On the plus side, I got a sleigh in the first door of my advent calendar.

Unlike England batsman and housewives with obsessive compulsive disorder, Pakistan don’t feel the need to sweep every two minutes.

Classic.

Bet365 now using 465 as their par score for over/under betting.

Two words sum up the difference: Batting Discipline.

I'm actually thinking of four other words which I think compliments your two pretty well: Shaun Udal, England bowler.

LOL LMAO - those 3 wickets cost england a chance to win this match, unless they play good in the 2nd inns

 

[Neil Pickup]

Substitute "play good" with "channel the spirits of Laxman and Dravid" and you're close.

 

[Nate]

Great to see, great to see...
I really like Akmal, and I hear he`s been `keeping well, so it`s good he`s got some runs to back it up.

 

[ClownSymonds]

England have given up. They've resorted to cheating. Belly in to bowl.

 

[ClownSymonds]

If you really believe in the English team, now would be a good time to put in a bet. They're at 17.00 to win.

 

[Dasa]

Aren't you being a tad over-sensitive yourself? TBH If you hadn't have brought it up i'm sure no-one would have noticed. The way i read it ....clown was just giving Yousuf a compliment

Umm... I didn't bring it up in the first place...I just provided a possible explanation for a harsh reaction from a different forummer.

Or, alternatively, you could burn your money or, better still, send it to me.

KP now making extravagant loosening-up gestures and trying to catch Vaughan's eye...

I disagree. If you put Younis Kahn back into that team, who is a good batsman, and if Asim Kamal can get into the form he was in late last year/early this year, they don't have that bad a batting line-up. In fact I reckon its pretty decent.

Still an opener short though.

 

[marc71178]

So on other words your saying that English attack is not strong enough?

No, I think he's saying that one swallow does not a summer make.

Are you referring to the ashes win with the above comment Marc??

 

[Nate]

You think?

 

[Burpey]

Yousuf and Kamran

 

[marc71178]

Bumble now resorting to telling everyone about the Badshai (sp?) Mosque in Lahore, which is admittedly a stunning bit of architecture. Now telling us all about what you can buy in the old city - clothing, padlocks, antiques, bicycles...

Did he mention his new alarm clock and the trick played on him by Freddy and Harmo?

 

[marc71178]

Will inzi be comming out to bat any time soon?

Doesn't sound like it - for him to come in, England need to get a wicket, and that's not happening.

 

[Zinzan]

If England do lose this match and its a 2-0 result. One thinks they can thank their lucky stars it wasn't a 3-0 whitewash considering that badlight likely saved them in the 2nd test draw
