*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[Manee]

Pakistan bowlers useless when it doesn't swing.

 

[grecian]

Can Broad just cut out the off-side attacking shots, he's just really poor at 'em, looks much classier on the opposite side.

Guys, I've moved the posts re: the ICC awards to the new thread Marcuss started up, so you can find them again more easily when you want to discuss them

I take it this is the way the pitch is going to play for most of the game? Makes the morning session all the more advantageous for Pakistan, rly

Which side did the sun rise from today? Holding catches, diving and taking sharp chances.....!!! Kamran holding all of his catches...what's going on??? ON top of all that they even used there review properly! Nahh...too much for me to digest...is this one of those blips of brilliance???

Nah its just one of those concentration moments before it lapses.

Well, wouldn't thought we could get 200 after being 94/7, but just shows its a decent pitch,should probably have been looking at 400+

This is a pretty flat pitch, especially when the sun comes out. England bowlers really need to be on top of their game if you ask me especially if they dont get the ball to swing early.

wtf is sledger doing in cricket chat

I've just not been feeling myself lately.

I hope this top order collapse serves as a kick up the arse, despite the previous two having no effect. Our batting is simply not good enough and this shows it. Bye-bye Cook.

I kind of wish we'd been bowled out for less than 100 so they would get the idea! Like what happened to the Aussies the other week.

Has anyone noticed that the England players are getting a bit more drawn in to only talking about the Ashes? Focus on the now.

I'm all about the negative.

This sounds like the sort of pitch which will really test Anderson's defensive bowling.

Why did we not see hotspot from the side on angle on that review?

Dont think Cook is going anywhere and if anything Pietersen has less rope than him having failed in South Africa and also struggled across formats. Dont think either of them will be left out anytime soon, though, if anything it only means that Carberry might make the plane to Australia.

Sweet fiver.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh look a newbie bowling a variation and getting a wicket. Who'd have thought it.

 

[GIMH]

Good knock from broad anyway

We have now, and he still didn't hit it.

 

[four_or_six]

Great to see Broad getting some runs again, especially when we need them.

Would hope we can make something close to 250 now, that would be excellent.

 

[stumpski]

Not going to waste a review on Anderson, surely ...

 

[tooextracool]

Does it really matter? One wicket left, may as well. At least it was closer than the plumb lbw decision that Broad had reviewed.
