Pakistan vs England Jul-Aug-Sep 2010

[Themer]

The flaws in his technique aren't strictly attached to the moving ball in my opinion. It was alot more to do with the fact that he wasn't bending his knee causing him to feel outside offstump combined with the fact he didn't seem to know where his offstump was.

Even without a moving ball if you were to persist on a length just outside offstump he'd grope and push forward eventually knicking off.

He's gone now anyway, very unlucky way to go.

So England could be 6/3 tomorrow with Cook expected to go early and Anderson being a night watchman.

Excellent.

Then Trott will score a few, Kim Possible will get out to someone, and we have Morgan and Prior to contend with.

Tough day ahead, but I think Pakistan are in front to win the game.

:laugh another pakistan loss on the cards then. Credit to Cook, good knock against some decent bowling too

and Pakistan to lose now.

Lead of 200 and England have a great chance, lead of 250 and the win is pretty much guaranteed.

Good on Cook too, 100 right when you are about to be dropped, he must have spoken to Marcus North

Like I said, he did give exactly those sorts of chances early on and if one had gone to the fielder, there'd be no applause for his form. That only came after he was able to get his eye in. That works both ways, of course, as nobody looks as good on 0 as they do on 100.

To answer what the flaws are is not as important as answering why he presents those flaws. Is it completely random, or is it because he is waiting too long to see what the ball would do?

'Can Morgan pick him?'

Erm, Nope. :laugh

 

[deathrevenge9]

That cracked me up too!

 

[ksduded]

quite a change of fortunes after lunch..... if Pakistan can wrap up England under a lead of 200. They have a good chance.

 

[Sureshot]

Indeed, we are being outplayed here. I think we've shown a fair bit of complacency here.

 

[BKB1991]

Woah. Brilliant stuff from Aamir and Ajmal. Both were magnificent and have given the batsmen the game. Need to crack the only wicket ASAP tomorrow morning and take the game. Should win this game.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

the only painful thing about this series is that I cannot bear the fact we will have so few oppertunities to see this bowling attack. They are intelligent, varied and exciting.

for entertainment factor this has been probably the best series in a while (and this match in particular, had collapses, amazing bowling, good batting, gritty batting, spin bowling, seam bowling, 5-fers, newbie success, triumphant returns of old masters, tons) it has been tremendous fun. Pakistan to win and set up a live rubber please.

 

[Ahmad Shah]

Though England Scored runs more than Pakistan during this series but look how many catches were dropped by Pakistan.Both Bowling Line ups shone and I think Batsmen should feel shame

No body reached at least 400 in 10 innings so far and it will become 12 tomorrow

What, in the name of all that's Holy, are England doing????? I mean, fancy losing six wickets for around twenty runs! Still, Pakistan will deserve the win if they get it - they have an excellent bowling attack that will stand them in good stead for many years to come. Batting needs work though.

They've already done it three times this series but its been hidden by Pakistan terrible batting.
