious...he was like when the team mates shout 'lala' they r not singing--la la la--they r referring to afridi. Lolol, really Rameez?

 

[Sledger]

Great timing by the Prof.

 

[Zeeraq]

 

[hazen_batti]

Today taufeeq is playing as hafeez and hafeez as taufeeq. Mind games uhh
