Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Confident start by Kaneria. Had a very close appeal against Strauss. Doctorve could have easily given it:mad:
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Lucks been with England and will remain so just wait till Pakistan 2nd Innings.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Strange...Akmal hadn't had any catch/stump in the Ist innings...
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Doctrove strikes again. But with chances being dropped left and right, we can't really cry foul.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
You gotta feel for these bowlers. Sami gets the glove, dropped. Gul gets the edge, dropped. Kaneria gets the batsman plumb, denied.
I think we should just congratulate ourselves on saving this game, and wait for the 4th test where a change of players might just bring about a change in luck.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
lol, we won't draw this, England will get around 375 lead @ 5 runs an over and declare, and we will collapse, I'm 95% sure of it. If we do manage to draw it, it will be by 1 or 2 wickets.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
boy u sure are one of the most pessimistic pakistani fans i’ve ever seen on this board…o yaara cheer up…it aint over until its over…
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
I'm pretty confident on my assessment of the situation, and watch, what i said will happen.
I hope that Akmal gets dropped, the idiot can't keep for ****. I would have taken those catches.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
^^ give him a break when he was in form people where saying he is the best and now when he not in form...nowone is perfect everyone makes mistakes
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
LoL! Form? a ****ty keeper cud have taken at least the second catch & If he can barely collect regular balls, how can he collect edged ones? And how many keepers go "out of form" and start dropping balls/catches almost regularly?
He will be responsible for Pakistans loss in this match.
For being a "strong team" we surely r weak in bowling, batting, and fielding.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
^^ nearly all keepers go out of form...besides this is his first series in england
i'm sure you could not do any better
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
So anyway how much will Tresco score today, or how much will England score altogether before they declare today? 350, 375, or 400?
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
We should get a breakthrough before lunch...
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
lol didn’t we just score 538 runs in the first innings…we are missing 3 front line bowlers…the bowlers we have are trying their best but are outta luck due to poor fielding and decisions…I agree with the fielding part though…but then again we have never been good in fielding and still have managed well for ourselves if you look at the history of pakistani cricket
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
If they bat like this they can get 390 runs before end of play, but I think Strauss will be smart and declare on 340-350, and leave Pakistan with 10 overs to bat in the day because he's knows Pakistan will collapse under pressure this time around.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
They won't be declaring today. There will be some good spells in between, run rate will go down, Pakistan will get couple of wickets in the middle. England will probably have a lead around 300-320 today, if everything goes well for them.
If they will declare they will do it 30-45 minutes before lunch tomorrow.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Just watch how we'll collapse in 2nd innings, and you'll know what I'm talking about, n aren't these bowlers the best that we have after the top 3? They r, and it shows how terrible our reserves r and the amount of talent we have.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.

Don't you think that ICC should take away the test status from us??:D
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Only outside subcontinent.
Just wait till we go to South Africa...we will get hammered like minnows.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Afridi 786, your flip-flop posts have given me a really interesting idea. I think I should do it. People here will really enjoy it.
