Well, as the great Richie Benaud once said "Whatever they've got, it's not catching."
 
It's amazing how many let offs we've given England. We could have bowled them out twice by now with all the missed reviews and dropped chances. Don't think this will end well.
 
The technique of taking tht catch was wrong ...
front part of hands facing sky doesnt suit pakistani players
 
I just can't get over that drop. I was abt to jump and celebrate and then .....
 
Junaid fielding like Razzaq - gives another extra run.
 
feel sorry for Junaid though, finally gets a game, and has only gets to bowl 6 overs in 90 overs that we have bowled..

You're still wrong. You said that umpire has cost you the game, because that was plumb. You were wrong, and therefore your rebuttal was useless.
 
Here's the thing that makes life so interesting: The Theory of Evolution claims that "only the strong shall survive." Maybe so, maybe so. But the Theory of Competition says "just because they're the strong doesn't mean they can't get their a$$e$ kicked." That's right. See, what every long-shot, come-from-behind underdog will tell you is this: The other guy may in fact be the favorite; the odds may be stacked against you. Fair enough ... But what the odds don't know is this isn't a math test. This is a completely different kind of test. One where passion has a funny way of trumping logic. So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts ticking, just remember: out here, the results don't always add up. No matter what the stats may say and the experts may think and the commentators may have predicted, when the race is on, all bets are off. Don't be surprised if someone decides to flip the script and take a pass on yelling "uncle". And then suddenly, as the old saying goes, "We got ourselves a game."
 
The dangerous Prior is :out

Luckily for PAK Junaid's drop wasn't so costly after all. Similarly, lucky for Flower XI that Strauss's drop off Adnan wasn't too costly either... :kami
 
Good chance for Pakistan to squeeze out a tight lead if they can run through the tail quickly here. No need to take the new ball.

I said I didn't see anything on the bat when my stream went off. I did acknowledge that it may have hit the bat. Anyhow what about that one? Looked plumb just sayin.
 
PRIOR english condition batting style will cost him a lot here

dont play saeed ajmal on back foot .. learn from your mistake
 
Well, I think Pak has almost lost this match. On day one I thought this match 'll depend on how the Pak fielders hold on to the catches. Bowlers made the chances (ironically on sweep) & fielders blew it. The problem of dropping players like Prior is that they keep scoring quickly, regardless of the wicket. I think Eng 'll take a sizable lead now.

Still trying to figure out what MHK has added to this team - well set players are throwing wickets after scoring 20s & 30s, fielders are dropping dollies, batsmen are getting run-outs with bat on wrong hand or both players at one end, Captain & keeper is wasting UDRS within the first session of fielding & tailenders are coming & going like baseball batters.
