Butt is so irritating with his defensive,crappy field settings.

Amir comes back on to bail us out once again.Poor kid.
 
If Pakistan cannot break this partnership soon, they should go all out on containing runs and hope the morning will provide better assistance to their bowlers.

I would have had 3 slips in for trott early on. Infact trott snicked it through the 3rd slip but Butt had take in out. Butt seemed to defensive early on

Are all Local Club Stars like this ? :malik

SORRY for having an opinion !

He should have had a gully in place before and more men around the bat with Ajmal.

Don't post ''Riff-Raff'' ;-)

Like I said to chui_kadoo, if the batsman got caught out to the position where Butt moved his fielder from the gully position, you would be like great captaincy and all.

Or are you just one of those trolls who only come on to criticise a particular player? :30:

Peeps, have some faith in the team! I was saying the same things about the team during the last test, when the england batsmen looked like taking the game away from us, but then pak being typical pak where just playing the old rope a dope!! :-)
 
Real silly here - arguable the best with the ball today Amir has only one slip at the moment for Trott
 
we need a legit 5th bowling option. I think we lack an allrounder hammad would have been handy in this situation
 
Just woke up and have to say..
When i slept they were 74 - 5
How the hell does Broad get 84* ..
 
M . Youuf needs to score big tomoorow. Two of our guys need big hundreds since everyone is saying this is a flat track
 
lol at what we have achieved with Broad.
True he is decent but I think we let him get away a bit.
It is funny how he is acting like a top order bat right now

I would ask Wahab to pepper Broad with the some short balls and make him unconfortamble and then dish in the full and straight ball.

Oh please, Broad is not a tailender that would fall victim to such ploys:))). He seems pretty comfortable with the short balls and besides he has settled into the crease to be suprised with short pitch bowling :iamlegend
 
Umar gul should have played today. Amir and Asif had no backup and hence we got screwed.

You dont get praised for captaincy.Its expected of you.I dont know which set of emotional fans you're referring to that will be all like ''Great captaincy,I'm erecting with joy and so on''.

When you're on the backfoot like this,you need men around the bat and at least 3 slips,2 slip+1 gully.chui_kadoo said Beefy mentioned this too,not only Beefy,but Michael Holding,Gower and Lloyd.

He needs to lead from the front,lead the charge and fight back.

Right now this is incredibly timid stuff.

And no,it might interest you that my name is actually Salman ! Dont tar all newbies with the same brush.

I don't think it's a certainty that we'll lose (there is a lot of cricket, and rain, to deal with still). But at this point, Amir's magical spell has completely gone in vain.

Ok since u seem to know more than the Analysts on sky sports what would u do from this position.
 
salam alaikum all. just see the score and this is a good know by these two. broad ofcourse becoming an allrounder. the way he is playing defensive against amir and asif (pak batsmen should learn from him). too bad pakistan lost the advantage but still 3 days left of the game so you never know.
 
What hurts so much is the lack of perception by the team, they got complacent and it's hurting us.
 
Why is Mr. :ibutt there at lord's ? whenever he goes to watch match in stadium our team starting playing like crappers :pissed:
 
does anybody know where to download international cricket captain 2010 online?
 
Just 1 wkt!!!!

Great batting and conditions have eased a lot. We are still in the game but need 350+.

Ive also heard the very same commentators say things like "Good captaincy" as well. I guess they must be bufoons because good captaincy shouldnt be praised. Right?:younis

You want him to bowl a few overs :ibutt
 
England should declare now. They have already scored enough runs to enforce a follow-on upon Pak.
