***Official*** England in Pakistan

[Mecnun]

Shoaib looked tired.. Was not bowling to his normal speeds and didnt have the sprinting run up he usually has in his last spell before lunch..

 

[chipmonk]

Well, looks like the umpires have decided they want England to escape with the draw in this one.

No point in watching further. I'm off to bed.

Well surprise, surprise ..... the umpires again make sure that england get away.

Hair has been Diabolical this series.

Has collingwood done enough in this game to cement a spot ??

Nope, sadly. He'll be straight out of the side once Strauss is back. Who do you drop? Unless Simon Jones is unfit I can't see any way to squeeze him in.

EDIT: Especially now he's out, for 80.

 

[Right arm fast]

hope for collingwood he gets his hundred after being unlucky in the first dig

Poor Kaneria finally got a wicket! How close was that second LBW appeal? I'm only following the game on cricinfo...

He doesn't get one - he gets THREE! Ahahahaha

 

[Barney Rubble]

Kaneria changes the game with the removal of Pietersen and Flintoff in two balls. Bugger.

 

[Fusion]

Kaneria!!! Good to see him finally getting results!

 

[ClownSymonds]

Jesus CHRIST! Kaneria screwed by the umpires again. He had a hat-trick - Jones plumb LBW, and Hair turns it down. Pakistan really have done it all against everything this series.

 

[Fusion]

I'm not watching the game, just following the cricinfo commentary. But if that appeal for LBW for a hat trick was plumb, I hate Hair with a passion!!

 

[ClownSymonds]

But that idiot, Belly, goes next over to the Shoaib slower ball! Wooohoooo

 

[Barney Rubble]

Bell gone to Shoaib, game and gone with him. Ridiculous passage of play from England, and an outstanding one from Pakistan.

 

[ClownSymonds]

Delay tactics start - Udal getting unreasonable medical treatment on-field for getting hit on the glove.

 

[Linda]

Superb, Kaneria

I'm assuming you know how it feels to get hit on the glove by Shoaib Akhtar?

 

[aussie]

Dalm Kaneria, it seemed as if Bell & Colly were going well before he rained havoc, Jones & the have to see England through this...

 

[aussie]

stupid stupid RUDI

 

[ClownSymonds]

Rudi makes up for the blown Kaneria hat-trick by giving Jones LBW to Akhtar when it was a huge inside edge.

 

[social]

That ranks with the worst decisions ever!

Rudi has got absolutely no idea!
