Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

[ZexyZahid]

I wouldn't mind Azhar Mahmood coming in since there a lot of bowlers missing. Also I wouldn't mind Mushtaq Ahmed coming in. But PCB is really stiff in not selecting AND playing him.

Afridi looks in good nick.. 41 off 12 *gulp*

Yeah, and of the first four balls he hit 22 runs. : Zaheer Khan was the victim. But this was a Twenty20 match. I don't think he will do it in the Test match. Unless Pakistan has build a total and he can hit.

And it's raining injuries now.

Infact, it was a 10/10 match lol.

Styris bowled 2 overs for 40 something runs. Mega ouch!

Infact, it was a 10/10 match lol.

Nope, it was a Twenty20 match, reduced by rain to 10 overs a side. Not that I'm being pedantic or anything, but it's always best to get the facts straight I feel.

I knew that :/ thanks. Now we have gone in a circle.

The test is on now. That Pakistan batting line up looks very long to me. Will be dangerous for England.

 

[ZexyZahid]

England will bat. Hoggard will play today. From Pakistan there is no Malik and Younis Khan.

 

[Sureshot]

56-0 from 10.

One of the most succesful partnerships of the modern era continue.

25 matches 2329 runs @53.91 with 7 100 partnerships.

England off to a Flyer. Pakistan has to bowl better than this.
Gul looks OK beat the batsmen a couple of times, but Sami is unimpresive.

 

[Sureshot]

Good decision Mr Bucknor, appeal for a inside edge, that looked close and sounded a bit like bat, but was just trousers.

Now Tres has gone though. 60-1.

Gul caught Akmal. Horrible shot.

 

[manee]

60-2. Great ball from Razzaq.

Cook dropped by Farhat. Younis Khan has been missed dearly already from his second slip position. He should have left it for Inzi at first slip

 

[Sureshot]

KP is doing a rebuilding job atm, some glorious drives.

21 from 19, 88-2.

We'd do well to keep this session to a 2 wicket loss, there is a lot of swing out there.

KP now gone.

Stupid leave. We should have bowled now.

Poor decision actually, 2 inches over the top at least.

 

[manee]

England need a rebuilding partnership now. But with Razzaq, an expert at probing the corridor of uncertainty, Bell may struggle when he comes in

 

[irottev]

That decision on KP was a poor one from Taufel. THat hit him very far up. Dangerous leave indeed but not hitting the stumps.

England blew a great start again. When the first wicket falls, the other is soon behind, once again.

Razzaq has bowled well.

 

[manee]

Taufel is the human umpiring machine . There is more chance of Hawkeye being wrong than him

 

[nightprowler10]

Wow. Top delivery by Kaneria, almost got Colly there. The ball's not turning much yet though, so that's good news for England.

 

[s2sschan]

KP now gone.
Poor decision actually, 2 inches over the top at least.

The ball was in Off Stump line but a bit high.
The fact that he didn't offer a shot went against him.

As far as I am concerned, batsmen are expected to play a shot when the ball is on the off stump.
