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

[Fireworks11]

Lead is 284 now.

 

[justarslan]

Can Azhar score double century?

It will be the slowest double century in test cricket history if he scores it.

 

[Looney]

Ramiz Raja said Test cricket was banned for a year in Pakistan after that match!

TMS discussing a dreadful game in Lahore in the '70s where Pakistan declared midway through the 3rd day with only 440 on the board!!

what happened in that match ?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pakistan has done extremely well. Congrats to Azhar as well!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Azhar looks much more comfortable against spin today

 

[insaftak]

whaata shot by

 

[Fireworks11]

On middle stump and blocked.

 

[Digital]

Azhar Ali capable of batting complete 5 days...very patient and solid ! that's what we need

 

[Fireworks11]

Amazing what smooth rhythm can do to you as a pacer.

 

[Fireworks11]

Off his hips for 1.

 

[BMW Power]

at what score do you think they will declare?

 

[Fireworks11]

Ali looks good for 150+

 

[Fireworks11]

Lead is 289.

It's time for a drink.

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

England will lose by 250 runs.

I'm kind of glad that if it was going to be a beating, it will be an annihilation. No more denial about lack of nous and ability in Asian conditions.

Don't understand how.

Nass, Thorpey, Gilo, White and Gough thrived in these conditions. White and Gough were Asian-style bowlers and Thorpe...there was nobody better to show how to play spin.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan can afford to bat till lunch tomorrow I think. Another 60-70 overs.

 

[James]

I don't understand either - but it's not our job to. Central contracts are rumoured to be worth between £100,000 (entry salary) and a Million (KP Nuts), so for that they can have a word with themselves and find ways to improve.

 

[Fireworks11]

English spirits are down.

Lol @ bumble and Ajmal's animated chat.

 

[Fireworks11]

Monty to continue. His figures are 1/109.

 

[insaftak]

Raja making fun of the brits )

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Pakistan should add another 30-40 runs before tea, and accelerate after tea to get to 400 and declare before end of days play. Give England 5-6 over to face today.

 

[Fireworks11]

Coming round the wicket and good stop at mid wicket.

 

[Fireworks11]

OUT and reviewed..

 

[Looney]

Misbah gets a review


think he is pretty sure he is ok

 

[insaftak]

"In case anyone has not noticed, Azhar Ali's post century strike rate is 50.0" Don't think many people noticed, Najam.

Boom Boom

 

[insaftak]

misbah

 

[Fireworks11]

Misbah is gone for 31.

Shouldn't have reviewed that captain.

 

[Looney]

no review left

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Good inns, would have been nice if he got 50 though

 

[mrk]

lol was that out ? Rameez saying no spot from hotspot... hmm are u real ?

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

The master/founder of tukism departs.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Misbah is very Afridi in the way that they both as captains use to referrals for themselves no matter what!

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Stupid review by Misbah

 

[kkmix]

wat an entertaining inning

 

[Looney]

Pakistan should play faster now honestly

 

[cricfan4ever]

lackadaisical innings from ... this is why rotation of strike is so important ... he had been living dangerously on the forward defense

 

[Fireworks11]

Asad comes in wearing a cap.

He needs to play his normal game.

 

[JibranAnsari]

and the senior tuk goes down

 

[adnan yasin]

isnt it selfish to take DRS everytime just because you are captain

 

[Vegitto1]

Funny how in England's last review the third umpire played the tv replays 50 times to establish a clear inside edge and here he made up his mind in 2 seconds

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Shafiq agya maidan main, :thumbup:

 

[Fireworks11]

Solid blocks by Asad.

Ali should start to make hay now. His eye is in.

 

[adnan yasin]

thats why we say

put your bat infront of bat when u do tuk tuk

 

[hamzamunir]

Ramiz is such a english poppat that he starts to go against his own team. "There was no mark on the hot spot" ... Are you blind ramiz? Even if that was pad first...ok its fine. But clearly the ball did hit the bat, so don't become a phattu and say it didn't.

