England vs Pakistan Test Series

[number11]

Shows what I know!

I'm glad we got Hameed, something about his face that makes me want to cave it in....

hahah, beautifully put. I can imagine Aggers or Blofeld uttering that exact same phrase on TMS!

 

[MrB]

Watch out for that Riaz, he currently has an infinite batting average.

 

[canveyshrimper]

Pakistan go to lunch on 111/4.

 

[The General]

Yousuf gets out in a silly manner (for 56) and Swann picks up his 100th Test wicket.

 

[superblue24]

Game is slipping out of reach. 300+ and its all over.

 

[timeveritt]

even when inzaman retired the legend of his running has long lived on in the pakistan team....

 

[Bluesmanager]

It's hardly over superblue, 300 isn't even a hundred run lead.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

251/7, K Akmal out.

 

[superblue24]

It's hardly over superblue, 300 isn't even a hundred run lead.

5-1 already.....looks like 75 could be enough!

Disaster

 

[Stats]

Mo Yousef - Top Beard

 

[number11]

I think the Strauss dropped catch that would have ended that last wicket partnership could be vital. Not only did they add an extra 30ish runs, but we only had a few tricky overs to bat. If he had taken that catch we would have had at least an hour to bat and probably would be pretty level score wise with them. I think we are only one big partnership away from winning this game, but other than the Morgan Collingwood stand in the first test, we have not exactly piled on the runs this summer.

Mo Yousef - Top Beard

Not even close to Amla's attempt

 

[Shrimper]

Would like to see Anderson break his test record of 34. He'll probably end up getting more than Cook does anyway. :D

 

[MrB]

Cook just edged through the slip cordon, it's painful to see at the moment.

 

[superblue24]

Some one give me a shotgun to shoot the PAK player who keeps making that shrill cry every few seconds.....

I thought it was that hamster faced WK, but it cant be him as he wasn't playing in the second test.

Anyone know who it is?

 

[superblue24]

Cook just edged through the slip cordon, it's painful to see at the moment.

Just played a textbook cover drive though, but still broadly unconvincing.

 

[MrB]

Just played a textbook cover drive though, but still broadly unconvincing.

Now his highest score of the series so far. If he can scratch about and avoid any unplayable balls he can hopefully break through 30 and go on and get his confidence back.

 

[Shrimper]

There goes Anderson. 40-2

 

[Richard T]

Now at 76-2 we have a lead of one.

Cook, on 49, steers a single to mid-on for his 23rd Test fifty, which has come from 77 balls.
You can see the relief etched on his face.

 

[canveyshrimper]

If England get a lead of 250 I think they'll win the match.
