*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[King Pietersen]

What an innings. Eoin Morgan is a fantastic cricketer. Easily our best One Day batsman at the moment, Pietersen's going to have to do something special to get his spot as #1 back.

Too hard a target for this Pak batting line up...unless a Mo Yo special comes up...it will a tough task...

He should concentrate on getting back in the team before trying to be number 1 again mate.

Classy innings from Morgan, he's becoming more and more English every day. I really hope he can continue this form in the winter. I'd love him to stamp his authority on the Test side against the filth.

 

[Jayzamann]

How can they be so over time?

Surely they should have some overs taken off or penalty runs should be added for England.

Waiting for Davies to come out as a runner took a while.

Ooo ooo ooo... Watto interview in the break!

The more I see of Morgan, the more I like him. Wonderful player of spin, rotates strike beautifully in the middle overs and can score quickly at the death. You'd almost wonder whether he was actually English.

 

[Teja.]

Yeah, wonderful cricketer. Atleast on his way to become an ODI ATG IMO.

The new Fairbrother. Ahh.. that reminds me how much I loved Neil Fairbrother. People forget he was the one who set the trend for the likes of Bevan, Hussey, Dhoni etc.

Waiting for Davies to come out as a runner took a while.

Not enough time to be 15 minutes late finishing though.

 

[Woodster]

Decent total in the end for England, thanks to Colly/Morgan partnership, and Morgan/Bresnan effort. Was looking more 230 at one point, but Morgan continues to impress when his side needs him, and when the pressure's on.

Pitch seems decent so the impact made by batting under lights may be vital if it seams around a touch more. Pakistan's fielding towards the end was very ordinary, we simply have to be sharper. Should be a good chase, Akmal played two impressive strokes to the first two deliveries of the reply.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Top start from pie man.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Another stunning effort, two boundaries to a guy with a career strike rate to rival Boycott.

Sounds like Pakistan fans in the majority this evening.

Our opening bowlers are definitely our weak point. Unless Anderson has a good day, it's just waiting for Broad and Swann to get on and do something.

I think Anderson has been really good in the ODi's except that 1 over last time,Bresnan should be no where near opening though.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh good some more ****house bowling.

 

[four_or_six]

Jimmy's been okay I think, but I just feel Broad is a lot more likely to get wickets.

As you say, I'm not sure about Bresnan at all. I would like to see us give Shazhad or Finn a crack before the world cup.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh **** off England. Morgan bails you out and you serve up this complete ****e.

 

[Faisal1985]

Well a surprisingly decent and match winning opening stand so far by these too, Hafeez has given some stability in the opening slot to Pak. It should be easy pickings for Yousuf and Alam as the required run rate would not be ridiculously high...if they can see through Swann's 10 overs..there is no reason why Pak would lose this game...

 

[Jacknife]

That was plumb,if you don't get those you'll never get a Lbw.

 

[King Pietersen]

Least the umpire's consistent though, Collingwood got away with one too.
