Pakistan v England | First Test | Day 3: Session 3 | Trent Bridge | 31/07/10

[Big Mac]

Malik has been told in the past that he's not allowed to bowl the doosra as his elbow isn't within the allowable degree of extension

63.5
Shoaib Malik to Finn, no run, 55.5 mph, hmm, was that the doosra? It seemed to spin the other way and Finn defended

It was an outswinger not a doosra.

 

[chui_kadoo]

good stuff from finn. Allowing prior to have a chance to get a hundred

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Both sides have no clue what they are doing.

 

[pak4life]

Butt trying his best to delay going out to bat

 

[chui_kadoo]

DAMM. "RUN MACHINE" is back on

 

[iafzal]

Butt trying his best to delay going out to bat

There is no explantion on why bowling the partimers from both end except to delay batting. One over from Gul and Aamer should do the trick but then Butt will have to bat in these conditions. Two low scores and he knows many will be callng for his head.
Playing for himself really.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I hope "Run Machine" gets tonked so he doesnt play in the next test

 

[Big Mac]

Bumble Just bowled a flipper into the camera

 

[Oxy]

Bumble!

Class!

 

[Paradox]

BUMBLE ) ) ) that was absolutely hilarious! What a flipper!!!

 

[Oxy]

And a replay!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bumble nearly smashes the camera trying a flipper. )

Danny boy to get a comfort wicket.

 

[kingusama92]

) Bumble is hilarious..

"Poor coaching". )

 

[ahmed16]

I think Butt has realised there is no hope.

Also does Malik bowl the doosra?

 

[KingKhanWC]

400 lead. Strauss is not strong enough to declare tonight.

 

[Paradox]

FOUR. I have absolutely NO idea why they can't bowl Asif/Aamer/Gul now, why Kaneria?!?!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Run Machine tonked again for 4. What a rubbish ball. Why bring him back on. I would rather give farthead a bowl

 

[chui_kadoo]

will prior get a 100

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lead 404

Prior wants to reach a 100

 

[Maula Jutt]

FOUR. I have absolutely NO idea why they can't bowl Asif/Aamer/Gul now, why Kaneria?!?!

No use tiring them further when there are high chances that these three will probably be our best run makers too.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Finn wants to get a lot of batting practice too which he is

Good defence young lad! LOL!

 

[Khabri420]

Just get the fast bowlers in. Finn is not looking troubled at all against these two.

 

[chui_kadoo]

good stuff from finn

 

[GLORY OF '92]

What a ***** bowler kaneria is!

 

[Boi]

Hmm...another doosra from Malik?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Zulqarnain chatting away to some English boys!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Strauss, just declare already!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Prior to get some physio

So is Finn

for facing some doosras from Malik!

 

[KingKhanWC]

FOUR. I have absolutely NO idea why they can't bowl Asif/Aamer/Gul now, why Kaneria?!?!

Two reasons I assume.

1. They have bowled 48 of the 63 overs.

2. Improve the over rate, which I think is a bit behind.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Prior should take "run machine" to the cleaners now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England has a proper chance of knocking 2-3 wickets tonight of Pakistan with a possible 24 overs still remaining in the day

 

[Paradox]

This is a farce. Kamran and Farhat even laughing at how Prior and Finn are taking so long

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan will probably face 10 overs tonight if they do!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Prior

 

[chui_kadoo]

"RUN MACHINE" gives six more. Dont it just make u cry

 

[Deewana Mastana]

85 for Prior

 

[ads101]

lol kaneria

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another one

Into the 90's now Prior

 

[chui_kadoo]

If this isnt the end of Run machine then nothing will end his career

 

[Warfare]

What the hell is wrong with Butt? Get Asif and Aamer bowling.

 

[Paradox]

lol Kaneria.

 

[tauseefm]

Kaneria should be sent home FOREVER after this test match period

 

[chui_kadoo]

My senses are proving me right. Prior is likely to get a 100

 

[Boi]

)

Kaneria's career coming to an end...

