abdur rehman is a ghost. No impact.

 

[qamar84]

Last 10 ovs 25/0 RR 2.50

 

[chui_kadoo]

Might as well throw the ball to Younis Khan and see If he can do a trott

 

[Sledger]

Dived over the ball.

 

[James]

Big LOL at the misplaced arrogance after the first test.

[Amjid Javed]

Big LOL at the misplaced arrogance after the first test.

Lol at the arrogance england fans showed before the 1st test

 

[Asif321]

has a hairy leg ..

) wht else u expect :rameez

 

[saj001]

Big LOL at the misplaced arrogance after the first test.

Big LOL for finally coming out of closet and admitting your frustration after first test.

 

[Strike!]

Gul giving away easy singles.

 

[malakian]

Big LOL at the misplaced arrogance after the first test.

Yeah, some of the comments were hilarious. England didn't turn into a rubbish team overnight.

 

[James]

Who was arragont?

Loads of posters

Big LOL for finally coming out of closet and admitting your frustration after first test.

Buh? I've been here all along, as always

 

[ads101]

Who was arragont?

quite a few people expected we'd roll out England for under 250. And a few want england to bat first thinking they'd be skittled and we'd take a lead when we bat.

Kind of silly really. This pitch is a 400+ pitch. And England's got the best batting line up in the world.

Still reckon we can draw this. This pitch is still going to be relatively easy to bat on in the third innings, and if we can post a decent total, we'll draw it. England have unfortunately taken the win out of the equation though realistically.

 

[Sledger]

Nas got out? The man's legend just keeps growing.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Well i knew we got lucky with cook. Trott I thought Gul (on song ofcoarse) could nab him.

 

[James]

Only way we can lose is now is by playing poor strokes.

After the annihilation in India and then the first test here, nice to see England looking like a good team again.

 

[dhump]

Big LOL at the misplaced arrogance after the first test.

Just wait for few wickets and arrogance will be back all over again that's common issue and if not then see the team bashing in the evening.

 

[Sledger]

Rubbish ball - smashed it.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Loads of posters

Not really. Most posters knew that England will fight back hard and will be a very close contest. I expected England to come back strong and they have. If Pak's batting doesnt improve then I can see the series going either 1-1 or 2-1 England

 

[Sledger]

Trott cleaned up!

 

[Sledger]

Yesss.

That's what Pakistan were waiting for. Now to run through this team. KP against lao next in then Bell who can't pick Saeed.

England are still 0/2 and Pakistan can build the pressure.

 

[NeVerMind]

Rehman gets the breakthrough!!!!

 

[Paradox]

"Jonathon" ( ) Trott's gone, although he should have been gone ages ago in that plumb lbw appeal..

 

[cricfan4ever]

you beauty!!! jaffa to get Trott! here comes the collapse boys!!!

 

[Zeeraq]

, I should start dancing now.

 

[Asif321]

ramoooooooooo

 

[dhump]

and finally a wicket thanks to rehman.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

finally there is wicket

 

[ads101]

yay trott out

 

[malakian]

Nooooooooooooooo

 

[spoiled]

Oh Thank God

 

[Hassan0987]

Yes! Cleaned him up with a beauty.. Come on boys, take them all out

 

[Digital]

Couple wickets from here...

 

[chui_kadoo]

finally a breakthrough. Need another one quick time

 

[Asif321]

250 all out?

 

[Sledger]

Good jinx by Waqar btw.

Youngsta beauty and jungster working well together.

 

[Sledger]

And Saeed is on, here we go!

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen on strike.

 

[DW44]

The Ten Sports admin needs to be crucified, literally. Soon as the ball hit the stumps, they put on two of the most embarrassing ads in the history of advertising (that irritating 'gaano ka khazana kholo' Telenor ad and that wannabe 'the sound mayster' Audionic ad) before the bowler even started celebrating. And the 'sound mayster' strikes back. Twice in eight successive commercials.

 

[dhump]

250 all out?

ho gaye shuru.

 

[Sledger]

Massive stride first up, well played.

 

[JibranAnsari]

232/1 at stumps. My latest prediction.

Damn none of my predictions are proving correct

 

[Saurav]

brilliant delivery from

 

[Sledger]

Inside edged, did he pick that?

 

[Asif321]

comon boys

 

[dhump]

Damn none of my predictions are proving correct

Shukar hay yar ye wali pori nahi hue.

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen charging lol.

 

[malakian]

Pakistan have woke up now, plenty of chatter.

 

[dhump]

Pietersen charging lol.

Kafi janay kay mood main hay.

 

[Sledger]

167/2. We want Rehman Vs Pietersen.

 

[James]

Waqar's assessment of that Trott dismissal was completely wrong.

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen wants to stay off strike.

 

[DW44]

Willing to pay good money (six figure US dollar sum) for the identity of the guy who did the voice over for the Audionic (sound mayster) ad. *cocks glock*. Annoying wannabe ass clown.

 

[dhump]

Hafeez giving valuable tips out there.

 

[Sledger]

Waqar likes the defensive field to Cook.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Waqar's assessment of that Trott dismissal was completely wrong.

What did he say?

 

[Sledger]

Cook retains strike.

 

[dhump]

Willing to pay good money (six figure US dollar sum) for the identity of the guy who did the voice over for the Audionic (sound mayster) ad. *cocks glock*. Annoying wannabe ass clown.

six figure without (.) in middle then I am willing to quite my current job and get onto it sir at once.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

We need cook to go soon now cause that would bring new two batsmen at the crease. Come on Pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Cook's defense is examplary.

 

[Sledger]

Beauty from Ajmal.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We need cook to go soon now cause that would bring new two batsmen at the crease. Come on Pakistan

Let the poor man complete his 100 first.

 

[James]

Man out on the slog sweep for Cook v Ajmal

 

[Sledger]

Important ball here - dot plz.

 

[DW44]

six figure without . in middle then I am willing to quite my current job and get onto it sir at once.

You're on. Will go up to seven, possibly even eight figures if you can also find the Ten Sports advertising executive person(or whatever those parasites are called) who's responsible for putting that ad on twice, sometimes even three times in after every over.

 

[Sledger]

Short ball, goes for four. At least Pietersen will be on strike.

 

[Jawiz]

Junaid should come in at one end! Ajmal is tiring!

 

[James]

What did he say?

'That is arrogant batting'

 

[Sledger]

96ks, Pietersen late on that.

 

[JibranAnsari]

'That is arrogant batting'

Yah , totally wrong analysis. It was more of a lazy shot than anything , a lapse of concentration.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Pakistan have woke up now, plenty of chatter.

Well of course it was dull , cos at the rate it wasn't going anywhere now we see some new hope

 

[Sledger]

Beaten. )

 

[Sledger]

Don't look so scared Kevin, we've put Asif in a cage.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Come on manay get him.

 

[Sledger]

Hits a four, too short from Rehman.

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan really should fancy their chances of getting Bell in soon.

 

[malakian]

Shot!

At least if KP does manage to stay in, the scoring rate should increase.
