Pakistan vs England Jul-Aug-Sep 2010

[AkshayS]

I just laughs whenever Pakistan bats, they always seems to come up with some world records.

An international standard team can't be 36-6 even in conditions they're not used to.

Do you mean an international team can't just blame 6/36 on conditions?

Otherwise, yes even the best batting lineups damn well can be that bad. Even in the last decade, a period of overall great batting conditions, pretty much every Test team has been in something like that position at some point. Nobody rates a team on their worst and if they don't make a habit of it, it's quickly forgotten. Pakistan however, are starting down that path.

Damnit, bat out of your crease! It's not rocket science!

Yes that's what I meant. But this isn't a one off innings though. This is third time in a row they've been 6 wickets down for under 50 runs.

My prediction was true, pakistan did get bowled out for under 75.

 

[ksduded]

you see the scorecard and think of giving up on the team, but then you come across stories like these, and can't help but back these guys.

Anyone know the record for the most consecutive team innings under 100? Because Pakistan have good chances of breaking it.

 

[Sureshot]

We shouldn't be complacent, this is Pakistan's strength, the bowling. Even so, it's hard to defend 75, even if they get 300 in the 2nd innings. You wouldn't expect England to be chasing more than 200, would you?

If we get 250, I'll be happy, given the context. Anything above that is a bonus.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

When Cook defends, why does he move his bat across? Shouldn't he be hitting it with a straight bat?

 

[Gurjot95]

Pakistan Batting performance this series by innings- 182, 88, 72

I see they are improving.

 

[AkshayS]

I told ye all that Pakistan is always eager to make (world) records.

Prediction: Pakistan to lose it big by an innings and some 150 runs.

 

[angryangy]

Seems a lot of dodgy bounce in the pitch for day 1

 

[Sureshot]

When Cook defends, why does he move his bat across? Shouldn't he be hitting it with a straight bat?

Yes, it's his major technical flaw.

He fails again. He needs some runs before Australia.

 

[shravi]

LOL, how can you drop that!?

LOL, how can you drop that!?

In this Pakistani team thats a ripper. Hard to pull those off. Give the guy some credit he made it look close.
