*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[vcs]

Ha ha... Zulqarnain messing with Swann's head.

 

[BoyBrumby]

There is NO excuse for Broad's **** actions.. what does he think about himself? Another McGrath? Lol.. wannable..

I bet he won't last even 50 matches if he continues to be a **** like this.

I'm not seeking to excuse his actions, just explain them in the context of his step-mother dying after a long and drawn out illness.

He had reigned in the petulance of late.

Anyway, 27 the lead now. Another example of us unable to bowl to the tail.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Now they're trying to bounce a rubbish tailender on a pitch like this. Obviously the pies on leg stump thing was giving runs away too slowly.

Absolute ****wits.

 

[GIMH]

Ugh

 

[BoyBrumby]

Prior's keeping regressing by the over too.

That Ajmal, whose career to date suggests he's a rabbit of Watership Down proportions, can play like this rather puts the efforts of the top six into proper perspective.

Good to see some heart shown from Pakistan, but could they now hurry up & lose, please.

 

[Sir Alex]

Chance for Cooky missed.

 

[Jayzamann]

Really starting to <3 this Haider chap. Proving that somewhere in Pakistan, babies are still being born with massive balls.

 

[Jono]

My respect for Ajmal has just gone up so so much.

In what is pretty much a lost cause (unless England commit the mother of all chokes) he is taking blow after blow on his body for his country, when really, his batsman have let him down.

This is inspiring stuff.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Beyond witless. Seriously.

 

[vcs]

Yeah, this is good stuff.

 

[Jarquis]

Why hasn't Haider played as a specialist bat? Though I suppose he was a hawkeye's breadth away from a king pair.

 

[Jono]

If Ajmal can stick with Haider and allow him to get his ton, that will be frickin awesome. Very impressive.

It has been a test for second chances.

And third... and forth...

 

[kingpin]

if Pakistan manages to get around 125 or even 200 lol It will be the best test of the year......

Inspiring stuff from tail enders....

The batting order must be reversed.....

This lad deserves a ton...Keep going....

 

[Pothas]

Not seen a single ball of this test untill just now, very surprised I managed to see any at all really.

 

[slowfinger]

Composure... Tough stand here... If Ajmal gets 50 and Zulqarnain gets 100 there might be twists in the tail (not jinxing!)
Phew review system Zulqarnain ... C'mon lets see what happens now, pressure is on I can see obviously because they are taking easy singles...

 

[King Pietersen]

You can lament the bowling as much as you like, but at the end of the day, these lower order batsmen have batted very well. Haider's only 1 run short of being Pakistan's leading run-scorer in the series, and this is his first real innings. He's batted sensibly, showed technique, patience and ability. He and Aamer batted excellently. Aamer gave a chance which should have been snaffled by Cook, but other than that played nicely. We've not bowled particularly well to Ajmal, but he's played some lovely shots, and deserves some credit for that. It's alright to constantly moan about the bowling, but more credit has to be given to the lower order batsmen I think.
