Pakistan vs England ~ First Test ~ Updates ~ Day Two

[Raz]

Imran Farhat on!!

Come on Immy bro!!

 

[UJ]

Farhat to bowl it

 

[Muhammad Saad]

hey guys u have to admit that pakistan bowling is far below than yesterday

 

[IMMY69]

Salam guys, oh my!!

422-4?!

Can someone tell me how clear that edge was from Colly that should have been given out?

clear cut....there was noise and a visible deflection...shocking decision really...

 

[Raz]

Farhat flighting the ball nicely.

 

[iZeeshan]

Farhat onto bowl. LOL! We have dropped to the ultimate low...

 

[Shayan]

Lunch: 426-4.

 

[Raz]

426-4 at the lunch break

 

[UJ]

Lunch it is

4/426

 

[Shayan]

I really hope we make loads and loads of runs. hundreds for Butt, Inzi, Yousuf, and Afridi would do nicely.

 

[ziggy]

As expected, pakistan just don't like to play well in the first test of any series...it's part of woolmers plan..lure the opposition into a false sense of security

 

[iZeeshan]

So its lunch, 30 mins.

Farhat didn't bowl so poorly, I'd say.

 

[IMMY69]

hey guys u have to admit that pakistan bowling is far below than yesterday

sami had a nick not given..razaq had a couple of very decnt lbw shouts not given and so did afridi...all in all they have created chances...

also, yday was overcast and much more favourable for bowling, today it sunny and warm and anyone will tell you that lords is a batting paradise (especially on day 2/3) when the sun is shining...so if bowlers, on naked eye, dont look as penetrive as they did yday then judge them in the context of the game...

 

[zMario]

Disappointing

 

[Muhammad Saad]

LOL

 

[Muhammad]

At least the real reason for Farhat catching like a fish yesterday has been expeosed, he was desperate for a bowl!

 

[Usman Chadda]

England dominating the entire session. 426/4 in 120 overs is very good going indeed. Collingwood is on course for a double century while Bell has also looked quite good. Pakistan have been ultra flat today, no bowler has impressed and even though Sami got that wicket of Cook, even he looked a little off colour.

England have put themselves in a position from where they can only put more pressure on us. They will be looking to get to about 500 or more, and then inflict damage on Pakistan's batting line-up in the closing stages of the day

 

[Usman Chadda]

Simon Taufel has been pathetic today. 3 decisions that should have gone Pakistan's way were not given. That Collingwood was quite a simple decision for any umpire, still he didnt give it out

 

[Easa]

Salam guys, oh my!!

422-4?!

Can someone tell me how clear that edge was from Colly that should have been given out?

It was a clear edge.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Salam guys, oh my!!

422-4?!

Can someone tell me how clear that edge was from Colly that should have been given out?

I heard it in my ear!

 

[spongebob]

this is looking ominous...

 

[Billy]

Be fair, only one was stone dead.

 

[HAFRIDI]

thanks Shayan

 

[iZeeshan]

I hate the fact that everyone misses the fact that the umpires are officiating crap...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Be fair, only one was stone dead.

The last appeal from Razzaq was also quite dodgy. Collingwood's innings has been full of luck, I have lost count of how many times he has got lucky!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Afridi should have said something to Collingwood after he didnt walk but disappointed that he didnt say anything. Afridi has got rubbed for his pitch dance and this could have been Afridi chance to rub it to England.

 

[HAFRIDI]

im off to Jummah, whoever watches look out for my Q to skysports

 

[zMario]

LOL Ad for Cricket AM

 

[Easa]

Haf, Jummah now?

I returned from Jummah a good two hours back!

 

[zMario]

im off to Jummah, whoever watches look out for my Q to skysports

What is ur question Haf

 

[Billy]

What's a Jummah when it's at home?

 

[inzidabest]

Pakistan will battle to survive in this test. Tough luck. I hope it doed not set the trend for the series

 

[iZeeshan]

I go to Jumaa in 6 hours...

