*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

Nah, huge difference in class IMO. Expecting Asif to blow up **** today.
Well it's a distinct possibility, yeah. But Zaheer is a quality swing bowler. Asif swings it too, but more of a seamer IMHO.

Be good viewing later when he bowls. Probz quite soon too.

Jeez, ordinary shot from Gul, but he's batting #9 for a reason I suppose. 64/8. Stumps's call about not beating the 80 looking a sound one.

So Pakistan Openers on the Ground...heh....

Really they must reverse their batting line up....

Like Bradman did it once.....:ph34r:

Edit:As i am typing this They lost Gul...their right hand opener.....

Top catch from the chef there. 67/9.

This is pants, really, it must be said. Good bowling but, man, test cricket? Not IMHO.

I don't think the bowling has been as good as in the last test. Still good fair enough but not excellent. Pakistan have just been diabolical.

Have to love Asif's batting; looks a genuine #11. Played a would-be forward defensive with the bat face pointing at the covers there.

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.
Sehwag wouldn't be doing any better if he were playing in England at the minute. :ph34r:

Pakistan would be the best team in the world if Younis Khan & Mohammad Yousuf were in the team. Would give their batting some solidarity and Umar Akmal would probably score big runs if he were coming in behind them instead of Ali, Amin and Malik which has taken a massive toll on his batting.

All Pakistan need to do is get 300 runs in their first innings and no team will beat them if they continue to play all of their home matches in England with their attack (Aamer, Asif and Gul). Their bowling attack is dominating even though their batting is doing them no favours, so if they get their opposition under some pressure then things could get very ugly for the opposition. Only Morgan's century in the first Test saved England.
