Pakistan v England | 2nd Test | Abu Dhabi | Jan 28th, 2012 | Day 4

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Damn!!!! 72-5

 

[SAF]

why are they clapping?!

 

[iZeeshan]

Adnan has gotta provide some real support today, along with the tail

Let Azhar get to his 100, others provide 50-60 more together

That's a 170-ish lead.

 

[Looney]

umm good catch ?

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Batted out a 1/4 of the session.

This pair really really need to bat to lunch.

 

[Strike!]

 

[W63L35]

Well played Asad.....

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan lead by 72.

Need a 50 from Adnan here! otherwise it will be game over very quickly.

 

[ragincajun]

please stick at the wicket boyss

 

[insaftak]

Gul to score a 50. Don't worry!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Shafiq did not look at all comfortable against Monty, the wicket was inevitable

C'MON Adnan, need a big knock from you

Lead is only 72

 

[adnan yasin]

Pak 72/5

 

[Desi]

sigh, well bowled

 

[ragincajun]

need a big partnership now

 

[iZeeshan]

Gul to score a 50. Don't worry!

That's the only way he'll be useful for the rest of this match

 

[hur rizvi]

Adnan should play his shots no use of blocking now....

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asad should be dissapointed he was well set in both inns and didnt go on in either.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Thats what happens when you play so defensive

 

[adnan yasin]

Swan now coming to bowl

 

[Fawad2010]

Adnan, plz plz plz plz plz....

 

[Maher96]

71-5 .

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Swann back in the attack

 

[ninjafirstslip]

i feel sick.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Swann back on now...

 

[Ruri]

10 overs to new ball.

 

[insaftak]

Adnan should play his shots no use of blocking now....

+1

He needs to score quick 30+ runs

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

one more wicket and tail will be exposed.

 

[adnan yasin]

azhar ali played to long on for single

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Asad never looked like that he got going more trouble for Pakistan, now these two have to do wonder to dig out Pakistan from here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single for AA

 

[MVP26]

swann on

 

[SAF]

Not losing hope. I think we can have a lead of 150+..

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Asad should be dissapointed he was well set in both inns and didnt go on in either.

Very true.

So disappointed. Would have been so good if he scoresd 70 odd

 

[adnan yasin]

pressure first up for adnan

 

[MVP26]

adnan in trounle

 

[ninjafirstslip]

noooooooooooo.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

England having the upper hand here. Pak is under pressure now

 

[Asif321]

atleast 40 needed from adnan

 

[Maher96]

Adnan hit a six.

 

[iZeeshan]

Adnan needs to go for shots

He's gonna get himself killed if he keeps defending

 

[adilmomin]

Pakistan from coach, captain, and batsmen from 3-6 are all Tuk Tuk. You maybe can win a few games, but against quality teams, it'll be tough. With the mentality of defense, we cannot be anywhere near top 3 in world

 

[Amjid Javed]

Adnan needs to smash a few to get fielders out of the way!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

blocking will get us nowhere.

 

[Maher96]

Single for AA

Bth batsmen are AA loll

 

[hur rizvi]

Since our tail hasnt got ability to score even 10 runs this partnership is our last oppurtunity to score runs. Both of them should attack now

 

[ninjafirstslip]

azhar cant bat with the tail to save his life.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 73/5

Need another 127 runs from somewhere!

 

[W63L35]

one more wicket and tail will be exposed.

Can't do worse than the top order. We were 54/4.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bth batsmen are AA loll

haha oh yeah! )

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

10 runs from akmal would be of great value.

 

[Iffitheking]

Just woke up and Shafique is already gone

 

[iZeeshan]

Azhar looking really solid out there

He needs proper support

 

[adnan yasin]

Pakistan from coach, captain, and batsmen from 3-6 are all Tuk Tuk. You maybe can win a few games, but against quality teams, it'll be tough. With the mentality of defense, we cannot be anywhere near top 3 in world

exactly!!

thats what i m saying since ages ..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Why do we have trouble with bowlerd like monty

 

[MVP26]

Tuk tuk not gonna take us anywhere.

 

[Asif321]

muttaiah monty daran

 

[ninjafirstslip]

tuk tuk is not bad but you need to smash a few as well to keep the fielders away.

 

[Maher96]

How do our batsmen plan t score runs??

 

[adnan yasin]

good stuff by azhar coming down the wicket killing the spin .. and trying to dismantle the line .. do it more often

 

[ninjafirstslip]

monty the new

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Runs not coming easily.

 

[hur rizvi]

Another maiden

 

[insaftak]

oooooohhhhhhh and aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh by the brits

 

[adnan yasin]

Why do we have trouble with bowlerd like monty

Remeber Paul Harris ?

who is now taking care of his babies

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Just woke up and Shafique is already gone

Your the one who said we don't deserve to win.

2 to Akmal.

 

[Strike!]

Game over unless Adnan can somehow stick around.

 

[Amir]

Attack attack attack

 

[iZeeshan]

Adnan bringing out the sweeps

Lehgooooo

 

[adnan yasin]

2 more added

 

[insaftak]

2 for AA-K

 

[Zamee]

Well you wont win matches on how many ball uve played.
Score some quick runs for God sake!!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

75-5

 

[ragincajun]

Can't do worse than the top order. We were 54/4.

send them to the gallows

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Come on guys we need a 50 partnership here.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Afridi would be ideal in this situation, would take the attack to them, even Umar Akmal

 

[Amjid Javed]

Adnan off the mark with 2.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

2 more.

 

[shane]

I dont get it - what are they looking to achieve here? We saw yesterday just how easy England's tailenders found batting once they started attacking the ball.

 

[insaftak]

2 more for AA-K

 

[adilmomin]

Azhar, Younis, Misbah, Asad are all blockers and tuk tuk. None of them can rotate the strike at ease. We need Umar Akmal in test team. Pakistan is playing in the 1980 mode. They must move on with modern cricket.
