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

[akamaka]

2 runs

 

[pak4life]

we have runs two of them!!

 

[Sledger]

RUNS.

and the crowd errupt.

 

[PakPosheeda]

I would love to see Swann bowl in India and see him being taken to the cleaners - Pak batsmen are disgraceful against spin!

Exactly. He's just an honest line and length spinner, but Pak batsmen are playing him like he was unreadable.

 

[qamar84]

mard e haq

tuktuk bang

 

[Shahzebayub]

Finaly runs after 32 balls

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

ok me signing off , will be back up from office after tea. Hold them togather till then guys

 

[Random Aussie]

Who exactly are these top spinners? Graeme Swann has been one of the best around for a while, he averaged 12 against them last time in England, they have improved against him this time, but he's still taking wickets.

Other than Ajmal & Swann, what truly world class spinners are around at the moment? Shakib maybe?

Well since i am talking to you, the only good spinners are English spinners and England are great.

 

[ecstatic_freak]

Took a double, i'm surprised

 

[IAJ]

The worst feeling I have had today:

Was just looking at the score on cricinfo and suddenly the wicket column was changed from 2 till 3. That was a bad feeling, just looking at the movement of the digits.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to be postive here and score some runs, just continual blocking aint going to get us anywhere and once a wicket falls will be in even deeper ****!

we cant afford to even lose any more wickets today!

 

[Sledger]

Just a single.

 

[Shahzebayub]

Good field by broad

 

[ecstatic_freak]

well since i am talking to you, the only good spinners are english spinners and england are great.

lol

 

[Sledger]

Azhar just scored a run everyone!

 

[insaftak]

Aik aur run!

Ladoo for everyone.

 

[PakPosheeda]

we have runs two of them!!

What do we do with them?

 

[malakian]

Well since i am talking to you, the only good spinners are English spinners and England are great.

Still waiting for you to name some.

 

[Areesh]

[JibranAnsari]

yes thats why they lost first test in 3 days.. this match aint over.. we might see a 50 from ajmal here

And how much have they improved is nothing hidden, batted better than before on a spin friendly track. plus they have to take total of 12 wickets, rest of them wil be gifted.

 

[qamar84]

and cut the ball what a shot

 

[Mian Hassan]

Guys hang in there... the ball should get softer in 4 to 5 overs then we can start ticking over...

 

[Areesh]

Itnai sarai runs. Oye hoye.

 

[Shahzebayub]

4 by azhar 52.3

 

[jattafridi]

take that

 

[insaftak]

for AA

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan's plan now in place. Tire them out and then pounce. Four to Azhar.

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

Still waiting for you to name some.

yuvraj says hi kp

 

[PakPosheeda]

Good field by broad

Scores runs. Takes wickets. And then saves runs.

Gul is the exact opposite. Cant do any of that. And some people think he's better than Barbie.

 

[IAJ]

If we had one attacking batsman in the top 6, one single, we would have got those 23 runs in no time and and could look to build a lead.

Oh no, The Misbah-virus reaching Azhar as well just before a pause.

 

[ecstatic_freak]

Itnai sarai runs. Oye hoye.

Allah nazar na lagayie

 

[SWERVE_uk]

once we get over the deficit am sure Strauss will look to save runs rather then attack

 

[Sledger]

Trail by 17 now.

abi tu main jawan hoon

i have al the faith in pk ... i can see misbah holding the chai wala cup after this match

 

[PakPosheeda]

Azhar 46 off 12 balls. Or the other way around. I forgot which one.

 

[Asif321]

i think misbah and azhar will save us :umarakmal

 

[ecstatic_freak]

We just need 250, hopefully Misbah gets us there before Day 5 lunch

 

[Sledger]

Well played by the captain. Tea time.

 

[siccric]

NEW RECORD

19 people have been dismissed in this match without the help of fielders already.

Previous record was 16...

 

[qamar84]

what a single by mard e haq

 

[ninjafirstslip]

azhar was surprised he hit that well.

