Pakistan vs England ~ First Test ~ Lords ~ Day One [Update Thread]

[James]

Mmmm, nice 4 from Cauliflower

 

[Easa]

4444

Very well played through the covers by Colly

 

[Sid100]

8 run so far fom the over

 

[ali_ed2006]

what is he saying about him ? hopefully he gets a wkt!

 

[Sid100]

10 runs off the over

 

[zMario]

Sigh.

 

[alghazzali]

So by the looks of it, Sami is still the same, Gul inconsistent, Kaneria still has to make a century before taking a wicket and Afridi as erratic as Gul.

Razzaq is the isolated positivity so far; it looks as if success with the ball will hinge on his experience.

 

[Easa]

The problem with Sami is that he's not bowling quick enough. When he first burst onto the scene he was 90 mph+, now he's in the mid 80's on average.

 

[Oxy]

Lol, Boycs is slating Sami as we speak.

4 runs off the over already...

Justifiably so.

He says hes a 'lovely lad - a smashing lad - a good looking lad with a lovely head of hair' )

 

[James]

what is he saying about him ? hopefully he gets a wkt!

That his bowling average is rubbish, that he won't win you tests, that he needs someone like Imran to make him pull his finger out. A pretty fair assessment tbh

 

[UJ]

Boycott: ".....Sami is a good looking lad...."

 

[inzidabest]

Can I bowl for Pakistan

Kaneria has actually bowled really well and was denied a wicket in his first over.

 

[James]

He says that all of them are lovely lads, but what I like is that he isn't afraid to slate the cricketing aspect of even the nicest guys.

 

[Easa]

C'mon Sami!

 

[pakistani pride]

no reverse ?

 

[James]

Not out, correct decision

 

[Nauman]

Oooh pitched outside leg stump.

 

[Easa]

Good delivery, would have been out but it pitched outside leg

 

[Nauman]

what the hell is Sami doing bowling at 82mph even Gul was quicker then him in his spell after lunch.

 

[pak4life]

so the hair cut has not worked

 

[zMario]

That was out.

 

[James]

That was out.

)

 

[IMMY69]

That was out.

 

[inzibhai]

just what is wrong with sami?

he can't even bowl one good over...he comes and bowl that "hit me ball" every over..

taking wicket is one thing but giving away 5-6 runs every over is just too much when you r the strike bolwer..

 

[iZeeshan]

Bit of a joke at the moment...gonna be very hard to pick up wickets. Imran Farhat SHOULD be crying right now.

 

[UJ]

Sami 0/50 from 10 overs bowled so far

 

[Raz]

what the hell is Sami doing bowling at 82mph even Gul was quicker then him in his spell after lunch.

Id assume it has something to do with the knee injury that he sustained not so long ago. He probably doesn't want to overdo it.

 

[iZeeshan]

The way Sami is bowling, it almost seems as though he doesn't want a wicket!

 

[Easa]

10-1-50-0

Sami's figures thus far.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

gul...heck razzaq seems quicker than sami....dont know when the luck will favor him...he never seems like taking a wicket....grrrrrrrrr

 

[inzibhai]

they are scoring runs at almost 4.5 runs per over...and if they batted another 25 overs, just add another runs to their total and we will be fighting back from there then...

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

and mr inzi dont wanna bring in afridi....

 

[Nauman]

Id assume it has something to do with the knee injury that he sustained not so long ago. He probably doesn't want to overdo it.

So why is he playing if he isnt 100 percent fit might aswell play that tundler called Niazi as he cant do worse then Sami to be honest.

 

[Fessal]

we need quick wickets asap

 

[whyhkk]

someone needs to get out or start hitting
this is getting boring

 

[Nauman]

someone needs to get out or start hitting
this is getting boring

With Sami into the attack you dont have to worry about start hitting part.

 

[UJ]

Collingwood gets 50....!!

 

[inzibhai]

yeah we need quick wickets now....

 

[TaZ]

Unless Sami gets a quick 5-fer even ive lost all faith in him forever

 

[James]

Good shot by Collingwood, been a very useful and sensible innings. Now its important he doesn't go mental like he did in Lahore, and brings up his hundred because its there for the taking.