 

[James]

Funny how in England's last review the third umpire played the tv replays 50 times to establish a clear inside edge and here he made up his mind in 2 seconds

Funny how this post is just arbitrary trolling.

 

[Looney]

Apocryphal from Adil? "Once a child was playing cricket. while playing on street he broke the glass of a window. His mother become angry and told him to never hit the ball. The boy's name is Azhar Ali."

)

 

[pakcricketfan]

is fast turning into in terms of wasting reviews.

 

[talha3]

Oh well. Didn't happen this time for Misbah. Thankfully we didn't need it this time. I guess that's been the best thing about our batting this series. When some batsman have failed, the others have succeeded.

 

[IMMY69]

Exactly what I was thinking!

That had to be quickest review ever, although I don't think he nicked it, but that's only after watching the two further replays after the DRS decision

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Shocking to read pessimistic and negative comments

I think Misbah has earned a little bit of leeway

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Asad look sexy in cap

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Scoring rate will fall down further

 

[IAJ]

So Misbah gets out LBW for the 5th time in a 3 match series and equals the record of the Kiwi's Wilson was it? Nasser mentioned his name in the morning.

 

[Fireworks11]

Down the leg side.

 

[James]

Exactly what I was thinking!

That had to be quickest review ever, although I don't think he nicked it, but that's only after watching the two further replays after the DRS decision

So basically you saw immediately that the decision was out. Or, we could watch it another ten times to give you time to fill your bowl with popcorn and pour a drink?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Scoring rate will fall down further

This is day 3, no need to worry about scoring rate

If you want to watch chaukkay and chikkay then watch the Aus-Ind game

 

[PakPosheeda]

Did anyone hear Prior scream "game on! game on" after Misbah got out?

 

[Fireworks11]

Ali leaves alone again.

 

[IMMY69]

Shocking to read pessimistic and negative comments

Well some of the rubbish spouted by some people here is absolutely shocking, even more shocking is that there are so many of these numptys here.

 

[Fireworks11]

332-4.

 

[James]

I agree with you, but your post above (about the DRS) wasn't brilliant either to be honest. There's complaining, which is fine - but then, there's complaining for the sake of complaining.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Shocking to read pessimistic and negative comments

after having faced 100+ balls, he departed for 31, at least make a 50 if you are going to tuk tuk...lethargic innings from the skipper really!

 

[Fireworks11]

Deep point for one.

 

[IMMY69]

So basically you saw immediately that the decision was out. Or, we could watch it another ten times to give you time to fill your bowl with popcorn and pour a drink?

Can you read?

I said after watching two further replays after the DRS decision!

Jeez

 

[talha3]

Azhar has 400...deliveries faced

 

[adnan yasin]

we dont need 4s and 6s in test matches

we need rotation of strike ... single double ... and in one dayers as well in middle overs

i just cant understand how hard is it to fulfill this dream of wishers

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Chinese cut gets Shafiq off the Mark.

 

[Fireworks11]

Inside edge for 2 runs

 

[adnan yasin]

Lead 293/4

 

[thurkeebaba]

So basically you saw immediately that the decision was out. Or, we could watch it another ten times to give you time to fill your bowl with popcorn and pour a drink?

NO.... The point we are trying to make is that in the previous review, the 3rd umpire took lot more time; when it was 100% obvious that there was an inside edge; whereas in Misbah's case decision was made in 2 secs after one reaply from the front....

I think the other two posters are totally correct imho...

 

[Fireworks11]

Asad sees out the over

 

[BMW Power]

Asad look sexy in cap

haraam

 

[IMMY69]

I quoted sebody else. I did not make a post on it off my own back..

Whippy stop this now, I want to carry on posting here

 

[Fireworks11]

Played off his chest.

 

[James]

The umpires take however long (or not) they need to be sure. That's it. They got both decisions right. There is no white conspiracy here, which is always the snide implication with such poor posts. Sorry!

 

[Fireworks11]

Left alone.

we only believe in the power of tuk

 

[Fireworks11]

Forward defence to cover. Beautiful sound off the blade.

Baba is a taxi driver. Is he Stuart Broad's taxi driver
