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

[Desi]

Why not bring on one of the pacers?

because we don't want to hand england the match

 

[Maher96]

May be time for azhar ali now. In certain hell bamboozle broad bell n co.

 

[Ruri]

broad is 6 foot 8 really?

6' 6" I think. Or something near there. Finn and Tremlett are taller? At 6'7 and 6'8.

 

[Ace Base]

Pakistan's only hope: keep England's lead to 50 or under. Then try and get to at least 300 over six sessions. Anything less than that and its 1-1 for the series.

 

[Areesh]

wicket kiyun nahi laita.

 

[Solid Snake]

Every time rehman flights the ball he bowls beautifully, he stops looking threatening when he just darts it in though.

 

[Sledger]

Just need Saeed to land that doosra here.

 

[saj001]

Look at barbie going all pink, he really is pumped up.

 

[Easa]

Maybe give Gul and Junaid a chance to redeem themselves and take the new ball?

Spinners will also get bounce with a harder ball.

 

[adnan yasin]

as expected broady brandy is aggressive

 

[Ruri]

Lol, what a shot by Broad. Our batsmen should learn from him.

 

[insaftak]

Broad giving Phainta to ajmal

 

[Sledger]

Hacked over leg for four! Broad doing well.

 

[Poison]

Our late collapse could be crucial here, if we scraped 300 it would've been Pakistan's match right now.

 

[Areesh]

Another .

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Barbie is more dangerous than bell.

 

[Maher96]

Broady in sum firework mood. Pakistan thinking too much about lead. May be junaid khan should have a go now.

 

[Sledger]

Broad should bat ahead of Morgan.

 

[Maher96]

Lets try something yaar.

 

[Ace Base]

Ajmal trying too hard methinks. This is what happens when you have a one man bowling attack. At least thats what Ajmal feels in his head.

 

[Areesh]

Bell ko hi out kardo.

 

[adnan yasin]

Deficit 10

 

[saj001]

New ball time perhaps?

 

[Sharingan]

time to bring hafeez on

 

[Sledger]

Waqar wants Pakistan to take the new ball..

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Can we bat well in the 4th innings? Doubt it. Yet to be truly disproved. KP, Morgan and Strauss were horrific.

I don't know, we shall find out BUT you are highly likely going to take a lead, might even be a big lead so no idea why you are already crying

 

[insaftak]

Jaldi Jaldi Kero chants the crowd led by

 

[Robert]

Intelligent batting by Broad, driving the field back...

Great test cricket this!

 

[adnan yasin]

Bell ko hi out kardo.

the way you said it >>>>>>>>>>>> )

 

[Areesh]

I am missing nvir in this test.

 

[Rana]

Take the new ball

 

[Qadeer]

struggle to get tail enders out continues for pakistan, tbh lot more easier for our bowlers to get top order batsmen than lower order..need Akhter back 95 mph yorker to tailenders

 

[yadunoe]

take the new ball god damn it

 

[Solid Snake]

New ball? Not sure, would Junaid and Gul be able to deliver...?

 

[Areesh]

the way you said it >>>>>>>>>>>> )

Desperation buddy.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Take new ball , attack from hafeez awesome

 

[adnan yasin]

RED CHERRY waiting on the boundary

 

[Ruri]

Why isn't Hafeez bowling to Broad? Aren't left handers his specialty?

 

[adnan yasin]

Desperation buddy.

yeah can understand

 

[Sharingan]

anyone have a link for this match?

 

[adnan yasin]

Why isn't Hafeez bowling to Broad? Aren't left handers his specialty?

exactly!!

but i think misbah will bring him with new ball

 

[Areesh]

Bring in professor.

 

[Qadeer]

anyone have a link for this match?

i do but not sure if i can give it here

 

[Rana]

starting to get nervous

 

[hur rizvi]

looking too easy now for england...


take new ball

 

[MVP26]

Gulla in

 

[Ruri]

New ball taken. Could be crucial here. Which Gul will we see? The one that took apart (admittedly to terrible shots) England, or the one that sprays all over? Unlike some of you lot thinking the pacers are carp, I think the new ball is always a problem. The bats will have to play correctly.

 

[yadunoe]

yaar why isnt misbah taking the new ball

 

[HumorMe]

i do but not sure if i can give it here

U can not

 

[Sledger]

Gul to bowl now, new ball taken.

 

[Solid Snake]

New Ball taken

 

[adnan yasin]

BREAKING NEWS

AUS VS IND 4th Test match

will finish on DAY 5

Great achievement by India

 

[Solid Snake]

Come on Guldozer!

 

[MVP26]

Extra 50 runs would have been handy but our tail is so pathetic.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Ugul again

 

[hur rizvi]

New ball? Not sure, would Junaid and Gul be able to deliver...?

should give new ball to hafeez from one end

 

[Poison]

C'mon boys couple of wickets needed

 

[Sledger]

Junaid is also warming up.

 

[WalkingWiggett]

You have to admit, an England victory here will make the series a whole lot more exciting. Dead rubbers are so meh.

 

[Rana]

big phase

 

[Sjaloha]

England will take the lead, and that is for sure. How can Pakistan restrict England from taking a huge lead is the real question. These two along with Swann are fully capable of scoring some runs.

 

[Desi]

waqar talking about gul getting movement, gul hasn't gotten movement with a red ball since the last decade

 

[Sledger]

Terrible ball, smashed for four.

 

[adnan yasin]

Broad smashed it for to long off boundary

wow

 

[hur rizvi]

broad playing a match winning knock here

 

[insaftak]

Barbie issed:

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Gas just seems so out of gas. No pace, no yorkers, no short pitched deliveries.

 

[Sjaloha]

Broad is not going to hand around for nothing. He will go after every bowler till you get his wicket. I hope he will not inflict serious damage.

 

[Sledger]

Four more, and England lead by 2.

 

[adnan yasin]

no third man

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Real chawal bowling from Gul.

 

[HumorMe]

You have to admit, an England victory here will make the series a whole lot more exciting. Dead rubbers are so meh.

That will rack my nerves more...pressure on Pakistan will build more in the next game. Maybe an England victory will b exciting but a Pakistan victory might b humbling...for England...just saying

 

[ragincajun]

Gul is bowling the same delivery over and over again, same result each time

 

[insaftak]

lead for England

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

those were free runs given by gullie

 

[Desi]

absolute garbage, get him out of the team.

 

[hur rizvi]

lead for England

terrible from Gul

 

[MVP26]

england take lead

 

[Ruri]

Parity achieved. I'm feeling slightly better. Still need a good lead to do okay here.

 

[Sledger]

Swann is probably more dangerous, and in batting form.
