Rizwan outshines grumpy weather and umpires | England v/s Pakistan 2nd Test | Day 2 Review

[fight_club]

Cricket has witnessed "Streakers" running wildly on the field and we all thought that was lunatic. World is struggling to find a bright spot amidst all the gloom and doom. Loads of players have to camp for more than a month in complete isolation.

We had a humdinger of a Test match first up Cricket shift to southern hemisphere with rain clouds looming overhead. We got a surface which has more spice than you will find in a curry. Overcast condition making ball move a mile a gusty Pakistan not ready to throw the towel . Board has just sniffed Stubborn Abbas and looking to wrap up the inning.

Rizwan looking to get as many in the bucket as possible, Viewers sucked into this battle of attrition and nerves thanking god for rain to hold on and in comes Richard Kettleborough siren wailing from the nasty evil equipment called as light meters "Sorry folks, lets head towards stand"

My sincere apologies to Streakers you guys were well ahead of your time.

There is something about this Pakistan bunch. How did they manage to play out 86 over's on this deck? it's crazy out there. I mean you take Swing and seam of day1 lord pitch and mix it with Pace and bounce of Perth add overcast condition and floodlights.

Pakistan should have been bowled out twice with few over's to spare.

I am really beginning to like Rizzy. He in my opinion is the best Gloves man going around today. As long as he does not allow his jangling nerves to get better of him he will be very handy lower order bat. What a gem he has played and put Pakistan right into it.

Irrespective of the final outcome of this series Pakistan will take a lot out of it.

Babar looked the best Batsmen till he got a Jaffa. Even a set Babar has to rein himself such was the movement on offer even to 60 over old ball. England would count themselves lucky to escape from prospect of negotiating final on such treacherous conditions against Abbas and company but there will still be enough help and Pakistan would look to get England cheaply.

Let's hope weather allows a minimum of 270-280 over's and we may be in for a low scoring thriller Rizwan should do a yasir and try to smash a quick 20-30 runs and then allow Poms to face some music.

I will pray for rain and light meter to stay away.

I haven’t watched the match, so would like to know if we are in a bad or good position on this particular wicket? Can we keep England below 200 here?

I would say Pakistan got out of jail and have a decent chance to contain england. England will have few worries and butterflies in their stomach.

We are going to lose too much time.
We need to a absolutely obliterate England tomorrow to have a prayer. That means 120 all out
It can happen with our quicks.

Il be happy if we take draw from here and can make a comback in the last one. It should have been a 4 test match series. It been a cracker series so far

250 is a good score here if we bowl well we can bowl bowl them out for 180 200

Correct, even if England gets to 250 Pakistan will still be in the game but has to bat well in 3rd innings

Runs on the borad is precious in this game. We already have a decent total
