Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

[puddleduck]

so you mean apart from:

having no crontrol over his line
having no crontrol over his length
having no idea how to bowl a yorker
being unable to handle pressure situations

apart from those things he has potenetial?

His only attribute being his pace...

You just described every amateur fast bowler in the UK !

Basically yep, that's his problem at the moment control. He has shown on occassions for Lancashire that he could be good. If he can control his pace, he will be a useful member of the side. However at the moment he is just a liability. Given a year or two in county cricket, I do feel he could turn out to be useful player, at the moment though he is far too far away from behing International class in Odi cricket. I feel more confident in him in test cricket.

Once again we see England fail to dismiss the tail. It really is a problem for them in both Tests and ODIs.

Funny that; I joked with my mate saying that England would lose because their inability to dismiss a tail would once again resurface, and thus Pakistan would post a competetive total, and then the bowlers would build on the momentum by skittling England.

Me and my big mouth eh? :

Sajid Mahmood is good, but he really needs some control as it is a problem for him at the moment.

You tempted fate there

Strauss is gone!
Yet again another England batsmen gets in and gets out.
Soft dismissel really blew the chance to get a hundred

 

[m_vaughan]

England making easy work of this. Good positive signs.

 

[irottev]

England have done well. Now if they just get rid of Mahmood they will have a competant line up.

Strauss and Bell have done well again.

England have this one in the bag

 

[wolf]

37 to win of 52 balls. Should do it. But you never know.....

 

[evertonfan]

I think i'm hallucinating; Did England really win an ODI just now?

What a gem Bell is.

 

[wolf]

I don't think you are hallucinating, I mean I thought England won as well.

Bell certainly is turning into an exeptional player.

Very well played England..>! Pakistan have a lot to think about after this match, the openers have to be sorted out, Farhat needs to play on sunday...and also the fielding, Pakistan current are probably the worst fielding team in world cricket

this makes the match on sunday even more exciting!

 

[evertonfan]

this makes the match on sunday even more exciting!

Agree. It just wouldn't have been as entertaining if it was 3-0 Pakistan. England's victory gives them a kick up the jacksie.

I still expect Pakistan to win on Sunday though.

Pakistan fans were booing Strauss again. Idiots.

And Bell...

Well Inzy hardly sets a great example does it?

In fact, Inzi has been very athletic in the field in this series.
