Pakistan v England | 3rd Test | DSC | Feb 3-7, 2012 | Day 1

[saj001]

Both these batsmen prefer fast bowlers! Why are we playing into their hands? Bring on spinners.

 

[leatherface58]

kp will smash em. i am sure. if he doesnt, there is always india...

 

[Badsha]

Just woke and saw 99 all out WTH happened? What would happen if we play on seaming track?

8 wicket haul

 

[Sledger]

Need to bring on spin, maybe Gul can keep bowling for a couple.

 

[kkmix]

Pietersen in double figures ... Shame on Pakistani bowlers.

 

[Looney]

Where is the trio ?

Bookies still have Pakistan down to win this. Need to get that changed and then go for the kill

 

[Osman]

shud bring on rehman for pietersen

 

[Badsha]

Bring on Azhar Ali.

 

[Sledger]

29/2. Pietersen on strike.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Where is the trio ?

Someone said it's a dead rubber. maybe that's the reason they are not asked to bowl

 

[Vegitto1]

Boom boom!!!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

pieterson will make century and on another note their pacers are a lot better than outs.

 

[Sledger]

Trott's glasses. Seriously though? )

"Andy, Imma let you finish.. but that was one of the worst non-reviews of all time. OF ALL TIME."

 

[Badsha]

Good ball Gully.

 

[JibranAnsari]

lovely batting performance by pakistan

 

[Badsha]

Bring on idone!

 

[DW44]

Just woke and saw 99 all out WTH happened? What would happen if we play on seaming track?

Ermmm... This is a seaming track. At least it was when England were bowling. Ball was moving around both in the air and off the track well into the 40th over.

 

[Vegitto1]

Why are they bowling short of a length? Board and Anderson bowled more like Pakistani bowlers then these two. Pitch it up!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Gut feeling is Peietersen will score big today.

 

[leatherface58]

lol @ rana.

 

[JibranAnsari]

pietersen looks well set, need to get him now.

 

[insaftak]

KP looks angry today. Not Good News for Pakistan.

 

[RehanG]

spinnersss

 

[Vegitto1]

this is just silly man!

 

[Badsha]

Weird noise from the crowd.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

lol...what a shot from Strauss

 

[Looney]

Asad shafiq stopped it , would have been a

 

[Vegitto1]

Bring on the spinners!

 

[Sledger]

Loose shot by Strauss again. Looks very rusty so far but getting away with it, maybe it's his day.

 

[Looney]

was that Afridi getting ready for LOIs ? )

 

[JibranAnsari]

hope we don't concede lead more than 150.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

KP's ego has been touched.

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal is back on.

 

[Looney]

Pietersen you decide to score only when i drop you from my fantasy team issed:

 

[ninjafirstslip]

doosra!!!!!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Dead rubber pitch, ajmal on and pietersen going down the wicket

 

[ninjafirstslip]

KP playing ajmal well...

 

[Badsha]

Pieterson is angry. Let's invite him to hit big

 

[imshally81]

need m hafeez here ....

 

[Badsha]

hahah nice "leave" pieterson.

 

[insaftak]

Pietersen you decide to score only when i drop you from my fantasy team issed:

I have him in my team. I thought he would suck again. I am trying to hit the bottom 3 of the fantasy league

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

with pietersen in form, we are DOOMED.

 

[Badsha]

It did once happen bumble. Wasn't a big deal.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

need some rehman magic....

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen attacking might help Pakistan, I STILL think Ajmal is a better LOI bowler than a test bowler.

 

[Looney]

I have him in my team. I thought he would suck again. I am trying to hit the bottom 3 of the fantasy league

if only we had this guy in the team

 

[JibranAnsari]

why gul bowl so short

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to get rehman or hafeez on here as well and dry up runs and wickets will come.

 

[Amjid Javed]

why gul bowl so short

His natural length! never seems to vary it!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

England will remove the deficit at the loss of 2 wickets. Bet

 

[Osman]

loose stuff

 

[talha3]

OK that should be the end of pace till the new ball.

 

[Badsha]

come on. You guys can't expect our bowlers to get them for less than hundred runs all the time.

 

[insaftak]

Time to replace Umar"You are Awful" Gul.

 

[Strike!]

Why the hell is Rehman not bowling?

 

[Badsha]

Wish we had Kaneria sharing the ball with Ajmal

 

[JibranAnsari]

loose stuff from gul.

 

[Sledger]

Time to take Gul off for spin.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Straight hit for

 

[talha3]

Suddenly the run rate is out of control. Batsmen finding it comfortable.

 

[Badsha]

what a nice straight drive. Enjoy this lads, we're watching a world class batsman bat.

 

[Sledger]

When Pietersen gets busy..

 

[TalhaSyed]

all of a sudden it looks so easy

 

[Badsha]

Four more. K.P In the mooooooooooooooooooooooooood

 

[talha3]

That was just an awful over.

 

[Osman]

poor from gul...all voer the place with length

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

2nd consecutive . It's all over with PIETERSEN in form

 

[ninjafirstslip]

gul being used like tea towel now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

gul back to his usualself.

 

[talha3]

Worst possible start to the session for Pakistan.

 

[Sledger]

Lovely pies from Umar there, can smell them through the screen.

 

[qaiser]

Why the hell is Rehman not bowling?

My question "Why and what the hell is Gul bowling?"

 

[malakian]

Bumble 'Gul is bowling a bit short this spell'

Hasn't he bowled a bit short his entire test career?

 

[Looney]

need maiden overs to create pressure on them . take pacers off .

 

[Osman]

terrible stuff....dam awful....cant even string together a few good balls on a length

 

[Vegitto1]

All series Misbah brought the left-hand spinner as soon as KP comes into bat and suddenly, final test match and he throws that tactic out of the window.

They are all rotten to the core

 

[Badsha]

Rehman on.

 

[insaftak]

Bring on Rehman Please. Someone Do kaala Jadoo on KP.

 

[James]

Gul doing his best to get England's batsmen back into form.
