***Official*** Pakistan in England

[Scaly piscine]

You were commenting about Speed chastising Inzi for talking to the press about Hair. That was the issue. Yet you then went into a personal tirade against Inzi. The discussion was not about whether he's a good captain, or if he is a fit player. Yet you chose to make digs about those irrelavent points in your rant. That shows your childish mentality. As for the Hair quote, what does it matter if it was directed towards the PCB or media? He was using the press to make his points, just like Inzi and the PCB. Yet you chose to ignore Hair's actions, while ripping into Inzi's. I'm sure that's not hypocrisy on your part.

Having a go at the media (to Hair's extent) is ok, having a go at the people you're in an ongoing case with is not. As for my 'tirade' which is basically correct whether you like it or not it doesn't even come close to the rants against Hair on here.

good point scaly...

tis getting scary..im agreeing with Scaly :O

All hail Lord Scaly!
The one who is always right, regardless of anyone else's opinion.

The only point I made about Inzi that is even vaguely disputable is that he's fairly stupid, the rest are backed up by numerous obvious incidents (him being fairly stupid might well be backed up by numerous incidents but I can't be bothered checking).

 

[Mecnun]

Typical of your hatred towards Pakistan to launch into a personal attack on Inzi. Wish someone could muzzle your big fat mouth. By the way, I remember Hair making comments after the fact too. One of them being something like "they'll all pay after the truth comes out". I don't remember you going all hysterical after him. Get off your high horse.

It's not a horse..It's a donkey. ; ) .

 

[Mecnun]

I think it is more about Englands current attitude to fast bowling, which seems be grab any youngster that has played a handfull of county games and who seems to have some pace.

pakistan have a similar attitude towards opening batters.

 

[aussie]

I hope the rosebowl isn't a flat deck 2moro, because if Pakistan bat first againts this appauling looking England seam attack, things could get extremely ugly.

 

[steds]

Things will get ugly anyway. Most worried about the fact our appalling seam attack is doing all the batting.

The only point I made about Inzi that is even vaguely disputable is that he's fairly stupid, the rest are backed up by numerous obvious incidents (him being fairly stupid might well be backed up by numerous incidents but I can't be bothered checking).

But why did you make the points about Inzi being stupid and unfit when commenting about the Speed story? There is no relevance. See, I might be tempted to call you extremely stupid, childish, and a massive whiner. But I won't. No relevance, you see. By the way, for a "stupid" and "unfit" player, Inzi is in the top 11 all-time of run scorers and has Pakistan currently ranked 3rd in the world as a Captain. What a loser.

 

[Complicated]

Well, Speed is criticizing Inzy for foolish conduct or potentially 'stupid' comments because they are inappropriate. So obviously Inzy's conduct and his attitude generally are relevant to all the discussions. There's no great logic leap there and childish personal attacks quantified by the word "might" don't really do much to support your arguement... rather it makes you look like a hypocrit. For example:

Come on Fusion conspiracy theories can only go so far.....

Ok so let's say for the moment that Scaly attacking Inzi's "mental faculties" is appropriate to the discussion. I see that you conveniently left out the fact that he also makes snide remarks about his fitness. What did Inzi's fitness level have anything to do with Speed's criticism? As for my comments being childish...guilty as charged. Sometimes, I can't help but answer fire with fire. Or mud with mud. Should know better. And finally, please do enlighten me as to what conspiracy theory I ever referred to??

 

[marc71178]

When the initial incident happened, I felt sorry for Inzy because I don't think he was behind the no-play and he is only charged as he in the captain.

However he shouldn't be speaking about the incident (especially not repeatedly), so its about time he was told to shut up.

Should be a top match tonight, can`t wait.

I`m tipping a big Pietersen innings.

Asif injured then, is he?

 

[Mecnun]

Well Pieterson is due a half decent score as is Tresco with or without Asif. There is only so long a bowler can keep dominating an aggresive batter. Shoaib on the other hand!! Well it should dbe an interesting match if rain doesnt spoil it again.. I wish I could watch it.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Pietersen

It's soon time that KP had a big innings in a ODI, it's worrying that he might turn out to be a bit like Hirwani, the indian spinner who took 16 wickets on debut, then nothing else ever again, but in a a batting sense.

I didn't say anything directly about his fitness, I just said if he can't keep his mouth shut he should shovel food in it instead. Implying Inzi has a penchant for food is hardly something people couldn't come to the same conclusion about is it?

As for the mud with mud stuff, that's ironic considering nearly all the mud slinging comes from one camp over this whole ball tampering issue.

Recently he's been batting four, which means he's only been in during the middle overs - apparently the selectors don't realise that he's far more dangerous at the end of an innings. He needs to move back to five, but due to the fact that Paul Collingwood's usefulness as an ODI player is rapidly diminishing, we can't really afford to do that unless we're going to bring in another top order batsman.

Does anybody know what the weather forecast is for today's match??
I really hope to see a full 50 over match.

I'm in Southampton, and the weather is cloudy, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain. Forecast for later on seems okay as well. Fingers crossed we'll get a full game.
