I know, Lucky Butt he got a match to play .

Why is everybody getting injured on both teams. One would almost think they're doing it on purpose to pressurise the ICC to ease the players' schedules

I seriously hope not. I paid good money to watch this tour, I'd be pretty PO'd if I found out they were faking it.

Kind of out of date but here is the scorecard for the 10-10 game.

I think i'll gulp to that as well! Especially with Mahmood on the squad.

 

[Sureshot]

A couple of things to note on that.

A) It's the Oval.
B) The boundaries were brought in a long way.
C) Test mathc mentality is different to 10 over mode.

He's still a very dangerous player though.

^ don't get th first point?

 

[RoboRocks]

Me either

The Oval is a batsman's paradise wheras Lord's is a batsman's Liverpool.

 

[usy]

but is it not good for Afridi then?

You can hardly say that Afridi will struggle in any pitch, but yes, Lord's isn't going to be easy for Afridi or anyone, but if one plays themselves in, then there is runs to be had.

This is getting ridiculous.

Pakistan produces Reverse Swinging Fast Bowlers by the dozen, time to fly in some.
Wondering why nobody has even considered Azhar Mahmood???
He's a good line and length seam bowler and a decent batsman.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Hes too fat, and not enough pace. Plus, Razzaq has the medium pace all-round spot.

On that note many are saying this is going to be a Batsmen's Series. English Batsmen have played visiting Seamers very well. They only have to contend with Kaneria.

Pakistan has a long batting line up. And they have some big names in that line up.
