This interview with Inzy is unreal. It's Urdu with random bits of English thrown in.. "fight back quality" "fighting spirit "positive results" "last day" "one ninety-seven" "pressure"... sounds like an extra in Star Wars...

Interesting comment from Mohammad Akram - England lacking a middle order player like Thorpe, Butcher or Hussain...

fair comment.........Vaughan would help for a start though. I bet all those "Thorpe should be picked before Pietersen" fans think the same thing

I only saw the last hour or so and from what I saw Aktar and Kaneria looked very dangerous on that 5th day wicket with the ball doing plenty in the air and off the deck. I would say it was a spineless effort from England (from what i saw anyway). It didn't look easy to bat out there.

That was REALLY surprising. I expected Akhtar to come out and just swing and get out like he did in Australia last summer. Instead he grinded it out and stayed there a while.

I thought Akhtar's committment through this test was like nothing I'd ever seen from him.

I agree that Freddie should be batting at number 7 but when you think about it there would have to be a lot of messing about with the team to do this and I doubt anyone would agree with taking such drastic measures.

More than just a lot of messing.

For a start you need a number 6 batsman who can either bowl or keep wicket...

well i think i heard either before the ashes or before the SA series last winter that Fletcher aim was to eventually have Jones batting at 6 & Fred at 7...

If that were so, he'd have done it by now.

:D haha. The English really did play well in that series but I think people have overated some players from the series and are calling them greats of all-time cricket where they havnt really played very well in other series.

So the previous 5 series to that were in our imagination then were they?

We didn't outplay SA in SA (only the 2nd country to win there since readmission)

Hate to stir things up, but all this talk about Giles doing well on the sub-continent, he had 1/111 in the test, and that one wicket was Akhtar. Now the pitch wasn't a dustbowl, and the England pacers were getting the wickets, but that's very very average.

Why do cricinfo always have rubbish headlines?

I don't call a tight 22 run defeat being destroyed!

They consistantly display all the sensationalism of a pot of jam..

So what will u call 175 all out in half a day? great batting?
