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

[badxhah]

jusarrived nt get any worse at moment than already is
Something good bound to happen soon

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Lowest total for Misbah's team is 160 in an innings so far.

 

[adnan yasin]

just need 115 runs only

we can do it come on

 

[OZGOD]

OMG I just got up and checked my iPhone for the score what happened? Ball swinging?

 

[velu]

Never expected this from pakistan .

 

[Areesh]

Really don't need another Misbah. We need at least one guy in the team who can take on the attack (other than Hafeez). So again... Umar over Azhar any day.

Also, the wall has shattered.

So replace Umar with Taufeeq who is biggest weak link in Pakistani batting. Azhar deserves to be in team.

 

[OZGOD]

Definitely.

But IMO this isn't a 'bad' collapse. A bad collapse is when you're in a good position and then you collapse to let the other team in.

You're right, this isn't a bad collapse...it's a terrible collapse

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

OMG I just got up and checked my iPhone for the score what happened? Ball swinging?

Our bats are swinging. And I don't mean in the good way.

 

[talha3]

OMG I just got up and checked my iPhone for the score what happened? Ball swinging?

It was a bit in the first half hour. Nothing special though. The bowling has been good though.

 

[adnan yasin]

Never expected this from pakistan .

yeah ... its a surprise for all of us

but fortunately we have a good bowling inshallah we will cover it up

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

1st target should be avoid 72 all out

 

[badxhah]

OMG I just got up and checked my iPhone for the score what happened? Ball swinging?

pakistan team lost their bats

 

[jusarrived]

a true fan sticks with his team through thick and thin.

trust me , i havent given up on them ..its that the next couple of series are going to be painful to watch ...unless offcourse if we play against Pakistan at some point

btw I like Adnan Akmals batting too . Steady but with experience he should be more reliable & his avg should go up to 35-40 which is good for a wk

 

[adnan yasin]

i m still thinking what was younis khan trying to do ??

 

[adnan yasin]

Mashallah these two looking positives ... adnan akmal just need to make sure he doesnt hang his bat too often

 

[fight_club]

We need 72 btw have they shifted the venue to leeds

 

[ShaazE]

So replace Umar with Taufeeq who is biggest weak link in Pakistani batting. Azhar deserves to be in team.

I can live with that actually. As long as Azhar is made to open.

 

[Asif321]

all is not lost 150 here and we r in game

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

all is not lost 150 here and we r in game

Do I smell a jinx?

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

how many runs will we score? 70 all out?

 

[adnan yasin]

how many runs will we score? 70 all out?

150 .... inshallah

minimum

 

[Looney]

Never expected this from pakistan .

If you just started following Pakistani cricket



Surprise !!

 

[shane]

Some vicious spin there for Panesar, and one that kept especially low. And it's only day 1!

 

[badxhah]

botham and willis prbbly be having orgasms right now looking at the situation

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

If you just started following Pakistani cricket



Surprise !!

 

[Choking_Protea]

I Pity this Pakistani batting lineup batting at the Wanderers

 

[Zeeraq]

Taufeeq have been really bad & the back-up Opener is Imran Farhat who is worse then Taufeeq.

 

[shane]

Meanwhile, Adnan Akmal looks like someone who should never ever defend - he looks atrocious in defence.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

150 .... inshallah

minimum

you're being too generous

 

[Strike!]

Plumb.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

another one gone?

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

More pressure on Shafiq

 

[Pak_Power]

Pakistan may not even get 72 here!!

 

[Strike!]

Our batsmen are so terrible when it comes to playing bounce and swing.

 

[1137moiz]

39/6! Karachi 2006

 

[Ruri]

Bring back Jimmy and polish them off. Pakistan will be batting later today ofcourse, after we go ao for 14

 

[ShaazE]

Around 70 sounds good now.

 

[Asif321]

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

What's Pakistan's all time lowest total in a test innings?

 

[James]

Broad now has 20 minutes to reach a milestone. He can be the first England player to take a five-fer on the first morning of a test match since...1913.

What a player he's proving to be.

 

[talha3]

Wasn't the score 39-6 when Kami saved us against India?

 

[jusarrived]

I think I jinxed Adnan .

again mostly lbws ?

 

[DW44]

39-6 on the first morning of the game. Reminds me of a certain other test match from years bygone where we were in the exact same position at one point. Can someone repeat the exploits of a certain Mr. Akmal?

 

[cricfan4ever]

39/6! Karachi 2006

no Kami, Razzaq and Akhtar for rescue though...

need a Kami-esque knock from and the tail to wag somehow...

 

[Zeeraq]

I was expecting 200 + before the match started.

 

[jusarrived]

39/6! Karachi 2006

I keep hpoing for Kolkotta 2001 everytime we are behind .. unfortunately these things dont happent often

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Shafiq highest scorer of the innings

 

[Looney]

Pakistan lowered the bar for England to make the series more competitive . Big hearts , you know .

 

[badxhah]

ah the Akmals Love them or Hate them they will always remain with the pakistan cricket team.
Parasites

After the so called success of the 3 siblings ( namely umar kamran and adnan) the Grapevine is

that Their Dad has also started practicing and should be making his debut very soon.

 

[Sandeep]

I keep hpoing for Kolkotta 2001 everytime we are behind .. unfortunately these things dont happent often

[1137moiz]

Asad Shafiq century, Abdur Rehman 45 and Umar Gul 47 and we're set.

Then the top 7 will have to score 50+ in the Pakistan second innings, Cheema and Abdur Rehman will have to rout the India lineup and Eoin Morgan will have to hit a cenutry in a losing cause.

(Seriously though it's not over till it's over) InshaAllah

[I Believe in the Teesra]

So dumb. Seriously..so dumb.. so dumb

 

[James]

instead of lunch, can we claim an extra half hour?

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

If I'm Shafiq, I'm pissed @ that. Rehman's sleeping outside the hotel for that stupid shot.

 

[Looney]

KP has finally contributed to the team in this series

Pak can feel India's pain now...atleast you have bowlers to show...

 

[Arcturus]

some very good bowling and lots of very poor batting...

 

[sazz]

A collapse and worst of all the batsmen are getting out on Barbie bowling

He has improved as a very good bowler.
