***Official*** England in Pakistan

[Pedro Delgado]

Pedro,

?

Sub on for KP.

But anything below 3.0 is too low considering sides like Australia try to maintain a run rate of 3.5-4.0 in test matches.If Pakistan maintain their current R/R,they'll hardly score 250 by the end of the day.

Look who you are up against, a team that recently won the ashes beating Australia. 59/0 in the first one hour, I will take this any day against any kind of opposition in a 5-day match.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

60-0 is a very good start. Not all teams have a Tres or a Sehwag to blast away.

Thanks God it has crossed 3.5 for once.Butt is looking more confident now.

What on earth are you talking about? Salman Butt was watchful, but he appeared totally in control of his actions. He was playing like a 'proper' opener.

What would you prefer, incidentally, at the end of the first day? 360 all out or 270-3?

No disrespect to Colly, who is picked primarily as a batsman and has improved his bowling, but as a batsman you'd have to be happy facing him at 60 - 0 on the first morning.

I want all these matches to be result oriented without caring for whoever wins.The Test series shouldn't end up 0-0.

If Pakistan are 270 - 3 at the end of play, theyre in front and stand a good chance of winning.

If they get bowled out for 320 before stumps, they'll be kicking themselves.

Even though my prediction is 2-1 in favor of England I would rather have Pakistan draw the series 0-0 than lose 1-2 and this is the first time in my life I am supporting a Pakistan team to win.

Private TV channels in Pakistan r not alowed to telecast cricket matches anymore.Its PTV telecasting it for the Pakistanis world-over.

 

[mofo123]

I predict Pakistan to win the series at home, with Danish Kaneria being their main wicket taker. Either 2-1 or 2-0 .

 

[Shoaib]

Just like Geo Tv did at the time of Pakistan-New Zealand Series in 2004. Just sick to Sky Sports or PTV if u want to watch the telecast live.

TMS

Doesn't look like its available to Int. users.

 

[Shoaib]

Beleg,do u have any idea about why ARY r not telecasting the match?

 

[superkingdave]

finally, maybe looked like going over the top but not much bounce in the wicket i guess

 

[Neil Pickup]

Nah, only slight doubt I had in real time was whether it was hitting leg or sliding down. Now, another before lunch and we share the session, which would've been unthinkable a few minutes ago.
