*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[chalky]

Really? With Asif & Amir and overcast English conditions I'd have jumped at a bowl, tbh. Bowling is by far Pakistan's stronger suit so I'd play to it; skittle us quicker for not many and chase and hopefully overhaul a small total.

Farhat gone for 24 ball blob then. Hmm.

Staggered that Butt decided to Bat 1st in these conditions on par with Ponting's decision at Headingly. Can see any logic behind the decision at all.

Heh, er I think that was our session

 

[Spark]

Good to see someone got it.

C'est magnifique*, mais ce n'est pas la guerre.

*bowling.

I can't believe this lot won a Test against Australia.

 

[silentstriker]

Here's Mohammad Amir, who's been in early almost every innings. Third time this tour that Pakistan have been six-down for less than 50

At the threat of starting another Tendulkar debate...Tendulkar + Sehwag > Entire Pakistani lineup.

On the other hand, Aamir + Asif >>>>>>> All Indian fast bowling added up in the last two decades.

That being so, WTF wouldn't you bowl first? God, it's painfully obvious. Fecking amatuer hour at the PCB.

 

[Stapel]

Pheww, Amin lucky twice in two balls.

 

[Pratters]

Pakistan **** Board.

 

[tooextracool]

I presumed that was the case.

Finn is looking good. Getting some real lift off the deck, and he's not pitching it too short to get that lift either. Really looking forward to seeing how he goes in Australia, should really get it to go through over there. Been very impressed with Finn, after his 1st spell in Bangladesh anyway.

12/3. Jimmeh picks up Malik. This could be over quite soon.

Doesnt look like much of a bowler to me at the moment. Would be surprised if he goes well in Australia.

Dude Amir and Asif are playing in bowler friendly conditions...........When they played against us in srilanka Amir figures were 10-0-57-0......

BTW Zak>=Asif..

 

[BoyBrumby]

Different game when you play shots, eh? And refer the debateable ones...

 

[Howsie]

Amin isn't looking too shabby right now, he's played a couple of lovely shots during this over. He seems to have freed up abit since lunch.

Yeah, good call. It's the kinda of conditions where you're going to get good balls with fair regualrity, so play a few shots to the balls you can. 24 & 32 ball blobs not the way to go, clearly.

[BoyBrumby]

Not generally, I agree. But Zaheer would carve up today. Tailor made for him.

Another goes as I type. Good catch from Colly; Amin gone for 23.

 

[Howsie]

Test him with the short stuff

Nah, huge difference in class IMO. Expecting Asif to blow up **** today.

 

[Pratters]

Asif shouldn't even be allowed to play cricket but whatever.
