*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[King Pietersen]

Nope, this is exactly the same combination. Still not a fan of Sidebottom, but they had to stick with him after the World T20.

Are some front line bowlers being rested? This doesn't look like a first choice opening combination for the world champs.

I think it is. Anderson wasn't a first choice pick in the WC.

 

[Jayzamann]

I must have purged that tourney from my mind. Could have sworn Anderson would be up there in the reckoning for a spot in the t20 team.

It's the opening bowlers that won the World Cup, and as stated before Bresnan does a job in this format.

Not so convinced about Sidey, time running out on his England career methinks.

His best days are past him, and he's on the move from Notts at the end of the season.

Think we could squeeze him in at Taunton (or may be Kirby who is leaving Glouc.)

He did ok in the world cup. Just somehow fails to inspire confidence.

Fair to say Pakistan making an utter horlicks of the short ball.

Afridi in at #5. Could be fun.

Nowhere near the player he was. Further over the hill than Siddie

 

[King Pietersen]

Broad and Bresnan bowling really well here. Broad looking genuinely quick and is really troubling the batsmen with the short ball.

22/4. Broad's got 2. Afridi gone, this is going well. Wouldn't mind getting Kieswetter and Morgan into the attack now to make a game of it.

 

[Jacknife]

Well done Boom Boom.

Some truth in that, obvz.

Pakistan playing the short ball abysmally.

 

[The_roc]

Well done Boom Boom.

Brainless shot from a brainless player.

Brainless but (hopefully) not bent, at least.

Last 5 ovs 12/4 RR 2.40

Heh.

 

[Jacknife]

Sidebottom always bowls better at the death,I don't know why they open with him,but his slower balls are good at the end.
Nasser saying Pakistan are a shambles,that can't bat,field,catch and run between the wickets.LOL

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lol, Nass. Calling it as he sees it. "They haven't got a clue what they're doing....They're an absolute shambles at the moment."

 

[King Pietersen]

Hafeez playing the Fawad Alam role in this innings by the looks of things. Get Umar Akmal on strike FFS, this is dull. I want England to win, but want them chasing more than 70.

 

[91Jmay]

LOL Go on Nasser

 

[King Pietersen]

I love Umar Akmal. His brother might be an irritating muppet, but Umar's brilliant.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jeez, Hafeez is 5 off 19.

Umar smacks a Dorothy straight back over Swanneh's head.

 

[King Pietersen]

More smart work from Davies, been very impressed by his keeping.
