Pakistan vs England ~ First Test ~ Updates ~ Day Two

[Billy]

You'd be disappointed if your team couldn't get 500-550 from here, esp with the lack of potency about the attack.

I'd be extremely happy with about 450 to be honest.

England's 7,8,9 just isn't strong enough to back up the batsman for those kind of scores.

 

[Easa]

As I say that, he plays a very good shot for 444.

 

[Oxy]

Pipe stopped play...

 

[Hache]

flurry of boundaries for England in 1st half an hour of 2nd day's play....

Quickly onto 4/346

Surprisingly - great starts seldom lead to huge totals....whereas indifferent starts, with mid/lower order rear guard action can see teams getting 600+. Weird

 

[Nauman]

Need to control the run rate, when run rate is down wickets automatically come.

 

[safehands46]

collingwood is going to pass imrans highest score. its sickening the level of cricket that is being played.

 

[Easa]

Good yorker Gul

348-4

 

[Easa]

Pipe stopped play...

 

[zMario]

Why the hell is Gul bowling on his pads?

 

[Hache]

350 up for England, Pommies sailing along......

4/351

 

[Easa]

351-4

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

the bowling been wayward sicne cook departed

 

[Easa]

Poor bowling, beautiful cover drive.

 

[Zeenix]

Why the hell is Gul bowling on his pads?

so that England can declare quickly

 

[Hache]

Another half dolly, another four for Bell, he's quickly onto 21*

4/355

 

[HAFRIDI]

so that England can declare quickly

) )

oh yes u make sense

 

[Easa]

Sami 87.2 MPH, but the line and length is poor.

 

[zMario]

Sigh...

 

[Easa]

Why did you change your avatar to Sami, Haf? He's been useless so far.

 

[zMario]

Put Razzaq on Inzamam!

 

[Sid100]

we need to create pressure, too many 4 balls, we need to bring back razzaq

 

[Easa]

P'ship 35 runs of 26 balls.

Sailing along

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

Why did you change your avatar to Sami, Haf? He's been useless so far.

dont say that he took a wkt

 

[Easa]

357-4

 

[Zeenix]

Put Razzaq on Inzamam!

I wonder..

 

[Zeenix]

dont say that he took a wkt

That sums up Sami's calibre. 1 Wicket is enough for the Match.

 

[Sid100]

we've just let Bell settle nicely and hes raced to 22 in no time

 

[Easa]

dont say that he took a wkt

He's been expensive, one wicket doesn't change a thing

 

[ziggy]

I've just had a dream..sami takes the last 6 wickets in his next six overs

 

[Shayan]

Nasser Hussain thinks Razzaq should've opened with the new ball, i think I'd agree with that.

358-4

 

[Easa]

I've just had a dream..sami takes the last 6 wickets in his next six overs

)

 

[iZeeshan]

Is that swing for Gul, or just wayward bowling?

My, its hard to tell

 

[Shayan]

big big appeal, not given

 

[Easa]

That was OUT!

 

[Billy]

Looked out live to me..

 

[Zeenix]

we've just let Bell settle nicely and hes raced to 22 in no time

We've been known to be GENEROUS, its our trait. Don't belittle it.

 

[UJ]

Apeall turned down....

 

[Shayan]

BIG outside edge, not given, can't believe taufel didnt give it

 

[Easa]

Sami extremely UNLUCKY!

 

[zMario]

WHAT THE ****!

That is out.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

what is wrong wit the pr1ck of an umpire.. datz was a big edge... watz wrong with those ******** ....

 

[ziggy]

even my grandma thought that was out, and she's not even alive

 

[Hache]

Huge appeal for a caught behind by Sami, and replay showed that THERE WAS A HUGE EDGE..........

Taufell missed it................... shrewedly dejected Pakistani players are...

 

[Shayan]

can't believe it, very obvious edge

 

[Billy]

Pakistan now "lead" 2-1 in the clangers department.

Not what you need at this stage.

 

[Easa]

Very very unlucky.. good bowling that doesn't go rewarded.

 

[Sid100]

are you sure there was an edge???

 

[Sid100]

please dont use the adjective "unlucky" with Sami. Its overused

 

[IMMY69]

big edge...clear cut....not given...umpre must be blind as well as deaf!!!!

 

[Saqib]

that was out I could hear the edge in the kitchen

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

He's been expensive, one wicket doesn't change a thing

didnt u hear a hin of sarcasm in my voice.

 

[HAFRIDI]

Why did you change your avatar to Sami, Haf? He's been useless so far.

look on first page, sami will get a 5fer, an im not gonna run away from that

 

[Zeenix]

even my grandma thought that was out, and she's not even alive

Probably that's why she aint alive

 

[iZeeshan]

I SWEAR TO GOD, THE STUPID BLIND *** TAUFEL! CAN'T SEE A WICKET FOR ANYTHING!

Stupid, dishonest Collingwood! Why doesn't he just walk!

GODDANGIT MAN!

 

[zMario]

Now we gotta bowl bouncers

 

[Shayan]

361-4

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

thats bordering on the god dman ridculous

 

[Saqib]

England now have riding on luck in the first 2 days daymn.

 

[Sid100]

so the 2nd poor umpire decision of the match

 

[HAFRIDI]

Very very unlucky.. good bowling that doesn't go rewarded.

see, he could have been 3 wickets away from it now

 

[Easa]

100.1 Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, how’s that? Gone surely, no – huge appeal from Sami and the wicketkeeper. Collingwood edges it behind and, for some reason, Simon Taufel turns it down. That, frankly, was a dreadful decision and Collingwood survives. Inzamam-ul-Haq is currently chewing on his fingernails, and who can blame him?

[Shayan]

looks like Afridi's coming on.

 

[UJ]

Surely Razzaq needs to be bought on now...

 

[IMMY69]

please dont use the adjective "unlucky" with Sami. Its overused

he is unlucky...and it was unlucky...it was clealy out and not given...he also wicket dropped yday...so yes he has been unlucky..even though he hasnt bowled particularly well he should still have 3 wickets to his name...

 

[Easa]

Afridi on

 

[Sid100]

You Beat Me To It

 

[Zeenix]

so the 2nd poor umpire decision of the match

And both in the Pakistan's FAVOR. Wow ICC AINT RACIST

 

[zMario]

Afridi is on!

 

[Easa]

He'll get some good bounce with the new ball

 

[Sid100]

Afridi On,

 

[Shayan]

bad start, cut away for 1

 

[HAFRIDI]

im off my player has arrived brb

 

[IMMY69]

i think inzy bringing on afridi as a protest more then anything else...absolutely atrocious decision by taufel...

 

[Billy]

so the 2nd poor umpire decision of the match

3rd.

Plus two close decisions that were probably "wrong" but only when viewed several times on replays.

 

[Shayan]

poor ball, pulled away for 4

 

[Zeenix]

Need an Afridi Dance now

 

[Shayan]

same again, 2 fours in a row

 

[zMario]

Now you see why Afridi isn't used by Inzi
