Anderson is like a kid in a sweet shop. ill have some of that inswing, then that outswing oh and the edge of his bat as well. Thank you very much.

:))):))):)))
All bowlers feel like they are being given gifts when playing against pak.
 
Yousuf would of made a 100 in these conditions. I guess he wished he was out there in the middle
 
These conditions will be tough all day. I really can't see Pakistan going past 150 that's y I wanted them to bowl first.
 
Just woke up. Why did we chose to bat first? What did Butt say at toss?
 
First of all why did Salman won the toss and elected to bat when the ball is doing something with overcast conditions?

Second why in the blue they are defending and leaving everything alone?

Pretty poor decision espcially the way we bat!
 
The ball's not going to get older if it's not going to get hit!
 
Stupid decision by Pakistan to bat first, reminds me of Pontings decision to bat and us getting Aus all out for 88.

He said he hoped to have england 4/5 wickets down by Close of play to get back in the game! ;-)
 
Anderson has to be taken off at some point

Let's hope they go after Finn
 
This is a result of being brought up on flat tracks.Gotta have seaming wickets and technique coaching at grassroots.
 
It no doubt is class, but we did help him into his rhythm. He wasn't bowling this well in his first two overs.

This ball does need a few overs before it starts swinging.
Anderson is hardly the same bowler without the swing
 
Did you see any groupings?

Just an oath.

Damn they are scared of Anderson, I just heard Salman on the mic - koi nahi, allah ka naam ley kai
 
Everything is so well disciplined from England, not many losse deliveries. And the ones that have come, we've not punished.
 
why r u guys so impatient? There are hardly any bad balls. Do you want to see 15/4?

Lets be pateint and dont loose more wickets before lunch.

Am guessing they are waiting for the sun to come out so the pitch can ease up and then it would be easy to score runs. Til then they want to defend and not lose a wicket that's the only explanation I can think of.
 
I'd like to see Sehwag bat in these conditions...
 
Playing like this is asking for trouble because england will just keep attacking fields until A pakistan batsmen decides to throw a wicket away!

Need to try and score some runs FFS!

There's no sun in the forecast, though.
 
Butt's on fire, 7 off 37 balls with a boundary. he's absolutely creaming them Mike!
- Shane Warne
 
This reminds me of watching Nasser Hussain bat
- another cracker from Warne

lol.
