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

[Nauman]

Another wide crappy delivery from Sami.

 

[Raz]

Full ball, edge from Strauss and went through 3rd slip that was removed by Inzi.

Sami unlucky again!!

 

[Jedi Knight]

let off for england no 3rd slip!!!

 

[zMario]

KIS KI SUM BOWLING TA!!!

Edged, and no man

 

[Nauman]

I honestly dont blame Inzi here, had the bowlers been any decent I am sure he would have had 3 slips.

 

[UJ]

30/0

4 to strauss through the covers

Sami unlucky again!!

Not unlucky it was Sami's crappy bowling early on which forced Inzi to take out the third slip.

 

[slix10]

Damn. Really missing Asif/Shoaib/Rana here.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Well done mota!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

when is kaneria coming on

 

[Raz]

I honestly dont blame Inzi here, had the bowlers been any decent I am sure he would have had 3 slips.

That is ridiculous and you know it.

Inzi was the one to blame, no one else. Sami did what he had to do, he got the brought the edge but Inzi's removal of the 3rd slip meant he didnt get a wicket.

 

[Jedi Knight]

It could be a long, long day.

 

[hassan_21]

Well done mota!

Ops please take notice of this.

 

[Nauman]

That is ridiculous and you know it.

Captain needs to have confidence in his bowlers that they will consistently bowl at one spot to get the edge when you have crappy bowlers like Sami and Gul bowling all over the place how do you expect the captain to set an attacking field?

 

[Raz]

Not unlucky it was Sami's crappy bowling early on which forced Inzi to take out the third slip.

He bowled 1 bad delivery that was too full apart from that the other boundary was a risky shot, and apart from that he has bowled well. Please look at things with hindsight instead of looking at with your hatred of Sami in mind.

 

[Easa]

Kaneria being wasted at midon, there should be a man on the drive imo.

 

[Nauman]

England going at 7 runs per over.

 

[UJ]

Strauss gets 4 to square leg

39/0

 

[zMario]

Oi yaaaaar this is terrible, so expensive now

 

[hassan_21]

Holding crapping his pants yet again. beginning to sound like the acc he is becoming in this late age. harping on and on about Kaneria being at mid on. where would you have him, in third slip or short cover? good luck with him taking any catches there. he's more likely to split his webbing. its somethine we just have to deal with!

 

[Nauman]

You should look at how crappy Sami is before looking at your undying love for Sami.

 

[Raz]

He put in a short extra cover, which wasnt the problem but he should not have had the mid on there as Holding has been saying. Instead of that fielder a 3rd slip should have been there.

 

[Easa]

Smashed away

Poor, poor bowling.

 

[Shayan]

boundaries aplenty

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Let's be patient! I hope U Gul and M Sami keep their heads!

ahh another 4!

 

[Shayan]

43-0

 

[Nauman]

Strauss and Trescothick would never have faced suck crappy bowlers before in their career.

 

[the_game]

This pace attack seems so toothless. Kinda sad, really.

 

[zMario]

WHAT KIND OF HUMPTY DUMPTY BOWLING IS THIS

UNKA RUN RATE DEKHO!

Sigh.

 

[Raz]

44-0 after 6

 

[slix10]

Good heavens.

Put on Afridi.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

dude where is gul pitching the ball....does he know how to bowl with new ball....kya ho raha hai...aaree yeh kya ho raha hai

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Looks like the bowlers are getting strauss back into form.

 

[wazim87]

ESPN aint showing in Pak? Anyone have any info
PTV aint either. odd

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Is that Rameez Raja on test match special?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Get Razzaq on I guess.

 

[UJ]

Just seems like Sami and Gul are a little nervous...

This is now quite a good start for England

 

[Bailan]

The Wrist Slitting Brigade is here ....





*aside: England riding their luck, sooner or later it will run out

 

[Pakistani tigers]

It is the Lord's wiclet as well which makes the new bowlers struggle...be patient...inshallah wicket coming soon.

 

[slix10]

Just seems like Sami and Gul are a little nervous...

