Pakistan v England | 2nd Test | Abu Dhabi | Jan 26th, 2012 | Day 2

[Fawad2010]

Play is 20 min away!

PAK will start at 256/7

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Excited to see Junaid Khan bowl today!

 

[siccric]

Excited to see Junaid Khan bowl today!

He probably won't need to

 

[ninjafirstslip]

He probably won't need to

The brigadier will save us inshallah.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

He probably won't need to

The real question my friend is:

Will Saeed Ajmal get his maiden ton?

 

[Zeeraq]

We'll see another 150+ last wicket partnership .

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

under 7 minutes for the day to start

 

[hazen_batti]

shuru karo. Ab aur intizar nahi hota

 

[ninjafirstslip]

I keep thinking misbah is aragon....

 

[OZGOD]

Misbah is as indomitable as Mount Everest.

 

[hazen_batti]

I keep thinking misbah is aragon....

who is frodo???

 

[Justcrazy]

5 more mins left

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Inshallah Misbah will take us to 300

 

[Justcrazy]

single first ball.

 

[Ruri]

Jerusalem in the background.

 

[Justcrazy]

exposed early in the over.

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan needs to score 300 here.

 

[hazen_batti]

Misbah exposing the ajmal to 2nd ball of the day.

 

[Ruri]

Ajmal looked uncomfortable in that over, but he's a tailender, so no worries. Nothing too bothersome by Anderson, but decent deliveries. Pakistan set for 500+

 

[Zeeraq]

Ajmal survives.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

i dont care what people think anderson is not that bad.

 

[Justcrazy]

Broad in here.........

 

[dukki_badshah]

saeed ajmal is a proper batsman..me thinks

 

[Ruri]

Oh Broady has been so good these two balls.

 

[Ruri]

BROAD! YOU BEAUTY!

Review though. Umpire's call?

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Review

 

[Zeeraq]

out?

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

seems like he is gone

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

 

[Zeeraq]

Oh no its out.

 

[Ruri]

PLUMB! Good ball by Broad. HUGE wicket.

 

[Desi]

****

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Damn. Misbah gone

 

[ninjafirstslip]

nooooooooo.

 

[Fawad2010]

Oh @#$%

Get to 275 at least!

 

[iZeeshan]

And Misbah gone. There goes 300.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

so now we want ajmal to consider himself front batsmen & attack. See how long he lives.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

well 258 all out

 

[Areesh]

So much for the 300 mark.

 

[Maher96]

New target t 270 now.

 

[Ruri]

Broad has really impressed me this tour. I was expecting another wayward series because of his habit of coming good, and then going back to average, and then coming good when he's about to be dropped. He's been on the ball this entire series, even the tour match.

 

[saeedhk]

That seemed like a no-ball

 

[Areesh]

well 258 all out

It's 257 right now. I hope we can go beyond that. May be 260 all out.

 

[Maher96]

Gully first ball goes past hos outsde egde.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

I will be surprised if gul goes past double figures

 

[Maher96]

Ohhhh. Gulla wack out the ground.

 

[Digital]

At lease 275 ???

 

[Maher96]

Every run us precious.

 

[Desi]

might as well go for it, don't think they can survive long if they intend to just survive. play some shots and try to spread the field

 

[Maher96]

Ajmal gone. New target 260.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

another gone

 

[Zeeraq]

Ajmal out

 

[Ruri]

Lol, Anderson gets the consolation wicket.

 

[Desi]

god

 

[spoiled]

Oh man no run added this morning

this is all going reverse

 

[Desi]

new target 259

 

[Fawad2010]

Had our RR been 3.5, at this point we'd be sitting on 338

 

[Amjid Javed]

No chance for pakistan to get 300 now. Gul and Ajmal just need to try and score as many as they can. Pakistans bowlers need to bail team out after this poor batting effort.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ajmal gone plumb as well.

pakistan 9 down now!

 

[Fawad2010]

its ok, guys, it could be a lot worse.

Bowlers need to bail us out yet again.

 

[Areesh]

Oh man no run added this morning

this is all going reverse

Nah 1 run was added by Misbah.

 

[hazen_batti]

I think 257 is par score

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Sorry guys I jinxed Ajmal - said would get his maiden ton =[ got 0

 

[Amjid Javed]

If your not going to play straight on this wicket you will struggle!

 

[Sohaib011]

come out come out fan boys

 

[ninjafirstslip]

well that went up the creek .

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

catch

 

[Zeeraq]

out

 

[Maher96]

Pathetic. All out fr 257 hu ever predicted that don't come back t this thread.

 

[Ruri]

Guys, there's an England v. S. Africa match just like this. We ended up barely drawing after falling quickly to Steyn when we batted.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

*****

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

that was quick

 

[Desi]

new target 259

FAIL

that was sarcastic new target, didn't you get the tail get the memo?

 

[spoiled]

People tides have turned

NOT ONE RUN ADDED

momentum is with England

Pakistani bowlers have to do something very special

 

[Fawad2010]

) we added 1 run to our overnight total!

 

[Maher96]

0 runs from tail. Now they better bowl them out.

 

[Ruri]

Guys, there's an England v. S. Africa match just like this. We ended up barely drawing after falling quickly to Steyn when we batted.

IF the same script is followed, we'll end up collapsing to Junaid Khan....

 

[Digital]

Damn 3 wickets for just 1 run !!!

 

[DonJee]

4 ducks from the tail....surely the worst tail IN THE WORLD???

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Well there goes the plan to get 300

Still 257 might not be too bad, let's see how England bat