 

[insurge]

Economy rates of Amin and Malik TOGETHER isn't as high as Kaneria's. Shameful stuff.

 

[Amir]

Poor captaincy from Butt. Should have brought Asif back on to get the last wicekt.

 

[Anfield]

if there ever was doubt about Kaneria's place in team, well that should be gone now. Whipping boy of every opponent is Danish.

 

[Gollum]

Strauss waiting for Prior hundred. Tough batting period ahead for Pakistan.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pathetic stuff from Kaneria.

 

[Amir]

Strauss just batting as long as they can so Pak won't bat in the sun.

 

[Dr. Khan]

lanaat Kaneria

 

[rajachoudhary50]

i guess prior got msg - try to get 100 a s a p... we hafta decl

 

[hur rizvi]

Surely they will declare after Prior's 100

 

[chui_kadoo]

I did predict a 450 lead. Looks like i was right.

 

[Warfare]

Whats the point in bowling spinners to the last pair?

 

[Blitz]

World Record chase on AGAIN! What is this, our 3rd try in 4 test matches? We have to do it sometime...the law of averages demands it.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England pretty much wasting time here

I dont mind it as a Pak supporter! LOL

 

[midaz]

Did Pak fielders miss any catches today?

 

[Gollum]

Its official now. Pakistan will have to chase record total to win this match.

 

[Amir]

Whats the point in bowling spinners to the last pair?

So we make it easy for PRior to get his 100.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I think Butt is trying to end "run machine's" career by persisting with him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

420 the lead

 

[Deewana Mastana]

248/9

 

[chui_kadoo]

What is "run machine's" economy rate anyone?

 

[hur rizvi]

PAkistan are wasting time like it is last hour of 5th days play

 

[AZ]

give him his 100 and end this crap already!

 

[Warfare]

So Kaneria bowls again. *** Butt?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

what is "run machine's" economy rate anyone?

6.88

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Surely Kaneria will give Prior his century in this over

He cant be that selfish now! LOL

 

[chui_kadoo]

the question is will Kaneria get a 100 today

 

[hashbb]

Poor captaincy from Butt. Should have brought Asif back on to get the last wicekt.

doesn't want :aamir to get injured, and he knows were going to loose this match so he's giving them rest

 

[KingKhanWC]

World Record chase on AGAIN! What is this, our 3rd try in 4 test matches? We have to do it sometime...the law of averages demands it.

)

Lords was a better chance, this time it's near impossible.

Kaneria still going, prior will be looking to get to his ton, qucik.

 

[hur rizvi]

What is "run machine's" economy rate anyone?

6.88


Anything under 7 is good

 

[Dr. Khan]

looking at the bowlers in operation with Finn at the crease, it seems like the captain has thrown in the towel already.

making we are helping Prior out with his career, I do not know.

 

[Poison]

Pakistan have been waiting on the declaration since the fall of the 9th wicket.

 

[Anfield]

hope Prior gets out right here..


edit: nvm Kaneria's back in so pretty much a guarantee that he'll get to 100.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

I hope prior gets out before getting 100 .

 

[chui_kadoo]

that will be back to back centuries for kaneria if he does

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Single to Prior

Finn back on

Not what Kaneria wanted though

 

[nads_rocks]

I hope somebody shuts Kamran's mouth he's getting so annoying with all this 'shaabash' and 'well bowled' he hasnt done anything in this and what are the chances he'll get out for under 15 in the 2nd innings? 99%, this game is out of reach when the lead went passed 250, Pakistan cannot chase anything above 200 to save their lives this is gonna b another crumble with 2 days still remaining they will go out and play horrible shots like they have 50 overs to chase this score! Watching Matt Prior taking it to the bowlers says it all really.

On another note, I feel really bad for Aamer, Asif and somewhat Gul, but Kaneria has to go no matter how good he may be or may have been he has to sit out the rest of the tour!
