2nd Test: Pakistan v England at Abu Dhabi Jan 25-29, 2012

[Horrie Is God]

This is boring..

Paki's have lost the plot & the Poms are still going at a snails pace..

Lucky the tennis is a good game..

 

[Hallatia]

just as you say that, a big breakthrough

Trott gone for 74, bowled Abdur Rehman
England 166/2, trail by 91

 

[Horrie Is God]

He should've been out 2 hours ago if the Paki's knew what they were doing..

KP is always interesting..

 

[Hallatia]

he should have and Pakis would have been well on top if they got him out then, but ahh well, that's cricket. It's what they do from here that will be telling

 

[Hallatia]

Cook gone for 94 and the new ball is due in a few overs, Pakistan still ahead by 59, good opportunity for them now

 

[Horrie Is God]

See ya KP..

 

[Hallatia]

how good is Hafeez? Pakistan's game now

New ball due too. England still trailing by 52

I wouldn't change the ball..

The spinners have got it talking..

 

[Hallatia]

I'm with you, but having that option along with what the spinners are doing has them well on top at this point

 

[Horrie Is God]

Bell has no idea ATM..

 

[Hallatia]

It's great. Much better than yesterday, this day has had periods of ordinariness, but on the whole much better than yesty

 

[Horrie Is God]

That was always going to happen..

 

[Horrie Is God]

The Poms going at 2.2 an over while the Paki's were losing the plot is going to come back & bite them here..

They are in all sorts now when they should be 100 or so ahead..

 

[Hallatia]

indeed, but I'm sad that the day is over now

England trail by 50 with 5 wickets in hand at stumps on day 2 and the new ball due for Pakistan whenever they want to take it

 

[Hallatia]

Prior has however been a very steady bat this series, so England can recover

 

[Horrie Is God]

The Paki's would be too..

It was pretty boring until the last session though..

 

[Hallatia]

the last session was great though, unlike yesterday which was just ordinary all day. The match situation shifted around a fair bit during the earlier sessions which just made it an all round better day. It had built so nicely in the third sesson too, which made it sad to see it finish when it did haha

 

[Hallatia]

Prior dropped on 2. Absolute sitter in the deep as well. Ball is still doing a fair bit for the spinners

 

[Hallatia]

and Bell gets dropped in the next over too, but much tougher chance there. Bowlers have been very threatening early

 

[Hallatia]

there have been appeals just about every ball for the last few overs and Pakistan get one, removing Prior for 3. England review it but he is out. England still trail by 30, 4 wickets in hand now
