what a moron is Botham,, Rana is getting some appreciable reverse swing..and he thinks weather today is helping him.. a

And LOL good reply by Sanjay, saying that Bowler deserves some credit. !!

Other way around, Botham was complimenting Rana.
 
Some bad decisions from the umpires needed nothing else seems to be working.
 
eng 204/3

pakistan need a wicket here.. looks like england will get 450 here!
 
Afridi didn't put any effort to catch that one, he could have easily taken the catch.
 
things going according to plan for Pakistan management.. absolute belter of a pitch..

a run-fest and a draw
 
Yes, but if he is warned for running on to the pitch again, then he can't.

along way to go yet, i just hope we bat properley in 2nd inns when we get our chance!
 
Sami unlucky again

KP has been mighty lucky this morning.
 
***! dropped chance by kaneria!

retarded fielding!

afridi doesnt get pieterson!
 
***...................Kaneria has dropped one of the easiest of catches.
 
Ever piece of luck has gone their way, this one was the worst drop.

Kaneria made it look like the hardest chance ever.
 
The Afridi let out an almighty howl after that dropped catch that shook the whole of Faisalabad. In fact i felt it from here in London.
 
Pieterson and Bell have been incredibly lucky this morning.
 
It's not that our team has been pathetic, Sami, Akhtar, Kaneria have bowled really well but Akmal and Kaneria missed easiest of chances.

He then showed how much of a rage he was in by bowling a 78mph faster delivery.
 
eng 212/3

pakistan need to stay focused here.. i dont want a karachi 2000 job!
 
Trust Botham to start talking about his action as soon as Malik comes on to bowl.
 
pieterson gets 2 off a sweep. good fielding on boundary.
 
if i was malik i would hold my bowling arm with my other hand so it is extremely straight and bowl the ball looking and smiling at the umpire only, just to **** him off
 
kaneria drops another one. ran in slow and missed it!

the beast is angry

Damn right hes angry! Hes absolutely furious and someone is going to be on the recieving end of his fury.
 
Pietersen survives once again.............

Drops just short of Kaneria....................damn....where is the LUCK????????

It was more difficult than the first but a better fielder would have taken that i think.
 
danish is a very slow runner and a bad catcher, why is he even fielding at that position
 
he will never make it into the ODI side regardless of his bowling with his snail pace running and limited agility
 
guys please dont complain about luck!

plain and simple some fielders have been a joke and weve not taken our chances!
 
217-3 Lunch.
Pakistan very ordinary in the field today. Danish being the main culprit, followed by Kamran.

agreed. luck has nothing to do with dropping catches and missing stumpings. They cant be even called chances, they were so easy and should have been made.
 
Boring Bob giving his boring views in the most boring fashion ever heard in boring history.

How do you think Sami bowled today?

Looks like we have thrown away our chance to win this match.

this could become a one inns match and we havent had are one crappy low score of the series yet! :12:
 
Raz said:

hes bowled well. all the seamers have bowled gamely on a placid track.

sami just needs to keep at and not release pressure by trying to bowl magic balls.
 
sami did bowl well today. keeping an off stump line.
hope pakistan pull something different post lunch session.
