9 off the first over, i reckon Gul could e effective here, use the slope like McGrath did, get the ball moving away from the left handers

excellent first ball, jagged away off the seam.

 

[zMario]

I want Sami out of the attack now. 9 Runs Off The FIRST over

[Easa]

Very wide.

 

[Shayan]

14-0

 

[Nauman]

Business for Sami as usual, I told you people that he wouldnt be any different.

 

[zMario]

This is humpty dumpty bowling yaaar

 

[Easa]

Apparently, there's no speed gun.

 

[Shayan]

decent over so far, apart from the one exception

 

[Easa]

Gul bowling a good over so far except for the 5 wides.

14-0 (1.4)

 

[Shayan]

Business for Sami as usual, I told you people that he wouldnt be any different.

[Sid100]

[Easa]

Very well bowled, Umar Gul.

14-0 after 2 overs.

 

[Oxy]

7 Pak players making their debut at Lords - that is a problem for Pak, so lets not be too harsh early on wth our inexperienced line-up.

 

[zMario]

Relax - just the first over... a whole days play is remaining.

Exactly, so we gotta get Sami out of the attack NOW

 

[Nauman]

Sami has already had way too many chances.

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Well here we go , 1st day of the test match and the series. Come on Pakistan!
14-0.

 

[Jedi Knight]

86.2 mph for sami's first ball in his 2nd over

 

[Easa]

Sami - 86.2 MPH

There is a speed gun.

 

[Oxy]

I want Sami out of the attack now. 9 Runs Off The FIRST over

Only 89 overs left in the day....

 

[Shayan]

87.3 mph for Sami

 

[Easa]

87.3, well bowled.

 

[Oxy]

Exactly, so we gotta get Sami out of the attack NOW

I do collect such quotes....

 

[Shayan]

better 2nd over so far from Sami

 

[zMario]

Oxy, you must be one of the "Sami will own" people.

 

[Easa]

Well bowled, jagged back, Decent pace, 87 mph.

 

[Jedi Knight]

Samis top speed in that over was 87.4mph

Cranking it up nicely.

 

[Raz]

14-0 after 3

Maiden from Sami that last over

 

[Easa]

MAIDEN from Sami.

 

[Nauman]

better 2nd over so far from Sami

He is bowling on the legs its the batsman who is to be blamed for not hitting them for boundaries.

 

[zMario]

) Sami got a maiden.

If he bowls 3 or 4 more tight overs, maybe he will get a wicket!

 

[Raz]

84.3mph from Gul

 

[Team Slayer]

Guys, how fast is sami bowling?

[zMario]

I go back to what I said, this is humpty dumpty bowling

 

[Jedi Knight]

gul bowling too short, he needs to pitch it up further...

 

[Nauman]

Holding says: Both M.Sami and Gul giving the batsmen too many sighters and I couldnt agree more.

 

[Nauman]

[Shayan]
