*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

That was a MUCH needed breakthrough. Was a good delivery angling in and just going away, which made him stretch for it and nick it.

What the **** was that bull **** Colly,that's 3 batsman that have got themselves out.We have got too many batters out of nick and it's beginning to look stupid,in these conditions this shouldn't be happening
The worst thing is Cook did all the hard work,England only had to plug away till they got to about 300 and they would of felt comfortable.

****ing awful shot from Colly, this batting line-up has performed really poorly in this match worrying stuff.
They've been poor all series - slightly obscured by poor Pakistan catching, but clearly evident nonetheless.

Oh, and another completely inept shot, this time from Morgan.

Fact is that, as a unit, they've been ****ing amateur in all 3 tests: saved by a couple of individual knocks, poor Pak fielding and the weakness of the Pak batting.

****ing hell. Pietersen is really starting to bug me now. Looks uncharacteristically tentative at the crease, never looks settled at the crease and then keeps chucking his wicket away playing defensive shots to decent, but not magnificent deliveries. Don't get me wrong, that was a good delivery from Ajmal, it did turn; but it wasn't a jaffer. It was an off-spinner that actually turned. He should have played it better. When is he finally going to score another century?
It's what happens when an attacking batsman gets criticised for "throwing" away his wicket on good scores and tries to play more circumspectly.

He's good enough to absolutely dominate bowling, why he bats within himself is beyond me.

How is Ajaml getting away with bowling doosras btw, utterly horrible action that should be looked at.

I feel myself identifying with Scaly ever more by the minute. This is poor, hopefully these last three can bunt us up to a 200 lead, hopeful I know but with their reputation for collapses, you can never be quite sure. After all no-one expected us to get to 230 from 94/7, so there's hope yet.

Has been IIRC. Besides, I think the game is better for doosras.

England collapses are painful enough, but having to listen to Kamran ****ing Akmal screaming at the top of his voice every 15 seconds is driving me mental. Any chance of him standing up with no helmet on to Aamer?
