You beauty..
Another wicket.. gets Harmison his 7th 5-for..

Afridi - dumbest cricketer on the planet?

There are times when he needs to realise he is not playing on a sub continent road and that you can play aggressively without trying to hit every single ball for 6.

 

[GIMH]

Unreal. Unreal. What a performance.

 

[silentstriker]

Its between him and Dohni i think.

Agreed.

 

[GIMH]

So you think England will bat on day 2 after losing the toss?

Which bowler will take out that middle order today then?

Which middle order is that? Just seems to go from top to bottom in minutes

Steulen's got the Greig sewn up, one feels.

Mind, I'm not looking forward to England's middle order on this pitch. Kaneria to get 9/19.

I have tickets for Saturday and I fear for my value for money at this rate!

Good on you GBH.

 

[GIMH]

All I can say is how glad I am I opted for Friday tickets instead of Sunday when LCCC rang to tell me they had no Saturday tickets left

England had Harmison. Pakistan have........?

 

[grecian]

Wowser, did he even see it

 

[silentstriker]

Sami.

 

[Jono]

Great delivery, Razzaq despite often being able to dig in doesn't have a good technique... it showed there.

Man am I lucky though. Gul was paying $1.50 to be the next wicket, and I went to put $20 on it but instead I put $200, and bet365 told me that I did not have enough funds to place that bet. Next ball, Razzaq is clean bowled.

Saved myself $20

England had Harmison. Pakistan have........?

Well Sami tends to turn up once a year doesn't he?

 

[GIMH]

I think we are all justifiably worrying about our limited attack. Steve Harmison has come to the party today, here's hoping this marks a return to form for him.

I wonder where Richard is and what he would have to say about GBH's performance today

Harmison gets another..
I am soo jealous of PY and geriantismyhero..

 

[TT Boy]

Great way to finish an awful innings off.

Monty improving his bowling strike rate from this match..

Edit: that was a runout..

 

[Scaly piscine]

I know I'm only listening on radio and checking cricinfo, but it seemed to me to be a pretty gutless innings from Pakistan - I think if it had been Australia they'd have took their blows from Harmison and hung on a lot longer.

Anyway time to see if I can catch the wickets on Sky Sport News (ugh).

Both Marc and superkingdave are there right now.

Edit: I wonder what people would have been saying had they seen Jim Laker's ten-for live...

It was, not guts or determination, one of the most abysmal batting displays I have seen in a while.