 

[alghazzali]

Kaneria has actually bowled really well and was denied a wicket in his first over.

It doesn't make any difference, he'll still end up making a century or a half-century before taking a wicket, it's just the way it is, he might be unlucky , but we've said that about Sami for the last couple of years.

 

[TaZ]

Mr 3-0 and 4-0 being a pain in the ar$e again

 

[iZeeshan]

Well there's your wish...half of it...a four. Fifty for Colling, and 50 for my f-team.

ANd Nauman has a very good point. It would have been interesting to see Niazi, the left armer actually. Although, I am sure Inzi has told Sami to bowl slow because he doens't want another injury.

 

[James]

Mr 3-0 and 4-0 being a pain in the ar$e again

It would be class if we did win 4-0 and Collingwood was man of the series, he would be the most hated player in the history of PakPassion

 

[Easa]

Bring back Freedi

 

[Easa]

It would be class if we did win 4-0 and Collingwood was man of the series, he would be the most hated player in the history of PakPassion

Keep on dreaming

 

[James]

CMJ and Gus Fraser come onto commentary

 

[James]

Keep on dreaming

It was a joke...

 

[TaZ]

He already is

 

[iZeeshan]

Gonna go listen to some music...

This is getting very tiresome...

 

[pak4life]

only 3 maidens which shows the bowlers have been realy inconsistent

 

[Easa]

It was a joke...

And I was also joking

 

[James]

Gonna go listen to some music...

This is getting very tiresome...

gritting your teeth through partnerships are part of being a fan of your test team, if you cant accept that you won't be taking a wicket every 10 overs against a good team then you might as well give up already.

 

[iZeeshan]

How is it possible for Pakistan to make the worst of batsmen the best I.E Collingwood and Broad...And the best of batsmen, pretty bad I.E. KP, Tresco, and Strauss...

WHERE'S AFRIDI...

Collingwood is a good player

 

[majalani]

32.1 Sami to Collingwood, FOUR!!, short of length

42.2 Sami to Collingwood, FOUR!!, short of length


Sami need to use his grey matter, if he has got any

 

[HAFRIDI]

We should bring afridi back, i mean one over just coz he went for 6?

 

[HAFRIDI]

Dont worry lads, it's all good

 

[iZeeshan]

Man, you ARE really passionate...

 

[TaZ]

Bring on AFRIDI!

 

[shan]

bring back razaq and afridi

 

[shan]

Danish won't take a wicket before 100 runs

 

[James]

100 partnership up amidst all that - sack Inzy

 

[zMario]

im bored now

 

[iZeeshan]

I am starting to get the feeling that Razzaq is injured. The guy has got 2 wickets in 8 overs, surely he hasn't done anyting wrong...

 

[HAFRIDI]

[HAFRIDI]

100 partnership up amidst all that - sack Inzy

nah i gota better one

cancel the aus tour, were smashing the paks left right centre, we will get number 2 muhahahahaha

 

[Nauman]

This is getting boring now come on we need a wicket.

 

[shan]

Sami will never change because of his hight

 

[James]

First day of a 4 test series and people are giving up already. Before I wasn't sure if Oxy and Hash were exaggerating about the hysteria among supporters if Pak aren't on top all the time thru ODI and test series, but today has opened my eyes.

Pretty funny though mind you, especially since England are currently 1 or 2 wickets away from being on the ropes again.

 

[James]

Kaneria beats bat in a frightening fashion but its given not out.

 

[shan]

192/3

43 Cock
56 Collin

 

[iZeeshan]

This is getting boring now come on we need a wicket.

Surely you cannot be saying that dear old Nauman bhai. Or maybe ur jst being sarcastic. Or maybe, you wanna be like everyone else for a change.

 

[shan]

Finaly a good delivery from Kaneria

Thing is we fans, expect too much from our players, always.

anyway guys, where are the pak commies?

 

[Nauman]

That was out

 

[zMario]

Racist umpires...

 

[Oxy]

Man, you ARE really passionate...

Sensible more likely...

 

[iZeeshan]

Dissappointing officiating. Wrong descision again, sometimes for the better or not but this has to stop. There was clearly an edge. Kanny deserves his wicket.
