***Official*** Pakistan in England

[Fusion]

I know everyone seems to be tanking today, but Shoaib Malik has had a very forgetable ODI series so far.

By the way, is England really bowling this well or are Pak batsmen just playing crap today?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Since when did Michael Yardy bowl at 79mph?

 

[ClownSymonds]

Inzi gone, game England.

 

[PY]

Another one.

What on earth is going on? Pakistan can't be playing this badly!

 

[Pedro Delgado]

England's unplayable spin duo strike.

 

[wpdavid]

Yeah, you didn't really feel England are in control though did you?

Haha, what was I thinking? Yardy for the World Cup.

Yup. The idea that Yardy might rip out their middle order really didn't cross my mind.

But much more of this and he's a certainty for the ICC tourny.

 

[Fusion]

What a horrible collapse! As I was leaving for work, I heard Holding describe the pitch as perfectly suited for batting. This is pathetic stuff from Pakistan.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Since when did Michael Yardy bowl at 79mph?

Yardy = the new Afridi?

 

[ClownSymonds]

This might be another Shoaib Akhtar top scores against England incident.

I haven't seen him bat, but Yardy does look like an English Afridi.

 

[superkingdave]

It's plain sailing for these two with 18,000 ODI runs between them against Yardy & Dalrymple. Try something different!

Dead set Greig PY

 

[Barney Rubble]

Dead set Greig PY

For sure.

 

[PY]

Beggar off both of you.

Yardy did try something different.

 

[Barney Rubble]

I would not be too surprised if Pakistan still made 220+ from here, they have batting all the way down to Shoaib at 10 so if these two are still in by the time last eight overs or so come around, there will be room for some slogging. Also, Yardy and Dalrymple will have to come off sometime.

 

[ClownSymonds]

Shoaib in now. Why is KP bowling?

 

[TT Boy]

We might win this…

keep up the goatmouth

and Shoaibs in a t 9, though if KP carries on bowling 250 is not out of the question

 

[TT Boy]

Shoaib in now. Why is KP bowling?

Because the Paks are playing spin horrendously bad?

 

[ClownSymonds]

KP doesn't bowl spin. He bowls garbage.

Goatmouth?

Hard to believe Kamran Akmal is the same kid who scored two tons against us last winter. His been ****ing abysmal (putting it mildly) the whole summer.
