Typical, I'll keep my "sense of reality" if you keep a hold of your logic.

Wahaab is currently the fittest of our pace attack. It's precisely to him we should look for an extra special innings. Aamer is not only younger, he's also been overused.

Since that 5fer, he's not impressed. I think he's got 3 more Tests before he's out!

England got the par score, I reckon. They're officially out of the 'critical' condition.

Since that 5 for? So two inns later!

I think that pretty much shows your imature and impatient attitude!

Its what a expect from teenage cricket fans who know next to nothing about the game!
 
Salman cant let things dirft here in the field and needs to try and mix things up and keep the batsmen guessing!

lol indeed, I think he did not give Noman an autograph or something...unhealthy obsession.
 
On this pitch England should have posted 500. They got dun.

How we bat will decide the match.
 
we are leaking runs from both ends.

if we cannot get them out, at least stop the runs

need to break this partnership before tea

I would be good for Pakistan to come in and bat as early as possible today.

First of all, I'm no teenager. This is his third innings since his Michelle and he's looked completely innocuos. It's not impatience or immaturity to suggest this guy looks an ordinary bowler. He's been our weakest link.

Let's face it, he won't get better conditions than he did this morning.
 
We should try something different. Maybe give Imran Farhat a couple of overs. Maybe broad's eyes will light up and gift his wicket

It rained for a week before the test, so the goundsman couldn't make sure it was totally flat from day one. The little grass and moisture is almost all gone now. Once the ball gets old, it's a great batting track, has been for many years now.

One or two of our batters should get a century here.

Have to agree --

Butt needs to try and think out the box and try different. Cant let this drag on for too long
 
I think Butt should keep Saeed Ajmal on one end and keep rotating the other bowlers in 3-4 over spells.

Should replace Riaz aith Amer
 
Finally a fuller delivery by Wahab and almost a wicket. Please just keep it there
 
salman is a butt

very defensive captain..attacking with 2 slips while the field is split everywhere when the opposition is 112 for 7..

Right so who do you suggest should play then?

Hes job is a 3rd seamer. Tell me which bowling attack in world has a brilliant all round seamer attack?

Wahab is a hit the deck bowler like Mitchell Johnson so on that basis hes not always going to thrive in swing conditions as his natural length is not a full one!
 
I must say, Broad is a very good batter for number eight.

He'd start getting little more credit if he starts identifying himself as an allrounder, instead of a 'bowler'.

lofted for another 2 by broad. Broad looking very good. He should be promoted up the order
 
Do you think there is any possibility that Butt is dragging this out on purpose - that he does not want to bat in these conditions.

He doesn't need to do anything, he needs to control himself and bowl maidens. He's just too erratic.
 
Like that last delivery, Wahaab should bowl that all day. Maintain some pressure.
