Pakistan 42-0 at the close
Should get 300+
apparently there is some controversy abut their spin bowler and his action when bowling doorsa. not sure of it myself but some people are quereing it
Are these some people English?
More than likely. Nationality is irrelevant in being picked for the national team, but if a bowler is releasing the ball a couple of minutes before the textbook 1 o'clock, then what the fuck has happened to the civilised game we used to love when Bradman used to score 423 against the same pub team over and over again for 20 years.Quote:

Swann. :bow:
Key partnership here.
Trott has a wicket! :haha:
202-4, Younus goes for 37.
Pakistan are 213-4 at tea.
231-5, Anderson gets Shafiq.
DSL was right. These Pakistani players are ridiculously cautious. Sub-continent pitches usually allow for 3.2 rpo + over the course of the day but these guys are draviding the shit out of it. Sensible cricket from them though - plenty of time left in the game and they just need to keep wickets. A late strike here would really leave the game in the balance. Anything less than a 120 or so run lead and England will still fancy their chances.
One thing that's quite surprising is the bowling speeds of the English pacers. They're clearly feeling the humidity. Tremlett, Anderson, Broad have all been around 125kph-135kph...they're usually up to around 150.
Big wicket - Misbah goes with just 1 over to go in the day. Swann gets him for a well made 50 odd.
Big boost for England with only the tail remaining. 91 runs the lead.
288-7, Anderson gets another one!
Pakistan were bowled out for 338. England are 32-3 in reply. :doh: Pietersen went for a duck, Cook went for 5 and Strauss went for 6. :rolleyes:
35-4, Bell goes for 4. England can't play spin.
74-5, Morgan goes. :doh:
England :lol:
What a joke of a Test nation they are
Oh em gee :(
England&SA can still win this. Get a 150 run lead and bowl them out. But this partnership is key.You heard it here first.
Trott goes.
:rose:
And Prior.
88/7
:lol:
BBC are pretty crap too.
Could be over by day three. :doh:
Swann is still in though, on appeal.
My prediction hit rate is getting worse than Joker's atm.
Come on Gul, lets have some beamers at 'Swanny's' face. Send the fucker to hospital.
Broad and Tremlett go in consecutive deliveries.
Still trail by 11.
:popcorn:
England&SA have avoided an innings defeat. Well done to them. Heroic effort.
If Gul doesn't stick one in the batsmen's head soon, I'm going to have to switch over. Sickening viewing, this.
England lead :bow:
Pakistan will have to bat again
Should be a tough chase.
Pakistan need 15 to win :popcorn:
Bet England wish Pakistan fixed it to lose this Test now dont they?
Cunts
Pakistan :bow:
A maiden over...wtf
Just whack the cunt out of the ground
Tests :doh:
Always been a fan of Pakistan. :bow:
They know their limits tbf. Sensible team.
Pakistan win by ten wickets. Competitive total for them to chase down too.

Pakistan aren't at home though, well, not really.

Great day for Cricket this.
After all the BS Pakistan had to go through, to come out and destroy the so called best team around is just satisfaction

Your boys have taken a pounding
Syn :rose:
You're having a shocker.
The batsmen need to sort themselves out, Strauss especially, along with KP. Apparently putting Panesar in for Tremlett is going to solve it - there's nothing wrong with the bowling, whatever combination they come out with, the bowlers usually produce. Also, England requested the long break between tests too. :doh:Quote:

Batting was piss poor. Who did they take on tour that can come in? Strauss has been a bit shit for a while. His place in danger? KP as well? Bell, Trott and Cook have scored enough runs over the past year or so to merit a place. Not convinced with Morgan either. Needs to play his natural game and not be Testified
Bopara? :lol:
Perhaps changing the order of where they come in is the best thing to try first but they can't just keep getting away with being poor.
