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

[Ruri]

His length seems to be creating some awkward but decent shots. Needs to take the ball away a bit more if he's going to do that.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

adnan did not take long to start

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Come one Pakistan get a break through

 

[Desi]

nice shot

 

[Ruri]

Wonderful pull shot.

 

[Zeeraq]

four

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Why would you bowl short at this pitch, haven't you learnt from England attack when they were bowling short nothing was happening

 

[Amjid Javed]

eng 5/0

not a single decent ball from our seamers so far.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

:4

 

[Ruri]

eng 5/0

not a single decent ball from our seamers so far.

You're a harsh critic. I've counted two good balls. The rest haven't been bad.

 

[Amjid Javed]

poor ball and swatted away for 4.

9/0

 

[ninjafirstslip]

eng 5/0

not a single decent ball from our seamers so far.

they never strike in the first 3 or 4 overs anyway. Be positive.

 

[Digital]

Time to bring

 

[Zeeraq]

7 runs given in this over.

 

[ScotRaz]

Enough of the fast bowlers, bring on the spinners

 

[ninjafirstslip]

marsh out again...

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

salam everyone

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another average over from gul.

10/0

hes either bowled on the pads or two wide of the off-stump.

 

[Desi]

good fielding

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch looks flat .... not much happening here ....

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

why do our local uae crowd bring teddy bear ?

 

[Jawiz]

Phenti time! Englands going to be all over us! I think at this pitch they will make 500 + and declare ... Trott Strauss and Cook are just too good batsmen..


JIIINXXXX!!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

junaid looking very unthreathening as well, need to pitch ball up ffs!

 

[Areesh]

Come on boys. Do something.

 

[Ruri]

The pitch looks flat .... not much happening here ....

When Rehman and Hafeez show up, let alone Ajmal, England will make it a minefield... Or likely worse.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

why do our local uae crowd bring teddy bear ?

To increase the number of supporters come on boy :ahmed

 

[Ruri]

Phenti time! Englands going to be all over us! I think at this pitch they will make 500 + and declare ... Trott Strauss and Cook are just too good batsmen..


JIIINXXXX!!!!

But Strauss is a terrible batsmen of late!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to make things happen here...... broad bowled beautifully.

 

[ScotRaz]

When Rehman and Hafeez show up, let alone Ajmal, England will make it a minefield... Or likely worse.

God willing!

 

[Amjid Javed]

The pitch looks flat .... not much happening here ....

Pitch loosk decent, junaid looks like a trundler and gul had just bowled poor lines so far.

 

[Desi]

don't think there will be that much spin, we'll see though. hope i'm wrong. it's going to be a long day for pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan fast bowlers need to get wickets..... what are the playing for???

They even cannot add any runs .... Pathetic.

 

[Desi]

Pitch loosk decent, junaid looks like a trundler and gul had just bowled poor lines so far.

exaggerating. junaid has rushed the batsman several times and is getting some movement as well. gul hasn't been awful

 

[kasoo10]

I am scared, Eng making a very caucious start

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would need some stupid and rash shots by England batters here.

 

[Ruri]

Lol, Cook trying to get out

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Dropped?

 

[Justcrazy]

Looks like Pakistan dream run is over....... time for a rude shock

 

[Desi]

140! about time

 

[Amjid Javed]

finally 1st play and miss! even then guls length was a little to short.

 

[Justcrazy]

may get a ball soon

 

[Amjid Javed]

dropped? no leg byes!

 

[Justcrazy]

need to get a couple of yorkers in...... he hardly bowls any these days.

 

[Ruri]

finally 1st play and miss! even then guls length was a little to short.

Feel like they're trying to score off the pacers so there is less pressure to score against the spinners.

 

[Ruri]

Terrible ball by Gul. Filthy.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

I hope gull find his song soon or just let the spinners to start the show.

 

[Justcrazy]

I am off for now........ hope that when i return there would be a collapse

 

[Desi]

jesus gul. is he trying to get another fluke wicket like all of his wickets last match or what?

 

[Looney]

camels )

 

[ScotRaz]

camel )

 

[PakPosheeda]

Given byes when it should've been wides. Gul sucks and is boring to watch now.

 

[Desi]

need to get a couple of yorkers in...... he hardly bowls any these days.

hardly bowls them?

hardly = he rarely bowls them.
fact is he never bowls them.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Hafeez in. About time.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Gul has lost it... pressure getting to him as usual

 

[James]

But Strauss is a terrible batsmen of late!

not looked a player resembling a world-class batsman since the 2009 Ashes except for the two great innings, one at Brisbane and one at the World Cup. not much of a return for three years though...

he's average.

 

[Desi]

i would have taken off gul, junaid looks more capable of picking up a wicket

 

[LethalSami]

why do our local uae crowd bring teddy bear ?

i know......teddy bears and ballons

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Professor is on

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another rubbish over from gul, wasting the new ball here! keeps bowling on batsmens pads ffs!

 

[James]

I hate it when they do those quickfire replays of wickets, makes me cack it

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Long day for Pakistan.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez on now.

 

[Desi]

hafeez more threatening than either seamer in his one over

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

so already problems with professor

 

[Amjid Javed]

how did that miss the stumps?

 

[ScotRaz]

Hafeez got cook in a spin

 

[PakPosheeda]

Loving how Hafeez is torturing Cook.)

 

[Desi]

keep doing those cross batted shots please!!!!

me like

 

[Ruri]

Dear god Cook was terrible that over.

 

[Looney]

That whole over is pwnage

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

AJMAL is in!!!

 

[James]

Cook

 

[Desi]

we should just play 3 spinners + hafeez

our seam bowling has never been this poor in the history of pakistan. looks like a pakistan B seam attack tbh

 

[PakPosheeda]

Lol Gul was getting ready to bowl when Misbah snatched the ball from him and gave it to Ajmal.

 

[Amjid Javed]

brilliant over from hafeez, cook looked clueless there!

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

So if the professor is alarming here, isn't its about time we bring the magican ajmal iin as well. Seems like my prayer have been heard as I type

 

[Zeeraq]

Saeed Ajmal comes into attack.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

So if the professor is alarming here, isn't its about time we bring the magican ajmal iin as well. Seems like my prayer have been heard as I type

Misbah reads minds.

 

[Looney]

Lol Gul was getting ready to bowl when Misbah snatched the ball from him and gave it to Ajmal.

haha yeah

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Yes bowl wicket to wicket let them make the mistake.
