I have faith in england and i have faith in Trescothick. A great day for udal tomorow and i am sure he will make the most of it

oh its not, you just need to be able to understand the fact that every pace bowler needs some help however small to be able to succeed.social said:

You're right.Shahid Afridi said:
England only took Australia's scalp this summer. The last time Pakistan did so much as draw a game with them was 10 tests ago, in 1998 or so.
Really obvious as to why they should have greater confidence.

I appreciate that.social said:
The point I was making (badly) was that Shoaib has alluded to wanting to 'put the past behind him' and to stop being a bonehead, hence the 'born again' bit.
Personally, I'll believe it when I see it, but the man can be box-office and a match-winner.
What are we going to see tomorrow? The Rawalpindi Express or the Pindi Bhaji? It's anyone's guess.

Giles has played exactly 2 tests in India and hardly set the world alight in those.tooextracool said:
I could launch into some meaningless dialogue about how he took wickets by bowling 1 - 2 feet outside leg-stump because he had run out of ideas. But what's the point?
Anyway, I'll leave you with this: Michael Clarke has a better record than Ash in India

Well if he took wickets by doing that, his tactics clearly worked...

If Michael Clarke was English, I'd pick him on his bowling. His batting, however, sucks.

Pakistani attack, depending on which Shoaib turns up, could be really useful.
Naved looks potentially a very good bowler.
Afridi has really improved.
Sami is now close to being dangerously underrated.
However, if anything, Kaneria is becoming overrated. He's good but not near Warne's class.
Should be a very good series.
Anyway, Im off to catch a bit of shut-eye before the start as my 11 day old son doesnt keep respectable hours yet.
