Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

[evertonfan]

I am biggest Pakistani Cricket fan, but (as JJ3 said) our players are ones who are play crap, and we should not call Darryl Hair 'racist'. OK we all make mistakes, even NASA do, it's a game get on with it, if you wanna blame, blame the Pakistani management for such a sh!t lineup.

Just hoping Inzi will draw this : never mind wining.

EDIT: Even though I though Gull played well.

That's the way to enjoy cricket! Well done Usy!

I thought Gul was unlucky today, but I hope he can get his fifth tomorrow; He deserves it. After England score 500 of course!

Gul was OK, but he was guilty of bowling too short today. You MUST pitch the ball up otherwise it's easy pickings. I remember India and South Africa having plenty of fun with the bat against us there in the 2002 and 2003 series respectively. Hoggard against New Zealand in 2004 is the prime example of how to do it at Headingley.

Gul was not OK prob, the best bowler in our team At The Moment..

You have just evoked memories of our great 2004 season! Ahh, those were the days!

Hoggard should have some fun tomorrow, and hopefully Mahmood will show his worth too.

Shahid Nazir looked good until he started to get tired. I don't know what's wrong with Sami but it's pretty catastrophic to be bowling that badly when you're part of a 4-man attack. I could see the logic in dropping the two all-rounders but I really think it's hurting them in terms of bowling options.

Pitch doesn't really suit him but there's still been some seam movement around so we'll see.

I think if Pakistan loose this test match they are down from 2nd in test raking.

Yep, resorting to Butt being given a bowl shows how desperate they were.

This should be blamed to idiot who choose Mohammad Sami, Danish Kaneria to play, both of them done nothing in 1st or 2nd test, both in such a bad form, and Mushy should have been played!

I was impressed by Read today, I think he can defintely bat now. Nazir was good, Gul a threat when he bowled it right. Sami has no confidence anymore, and Kaniera is not effective enough imo. Nice (but lucky) 100 from KP, and having Bell with the tail will push our total to 400+

Edit: True Usy, Mushy is in form and is good in England.

The other player suggested by the commentators was Azhar Mahmood, in form and, ironically, playing for Yorkshire.

When KP crosses 50 then you get a feeling he's up for a big one.

I don't know. I feel with the way he plays there is the potential for him to get out at any time. I believe he has actually been out rather a lot in the 40's and 50's.

I'd rather play Yasir Arafat than Mohammed Sami too. Saying that, i'd actually go with Waqar Younis over Sami at the moment.

I always get nervous watching KP bat; It seems that every ball is a chance sometimes. He doesn't half make the most of his luck though.

Waqar's left, i think waqar's younger then Inzi lol, get Mushy, he plays really good in England of what I've seen.

He's playing for Surrey, isn't he?

Anyway, Chris Read. He played some nice shots today, but he looked so unconfortable at times when the ball was actually pitched up. I think Brett Lee could really make him look like a tailender if he plays against Australia.
