*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

LOL @ Asif.

Well done Cooky, some innings under pressure, and massive percentage of our runs.

Asif

Funniest way to get to a ton i have ever seen.

Sachin could have done with something like that in 2007 when he made some 10 90s or something and atleast 5 95+ scores.

Great to see Cook get runs. Lots of character.

Cook needs to go on with this. His record after reaching 100 is pretty rank.

 

[NasserFan207]

Pakistan is the funniest team to watch.

Yep, I think he's only passed 150 once?

Twice, against Bangladesh and West Indies I think. If you start his innings at 100* he probably averages 25-30.

Had 13 centuries, 282 runs (includes the present innings at 102*) dismissed 9 times. So averages 31.33 (the times when he got to 103 or whatever in one blow inflates the average slightly).

What happened for his hundred? Just got home and looking back through the thread.

Cook blocked the ball, and Asif hurled it over the keeper's head for 4.

 

[Jono]

Blocked the ball to Asif, who threw the ball to Akmal... except it was way over Akmal's ugly head and it went to the boundary

Pietersen and Strauss also have some of the worst averages after scoring 100.

Not as bad as cook. Strauss got some think like 4 or 5 150s.
KP is definitely better, 158s , 140+s and a 226.. But cook is very poor in making 100s big.

 

[GIMH]

Strauss's problem isn't getting out passed 100 but staying in the next morning

 

[Spark]

Well done Cook - just saw the cricinfo commentary.



WTF?!

I'm gonna have to get highlights tomorrow.

 

[King Pietersen]

Surprise, surprise, Cook gone cheaply after reaching a century. Get rid of him.

 

[Jacknife]

That ball didn't deserve a wicket, horrible way to get out after doing so well.

 

[grecian]

Hmm, Alastair's looked like getting out that way a few times to the left-hander, not sure if it was a plan or he was just strangled.

Still keeps this match interesting.
