We had this coming guys, just accept it. Our bowling has been winning all our matches for us. We only win if we bowl out the opponent cheaply. Now is the time to see if this team can win a match through BATTING on a good pitch.
 
once again no third slip even with the new ball for a tailender Broad.......salman butt sucks pretty bad........

Obviously not the same one as you. Earlier yes, he was effective with helpful conditions, but no more than you'd expect from a Sharma or Sreesanth. The guy's much better than his performance today.
 
they will play till 7pm today. Enough time for the 200 partnership and for broad to get a 100
 
OMG, I fell asleep at the score of 109/7,now that I woke up, it's 278/7. IS THIS THE SAME MATCH or is it a nighTMARE????
 
Asalalaam alikum wr wb,

What a bloody tragedy, pakistan had england in deep hole at 102/7 and it looked like we will eventually wrap the innings for under 150 but once again broad put up a partnership like he did at oval in the first inngs. Lets be realistic, overcast conditions have gone with sunshine spreading out and the lords wicket displaying it's true nature of flatness. But what bothers me most is that why did the fast bowlers not bowl reverse swinging yorkers ? When conditions become unfavourable then we should make it a habit to get the ball to reverse swing and bowl those wicket taking yorkers.




From 102/7 to 278/7, England have taken the massive advantage we had earlier in the day.

Broad can bat but i can't believe he's batting on 90 !

First of all, I havent blamed the captain and second of all, this position is more to do with ineffective bowling than bad captaincy. Had the bowlers looked like they were troubling the batsmen, Im sure Butt would have had more attacking fielding positions. But lets be honest, besides Amir the rest of the bowlers have looked pretty ordinary.
 
we have top bowlers in our team but unfortunately our captain is so coward to use them properly........
 
i was gonna watch the highlights show on channel Five , however, it seems that i've saved myself 45 mins!

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

^^You're going way off the point now.Lets not be idiotic.

You're contradicting yourself here,first you throw a hissy fit with the very same commentators when they say Butt's field settings are too defensive.

Now,they are not buffoons and actually know a thing or too when they see fit to praise him.

After all,they've played only 100 Tests matches each so they probably have no clue !
 
urghhh broad is going to make his 1st tonn in test match cricket :pissed: very shame for :ibutt
 
It's bitter sweet to say this, but I am the King of cricketing predictions. I was the only one who saw this happening. Some would call it negative, I call it sound judgement. And with that I bid you adieu.

what about the edges going through gaps between gully and the slips. Wouldnt u have done something differently? Ponting would of plugged all those gaps and went for the kill if the oposition was 100-7
 
This is honestly so much more frustrating than when a collapse is in process. This is the bowling equivalent of letting Marcus North get 6 wickets.
 
England looking to declare one hour before close of play.....on day 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This has been one hell of a fightback by England. Our batsmen should take notes. This is what u call mental strenghth
 
Just Pathetic, soooo frutrating, i tell you Pakistani must go througha lot , apart from Amar rest of bowlers been pathetic, why was gul not played when he was fit?????????
 
This is what happen when only 1 bowlers is expected to take wickets.

It seem they may go off for bad lights, it will be good news for Pakistan. The game is already slipping away.
 
Broad will do what none of our batsmen have done all summer and thats to get a 100. Pretty embarrasing for our batsmen
 
I hope the light is offered to the batsmen. They will have to start fresh tomorrow

Have you got a couple of screws lose in your head mate? Hows that going way off? You said good captaincy shouldnt be praised and I just gave you the example of commentators who constantly praise good captaincy :20:

And I only criticised Beefy when he criticised Butt for moving the fielder from the gully position because had that move worked, Beefy would have been praising Butt's captaincy instead

**** happens!! :37:

Broad has already scored higher than any PK batsman in this series, I think the highest was Azhar at 92
 
Broad has scored 150 altogether in his last 2 innings more than any pak bastmen's total for the series

I was referring to the bit you were saying ''What do I want,Butt to bowl himself''.Idiot.Play personal insults with your buddies during your own time.

Now quit acting like a total cretin because people disagree with Riff's Personal Guide to Captaincy.

How do you know Beefy would have praised him ? You dont get praised for being a captain ! You're just hypothesising.

Stuart Broad is a better batsman than Kamran Akmal. That's a scary thought.
 
100 to Broad. 5fer to Watson then 5fer to North and now 100 to Broad, our team is the most generous team of the World
