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

[James]

LOL why did they not review that. Dead.

 

[malakian]

why, England are firmly in control of this test. You should be happy. If the scores were reversed I'd be.

Ruri is clearly in 90's mode.

 

[Sledger]

he was excited before actually

"WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT?"

He said that after the replay was showed.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan became too complacent here

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Gul is just releasing pressure

 

[Desi]

take gul off, he's just atrocious

 

[Ruri]

why, England are firmly in control of this test. You should be happy. If the scores were reversed I'd be.

Maybe because your team plays spin, and we don't?

 

[Desi]

He said that after the replay was showed.

oh thought you meant the hawkeye

 

[Sledger]

Great over by Ajmal, created a lot of problems. Time for spin all day.

 

[Pak_Power]

what a miss by Pakistan.

now they will review one wrongly to compensate that

 

[ninjafirstslip]

ajmal decided against it not misbahs fault if the bowler thinks not out.

 

[James]

Shot.

Gul is atrocious. A seriously jammy four wicket haul in the first test didn't change that.

 

[Desi]

what a miss by Pakistan.

now they will review one wrongly to compensate that

haha yep

 

[Sledger]

Gul still bowling. Four.

 

[malakian]

Great over by Ajmal, created a lot of problems. Time for spin all day.

Yeah, needs to bowl all day, looks miles more threatening than the other Pak bowlers.

 

[Ruri]

Going to bed after Gul's over, don't want to witness the collapse.

 

[James]

Maybe because your team plays spin, and we don't?

LOL Pakistan arguably play spin even worse than us.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

gul getting pulverized

 

[Sledger]

50 partnership.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[JibranAnsari]

Maybe because your team plays spin, and we don't?

Demons of yesterday are no more in the pitch, its going to be an easy 400 march or even more.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

LOL why did they not review that. Dead.

Ajmal's fault. Misbah asked him & Ajmal said not out.

 

[OZGOD]

Even at this early stage I'd say that Pakistan are in some strife.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

so up the chutney now. thick chutney

 

[James]

Going to bed after Gul's over, don't want to witness the collapse.

Your posts make me sad.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Umpires are taking a nap thanks to USRS.

And for the billionth time, Gul sucks. Why is he bowling?

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Yeah, needs to bowl all day, looks miles more threatening than the other Pak bowlers.

Ajmal & Hafeez.

 

[spoiled]

please end this gul torture

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gul has been rubbish all Inns.

No pressure being applied here by pakistan. England are tightening grip on game and very quickly. Unless Ajmal rips through england at other end we will be batting in 3rd inns to save the game!

 

[Sledger]

Gul coming around the wicket.

 

[Desi]

Even at this early stage I'd say that Pakistan are in some strife.

this is obvious lol.


"gul seems a little off color" says rameez

when is gul on color? hopefully he doesn't get 4 lucky wickets in the 2nd innings and stay for the 3rd match

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need England batsman to play some rash shots here.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Pak is again a victim of poor umpiring

 

[Areesh]

Ufff. This is going away from Pakistan thanks to Pakistan's pathetic batting.

 

[cricfan4ever]

just terrible not to review what looked like plumb to me...umpire was sleeping too!

 

[Ruri]

Your posts make me sad.

Don't worry, I'll be cocky when/if we show that we can bat.


LBW not given, edged balls, etc. etc. Looking dangerous

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Gul has been rubbish all Inns.

No pressure being applied here by pakistan. England are tightening grip on game and very quickly. Unless Ajmal rips through england at other end we will be batting in 3rd inns to save the game!

pretty much guaranteed. Toothless stuff from him.

 

[Areesh]

gul ko hatao yaar. issed:

 

[Desi]

Going to bed after Gul's over, don't want to witness the collapse.

am i watching a different match than you?

 

[Sledger]

Over bowled. 78/1.

No more Gul for now plz.

 

[Ruri]

Pak is again a victim of poor umpiring

Thing called DRS....

 

[ninjafirstslip]

should designate a fielder to judge whether to go for a review.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Gul needs to retire from tests asap

 

[Justcrazy]

do something man

 

[greekscavenger]

I'm with Ruri here. I'm actually getting nervous after every ball because I get the feeling our batsman are gonna get out at any time :/

 

[Justcrazy]

I have a feeling a collapse is very near

 

[Desi]

more sweeps, i wanna see some more sweeps

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Yar these English posters are anti-jinxing Ajmal

 

[Ruri]

I'm with Ruri here. I'm actually getting nervous after every ball because I get the feeling our batsman are gonna get out at any time :/

They don't look in, is my problem. Against India and Australia, you could feel they went on autopilot, any wicket was against the run of play... Not so against the spinners today.

 

[Sledger]

82/1.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

chutney people, chutney!

 

[James]

Beefy wants Gul to have at least two more

Wonder why.

 

[Justcrazy]

One wicket and the slide will start.........

 

[Sledger]

Junaid to bowl now. Only two overs so far..

 

[Ruri]

I realized I have to finish some reading... ugh up anyways then.

 

[Vegitto1]

England's match to lose. Pakistan cannot win this (You read it here first)

 

[Amjid Javed]

Has Gul even bowled one decent delivery today? utter tripe!

 

[Desi]

unlucky

 

[OZGOD]

for Trotty

 

[ninjafirstslip]

hmmm... well maybe the angle will upset them.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowling will die a natural death here........

 

[Desi]

junaid looks a LOT better than gul

 

[Sledger]

That swung! Edged by Trott for four.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Sledger]

Time for Junaid to come around the wicket, a bit of reverse.

 

[Ruri]

James Anderson has more sixes than Trott!

 

[Justcrazy]

Trott is boring to the core but a very effective player.

 

[Hassan0987]

Doesn't look good for Pakistan this, badly need some wickets

 

[Sledger]

Beats him with a swinger. Come around the wicket and hold one up plz.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

good over by junaid.

 

[Robert]

I think England's strategy will be to keep out Ajmal while milking the lesser bowlers.

 

[Desi]

good over despite that 4

need to get pressure from both sides if a wicket is going to fall

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will have to play out of skins in second innings to save this game.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

So frustrating should have been into bell etc now

 

[PakPosheeda]

Trott is officially the most boring batsman in the history now that he's scored most test runs without a six.

 

[Sledger]

Decent over there. 86/1.

 

[Fawad2010]

Partnership is 60, looks very threatening, need wickets very soon!!!

 

[Vegitto1]

good over - almost got an edge in that over

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Trott is officially the most boring batsman in the history now that he's scored most test runs without a six.

Wish we had someone like that

 

[Hassan0987]

Four.. short and wide
