Pakistan beginning to leak to many runs here. Need to dry runs up and force a mistake. On such a surface partnerships are bound to occur at some point. Even so we cant allow england back in match here!
 
Hope we can keep them under 200. England really have good batting down to no.9. One more wicket and things will get easier InshaAllah.
 
Rubbish captaincy here for bowling Cheema and Gul in this session ... There is no freakin assistance for fast bowlers here, and you have 3 spinnerss, use themmm.
 
Waqar: When he doesn't get it right, then it's not really pleasing to the eyes. :)))
 
Misbah was being smart and saying no way son but Gul begged for it.
 
Somewhat even session, but Pakistan still won it.

139/7, Pakistan well on top.

Gul perhaps needs time off from test cricket as he's struggled off late in the test arena.

What do you guys think?

Never seen him as a Test bowler, he lacks the cricketing brain for it, despite his skills with the new ball.

If he's in the Test squad, it's thanks to his exploits in ODI-Tests (and even there nowadays...) but far from being the spearhead of our bowling attack, as he wishes.
 
Wow.

Gul has to go. Cant even get tailenders out and now the useless bowler wants retarded reviews taken.

Seriously the time has come for this mediocrity to end. Wahab, Junaid and Talha are all better than him.
 
Prior always scores when it matters, probably the best WK/bat in the game now
 
Need to attack with Ajmal, Hafeez & Rehman after Tea and bundle them out under 200.
 
So why is Hafeez/Ajmal not bowling?

Its like they want to give england some runs to play with rather than finish them off as fast as possible.
 
Our #7 and #9 are showing that this surface can be batted on.

Pakistan can just tuk tuk all day tomorrow and set up a win.
 
Worst review ever, anyone would know its not out and especially Gul the retard as he is hardly moving the ball.

Aye, missed a trick not playing Montster, need two spinners for this track, looks completely dead.

Couldve sent them back after 150 if we showed a bit of killer instinct.

Gul has infinitely disappointed me. Just doesnt have the aggression anymore like Shoaib did.

Only thing worse than the sterile bowling by gul is the decision by the captin to have him on rather than the guy who gave just 3 runs in 5 overs and took a wicket or the guy who made all of their batsmen look like middle schoolers.
 
So it seems the negativity and knee-jerk reactions of PPers hasn't stopped. Lol at this negativity.
 
Get em all out today and tuk tuk for next 2 days and post 500. Lead of around 300 should be enough to get inning win.