Either too nervous or too confident.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

So much for our "saviour" gul!

 

[Bailan]

Why are they discussing the gread andrew caddick? i am sure there are better bowlers around to pull from the past....

 

[the_game]

Nobody slitting wrists yaara. Sami looks his usual self (which is crap), but Gul needs to tighten up.

 

[zMario]

ESPN aren't allowed to show - Ramiz Raja is commentating, who is a part of Ten Sports network.

)

 

[Easa]

Gul's 3 overs have cost him 23 runs.

 

[Nauman]

PTV World is, one of Super Sports is I dont know which one and Ten Sports is also showing it, I am watching it on Ten Sports.

 

[hassan_21]

So much for our "saviour" gul!

dont your insides burn with all that negativity? maybe you should try getting some fresh air or sunlight every once in a while.

 

[majalani]

I don't think Gul has bowled at Lords before, so he might be struggling with the slope.

 

[the_game]

[Easa]

Why is Gul still bowling?

 

[inzibhai]

good confi start by eng...a player like Andrew S is going at above 100 sr...itnay buray din aa gaye hain hum logo kay...

 

[Amir]

God help us, Botham is commentating!

 

[wazim87]

Yea I got TEN, but the ESPN schedule has it down as LIVE, very odd

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Hmm. Wonder if Waqar has made any difference being the bowling coach for these guys. I'm sure Waqar of the 2001-2003 period would be getting smacked around too.

 

[Easa]

Well bowled, play and miss.

 

[in_cutter]

My, Eng going along nicely

 

[shan]

hadh hoti hain baqwas bowling ki

 

[zMario]

Wow, beats outside edge.

Why can't we get the outside edge

 

[banana_246]

WOW, Pakistan is getting murdered

 

[hassan_21]

I think youve hit the nail right on the head. its all Wiki's fault. lets all stone his house in Pak. better yet, who has the number of the effigie maker?

 

[Easa]

49-0

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

I'm not watching but it sounds like there is some assistance for bowlers if they get it in the right place.

 

[Saqib]

You can expect on this pitch, and also we don't have a good strike bowler who can make early inroad or take 1 or 2 wickets. We realy needed Rana or Shoaib here.

 

[the_game]

I'm not watching but it sounds like there is some assistance for bowlers if they get it in the right place.

Yeah there is, but Gul and Sami are both trying to be fancy and Strauss and Tresco are leaving the good balls easily.

 

[UJ]

Tresco through the covers

52/0

 

[RX]

someone please give me a video link!!!

 

[Amir]

Lets hope this is Razzaq's test! But there is alot of carry, Harmison can be very lethal on this track as long as it stays overcast....if th esun comes out, it is suppos eto bake teh pitch and make it dead.

 

[Nauman]

someone please give me a video link!!!

Why would you want to watch Pakistan getting hammered.

 

[Shayan]

54-0

haha but it doesn't matter
so please someone give me a video link PLEASE!!!!!

 

[zMario]

*Looks up in the air, and sighs really loudly, at 4:41 AM local time*

 

[Easa]

GUYS, don't give up so easily, the first session is not even over yet!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Rameez just "left"!

 

[Amir]

RX Why dont you go buy one instead of coming in on the morning of the match and pleaing with everyone to give a free link....i hate people like that, woh message me in the morning(not like i know anything)

 

[Shayan]

haha but it doesn't matter
so please someone give me a video link PLEASE!!!!!

are you willing to pay?

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Sami starting to find a decent length, needs to keep it up. Gul looking useful despite a few bad balls.

Pak fielding a pretty inexperienced side for this match, seniors really need to lead the way.

Guys, England looking pretty comfortable so far, but it's, early days yet. Yes we are really missing Rana who would have been a handful on this pitch, but we need to be patient and wickets will come Insh'allah!

55-0

 

[PlanetPakistan]

GUYS, don't give up so easily, the first session is not even over yet!

True!
Gul seems to be nervous, i am sure he will bowl better!

 

[Easa]

Tresco beaten.
