3rd ODI: England v Pakistan (Eng innings)

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 1-0 up in series and clearly better side in 1st two ODIS. Today is a new day and England will be keen to fight back. Place all match updates here please.

Game starts 1430BST

 

[Gunner786]

heres hoping asif gets his first 5-fer in odi's and first of many!!

 

[MIG]

Pakistan can pretty much take an unassailable position here if they win but if truth be known, Pak supporters will expect nothing short of a 4-0 over England.

5-0 actually if you count the 20/20 as a match as well

 

[James]

Hard to believe that Asif doesn't have a 5-fer in ODIs yet...

 

[UJ]

heres hoping asif gets his first 5-fer in odi's and first of many!!

Heres hoping for a comfortable Pakistan win

Hard to believe that Asif doesn't have a 5-fer in ODIs yet...

[Disco_Lemonade]

warming up

 

[Easa]

Pakistan to win this by 7 wickets.

 

[Gunner786]

i dont think asif will ever get a 5-fer

he cant do anything once the ball is old

 

[Gunner786]

and lets hope pakistan win the toss and send afridi to bat with malik down the order!!

 

[Salman]

were all talking like a win today is a sure thing....

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

yar i want to see feast of runs today...

Rose Bowl does not cater for such wishes especially as the clever clogs at the ECB decided to make this a Day-Nighter.

 

[i m gr8]

were all talking like a win today is a sure thing....

And as if we are the best team in the world .

Our batting lineup is the best . Asif is the next McGrath , Inzimam is the best captain and whatelse .

I hope and InshAllah Pakistan will win today , But if we lose It wouldnt be a surprise to see

1. Is Inzimam past it?
2. Inzimam is too defensive captain
3. Inzimam is the worst captain
4. Was Asif a 1-2 Match wonder?
5. Shoaib Akhtar is past his best
6. The weakest link in our middle order is Mohd Yousuf
7. Hafeez shouldnt be anywhere near the team and he is Bits and Pieces
8. Afridi is useless
9. Abdul Razzaq has lost the zip in his bowling

And 100s of other points .

But lets see ,

InshAllah Pakistan will win

Dont agree at all but you are entitled to your opninion.

Tresco, Strauss, Cheatersen, Bell & Cottenwool are on a low with some sort point to prove, we could have a fight on our hand...

Michael Holding interviewing ASIF cheetah

Asif where are you from : im frm Sheikhupura, punjab .


Asif where have you learned : i have always tried to watch glenn Mcgrath, wasim,waqar, imrakhan, was always a quick learner so ...

Asif Wasim akram used to use the crease a lot like you : yeah Try to change the postiion, and try to think like a batsman.


Asif you dont seem to lose any control : yeah when i played Aus in 2005, i was very skinny, i went back home done hard work done weights, .

Asif you seem to change the shinny side of the bowl while you come into bowl : haa haaa yes, thats true im learning, still learning how can i tell you that

Chaps - pls note that this thread is for discussion but is also used by many around the world to get quick score updates as Cricinfo etc are very slow to update at times.

Pls post score updates as frequently as you can

I'll be happy if Shoaib does a Waqar but hopefully Kashif will make sure we dont get a repeat of the crowd behaviour from that game

 

[iZeeshan]

That was certainly an unplayable delivery

 

[ShowStopper]

2.30pm Shoaib Akhtar to take first dart. He's just scratching out his run-up. Hairstyle alert: he's sporting a half-ponytail today.