 

[inzidabest]

Anyone to criticize Umar Guls action?Thats how kids bowl on the streets. People who donot know bowling. That is rubbish action

 

[inzidabest]

And anyone for Pakistan being 65/5 when they come out to bat today

 

[wazim87]

Sigh, Pakistan will ahve to comeback again!
If they do, Im making a special DVD "the COmeback Kings"
put the previous comebacks in it too

by the way anyone know when the comeback starts, it may even be a last day thing again

 

[Raz]

Haf, Jummah now?

I returned from Jummah a good two hours back!

In the UK its about now.

 

[Easa]

What's a Jummah when it's at home?

Thuhr prayer.

 

[inzidabest]

Anyone for a tripple hundred by Shahid Afridi

 

[iZeeshan]

Anyone for a tripple hundred by Shahid Afridi

Nah...more like a triple for Farhat

A hundred for each of his dropped catches

 

[Usman Chadda]

Anyone for a tripple hundred by Shahid Afridi

I hope it happens, and he smashes Collingwood for 36 runs in 1 over!

 

[shan]

what is the score now?

 

[iZeeshan]

426/4

And mind you, check www.crapinfo.com

 

[shan]

426/4

And mind you, check www.crapinfo.com

crapinfo is not working

 

[zMario]

what is the score now?

Don't ask.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

And anyone for Pakistan being 65/5 when they come out to bat today

Mate the new ball does swing, something Pakistan do not like! And all the posters who predicted 203-3 for Pakistan think this is a flat track but its not.

 

[shan]

No chance for pakistan now to win the game and very little to draw

 

[shan]

thank god this is a 4 test series so Pak have better chance to come back is they lose this one.

 

[Easa]

Players back onto the field.

Gul to bowl

 

[zMario]

If we can get 6 wickets in the first hour, I give ourselves "a chance"

 

[Usman Chadda]

It would need only a miracle for Pakistan to win this game. They do have a chance of drawing. Our batting line-up does have the capability to hold-on for days

 

[Easa]

WIDE signalled, poor ball

 

[shan]

Pakistan should atleast make 400 runs in first innings

 

[zMario]

We should've appealed on that first ball, maybe umpire will give it out )

 

[zMario]

Hmmm, I think Gul is trying to use the slope to get inswing to the right hander, so he leaves it and he bowls him. Its what I think of it anyway

 

[Easa]

Our only success of the day so far

 

[shan]

another wide

 

[Easa]

Good delivery from Gul, had Cauliflower in a bit of a mess

 

[shan]

How can gul bowl so many wides in Test match?

 

[UJ]

429/4

 

[shan]

and a no ball!

 

[iZeeshan]

Wides and no balls in a test? This many? WOW can't be...even Akhtar and Sami ain't like this

 

[Easa]

Kaneria on from the other end.

 

[zMario]

Haha, Gul bowling all over the place, which may be a good thing - he hasn't strayed on the pads yet

 

[inzidabest]

We should've appealed on that first ball, maybe umpire will give it out )

Any reason why Pakistan has started to bowl so negative. Where are the days when even young guys used to bowl great

 

[zMario]

C'mon Dani Boy!

 

[zMario]

1 run off the over

 

[iZeeshan]

You know, I'd die if PakPassion wasn't here during the match...

 

[Romali_rotti]

Relax boys Kaneria is just about 10-15 runs away from his 100, and once he gets a 100 he usually picks up a wicket ..

 

[Easa]

432-4

 

[zMario]

Pfff... I feel like calling Woolmer, and telling him to give me the $200 I paid for the series as compensation for this terrible bowling

 

[Shayan]

435 for 4, commentators saying England won't look to declare for ages.

 

[Shayan]

the razzaq-afridi bowling combination has looked the most threatening today.

 

[ali_ed2006]

finally i hear the Pakistan Zindabad chants

 

[zMario]

Oho, the crowds going now... when we're losing. I wonder why the stewarts havent quieted them

 

[iZeeshan]

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.

 

[shan]

Kaneria and sami are useless

 

[shan]

550+ on cards

 

[Shayan]

good ball from Gul, play and a miss. 437-4

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Kaneria has bowled 1 maiden in 36 overs, even Gul & Sami have bowled more maidens and have taken a wicket. This pitch is turning yet our 'Warning' man has nothing next to his wickets column. I guess we will have to wait until his 60th over.
