Pakistan vs England ~ First Test ~ Updates ~ Day Two

[inzidabest]

kuch karo

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

550+ on cards

More like 600+. Englands highest score V pak on the cards for sure. Plus a Colly triple ton.

 

[whyhkk]

Kaneria is like Kumble: a bowler who bowls well on spinning tracks or in the second innings

 

[Amir]

We all rate Danish too highly...I can't remember a single moment where he actually, single handedly won us a match. He's really bad, if you ask me.

No bowler can single handely win you a match, but he has been the center of our attack on many occasions. Such as Karachi v/ Sri Lanka, Jamaica v/ West Indies and Lahore v/ South Africa.

 

[zMario]

Yay, a maiden

 

[zMario]

Somethings gotta give , just 11 runs in 7 overs, a big shot or a wicket

 

[iZeeshan]

Why is everyone so critical of Sami. He hasn't bowled great, but he has bowled fine. Like I said before, what is he supposed to do? Take his own slip catch? Or umpire his own bowling?

 

[shan]

Two maidens for umar gul in a row WOW

 

[inzidabest]

Sami was ok. Gul is and was rubbish

 

[Easa]

England going along at snail's pace.

 

[zMario]

Maiden for Kaneria

 

[zMario]

Paaakistannn


ZINDAAABADD!

 

[shan]

Make them play as many overs as posible to get to 600

 

[zMario]

DANG IT GUL!!

A few more maidens, and 2 more wickets would've fallen!

 

[iZeeshan]

No bowler can single handely win you a match, but he has been the center of our attack on many occasions. Such as Karachi v/ Sri Lanka, Jamaica v/ West Indies and Lahore v/ South Africa.

But Amir, there have been many times where I saw Shoaib Akhtar and Waqar Younis, and even Mohammad Sami and Asif at times, bring Pakistan back into the match without any help from anybody. Of course there will be others that take wickets, but its not gonna be important. As I saw, no one right now rates Sami's wicket at all.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

i sense a wicket inshallah! come on boys rally behind the lads...they have given us amazing victories from the jaws of defeat in the recent past!

 

[zMario]

i sense a wicket inshallah! come on boys rally behind the lads...they have given us amazing victories from the jaws of defeat in the recent past!

We're not at the jaws of defeat. Not yet, anyway

 

[Easa]

Colly has scored 1 run in the last 8 odd overs after lunch.

 

[zMario]

Oooo, almost a slower ball in full toss

 

[iZeeshan]

She paints really well...

 

[Easa]

Kaneria needs to develop a flipper, agree with Athers

 

[Easa]

Very optimistic appeal

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

No bowler can single handely win you a match, but he has been the center of our attack on many occasions. Such as Karachi v/ Sri Lanka, Jamaica v/ West Indies and Lahore v/ South Africa.

Mo Asif on the Sri Lanka tour won the match single handedly. Mushy beat Aussies in Brisbane with 12 wickets in the match and countless others do around the world.

Apart from the 3rd inns of a match where Kaneria averages 23, his 1st,2nd,4th inns averages are 30 + runs per wicket. His fourth inns stats are pathetic, only 14 wickets @33.50. All the pre series hype he gets before every series makes me laugh.

 

[zMario]

That was out. We hate you Bucknor!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Come on Kaneria, just 7 more runs.

 

[Easa]

Yet another maiden... England have slowed down after lunch.

 

[zMario]

Wow, yet another maiden!

 

[Easa]

That was out. We hate you Bucknor!!

 

[Easa]

439-4

 

[Easa]

Colly 185*, Bell 47*

 

[whyhkk]

I do wonder why does he get so much hype
His average is as good as Afridi's

 

[zMario]

You know Easa, maybe our bowling has become better after lunch, and it's not England's decision to bat more slowly

 

[Billy]

I do wonder why does he get so much hype
His average is as good as Afridi's

Who?

 

[Easa]

You know Easa, maybe our bowling has become better after lunch, and it's not England's decision to bat more slowly

They have not even TRIED to attack one ball since the resumption

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Bell is doing the right thing he is biding his time to get to fifty likewise Collingwood for his double ton. When they reach their landmark they will step on the gas again. I think pea brain Farhat should watch and learn.

