there is no way we can blame bowden for this we have kicked ourselves in the ass in the game and are now looking for someone to blame as excuse making cowards.

Exactly lets just stop blaming umpires....
 
100 run partnership almost up here - inzi needs to wake up and realize the spinners are getting killed - we need to take a shot with a new ball for some quick wickets before this match gets completly out of hand.
 
flintoff gone. ugly slog!

akthar strikes!

yesssssssssssss

Pretty difficult to win a game when the opposition is 90 runs ahead with 5 wickets in hand - dropped catches or not
 
YAS! Fred tries to slog Shoaib and finds Malik at midwicket, what a terrible shot from Flintoff and a massive slice of luck for Pakistan to get a wicket from that ball
 
boy both time RANA. first he missed an ez run out then dolly catch. he should get replaced by AFRIDI. i mean Rana has given chances to bboth batsmen Freddie and Treskotha
 
Freddie tried to take shoaib on from the first ball and paid the price but still Flintoff has done the damage
 
Akhtar to Flintoff, out Caught by Malik!! That has been gifted, Pakistan were looking out of sorts, Akhtar tossed up a slower one, Flintoff goes for a big drive, not quite getting it right, skies it straight to deep mid-wicket, Malik makes no mistake and Freddie is gone! A Flintoff c S Malik b S Akhtar 45(79) 4s-7 6s-0
 
guys....calm down....
hasan raza is gona either gona get for a duck or score a double ton in the next innings ::J
that's my only hope
 
Lapadoo out.
And a pakistani fielder actually catches...it was a tough one cuz u need right timing to grasp the ball and close ur hands...bravo Paksitan.
 
Now we need a straight ball to Jones on off stump, then find a way to get the rest of them out

Miggy, why don't you call Noddy to radio Inzi for new ball, or take Bob's Laptop and throw it at him to get your message ;-)
 
Shoaib's speed is in the 75-80mph range so far, hopefully he's just saving himself for the new ball and not injured

:))) :))) Where were you when pretty boy (Rana) dropped the catch or failed to hit the wicket......

Is it just me, or is Shoaib's hair growing back? He truely is Superman
 
very good ball 1st up, good line.

we need to run thru england here with new ball.
 
Shabbir needs to make the batsmen play more, he's got a great economy rate so far but that's because the batsmen have been able to leave most of his balls alone. He has to take advantage of the new ball against a new batsman. That last ball was more like it

***! shabbir u idiot! stop wasting the new ball!

Thats been his biggest problem. He hasnt made the batsmen play enough and although that may mean hes been economical it also has meant he has not looked anywhere near like taking a wicket. They have just been content to let the ball through to the keeper.

FFS, bowl a quickish ball that straightens on off stump. This is one time that Sami might have actually come in useful and Inzi isnt using him

is akhtar bowling fast? i mean its the new ball and the new batsmen is on strike.

No he is pacing himeself.....His hamstring tightened on him earlier so I think he's being very careful.....

really??
don't tell me he will be injured again??
 
Shoaib's bowling mostly wayward to right handers and bowling to Tresco where he should be bowling to the right handers.

then wats the point of putting him on? shouldnt sami be put on so that the ball can be delivered fast and swinging....otherwise jones isnt going to get out....

Inzi doesn't have faith in Sami right now, and has been pretty expensive....
