*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

Hope Broad gets 5

 

[Kylez]

I am hoping Ali gets a decent score here, as he is my favourite batsmen from Pakistan.

Has shown he is capable as well.

 

[Jacknife]

Broad seems to have dropped his speed to help with the swing.

 

[Jayzamann]

30/7, then records start falling again, declare at 450/8 with a session to go for kicks.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I wouldn't say perfect, ball's doing plenty

Not as much as when Amir was running through us and Trott stayed firm though.

I reckon it's been about the same tbh, Anderson has bowled some massive out swingers and not to mention Broad's bowling to.

Finn bowling some dross though.

 

[Uppercut]

Interesting tactics from Butt here. The ball probably won't swing for very long so it's odd to be attacking so early on. Suppose they need a win here though.

 

[Jacknife]

A decent fist over from Finn even though it went for 6 ,but he lost his line and length in his 2nd over.

Question how tactical it is to give four balls their due.

 

[Spark]

Seriously what's happened to Finn?

 

[GIMH]

Don't want to be too harsh on him, but the way I've felt in the last few Tests is that Finn seems to come on and take the pressure off after good starts from Broad and Anderson

 

[honestbharani]

Azhar Ali will probably make a better test batsman than Umar Akmal.. I mean that guy's got a head waaaaay too big for his stature in Pak cricket at present..


Can't believe how he is too, given his role models would probably have been Inzy, Younis or Yousuf, pretty nice guys all of them, at least from a distance.

 

[Jamee999]

What's the largest difference between 2nd highest score and 3rd highest score in a test?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Finn's overpitching badly. Seems to be aiming at the stumps too much. Is clearly a back of a length bowler.

 

[Burgey]

So imagine how bad it's going to be for you out here, when the ball doesn't swing, and he's coming on to bowl mud after a mud start from the other muppets

Would wager it was pretty insane in that dig when Mahela got this 370 odd and Sanga got a 250.. If you are talking about completed innings though, that is a completely different story..

 

[Jacknife]

Better over from Finn.

 

[GIMH]

Beauty from Swann

 

[chalky]

Butt in all sorts of trouble against Swann.

 

[Jacknife]

Beautiful first over from Swanny,big turn.
