Pakistan v England | 2nd Test | Abu Dhabi | Jan 27th, 2012 | Day 3

[Love Pakistan]

:/

 

[Justcrazy]

This is pathetic fielding by Pakistan..... England will be delighetd with the lead.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

if this match does not make it clear that we need new pacers I am not sure what will.

 

[in_cutter]

Eng are well in control- will not be surprised if Pak collapse.

 

[intothevoid]

Need to wrap it up very quick after lunch and then have a solid opening stand, if we can get to parity with 1 down, then the match will be back in the balance

 

[Sledger]

Chillax people. Pakistan got this.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

If we can restrict England under 100 we are still in within a chance. It will only take 2 or less partnerships to take that lead down and it will be even stevens again. And dont forget England will have to bat lastt on this pitch prolly late on day four or day 5 !

 

[Zeeraq]

The chances of winning this match is really low now.

 

[Justcrazy]

No way Pakistan can win this match, they will collappse.

Why, do you have super powers? how do you know what will happen? What happened against SA. We were out the game, but we ended up being 350-2

 

[Zamee]

The only way to win this match is to bat like a non minnow team.

 

[saj001]

Too many wrist slitters on PP.

 

[Justcrazy]

England will make it 1 - 1 here.

 

[hur rizvi]

England are on top lead of 100 on this kind of wicket is way too big for pakistan.....

 

[ss3samzy]

England will make it 1 - 1 here.

[OZGOD]

The chances of winning this match is really low now.

Still got a good chance. But you have to wrap up these last couple of wickets. If you are unable to take Bambi's wicket then get him off strike and get the tailenders. If you can keep the lead to below 80 you can bat most of today and tomorrow and put a decent lead up. Might be tough for England batting last on this pitch.

Do not live in past , move on, and face reality. Pakistan bating is struggling , the maximum that can be done is just to draw some how, and for that 2 batsman have to hit hundreds. Bat out at least 5 sessions.

Not Fake but practical fan

 

[Romali_rotti]

SO first win was a fluke huh ??

Batting most of today and tomorrow is impossible on this kind of pitch.....

chances of winning England 90% Pakistan 5% and Draw 5%

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

England have the advantage BUT I still believe we can win this, just need a couple of big knocks

 

[ninjafirstslip]

o my god i think im going to have a total emo rage fit.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

SO first win was a fluke huh ??

How can comprehensively beating England be a fluke?

This match is not over and even if we were to lose I think we will have ran England close

 

[PakPosheeda]

Bad bowling. Bad fielding by Gul.

 

[hur rizvi]

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

professor does the trick

 

[saj001]

Come on take another one now!

 

[Looney]

9 down

 

[PakPosheeda]

There you go. As soon as he bowls good length and not his stupid yorker he gets a wicket.

 

[cricfan4ever]

about time got rid of anderson, now please finish this off!!!

 

[Blade]

I'd be comfortable with a lead of 80, I reckon our opening pair can clean that up

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Gul you make me wanna cry. No homo.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Come on guys one more wicket. We can do this!

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ wrist slitters.

 

[Looney]

i would be so mad if panesar makes more than 8

 

[Sledger]

Panesar out lbw.

 

[saj001]

So 70 runs lead.

 

[insaftak]

Gullie bahi zara haat khol lo :adnan )

 

[Looney]

327 all out awesome

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

awesome professor get the job done for Pakistan

 

[Azlan Khan]

England 327 All Out!

 

[Ruri]

Lol Panesar. Told you.

 

[insaftak]

Good stuff professor

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hafeez!!!

 

[Strike!]

Finally.

 

[Sledger]

70 lead - 20 more than the ideal but I'll take it. Time to rack up the runs.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Perfect beginning for the session ! lead only 70

 

[ninjafirstslip]

LOL @ wrist slitters.

feel my emotion. feel it. Like a man standing too close to you on the train.

 

[Azlan Khan]

England Lead By 70.

 

[osee_bhai]

Nicely done professor, now we need some runs, i think if we set england 230, we have the advantage. So we need 300 at the very least.

 

[cricfan4ever]

finally!!!

time for , and to raise their game!

 

[TheHK16]

if we can replicate our first innings score i think we will win

 

[PakPosheeda]

Thats the length Hafeez should always bowl to lefties. Not stupid yorkers.

 

[Ruri]

Interestingly, Anderson has more runs than Strauss, KP and Bell in the series. And only 1 less than Morgan.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hafeez please play well. Please, please, please don't throw your wicket away.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

LOL @ wrist slitters.

They really are a funny bunch

Been on PP many years now and the wrist sitters have always been here, don't understand why they even bother watching/following if they are so pessimistic

 

[Blade]

The Prof got tired of our crap attack and decided to clean the trash himself

 

[Saurav]

Monty gets a howler.DRS harsh on tailenders

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to wipe out this lead with out losing a wicket!

we need to score 300 in 2nd inns so then we have 230 to defend in last inns on a weaing pitch!

 

[kkmix]

We got this in the bag now ... We aren't getting out for less than 300 this time.

 

[Uzi]

A 70 run lead is very handy here. A bit more than I would have liked. Now it's time for our batsmen to stand up and be counted. Ideally erase the lead with the loss of one wicket max.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Someone in pakistans top 6 needs to stand up and score a big 100!

 

[DW44]

Still got a good chance. But you have to wrap up these last couple of wickets. If you are unable to take Bambi's wicket then get him off strike and get the tailenders. If you can keep the lead to below 80 you can bat most of today and tomorrow and put a decent lead up. Might be tough for England batting last on this pitch.

Lol, there you go.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Well done Hafeez

Now hopefully we can give England a competitive target, reckon something around the 220 mark might be enough

 

[OZGOD]

Pakistani openers need to dig in now. Follow Cook's example.

 

[Sharingan]

no early wickets pls

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Pak need to score the same runs England scored in first inning

 

[Saurav]

Pak need to get 300 to win

 

[ninjafirstslip]

no sweep across the line hafeez.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

From 192/2 its not a bad comeback.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Well our batsmen got to show better character this innings.
Good luck

 

[malakian]

Meh, Broad could have taken away the match if the tail had managed to stick around a bit longer, what a player! Many thanks to the Dubai taxi driver for winding him up.

 

[Sharingan]

malakian, is that really a picture of yourself?

 

[liaqat]

did pak drop catches 2day?

can't believe what braod n swan n anderson have done ,,
compared to what rehman, ajmal, junaid n gul did,

total contrast,, braod's 50 has made the game in theire favor

 

[Sledger]

This is day 3, tailenders even looked okish. Time to pile on 500 imho.

 

[Sharingan]

god these ads on ptv are horrible. i really need a better link to this match

 

[bluffmasterv2]

This is day 3, tailenders even looked okish. Time to pile on 500 imho.

+1

Lets do this boys

 

[JibranAnsari]

+1 , that taxi driver better keep away from the fellow pakistanis

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan under pressure After a long time in tests , probably after more than a year.
