***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

[GIMH]

Stuart Broad is going to be the best player of the decade IMO. His runs are a bonus in all honesty, but what a ****ing player he is becoming.

Hands up if you backed him in the face of strong opposition fro
Richard and others right from the start

*raises hand*

Have they taken the new ball?

Not yet, but it seems they're about to.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Great time to be watching a match if you are an Aussie or a Kiwi.

If it was on TV...

Anyway, despite my dislike of Broad, he really does have the skills to be England's Vettori - a bowler who can bat in the top six. Except with less 'unique' technique and more effective with the ball.

 

[Fusion]

Good, new ball taken and Gul coming back.

A more orthodox Cairns in my eyes.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Why not go full and see if there is any swing on offer. Why does Gul just go through the motions.

Misbah needs to bowl Junaid more imo....

Loving it.

Umer Gul running as if someone put a bamboo up his ass.

Awta....need to bowl Junaid more...

 

[GIMH]

Close to a lead here, still got Swann, Jimmy and Monty to come. Could do any which way this. Lead of 100 not out of the question but neither is one of 10

Obviously I don't expect Jimmy or Monty to score too many, but Jimmy can hang around while the other batsman scores, and well maybe Monty will replicate his last batting performance

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Gul flaking it. Why does he do this to us.

 

[Fusion]

Well the new ball strategy didn't work.

 

[Faisal1985]

complete trash from Gul.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

No it's Gul who didn't work. If it was Asif, a wicket would have fallen by now.

 

[Pothas]

That's the lead, this is already a little gem of an innings but it could yet be a seriously good one.

 

[Athlai]

How is Gul 27? I'd swear he is 32 or so.

 

[Xuhaib]

Umer Gul should be dropped on the basis of this effort. No pace no bite makes Indian fast bowlers look like Malcom Marshal.

 

[Pothas]

No it's Gul who didn't work. If it was Asif, a wicket would have fallen by now.

Yeah but you know he is in prison...

About as relevant as saying Sydney Barnes would have a wicket by now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good hour for us, now back it up with another to give us control of the match.