 

[Easa]

Who?

Kaneria

 

[pak4life]

14 wides in a test match not impressive

 

[inzidabest]

come on wicket now. They should have bowled like this right from the start

 

[iZeeshan]

No such thing as better bowling when there is no wicket

 

[Easa]

Bell is doing the right thing he is biding his time to get to fifty likewise Collingwood for his double ton. When they reach their landmark they will step on the gas again. I think pea brain Farhat should watch and learn.

No need for that

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Who?

Kaneria the bowler with a strike rate of 60 OVERS not deliveries.

 

[whyhkk]

Who?

Kaneria = 31.5
Afridi = 32.5

 

[zMario]

Well, maybe they're respecting the bowling Easa. Geez )

 

[Easa]

14 wides, 14 no balls, byes.

36 extras

 

[Billy]

Kaneria = 31.5
Afridi = 32.5

He's only young for a leggie, he'll get better.

 

[zMario]

I'm gonna laugh if Kaneria gets a wicket with that thing on his thumb

 

[INZItheman]

The state of this bowling is making me cry!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

No need for that

I said that because he throws his wicket away with a silly shot when he seems to be comfortable at the crease. His gets out at bad times for the team and himself such as an over before lunch,tea or close of play.

 

[Shayan]

great ball

 

[Easa]

OUT!

Beautiful delivery

 

[whyhkk]

yes stumped out Kaneria gets Colly

 

[zMario]

BOWLED!!

Yeah!

 

[Shayan]

I'm gonna laugh if Kaneria gets a wicket with that thing on his thumb

laugh!

 

[zMario]

Or wait is he stumped?

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Come on Cauli and ghanti - hit danish for two boundaries and we can finally pick up another wicket!

 

[Easa]

Colly goes for 186, well played SIR.

Kaneria - great delivery, great stumping

 

[zMario]

laugh!

Ok. ) ) )

 

[Shayan]

lets finish things off quickly now, under 500 would be great

 

[Billy]

It'll be interesting to see how much England make now.

Not too many more I should.. although you never know. Bell may yet make a ton.

 

[iZeeshan]

And our Kanny bhai picks up a wicket...

I am too stunned to say anything *clap clap*

 

[Easa]

Stumped, lured him with flight, dragged him out of the crease, classic leg spinners dismissal

 

[zMario]

Now we gotta get em all out before they get 500

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

right on cue!!!

 

[inzidabest]

GONE!!!! Ha ha Ha

 

[Easa]

441-5

 

[Shayan]

441-5, i think Danish will finish things off quickly

 

[Easa]

Wicket maiden, well bowled

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

He's only young for a leggie, he'll get better.

If you compare him to good bowlers forget legends like Warne or Murali he is steady at best. I find it silly the hype he gets as if he is the ultimate threat Pakistan pose to opponents. He should be recognised for what he is, just steady spinner.

 

[iZeeshan]

Btw, I am surprised Bucknor/Tauful didn't object...

 

[Tupac]

brilliant bowling danish!

 

[zMario]

Wicket maiden, well bowled

I told you it was our brilliant bowling that made them bat slow!

 

[Shayan]

Razzaq should come on instead of Gul

 

[whyhkk]

not bad Kaneria got his first wicket before 100 (@93)

 

[zMario]

Btw, I am surprised Bucknor/Tauful didn't object...

They didn't think they would get him out

 

[iZeeshan]

Maybe we can get a session to bat...no...drop catches and bad desicions are on their way

 

[Shayan]

2 to Bell, moves on to 49

 

[Shayan]

443-5

 

[Osman]

regardless of a flat pitch or not pakistan should look to clean up Englands lower order and tail quickly.

 

[Osman]

Razzaq should come on instead of Gul

very true

 

[Shayan]

not that anyone cares i guess.... .but both Collingwood and Bell are in my fantasy cricket team. I only left out Cook at the last minute as well!
