I got his name wrong, accept my mistake.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Apparently Sussex' batsmen are in good form, will be a good test for our bowlers hopefully.

Shukar hai Amir ko wicket mili.. warna Mamoon jaisay log ajatay kehnay ke sab ne wicketien li Amir ke illawa isleye Amir is fazul..

 

[#GreenRoars]

12 overs and 4 wickets to go.

Should stick with Amir and Sohail for reverse swing.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is likely to be a draw.

Yasir is pretty good at running through the tail..

 

[shahidafridi123]

Yasir gets another!

 

[aloo paratha]

Bowled him!! 3 wickets left!

 

[Justcrazy]

seven down

 

[asyed]

Another gone. Yasir is the man again.

Exactly. Haar dafa Amir, Inzi ya kisi aur Pakistani ki hi ghalti hoti hai. G0ray sala perfect hain.

 

[Justcrazy]

Less than 60 balls , 3 wickets to go.

 

[Sadevdesai]

We may have waited too long to declare ..... may cost us a Win !!!!1

 

[#GreenRoars]

8 overs and 3 wickets to go

 

[yasir]

Two questionable calls not given, Are they trying to avoid defeat, umpires??

Or they could just be not out... We can't see them so better we don't assume.

 

[aloo paratha]

Appeals everywhere. Good signs!

 

[yasir]

Amir's Jaffa off stump bumper looked out!! - nevertheless an excellent delivery

Where are you guys watching it?

 

[#GreenRoars]

5 overs to go, seems it is going to be no result.

 

[yasir]

Where are you guys watching it?

Not watching it but Somerset is posting updates on their twitter feed @SomersetCCC

 

[asyed]

Bess is playing smartly by not exposing Leach much.

Ok, thanks.

Not watching, listening on BBC website.

Yes.

Yes, DRS will be part of the series. Not sure if the new DRS rules will be part of the series (most likely not)

 

[a_jawad]

Can someone please post the link to the youtube playlist for today's highlights? I cant find it. Thanks

Rahat will shine in this series IA.

 

[Markhor]

New DRS rules apply after October 1st.

 

[asyed]

Yes.

Thank you. Only asked because by looking at some of the umpire decisions in this game against Somerset, It'll be a must.

 

[yasir]

New DRS rules apply after October 1st.

Thanks, make sense considering rules are out week or so ago.

Lets goooo!

 

[Markhor]

Out ! Bess gone LBW. Still chance of a win.

This is probably dramatic warm-up match ever

 

[Hasan123]

Yasir has done well. It's a good confidence booster for him. Rahat should have got confidence from his 2nd innings bowling

 

[aloo paratha]

Yasir Shah has gotten 4 now. Hopefully he can replicate these performances vs England.

 

[asyed]

OMG, you're the man Yasir. 2 more to go.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Woow woow 2 wickets left and 2.4 overs.

 

[yasir]

Yasir has being impressive, not just the wickets but constant pressure by control and unplayable deliveries...He will be so important in cleaning the tail or bottom half, which is very strong for England, but they don't play spin well - Yasir, Amir and Wahab can be good combo... Keep in mind Wahab pace and aggression was tough for English tail in UAE, here he will be lot more dangerous

 

[asyed]

12 balls are 2 wickets. I don't think I've ever seen/follow such an interesting side game.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

That was a terrific googly by Yasir.

[#GreenRoars]

Azhar Ali is bowling 2nd last over, strange.

 

[srh]

why not bowl Azhar earlier

 

[yasir]

Its heartening to see Yasir taking so many wickets on googlie... He has made improved to his google since last series in this delivery, which was his weak spot...Anybody else noticed??

 

[#GreenRoars]

Would be epic if Yasir gets last 2 wickets in last over

 

[asyed]

WTH, Azhar Ali is bowling 2nd last over

 

[yasir]

Azhar, really second last over in this situation??

 

[Markhor]

Somerset will survive this but the fact we've managed to acclimatise this quickly, coming so close to a win inside 3 days on the first match of the tour is very heartening.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

You can check post number 216.

 

[asyed]

HUH, in such situation you toss bowl towards you main and best bowlers. And Mibah gave ball to Azhar who hasn't bowled in this whole game. GENIUS!

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Yasir has bowled 32 overs on the trot, lol.

 

[#GreenRoars]

From videos, it seems so he has improved his googly. Its nice to see he is getting wickets on England pitches.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Match drawn.

Yaar its not the World Cup final. I'm sure he'd have bowled Amir in such a situation.

Indeed, from these videos it seems that his googlie has more impact now, that too in ENG. Pleasant sign.

 

[a_jawad]

where can i find the video highlights please?

 

[asyed]

I understand but why would you not try your best when you can smell a win? I know it's bunch of nobodies but still win will give you more confidence then a drawn-no?

 

[Markhor]

It'll be on the SomersetCricket channel on YouTube this evening.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Excellent performance by our team, overall.

Pretty sure there have been equally dramatic warm ups.

It's just before this one I've normally never seen anyone give them too much attention

 

[Slog]

Yasir has bowled 32 overs on the trot, lol.

Poor captaincy then

 

[osee_bhai]

I understand but why would you not try your best when you can smell a win? I know it's bunch of nobodies but still win will give you more confidence then a drawn-no?

It doesn't matter one bit. You just can't lose. You rather not have your best player start another spell, try too hard, and possibly risk injury.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good performance by young somerset team against a test number 3 team.
