England in Pakistan

[andrew_nixon]

guys do you know who was the first chinamen bowler in history?

The first person to bowl it at international level was Ellis Achong, who was a West Indian of Chinese origin. It was probably around before that though, although he inspired the name.

Thanks for the information Andrew. i get it.. since he was of chinese origin and since he was the first to bowl that kind of delivery at the international level it was named "left arm CHINAMEN".. :cool:

England 34-3 against Pakistan A now

Now they are on 40-5 after 14 overs only. :

What pitches are you Pak producing

 

[ZexyZahid]

Now it's 44-6!

so england winning the ashes was a fluke?

 

[ZexyZahid]

They have to get used to the climate. Don't know when that will happen.

Or maybe there is something wrong with the pitch. But I have my doubts, since I think there will be played also a Test match and ODI matches.

 

[adthomp]

is it the wicket or is it poor batting/?? wish I could watch the game

 

[ZexyZahid]

I can't see it either. The scorecard is enough to make me laugh.

Just follow it here: http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/NEW/LIVE/frames/ENG_PAK-A_06-08NOV2005.html

Now it's 53-7. Mohammad Asif 5-40.

No they were clearly the better side. This just means they aren't the number 1.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Cricinfo is very slow with the update.

OH MY GOD

53/7 (18 ov)

Sorry I just had to laugh at that. Especially after the Ashes.

 

[ZexyZahid]

They aren't that bad. It's now 58-7 after 19 overs. Scored five runs in that over (!)

Not a good start for England in the tour so far.

 

[irottev]

Its one thing doing badly and losing in a warm up game and its another thing being 58-7 in a warm up game.
