[saj001]

This was as plumb as they get.

 

[talha3]

What's all the fuss about? Swann is TAUFEEQ'S bunny. Wristy flick for one.

We almost spoke to soon.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

not reviewing it ... let see h0w was it after the advert

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Loud Appeal, Not given, No Review called!

 

[JibranAnsari]

That was out.

 

[Sledger]

No review taken.

 

[adnan yasin]

they might have thought it hit him bit high . but hit him on the back pad

 

[talha3]

Interesting to see what hawkeye makes of it. IMO it would have been just clipping, umpires call

 

[Maher96]

Taufeeq clearly triubled by offspin at least.

 

[Fawad2010]

I thought he was a goner!

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Rameez was very sure that Taufeeq was gone..

 

[pak4life]

that could easily have been given.

 

[talha3]

Interesting to see what hawkeye makes of it. IMO it would have been just clipping, umpires call

Yep.

 

[osee_bhai]

Looked plumb..thinking about it, it might be high.

 

[Maher96]

Umpires call. Good in not reviewing.

 

[HumorMe]

assalam alaikum bhaiyo. ...

And sisters.....wa'alaikum asslam. Lololol @ yr screen name n venue

 

[Sledger]

How is that umpire's call? LOL.

 

[adnan yasin]

Hafeez should be ready for arm ball

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Hitting the stumps, umpires called.. so pretty much an okay decision from Pakistan's POV.

 

[Fawad2010]

lucky for us, nonetheless

 

[Maher96]

Haha straussy getting happy not t take review.

 

[Usman Chadda]

How the heck is that umpire's call?! Its demolishing the leg-stump

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

awesome shot late cut by professor

 

[Maher96]

Aonther 4 for the professor.

 

[MVP26]

:4

 

[Sledger]

ODI shot by Hafeez. Another four. 50 partnership between these two.

 

[talha3]

How is that umpire's call? LOL.

Less than half of the ball hitting the stumps. That's the law.

But I take your point, law needs to be changed to make umpires call for only say 1/3 hitting the stumps.

 

[adnan yasin]

fantastic late cut

to hafeez

50 !!

 

[Shahzebayub]

Good batting and four to hafeez pak 51

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Late cut for 4 to Prof.. 50 UP for Pakistan!

 

[JibranAnsari]

50 raised lian:

 

[Usman Chadda]

50 up. Great start

 

[iemjaved]

 

[Sledger]

Azhar in next, worried about him on here.

 

[Maher96]

50 partnership. Good solid opening pair continue good form.

 

[talha3]

Another 50 partnership. Top stuff.

 

[Zeeraq]

50 runs Partnership up.

 

[adnan yasin]

oooh ... good delivery by swan

 

[Fawad2010]

10th fifty plus partnership in 30 innings these two have played together.

 

[Sohaib011]

This was as plumb as they get.

get a dictionary and look at what plumb actually means

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Good one from Swann..

 

[talha3]

Taufeeq gone

 

[osee_bhai]

Delectable cut by Hafeez for 4

 

[Maher96]

Taufeeq should give it a whack. As i write this he is out.

 

[adnan yasin]

Azhar in next, worried about him on here.

me 2 and here he comes

 

[Sledger]

Bowled. )

 

[Zeeraq]

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

that was stupid thingy by taufeeq

 

[pak4life]

lol was a matter of time

 

[Fawad2010]

what the hell was that!@!

 

[Shahzebayub]

Bowled

 

[Sledger]

Well left Taufeeq.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Damn ,it is turning a lot.

 

[Saurav]

ten cricket slower than cricinfo

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

WTH Taufeeq!!!!!!!! Gone, Bowled by Swann..

 

[talha3]

Just wait till our spinners bowl on this pitch...

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Bowled 'im!

 

[Strike!]

What a dismissal.

 

[Looney]

As soon as i start watching this match , goes

 

[adnan yasin]

Taufeeq

didnt read the arm ball

Bowled

thats shameful

 

[Usman Chadda]

Taufeeq is horrible against spin wow. Totally misread that delivery lol

 

[Sledger]

Here comes the Wall.

 

[smoothcriminal]

Poor defence from Taufeeq. Extremely uncomfortable against the spinner.

 

[Digital]

He's vulnerable against spin

 

[Maher96]

Azhar in next.

 

[MVP26]

taufiq

 

[ragincajun]

what a terrible leave by TU

 

[Saurav]

left a straight ball

 

[osee_bhai]

Total arm ball, didn't spin at all.

 

[Love Pakistan]

) Well well well! Why would you leave it Taufeeq?

 

[JibranAnsari]

How could you leave this beautiful delivery though but unnecessary leave cost us a wicket.

 

[Paradox]

lol, Taufeeq vs spin is like Hafeez vs Devon Smith.

 

[DW44]

iDone would have a field day with England on this track judging by the amount of spin Monty Panesar of 'The Monty Panesar problem' (how to turn a cricket ball) fame is getting less than twenty overs into day one.

 

[Fawad2010]

Here to hoping that YK and MBA will bore the spinners to DEATH!

 

[Digital]

ten cricket slower than cricinfo

Same here !

 

[ragincajun]

Pak has gifted 1 wicket away

 

[Sledger]

Big test for Azhar on here.

 

[Areesh]

Out .

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Taufeeg out.. Oh Well he looked troubled anyways

 

[JibranAnsari]

Tough test for azhar against spin , he isn't good either against spin.
