***Official*** Pakistan in England

[Fusion]

Afridi of all people proving Pakistan hope! 2 wickets in the over.

 

[Fusion]

Collingwood gone! Be still my beating heart!

Wtf was all that among the Pakistani fans about KP and chickens?

 

[Fusion]

Read gone!! Great catch!

Well that's been going on all series. Shoaib started it by doing the "chicken dance" when he dismissed KP. Kaneria did the same and it has caught on.

Bloody awful batting here, its poor shot after poor shot, theres no way this wicket is a 150, then 150 -

 

[ClownSymonds]

The yard boy should still take the Poms home here, anyway. Hopefully he won't though.

Mahmood rips into Naveed and takes Eng to all but victory.

I can always hope for an Asif hattrick!

 

[Fusion]

Kudos to Eng for leveling the series. Great comeback. Very disapointing performance in the last 2 games from Pak.

Do people think Inzy missed a trick by holding off Asif for so long?

No. Asif was quite expensive. I think he should've stuck with Afridi and Anjum and Razzaq.

 

[Barney Rubble]

A drawn series? If I was Pakistan, I'd be mightily annoyed with that.

And well done to Saj, finally showing some of that potential for once - been a while since we caught a glimpse of it.

To sum up the Pakistan tour of England, they've lost the Test Series 3-0, been penalized runs for cheating, become the first team ever to lose a Test for refusing to play and failed to beat the worst One-Day International team in history amongst the top seven nations.

Not good.

I think it started last year. I remember Shoaib doing the chicken routine in the 2nd test when he got KP immediately after he had reached 100. Don't really know what it's about though.

Was it something to do with a yellow streak that KP had in his hair at one time? The yellow streak indicating a coward or "chicken".

kaneria said it was because they thought he walked like a chicken

India circa 1975 would be slightly worse, one feels.

Yeh, and he acctually does.

LOL@ Pakistan, Sajid Mahmood guiding England home, how pitiful on your part.

And whoever said Sajid shouldn't play cricket for a living?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Although it's good to see England at last winning a couple of matches I fear that beating Pakistan at the end of a long tour after winning the toss on an Autumn morning in the Uk is far removed from what we'll be facing in the ICC Trophy and the World Cup.
The bowlers who did the damage today could well be fodder in India and the West Indies.

No. Asif was quite expensive.

Pakistan were never going to win the game from restricting England, only by bowling them out.

Had Asif come on when Saj came in, I wager he'd have got at least 1 wicket in those 2 overs...
