*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[four_or_six]

Do we know what crowd is expected? I guess for the T20 quite a few tickets were sold before this blew up.

 

[The_roc]

Do they? Has it been confimed?

News reports are that there was a shed load of cash found in the hotel rooms and £4k of it was from NOTW.

Another little nugget from Sky ...... Salman Butt has been warned by the ICC on 5 occasions that he must report any approaches from potential fixers.

I do really love Nasser.

Not a big turn out by the looks of it (unless they are hiding in the dry somewhere).

It's the first 20/20 since the world cup, so would be nice to see a good reception from a big crowd.

 

[The_roc]

Ravi in for KP.

Will we see the swashbuckling domestic 20/20 batsman, or the tippy tappy international failure?

 

[King Pietersen]

Hopefully the same swashbuckling cricketer that hammered Bangladesh a few weeks back. Would love to see Ravi back playing properly for England. He's such a joy to watch when he's playing properly.

I'm finding myself agreeing with England's selections more and more often these days.

Pak lose the toss and go from $2.95 to $3.55



Now call me crazy here fellas, I'm thinking of putting a $10er on Pakistan

 

[King Pietersen]

Great start from Sidebottom.

Fix'd.

Yousef rode his look a bit while he was in,both batsman have miss hit quite a few balls, but they've managed to drop inbetween fielders.Great start from Swann & Yardy.
Brilliant bowling from Swann, Pakistan having a huge problem getting the spin away.

 

[King Pietersen]

Graeme Swann WAFG. He's actually too good.

Woah, look at that one go. This has been an excellent pitch so far. Pace and bounce for the seamers and now lavish turn from the spinners, especially Swann. That first delivery to Akmal turned a mile.

 

[superkingdave]

Hmm, what kind of pitch is this? Ajmal & Afridi will take a few

 

[Uppercut]

This is taking crazy amounts of spin. England missing KP already I reckon .

 

[_Ed_]

Terrific stumping by Davies. Impressed by what I've seen of him so far.

 

[Jacknife]

Plumb Lbw not given.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Swann's last ball of the previous over was possibly the biggest spinning off-break I've seen outside of Murali. Massive turn, must've been, what, 1.5-2 feet?

Yardy tad unlucky there. Looked good in real time and hawkeye has it hitting middle.

 

[Uppercut]

Tough to give any front-foot lbws here, though.

 

[Spark]

Man, imagine if we had had this last year, that would've been fun.

 

[King Pietersen]

Tim Bresnan. WAT.
