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

[Looney]

Terrible Gulli terrible

 

[chui_kadoo]

I would replace Cheema with Hafeez

 

[IAJ]

Just bring on spin after this. No need to mess around and let them settle.

 

[Fireworks11]

Left alone. 14-0.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

2 days to chase 324, they just need to save wickets that's it.

The key is our spinners, will be they for the first time be able to handle them?

 

[Sledger]

england definently have a lot of time

to reflect on this series loss?

Why, when's their next test?

 

[carbon11]

Who is William Wallace?

some scottish rebel leader in middle ages

 

[insaftak]

Professor gets the ball

Strauss aur cook ke shammat rli

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Hafeez coming into the attack

C'mon feezy

 

[Fireworks11]

Hafeez comes on. The no nonsense guy.

 

[Sledger]

Prof time.

 

[Looney]

Mehmet Hafeez get a wicket

 

[Munna]

Hafeez should make up for his poor batting in this match now!

 

[saj001]

Strauss nervous.

 

[kkmix]

lolll cook will be gone soon

 

[slblack]

As this point in the test, I just want to voice my dislike for Rameez raja as a commentator.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Ideally like 2 wickets by close today

 

[Fireworks11]

Drift and blocked by strauss.

 

[carbon11]

to reflect on this series loss?

Why, when's their next test?

nah i meant 2 days is a lot of time, just needs someone like cook or the captain to play a big innings they definently have the players and talent to chase that score.

i thing biq question is how they play our spinners this time round, and how the pitch behaves especially that rough patch to the left handers

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

professor is on there will be some blood soon !

 

[Munna]

2 good balls!

 

[Sledger]

Strauss already playing it off the stumps. Hafeez needs to tweak one.

 

[Fireworks11]

Get him driving. Give it air and bowl it slow.

 

[chui_kadoo]

good over

 

[Munna]

This is interesting.. Spinners ko maza aayega

 

[Fireworks11]

Back cut not timed. Dot.

 

[Sledger]

Is Strauss trying to protect Cook how he protected Bell? The bunny guardian. :strauss

 

[chui_kadoo]

Gul bowling well

 

[Fireworks11]

Good carry. Dot.

 

[Sledger]

Last one for Gul unless he gets a wicket.

 

[carbon11]

good pace and carry by gully

 

[Fireworks11]

Off cutter dead batted.

 

[Khabri420]

Such an ugly sight to see Cook batting. Aur drop karo Taufeeq

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

If England win it will be their 2nd highest chase

 

[insaftak]

Time to bring on ajmal

 

[Fireworks11]

144kph by Gul. Nice.

 

[talha3]

Ramiz )

 

[anakwalajinn]

ok was that racist? :ramiz

 

[Munna]

Kp not in his batting attire yet.... I hope he'll have to rush soon!

 

[Fireworks11]

Cut to cover. Fielded.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nice politically incorrect comment by Raja

 

[MB]

Anyone else just cringe at Ramiz?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

ok was that racist? :ramiz

It was seriously dodgy hence the dead silence by Botham

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

2 to cook

 

[chui_kadoo]

16-0 after 7

 

[Sledger]

Ramiz.

 

[Fireworks11]

Glanced through mid on. 2 runs.

 

[saeed-sohail]

That drop was crucial.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ramiz.

what did he say?

 

[Sledger]

Two to Cook. 16/0.

 

[chui_kadoo]

rehman coming on

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Spin from both ends soon

 

[chui_kadoo]

Ramiz.

what did he say?

 

[IAJ]

Ramiz.

Stupid comment, really :dean jones

 

[Fireworks11]

Rehman comes on. Big man.

 

[cricfan4ever]

[Sledger]

Rehman replaces Hafeez.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Rambo

******* n' White

 

[JibranAnsari]

Stupid comment, really :dean jones

what did he say?

 

[Munna]

Wicket coming soon in a screen near u!

 

[Fireworks11]

Turn in and blocked.

 

[chui_kadoo]

strauss using his feet

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nice shot for nothing

 

[Sledger]

Perfectly pitched in the rough straight away - ball did nothing.

 

[Fireworks11]

Good flight. Tight.

 

[Fireworks11]

Down the pitch to short mid wicket.

 

[IAJ]

Why isn't Misbah attacking?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Good positive stuff by Strauss

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Batting well

 

[Fireworks11]

Single. 17/0.

 

[carbon11]

this pitch still looks good for batting

 

[saeed-sohail]

Strauss coming down the wicket is a good sign. It shows that he is worried about lbw.

 

[Sledger]

Good first over.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez changes ends

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Hafeez changes ends

 

[chui_kadoo]

Pitch seems flat still.

 

[Fireworks11]

Prof on and strauss is happy blocking.

 

[MB]

what did he say?

Stats from this match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_cricket_team_in_Australia_in_1928–29#Third_Test_.28Melbourne.29) from 1928 were on screen.

Ramiz began LOLing at the fact that a ******* got 6 wickets, and White got 5.

Edit: Ironic that a cricketer's name is censored

 

[carbon11]

the ball might start turning when the ball gets older inshallah

 

[IAJ]

what did he say?

They showed scorcard of Test match between Aus and Eng back in 1928.

One guy Black ie took a 5-for and there was another guy White who also took 5-for I think.

And he laughed at the names uttering Blacky and whitey .
