*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[BoyBrumby]

Wonder what sort of reception Aamer's going to get.

Turns out it's silence. A small chorus of boos, but generally silence around the ground.

Silence is HQ's equivalent of "angry villagers with torches and pitchforks" tho, tbf.

Feel genuinely gutted for our chaps, actually. One of the great stands & recoveries will now be pretty much a footnote.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Younis Khan and Shahid Afridi, by the sounds of things.

I also haven't heard Imran Farhat, Azhar Ali, Saeed Ajmal or Yasir Hameed implicated yet.

 

[Spikey]

Bloody hell. Who wasn't involved?

Afridi by the sounds of it. So at least they have a captain to go back to

 

[Sir Alex]

Nothing compared with what he could have had in a decade of service in the IPL.

He'd make 25 times better than that playing just one season in the IPL.

I'll say. Will do my best to remember it for what it was, though.

3 people yet to be unveiled though.

Swann match figures: 8/36. Wag.

 

[Sir Alex]

Younis Khan and Shahid Afridi, by the sounds of things.

Where d' you hear that both are implicated?

Younis Khan highely unlikely.

 

[stumpski]

Are we on for the biggest England win since Oval '38 here?

That one was an innings and 579, IIRC.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Him and Ajmal stick out as blokes who value that white shirt.

They do,weed out the cheats and build a new team with players who actually want to play.

As for this game i hope Swann gets a 5 fer even if it is overshadowed by other things.Not his fault.

 

[Shri]

Where d' you hear that both are implicated?

Younis Khan highely unlikely.

He said not implicated.

 

[Manee]

This whole thing is surreal.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Bloody hell. Who wasn't involved?

They said 7 players have been implicated. That's pretty much half the squad. Bet Mohammad Yousuf (if he's innocent) wishes he wasn't recalled for the series. Pretty much everyone is under a cloud now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Where d' you hear that both are implicated?

Younis Khan highely unlikely.

He means that they were disliked by the rest as they wouldn't throw games and played it straight.If the article is to be believed of course.

 

[King Pietersen]

Swanny's yet to get a 5fer at Lord's, should be an ideal opportunity to do so. Also a good chance of surpassing his BBI too.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Younis Khan highely unlikely.

That's what I meant - I intended to quote Flem's question of "who wasn't involved".

I'm trying to figure out who Pakistan would pick if they all get banned.

Farhat
Hameed
Younis
Alam
Ali
Malik
Haider
Afridi
Ajmal
Gul
Rauf?

Jaysus.

 

[GotSpin]

If only the Twelfth Man was still around. So much material for him

Asim Kamal could be in for a recall. That guy was a gutsy player.

Oh ok. FP.

Expecting an Akmal special here, although it all looks really futile at the moment.
