One big difference between Afridi and the England pair is that, Flintoff and Pietersen are class players, Afridi is an out and out slogger.

The only difference between Flintoff/Pietersen and Afridi is the fact that Afridi never defends and those two do. They maybe good but not class.[/QUOTE]


You saying that Freddie and KP aren't class?

 

[Indiangod]

Flintoff and Pieterson are much better players than Afridi.

 

[scorpion_rulezz]

No comparison between these players
each player has his own class & are renowned by it

 

[icyman]

well said .
Afridid may be a bit rash in his batting but he certainly has earned his place in the side and so have flintoff and pietersen.

I see 9(!!) votes for a 3-0 win to Pakistan. Are you guys serious??

How about we settle on a draw eh?

Did some of you guys watch the recent Rest of Pakistan vs Pakistan XI match? If you did you would wonder whether Pakistan could win even one test.

England 61-6 at Lunch was Pakistan Patron's XI.

All these matches play a crucial role in getting used to the conditions as well as experimentation.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I had to laugh when I saw the scorecard. Only Trescothick was holding his own there with 34no.

 

[nightprowler10]

Don't count them out just yet. They're playing on a low, slow track and might give the Patron's XI hell when bowling. But, of course, I'm hoping for England to crash and burn in this match.

 

[aussie1st]

A few more of these tracks would help Pak out.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Or it's just good bowling.

 

[aussie1st]

Yasir Arafat a right arm medium pacer doing most of the damage followed by Najaf Shah left arm medium fast.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Tailenders are saving them from an complete embarrasment to a little embarrasment. It's now 148-8.

Here is the scorecard:
