***Official*** England in Pakistan

[Beleg]

A grave error in judgement there by Trescothick.

Game's on.

Today's bread product of the day is the Crumpet.

Can someone explain to me how far the stump went? Cricinfo says 10ft

 

[Nate]

C`mon Pakistan!

 

[Zinzan]

Surely England should try something different here....I don't know exactly what, but Maybe Pieterson going in at 3 with a free license. I appreciate its a taunting prospect, but they are 1 down in the series and if they just try and hang on to a draw the best they can hope for is a drawn series. I can tell you now.....Australia would give this target a crack !! especially if they were 1-0 down on the series. Obviously if they lose early wickets they can try and hold on...but surely they have to start positively !!!!

 

[Beleg]

Didn't really notice how far it go.

The last ball was an absolute beauty. Wish it had pitched a couple of inches to the right.

Didn't sound like a positive start for England...trying to leave a ball that hit the stumps ?? Couldn't have done any worse if he tried to hit it

That hit off and middle. Worse than either of Clarke or Katich's Ashes leaves.

zinzan:

It was an error in judgement not only because of the line of the ball, but because of the length. If the ball had not swung in, It would have gone through the fifth or sixth stump, and possibly further.

It swung back in sharply. Tresco didn't realize it until too late and tried to block it by moving his leg forward, obviously with no luck.

lol cricinfo says at least 10 ft.

Hey Zinzan.. we need a cricket channel mate. We should be able to watch this!

 

[jack_sparrow]

Did it fall near the keeper? cuz the keeps appx 10 feet back.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Forget the crumpets, make it croissants.

MOVE YOUR FEET!!!

No one's ever gonna stand three metres back to Shoaib Akhtar bowling at 95mph. Fifty feet is closer.

 

[Nate]

GOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Naved seems to have bowled very well this test. Confirmation?

It`s on!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Akhtar bowling up a storm!

Exactly. It would make a refreshing change from the rubbish sports I recieved from Sky for my $50 dollars a month like womens bowls and american college athletics

2 overs, 2 wickets. Amazing what batting teams do when they have been set a fourth innings total. Their minds become nervous and leads to more wickets. Pretend its day 1.

I agree with that too.
