[MMHS]

french kyun?

Trying to learn workable French....

 

[Strike Rate]

Trying to learn workable French....

Cool good luck

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Oh shut up botham. Attacks us at every chance. Nasser shouldve been there instead of this guy. Or holding

 

[winchester]

Atherton laying it out to Botham...

The English spinners aren't just good enough !

 

[Watsupdoc]

Broad - 9 overs 1 run and 1 wicket. Unbelievable stuff.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz shouldnt attack broad too much

 

[hussain.r97]

Finally a run off Broad!

 

[taqi]

Old Misbah is back below 30 S.R

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Broad economy of 0.2. What a legend. Ambrose couldn't have done that

 

[Robert]

Broad - 9 overs 1 run and 1 wicket. Unbelievable stuff.

He's been hit for another run now. Chef will have to take him off if he keeps haemorrhaging at this rate.

 

[cricketjoshila]

England are playing 6 bowlers.This is Pakistans test to lose.I dont see England winning with 5 batsmen.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Signature, which is not really a signature

Its positive in a way

 

[hussain.r97]

Broad leaking runs, now he's conceded 4

 

[MMHS]

Out field is exceptionally slow, I think PAK has crossed 200 effectively. Compared to this, out fields in Indian grounds are like Auto Bann.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need at least 300 here.

 

[Justcrazy]

England are playing 6 bowlers.This is Pakistans test to lose.I dont see England winning with 5 batsmen.

They are all rounders

 

[marlonbrowndo]

England are playing with all allrounders except anderson and broad who can bat. We can win but wont be that easty

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good hitting by misbah now

 

[zabalestmsm]

Misbah has been a nightmare for Rashid ha ha!

 

[The_KING]

King with 2 to Rashid.

 

[waleed88]

Lol samit Patel is a hack I can't see why he was picked?

Is it coz he is a desi that they think he will do well against us?

 

[The_KING]

Sarfraz edges another one to slip. Misbah should have a word with him.

 

[Barragan]

The pitch seems to have stopped misbehaving for the spinners

Had a fear of this happening and not good signs for us

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good partnership

 

[winchester]

England are playing 6 bowlers.This is Pakistans test to lose.I dont see England winning with 5 batsmen.

Adil Rashid coming in at 8 has an average of 35 in country cricket with 10 hundreds

 

[Yatoo]

These two need to survive the day. Especially the new ball.



But but even if misbah survives today, will he be able to score even a single run tomorrow?

 

[Sam1]

Adil Rashid coming in at 8 has an average of 35 in country cricket with 10 hundreds

8 will probably actually be Samit Patel with a fc average of 37 and 22 100s, Rashid will get pushed down to 9.

 

[WC-Passion]

Sarfraz needs to play slowly here, he's prone to giving his wicket away

 

[cricketjoshila]

Adil Rashid coming in at 8 has an average of 35 in country cricket with 10 hundreds

County Cricket isnt test cricket.How much does Moeen Ali avg?We know hoe he bats.

 

[Yatoo]

Anderson is averaging 16 this series with 9 wickets. But he hasn't had much of impact.

So Anderson or broads average is UAE doesn't give the real picture

Pakistan has Milked the spinners blocked the fast bowlers

 

[The_KING]

Does Sarfraz know how to play defensively? Every shot that he plays is an aggressive one.

 

[WC-Passion]

Stokes vs Misbah again possibly?

 

[Barragan]

What is that tool ramiz talking about?

Complete......

 

[Sam1]

County Cricket isnt test cricket.How much does Moeen Ali avg?We know hoe he bats.

Worth pointing out that Ali plays in the 2nd division and is currently playing in a position he's never filled in fc cricket before.

 

[winchester]

8 will probably actually be Samit Patel with a fc average of 37 and 22 100s, Rashid will get pushed down to 9.

Well great !!!

 

[winchester]

County Cricket isnt test cricket.How much does Moeen Ali avg?We know hoe he bats.

Adil showed in the last game he is more than handy with the bat.....
Looked at ease against Yasir untill his dismissal !

