*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

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

And batting...

 

[nightprowler10]

Yeah don't blame him for using that review, though Prior could need it later.

 

[stumpski]

Cue for Prior to cop an absolute shocker though.

 

[vcs]

Anderson seems to be catching up on his quota of ducks now.

 

[King Pietersen]

Prior's awesome. Pretty much everytime we're in this situation he makes runs. He's so good batting with the tail and could probably get into this side as a batsman alone; I'd take him ahead of Morgan and Cook in this line-up anyway. To have your number 7 averaging 43, capable of scoring centuries and at a good rate is such a bonus. His keeping has vastly improved as his Test career's gone on too, love Matty Prior.

 

[GIMH]

Our batting depth should not be underestimated

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmmmmm.

 

[King Pietersen]

Asif, what a knobhead. Ban the ****, can't believe he'd throw the ball back at and hit the batsman.

Seriously though, that's twice in 2 games he's done that and there'll be no serious comments at all. In the last game he marginally missed Collingwood, and now he's hit Prior. I'd loved to have seen the reaction if Broad had just done that.

 

[tombarlow123]

Ohoho we've got a Broad-y situation here! Be interesting to see what happens...

 

[stumpski]

Haha, a bit of a repeat of the Broad/Haider incident there, with a somewhat different result.

 

[GIMH]

I'll be sure to make a post in three years time when prior sustains a knee injury about how it's all Asif's fault and he should be banned

And considering Asif's history as well!

 

[tombarlow123]

AAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAH

Edit: Ooohoohooo lucky Yousuf

 

[stumpski]

Nice comedy drop from the newbie.

Didn't cost anything though.

 

[TT Boy]

Yousuf.

Pak 3 down by the close.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm always wonderful handing the guy who hasn't spun it one iota the final wicket, twice.

Absolute garbage Prior aside.

 

[nightprowler10]

Reckon Asif made himself look like a complete tool there tbh. At least his apology was better.

That Yousuf drop just now was just comical. Use your beard FFS.

 

[GIMH]

233, not a bad effort given where we where at lunch, and given pak's batting thus far, it should still be competitive

 

[stumpski]

Scaly's mood won't be improved by the news that Rudolph has just reached his 100, Yorkshire 176-1 now.

 

[Sir Alex]

Wow. Pakistan!

 

[stumpski]

I'm supposed to be going to this one on Saturday, so don't really want to see Pakistan skittled out. Getting close to England's score and taking plenty of time over it, would suit me.