 

[Shahzebayub]

Trail by 16 pak 54.3 tea time

 

[insaftak]

need a century from one of these two.

 

[Sledger]

England on top, Pakistan still in the game.

 

[akamaka]

TEA! phewww! what a session, game poised!

 

[malakian]

yuvraj says hi kp

The same Yuvraj that England made look like a fat club player last summer? )

Lol what an epic discussion between optimism and pessimism.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

lol can't even get 70 odd in 27 overs

 

[Asif321]

chai chai chai chai chai

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar should apolize to all the tuk fans for the :4 . Naughty boy

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

The same Yuvraj that England made look like a fat club player last summer? )

Yes thats him.. but im talking abt yuvraj the bowler vs kp the tailender

 

[ecstatic_freak]

Misbah learned in school and firmly believes in slow and steady wins the race

 

[Amjid Javed]

Someone please score a big 100 for pakistan in this match ffs!

 

[ecstatic_freak]

5 Maidens in a row......?

I heard Hanif once played 20 maidens in a row

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

Misbah learned in school and firmly believes in slow and steady wins the race

you can not blame misbah in this match no way

tuk tuk zindabad

 

[IAJ]

When we ask all other batsmen to support Misbah, gues who get's out first....

If Azhar and Misbah can bat to close and add another 60 runs that would be great!

114/3 at close will look good.

 

[malakian]

Yes thats him.. but im talking abt yuvraj the bowler vs kp the tailender

Why do you keep including these stupid pictures in every post you make? They have no relevance to the discussion.

Anyway, KP is 10x the player Yuvraj will ever be.

 

[IAJ]

wait add another 14 runs, which will come of the last over of the day.

 

[bforme]

barbie has been hot throughout

 

[MenInG]

Azhar Ali needs Misbhas calm influence on the other side - Love the way Misbah takes control. He remains our last hope.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

A quick calculation based on historical RR suggests Pak will clear the deficit at around 30 overs.

 

[Strike!]

An innings of Laxman 2001 proportions needed.

 

[saj001]

LUL WAT?

More like other way around.

Even though i hate Yuvis gut and face(for some reason) he is class bat and a class above KP.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Someone please score a big 100 for pakistan in this match ffs!

I would but I'm kinda sleepy.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

tuk tuk is the sign for improvement

 

[PakPosheeda]

Def looks our best batsman these days. Even better than Younis.

[SWERVE_uk]

loads of pressue now on Kaptaan if he bats well we will put up a good total.

Either way i don't think many people would like to be in his shoes right now....

 

[TaZ]

Arrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhh

 

[Random Aussie]

Steady and discplined as usual from Pakistan. Did i just post that? Waitwat?

Deficit nearly erased by steady batting, infuriating posters who want five rpo....

Agree with the poster who said just bowl three spinners for the whole England innings.

 

[malakian]

) ) ) )

Never heard anything as ridiculous in my entire life.

 

[AJ4rmKHI]

Can't Younis just retire from cricket! he has been a liability in ODIs and now is showing his class against good test teams as well. Umar Akmal deserves a chance and ASAD and AZHAR has been better in this series so has to sit out......

 

[Zamee]

lol can't even get 70 odd in 27 overs

Its a test match

 

[Amjid Javed]

An innings of Laxman 2001 proportions needed.

Indeed! a dravid/laxman - type bat all day with out losing a wicket partnership is going to be needed

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Its a test match

batting with purpose is also required in this form.

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

Indeed! a dravid/laxman - type bat all day with out losing a wicket partnership is going to be needed

They have the patience but do they have the skill?

 

[Warfare]

Can the wrist slitters please shut the hell up, epecially those suggesting Younis should be dropped/retired.

 

[AJ4rmKHI]

See some Random Aussie trying to smack Pakistan's ass.. ohh wait they have every right to i mean they were able to draw the series with us in england.. and ashes was just a diplomatic gift by them to england else why they gave wickets to average spin/pace attack......
