Not talking about this game, but if a batsman smashes the ball all over the park getting 50 runs in 25 balls hitting several sixes on grounds like Pakistan's or crashing boundaries into advertizing hoardings at will, would that not change the ball at all? The fielding side is the ONLY one who...

The stupidity in your argument is imagining anyone would do anything other than approve the validity of England's reverse swing last year. And if England started the ball rolling as is being claimed then they have EVERYthing to do with this unlike what you believe. And I am not calling you...

If you truly believe anyone would come out and admit to tampering in the Ashes last year, then I for one DO believe that you have very limited intelligence which you claim is a personal vendetta. Make some comments that prove otherwise. Edit: And read my post on the previous page before you...

I hope that one thing at least comes out of this ungodly mess. I know this is asking too much but the ICC should look at making some changes to the rules of cricket, which they seem to believe have been passed on directly when God Himself descended upon the original MCC headquarters (or wherever...

Can someone clarify to me whether the match referee has the power to override the umpires? If the match referee is the guy in charge of the test match ultimately, is appointed by the ICC for doing that, then I dont understand one point. All sources agree that Proctor spoke with the Pakistan team...

Judging by a large number of your posts saying "a win is a win" you would undoubtledly be proud if England won the Ashes if the Aussie team bus fell down a ravine and they couldnt field 11 men of international quality. You would be trumpeting your Ashes success istead of mourning the Aussie...

I can't believe how many comments I am reading in the forum which are just centered around the Ashes... there already is an Ashes debate thread in the future tours section guys... anyways, wake up and smell the barbie... you will get clobbered in Australia and all will be normal with the world...

Oh. I thought Asif was available from the second test. :-(

Personally I wouldnt have minded getting the U-19 WC Final hero Anwar Ali to have a go in the swinging conditions in England... good experience, enthusiasm of youth, and no way in hell can he be any worse than that idiot Sami. With Shoaib and Rana out injured, Shabbir out probably for good, we...

If anyone is interested, there is live audio commentary on the BBC sports website from BBC Scotland. Much better than following on Cricinfo. Pull up their Audio/Video panel and see the link there.

No idea why Inzimam wants to bat first. Serves him right that Butt's out.

Quite true, but thats India. I dont recall if Pakistan has ever let a lead like that slip in a five-match (or more) series. Still, like I said, its pretty unlikely. They will probably all be very close matches. Then again I dont ever recall Pakistan losing a match in a situation where they have...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Try not to generalize your comments to a whole nation. You think ALL Pakistanis think the same way? If you did not notice this was a Pakistani who WROTE this column in the first place. Following your example, should I assume that ALL Sikhs are...

I'm cool with you now Zorax, no big deal, but the illogical moderator got me riled up by unfairly changing my post and doing nothing about the provoking post. Plus this self-styled keeper of the forum (cricket-lover) then tries to teach me manners like a bloody sanctimonious little prick. Try...

Read through the last couple of pages before you comment on stuff that you don't know about. My use of "friggin" was clearly in response to Zorax's comment about my "friggin country". I did not see any Indians standing up and saying that it was uncalled for and suddenly now two of you jump...

Well maybe "some" people here can stop bitching about the D/L method and the unfairness of this all now that the friggin Indians have been found [b]officially[b] liable for the slow over rates, basically contributing to their own defeat. Friggin crybabies.

Ignore it? Thats a pretty disgusting post just to ignore like that. And you expect to get away by a mild apology and a smile? Your post is not restricted to cricketing discussion, you are basically maligning us as a country. I could dissect most of what you have said here point by point and...

Leapt out of the way?? Inzimam needs a week's notice to leap ANYwhere. It was within the rules but you have to admit that the ball was NOT going to hit the stumps, its very clear on the replays that it was going above and to the legside of the stumps. If the ball is coming straight at you, you...

If they ever drop Asif for Sami now I will send them some poisonous snakes.

Game looks over. Two down, dream start for Pakistan. Probably a touch late on the declaration and they may yet miss another bowler, but with this start, it might be all over before tea.
