England vs Pakistan Test Series

[Pubey]

Finn has bent over the Pakistani's, pulled down their pants, poured some sand down their bum-cracks and dry-raped the **** out of them.

awesome stuff!

If that's what he has done then I am a massive fan!! Will he be appearing on the next episode of crime watch then!?

 

[ESG]

Nice to see that their cheeting little s**t of a wicketkeeper got a big fat zero!

 

[southend4ever]

If Aamer gets into double figures I will pull down my pants in the office and let everyone have a good laugh for 10 seconds.

update... so he slices a four over the slips and broad comes onto bowl. cheers Straussy!

And Aamer drives through the covers for 4, to bring his score to 10.....

That wasn't a middle order collapse, it was the tail.

And anything we can do, Pakistan can do just as well, if not better.

I don't like to say I told you so, but I told you so.

England's tail crumbling away was put in context by Pakistan's top order crumbling away.


The trouble is here, England are a seamer light. They need another swing bowler to maintain the pressure. We saw in our innings how the spinner coming on releases the pressure, even on a turning pitch. Playing 4 seamers is a must in all but the most spin friendly circumstances. The choice is then between a spinner for "balance" or the extra batsman.

Yep...

I am going to opt to do this at an upcoming works drinks not on the desk as planned.

I guess that's the kind of role they have earmarked Shazad for. The skiddy, bowl at the stumps bowler, especially if they can reverse it, often seem the type the tail have most difficulty with.

THat said, even watching Farhat's last over yesterday, there did seem to be some turn and uneven bounce available for a spinner, it's just that he may not get a chance in these conditions.

There is something there for the spinner, but not as much as there will be for the seamer. Why play an inferior type of bowler.

There's also the issue of Swann continually burning reviews. That was never out and was obviously going down leg. Swann's judgement has been repeatedly poor on the TURDS.

Haha, I know you want to purge finger spinners from international cricket, but at the moment, if anyone is relieving pressure it is Broad. On the basis that we WILL play at least one spinner in Australia, Im happy for them to be played throughout the summer, even if it means them having to keep it tight on non helpful pitches, or the other seamers get through plenty of overs.

Hopefully Anderson can get back into the attack soon.

 

[The General]

I get home and what happens?! No wickets and they've put on 42 runs!!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Ha ha, too right I do.

If we need a couple of overs of spin to break up the batsmen's concentration, give Capey (or Colly with his cutters) a bowl.

England's tail crumbling away

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some time ago. If our tail starts at the 6th wicket down, we should be worried. However, the collapse of our lower-middle order has been put into context by the collapse of Pakistan's top order.

It would seem that Pakistan's lower middle-order is proving rather more durable / obdurate than ours.

First time I think I've disagreed with you about cricket, old boy!

 

[Bluesmanager]

Cert for 150, very probable a double-100 for me. The Pakistanis haven't really got a hang of this DRS yet, have they? (Mind you, their 'keeper didn't really get a hang of the ball on occassion from what I saw on the highlights).

Or maybe not.....

Dreadful morning!!

Um... yeah... Mr Foot, Mr Mouth will see you now...

Still, at least we've not completely cocked up their second innings...

Doesnt it get annoying being ****ing right all the time? ;o)

We all have our crosses to bear......

FWIW when making my series predictions, I completely forgot to factor in Pakistan's fielding. Having been reminded how they can't catch I'm rather wishing I hadn't predicted a 2-2 draw!

An interesting fielding demonstration to get Strauss out this morning!!

 

[Heskey]

2nd Innings England Batting 71 for 4 ....

 

[The General]

107-6 after another sloppy run out. Now we need the tail to wag ...

 

[canveyshrimper]

England already have enough Pakistan won't get near 300+ to win. They nearly ****ed up getting 180 against the convicts last week. And teams rarely score 300+ in the 4th innings to win Test Matches.
