*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[King Pietersen]

Swanneh. Does it again in his first over of a spell. That's the 22nd time he's done that isn't it? Good catch in the end from Prior too, was a pretty thick edge on that.

 

[Jarquis]

Swanneh, wafg

 

[Hurricane]

Nice catch by prior.

 

[GIMH]

Good work from the Banger Basher

 

[_Ed_]

Crikey, Yousuf has a decent record against England.

 

[vcs]

Anderson really working Yousuf over at the moment. You'd have to be Bradman to get an edge on some of those deliveries.

 

[Jono]

Yousuf ducking up would be so ironic.

 

[Jono]

Oh wait he just scored a run.

 

[Teja.]

Riaz to ton up on debut.

 

[Stapel]

Oh wait he just scored a run.

I like the idea of a proper batsman seeing off a good spell and waiting for 15 deliveries to get off the mark, without panicking. That's what good test cricket is about imho: Defend the good deliveries and wait and wait and wait for the odd crap ball, just to smack it away for four!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good game this one,finally.

This new lad looks good,makes you wonder if they have any more gems hidden away,shame none of them are top order bats though.

 

[Hurricane]

Yousuf will bat slowly for this session and open up after lunch (a little bit)

 

[superkingdave]

Swanneh to come back at break this partnership before lunch. Pak to make 350 with Moyo scoring a ton

 

[Hurricane]

Bounce out the rabbit. He doesn't like the short stuff.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bounce out the rabbit. He doesn't like the short stuff.

This is England. It's written into their contracts to fanny about all day getting out numpties.

 

[King Pietersen]

Swanneh does it again. WAG. Has been referred though, so who knows. Looked pretty good though.

 

[grecian]

Silly referral for a tail-ender. Swanneh is godly though

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I await the complaints about conspiracy theories and the ball being changed to aid England.

Well done Swanny.Our session now.

 

[Jayzamann]

Swanneh to come back at break this partnership before lunch.

woa

 

[Stapel]

Silly referral for a tail-ender. Swanneh is godly though