 

[cricketjoshila]

Worth pointing out that Ali plays in the 2nd division and is currently playing in a position he's never filled in fc cricket before.

Lets see then who is proved right.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Adil showed in the last game he is more than handy with the bat.....
Looked at ease against Yasir untill his dismissal !

And that dismissal proved he is no batsman.

 

[Sam1]

And that dismissal proved he is no batsman.

And I guess Younis' dismissal today proved he's no batsman as well? What kind of logic is that...

 

[Haroon786]

Umpires wasting time.

 

[cricketjoshila]

And I guess Younis' dismisall today proved he's no batsman as well? What kind of logic is that...

Go watch the replay of that dismissal and we know the position of the match.Any sensible batsman will dead defend not get sucked into a floated over flighted delivery like a tailender.

 

[winchester]

And that dismissal proved he is no batsman.

Those 170 deliveries proved that most teams would envy someone like him coming in at nine....

Rubbish bowler though !

 

[Sam1]

Go watch the replay of that dismissal and we know the position of the match.Any sensible batsman will dead defend not get sucked into a floated over flighted delivery like a tailender.

Just like 'any sensible batsman' should have done during Pakistan's second innings in the first test? Oh wait, how did Misbah get out again? Making a judgement that someone is a bad batsman after getting out to a loose shot after an incredible innings in a single game is illogical.

 

[razabbas]

Kon injured hogaya anyways great stop

 

[RehanG]

Kon injured hogaya anyways great stop

Stokes

 

[The_KING]

Stokes dislocates his shoulder. Hope he is ok.

 

[Haroon786]

Stokes injured.

 

[Watsupdoc]

That looks serious. Great effort from stokes, but this looks painful.

 

[Haroon786]

Thought it was Broad initially but it's Stokes with the tattooed arms.

 

[IAJ]

Looked nasty. This was a real effort, he was so concerned about the catch that he didn't care about his own well-being.

 

[IAJ]

Misbah gets his revenge for stokes giving him abuse last test

Poor post.

 

[Sam1]

Nearly a stunning catch, hopefully the injury isnt as bad as it looks and hes ok.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Looks like stokes will be out of the match now.

 

[WC-Passion]

Doesn't look good for Stokes..

 

[Markhor]

Stokes does his shoulder in, walking off the field with the physio. Big blow for England.

 

[t_kaay]

Poor post.

Get a grip, it was a tongue in cheek comment.

 

[razabbas]

And another fifty for king misbah

 

[WC-Passion]

Misbah is just class. Big fan.

 

[The_KING]

KING with his 4 consecutive 50 and people say he should retire.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Sharp turn for moeen

 

[Haroon786]

Well played captain.

 

[Markhor]

Good recovery is this but still lot of work to do. Can't afford any further loss of wickets for the rest of the day. Should look for around 300 as a 1st innings score.

 

[Ahson8]

Another 100 here, and we should be good inshaAllah.

 

[Barragan]

Stupid shot

 

[Pakcricket89]

Sarfraz

 

[Markhor]

Idiot. Oh what a gift that was from Sarfraz.

 

[Shafi]

Congratulation Misbah to show haters how to tackle pressure and not be walking wicket against pace just like YK, Hafeez and even Azhar.

 

[WC-Passion]

Sarfraz doing another Umar Akmal

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What the hell sarfraz

 

[hussain.r97]

What the hell Sarfraz

 

[IAJ]

What on earth Sarfraz

 

[The_KING]

Well done Sarfraz.

 

[Red Devil]

Oh come on yaaar.

 

[Abdullah]

Gracious me . What a stroke

 

[a_jawad]

Misbah haters keep hating!

 

[winchester]

@&$7$%%7gsydfhxhdu*$6$;$#/!!-;!

 

[Pakcricket89]

Tail wont survive long here with ball turning sharbly

 

[Markhor]

Why ?

 

[hussain.r97]

Both Sarfraz and Azhar have been horrible since they came back from Hajj. Probably lack of practice?

 

[Haroon786]

That was so Afridian.
