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

[talha3]

Cheema can't be going for lbws to the left handers from over the wicket. Needs to either go round the wicket or go for edges to keeper and slips.

 

[malakian]

give credit where it is due....your batsmen were actually clueless against spin....that can't be helped mate...

Aye, but they didn't go anywhere, they should have come out swinging. Don't get me wrong, Pakistan bowled brilliantly, but with a batting lineup as talented as ours, we should be able to chase 150 against anyone.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

well well well, we have been dismissed on 99. looks like if we lose, we will have some pride left.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Let's limit England to a max lead of 100 and it is game on

I think we can gain a 20-30 run lead here

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Cheema cmon boy

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

So malakian is out in full force

 

[Amjid Javed]

Get hafeez and Ajmal on and lets get into england weak middle order

 

[talha3]

Cook gone. yess gulllah

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[Looney]

 

[RehanG]

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Yess.out cook

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Akmal cheetah

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Brilliant catch.

 

[Zeeraq]

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

1 down, 9 to go

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

diarrhea?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cook Gone.

Just need to get rid of Trott and we are into the Englan Tail

 

[akheR]

England AO before 80, Trott falling to Cheema. :cheema

 

[pak4life]

here we go again...!

 

[Amjid Javed]

1 down, 9 to go

Trott englands last recognised batsmen in now.

 

[Sandeep]

Aye, but they didn't go anywhere, they should have come out swinging. Don't get me wrong, Pakistan bowled brilliantly, but with a batting lineup as talented as ours, we should be able to chase 150 against anyone.

More than anything the English are battling their minds....I've seen Pietersen belt better bowlers(Ajmal is one) with greater abilities...but he isn't present here!

 

[talha3]

Athletic stuff from Adnan

 

[malakian]

So malakian is out in full force

Hai there

Nice catch by Akmal btw

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Right hander in. Aizaz will finish him off.

 

[James]

Same old story?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Hai there

Nice catch by Akmal btw

credit goes to akmal

 

[qamar84]

gulldozer start the destruction

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Same old story?

Trott still got diarrhea?

 

[leatherface58]

why was cook copying gautam gambhir?

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Trott facing Aizaz

 

[Amjid Javed]

Same old story?

Yep, we thought being bowled out for 99 would make it a fairer game!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Eng 6/1 - 93 runs behind.

 

[James]

Time for all these players with their high batting averages to do something useful.

A deficit or non-convincing lead would be an absolute joke.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Get Hafeez on so we can get strauss Early as well.

 

[Sandeep]

Batting averages don't always ensure good scores...the Indians would explain it better..

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Bring on the spinners, really can't see Cheema doing much damage

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Time for all these players with their high batting averages to do something useful.

A deficit or non-convincing lead would be an absolute joke.

Its beyond a joke now

 

[WalkingWiggett]

If England manage 250+ they are so winning this. :rondu

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Seems like trott is in some kind of form

 

[James]

Strauss is finished.

No-lose post because if he gets a score I will be happy, and if he doesn't I will look like clever boy.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[talha3]

Gul you beauty!!

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Gulla

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Trottsky

No DRS. Plumb on leg stump?

 

[osee_bhai]

Gully yess!
7/2

 

[RehanG]

 

[akheR]

Time for all these players with their high batting averages to do something useful.

A deficit or non-convincing lead would be an absolute joke.

You were basically mocking the 27 runs partnership of Ajmal and Shafiq, but as I said, this pitch is made for Gully and Cheema, not even talking of our spinners, so I would have been glad to have 120-150 in these conditions against that team.

 

[Looney]

 

[talha3]

Our seamers can get wickets too

 

[Sandeep]

the normal service is restored i feel...lol

 

[qamar84]

that trot the men in form is out gulldozer start destruction

 

[pak4life]

here come the bunnies time for Ajmal

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Gul, you the man

 

[saj001]

Bring on Rehman from other end )

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

This match will finish today.

Pak to win the series 3-0

 

[James]

Oh my word.

It's all just getting a bit weird now. I can't remember a worse batting effort in a test series from England.

 

[Abdullah Zubair]

What a series this is turning out to be..!!

 

[Arcturus]

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

yay! How long till tea?

 

[saj001]

Should have reviewed it. )

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

That was missing the leg stump

 

[RehanG]

Hahahahaha

 

[majiz]

pak confirmed as 3-0 winners

 

[talha3]

) Nice one Strauss

 

[Zeeraq]

 

[RehanG]

now straussy feel guilty..

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Not even a single century in this series so far

 

[Vegitto1]

things even out! Trott benefitted once when Pakistan did not review

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Was not out )

Skipper saved the review for himself )

 

[James]

Missing by a mile

I howled at the original replay, thought it might have been missing.

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Despite Waqar's commentary, I actually thought that was missing leg stump. Ha ha

 

[Looney]

lulz he would have been not out if he had reviewed it )

 

[malakian]

That was missing by a mile even in real time. Duhhhh!!!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

It never looked plumb to me.

 

[NeVerMind]

It's as they say karma for the two times he was not given out in the previous two tests!

 

[slblack]

I missed the Pakistan innings?

Did any english bowler step on the ball this time as well?

 

[kkmix]

lol

 

[James]

This is all a bit depressing really. Wahhhhhh.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Into the England tail now. We should be aiming for a 30-40 run lead here

England 9/2
