*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[King Pietersen]

Surprise, surprise, KP out bowled by Asif. Could be a long series for KP if he doesn't find regain some form. Hasn't looked convincing at the crease in a Test match for a long, long time. Beginning to become very frustrating.

Oooh.. wish I could watch this Asif spell to Pietersen.. not getting Star Cricket here. Kudos to all those who predicted that he'd own Pietersen, off to a good start in this series.

 

[Howsie]

I really can't see Pietersen lasting too long here, reckon Asif will pick him up rather early.

Not much of a call though, with a massive gap like that it was always on the cards.

 

[Howsie]

Looked out live.

 

[Furball]

WTF Trott.

 

[Jarquis]

uuuuuhhhhhh England.

 

[Faisal1985]

Well, the thing is, KP still added value to his wicket by making Asif waste 2 reviews....

 

[grecian]

KP and Strauss really making their lives count so far then. Trademark England.

Try to give some credit to the oppo, Asif had worked KP over beautifully, and Amir is class. Don't mind being turned over by these two much, certainly not "typical England".

Another, top quality swing and seam bowling. Think England have batted okay really.

Time to see if Morgan is a Test batsman.

 

[Faisal1985]

Mohammad Amir! You are my HERO!

 

[Athlai]

Aamer is such a ****ing gun. Could have ten more wickets to his name at the very least if he played for a team that could catch. Would be looking at 50 wickets already if not for dropped catches.

 

[_Ed_]

Good stuff, Tony.

 

[Jarquis]

Yeah, could easily be averaging <28 if Pakistan could catch IMO.

 

[social]

Imagine how many wickets Aamer will get when he starts bowling closer to the stumps!

ATM, he's got to swing the ball sideways to pitch in line and hit the stumps against the right hander

 

[Manee]

Can't all Test cricket just be played in England? It is just brilliant to watch, in stark contrast to India Vs Sri Lanka.

When Pakistan toured New Zealand at the end of last year Waqar was commentating for Sky and he keeped bringing that up too, he said that if he was working with him he'd get him to bowl closer to the stumps.

Really surprised he hasn't changed that yet tbh.

Really enjoying this,good hard proper test cricket and England being given a real going over.

 

[Jono]

Did that carry? Oooh some drama

They've been trying to do that with Bresnan for ages.

Well 'caught' Kamran.

 

[Jono]

Oh dear Akmal that is not a good sight. Clearly didn't carry

 

[Howsie]

You can't blame the man for trying
