[imshally81]

[Amjid Javed]

should be looking to bat first if we win the toss.

Lets hope we get the basics right today. Interms of strike rotation, picking up singles, using power plays at right times etc..

I hope our bowlers have a game plan today and are dumb ass skipper uses some intelligence in the field for once.

[AZ]

we have to go all full throttle after 30-odd overs today, absolutely no excuses today.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

i dont think batting was a problem last time.

Getting 294 is a huge accomplishment.

England getting it, is a failure on part of our bowlers.

I am looking for improved bowling.

 

[Saurav]

Lamboo dropped

 

[A.M.]

Wright in for Collingwood

and relly bad field placings, giving away easy singles.

 

[AZ]

Shahid will make a 50 in 15 balls today, Inshallah!

 

[Acim]

Another good news, Colli out Fluke in.

Afridi is notorious for lots of things, but having brains is not his strong point.....

 

[AZ]

Another good news, Colli out Fluke in.

I always feel safer as a Pak supporter when Colly is at the crease

 

[Acim]

Afridi is notorious for lots of things, but having brains is not his strong point.....

Why do Pakistani captains suck so bad when it comes to tactics, even after playing so much cricket is just mind-boggling.

, has been out of form, but is a quality player could have come good anytime.

 

[NJamal]

Akhtar wants to go back to the long run up

 

[AZ]

Walikumsalam, andar ajao bhai, samosay khao

 

[Acim]

Akhtar wants to go back to the long run up

He himself can't blv that he has played so many matches without getting injured so just wants a rest from the next match or even half way through this match.

 

[ShehryarK]

Time for us to start winning.

Need 320 on the board if its a batting pitch.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Lack of education my friend. Playing cricket does not open your mind.

You learn these things, as your mind broadens. The literacy rate in Pakistan is 30 percent more or less.

Our cricketers are not literate enough to understand the intricacies of planning and strategy.

Look at literacy rate of other teams. Hence, the difference.

True.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Colly playing was better for us, i think.

Luke Wright can hit them big, and win some.

Err , that just made me hungry

mostly against poor bowling, I think our bowling is still pretty good with quality spinners and good pacers.

 

[NJamal]

Colly's not playing is bad news for us
