Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

don't get me wrong i really rate Lewis as a bowler....just wish he was 10mph faster..

they say theres gonna be tons of rain at cardiff tomorow,
is this true?

 

[evertonfan]

There isn't much point asking us pal, unless there is a weather man amongst us.

It has been raining heavily in England for the past few days so i'd imagine that Wales isn't too different.

According to my sources there is only a 20% chance of rain for tomorrow in Cardiff.







My Sources are the weather channel though

 

[evertonfan]

Well at least the weather man isn't David Lloyd. :

Come on England, it's been ages since you've given us an ODI victory to celebrate! Give Akhtar, Asif and Afridi the tonking that they deserve.

for the 2nd odi, it doesnt look like they will get started http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=4086

 

[Pak_cricketer]

From the MET Office its only going to rain in the Night time, so we should get through.

i hope they are right, because im going to watch the 2nd odi at lords

I hope team for tomorrow is:

Trescothick
Strauss
Bell
Pietersen
Collingwood
Dalrymple
Yardy
Read
Mahmood
Gough
Broad

This team has a quality middle order, agressive openers and a long batting lineup. The bowling is poor the seamers are alright but nothing special. OUR SPINNERS ARE DALRYMPLE AND YARDY!!! They can do a job but as our only two spinners, it's just not right.

I hope Harmy is replaced by Panesar so we get our wicket-taking bowler.

 

[evertonfan]

Panesar isn't in the squad so I highly doubt that he will be included, and as for Mahmood, if he bowls like he did on Saturday then I want him in the squad, but if he bowls like he did yesterday and against Sri Lanka, then I want him nowhere near the squad.

 

[Gunner786]

even if england bring back freddie and a miracle happens they still wont stop afridi in this series!!
i can gaurantee after the 20/20 pakistan will send afridi as either opener or 1 down,
and with the bowling as it is atm i can bet on him making buckets of runs in fielding restrictions

 

[evertonfan]

Afridi is a liabitlity, he can clear any boundary and cause the opposition captain to tear his hair out, but he will always throw his wicket away, he is far too inconsistent to be a Pakistan regular. He needs to learn how to bat responsibly.

I agree with that in test matches because in tests 40 off 5 balls can be usless, but in odis its great for grabbing momentum. And if he fails with the bat his leg-spin is good in odis aswell.

 

[Eddie]

rumour has it that either Hogard or Graham Onions will replace Harmison.

Hope graham gets a game know him since we were like 12yrs old, very talented sportman, was a top badminton player before turning to cricket full time

Must be nice to have a friend who is famous.
