*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

Can't you tell a tongue-in-cheek post when you see one?

Seriously though, the sooner Stuart Broad is banned, the better it will be for cricket all round. He's a poor advertisement for the game....

 

[GIMH]

Tongue-in-cheek? Every post you make is in that style, you're agenda is tiresome and pathetic

And it won't be better for cricket if Broad gets banned as he is a good bowler with the potential to be a very good one, I hope he takes a hatful today just to stick it to people like you.

You clearly don't read my posts properly, then....

Broad taking wickets is neither here nor there. He's a nasty piece of work, and a poor ambassador for English cricket. He clearly doesn't understand anything about the spirit of the game.

He falls in the category of cricketing pantomime villains, such as Ricky Ponting, Glenn McGrath, Suleimann Benn, etc. You can admire how these cricketers play, but most folks will have great difficulty liking them.

One day, Stuart Broad is going to be on the receiving end, and very few people will feel sorry for him....

 

[GIMH]

I do read your posts, they are agenda-driven drivel.

It's interesting, though, that you put him in the same category as Ponting or McGrath...I suppose they were bad for cricket...

Of course, Broad is a long way off that level, but it's still quite funny.

Look, most people hate Broad, that's fine....what I took issue with is the way everyone is banging on about this injury, should have known you would have something to say about it, he is English after all

 

[shivfan]

Once again, you show an ineptitude when it comes to reading my posts....

Both Ponting and McGrath are excellent cricketers, but both of them have crossed the line more than once, as has Benn. Those three, as well as Broad, seem to have a lack of understanding when it comes to the spirit of the game, and the phrase, 'that's not cricket'.

You can admire them for their cricketing ability, but they all clearly need a personality transplant!

Personally, I would like to see the card system introduced from football into cricket. What Broad did to Haider deserves a red card, followed by a three-match ban.

This is very true. The least he could have done is make an apology in the media. Instead, we have articles by Simon Jones defending him and encouraging him not to curb his "aggression".

 

[GIMH]

Ah, another person at CW who thinks that thinking someone's posts are dross = not reading them. Well done.

Broad's throw was his first offence of that kind, a three-match ban would have been even more ******** than your posts.

 

[superkingdave]

England batting then. I expect Ajmal to take plenty this test

 

[Matt79]

Cut the attacks on each other. GIMH - it's not acceptable to attack a poster like that - you think he's trolling (as opposed to simply having an opinion you strongly disagree with), report the post. Shiv - there's a thread to talk about Broad - maybe take it there rather than the tour thread if you want to continue.

Cook must be on thin ice now.

 

[Matt79]

And Shivfan, is there any reason for you to make the exact same initial post on Broad and Haider in this thread AND the Broad thread, if you were simply seeking to make a tongue in cheek comment rather than annoy people?

 

[King Pietersen]

How was that not given? Huge noise and a clear deviation. Well bowled by the debutant.

 

[Shifter]

Got to love hotspot making batsmen look bad.

 

[superkingdave]

Strauss not walking again? Must know the opposition will just use a review, he's not going to escape

 

[Scaly piscine]

Any chance of this batting lineup actually building a decent total for once.

Pakistan have not been the best with the reviews but yeah that was ridiculously out.

 

[pasag]

Good stuff from the best team in the world.

 

[Howsie]

This Wahab Riaz looks like a rather good fast bowler, how long has he been around the national setup? Just asking because Pakistan have dished up some rather rubbish backup quicks during the last 6-12 months.

Edit: Haha, and he picks up another, good stuff.

 

[GIMH]

Good stuff from the best team in the world.

Even the best have off days

 

[Uppercut]

Huge opportunity for Pakistan this. If the sun comes out when they bat even they could rack up a good score.
