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

[Hallatia]

England took the lead and Pakistan took the new ball, I would have taken it a few overs earlier, somehow these two were allowed to get a little comfortable out there. Hafeez has the new ball from one end, Gul from the other

 

[Hallatia]

Gul removes Bell for 29. England lead by 11 with 3 wickets in hand

 

[Hallatia]

Both sides all out of reviews for this innings now. None of the reviews this innings have been successful either

 

[Hallatia]

England batted kind of well in the first session, but were just wiped away by Hafeez in the first over after lunch. So England finish with a first innings total of 327, a lead of 70. Broad made a very handy 50 before lunch

 

[Horrie Is God]

It's a pretty good stadium for a non cricketing nation..

The setting though..:sarcasm:

Compare it too Adelaide or Cradle Mountain..:shock:

Well played by Broad this test match.

 

[Horrie Is God]

^ He's carrying the poms this test..

Anderson is the original "green track bully"..

I'm stunned we made him look as good as he did in the last Ashes..:x

 

[Hallatia]

wow, 16 bowled or lbws in the first 2 innings this match, equals the record and hasn't happened in 64 years :crazy:

It was only the last wicket that was caught in the first innings, and then 7 more in Pakistan's bowling innings

 

[Horrie Is God]

Lol@Prior..

Hadds would've caught that..:lol:

 

[Wooden Spoonar]

Lol@Prior..

Hadds would've caught that..:lol:

The ultimate sledge lol

 

[Hallatia]

not a great start to this innings for Pakistan. Hafeez departs for 22 and Pakistan are 29/1, trailing by 41

 

[Hallatia]

And there goes the other opener, Pakistan 29/2. Pakistan don't seem to know what they're doing out there

 

[Hallatia]

Younis Khan gone and Pakistan are just crumbling here

 

[Horrie Is God]

Monty bowling beautifully ATM..:shock:

 

[aussies1st]

Inconsistent Pakistan is back.

 

[Wooden Spoonar]

Inconsistent Pakistan is back.

I wonder if the bookies are too.......

 

[hineyrulz]

These two young Paki batsman are digging in, the lead is still only 28.

 

[Horrie Is God]

At least they are making the Poms work for it..

 

[Wilson1]

Great application. If this pair can continue then Pakistan have a chance of a result. Ajmal could cause those English batsmen lots of problems of day 5. Any lead over 200 would be competitive.

 

[Horrie Is God]

:alcho: to those 2 Paki boys..
