Group E (Super 8) - Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, England

[grecian]

No problem with pitching it short. Just needs to be at them.

Yeah, short and wide was what they were doing at first, which was causing my ire. Lets face it it's not the first time these three have done that.

 

[King Pietersen]

More short-pitch rubbish from Bresnan. This has been horrible stuff from England. We're just lucky that they've not got too many. Just need to hope Sidebottom doesn't bowl again.

 

[tooextracool]

This is a cracking pitch. Its just a pity that England dont know how to bowl on it. Yardy to get pasted IMO.

 

[Burgey]

FMD Pakistan, one down in the 9th - play some ****ing shots ffs. This is Clarke-like.

 

[wpdavid]

So what do we reckon for a final total - around 180?

EDIT
Maybe not - Butt's just gone and they're not going crazy just yet.

 

[King Pietersen]

This over's going well. First Umar Akmal gone (though should have been stumped the ball before) and next ball Afridi has a brain-fart and runs himself out. Awesome.

 

[GraemeSmith]

Pakistan imploding

 

[Pothas]

Hahah Afridi.

 

[grecian]

Ahh, good ole Afridi, always likely to do summat mental.

 

[GraemeSmith]

Afridi reminds me of Michael Scott/David Brent from The Office

 

[wpdavid]

Good comeback by Yardy tbf. Could have had Akmal twice.

EDIT
And now he gets Misbah - end of a very good spell.

 

[King Pietersen]

That's how to put away Broad's idiotic round the wicket tactic. Hopefully that'll put an end to that plan for good.

 

[Pothas]

Nah he will never give it up.

 

[tooextracool]

Yeah much like with his strategy with the short ball. Not a quick learner.

 

[King Pietersen]

Another one for Yardy. Been impressed by his bowling, has gone much better than many were expecting.

 

[Furball]

How has Sidebottom retained his place? He's ****ing dreadful.

 

[King Pietersen]

Brilliant. Sidebottom's back to ruin all the good work done by the spinners. If he still plays after this effort then he must be doing 'favours' for Andy Flower.

 

[Furball]

Sidebottom not capable of pitching it up?

 

[King Pietersen]

Lovely catch from KP. Just a shame it earnt Sidearse a wicket really. Sure that one'll secure his place for the rest of the tournament.

Unibrow Alam gone too. This is going surprisingly well.

 

[Scaly piscine]

What's the pitch like? Only just got back. Quick skim suggests a few instances of giveaway runs (no-ball free hits, endless short tripe etc.) yet Pakistan only have 123-7 at the moment.
