***Official*** England in Pakistan

Dog Collingwood edges one to vacant slip, then hits himself out to point. I wonder why teams never have first slips anymore...

 

[Barney Rubble]

Right, Geraint. Time to pull your bloody socks up, your team needs you.

What is it with you and these bizarre nicknames? Is no-one allowed to have a first name any more?

When someone looks quite like something, they might as well take that something's name.

Sami looks a much better bowler in ODIs.

Interesting philosophy. From now on Inzy's new name is "Amorphous Bearded Blob", and Blackwell's is "Amorphous Beardless Blob".

You can't do that. You can only use one word as a name, plus the man's actual surname.

What about Beard-ul-Haq, and Blob Blackwell? Actually, Ian Blobwell sounds better.

The first two are valid. The last one is not.

Edit: Actually, I don't know about the first. Inzamam doesn't look like a beard.

 

[Nate]

Yes sir.

 

[ClownSymonds]

Pakistan should get Afridi in to replace Sami. Spin at both ends would be good here.

Anyway, back to the cricket.......

Blackwell could have a job to do here if this partnership is broken soon.

That worked

 

[ClownSymonds]

That worked

Yeah, I am a brilliant captain, aren't I?

 

[Jono]

Ahh brilliant. Well bowled Shahid

 

[deeps]

22.4 Shahid Afridi to Flintoff, OUT: tossed up, was a legbreak, tried to
play on the on side, beaten and hit the back leg in frotn of
middle stump, huge shout for lbw and Rudi slow finger of death
went up! big wicket for Pakistan and bigger for Afridi!

 

[aussie]

well with Freddie gone probably englands chances, great chance for Blackie to be a hero but has david llyod is rightly saying the ball is turning plus the light factor.

 

[ClownSymonds]

Abdur Razzaq could be a massive threat here too, if he is used. His cutters could move a lot on this pitch.

 

[ClownSymonds]

There was some crazy fan in an Australian ODI uniform swinging around a big bottle. He had fairly long, blond-dyed hair and a David Beckham fake mohawk.

 

[Jono]

Geraint Jones gone now. I still reckon he's useless in ODIs when you have Prior in the team. Pakistan closing in on a series victory here.

 

[aussie]

geez Jones, really what was that?
